Not over yet. I'm enjoying the battle at the top for a change.

CONGRATULATIONS to Robert on winning this season CTO PL. Fantastic effort in chasing down that no hoper Gringo in the end. I applaud you young man. Well done.

[Robert]

I must say I’m surprised to have pipped you and Doofers Dad at the very end!

Its good fun, thanks for doing it and I’d encourage more forum members to have a go at it next season.

And thanks for the “young man”! I get my bus pass in a few months!!

Congratulations, Robert.  To be fair, I was never really in the hunt.  But rather like ICT, I came into some late form only to slip up a bit in the final two rounds of games.  

Hard luck, Gringo.  Maybe next season will be your year.  You could then pull the plug on the game and be the champion in perpetuity!

Many thanks for running the prediction league.  It is a bit of fun and it is a shame the numbers get fewer each year.  Hopefully a bit more competition next year.

Already got mine so it makes you younger than me so you qualify as a young man

Thanks DD. I blew the title with an Arsenalesk performance. Think I was some 150 points ahead at one stage having got 3 correct scores one week. It's not very often I hit top spot so it was nice whilst there. I also played 5 games less which would have made ll the difference.

Thank you for playing. Yes it would be great to have more playing but my efforts to get more involved have failed.

Thanks Gringo, looking forward to defending my unexpected title win.

I’m delighted you are doing this again. It is good, friendly fun and I hope you get some new participants this season.

[Robert]

Thanks for keeping this going Gringo.

I’ve just seen the final table: two in a row, which I’m amazed at given I normally back ICT to win.

Looking forward to another close battle next season, and hopefully some new players enter.

Indeed, massive congratulations to you on retaining the CTO PL Bragging Rights title. I don't keep a record of winners but, I can't remember anyone retaining the title before. You could be the first but I'll stand corrected. A poor show from me this season and never looked like hitting the top spot all season. 

The CTO PL will return next season and hopefully without adding teams we've never seen in this league before.

It's just a shame we can't attract more players to the contest.

Well done.

My thanks too, to Gringo for keeping this going.  It is always a bit of fun and very quick to take part in.  Hopefully a few more taking part next season.  Congratulations to Robert for his back to back successes.  I left it too late again and didn't quite manage to pip you on the post. Bring on the new season!
