Stoke - Bolton
Sunderland - Man Utd
Swansea - Liverpool
Tottenham - Fulham
West Brom - Arsenal

All the games kick off at 15:00 on Sunday. Still sorting out the results from the last couple of rounds, so will make some punditry-style remarks on the potential winners and losers in our league once they've been done!

Ok, time for some naff comments about the table that you've probably all worked out anyway

Pigeon Killer goes into the final round a huge 17 points clear of Shamikebab. Compare this to last year, when Cutler had just a 1 point lead over his rival Nossmayo. It's also interesting to note that Cutler's score of 248 at this point would only be enough to earn him 8th place this year!

Beyond first place, it's very close. Shamikebab and BaZ87 could easily switch positions on the podium, with me and The Pat having an outside chance of anything outside 1st place. Equally, simulatorman and stoddy could both go for European qualification at our expense! Particularly impressive in the latter case, stoddy having missed a couple of rounds compared to the rest of us! This should be interesting

Not entirely sure whether the aforementioned 'punditry hat' really is for me. At any rate, let's have a virtual drum-roll...

Pigeon Killer obviously wanted a nice round score for himself at the end of the season, as he finishes bottom of Round 38 with 6 points! That doesn't stop him from being our champion, though, with 280 points. Shamikebab maintains his runner-up spot by 1 scoreline (said with absolutely no malice! )

In the other prizes, Pigeon Killer wins the Scorelines award, with 45. That's three more than last year's winner.

In the 'consistency' award for correct outcomes regardless of scorelines, BaZ87 is our winner with 158. He finished second in this last year, so obviously knows his stuff

Here's the top 10 from last season for comparison - a great improvement all round! This is a good time for me to nod approvingly in the direction of Mr. Gary for how much better the tables look this year

Cutler 380 / 143 / 36 / 251
Nossmayo 380 / 123 / 42 / 249
gumbald 380 / 135 / 38 / 249
simulatorman 369 / 136 / 37 / 247
BaZ87 376 / 137 / 36 / 245
Steve09 380 / 123 / 39 / 240
The_Pat 380 / 129 / 37 / 240
Lawro 364 / 123 / 38 / 237
cheets64 336 / 116 / 38 / 230
syke 379 / 132 / 32 / 228


In the Points Per Prediction table, overall congratulations go out again to Pigeon Killer, but a special mention for Stoddy, who's third place shows that he may have been challenging for an overall win had he predicted for all the games.

Thanks to everyone for playing. Please put your predictions in for the Euro 2012 game as mentioned by Mr. Gary, and try not to predict too many bad results for England
