I'm way behind on the spreadsheet but I will definitely have some time tomorrow.

The title is going down to the last day of the season. An Everglade loss coupled with a 13th Doomwheel win gives the title to the Skaven, else the Wood Elves will be walking away with their first (non-shared) league title. In the other match, Gertrude & co are attempting to break the record for most casualties inflicted in a league season.

13th Doomwheel - Fables
Everglade Wanderers - Bad For Thy Elf
Hambridge Archers - Orkly Ducklingz

I'm going for home/home/away.

Okay - I reckon

Doomwheel - sounds like they're on a roll if they're second.

Welves - no explanation needed.

Ducks - they have the strength to take on the trees. "Timber!!"

Hoho looks like La is posting Casualty estimates again, and he's TOTALLY UNDERESTIMATED THE DUCKLINGZ.

C'mon pitch clearance!!!

Rats to win, Welves to bore-win and Ducklingz-Halfingz in a score draw (for a win on the pools) with IbrahimavOrc failing to score when there's no Halflings, or trees, or ineligible players (Yes Zara, I'm looking at you) left on the pitch to stop him.

But, in the spirit of my Britishness I will be routing for the Delves to beat the Welves and the Shamerats to beat the CowardlyDogs.

Doomwheel - sounds like they're on a roll

*rimshot*

Hambridge Archers 2 - 5 Orkly Ducklingz

This would require the orcs to invest their energies in the ball rather than seeking to punch the opposition... I can't see that happening!

Why these claims of wood elves being boring? It's not like they always win, or that they score in a boring manner, or that they rarely score at all. I'm assuming it's jealousy.

Clearly you've played the wood elves well this season (and however many they've played in before). Of the 7 games this season, two have been close (the 3-2 win and 1-2 loss), one medium (3-1) and the others massacres (3-0, 4-0, 5-0, 6-0). Scoring isn't everything though - they're so good that its hard for them to score a really spectacular touchdown - a bit like watching Man U roll over a village team. If you want to be more exciting, for the final game you could bench the wardancers and play the tree as a lone wide receiver. If only you'd had the foresight to give him diving catch... ;-)

The 3-1 was really close, the 3rd was in the last turn and came as a result of a failed pass that would've made it 2-2.

Well naturally I would've given Bee Tiered diving catch, but I haven't rolled a double on him. Seriously though I think people would find it a bit insulting if I tried to score with the tree.

13th Doomwheel - Fables 3-1 to the rats.

Everglade Wanderers - Bad For Thy Elf 3-2 to the Woodies
Hambridge Archers - Orkly Ducklingz 2-1 to the Archers. There's a pitch clearance but it's the Orcs all getting sent off for fouling the Treemen (one of who has +mv which is amazing!)

Pffft a halflings gotta do something partliculary special in order to make the lads respect the stubby git, they prefer punching stubby gits in the face.

Percy's gone full hipster and got a plaid shirt for the full lumberjack experience. Them trees are coming DOWN squire.

Game 1:
Orkly Ducklingz (1) vs Everglade Wanderers (8)

Game 2:
The Brave Harts (2) vs Fables! (7)

Game 3:
A Fistful of Boomstick (3) vs The Mighty Undercheesers (6)

Game 4:
Hambridge Archers (4) vs The 13th Doomwheel (5)


Reember, it's a cup, so if you predict a draw you are 100% guaranteed to be wrong :)

I'll go for Everglade Wanderers, Brave Harts, Undercheesers and Doomwheel.

For a moment I thought the above was score predictions...



edit:

Game 1:
Orkly Ducklingz 0 vs 4 Everglade Wanderers
Alan will finally Die.

Game 2:
The Brave Harts 2 vs 1 Fables!
The Fables still won't have recovered from losing their stars.

Game 3:
A Fistful of Boomstick 1 vs 0 The Mighty Undercheesers
The Mighty Undercheesers still won't have recovered from losing their fever.

Game 4:
Hambridge Archers 2 vs 5 The 13th Doomwheel
It will be crazy.

Game 1:
Orkly Ducklingz vs Everglade Wanderers - Brutal 2-1 win for the Orcs. Podcast solidarity takes precedence over reality :)

Game 2:
The Brave Harts vs Fables! - Brave Harts win 2-0 because the Feebles! all redeadificate.

Game 3:
A Fistful of Boomstick vs The Mighty Undercheesers - Undercheesers win 3-1 but lose at least 1 key rat.

Game 4:
Hambridge Archers vs The 13th Doomwheel - 3-2 to the Archers because I like to win even with this terrible team.
