Oooh my new favourite stat....

I have gone 22 games across 4 teams without drawing a match. I'm like the anti-RL3.

Overall I have 6 draws in 78 games. Or to put it another way, 1 more than Red Lion 3 got in 8 matches (season 7 league).

So.... predict a draw for me at your peril! Oh, you all predicted me to lose this weekend. As you were then chaps!

Punch Dummies vs One Hit Wonderz
This will be awesome but the goblins will lose 1-4.

A Fistful of Boomstick vs The Nermal Distribution
Bottom of the table clash which promises great fun and a mummy catching a bomb. 1-1.

Orkly Ducklingz vs The Mastercheesers
With our title charge in tatters the lads have nothing to play for but pride. 1-0 to the Ugly Donglings.

MarS Spiders vs Bad For Thy Elf?
Oooooh, filthy filthy filthy filthy elf on elf action. No one wants to see that. 3-3.

Fables! vs Team Shrek
Boiiiiing boiiiing squelch. 4-1 to the Necromantics if id3 can concentrate as hard as he did last night (in our match).

Punch Dummies vs One Hit Wonderz

Percy gives Pudge a few pointers who goes on to spend 7 turns in the KO box after trying to find the Krox's 'Weak Spot'. 3-1 to the Lizards

A Fistful of Boomstick vs The Nermal Distribution

And intense... draw.

Orkly Ducklingz vs The MasturBaters

Percy was happy to hear the Self Lovers are missing a Stormvermin... but Gutterlickers+La=Fear. 4-1 to the rats; with the score not representing how close the game was; La dispossessing PilrOrc and back-to-fronting at least twice and electing not to stall.

MarS Spiders vs Bad For Thy Elf?

Vomit inducing ball-wanging all over the shop. 3-2 to NJ who wins because he's a bit more brutal.

Fables! vs Team Shrek

ID spends the game feeling smug that he beat La and expects to walk this one... and promptly forgets to concentrate, loses his wolves and watches ogres prance to TDs. 2-1 Ogres.

Come on, I've beaten the season leader - the rest of you haven't managed that yet.

Punch Dummies vs One Hit Wonderz
Well this one's over already by the sound of it. Kinda hard to predict things in retrospect.

A Fistful of Boomstick vs The Nermal Distribution
The Boomstick have the stronger team. 2-1 BS?

Orkly Ducklingz vs The Mastercheesers
Rats 3-0.

MarS Spiders vs Bad For Thy Elf?
2-1 Spiders

Fables! vs Team Shrek
Fables 2-1

A Fistful of Boomstick vs The Nermal Distribution
2-1 to the Boomstick. They're just more reliable than the Underworld.

Orkly Ducklingz vs The Mastercheesers
A return to form for the Cheeserons. 3-1.

MarS Spiders vs Bad For Thy Elf?
Assuming my players are still out injured I think the Dark Elves are well placed to win this one. 3-2 to the Dark Elves

Fables! vs Team Shrek
1-1 draw as Ogres act like elves and werewolves die.

Going to go out on a limb here and say this isn't going to happen.

Right here's mine delivered through the medium of rhyme...

A Fistful of Boomstick vs The Nermal Distribution
Injuries galore; a one one draw

Orkly Ducklingz vs The Mastercheesers
All hail the cheese; they win with ease

MarS Spiders vs Bad For Thy Elf?
The White Duke is Thin; With Ziggy they shall win

Fables! vs Team Shrek
A victory for Fable, they are the more able

It’s almost like someone’s been ill for several days, and has come back to work with over a hundred emails to go through, and is deliberately avoiding actually doing so for as long as possible.

I Predict:

Punch Dummies vs The Nermal Distribution

This will be excellent. 2-2.

One Hit Wonderz vs The Mastercheesers

This won’t. 2-0.

A Fistful of Boomstick vs Bad For Thy Elf?

11xAG5 blodgers < 1xAG6 mummy. 0-3.

Orkly Ducklingz vs Team Shrek

Poor Gertrude. 2-1.

MarS Spiders vs Fables!

Elf Elf Elf Elf Frenzy Elf. 3-1.

Punch Dummies vs The Nermal Distribution

Hilarity / incompetence will ensue. No idea who's the favourite. I suspect Abom's better at using his players than I am, but he has a higher raw goblin percentage. 2-2 may be right, but this is a genuine chance for the Dist so 3-1 Nermal!

One Hit Wonderz vs The Mastercheesers

Running, running and more running. "Say cheese!" 4-2

A Fistful of Boomstick vs Bad For Thy Elf?

Elfs play too much elf ball and win 3-1.

Orkly Ducklingz vs Team Shrek

"Snotling squishy. Funny." 3-1 Duckz.

MarS Spiders vs Fables!

More elf ball. 3-1.

Yes thanks I did read that.... I'll elaborate then, I'm amused that rather than doing predictions on the Monday as normal - when he presumably wasn't at work - he waits until he's at work and uses work time to do them instead....

Punch Dummies vs The Nermal Distribution
Draw. i want to see RL3 get off zero points

One Hit Wonderz vs The Mastercheesers
I think the cheeser's grater skills will prevail, although they could end up getting bashed to bits. 3-2 Skaven

A Fistful of Boomstick vs Bad For Thy Elf?
1-1 after an epic punch-up

Orkly Ducklingz vs Team Shrek
Nuffle hates me, Daigaro hates scoring, so 2-0 Orcs.

MarS Spiders vs Fables!
I want to say draw, but 3 draws is too many, so I will go for the elves in a high-scoring encounter.
