Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 13 Update

 

Hiya, PPPers - I'm back after the last interminable international break of the calendar year with our usual weekly update of the PPP Game standings. Domestic footie returned with a bang with loads of surprising results. The upshot of it is that Arsenal reclaimed top spot again with a win over Brentford while Citeh dropped to second after a draw with third-place Liverpool. Villa defeated Spurs this morning to trade places with the North Londoners in the remaining European spots. 

The relegation zone is where it all gets very interesting. After a Thanksgiving present of a 10 point deduction for FFP violations, Everton have now dropped into the dropzone in 19th, allowing Luton to escape the clutches of relegation - at least for this week. Of course, a 0-3 drubbing by United at Goodison didn't improve the mood on the blue side of Merseyside even as they must have admired that Garnacho overhead kick spectacular. Wow! 

In the Championship, Leicester extended their lead to 10 point, while Ipswich dropped points to WBA and my beloved Leeds dropped two points at bloody Rotherham (grrr!). Southampton, WBA and PNE round off the playoff hopefuls. 

Real Madrid are back on top in La Liga, which at least gives us a couple of point to offset the loss of 10 points at the top of the Prem. And the Striking Viking scored again, raising his total to 14 goals in 13 matches, setting a new Premier League record for the fastest 50 goals. 

It all means a loss of quite a few points and has produced a new chart topper for this week - United We Stand! Here are the standings: 

1. United We Stand - 35 points

2. Teddy Goalesevelt - 33 pts 

3. Blue Devil - 30 pts

4. Bee's Knees - 29 pts

5. Someone Said - 27 pts

6. MOT the Hoople - 26 pts

7. Red Devil 1FCK - 25 pts

-  West Ham Rising - 25 pts

9. Man Utd Rules - 24 pts

-  oticoN - 24 pts

11. Red Dragon - 23 pts

12. Gooner71 - 21 pts
