    Sir Robert,

    This bet is looking a lot closer than I thought it would.

    Thankfully the right way. So at least I now want you to win.

    May have to offer you a cashout to limit the losses.

    The two charities will be on the edge of their seat for the next few months.

    Lol I said that thinking they always challenge. Little did I know how utterly kack they would be so far. Surprise of the season so far.

    Worth a bump as well this thread.

    Well done to @Otter @miked2006 @YellowKicks for getting the top two correct and in order.

    I'm fairly pleased with how close I was with my overall predictions, including having us down for 1st.

    What's really alarming is how many of us were perhaps foolishly optimistic about having a manager actually last a whole season!

    Well we came second, so it's £10 to a charity of your choice from me.

    Name it and I'll get it paid.

    Will take the top two and relegation looking likely to be spot on! (less said about derby and stoke in the playoffs).

    Watford guesses were prior to deciding to sell everyone although Sarr for top scorer would have been a smarter prediction. Of course we changed manager.

    I got the top 2 but not in the right order, 2/4 play off teams, and likely to be 2/3 relegation.

    For top scorer I obviously spelt Sarr wrong!

    I got the two cup exits correct but Ivic didn't make it to Christmas.

    A lot of people thought Derby would be in the playoffs by the looks of it.

    I thought Barnsley would be relegated! They started poorly but Ismael pulled a blinder.

    We won't know for certain until Saturday whether or not Ivic will be manager for the final match, so I'm not ruling it out just yet.

    **** me loads of people dropped the ball on Derby (I say as I predicted them to get 10th haha)! Stoke were looking good for play-offs until Tyrese Campbell got injured tbf, I think I had them down for a play-off push. Seems a lot of people forgot about the Sheffield Wednesday points deduction, it was -12 at that point, although there was speculation that they'd get it reduced at least, which ended up happening

    Didn't think Deeney and Gray would be so pathetic, thought our young players would have more of a role (including the likes of Suarez), but I never thought we'd keep Sarr! Turns out I was being massively naive in thinking our managerial policy would change!

    Bloody hell we never do it the conventional way do we

    I always thought Barnsley would be safe, never thought Barnsley would get play-offs, that's both an outstanding achievement, but also a damning indictment on this division in a way, the big Midlands clubs in particular were really pathetic this season

    Thank you Sir Robert.

    Naturally I wanted you to win as soon as it was clear we wouldn't be last.

    Please donate to any Mental Health charity of your choice, or your local Samaritans. In honour of fellow 'Orn Carl Ballard, whom several on here will know from Bedmond/KL/Hemel, who sadly ended his own life 2 years ago.

    I will be matching it.

    Looking through the thread, you just cant understand why so many companies want to break into the sports betting market.

    Shows how hard this division is to predict, did anyone come close to envisaging that the Scum would finish above Stoke and at least nine places above Derby??

    Mind you, every division has its few surprises every season - look at Liverpool, West Ham, Villa and Sheff Utd in the Prem this one...
