MILLERS BANTER PREDICTION LEAGUE FIXTURES( NO 17)
Permalink  
 

Time flies by when Im the driver of a train and I ride on the foot plate there and back again...

Some of you may identify yourselves as coaches. Others may be in training.

And some yet may simple be first class, while some of you are mere passengers at the moment.

 

Is there any youngster that hasnt imagined steaming down the track whistle in hand and tooting and hooting as she blows.

I thought not. Even The loan arranger is drawn to the Black Cylindrical shiny body as she huffs and puffs her way into the tunnel.

In fact here is a poem- wrote by a Millers Banterer with a declared love for all things ferroequinological-

that I received a few days ago and which provided inspiration for this weeks Bonus:

 

Im in motion

Deep inner formation.

She is my lotion

come on, by my locomotion.

Huffer-puffer

Huffer-puffer

Huuffer-puffer...puff

Where is my inspiration

somewhere down the track.

Huffer-puffer

Huffer-puffer

How shall I move?

turn your wheels, turn your wheels.

dont go so slow...the signals set for go!

Speeding now...

...Im a machine

A big black machine

infinite tack is behind and ahead.

where will I crash!

A glorious end.

 

 

 

Thank you for that (anonymous) . Truly inspiring.

So, to the bonus.

After last weeks pitiful showing where only 70 points from a possible 320 were claimed, The bosses of the League-now that we are going live in the USA-demanded more action.

To get you going following the international break and For a coal fired restart of up to 20 shovels (points) straight into he chambers of 'puffing Billy' and to send you steaming up the league simply get within, and up to 10 puffs of the total number of times the station master (referee) will blow the Whistle and signal a foul.

Points awarded:

within 10 of the total=20 points

within 15 of the total=15 points

within 20 of the total 10 points

for example:

Last weeks game between Blackburn and Brentford resulted in 24 fouls in total (9 by Blackburn and 15 by Brentford)

What we need is the total fouls for all the games played Saturday 21st November (10 matches in total).

Sorry used mobile and it makes a mess of it. Hope it's clear enough. Just for the avoidance of doubt I don't think anyone will get double figures.

Bong!

 

Over to the millers Banter prediction league press conference...

Well, ladies and Gentlemen (hushing can be heard). Thank you. Thank you. The crowd is quieting down now...

Let me first say what a pleasure it is to be the spokesperson for the first ever Millers Banter Prediction League press conference. As you know the League...reporter: im just cutting in here and dont worry I will bring you right back to the action but while the formalities are gone through lets look at some texts.

Dave from Brinsworth: Its obviously quite exciting...

Dougie from Rawmarsh: Im gutted that im not in the league but it doenst mean I dont follow it each week. I just hope its about my favourite player, Sickly child.

sam, from Canklow: **** it!

Morris , from Moorgate: I dont know why they have to do press conferences. Its not necessary.

Joanne, from Greasbrough: My nan works in the office and she saw S8's, I8 BMW, in the car park...just sayiing.

 

..so, without (back to the broadcast) further ado, I would like to congratulate all the players for their professionalism over recent weeks.

so, its been approximately 27 weeks of toil and trouble and that 27 weeks when broken down (10 from last season) works out at approximately 4.500 guesses. In all that time we have never had 5 correct reults. We have had 3s and 4s and indeed this week we have had oneaday with a beautiful quadrick , but never ever 5!

...Today, I am the proud Father and I give you my Beautiful prodigy , my son, heir..., my kid!

yes! Mr Ridgeway Kid on only his 2nd outing has blown the record books wide open and ripped out the annuls of history and wrote in Blood his own Name.

5 wonderful and sublime predictions. Counting them and arranging them was like the sweetest dream and one where waking up changes nothing.

 

well done KID

You are an inspiration to us all.

 

Applause and whoops of joy!

camera pulls to one side and a crouched figure is seen by the doorway. His body is heaving with great gasps of emotion that go beyond his bodily ability to channel. The room notices and a reverent silence decends...slowly a sound like rushing wind is heard and a voice appears in the wilderness of words strangled by the power of emotion...Kid! Kid! Kid! one by one the sacred moment is marked by each worshiper until the sound in the room is a deafening respectful and joyous hum. Its like a saviour is born...

The electric equipment blows and a satellite goes out of orbit.

 

Welcome back folks. Im not going to add to that. I dont want to be accused of Blasphemy in the days and weeks to come.

 

Here are the results of the 17th Millers Banters prediction league of 2015-16

 

with only Fridays game to play between Hull v Derby here are the current standings. Please note, the Bonus results will be given separately after the results from the 11 fixtures already played .

But, with this weeks Bonus being Staggered everyone had a chance to put some much needed Bonus points on the Board. Special mention must go to Millmoor Magic, who correctly predicted the exact number of whistles stops at 235.

Here are the results of the Bonus feature.

Thank you for tuning in and dropping out.

 

League will be updated in the next 24 hours and please keep your eyes peeled for what promises to be a fiercely contested- there are some scores to be settled after this weeks whirl wind of ups and downs- week 18 of the Global phenomenon that is The Millers Banter Prediction League-sponsored by Bic Razors: your one stop razor for all your shaving needs.

N.B. No liability will be assumed for those who choose to use the BIC for anything other than one stroke per blade and for anything other than use on the face. You know who you are.

I am not normally one to clutch at straws or beg Ian but my scoring in your excellent league is so shocking that I have no real choice - my whistle stop prediction of 225 seems not to have been rewarded. Congratulations indeed to RK. Not bad at all for someone who modestly claims to know nothing about the game.
