... my beautiful friends! The end.

Final Week Results:

Blackburn 0 LCFC 1 [Spot on 1 Correct 4: 'Mystic' kp (ahem) 5 Brucie Forsyth bonus points; CharleyFarley, Daggers, Prof & tudor 3 BF points]

Millwall 2 Oxford 0 [Spot on 6 Correct 8: CharleyFarley, CityFox, Daggers, David_Nish, Glos & Uttoxfox 5 BF points]

Portsmouth 1 Birmingham 1 [Spot on 3 Correct 1: Bowden, Daggers & David_Nish 5 BF points; Thorney 3 BF points]

Sheffield Wednesday 2 West Brom 1 [Spot on 0 Correct 3: Daggers, David_Nish & tudor 3 BF points]

By way of reminder of the very final totting up of scores, here's the additional points that were available as the Compo reached its gripping denouement:

"In a final attempt to generate inclusive incentives for the final fixtures further Brucie Hornsby bonuses will be available (i.e. in addition to the usual point scoring) as follows:

a) 20 points for getting 4 results correct and/or spot on
b) 15 points for getting 3 results correct and/or spot on
c) 10 points for the most 'off the wall' spot on score (should there be one!) in the opinion of an expert panel of judges i.e. me

The predictions for places 19 to 23 may be decisive, or they may not. Beyond exciting eh? (No. Ed)"

Final Week Scores (using the very latest AI technology!):

1. Daggers 49 [24 points for results + 20 points (for 2 spot on + 2 correct) + 5 points for position 19 -23]
2. David_Nish 40 [20 + 15 + 5]
3. bannedontherun 21 [1 + 0 + 20]
4. Mystic kp 19 [9 + 0 + 0 + 10 (See point c) above: I accept some may question my impartiality in this award but bollocks to that! The pills still work!]
5. CharleyFarley 17 [12 + 0 + 5] Well remembered me duck!
6. Bluekite9 11 [1 + 0 + 10]
7. Thorney 10 [5 + 0 + 5]
8. Bowdenfox 9 [9 + 0 + 0]
9. CityFox 8 [8 + 0 + 0] Fading now...
9. glos 8 [8 + 0 + 0] "F**k me!"
9. tudor 8 [8 +0 + 0] Nice try but no cigar!
9. Uttoxfox 8 [8 + 0 + 0]
13. Prof 5 [5 + 0 + 0]
14. channy 1 [1 + 0 + 0]
14. shane 1 [1 + 0 + 0] "Just a pint"
14. shropie_blue 1 [1 + 0 + 0]
17. Bittfox 0 [Er... 0 + 0 + 0]

The inclusion BF bonus clause was certainly exploited big time by Daggers and almost as much by Mr Nish. bannedontherun's forecast of four of the correct places between 19 and 23 was arguably even more impressive.

Final Table:

1. bannedontherun 67 £30 winner
2. Daggers 63 £10 winner
3. David_Nish 61 £5 winner
4. 'Mystic' kp 47
5. CityFox 46
6. Bluekite9 44
7. Bowdenfox 43
8. Uttoxfox 37
9. shropie_blue 36
10. CharleyFarley 35
11. shane 34
12. Sarge 31
13. glos 25
14. Bittfox 24
15. Thorney 23
16. tudor 20
17. Prof 18
18. channy 17 £10 winner
19. Lonesome Crow 16

Many congratulations to bannedontherun who thoroughly deserves his top spot for consistent scoring throughout the 8 weeks of what began as the Squeaky Bum Compo. Very well done too to Daggers and David_Nish for coming up so spectacularly from the rear (oo er missus) at the death. Mr Nish must be kicking himself as he didn't enter on two of the weeks. Silly Billy!

And the mystery prize? A tenner goes to channy (the Roof's Poet Laureate) for entering every week and winning the Jordan Ayew Trophy for participating with minimal effect. Respect me duck!

Let me know how I can get your prizes to you chaps. Feel free to nominate a charity in lieu. The Compo was only meant to be a bit of fun and a diversion from all the understandable doom and gloom hereabouts.

Thanks to everyone who took part. Enjoy your summer y'all and keep smiling! See you at Cambridge, Mansfield, Orient etc next season.

All the best,

Ooh I tried to kick myself but missed after so many years of watching Daka.
Thank you KP for the diversion. Happy for my prize to be handed in cash to any Big Issue seller or disreputable looking beggar of your choice x
 
Well done Kev, a most impressive effort. Should feature on your CV.
Posts like this are why I love Bentley's. I do hope that the Board does not go the way of my beloved team. Thank goodness Mac is in charge and not Rudkin. And can find a buyer if it came to that
 
Well done for arranging that Kev. I thought for a period that I was in with a shout but then common sense prevailed, resulting in the ultimate mid-table respectability. My fame and fortune will need to wait for another year.

You daft beggar! Speaking of which, I hope you don't mind that I've selected a reputable(-ish ;)) mendicant to benefit from your kindly gesture. Along with bannedontherun and Daggers I'll be sending your winnings to Mac to help keep the good ship HMS Bentleys sailing its unique place in the seven seas of all matters Leicester City.

I'll miss Daka me. Always played with a smile on his face. Who wouldn't for being paid stupid money for being crap?
 
Many thanks KP.

Please donate my winnings to Mac's fighting fund to keep the board running.

Well done again me duck and thanks very much for the donation to Mac's peace and love fund.

I don't think we've ever met but I'd be very happy to buy you a pint should our paths cross next season.

I last went to a game at Southampton away in 2017 just before emigrating. We were pisspoor by standards of the day.

Thanks for the offer. Maybe if the club do a preseason tour of Sardinia...

Thanks a lot Elmet. Much appreciated. I've always tried to bring an optimistic and upbeat contribution hereabouts but I'm no KPFC fanatic and have always kept our club's fortunes in relative perspective.

A shame you didn't join in with the Compo. I'd hoped a few more would have done so too as a harmless diversion from the understandable doom and gloom.

Hopefully see you at Huddersfield again or any of those other lovely places oop North next season.

Thanks for joining in me duck. I hope I won't be starting a similar Squeaky Bum Compo next season!

Fuuucchs out!!
 
Mid-table mediocrity for both me and that well-known hater of ‘poofs and foreigners.’

Thanks, Kev, for running this and for the generous prizes.

See you there then (y) I've never been but all the reports I hear are that it's a lovely island.

Thanks Kev sorry just could not bring myself to join I am useless at this sort of thing. But you should be proud of the number who did participate could have been in single figures.
Yes being able to get to so many more fixtures is one good thing about next season. Huddersfield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Blackpool etc. Looking forward to seeing the Pork pie hat again. Cheers and enjoy the summer.

It's far from an exact science Elmet so you'd have had as good a shout as anyone else.

Have a good summer yourself and hopefully catch up with you somewhere oop north next season.
