Pred'n Lg - Play-off s/f results. Final matches by 12:00 Sunday 1st May

[Jago]

I shall draw a discreet veil over yesterday’s football proceedings (I couldn't stay for the presentations which sounded great).  But look on the bright side, it’s another opportunity to go and look at Enfield’s marvellous art deco café thing.  If that’s the sort of thing that floats your boat.   Anyway – I’ve got every faith in the boys blasting their way to the final and then onto the promised land. It's been a great season, whatever the outcome.

Down in the prediction league it was playoff semi-final week.  And one of those awkward moments when the final qualifier (Ozz in 7th) squeaked through against the highest placed qualifier (Lord Upminster in 4th).  Unfair you may opine, but hey, "that’s life" your Lordship.

The other semi was a bit of a stroll for Fat Tom.  So unlucky to Diamond Geezer who was most unfortunate to meet Jordan on one of his increasingly rare weeks of competence.

Also - it was nice, if rather confusing - to see Wivenhoe predicting.   I mean he's a frequent winner of the Fat Tom Alarm Clock, so it was a bit of a surprise for him to show up when he didn't actually have a match.  Anyroad, Wivvers banged in a fairly impressive 10 goals so is clearly warming up for next season’s tactical overhaul to avoid the wooden spoon. Again.

Before we go any further, please remember that the play-off winner is not guaranteed promotion unless we get a minimum of 21 teams next season.  Just thought I'd remind you now!  (Rule 3.5 innit).  Though this (denial of promotion) has never actually happened.

Here's the scoop ...

Play off semi finals, Spring 2021/22 season:

Next week : Play-off final by 12 noon on Sunday 1st May

Daley's Dream Team (Fat Tommy D)  v  Dazedandconfused (The Ozzmeister)

Please predict on this lot (spread over two days to add to the tedium tension).
Isthmian play-off is before extra time and penalties (though I reckon The Chins will win comfortably in normal time - you heard it here first). 
Nb. Feel free to wait until we know the playoff finalists before posting.

Yes I know, I know, your attention is on a different play-off final, somewhere in the real world.  But it still gives me great pleasure to update the missing prediction fixture in our other super-exciting play-off final.  Yes - it's THE CHINS v CHESHUNT.  (In case you weren't sure!)

Also - as the crowd at The Bridge is restricted and Fat Tom may know the final number, the attendance predication is switched to Ricay v Ebbsfleet, with Salford v Mansfield becoming the contingency game.

So now we have (by noon tomorrow):

Celtic v Rangers (12 noon)
West Ham v Arsenal
B. Monchengladbach v RB Lepizig
Hornchurch v Cheshunt (before Extra Time/Pens - not that we will need them)
Billlericay v Ebbsfleet
Attendance:

Contingency:
Salford City V Mansfield Town

Trust this makes sense.
See you Monday.
