The UCPL Lounge - Season 4

First topic message reminder :



This is the place for all your UCPL related gossip, chat, banter, complaints and abuse.

With over 70 40 participants expected for Season 4 I will need all the room available on the thread for everybody's predictions.

Time was against me, I know how you people get if the results aren't posted promptly.

rowley wrote:Congratulations Tina, a very impressive start, obviously has to be mitigated by the fact that were it not for the lack of participants you would be in the championship rather than with the big boys but an impressive start all the same.

Thanks jeffrey. You're damning me with faint praise, but praise nonetheless.

I can only beat what's put in front of me.

It was only ever Coxy and PBF who complained about that, wasn't it? That says more about them pair of helmets than anything else.

I'm utilising the rope-a-dope.

He said he was taking a break but looks like he'll still be predicting.

Coxy got a credible 12 points from the first week, so I don't think he has gone. I'm sure Union knows more than me ... probably on everything, but specifically on this topic!

alma wrote:Has Coxy gone? Good riddance I say

On the back of England's poor showing in the first cricket test is possible he has been put on an emergency flight to the UAE for some coaching duties.

alma wrote:Has Coxy gone? Good riddance I say

I think he has flown out to the Middle-East to help the England batsmen combat the Pakistan spinners.

Damn your eyes rottley.

I only know as much as anyone else...

Coxy

That was January 15th.

Hope everything is ok with the lad.

Off to a flying start here, go me! And to think I drew a blank at the end of last season when I only needed a few points to win it.

Stilll, good job I don't dwell on these things.

alma wrote:King monkey, how are the rehearsals for the reunion gigs coming along?

Took me a while that one Alma.

Ha! Very good thanks. Although, between you and me *eyes shift from side to side* *lowers voice* the new stuff is utter dross but everyone will buy it anyway.

It's great to see Adam struggling, knew the first season was a complete fluke!!!!

Starting to already shape up as a close but no cigar season for me then.

first time ive ever got off to a good start, lets hope it continues

Great start c&r, all 5 winners and a PotW award to boot!

cheers mate, second potw award need another two to catch knowsit total though

Do I not get joint predictor of the week, after a life of failure I was ready to cover myself in glory!

Seeing some of the smart alec predictions that go on ("whatever XXX says", "all to draw except XXX on EKO", "everyone on the left by UD") I would like to propose Union Crane as a modern day saint for having the patience to run four seasons of this league. Despite the best efforts of a non-select few, I still enjoy researching the fighters and making predictions that are normally wide of the mark, but occasionally hitting the bulls eye.

For Union!!!

I second that. I give him some friendly stick, but now he has got his ego back under control, he is far more approachable.

Big fan of Union's work and he deserves a pat on the back.

You deride me now, but you shall eat your words when I reign as the supreme victor of St. Union's final season in command.

Actuallly, I always deride you. This isn't a new thing!!

Union whats a eko and lko for a eight rounder again?

Is it 1-3 4-8 or 1-4 5-8? Got three results spot on so far, chance of a another potw award depending on the boytov result

Has to be 1-4 for an eko, as this gives a 4 4 split. Anything else doesn't make sense

Yeah That does make more sense, just missed out on 4 spot on results then. I had lko

4) Mind the windows Tino. (30 pts)
= 32) rowley (20 pts)

Well done Tina

Thanks jeff. Very gracious of you.

Still got relegated last time out

Just to confirm the split -

12 rounds : 1-6 / 7-12

10 rounds : 1-5 / 6-10

8 rounds : 1-4 / 5-8

6 rounds : 1-3 / 4-6

Eric Esch fights : 1-2 / 3-4

Do you see a 'Championship' this year?

No. Keep it shut, child.

Looks like Coxy has gone fishing. I think that particular carp should stay at the bottom of the river and not give him the satisfaction.

As long as you understand that particular chance is akin to Bolton getting relegated and then being allowed to stay and mix it with the big boys in the premier league.

Relegation would make me feel like that as well

Better than expected. 6th in the league which is pretty decent. Ducked out of the FA cup at the weekend though, not happy about that. Can't complain, had some pretty good days out travelling across the country to watch them.

That one has come back down with snow on, Tino.

Not really. Just trying to do my bit to make the board more macho...

Indeed. I thought it was some of my finest work as well.

Good news for boxing fans worldwide - Mike Tyson has been bestowed the honour of being inducted into the WWE hall of fame this coming April.

I'm sure that will brighten everyone's dreary Tuesday morning no end.

sodhat, old buddy, did you find that out by looking for Mike Tyson stories or looking at WWE stories?

I get the feeling I'm in a no win situation with my answer.

But, courtesy of WWE.com:

Boxing legend and pop culture icon "Iron" Mike Tyson will be inducted into the WWE's 2012 Hall of Fame class on March 31 in Miami, WWE announced to major media markets throughout the nation Monday. Among the most decorated pugilists in history, Tyson established his place in WWE lore in 1998 when he served as a special "outside enforcer" for the WWE Championship main event of WrestleMania XIV between Shawn Michaels and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

I follow Mike Tyson on Twitter though. He isn't as angry and aggressive as I'd hoped, he just seems at peace and thankful. Though admittedly good for him, is exactly the opposite of why I followed him.

into the WWE hall of fame for one event??? they cant be that desperate surely

They want anyone in there who doesn't wear spandex.

poor rowley
