Week 1 of the playoffs involved 2 matches: MCM Hoop v ranger-boy and LurkR v jrperry1882.
In the first match MCM Hoop had Sunderland and Crystal Palace. Both won, giving MCM Hoop 3 points. ranger-boy had Millwall who won and Bristol City who lost at Watford. So 1 point, meaning that MCM Hoop goes through.
In the second match LurkR had Sunderland and Brighton, and scored 3 points for 2 wins. jrperry1882 matched this with wins for Sunderland and Crystal Palace. So it went to goal difference. There were 6 home wins in our set of 10. LurkR was 2 out with 4 and jrperry1882 was 3 out with 3. So LurkR squeezes through by the narrowest of margins. This is particularly harsh on jrperry1882 who would have won if we'd got as far as the number of away wins.
Congratulations to MCM Hoop and LurkR who go through to week 2, where they will face jortja and myself.
