@Nogbad the Bad Noggers, thanks for the nudge on this - far from worth the wait I'm afraid - a paltry 21 for me! Including an excruciating 6/30 in our very own City section. Places me firmly in the lower echelons of the group and dare we say verging on humiliation for a former champ!

Funny how things pan out over a season and always good to look back on last summer's expectations.

Thanks as always for your efforts setting this up. Looking forward to the next instalment

Looks like the vast majority of results that are going to come in are in now.

If anyone still intends to send in their score please do so by Wednesday when the Mildly Interesting Champ for 2022/23 will be crowned.

[Colemanballs]

I make mine 26. Reasonably happy with that.

33 is mega. Well deserved crown coming your way I expect!

[Nogbad the Bad]

A year of unprecedented high scores has produced an outstanding winner of the Mildly Interesting competition.

The prestige, the glory, and the crown go decisively to @hinsleburg, scorer of a remarkable 33 points to deservedly become the Mildly Interesting Champion for 2022/23.

Congratulations to hinsleburg who joins previous winners The Enormous Turnip, Ziderheadarmy, joint winners Alex_BCFC, Lrrr, RedM & CheddarReds, and last year's Champ Nogbad the Bad on the Mildly Interesting Champions roll of honour!

Look out for the new comp. for 23/24 to come well in time for the new season, although will leave it late so we all have as much information as possible re. squads etc. to go on when making our predictions.

It's been notable that a number of prominent OTIB posters who have never entered the comp. have been regularly following the thread - perhaps 23/24 will be the year they take the plunge?
