Just sat down with my coffee this morning like always, fired up the sports app to check last night’s Ukrainian Premier League scores. Man, the standings are doing somersaults this week! Total mess compared to last Sunday. Grabbed my notebook right away – gotta document this chaos properly.
Tracking Down the Madness
First thing I did? Jotted down the old table from my notes. Scribbled it real messy on page 23 – Shakhtar Donetsk sitting pretty at the top, Dynamo Kyiv breathing down their neck. Dnipro-1 chilling in third. Standard stuff.
Then I pulled up three different apps on my phone. Cross-checked every single match result like some detective. Took forever ’cause one app showed Dnipro-1 lost, but another said draw! Nearly screamed at my screen. Finally checked the league’s own feed – yeah, they actually tied. Penciled that in hard.
The Big Surprises
Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Polissya Zhytomyr’s spot. Remember them? Total underdogs last month. Checked their last three games:
- Nailed a win against Rukh Lviv
- Scraped a draw against Chornomorets
- Smacked Kolos Kovalivka 2-0
Wild! They jumped three whole spots. Practically drew arrows all over my notebook page like a crazy person.
And Shakhtar? Absolute disaster week for them. Lost to Vorskla when nobody expected it. My coffee went cold while staring at that scoreline. Totally messed up my prediction sheets from last week.
Finishing the Puzzle
Spent another hour moving teams up/down in my physical league table chart. Used those cheap sticky notes – ten got crumpled ’cause Dynamo wouldn’t stick properly. Annoying as hell. Finally got the new order:
- Dynamo Kyiv (stole first place!)
- Shakhtar Donetsk (ouch, fell hard)
- Polissya (my new favorite underdog)
Took a photo of my messy notes for Instagram later. Looks like a toddler drew on it with crayon, but hey – that’s real tracking for ya. Probably should’ve just screenshot the app… but where’s the fun in that?
Why Bother Doing This?
Honestly? This table tracking habit started as a joke. Back in university, my roommate bet me Shakhtar would flop one season. Tracked every week manually just to rub it in his face when they won. Dude still owes me pizza money. Now it’s kinda therapeutic – something off-screen that doesn’t need Wi-Fi. Though this week’s nonsense almost made me chuck my notebook out the window.
