L13 Spring 2006 : Week 5 – Review

Written by

Englands New Kit :
He may be a loser in love but the boy from “Heartbreak High”, Mark Fawke 44(7) scored plenty in Week 5. £20 then for a good few hours trawling the internet for that *special* girl or maybe purchase of a new fleece to wear. You decide Drazic!
Wigan:
He’s from Wigan, probably supports them, might have gone to Cardiff but definitely feels a lost worse after the “horse-less drubbing” – hang your blue-and-white-comedy-hatted-head in shame Neil Birchall 12(0) – that’ll teach you to “ole” me after the semi-final!
Correct Score of the Week:
Four of you got the Blackburn debacle correct and Karl C / Jamie S we’re off to a flyer on Friday thanks to Huddersfield’s late comeback to 2-2 with Swansea. No one got a correct score that carried bonus points, so that left my Gretna 1 St Mirren 0 prediction as the stand alone best score. I thank you.
Bet of the Week :
We’re now £20 down as Jazz S was scuppered by QPR and Charlton. Next up is Mark F – we need a rezzer son!

Table News…

Top Board:
Mark F moves up 2 places to open up an 8 point gap at the top from Jazz S.
Dead In The Water:
Greg E slips down 3 places to rock bottom but only 2 correct scores behind the hapless Neil B. Both are 5 points behind Gary B.
Spring Board:
Danny A goes up 13 places to 20th, others upwardly mobile are Neil M to 10th (+6), Tapiwa M / Andy B to 17th / 18th (+7) respectively and your host to 24th (+6)
Belly Flop:
Jon T falls 10 places to 25th and others not really worth a mention are Neil T to 26th (-9), Jamie S to 28th (-6) and Stephen P to 29th (-8)
Gala Rosettes:
Clare N on 11th (-3), Ben H on 23rd (+1) and Julian F on 30th (+2)

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week : How can last week’s worst PASer win £200 on the Chelsea – Barca game on Wednesday? It’s not fair…

Spring Cup 2006 : Quarter Final Draw

Written by

Like art imitating real life, the tie of the round is a Geordie who has won nothing up against last years League champ…!

Clare Nevin   v Stephen Peaston
Jazz Sian     v Simon Lindquist
Mark Fawke    v Dan Bushell
Jamie Sellers v Simon Schofield

Not a clue when these ties will take place as the real QF’s seem to be taking place midweek this year – bizarre! It will be around Week 8 or Week 9…

Cheers,
Pab

PS – I’ve just sent over the updated Week 5 scoresheet so give him a chance to upload it – if you’ve been quick of the mark, the one that’s got Spurs – Wigan, West Ham – Man U on it is wrong! You want the one with Match 30 reading Man Utd v Wigan (Carling Cup Final)

Spring 2006 : Cup & L13 Week 4 – Roundup

Written by

Colchester Balloons:
In a week when the big hitters came out to play, the predicting machine that is Jazz Sian 47 (6) reared his money winning head and ran off with another £20 weekly win. There are some people who think Jazz is a pseudonym of mine and I cheat money from the hordes every season. I may have to start doing this in future just to stop him winning… Well done Jazz, shame Sp*rs only drew though eh?!
Smudgers Ankle:
Going to the New Den is painful in itself. Seeing your team concede a last minute goal just rubs it in. Getting 14 (0) Gary Blackburne, was surely too much???!
Correct Score of the Week:
Many were on the Charlton & Hearts gravy trains, Jamie S and Steve T saw Joe Cole coming and Jazz S fluked a Plymouth 3-1 (they never score three!). This weeks title, and season best so far, goes to Mark Fawke for his Luton 3 Reading 2 prediction, beating his own previous best Colchester – Derby selection
Bet of the Week:
It was all looking spot on for some money and up stepped the Pie Eaters at T*tt*nh*m – worth every penny in my book! We’re now £15 down and relying on Jazz S to share his predicting acumen… Come on, you owe us!
Cup Update:
Humdinger of a 5th round! Stephen P forgot to play a joker, scored 21 points and still went through – Michelle F’s 39 point haul ran into Jazz S and Mark F can thank his Toon joker for edging him past his good friend Will O in the Croydon derby by 41-40!

Draw for Quarter Finals will take place very soon on Five Live…

Table News:

Top:
Jazz Sian (+5) opens up a 9 point gap over 2nd placed Steve T
Bottom:
Gary Blackburne (-5) is 5 points adrift of Danny A
Climbing:
Michelle Fernandez (good girl!) is this weeks hihest climber up 17 places to 11th – mentions to Clare N (+7 to 8th), Simon L (+11 to 19th), Jamie S (+10 to 22nd) and Andy B (+9 and off the bottom to 25th)
Falling:
As bad as her daughter is good, Margaret Ashworth is the biggest faller down 10 to 26th – of note, Karl C (-5 and off the top to 6th), Richard L (-7 to 14th), Mindy N (-5 to 27th), Julian F (-9 to 32nd)
Spot Prizers:
Michelle F on 11th / Tapiwa M on 23rd / me on 30th (boooo!)

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 3 – Roundup

Written by

Joey’s Right Boot :
Not only did he predict it, I suspect he was actually there! Karl Chartres 45 (6) must have been bouncing when the whistle blew at Eastlands on Sunday as it secured him a fifth of his weekly winning points – are we mostly booing or cheering Mr Barton this week??! £20 then Karl – Chelle said she’ll spend it on drink on your “date” tonight…
Bryan Robson’s Team:
Hanging their head in shame this week is Greg Edwards 13(0). Darryl M, you weren’t much better…
Correct Score of the Week:
Cancelling out Karl C’s Man City 3-2 was Clare N, Pam D and Simon L both got the Hammers score right and loads got Man U as usual. This weeks honour goes to Matt Worsfold for his Cardiff 3 Stoke 0 prediction
Bet of the Week :
So much for the Worsfold Fourfold Matt! We are now £10 down for the season – Karl C you’re up next…
Table News:
It’ll be up on the webpage very soon, we have a new leader…

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week : Mr 2-0 is 16 places above me…

Sorry Punters – BOTW Is Sol Campbell getting lost hopelessly chasing a couple of Irons round North London, oh no that happened the other week Who's the Predictascorer????? Bobby Zamora!!!!!!!

Right this week is the Worsfold Four-fold!

Lady Gadiver on Fulham, Cardiff, Hull and Tottingham to all win.

Get On It!

Cheers,
Pab

Steve T or Matt W haven’t come back with a Bet Of The Week, so we’ll go with Mr 2-0 who reckons the Arse will beat Bolton by said score @ odds of around 11/2

Have a good weekend!,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 6 – Review

Written by

Aaron Lennon :
One of the all time top scores recorded this week by a man who (I think) holds the actual record. My lovely Sp*rs friend, John Williamson 54 (8), collects £20 to maybe contribute to the “can we have our motto back” fund at Wh*te H*rt L*ne… Well done Johnny boy – top score!
Didier Drogba :
For the 2nd time this season Andy Bowkett 12 (0) is out pointed by everyone including a miserable Mr 2-0.
Correct Score of the Week:
Far too many got Celtic, Hibs and amazingly, Sp*rs. Steve P and Simon S got the Toon correct but this weeks honour goes to Will Oppong for his Burnley 0 Reading 3 prediction.
Bet of the Week :
Henry obliged, Nolan had one chalked off and Rooney was determined not to score last night… We failed again and are now £25 down. John W, we need your help!

Table News…

Chelsea:
Jazz Sian moves ominously up 1 place to top spot with a 3 point gap to boot
Sunderland:
Our resident Wiganer, Neil Birchall, must be feeling a bit like Pascal Gloves as he slips 1 place to bottom, 1 point behind Greg E
Newcastle:
Stephen P is the highest climber this week, up a whopping 18 places to 11th – other acheivers of note are John W in 6th (+8), Jamie S in 12th (+16), El Presisente in 15th (+9), Margaret A in 16th (+15) and Julian F in 20th (+10)
Wigan:
A joint effort in falling the furthest from Darryl M / Tapiwa m / Andy B all down 11 places to 26th / 28th / 29th respectively – other non acheivers are Michelle F in 17th (-9), Mr 2-0 in 23rd (-10), Pam D in 24th (-8) and Mindy N in 31st (-9) Intertoto Cup: Sitting on a cash prize spot are Stephen P (11th), Mr 2-0 (23rd) and Dan McGowan (30th)

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week : Wanna be the first recipient of the PAS Trophy? It’s nice, sliver and not unlike a FA Cup moneybox – win this season’s title and it’s yours until the next champion comes along! Upon receipt you are obliged to send over a photo with the Cup so we can start building our Hall of Fame. Yours truly will be the first featured on said site soon – I won a medal for winning the Euro 92 title…

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 2 – Roundup

Written by

Hibees :
It’s never happened before and we had to dig out archive rules to make a decision on this too! Whoooooooo! Exciting! Two people didn’t send scores in for whatever reason, actually, while we’re here, does anyone know Steve Tindall? please get in touch! Anyway, as you may have noticed there were loads of 2-0’s this week, so many in fact, that Mr 2-0 35(7) won the week! The booty is shared with the lucky non-entrants however, so, Matt Worsfold & Steve Tindall will each receive £6.67 each and Mr 2-0’s cut (the devilish £6.66) will rollover Lotto stylee to next weeks weekly prize – all to play for then!
Pope O’Rangers:
A bit like getting thrashed at home in the Cup without actually having to run around for 90 minutes to get humiliated – Andy Bowkett is this weeks doughnut with a score of 10(0)
Correct Score of the Week:
Four got Hearts, three got Sp*rs (Neil m / Simon S / Pam D) and two (gutted) people got Man Utd 4 Fulham 2. So, John W and Richard L cancel each other out to leave Mark F with the best correct score so far….
Bet of the Week :
Now, the only reason I didn’t get on this was due to the muvver of all hangovers (a top night out with our current League Champion, the delightful Clare N and her beau, Neil T) and pure laziness (think of that Charlatans song…). Just as well, cos Dave N missed out on a bumper payday all because the perrenial coupon busters, Wolves, failed to win again – booooo! Going into Week 3 we’re £5 down – Matt W and Steve T you’re up next. I did ask Mr 2-0 but he just said “put 2-0 for everything…”

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 2 – BotW

Hola!

I'll be sending my scores round at about 5.30pm… snowed under here!

See below on how to present your “bet of the week&8221; – whether or not it comes in is your five pound dilemma – good luck!

Over to Dave N….

I've attached my predictions for this week, and here goes my attempt at bringing Ladbrokes to their knees:

  1. Kop out bet

    If anyone doesn't trust my judgement (who'd blame 'em) then my suggestion is to stick 3 lucky dips on the Euro lottery tonight.

    I'll expect a significant kickback if anyone wins the jackpot tho. :-)

    Odds that follow are from ladbrokes.com….

  2. 6 Selection/Accumulator @ £5

    OK, if you're still reading then you're probably Jon Tofeili and you'll bet on cockroach racing so you'll have no problem chucking a fiver on these dodgy results:

    Birmingham vs Arsenal
    Selection: Arsenal@10/11
    Manchester Utd vs Fulham
    Selection: Manchester Utd@1/4
    Leicester vs Wolves
    Selection: Wolves@5/4
    Leeds vs QPR
    Selection: Leeds@4/7
    Crewe vs Reading
    Selection: Reading@4/9
    Newcastle vs Portsmouth
    Selection: Newcastle@8/11

    Accumulator Potential Return: £105.26

  3. 7 Selection/Accumulator @ £5

    If that wasn't enough, I thought it only fair to involve the Mackems in this for a laugh, so take the above plus this:

    West Ham vs Sunderland
    Selection: West Ham@1/2

    Accumulator Potential Return: £157.88

  4. 7 Selection/sixfold @ £3.50

    Not as good a return, but if you stick a sixfold from all 7 games from bet (3) above:

    Sixfolds from 7 = Potential Return: £68.56

Before anyone asks, yes I am indecisive, yes I do analyse this $hit far too much, and no I'd never be happy with any of the above bets.

My fiver is on bet (2), plus the cheeky lucky dips on the lottery, just can't help myself.

Have a good weekend, Dave

Result: LOSER!
