L13 Winter 2007 : Week 12 – BotW

Remember DON’T send to the Guardian e-dress as I’m no longer here as of 15 minutes…

Into Week 12 and we’re £40 on the betting – here comes Mark Grey to save the day…

Try this accumulator for size: Chelsea beat West Ham, Wigan lose to City, Charlton beat Burnley, Hearts beaten by Celtic, Villa beaten by Arsenal, Liverpool beat Bolton, Man Utd beat Fulham

That lucky 7 comes in at around 30/1 – I’m not so sure about the Arsenal…

Good luck!
Pab

PS – don’t forget the poll!

Result: LOSE! -£45

L13 Winter 2007 : Week 11

I’ll keep it short n sweet as I’m broken after my trip to Seville via Madrid and several Casa de cerveza’s…

Winner :
Mark Grey 39 (5)
Loser :
Greg Edwards 11 (0)
Best Correct Score :
Bolton 1 Man Utd 0 (Mark Grey – he got Boro – Villa too!) Barrie R chipped in with Liverpool’s win at the Toon – 16 of you got Celtic and 18 got Rangers – it’s not fair…
Bet of the Week :
Man Yoo scuppered that one, so we’re £40 down. Betting expert Mark G could save the day at the 11th hour…
Table:
Jazz Sian has a 19 point lead and looks like he’ll win another title from Danny A – at the bottom Neil Birchall is making a late fightback and is only 5 points away for Danielle F.

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 11 – BotW

Anthony Yearwood is tasked with reducing the deficit this week…

Well, seeing as I have to bail you guys out, my BOTW… the “real” 2nd city quadruple… wins for Manchester City, Manchester United, Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers. Now, gimme my f*cking winnings!

As you can see he’s a charmer, that little four-timer will get you odds of around 3.5/1 so if it comes in it’ll make a dent into the £35 we’re down…

Week 11 results may be late as I’m off to Seveeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa with Mr Crisp to watch our foreign lads show them foreigners what being an English team is all about – yeah!

Have a good ’un!
Pab

Result: LOSE! -£40

Falling furthest this week is Andy Chesworth (again) down a whats-happened-to-my-football-knowledge?-is-it-cos-I’m concentrating-on-my-wedding-next-year-and-getting-distracted (oops, did I just say that out loud? again? it’s gonna happen you know! why do you think he’s saving like Scrooge at the moment??) drop of 10 places to 61st – fellow fallers are Tim B (-9), Stephen P (-8), Ben H (-9) and Olly O (-8)

L13 Winter 2007 : Week 10 Roundup

Chicken Stevens :
He was run to the wire but Anthony Yearwood 45 (6) saw off the challenge of Scott A, Jon T, Janine R and Dave C to win this weeks £20. What can I say? First time for aaaaaages that Sp*rs fan has celebrated winning something – spend your sheckels wisely m’boy!
Shaky :
All whole cluster of people limped in 16 (0/1) – you know who you are, you should be ashamed.
Correct Score of the Week:
15 (eek!) got Czech – Slovakia (can you see what I did there?), 19 (eeeekerer!) got Das Germans systematic 4-0 break-up of a small weaker nation, 6 (amazingly!) got Norn Iron’s thoroughly thrilling 2-1 win v Danmark and Martin S & Jon T got Greece 5 Malta 0. This week’s accolade though goes to ever absurd Scott Aslett for his Latvia 4 Liechtenstein 1 (more for the fact that the Liechs actually scored than anything else…)
Bet of the Week :
as dire as Frank & Stevie running around aimlessly on a pitch that Hackney Marshes would have been ashamed of – yep, we lost again and now down to the tune of 35 sheets – Anthony Y, your fellow PASers need you!

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 10 Update

Anthony Yearwood leads the pack on 36 points Serbia v Kazakhstan was called off due to heavy snowfall so doesn’t count (obviously!). 9 games to go on Wednesday Surely even McLaren can’t mess it up now….

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 10 – BotW

We’re £30 down but I’m excited by this one – we’re due a winner! Week 9 winner, Tim Birtwisle writes…

Bet of the week – 3 draws Scotland Italy, Israel Russia & Spain Sweden. You can always bump it up a little bit by betting on the usual losers to get beat – teams like Luxembourg, San Marino, The Faroes, England…

Odds are around 45/1 for the draw treble and if you add the “surely-nailed-on-losers” playing Latvia / Portugal / Holland / Serbia / Germany / Finland it’ll go up to around 105/1 – get on!

Result: LOSE! -£35


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 9 Roundup

iPhone :
Bet you thought you had a good week eh? Got around late 20’s early 30’s? Yeah me and the other 40 people I’m afraid – for once all the scores went with the form (bar the Championship cos it’s mental) so it was just a question of nailing the correct scores. Well one person who did was Tim Birtwisle 43 (6) who ran out a comfortable winner in the end thanks to Arsenal sloppiness at the end of last nights game. Old skool former Champion Tim might spend his winnings going back home to Sporston Green…
Two yoghurt pots & piece of string :
We all know people who love to talk don’t we – well I can’t wait for Dave Crisp 12 (0) to talk me through his one when we’re at the next Arsenal game…
Correct Score of the Week:
14 people simultaneously jumped up from their sofa when Shorey slotted home, 4 people got Plymouth while I waited in vain for Norwich to score, Julian F got the “most obvious 0-0 EVER!” at Bolton along with Matt H & Ben H, myself and Janine R reluctantly got Sp*rs 4-0, Howard T & Mark J B impressed even themselves with Everton’s draw at the Bridge, Howie T nailed Motherwell as well, Ben McK got Hull 3-0 and Stephen P got Charlton 3-0. Best score of the week (and some Jambos would argue, best of the season! But not me cos I’m Hibee!) goes to Paul Jenner for his Hearts 4 Aberdeen 1
Bet of the Week :
the most obvious 0-0 EVER! scuppered our bet so we’re now £30 down but have international specialist, Tim B to set us right (bet he puts England to win 2-0…)

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 9 – BotW

Not heard from Ben H (he said he was spending his winnings on fish, chips and mushy peas so he’s probably in hospital with an over eating disorder…) but Mark J B has come up with a “as safe as Everton winning in Europe” four timer…

Spurs, Arsenal, Bolton & Man Utd – a fiver on that will get back around £30, which is what we need to get back on an even keel…

Results might be late next week as I’m in London until Tuesday and as you know the computer type laptop type things have forgotten what Word & Excel are…

Result: LOSE! -£30
