L13 Spring 2013: Week 1 Roundup

“Two Kinds Of Happiness”:
He may be getting his head baked off in record temperatures but it’s obviously not affecting his score predicting abilities. Paul Carter 36(5) is on his uppers Down Under winning the first cash prize of the season. Bonzer! #neighbours
“Hard To Explain”:
If you’re gonna fail you might as well fail in good company I suppose! Harry Birkner & Howard Thomas 9(0) pick up the first non-accolade of the season… #yowzers!
Correct Score of the Week:
Quite a few correct scores (especially a “Desmond”) knocking about… most popular score was Reading’s 2-1 win over Sunderland – 22 of you got that!
15 got the 0-3 at Stark’s Park and 10 got the 2-2 between Man City & Liverpool. Ten more got Wigan 2 Southampton 2…
6 got another 2-2(!), the one at London Road & six more got another two-two (!!), the one between Fleetwood & Bradford.
Dumas H (welcome!)/Mahli G/Felix H got Hartley & Poole’s 2 -1 win over Notts County & Ciaran Mc G (welcome back!)/Dave C/Stuart F got Ross County 2 Hearts 2. Daniel H & Steve T got Derby’s 3-0 win over The Terriers and Kate H & Matt G (welcome back!) got the only stalemate on offer at Loftus Road.
Paul C got Dundee Utd’s thumping of Rangers.
However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Stephen Peaston for his partisan inspired, Newcastle Utd 3 Chelsea 2.
Bet of the Week:
We had varying degrees of success with this last season where the weekly winners used the populist “Goal Rush” method (pick 3, 4 & 5 matches where both teams will hit the net) or the traditional 5 homes, 4 aways & 3 draws.
We’ll stick to them but this time round Frankie will pick a random number before the table is compiled and the person on that number will get the responsibility.
Remember you’re trying to win some money for yourself and put some money into an allotted spot prize position for a nice surprise at the end of the season.
We’ve set aside £3 a week from the entry fees to pay for this so let’s make sure we win it all back and then some!
Frankie selected No.71 this week, so Steve Meaton, you’re up first fella!

Table News, please be aware we may lose some, but we may also gain a few!
