Proper derby bruv…

“Well Done”:  It’s tough at the top. Well, aspiring to be at the top. For at least a week…

Thirteen hardy souls duked it out for this week’s spoils with their impressive 30 points-plus totals (yep, even I got carried along in the peloton!). Frankie F smashed home the last two predictions of the weekend to notch up 35 points, Simon Linds grabbed a 9 pointer on the way to 36 points and Gary B, forever the bridesmaid, had two last minute goals earning him 5 points on Monday as he landed 37 points!

All very nip & tuck, but lurking in the background, despite his lowly dwellings this season, we had a player who noticed Arsenal had developed a bit of a habit of stealing last-minute wins from under the noses of Burnley…

Dan Pelgrom 38 (5) has want-away-tight-circle-turning Alexis to thank for his pocketing of Week 9’s “Sonny” as a 92nd minute penalty was duly dispatched on Sunday afternoon – well done Dan, onwards & upwards eh?!

 

 

“Benzocaine”: So if it’s “tuff at the top”, can you imagine what it’s like at the bottom?!

Nineteen got 15 points or less with Savan A & Matt W just about scraping double figures albeit with no correct scores. Phew! That’s tough!!

Paul Vinson 9 (0) is feeling it this week….

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Is it me or is it getting a little bit easier to predict in the last few weeks?…most popular score was Norwich City’s 1-1 draw with PNE – 23 of us got that!

Eleven were all over the Scottish Prem 1-3 to the Dons

9 got the very annoying double last minute spoiling QPR 2 Brentford 2

Six got the dull-all at Tynecastle

6 more got the bore draw between Swansea & Bournemouth

Another six got the thrilling Hull 2 Bristol City 3

4 obviously guessed Lincoln would beat Port Vale 3-1

Simon Linds & Paul C made us all green by happening upon Reading 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Simon Lindsay (him again!) for his mind-the-gap inspired, Southampton 4 Everton 1!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 97 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Yep….we won!

Barnsley v Leeds (37.51%) – the Yorkshire derby didn’t go our way…

QPR v Brentford (37.51%) – “Never give up on a good thing…”

Reading v Sheff Wed (37.51%) – in like Flynn!

So, £9.18 bagged & now £16.73 on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th!

 

 

Table News:

“Stendhal Syndrome”: Scott Harrison stays top, stretching his lead to a big 22 points ahead of Danny N, who in turn is five points ahead of Ric P in third.

Kate S & Lee F crashed the Top Ten.

 

“Heel/Heal”: Dan Hogwood drops one place to the bottom, seven points behind Will O, who in turn is five points adrift of Ethan N…

 

 

“Divide & Conquer”: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 28 places, is Gary Blackburne  – honourable mentions go to Sam A (+23), Chris D (+22), Ryan G (+19), Pab (+16), Neil O (+16), Francesca F (+16) and Lee F (+15).

 

 

“Mother”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places, is Savan Arora  – dishonourable mentions go to Neil M (-21), Rowan M (-18), Rob C (-18), Paul V (-18), Alex R (-18), Mark F (-17), Norman L (-16), Dave N (-16) and Richard H (-15).

Alex Rossi now “gets” what North London is about…

“Happy Birthday”: Remember Mr C? Sure you do??! Y’know, that peroxide idiot in the rubbish MkII version of The Shamen.

Nah?

Well, he said “Es are good”. Remember now?

Actually, they’re not. All drugs are bad. “Just say no” kids!

If he’d said “Lees are good” though, he’d have a point this week…

Fourteen managed to score 30 points or more this week in a relatively predictable week – Debbie L & James L managed 38 points each – a fine effort in any week and it looked odds on like spoils shared (although i’d disown Rich L if I were youse…)

But, if it’s your birthday and you can call upon all the football sageness & savvy gathered over 70 years or so for one week’s predictions it would be a weekend to remember right??

Right!

Birthday boy Eddie Osborne 48 (8) obliterated the field to take this week’s “Mary Tyler” making him the oldest ever weekly winner – No. One. Came. Close…

Congrats Eddie – have a drink on us!

 

 

“I Could Be Happy”: In a week where thirty four people scored less than 20 points when they really should have done better, it was the “newbies” that suffered most!

Isaac A & Shaun T hung their collective heads in shame at a 11 (0).

Week 4 winner Andy Smith 10 (1)?

I can only hope it wasn’t your birthday mate…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Didn’t we do well…most popular score was QPR’s 1-2 defeat to Aston Villa– 19 of youse got that!

14 got the 3 goal demolition of Southampton

Fourteen more got the 1-3 Blades win over Burton Albion

Twelve got the Palace v Everton five point 2-2

7 nailed Hull 2 Ipswich 2

Five got the dull-all at Dens Park

4 got Sunderland’s “Desmond” with Millwall

Clare T, Arthur H & Tony D got the two-two in East Sussex. The wrong side of Sussex…

Paul V & Eddie O got the thrilling Man Utd 4 Newcastle Utd 1

Eddie O (again!) got Birmingham’s 1-0 win over Forest

Will O got the bore draw between Sheff Wed & Bristol City

Sam A somehow guessed PNE 0 Bolton 0

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Debbie Lee for her boing-boing-Pulis-out inspired, WBA 0 Chelsea 4!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 97 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Yep….

Birmingham v Nottm Forest (37.93%) – Forest really are rubbish ain’t they!

QPR v Villa (48.98%) – ugh!

Sheff Wed v Bristol City (40.23%) – spot on people! But not enough on its own…again!

So, still £0 on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd!

 

 

Table News:

“Pinky Blue”: Scott Harrison stays in top spot but now 14 points ahead of Danny A who in turn is three points ahead of Jack B in third.

Four crashed the Top Ten.

 

“Don’t Talk To Me About Love”: Dan Pelgrom drops one place to last place one point behind Dan H who in turn trails five points behind Isaac A…

 

“See Those Eyes”: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 52 places is Eddie Osborne  – honourable mentions go to Debbie L (+30), James L (+24), Neil C (+23), Mark S (+22) and Paul C (+16).

 

“Dead Pop Stars”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Julian Fernandez  – dishonourable mentions go to James C (-18), Jamie S (-17), Jazz S (-15), David G (-15) and Howard T (-14).

“………..”

“We Care A Lot”: In a week of remembrance, this PAS week will be remembered. Not quite an “International Week”, coupled with a deep delve into the lower leagues, turned everything a bit upside down. So upside down in fact, that our resident Aussie stopped licking his lips at the prospect of the Ashes, dosed up on Vegemite and perked up to the realisation that the fixtures resembled something akin to A-League quality (George, are you sick of these lame, tired, sweeping generalisations? I apologise, but stick another prawn on the bar-b will ya…y’little ripper!).

5 correct scores amounting to 25 points in a week where only 14 people scored 20 points or more, the weekly prize looked like it was heading Down Under to the aforementioned George T.

However, deep into injury time in deepest Gloucestershire, Cheltenham’s Will Boyle wheeled away in celebration after equalising in the 97th minute for a 2-2 draw with high flying Luton.

 

Steve Meaton 28 (5) must have thought it was Christmas already (actually, have you seen the shops & TV?) as that goal gave him the 5 points he needed to scoop this week’s “Demi” AND Portsmouth won away!

Congrats Steve, that’ll stand you in good stead next time you’re in the Milton Arms…Play Up!

 

 

“Midlife Crisis”: Remember this! I think this is a record-breaking week! (Dan/Dave can you check the data vaults, the ones that include the 1989 photcopied handwritten scoresheets…)

Twenty two players returned a score of 10 points or less.

 

Sam A got 6…

Ben McK got 4…

 

Neil Osborne got 3 (0) 

You will be remembered.

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

For once I did ok, but is “ok” in the worst week “ok”? – most popular score was Crawley’s 1-1 draw with Forest Green Rovers – 20 of youse got that!

 

Eight got the five point 2-2 at Cheltenham

4 just knew Norn Iron wouldn’t score against Switzerland for a 0-0 2nd leg decider

Neil T, Jason M & Richard H got the bore draw between Greece & Croatia

El Presidente, Martin S & David G got the dull-all in Copenhagen

Mark S & Danny N nailed AFC Wimbledon 2 Peterborough 2

Moi (again!) & Julian F got Cambridge 0 Accrington 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there. Not many to be fair, but still…

Neil C believed in Switzerland. A 0-1 kinda belief…

Steve M boxed off the thrilling Coventry 0 Mansfield 1

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stephen Peaston for his “that’s two weeks on the bounce now!”, Croatia 4 Greece 1!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 97 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Yep….

Blackpool v Portsmouth (43.90%) – was looking good until an 86th minute away winner

Carlisle v Yeovil (35.37%) – ummmmmmm, 4-0?!!

Crawley v Forest Green (32.93%) – spot on people! But not enough on its own…

 

So, still £0 on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th!

 

 

Table News:

“Epic”: Scott Harrison moves up one place to take top spot 1 point ahead of Matt W who in turn is one point ahead of Danny A in third.

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

“Everythings Ruined”: Dan Hogwood is still anchored to the bottom but now only one point behind Dan P who in turn trails one point behind Will O…

 

“A Small Victory”: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 23 places is Steve Meaton  – honourable mentions go to Jason M (+21), Martin S (+19), Paul S (+18), Arthur H (+14), Stephen P (+14) and Tony M (+14).

 

“Smaller & Smaller”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 23 places is Neil Osborne  – dishonourable mentions go to Ryan G (-19), Ben McK (-16), Neil C (-16), Sam A (-15), John J (-14) and Andy F (-12).

Gold, always believe in your soul…

 

 

“Digging Your Scene”: I’ll cut to the chase this week (a bit like City on Sunday).

Question: Who’s forever blowing doubles (apart from Hearts in 1986)?

Jack B – that’s who!

Looking for a very rare back-to-back weekly double, Mr B must have sat back & relaxed when City stopped toying with Arsenal & decided they only wanted 3 goals this week.

“Ahhhhh, 5 late Sunday points in the bag to take my lead to six points with 3 games left…Dad! Get us a beer!” he probably didn’t think or say.

Remember when Tom Cleverley played for England? Oh, how we laughed! Lemme guess, Jordan Henderson next eh? Hahahaha…

The not-so-clever Tom had our Jack anything but having a bubble as Everton’s mighty fine Unsworth substitution-inspired comeback remained intacto after 102 long minutes.

I for one did a little jig as my well thought out (desperation? moi?) 3-2 scoreline came in – 9 points, whoooooo! Go me!

Those 9 points meant even more to the original cockney sparra Matt Worsfold 35 (4) who stole in by one point thanks to Leighton Baines 12 yard precision.

Another “Dudley” in the bank to add to his Week 1 win then – double bubble!

Go on Maffew, give it to Slaven….actually, hold on, save it for Moyesy, he’ll be going soon too…

 

 

“It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way”: In a weird week where big point correct scores were in abundance but only 7 players scored 30 points, the eighteen who chalked up 15 points or less could probably feel a little more at ease.

Well, maybe not Neil T, Martin S & Dan P who got zero correct scores.

And definitely maybe not Gareth Morgan 9 (0) who limped home like he’d been exhausted with excitement & partying hard after seeing his club record their best win ever in the week. Tch….

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

A bumper week – most popular score was Citeh’s 3-1 win over The Arse – 28 of youse got that!

14 got Rangers’ 3 goal demolition of Partick

Six nailed Stoke 2 Leicester 2

6 more got on St Johnstone 0 Celtic 4

Four made us all green by happening upon Boreham Wood 2-1 Blackpool

4 more the nabbed the five point 2-2 that was Hamilton v Aberdeen

Olly O, Mark S & Chris D believed in Liverpool. A 1-4 kinda belief…

Isaac A & Rich H got Ipswich 3 Preston 0

Rich L & Darren McC got the 3-1 Bees win over the Peacocks

Frankie F & David G obviously guessed Sheff U would beat Hull 4-1

Matt W & Yours Truly had the thrilling Everton 3 Watford 2

Gary B saw his typo come good on the game at Hearts

Jazz S got the correctly over-hyped 1-0 at Wem-ber-lee

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Lewis Marriott for his “i’m down with a brewery town”, Millwall 0 Burton 1!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 97 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Lost. Again…

Ipswich v PNE (44.05%) – 3-0??! Eh?!

Chelsea v Man Utd (50%) – the late late onslaught just wasn’t enough…

Huddersfield v WBA (52.38%) – looked nailed on after the sending off didn’t it…

So, no £££ on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th then…

 

 

Table News:

 

“The Day After You (Celebrate)”: Matt Worsfold moves up 5 places to top spot 3 points ahead of Scott H who in turn is two points ahead of Danny A in third.

 

Lee F crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Wait”: Dan Hogwood remains stuck to the bottom one point behind Dan P who in turn is 1 point off Sam C.
