Remember kids, “just say no…”
“It’s Yer Money I’m After, Baby”: So for me, it was a ridiculous week for football score predicting. Turns out it’s me who’s ridiculous…
A whopping 36 players amassed twenty-five points or more this week (“hi-five” emoji) and 18 of those went on to push through 30 points or more (“applause” emoji)
Three intrepids crossed the hallowed forty point mark, all benefitting from 92nd & 94th minute goals in the Fleetwood & Man City games respectively (“envy face” emoji)
Tony M & Ryan G didn’t see the Ipswich Town 92nd equaliser though.
In a Predict-A-Score PR faux-pas (see what I did there?), Dan Hogwood 44 (7) sneaked past the other two to steal away the £20 weekly prize.
“Our Head of Backend Score Compiling in no way abused his position or breached any PAS rules” said our imaginary Communications Manager (“fuming swearing face” emoji/”rolls eyes” emoji/”it’s a fix face” emoji).
“Don’t Let Me Down, Gently”: Back in the real world, 26 of us couldn’t even reach the 20 point mark this week.
Six got ten or fewer points…
Five didn’t even manage a correct score.
One didn’t even get to double figures.
Will Oppong 9 (0) has just applied for the intern role in our Backend Score Compiling Dept….
Correct Score of the Week:
I’m devoid of words…most popular score was Palace’s 0-2 win at Doncaster– 32 of youse got that!
Twelve got Forest Green’s 3-0 derby win over Yeovil
7 somehow guessed Newport 1 Man City 4 (how????)
5 got Rotherham’s derby “Desmond” with Sheff Wed
Rob C, Alex R & Tim P got Coventry’s 3-0 deconstruction of Walsall
Justin C got Charlton 0 Blackpool 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.
Sam A got the bore draw between PNE & Forest
Rowan M got the dull-all at Ibrox
Mike K got the Blade’s thrashing of Reading
John K got the thrilling Bolton 0 Norwich 4
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Crisp for his I-hope-this-is-what-Mesut-does-to-BATE inspired, Swansea 4 Brentford 1!
Bet of the Week:
We didn’t change it up!
Olly O was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 1 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.
And guess what?!
Oooops! Failed…
3 wins
Norwich @ Bolton – tick!
Preston v Forest – cross!
Charlton v Blackpool – crosser!
So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – bah!
Richard Hirst, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Pressure building…
