“Never a dull (all) moment…”

“Winter Beats”:

After last week’s “epic-ness”, you could be excused for expecting a slump.

Nah, mate.

You lot we’re proper on it again!

Thirty seven scored 30 points or more and of them, eight smashed into the forties.

Gary B put up a valiant effort (a bit like Palace at the weekend) but just couldn’t cope with our weekly winner’s last minute luck skills!

Neil Osborne 55 (8) piled it on with last minute gains from Celtic & Stoke, topped off with Raheem’s latest offside protecting a 2-1 correct score.

Witchcraft at it’s worst best.

£20 in the bag Neil – I might leave that til the last minute to send over…  ; )

“You Burn”:

A bad week for 23 punters who scored 19 points or less this week.

Particularly bad for David G who didn’t get a single correct score.

Really bad, however, for this triumvirate of underachievers…

Yep, that’s you Dave Crisp, Sam Arora & Dave Nicklin 13 (0)

Quite literally from the sublime to the ridiculous in less than a week!

Correct Score of the Week:

Whoa!…most popular score was Fulham’s 2-1 win over QPR– 32 of us got that!

Thirty one got the very annoying last minute spoiling Celtic 4 Livingston 0

14 just knew Hamilton would score against Rangers for a 1-3

Nine landed on the two-two in south east London. The wrong side of south east London btw…

8 thrilled at the thrilling Blackburn 3 Barnsley 2

Five were grateful for the 3-1 Hibees win over Motherwell

Rob C & Bry D nailed Middlesbrough 2 Hull City 2

Andy C celebrated the bore draw between Bristol City & Nottingham Forest

Bijay L made us all green by happening upon Kilmarnock 3-0 Hearts

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Gary Blackburne for his I-don’t-usually-put-this-much-effort-in inspired, West Ham 2 Spurs 3!

Bet of the Week:

Shezan J was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 8 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He forgot! (so did I to be fair)

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th bringing it to £3.00 – result!

Anders Hoglund is at 11th this week….

Anders, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

Table News:

“Hearts”:

Jason Morris remains top, now only 1 point ahead of Pete B who in turn is four points ahead of Kate S in third…

Three crashed the Top Ten.

“Denial”:

This should ensure that your change is saved, and you should see a brief ‘Saved!’ message displayed to confirm this.

“Wha’ g’wan sistren!”

“Everything Flows”:

Unprecedented scenes!

After much wailing & gnashing of teeth on the PAS What’s App group (you really need to join in btw!) about the vagaries of “International Week”, it really produced a corker. Not even literally. Actually, actually!

So here goes – it was the…

“The Cabbage”:

It really wasn’t a week to be rubbish!

6 people scored 20 points or less!

Clare T limped in with 20 (0)

Mr 2-0 and his followers could only manage 19 (1) – there’s a lesson in there ain’t there!

Spare a thought for Chris D though, he got the unenviable, quite unbelievable score of 25 (0)!!!

Correct Score of the Week:

Man, you missed out…most popular score was Ireland’s dead cert 1-1 draw with Denmark– 37 of us got that!

Thirty three were all over the 4-o to the Germans

20 got Sweden 3 Whale Killing B*st*rds 0

Eighteen had Croatia’s 3-1 win over Slovakia

18 more were well away with the 0-4 away win for Eng-er-land

Sixteen made us all green by happening upon Holland 5-0 Estonia

14 got 6 goal demolition of Gibraltar by Denmark

Ten had Spain’s merciless dismantling of Malta

9 were grateful for the 3-1 Scottish win over Kazahkstan

7 just knew San Marino would score against Kazahkstan for a 1-3

5 got the o-3 Azzuri win over Bosnia

Another five quite rightly predicted Spain’s 5-0 thrashing of Romania

4 thrilled at the thrilling Portugal 6 Lithuania 0

Sam C, Greg F & Brett D got the dull-all at St James’s Park

Richard H, Rowan M & Ric P doffed a cap to Belgium’s 1-4 routing of Russia

Paul C, George T & Karina H (welcome!) believed in Swindon. A 2-3 kinda belief…

Matt W, Rob C & Hira Y said “Look at me! Me! Yes! Me!” for their England 7 Montenegro 0

Martin S nabbed the form book upsetting Forest Green 0 Plymouth 1

Eddie O somehow stumbled on France 2 Moldova 1

However, this week’s best correct score goes to James Challinor for his I-knew-Norn-Iron-Nil-would-deliver inspired, Northern Ireland 0 Holland 0!

Bet of the Week:

Olly O was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He veered from tradition a la Rob C & Julian F…but failed!

B(oth) T(eams) T(o) S(core)

Azerbaijan v Wales – ouch!
Cyprus v Scotland – ooooh!
Northern Ireland vs Holland – ouch!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on £2.35 – better than nowt I spose…

Shezan Juma is at 65th this week….

“What’chu talkin‘ ‘bout, Willis?”

“Jump N Shout”:

I’ll keep it brief, we’ve got an International Week looming….

Eighteen happy souls managed 30 points or more this week but only one managed to get in the haughty forties.

From the peleton, Scott H put in a big shout heading the way in the final sprint, courtesy of a five pointer from Aberdeen.

And he looked set to win when Villa scored in the 92nd minute on Sunday afternoon.

What he didn’t know, however,  that Jack Buxton 42 (7) also had that last-minute gift!

That was followed up with a Rangers correct score to secure the weekly £20 prize!

Unlucky Mr H, you got jacked mate!

“Where’s Your Head At”:

Did you suffer like me?

28 scored twenty points or less.

No one dipped so low as single digits though.

But, 5 got zero correct scores.

The worst?

James Challinor & Andy Smith 11 (0).

As Frankie F will tell you, a bit like Wembley at night in the cold and rain – freezing, queuing for aaaages, walking miles & getting soaked after seeing a missed penalty and a last-minute defeat…

Correct Score of the Week:

At least my nosebleed has stopped…most popular score was Villa’s 2-1 defeat at Wolves– 30 of youse got that!

Fourteen had PNE’s 3-1 win over Huddersfield

12 just knew Brighton would score against Man Yoo for a 3-1

Eleven nailed Sheffield Wednesday 2 Swansea City 2

10 got the 1-3 Granite City win over Ross County

Eight (scousers. red ones.) thrilled at the thrilling Liverpool 3 Man City 1

5 got QPR’s “Desmond” with Middlesbrough

Alex R & Jon V (welcome!) landed on the two-two in Kilmarnock.

Shezan J said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Sunderland 1-1 Gillingham

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Bry Derbyshire for his I-can-tell-youse-what-to-do-with-your-pies inspired, Wigan 0 Brentford 3!

Bet of the Week:

Julian F was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He veered from tradition a la Rob C…and had a result!

B(oth) T(eams) T(o) S(core)

PNE v Huddersfield – caught!

Cardiff v Bristol City – dropped!

Wolves v Villa – caught! Just…

So, £2.37 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd taking it to £9.96 – nice…

Neil Critchlow, Olly Osmond & Danny Norbury are at 45th this week….Olly was out the hat first!

RIP football…

“Pump It Up”:

Considering how volatile the current footballing climate is, it’s wonder why we bother with all this eh?

If you get a correct score these days, cherish it, as it could so easily have slipped from your grasp…

Sermon over.

We had a quarter of the field notching up 30 points or more this week, with a fabulous five hitting the hallowed forty points mark.

Jason M, Andy K and Anders H all lay strong claims to the weekly £20.

What they didn’t bargain for though was a literal bookending brace of last minute correct scores stealing the show.

It’s taken him a while to acclimatise from 15 team accas on a Saturday morning in Ladbrokes to the elite sophistication that is Predict-A-Score, but Greg Fleming 46 (8) can thank Barnsley on Friday night and most satisfyingly, Everton’s late late show on Sunday afternoon for his win.

Well done nephew, I bet that’s twenty pounds you’ll shed in no time at all!

“Accidents Will Happen”:

What was I saying about those hard to get correct scores?

Amazingly, only one person failed to register one this week (is this a first Stats Dept?)

And, un-amazingly, they finished bottom.

Eddie Osborne 12 (0), that was you.

Correct Score of the Week:

I really missed out this week…most popular score was Nottingham Forest’s 1-2 win at Luton– 29 of youse got that!

Twenty one were all over the Scottish League Cup 3-0 to the Teddy Bears

9 we’re so happy for Hamilton 2-2 Ross County they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Seven banked the five point  2-2 betwixt Barnsley & Bristol City

Greg F & Reagon K believed in Bournemouth. A 1-0 kinda belief…

John K & Greg F (again!) got the 3-0 Granite City win over Kilmarnock

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stephen Peaston for his Geordies-love-a-canny-awayday-in-London inspired, West Ham 2 Newcastle 3!

Bet of the Week:

Rob C was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 5 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He veered from the tradish…and had a result!

B(oth) T(eams) T(o) S(core)

Wigan v Swansea – oh yes!

Cheltenham v Forest Green – oh yes!

Charlton v PNE – oh no!

So, £2.16 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th taking it to £4.39 – steady.

Julian Fernandez is at 33rd this week….

Bruv, I need your 3 team treble by Friday please!
