Now you can have your own emoji Miguel…

“Street Fighting Man”:

You can tell it’s the holiday season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in.

Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into an alcoholic abyss with little chance of predicting succour.

Form goes out the window & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country.

So how do you combat this perennial problem?

Don’t ask me, I had Blackburn v Wigan as 4-0 & ‘Wall to beat Barnsley 4-1…

However, as no one netted in the last minute (or any minute!) at Ewood Park, the miracle of Christmas left Danny A & Simon Linds trailing in the wake of Martin Stafford 39 (8)

Ding, dong! (merrily on high)

Sawreetferthee M, eeeyafflaff?!

Art suppin bowt?

Best use that twenty quid eh?!

Ahem,

Here’s the science bit – 14 of youse managed 25 points or more.

Merry Christmas!

“Gimme Shelter”:

It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute shopping to be done.

Why bother doing your scores?

Matthew M, Nick W & John J are wondering just that in a week where 32 bods only managed 15 points or less.

Someone who really didn’t have a Scooby this week was newbie Jon Vaughan 7 (0) – don’t run off scared Jonny, come back brighter!

Correct Score of the Week:

Some crackers here…most popular score was Norwich’s 1-2 defeat to Wolves– 32 of youse got that!

N-n-n-n-nineteen obviously guessed Villa would beat Cardiff 3-1 (yesssss, I had 2-1!)

10 got the dull-all at McDiarmid Park

Eight got the very annoying last minute spoiling Forest Green 2 Swindon Town 2 (yesssss, I had 1-2!)

7 just knew Hibs wouldn’t score against Rangers for a 0-3 (yesssss, I had 1-3!)

Six landed on the two-two in London. The wrong side of London…

Martin S & & David G celebrated the bore draw between Blackburn & Wigan

Ben McK & Danny A believed in Hull. A 3-0 kinda belief… (yep, I had 2-0…)

Patricia F & Tim P both got Aston Villa 1 Southampton 3, which tells you everything about that result…

However, this week’s best correct score goes to, erm, no one again as there-was-no-unique-correct-score-this-week-again…weird, non?!

Bet of the Week:

Gary Blackburne was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He bombed!

Palace to win at Toon – bust!

Sheff U to win Brighton – boom!

Leeds to win at Fulham – bust!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th meaning it stayed on £3.00 for the season – yeah!

Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.

Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…

Table News:

“She’s A Rainbow”: Two crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Martin Stafford – honourable mentions go to Danny A (+22), Simon Linds (+17), Mike K (+13) and Gareth M (+13)

“Everything is awesome…”

“Ch-Check It Out”:

Football is rubbish eh?

Bookselling sites are hosting whole weekends of viewing, no one can be @rsed to actually go to actual games anymore (ok, maybe just me then – thanks Granit…) and VAR is doing it’s utmost to derail our beautiful game (PAS, not the game).

So predicting scores is taking one hell of a beating at the minute.

I may be wrong, but I think this week is the closest week ever in terms of players vying to win the £20 prize.

Fifteen players broke the 25 point mark and only, don’t faint, 3 got over thirty points!

Tony M went really close, but he missed out on Charlton & Peter M went really really close with a Super Sunday of 3 correct scores…

But, it turned out to ladies night on Monday!

Sam Craig 31 (5) had all the above plus Wilf to thank for his stunning strike to deny Them Lot for her 1-1 prediction.

What’s more amazing about this win is the fact that Sam only actually put scores in for 9 games…and landed 4 correct scores!

If you were ever gonna make use of Mr 2-0, this is the way to do it folks!

Merry Christmas Sam!

“I Don’t Know”:

So 25 points was the heady heights.

Wow.

Twenty punters got less than 15 points.

Ow!

Eight of youse didn’t manage a correct score, with Matt W & Anders H posting a measly 10 points eaxh.

However, the Fernandez clan & Pompey will surely now disown Julian Fernandez 9 (0)…

Bah ‘umbug…

Correct Score of the Week:

Ouch…most popular score was Wigan’s 1-1 draw with Huddersfield– 31 of youse got that!

Twelve we’re so happy for Charlton 2-2 Hull they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Olly O, Andy C & Paul C had Swansea’s 3-1 win over Middlesbro

Gary B, Nick H & David G made us all green by happening upon Birmingham 2-3 WBA

John K & Paul S will shout out loud about the humbling of Arsenal by Citeh

Rowan M & Stuart F turned up Stoke 0 Reading 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who were actually there…

However, this week’s best correct score goes to, erm, no one as there-was-no-unique-correct-score-this-week…weird, non?!

Bet of the Week:

Tom Morley was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Fail!

Derby to draw with Millwall – nah

Man Yoo to beat Everton – nah

WBA to win at Brum – just!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th meaning it’s on £2.35 for the season – don’t all rush…

Gary Blackurne is at 65th this week….

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

Table News:

“The Maestro”:

Nick Hogwood remains a-top, now a massive 15 points ahead of Jason M who in turn is one point ahead of Pete B in third…

“Fred’s dred baby, Fred’s dred…”

“Just Like Heaven”:

It was a pretty average week this week, even Mr 2-0 sat happily in the middle on 20 points.

Bah.

But average it was not at the top of the weekly pile – it was a right ol’ ding dong!

Only eight players breached 30 points or more and 3 of them produced our very own Super Sunday…

Andy K claimed top spot with a double whammy of correct scores via Newcastle & Sheff Utd.

Then Paul S retorted with a 5 pointer at Brighton.

Exciting eh?!

On to Monday then, and at half time, Lee Ford 38 (5) couldn’t have possibly envisaged his 1-3 prediction coming in (it only happened cos West Ham are even more inept than us btw…) but come in it did!

Those five points propelled him to the top and the £20 prize was claimed!

Bravo!

Just in time for that overpriced mulled wine in the Christmas markets then.

Or not…

“Boy’s Don’t Cry”:

Thirteen of us suffered the nightmare before Christmas this week.

As Mr 2-0 lorded it on 20 points, we hit the misery of not even getting to 15 points.

Six of us didn’t register a correct score.

Only one though didn’t get into double figures…

That was you in Sweden, Anders Hoglund 9 (0)

Skol?

Correct Score of the Week:

I’m sayin’ nowt…most popular score was Toon’s 2-1 win over Southampton– 31 of youse got that!

Eleven were all over the pretty obvious 0-3 to Liverpool

8 were well away with the 1-3 away win for Arsenal

Seven got Brighton’s “Desmond” with Wolves

5 thrilled at the thrilling Blackpool 3 Fleetwood Town 1

Five more banked the five point 2-2 betwixt Millwall & Nottm Forest

Sam C & Paul S lapped up the injury time joy of Cardiff 3 Barnsley 2

Paul C secretly said prayers the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Vicarage Road

Lee F said “Look at me! Look at me! Yes! Me! Meeee!” for his Reading 2 Birmingham 3

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his I-knew-the-Barlinnie-Bird-would-shake-it-up inspired, Everton 3 Chelsea 1!

Bet of the Week:

Nick Hogwood was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He went big, and…

Boom!

Newcastle to beat Southampton & BTTS – who scored the winner??!   : )

Luton to beat Wigan – what a comeback that was – last minute euphoria!

Colchester v Salford BTTS – damn!

So, £9 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd meaning it’s on £18.96 for the season – sweeeet!

Tom Morley is at 45th this week….

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

Table News:

“Pants…”

“It Must Be Love”:

“Embarrassment”:

Following Mr 2-0 is futile – he’ll just mug you off.

Ask Chris B, Sheb R & Andy S.

However, sometimes futility is just the shortcut to the disaster.

Just ask Norman Lee, Debbie Lee & Bruce L Chris Dixon 12 (0)

Correct Score of the Week:

You lot did good this week…most popular score was Millwall’s 1-1 draw at Birmingham – 37 of youse got that!

Twelve got Kilmarnock’s “Desmond” with Hibs

11 banked the five-point 2-2 betwixt Norwich & Arsenal

Eight nailed Man Utd 2 Aston Villa 2

7 just knew Ross County would score against Celtic for a 1-4

Five got the dull-all at the Almondvale Stadium

5 more thrilled at the thrilling Spurs 3 Bournemouth 2

Howard T & Jon V (welcome!) got the 1-3 Owls win over Charlton

Frankie F & John K doffed a cap to Leeds Utd’s 4-0 deconstruction of Boro

John K & Angelo H got the four goal demolition of St Johnstone

Nick H & Ric P said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Rangers 5-0 Hearts

Julian F was well away with the 1-3 away win for Reading at Wigan

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Glynn Fairhurst for his I-put-down-my-pie-and-pea-wet-for-this inspired, PNE 0 WBA 1!

Bet of the Week:

Anders Hoglund was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 9 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He failed! Very unlucky though…

Southampton to beat Watford – yep

Burnley to draw with Palace – nope

Hibs to beat Kilmarnock – nope (93rd minute equaliser!!)

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th keeping it on £4.39 for the season – meh…

Nick Hogwood is at 33rd this week….

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

Table News:
