“Head the ball…”
“Firesmoke”:
New year, new start ‘n’ all that.
I did my scores from a position of excellent preparation, plenty of research and a knowing that it’d be a week that would go as it ought to go…
It didn’t.
So apologies for the lateness of this update – i’ve been in shock. And in pubs.
Quite a lot of you clearly knew what I didn’t…
Best of the bunch?
Dom Webber 40 (7) deftly manoeuvred, on his debut, to the front of the pack thanks to, well, no last minute dramas basically!
Or VAR interventions.
If you got 30 points or more this week, you were one of 9 – I doff my cap, you jammy…
So, congrats Dommo, £20 winging it’s way to you ASAP – you’re already a tenner up!
Always the best week to win it – innit!
Did you score more than Mr 2-0 this week?
Wow, I’m in awe…
13 of us couldn’t manage that this week.
Shocking.
Not as shocking as Sheff U though eh?! <horrorfied face>
Six players didn’t manage a correct score and 10 couldn’t muster up a measly 15 points!
One girl wishing she was more “Blades” though is Francesca Fernandez 9 (1).
A woeful start sees her at the bottom of the pile in the opening week – a lesson learnt not to farm out your scores to a “boy that knows about football”…
That’s (not) my girl!
Correct Score of the Week:
I’ve got that sinking feeling already…most popular score was Motherwell’s 1-1 draw at St Mirren– 19 of youse got that!
Thirteen were all over the 0-3 to the Bhoys
7 had Everton’s 3-1 win over The Eagles
Five thrilled at the thrilling Brentford 3 Middlesbrough 2
4 made us all green by happening upon Hamilton 0-4 Rangers
Dave N, Howard T & Samantha P (welcome!) got the bore draw between Salford & Crawley
Mark S, Kate S & Matthew M celebrated the dull-all at the Pirelli Stadium
Jazz S, Matt W & Darren McC were grateful for the 3-1 Stoke win over Charlton
Howard T (again!) & Bijay L got Colchester 3 Plymouth 0
Paul C secretly said prayers the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Pittodrie
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Mike Krasnowski for his start-as-you-mean-to-go-on inspired, Swansea City 2 Derby County 3!
Bet of the Week:
So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.
But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…
So!
We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!
How?
Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.
The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.
Got that? No?!
OK…
The person on 11th will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 33rd in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 65th in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 11th…yeah?!
Good.
So, last season’s “leading lady” Kate Slee is first up.
Pete Katy, I need your 3 team treble by Friday please!
No pressure…
