“He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice…”
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 St Mirren v St Johnstone as 0-0 & West Brom to beat Villa 2-1…
However, as Aberdeen netted in the last minute (96th actually!) at Rugby Park (i’m ignoring its new name…), the miracle of Christmas left Greg F trailing in the wake of Martin Stafford 44 (8)
Welbeck, Wycombe and quintuplet of 5 correct scores in a row – ding, dong! (merrily on high)
Second weekly win of the season & 2nd Christmas (Week 13) in a row for Mr S…
I can just copy n paste this then –
“Sawreetferthee M, eeeyafflaff?!
Art suppin bowt?
Best use that twenty quid, eh?!”
Ahem,
Here’s the science bit – 26 of youse managed 25 points or more.
Merry Christmas!
It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute (online) shopping to be done.
Why bother doing your scores?
Matt W, Simon B, Darren McC, David G, Dom W, Hira Y & John J are wondering just that in a week where 12 bods only managed 15 points or less.
Someone who really didn’t have a Scooby this week was newbie Samantha Pillet 5 (0) – don’t run off scared Sam, come back brighter!
Correct Score of the Week:
I hate football…most popular score was Everton’s 2-1 win over Arsenal– 31 of youse got that! (grrrrrrr…)
Thirteen believed in Rangers. A 3-1 kinda belief…
10 just knew Reading would score against Brentford for a 3-1
Scott H, Andy F & Bijay L doffed a cap to Chelsea’s 3-0 deconstruction of West ‘Am
Nick H, Debbie L & Justin C were all over the Big Sam welcoming 0-3 to the Villa
Andy F (again) & Bry D landed on the two-two in Glasgow. The wrong side of Glasgow…
Gary McC obviously guessed Burnley would beat Wolves 2-1
Andy S will shout out loud about the humbling of Spurs by Leicester
Reagon K got the dull-all at Kenilworth Road
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Vinson for his it’s-Christmas-this-may-well-be-a-cracker inspired, St Mirren 3 St Johnstone 2!
Bet of the Week:
George Triantafillou 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 struck again!
So, £1.87 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th leaving it on a merry £3.93!
Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.
Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…or not.
Table News:
Three crashed the Top Ten!
“Sometimes”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 28 places is John King – honourable mentions go to Greg F (+20), and Harry H (+15)
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 28 places is John Jennings – dishonourable mentions go to Pete H (-19), Hira Y (-14), and Simon B (-14)
Full season update is imminent once I can work out what day it is…
Actually, I’ll get it done before you go back to work – honest!
