“Drawn to a close…RIP you Ledge!”
“Wet Dream”:
*** spoiler alert! ***
I’m writing this like it’s that sweet time of year just before you open your presents… y’know, to keep it “real” like the halcyon days of pre-Covid!
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 Stoke v Fulham as 1-1 & Arsenal to beat Burnley 4-0…
However, as Liverpool netted an 89th minute penalty (it really wasn’t, was it!) at Selhurst Park , the miracle of Christmas left Predictz trailing in the wake of Martin Stafford 40 (7)
VAR, late pens and 14 points from the last 4 games of the season – ding, dong! (merrily on high)
Third weekly win of the season for the Staffords & 3rd (!) 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 – 8 of youse managed 30 points or more.
Merry Christmas!
“Oh No”:
It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute (online) shopping to be done.
Why bother doing your scores?
Me, Ben H, David G & Mike K are wondering just that in a week where 5 of us only managed no more tha 15 points.
Someone who really didn’t have a Scooby this week was the usually high achieving Tony Morris 10 (1) – don’t let The Syndicate run you down T, come back brighter!
Correct Score of the Week:
Slim pickings…most popular score was QPR’s 1-2 win at Coventry – 22 of youse got that!
Nineteen go the very annoying 89th minute spoiling, outrageous ,Crystal Palace 1 Liverpool 3
10 doffed a cap to West Brom’s 3-0 deconstruction of Peterboro
Ben McK, Frankie F & Pete C got the dull-all at Gander Green Lane
Pete B & Rob C thrilled at the thrilling Bristol City 3 Cardiff City 2
Sam A & Eddie O obviously guessed Wigan would beat Gilliongham 3-2
Rich L was well away with the 1-3 away win for Mansfield
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Yours Truly for my at-effing-last-i’m-back-baby inspired, Southampton 1 Man City 1!
Bet of the Week:
Danny Ashworth was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
We struck again!
So, £6.55 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on a merry £9.63!
Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.
Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…or maybe not.
Table News:
Two crashed the Top Ten!
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 19 places is Martin Stafford – honourable mentions go to Dan W (+18), Predictz (+14), Pete B (+11) and Pete C (+11)
“Too Late Now”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 13 places is Tony Morris – dishonourable mentions go to Paul C (-11), and Bijay L (-10)
Full season update is imminent once I can work out what day it is…
Actually, I’ll get it done before you the new season starts – honest!
