“Scary monsters…”
“Info Freako”:
Oooooh the heady heights of four correct scores had me wondering “just maybe” – just like Man Yoo at 13.59 on Sunday…
Could it happen?! Will I get the chance to shine, banish my self doubt and silence the haters, the cynics, the critics?
Nah.
Like them, it was a cursory cameo, when what was required was something spectacular… like a Larry Blackmon codpiece (see what I did there?!)
Anyway…
At least four punters put me in my proper place, cocking a snook with their 3o plus point tallies.
But, one person clocked up forty points this week!
Aberdeen 4-1, an inevitable PNE shut out and that Granit Xhaka goal all added up to a convincing victory.
Paul Carter 40 (5) swooped in like Scaramouch & Bowen preying on a shot (shy) Wolves to snatch up this week’s £20 prize – Magnifico!
Bonzer! Flaming galahs! Neighbours! Schooners! Crocodile Dundee! Nuns In A Scrum! Kylie! Prawns on a bar-b! “Bowling, Shane” etc etc…
“Never Enough”:
Loads of 15 points or less scores this week – twenty three in fact!
It was looking a lot like Pete C & Ryan G hand in hand in the corridor of uncertainty, heading for the long walk of weekly shame (it takes 7 days apparently)…
But their dual blushes were spared as newbie Paul Flaherty 10 (0) strolled in with some “the honeymoon’s over” form to plough that furrow on his ownsome.
Howay, man!
Correct Score of the Week:
Yesssssssss…most popular score was Chelsea’s 1-2 win at Paliss (still love you Conor!) – 28 of us got that!
Eight revelled in the schadenfreude of Arsenal’s superb derby win
7 got the dull-all not at Deepdale, but at the Stadium of Light
Five lapped up the injury time joy of Reading 3 Huddersfield 1
Neil T, Hira y & Orla McK thrilled at the thrilling Burton Albion 3 Forest Green Rovers 2
Dave N & Dom W celebrated the bore draw between Bournemouth & Brentford
Sam O turned up Leeds 0 Villa 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there…
Paul C quite rightly predicted Aberdeen’s 4-1 thrashing of Kilmarnock
However, this week’s best correct score goes to ME! for my it’s-my-ball-and-i’ll-go-in-if-you-don’t let-me inspired, Celtic 2 Motherwell 1!
Bet of the Week:
Peter Morley was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
He stuck with the horses and we won again!
Rohaan @ Ascot 3pm – won
Mellow Yellow @ Newmarket 4.27pm – didn’t win
Alpinissta @ Longchamps 3.05pm – won!
So, £11 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th– taking it to a handsome £34.85 – wow!
Lee Taylor is at 45th this week…
Mr T , I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!
We’re on a roll!
