“Yes, away fan. You’re sitting all the way up there, man!”
A poor performing week with a ridiculous scrap at the top – so I’ll cut to the chase!
Only six people scored 30 points or more…
Greg F & Max M put in a fair shift but came up short (Greg will be fuming at that 91st minute goal at Kenilworth Road!).
Mike K walloped in the Brighton score only to be scuppered by Barnsley’s 5th in the 93rd minute.
Andy K lashed in the Man City score only to be undone by the 94th minute winner at Hartlepool.
Tom M was robbed by that Campbell goal at Luton…
So that left Neil Osborne 34 (5), rueing a 94th winner at Palace AND a 99th minute winner at Cardiff, but jumping for joy a la Jeff Stelling as that 94th minute Oliver Finney winner secured the £20 weekly prize!
After all that Neil, I bet you were as breathless as Roger at Wembley in ’78!
“Funeral Pyre”:
It really was a bonfire for the 35(!) of us who couldn’t score more than fifteen points this week.
Thirteen didn’t notch a correct score.
4 didn’t get a double figure tally!
Propping us all up this week was Simon Lindsay 8 (0) – mate, really hasn’t been a week to be Spurs has it?
Correct Score of the Week:
Just, no…most popular score was Forest’s 1-1 draw with Wolves – 18 of youse got that!
Nine obviously guessed Arsenal would beat Leeds 4-1
Danny B, Neil O & Matthew M had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at The Hawthorns
Danny B (again!), David G & Tom M turned up Hull 0 Rotherham 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.
Paul C, Lee T & Andy B just knew Blackpool would score against Preston for a 3-1
Chris D, Mike K & Dan C bribed Dan & Dave to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the back end and waltzed off with Brighton 3 Brentford 3
Andy K & Justin C somehow stumbled on Man City 4 Liverpool 1 (how????)
Tim P nabbed the form book upsetting Kilmarnock 2 Hearts 1
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his Emery-is-no-Dick inspired, Chelsea 0 Aston Villa 2!
Bet of the Week:
Dilip Adhikari was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
It was a no show – not a bratwurst!
So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – up & running!
Dilip Adhikari is at 33rd this week….wait! what?!
Herr A, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!
Surely you’ve read this far this week?!
Table News:
“Precious”:
Dan Wayman is still top, 13 points ahead of Paul C who, in turn, is eight points ahead of Paul F in third…
Three crashed the Top Ten!
“Down In A Tube Station At Midnight:
Patricia Fernandez is still in last place, nine points behind Howard T who, in turn, is 13 points off Paul V…
