Ola!, i’m Number One…
“Only You”:
We’re back! With a bang!
No, not Arsenal – PAS!
Anyway…
I’ll cut to the chase (sort’ve) as it was all about The Girls this week – and, 4 of the 7 we have signed up this season finished 11th or higher – go girls!
Emma T made an impressive return to the fold and Debbie L has probably got a nosebleed being so high in the Top Ten.
Kate S continues to use the resources at her disposal to great effect but was denied the £20 weekly prize by a girl who has perfected the art of “getting things done” – for her…
Friday after school :
“Frankie, you need to do your scores, it’s Week 1 and you’re in the CL this season!”
“Cool! Yeah, will do..”
Friday 19:57 :
No scores entered so I put 0-3 for her based on my 0-4 prediction…
Saturday 09:00 :
“You didn’t do your score last night but still got 5 points, make sure you do your scores when you’re back from drama…”
“Cool! Yeah, will do…”
Saturday 12:15 :
No scores entered so I do her scores for her based on her normal, “the higher placed team will beat the lower placed team by one goal unless they’re away, then it will be draw” method + not replicating any of my scores
Monday 22:00 :
I limp home with a score less than Mr 2-0 (having been denied a correct score at least twice thanks to 90th min+ goals) and Frankie Fernandez rocks up with 44 (9)
NINE CORRECT SCORES!!! I’ve never got 9 correct scores EVER!
And when I do, they’re not for me…
I hate PAS.
Ahem, congrats lovely daughter, £20 (that I paid anyway) winging its way back to you my darling…
I’m sure you’ll spend it wisely.
“Don’t Go”:
Did you score 25 points+ this week?
Wow, we’re in awe…
Eighteen of you managed that but 18 punters couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week – and four couldn’t muster a correct score.
Shocking.
Not as shocking as the 2 that didn’t break double figures this week though!
Darren McC was spared big blushes courtesy of another scouse tragedy – yep, Mark Seels 7 (0) – it really was a weekend to forget mate…
Correct Score of the Week:
Proper mad scores this week…most popular score was Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw with Brentford – 27 of us got that!
Six were all over the 0-3 to the Sunderland on Friday night
5 (FIVE!) thrilled at the thrilling Wrexham 3 Crewe 3
Martin S, Matt M & Luke S decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Hibs. And they did…
Howard T, Sam A & Chris D were well away with the 1-3 away win for Oxford Utd
Paul V & Debbie L were grateful for the 3-1 Southampton win over Leeds Utd
Ben McK & Matthew S revelled in the schadenfreude of Arsenal’s late late show at Bournemouth
Roshan T will shout out loud about the humbling of Everton by Luton Town
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Will Oppong for his I-like-rugby-and-this-was-always-going-to-be-trying-for-Rovers inspired, Blackburn 1 Leicester City 4!
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 83rd will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 60th 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 33rd in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 83rd…yeah?!
Good.
So, newbie Gary Mitchell is first up.
Mr M, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be homes, aways or draws. It doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or dogs! Or fighting crickets! But not cricket…that’s a step too far!
Let’s get off to a winning start for a change.
No pressure mate..
