“If at first you don’t succeed, Kai, try, try again…”

 

 

 

“The Sweetest Girl”:

Guess how many scored more than 30 points this week?!?!

Go on, guess!

What? No, not that many – guess again!

No! Wrong again!

Again!

Again!

Come on…

Give up?!

Good.

It was two! Mad, eh?!

That meant it was all up for grabs then and most grabbiest were…

…the resurgent Mike K (with a three x 5 pointers about his canon), Nick H (who benefitted from 3 added-time goal correct scores), and Matthew S (who nearly sneaked up on the blindside with his under the radar correct score for Huddersfield).

That left our two Thirty Point Club members vying for the weekly prize.

 

Dickie H somehow construed to miss 19 games but still bag 3 correct scores to go with his late show West Ham prediction.

And there he sat present & correct until the winnings were literally snatched from his pocket as VAR intervened at Craven Cottage at 21:49 on Monday to deny him a 2-2 five pointer.

The resultant penalty was duly converted by Willian, which gifted 9 points and sealed the £20 for Lily Templeton 33 (5)

 

Mad, eh?!

 

Congratulation young lady – shout girls aloud!  ; )

 

 

 

 

 

“Oh Patti (Don’t Feel Sorry for Loverboy)”:

And no, it was way more than two people scoring less than 15 points this week.

 

It was 25 actually.

And, eight of them didn’t get a correct score.

Five scored less than 10 points.

 

Unfortunately for Jasper Marriott 6 (0) there was no magic for a magician (no, really!) this week…

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Slim pickings…most popular score was West Ham’s last gasp 1-2 win at Burnley – 32 of youse got that!

 

Fifteen got the dull-all at Dingwall

7 got Swansea City’s “Desmond” with Hull City

Four lapped up the injury time joy of Sheff Utd 1 Bournemouth 3

Four more revelled in the schadenfreude of Fulham’s late late show against VAR victimized Wolves

Stephen P & Matthew M thrilled at the thrilling Nottm Forest 2 Brighton 3

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Lisa Ward for her so-i’m-a-dummy-huh?-glory-box-this-then! inspired, Everton 0 Man Utd 3!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Martin Stafford was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Ooops!

 

Let’s win enough to build you another hotel fella!

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Absolute”:

Andy Fowler stays top, now a massive 19 points ahead of Gareth M who, in turn, is two points ahead of Olly O in third.

Is the title race over?!

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)”:

Danny Ashworth slips two places to the basement, 1 point off Julian F, who, in turn, is three correct scores adrift of Jasper M…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The Boom Boom Bap”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Dickie Holloway – honourable mentions go to Lily T (+21), Nick H (+19), Matthew S (+20), and Stephen P (+16).

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Lee Taylor – dishonourable mentions go to Mark S (-17), Dave C (-23), Eddie O (-18), and Paul H (-16).

“Dock…”

 

 

 

“Blitzkrieg Bop”:

Usually, if you finish behind Mr 2-0 you can rightfully feel a little hard done-by.

You put in all that effort to hone “that winning total” only to find if you hadn’t bothered, you would have saved yourself, oooh, 15 minutes and gained at the same time.

This week, there was mucho consternation about the aforementioned “Mr” as the 2-0 scorelines rolled in over the 6 day International Week.

“How dare he!”, “It’s an outrage!” “It’s not fair!” hollered various Mr Angry’s from Purley, Portrush and, erm, Potsdam.

Well, fear not people, he (alongside his 6 followers) didn’t win, so do not feel hard done-by getting beat by a 38 point haul!

 

Twenty-six PASers scored more than 30 points this week…

Dave C finally found his mojo and went close, Paul F, who continues to impress, also went close and Ben H nearly did it with only 3 correct scores (imagine!)

But it was all decided by one 90th minute Leandro Trossard goal.

Andy F, like his beloved Toffees, was cruelly robbed of points…and those eight that escaped denied him a hat-trick of weekly £20 prizes (blimey!)

That same goal gifted Justin Corliss 42 (4) the 9 point correct score he needed to take him clear of the chasing pack…

 

Bravo Mr C, I suggest getting a few Leffes in to celebrate! Hic!

 

 

 

 

“The KKK Took My Baby Away”:

Do you wish you had settled for the default score this week?

10 punters didn’t get a correct score.

Only two scored less than 15 points!

And those two are had-in-hand propping up the rest.

 

Who?

Bijay Lama & Max Morgan 14 (0)

 

Go easy on yerselves boys…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Scores were there to be had, but not many were got…most popular score was Wales’ 1-1 draw with Turkey – 16 of youse got that!

 

Fifteen just knew Gibraltar wouldn’t score against the Netherlands for a 0-6

14 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Belgium 5 Azerbaijan 0

Thirteen had Hugary’s 3-1 win over Montenegro

11 grateful for the 3-1 Spanish win over Georgia

Mark S, Simon Linds & Norman L got the 1-3 Spain win in Cyprus

Matthew S got Netherlands 1 Ireland 0

Pete B decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Ukraine v Italy. And he did…

Andy F landed on the two-two in Georgia for Scotland.

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Danny Bushell for his there’s-no-14-0-showboating-going-on-here inspired, Greece 2 France 2!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Simon Lindsay was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

He failed but went pretty close…

 

 

I’m expecting great things from you M!

 

 

Table News:

 

“Baby, I Love You”:

Andy Fowler storms to the summit, a big 9 points ahead of Olly O who, in turn, is five points ahead of Gareth M in third.

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“I Wanna Be Sedated”:

Mike Krasnowski stays anchored to the bottom, 7 points off Julian F, who, in turn, is four points adrift of Danny A…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Rock n Roll High School”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 28 places is Ben Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Justin C (+27), Dave C (+22), Sam O (+22), Orla McKeown (+22), and Neil M (+20).

 

 

 

 

“Teenage Lobotomy”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 21 places is Bijay Lama – dishonourable mentions go to Max M (-19), Simon B (-19), Roshan T (-17), Matthew S (-18) and Hira Y (-17).

“He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich…”

 

 

 

“The Sweetest Thing”:

I have to say, this season is shaping up as one of the closest for a long long time – the predicting is getting universally consistent and the notable correct scores continue to roll in – bravo gente!

This is late (soz!) so I’ll cut to the chase…

Ironic really, as there was no chase this week ( or is that coincidence? Alanis! C’mere!)

Nineteen players scored 30 points or more, two went beyond the “haughty forty” and our £20 weekly prize winner totted up the best tally of the season so far!

Young Luke S put up a spirited challenge but his 43 points palled in comparison to Paul Carter 54 (7).

Our first runaway winner of the season smashed in 4 x five pointers and 2 x 9 pointers that had him feet up basking early doors…

For an ‘Ammer resident Down Under, the weekend must have looked like heaven from 2.20pm (GMT) onwards on Saturday!

And yes Paul, see, I can mention Australia without falling into lazy sweeping generalisations – fair dinkum eh?!

 

 

 

“If Looks Could Kill”:

Even at the wrong end of everything, there have been consistent shoots of optimism this season!

15 punters scored fifteen points or less this week and only four couldn’t muster a correct score (big commiserations to Harry H though – he got to 20 points “unboosted”. Proper harsh.)

And yet again, everyone got into double figures this week.

Someone had to finish last though, and it was our sole Bristolian (residing in Portishead) who was more slush than lush.

Lisa Ward 13 (1), you are a dummy.

Sour times, eh?!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Monster monster scoring…most popular score was Southampton’s 2-1 win over West Brom Alb – 31 of youse got that!

 

Nineteen believed in the Villa. A 3-1 kinda belief…

10 saw Sunderland sinking Brum 3-1

Eight had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at The Ricoh Arena

8 more just knew Arsenal wouldn’t keep a clean sheet for a 3-1 v Burnley

Seven got 3 goal demolition of Brentford by Liverpool

6 made us all green by happening upon Ipswich 3-2 Swansea

Neil T, Simon Linds & Luke S decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards on the QPR v Bristol City game. And they did…

Howard T nabbed the form book upsetting Brighton 1 Sheff Utd 1

I bribed Dave & Dan to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the back end and waltzed off with Boro 1 Leicester 0

Simon Linds thanked the Lord for Soucek (88’) at West Ham 3-2 Nottm Forest

Paul C was well away with the 2-3 away win for Oxford at Orient

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Debbie Lee for her yep-i’m-back-baby-and-how inspired, Crystal Palace 2 Everton 3!

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dickie Holloway was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

 

Table News:

 

“Razzle Dazzle Rose”:

Gareth Morgan stays top, but now only 1 correct score ahead of Andy F who, in turn, is two points ahead of Paul C in third.

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Lloyd, I’m Ready To Be Heartbroken“:

Mike Krasnowski slips one place to the bottom, 2 points off both Julian F & Suman K…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Do It Again”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 32 places is Luke Stafford – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+25), Will O (+19), Dan W (+15), and Debbie L (+19).

Ahhhh, remember when football was a simple straightforward game…

 

 

 

“Pounding”:

I’m not going to mention it…

 

In another “correct score fest” of a week, only six PASers managed to score more than 30 points.

In a week where it appeared de rigueur to NOT predict all the games (yep, I missed 15 of them!) at least 3 contenders for the £20 weekly prize could claim that’s what hampered them.

Kate S missed 1 game, Reagon K missed 3 and Rob C missed 4 – but all came within striking distance of winning (spare a thought for Rob C though, that 100th minute Sheff U penalty ultimately did for him!)

Paul F challenged all the way right up to an unlikely 4 points at Luton courtesy of a 95th minute equaliser.

 

But where Spurs failed, one of their own succeeded.

 

Jazz Sian 38 (6) stayed disciplined, predicted all 30 games and can thank a certain B Fernandes for his 91st winner securing two victories…

 

The King is back!

 

 

 

“There Goes The Fear”:

I’m still not going to mention it…

 

Ten players couldn’t get over the line marked “15 points”

6 of them didn’t get a correct score.

All of them avoided a single-figure score week.

Propping up the rest this week, in-keeping with the family trait of not being very good at this game, is Greg Fleming 11 (0)

 

He’s not going to mention it either…

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Another bumper week…most popular score was Celtic’s 0-3 win at Ross County – 24 of youse got that!

 

Twenty got the 1-3 Gers win over the Jambos

9 will shout out loud about the 4-0 humbling of Solihull Moors by Bolton

Five got WBA 3 Hull City 1

Danny B, Andy F & Elliot D lapped up the 100th minute joy of Sheff U 2 Wolves 1

Rob C, Norman L & John D felt Fergie vibes when this Norwich 92nd minute consolation goal secured a 5 pointer 1-3 v Blackburn

Julian F, Matthew M & Max M got the dull-all at the Swansea.com Stadium

Martin S, Reagon K & Andy B celebrated the bore draw between Huddersfield & Watford

Julian F (again!), Tim P & Lisa W said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their PNE 3 Coventry City 2

Jamie S, Nick H & Deepak B celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 3-2 between Brentford & West Ham

Anders H & David G turned up Stoke 0 Cardiff 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Sam A & Predictz snaffled up the 2-2 & 5 points served up by Birmingham & Ipswich

Reagon K saw his typo come good on the game at Newcastle

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Paul Flaherty for his howay-(man)-i’m-sure-i’ll-have-a-great-weekend-what-with-late-goals-and-VAR-decisions inspired, Luton Town 1 Liverpool 1!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

George Triantafillou was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 5 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Another “winner”!

 

So, £2.56 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd taking in to £5.56 – good effort G!

 

 

Dickie H, Tom W-S & Ben H are at 60th this week – newcomer Dickie Holloway was first out the hat…

 

Richard, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Are you going to treat us to a South Coast special?

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Catch The Sun”:

Gareth Morgan moves up one place to the summit, 6 points ahead of Andy F who, in turn, is one point ahead of Kate S in third.

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Kingdom Of Rust“:

Julian Fernandez is still bottom (no birthday luck then bro…), now 5 points off Mike K, who, in turn, is six correct scores(!) away from Thomas S…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Here It Comes”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 31 places is Rob Currin – honourable mentions go to Jazz S (+24), Paul F (+18), Andy K (+16), Matthew M (+18), Deepak B (+18), and Reagon K (+25).

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places is Lee Taylor – dishonourable mentions go to Simon B (-18), Paul V (-18), and Tom W-S (-17).
