“He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich…”
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?!
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?!
Another “winner”!
Triple H Treble
Hull win – yes they did!
Hearts win – yes they did!
Hibs lose – no they didn’t!
So, £2.97 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th taking in to £5.97 – nice!
Simon Lindsay is at 45th this week
Si, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!
It’s International Week so be brave… but tread careful!
Table News:
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).
“Let’s Get Out Of This Country”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 19 places is Jack Buxton – dishonourable mentions go to Sam O (-15) and Tony M (-15).
