Dropped a bol ball…
Well, that was some week, eh?! I did plan to rave & gush but I think it’s all been said already (thank you, Chris Wilder!) so I’ll keep my counsel like the good host I am…
In a week where we only had 29 games again due to “the curse of Barrow”, it proved really good for most. (please note: that I pulled up short on saying “wheelie good” there…)
Twenty four people managed 30 points or more and five of them cracked the 40 point threshold. And, three of them were in with a shout for the £20 prize…right to the end.
Debbie L went close and must be rueing missing predictions on 5 games, especially as Fulham’s late goal denied her a win!
Maffew W reminded us he’s still in the building, smashing home that 10 pointer, a correct score from St Mirren’s 96th & 97th goals, and another courtesy of Newcastle’s 92nd minute 3rd…
But is it ironic that his beloved ‘Ammers scoring an unnecessary third in the 95th minute was the reason that done him? (please note: I made nothing of the fact ironic has “iron” in it…)
So that left a newbie to take full advantage of beginner’s luck.
With correct scores raining in thanks to Arsenal, Erling Haaland, Aston Villa and the scourge of Neil Warnock, we witnessed a sensational victory.
Yep, debutant Louis Williams 47 (6) can count his lucky stars and will no doubt buy his mate Harry H a pint…as he introduced him to PAS! You will right? Shurely…
Well done Louis, winnings coming your way very soon – bravo young man!
If you weren’t stuck in the middle this week, you were stuck in the mire. With me.
6 of us ended up with fifteen points or less.
Three did not record a correct score.
On a brighter note, everyone had a double-digit return!
However, the King is dead…
Jazz Sian 12(0) you regally crossed the line of shame…
All hail!
Correct Score of the Week:
Yeah, yeah, don’t rub it in…most popular score was WBA’s 2-1 win over Coventry City – 32 of us got that!
Twenty had Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Paliss
17 were grateful to Erling for the 3-1 City win in the derby
Sixteen got Brentford’s “Desmond” with Chelsea
14 made us all green by happening upon Luton 2-3 Aston Villa
Nine were on that cloud after Arsenal’s 0-6 shellacking of Sheffield Utd
5 got the dull-all at Deepdale
Five more landed on the two-two in Dundee. The wrong side of Dundee, btw…
4 got the 1-3 Reading win against Carlisle Utd
Four more felt Fergie vibes when those 91st & 95th minute goals secured a 5 pointer 1-3 for West Ham at Everton
Matt W, Paul C & Damian W got Newcastle 3 Wolves 0
My mum & Rukesh K saw their typos come good on the game at Leicester!
Chris D was all alone with Bristol City 0 Cardiff City 1
Lily T doesn’t care about who dropped a ball where – she landed Forest 0 Liverpool 1
Paul C (again!) lapped up the injury time joy of Fulham 3 Brighton 0
However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rukesh Koju for his I-might-have-only-got-two-scores-right-but-just-look-at-them! inspired, Rangers 1 Motherwell 2!
Bet of the Week:
I was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 3 so I asked myself to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
I went for a south London special but also went with feeling over thinking…
AFC Wimbledon to beat Franchise Scum FC – yes! In the 94th minute! And back at Plough Lane!
Palace to win at Spurs – after an hour it was looking good…
Sutton to win at Tranmere – still in with a shout up to 86 minutes…
Lesson learned?
Good will overcome. Wombles are good!
Spurs spoil everything for everyone always.
Sutton (and its people) are never to be trusted. I hope they go down…
So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – sorry…
Chris Dixon is at 83rd this week….
Mr D, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!
Let’s hope you do better than moi…
Table News:
“1”:

“Alzheimers“:
