The Christmas gift that keeps giving…

 

“Off The Hook”:

You can tell it’s the holiday season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in.

Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into an alcoholic abyss with little chance of predicting succour…

Form goes out the window & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country.

So how do you combat this perennial problem?

Don’t ask me, I had Northampton & Spurs to draw..

 

However, as missing out on correct scores for Luton, Millwall & Leeds basically discounted you from any chance of winning this week – Jason M, Dave C, Julian F,  Sam A, Andy K & Neil M must be kicking themselves as an early Christmas gift was aptly handed over to The King.

Yep, Jazz Sian 40 (7) did it again – ding, dong! (merrily on high)

The aforementioned correct scores got Mr S on track to land the last weekly twenty quid prize…

 

Surely you’ll use that to back Arsenal Spurs for a trophy this season, J?!

 

Here’s the science bit – twenty four of youse managed 30 points or more.

 

Merry Christmas!

 

The Magnificent Seven 

Assists

C Morris (90’+2) – Luton

P Foden (90’+3) – Man City

 

 

 

 

“Alala”:

It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute shopping to be done.

Why bother doing your scores?

 

Andy B, Norman L, Rob C & Ben McK (the only one to have zero correct scores btw!) are wondering just that in a week where only 5 bods managed to score no more than fifteen points.

 

Surprised Man Yoo’s “run of form” came to a juddering halt? Well, don’t be.

 

Bijay Lama 9 (1) spectacularly returned to what he is doing best this season as the parallel form with the Red Devils continues…don’t tell Ruben, he might choke on his sprouts.

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

A few (and I mean a few!) crackers here…most popular score was St Mirren’s 1-2 defeat of Ross County – 31 of youse got that!

 

Nineteen will shout out loud about the four goal humbling of Oxford by Leeds

Stuart F & Reagon K had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Goodison.

Howard T decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Fulham. And he did…

 

 

 

However, the final week’s best correct score goes to, Ray Bird for his I’ve-been-away-but-now-I’m-back-baby inspired, Ipswich 0 Newcastle 4!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

David Goggin was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

 

“Villa, Palace & Bournemouth all to win”

 

 

Great effort from all our BotWers this season.

Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…or not!

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

“Alcohol”:

Two crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Julian Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Jamie S (+15), Simon B (+17), Dave C (+21), Rich L (+17), David M (+15), and Sam A (+19)

 

 

 

 

“Left Behind”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 18 places are Ben McKeown, Martin Stafford, David Goggin & Neil Templeton – dishonourable mentions go to Andy B (-14), Anders H (-14), Danny A (-17) and Rob C (-14)

 

Full season update is imminent once I can work out what day it is…

 

Actually, I’ll get it done before you go back to work in the New Year – honest!

Race ya to Galloways…

 

 

 

 

“Mandinka”:

Penultimate week and the ultimate set of random results, eh?!

Only 4 people managed to get thirty point or more but 6 had a realistic chance of winning the £20 weekly prize…

Rowan M had a couple of added-on time goals in his haul, Kate S had a 5 pointer nil-all but got turned over by Forest, Matthew E had three late goals assists but another one (Ipswich) ended his claim, and Matt W had a big nine pointer to his name but probably regrets missing the first game now.

We nearly had an early Christmas miracle as Leo C came out fighting (well, from Saturday morning he did – he missed the first game too!) only to see  Ipswich and, cruelly, Bournemouth taking away his moment in the limelight – ooof!

That left Martin Stafford 33 (6) sitting up top with a trio “last kick” goals taking him 1 point clear of the aforementioned unfortunate young man who is probably learning swearwords to call the West Ham defence!

 

What a week for Wigan!

Who’s that “score” going on in the darts then, M?

 

 

The Starring Six

Assists

J Whatmough (90’+3 og) – Leeds

A Elanga (90’+3) – Nottm Forest

A Diallo (90′) – Man Utd

 

 

“The Emperor’s New Clothes”:

Did you feel like tearing your hair out this week?

You weren’t alone…

Eighteen punters scored no more than 15 points this week.

A whopping ten didn’t muster a correct score.

But only one didn’t hit double digits.

Jamie Sellers 9 (0), how very QPR of you!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Let’s forget about this week…most popular score was Burnley’s 1-2 win at Norwich – 29 of us got that!

 

Eleven got the very annoying 94th minute spoiling Hibs 3 Ross County 1

6 we’re so happy for Stoke 2-2 Cardiff they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Five decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Charlton. And they did…

4 were well away with the 1-3 away win for Wednesday

Matt W & Stephen P somehow stumbled on Swansea 2 Sunderland 3 (how????)

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Julian Fernandez for his next-season-Pompey-will-be-playing-one-of-these-teams-so-i-hope-they-can’t-goals inspired, Bromley 0 Port Vale 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Simon B was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 11 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Ooops…again.

 

“Over 2.5 goals (2nd time lucky) :”

Arsenal v Everton – they could still be playing now and it’d be 0-0…

Sheff Utd v Plymouth – one goal short

Norwich v Burnley – yep

 

 

 

So, £0 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on £3 – hmmmmm…

 

David Goggin is at 33rd this week…

 

Mr G, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

Can we end on a big winner?!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“All Kinds Of Everything”:

Hira Yonzan remains top, and will be crowned League Champion next week as he has a massive 17 points on Ben H who, in turn, is sixteen points ahead of Ryan G in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“I Am Stretched On Your Grave”:

Lee Taylor dropped 2 places to the bottom, 6 points adrift of Stephen P, who, in turn, is 5 points behind Greg F…

 

 

 

 

 

“Thank You For Hearing Me”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places is Martin Stafford – honourable mentions go to Matthew E (+15), Matt W (+22), and Neil T (+15).

 

 

 

 

“Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 17 places is Jamie Sellers – dishonourable mentions go to Matthew S (-15) and Dave C (-15).

PAS Champions League Knockout Stages 2024/25:

 

Matchday 6, the final group games went ahead this week…

 

It. Was. Sen. Sation. Al.

 

We had 5 successful jokers! 2 really successful jokers! 3 hammerings! 1 close games! 2 heartbreakers! And, 6 away wins!

Three won their games with 16 points & 1 lost theirs with 26 points!

 

But who went through to the knock out stages?!

It’s Tottenham…

 

 

 

 

“Staring At The Sun”:

As the end of the “Winter” season appears on the horizon, the less games played, the less stress for those in pole positions.

Couple that with outrageous results wrong footing most of us, and it gets even better for those who “have” over those who “have not” a clue points…

 

So it was a huge boost for those in the Top Ten as only 4 players scored over thirty points this week.

My mum (!), Harry H & Andy K all put in a shift but it was someone in the 93rd berth that went above and beyond to claim the £20 weekly prize.

 

Bijay Lama 40 (7) somehow magicked a majestic score from only 27 matches. Three x 5 pointers did most of the damage along with triple helping of added on time goals. And, it could have been even more emphatic if it were not for Motherwell & <gulp> Spurs with late late goals taking the cherry off the icing on the cake…

 

One up on Hira eh, B?!

 

 

The Sensational Seven

 

Assists

B. Anderson (90’+5 pen) – Kilmarnock

D. Ouattara (90’+5) – Bournemouth

B. De Cordova-Reid (90’+1) – Leicester

 

 

 

“Crying”:

A third of the field suffered the ignominy of scoring fifteen points or less this week.

Yeah, it was another one of those weeks…

 

A dearth of correct scores but only 3 PASers failed to register a correct score.

Of those, two didn’t make double figures.

 

Pete Clarke & Lee Taylor 9 (0) will surely blame the mulled wine? Is that still a “thing”?!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Scant…most popular score was Bournemouth’s late late 1-2 win at Ipswich – 28 of us got that!

 

Twenty one got Celtic’s 3 goal demolition of Hibs

14 were all over the 0-3 to Rangers

Fourteen more nailed Leicester 2 Brighton 2

7 got West Brom’s “Desmond” with Sheffield United

Bijay L & Luke S turned up Lincoln City 0 Charlton Athletic 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Patricia F & Hira Y said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Crystal Palace 2-2 Man City

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matthew Eadie for his my-brother-Darren-knows-the-VAR-mob-and-this-was-pencilled-in-for-one-all-draw inspired, Fulham 1 Arsenal 1!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dan C was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It was a no show!

 

 

Actually, current form on here is shocking so he probably did us a favour…

 

 

 

So, £3 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on £9.18 – that should get you pint!

 

Simon Buxton is at 45th this week…

 

Si, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

Let’s have a good ‘un mate…pretty please?

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“Golden Age”:

Hira Yonzan remains top, stretching his lead to (an absolutely insurmountable?) 21 points ahead of Ben H who, in turn, is three points ahead of Ryan G in third.

 

One crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Wolf Like Me”:

Leo Clarke is still fighting the good fight and is now only 2 points adrift of Stephen P, who, in turn, is 2 points behind Lee T…

 

 

 

 

 

“Province”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 26 places is Andy Kelly – honourable mentions go to H Hopper (+24), Matthew E (+19), David G (+18), Simon Lindq (+19), and Bijay L (+25).

 

 

 

 

“Happy Idiot”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 18 places are Pete Clarke & Matthew Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Dan H (-13), Mark S (-12), Neil O (-11), Nick H (-11), Justin C (-12), Dave C (-12), Matt W (-14) and Roshan T (-13).

Actually Pep, you’re fifth…

 

 

 

 

“Konichiwa Bitches”:

My word that was a brutal week…not one to miss out on a “big” correct score and certainly not one to follow Mr 2-0 on (and there’s nothing worse than trying your best only to see if hadn’t bothered you’d have got the same score – oh man!)

Only nine PASers scored over 30 points this week – yes, do congratulate yourselves.

Five were in the mix for the £20 weekly prize…

Stefan P, making his full league debut, had a great start, a great finish but nothing in the middle and Rowan M must be regretting missing the first two games – duh!

Jason M put his brother in his place this week only to see Sheff Wed dash his challenge.

Damian H bagged two 94th minute correct scores but gave Ross County one goal’s worth of too much credit against Celtic – oooof!

That left Pete Clarke 38 (4) to clean up with what must surely be the least amount of correct scores to win a week (Dan! Have a root through that dusty weekly score archive cellar and confirm please!).

But what a fab four of correct scores they were – a nine pointer, an eight pointer and a couple of five pointers!

To be fair, it would’ve been more conclusive had those 2 x 94th minute goals not gone in…

 

Family bragging rights all round again then – bravo Pedro!

 

 

The Fortunate Four

 

Assists

nope – old skool!

 

 

 

 

“Who’s That Girl?”:

Wowsers – that was painful.

19 players suffered at the hands of another mad of week of scores, scoring no more than fifteen points.

At least we can laugh at the “professional” Predictz though (every cloud…)

Nine didn’t get a correct score and how Sam A managed not to, I’ll never know!

 

Only one didn’t make double figures though –  limping in last this week is new girl Laura Harrison 8 (0).

It’s not just Citeh having a crisis of confidence then, L?!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Ughhh…most popular score was Bromley’s 1-2 FA Cup win at Solihull Moors – 24 of youse got that!

 

Nineteen had Boro’s 3-1 win over Hull

11 quite rightly predicted Celtic’s 5-0 thrashing of Ross County

Eight were grateful for the 3-1 Stockport win over plucky Brackley in the Cup

6 snaffled up the 5 points served up by Coventry & Cardiff’s 2-2

Paul C, Debbie L & Andy B got Chelsea 3 Villa 0

Danny B & Norman L celebrated the FA Cup bore draw between Burton Albion & Tamworth

Jamie S & David G thrilled at the thrilling Norwich 4 Luton 2

Neil C nabbed the form book upsetting Brighton 1 Southampton 1

Mark S banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Swansea & Pompey

Leo C got the dull-all at Vicarage Road

Pete C doffed a cap to Man Yoo’s 4-0 deconstruction Everton

Martin S made us all green by happening upon Bristol City 4-0 Plymouth Argyle

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Crisp for his Ruud-Van-who? inspired, Brentford 4 Leicester 1!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Emma T was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 9 so we asked her to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Oh.

 

“So…all to have +2.5 goals in the game”

 

Sheff U v Sunderland – if only that pen had been converted…

Notts Forest v Ipswich – if only you’d correctly called them Nottm…

West Ham v Arsenal – if only we could play them every week!

 

 

So, £0 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd leaving it on £0 – one to avoid people!

 

Dan Clarke & Louis Williams are at 60th this week…Dan was first out the hat –

 

Mr C, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

Let’s have a good ‘un mate!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“With Every Heartbeat”:

Hira Yonzan remains top, stretching his lead to (a surely insurmountable?) 19 points ahead of Ben H who, in turn, is one point ahead of Ryan G in third.

“Dancing On My Own”:

Leo Clarke isn’t going out without a fight and is now only 3 points adrift of Stephen P, who, in turn, is 6 points behind Lee T…

 

 

 

 

 

“Be Mine!”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 25 places is Rowan Marriott – honourable mentions go to Damian H (+21), Mark S (+21), Stefan P (+23), and Pete C (+23).

It’s Tottenham…

 

 

“If You Were There”:

When your luck’s in, yer luck’s in!

There were 9 matches with added-on time goal drama.

Your luck’s in if you max out on 33% of them.

Your luck’s really in if two of those games knock out your nearest rivals for the £20 weekly prize…

Your luck really isn’t in if Willy Gnoto spoils a 3-3 in the 91^st minute and Antoine Semenyo rattles the bar instead of equalising in the 93^rd.

Only a fab four managed to score 30 points or more this week.

Yeah.

That kinda week.

Ben H continues to defy the odds after finishing 93^rd last season & Paul C bagged 95^th & 96^th minute correct scores only to be done over by dirty Leeds…

Damian W pushed all the way with a 93^rd & 94^th minute brace of correct scores, only for ‘Wall to spoil the party against Sunderland in the 93^rd minute.

So that left Tony Morris 35 (6) sitting pretty for the second week running with barely a look back (still not going say it…) to see where his sibling might be.

Congrats T, at least we know who “Noel” is now!

 

 

The Swaggering Six

Assists

1. Gray (96′) – Watford
2. Brooks (93′) – Bournemouth
3. Azeez (93′) – Millwall

 

 

 

“This Old Heart Of Mine”:

Get caught short this week?

You did well if you didn’t, it was utter carnage…

Thirty six players scored less than 15 points as the hangover from International Week lingered on.

17 (SEVENTEEN) punters failed to notch a correct score!

Fourteen didn’t make double digits (Mr 2-0 naysayers take note!)

The walk of shame?

That’s with Reagon Karki 6 (0).

 

Can I suggest the (German) Christmas markets for a steinkrug or six, R?

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

All hail Desmond…most popular score was PNE’s 1-1 draw with Derby – 29 of us got that!

 

Eight doffed a cap to Arsenal’s 3-0 deconstruction of Nottm Forest

6 got WBA’s “Desmond” with Norwich City

Five nailed Coventry 2 Sheff Utd 2

5 more banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Plymouth & Watford

Four (!) somehow stumbled on Hearts 1 Celtic 4 (how??? The what? 94^th min goal? Oh…)

Mike K, Laura H & Matthew E we’re so happy for Aston Villa 2-2 Palace they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Stuart F & Lily T had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Goodison

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter for his I-love-summer-doing-my-scores-whilst-flippin-prawns-and-necking-Swans inspired, Southampton 2 Liverpool 3!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dan H was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 8 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It could’ve been so good…but, no.

 

“3 correct scores – high risk, high reward!”

Man Utd to win 1-2 – could’ve

Rangers to win 2-0 – should’ve

QPR to draw 1-1 – was!

 

 

So, £0 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £0 – oops!

 

Emma Tudor is at 83rd this week…

 

Mizz T, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

We need this! Make it a good ‘un (Everton? Wrexham? Gee-gees?)

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“It’s Your Thing”:

Hira Yonzan is still at the summit 13 points ahead of Ben “Lazarus” H who, in turn, is three points ahead of Ryan G in third.

 

Two crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Behind A Painted Smile”:

Leo Clarke stays rooted in the basement slot 7 points adrift of Stephen P, who, in turn, is 3 points behind Lee T…

“Up The Bracket”:

Is there anything better than squaring up & smashing your sibling especially when it’s a bit contentious to boot?

Coming on like the PAS version of Oasis, the “Syndicate” brothers duked it out for the £20 weekly prize in a field that only had ten players scoring 30 points or more.

Chris D and Neil M threatened briefly with a late surge courtesy of a 10 pointer, but then just slid away (Neil is probably regretting missing the first four games too!).

So that left our brothers to sort it.

Jason M could only look back (no, i’m not going to say it…) and feel aggrieved as two added-on time goals denied him the family and PAS bragging rights.

Tony Morris 41 (6) on the other hand, had two added-on time goals to thank for his victory – wonderwallful!

 

 

The Surging Six

 

Assists

N.Nanni (91′ pen) – San Marino

D. Adu-Adjei (92′) – Carlisle Utd

 

 

 

 

 

“What A Waster”:

First the good news.

Everyone managed to hit double figures!

And…

Fourteen punters scored 15 points or less.

Nine of those didn’t register a correct score.

Propping up the table this week is new kid on the block, Leo Clarke 11 (0).

Don’t worry Leo, proper football is back now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

 

“This Nations League has ruined everything”…most popular score was Sweden’s 2-1 win over Slovakia – 31 of us got that!

 

Eight quite rightly predicted Norway’s 5-0 thrashing of Kazakhstan

David G & Norman L just knew Italy would score against France for a 1-3

Ben McK & Chris D thrilled at the thrilling Netherlands 4 Hungary 0

Neil M & Chris D (again!) had Sweden’s merciless 6-0 deconstruction of Azerbaijan

Matthew S had Israel’s 1-0 win over Belgium

Anders H nailed Bosnia 1 Netherlands 1

Danny B saw his typo come good on the game in Liechtenstein v San Marino

Paul F believed in Lee. A 0-3 in Greece kinda belief…

Matt W believed in Lee. A 5-0 over Ireland kinda belief…

Roshan T thanked the Lord for Bryan Zaragoza and his 93rd minute penalty conversion

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Dave Crisp for his I-trust-the-process-and-I-know-Kai-does-too-and-he-knows-Leroy inspired, Germany 7 Bosnia-Herzegovina 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Simon B 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?!

 

We “won” – well done Si!

 

“Over 2.5 goals

Belgium v Italy – under

Norway v Kazakhstan – over

Czechia v Georgia – over”

 

 

So, £1.66 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 45th taking it to £4.66 – healthy!

 

Dan Hogwood is at 33rd this week…

 

Dan, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

Crunch those stats my son!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“Don’t Look Back Into The Sun”:

Hira Yonzan stays top 15 points ahead of Ryan G who, in turn, is five points ahead of Ben H in third.

 

Four crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Can’t Stand Me Now”:

Leo Clarke slips one place to the bottom 10 points adrift of Lee T, who, in turn, is 2 correct scores behind Bijay L…

 

 

 

 

 

“I Get Along”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 42 places is Tony Morris – honourable mentions go to Ben McK (+23), Jason M (+30), El Presidente (+27), Chris D (+35), and Neil T (+22).

 

 

 

 

“What Became Of The Likely Lads”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 22 places is Charlie Harris – dishonourable mentions go to Reagon K (-16), Thomas S (-18), Dom W (-20), and Dan H (-18).

Should’ve had a Red Bull mate…

 

 

 

“The Man Who Stole A Leopard”:

Just when I thought another bizarre week of scoring was on the cards, we returned to “normal” service…

 

Twenty one punters righted last week’s wrongs by posting scores of over 30 points.

7 went to forty and beyond – bravo!

Newbie Lee P applied PAS approved tactics & smashed in 2 x 9 pointers!

Andy F didn’t miss missing 4 games and was warmly assisted by 2 x 90+4 minute penalties!

Resurgent Ryan G was similarly recompensed by late late goals!

George T confirmed his return to form by snaffling up eight correct scores (and some how didn’t win!)!

 

In a cruel twist of fate to the chasing pack, Gareth Morgan 47 (6) had the temerity to miss thirteen games, nail a 9 pointer and have Mr 2-0 as an able assistant to claim this week’s £20 prize!

 

Congrats G, bet that latest AngeBall mishap doesn’t smart as much now, eh?!

 

 

The Steady Six

 

Assists

Mr 2-0

 

 

 

 

 

“Save A Prayer”:

Meanwhile on planet Earth…

 

Only five players scored 15 points or less this week.

6 PASers didn’t notch a correct score (spare a thought, if only fleeting, for Stephen P…)

Only one didn’t get into double figures though.

 

Neil Critchlow 9 (0) will be even more crest fallen after what happened in Brighton…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Impressive…most popular score was Millwall’s 1-1 draw at Stoke – 28 of youse got that!

 

Fourteen got the 3 goal demolition of Leicester by Man Yoo

10(!) made us all green by happening upon Brentford 3-2 Bournemouth

Five felt Fergie vibes when a 92nd minute goal secured a 5 pointer 3-0 for Dundee Utd

5 more decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at West Ham. And they did…

Four(!!) put us all to shame by predicting Brighton 2 Man City 1

Darren McC, Dave C & Paul C got the 1-3 Blackburn win over Cardiff

Norman L & Thomas S will shout out loud about the humbling of Spurs by Ipswich

Justin C & Laura H were well away with the 1-3 away win for Toon at Forest

Lee P & Mike K somehow stumbled on Aberdeen 4 Dundee 1 (how????)

Jonathas M just knew Watford would keep a clean sheet for a 1-0 against Oxford

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Louis Williams for his I-knew-Pompey-would-play-up-sooner-or-later inspired, Portsmouth 3 Preston N E 1!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Sam A 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?!

 

He went gee-gee and…

It was a no-no.

 

Doncaster

11.45 – Onemorenomore – agghhh, 8th!

12.15 – Capotes Dream – ooooh, 2nd!

14.00 – Station X – 1st!

 

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – unlucky Sam, would’ve been good if that came in!

 

Simon Buxton is at 45th this week…

 

Mr B, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

Let’s have a winner please Si!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“My Own Way”:

Hira Yonzan remains at the summit 17 points ahead of Ryan G who, in turn, is fifteen points ahead of Ben H in third. Some gap that…

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Is There Something I Should Know?”:

Lee Taylor is still in the basement slot, but now only 6 points adrift of Leo C, who, in turn, is 2 points behind Stephen P…

 

 

 

 

 

“Hungry Like The Wolf”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 42 places is Gareth Morgan – honourable mentions go to Lee P (+31), George T (+41), Danny B (+27), Nick H (+24), and Danny A (+38).

 

 

 

 

“Skin Trade”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 29 places is Will Oppong – dishonourable mentions go to Sam A (-22), Chris D (-23), Simon Linds (-21), Rowan M (-22), David G (-22), Pete C (-24), Thomas S (-24), and Roshan T (-22).

The Don Dadas…

 

 

 

“Mr Pharmacist”:

Gobsmacked.

The What’s App group was alight with horror stories of having an absolute ‘mare in Week 6.

Usually, it’s people on 27 (4) realising that they shouldn’t have trusted Arsenal as yet another red card is brandished with an hour to go…

But this week. It. Was. Real.

Only one punter scores over 30 points this week.

Yep, one.

When you’re luck is in, it’s in.

So much in, you can forget about the Cardiff spoiling your weekend in the 93rd minute as the £20 weekly spoils are all yours…

Ben Hogwood 36 (7) defied the curse of the Friday night correct score and then collected 10 points from the last 4 games, of which, nine came courtesy of added-on time goals.

And when was the last time VAR was your friend too?!

 

Mustard Ben, mustard…

 

 

The Surprising Seven

 

Assists

Mateta (90′ + 6 ) – VAR

Dalby (90′ pen) – Dundee Utd

Wilson (90′ + 2 & 90′ + 7) – Fulham

 

 

 

 

 

“Totally Wired”:

Unchartered territory here too.

 

54 <FIFTY FOUR> punters flopped with fifteen points or less this week.

Twenty one <21> didn’t register a correct score!

12 <TWEL-i’ll stop now> couldn’t get into double figures…

 

Repping in the Hall of Shame this week were Simon Lindquist, Danny Bushell & Tony Morris 6(0)

 

Wowsers.

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Would you Adam n Believe it…most popular score was Fulham’s outrageous last gasp 2-1 win over Brentford – 28 of youse got that!

 

Twenty four got Leeds 3 Plymouth 0

13 snaffled up the 5 points served up by VAR Wolves & Palace

Dom W & Paul F celebrated the bore draw between St Mirren & Ross County

Dave N & Martin S had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at St James’s Park, Newcastle, Exeter, Brackley

David M knew that Toon would beat Arsenal 1-0 again. This time fairly & squarely…

Martin S (again!) doffed a cap to Forest’s 3-0 deconstruction of West Ham

Dan H got very annoying last minute spoiling Dundee 3 Kilmarnock 2

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season goes to Norman Lee for his you-have-to-feel-for-them-with-all-their-woes-injures-limited squad-tiredness-as-they-didn’t-stand-a-chance-against-the-might-of-The-Cherries inspired, AFC Bournemouth 2 Manchester City 1!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Simon T 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?!

 

Ambitious, but…

 

 

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – good for you Si, we like bets like that (but I spose we like money posted up more!)

 

Chris D, Pete B & Sam A are at 60th this week…first out the hat was Sam!

 

Mr A, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

Are you gonna go gee-gees?!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“Victoria”:

Hira Yonzan stays top 19 points ahead of Matthew S who, in turn, is nine points ahead of Ryan G in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Lost In Music”:

Lee Taylor remains rooted to the bottom, now 13 points adrift of Bijay L, who, in turn, is 2 points behind Paul V…

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 51 places is Ben Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Howard T (+20), Harry H (+37), Ric P (+22), Pete C (+41), David M (+23), George T (+23), and Eddie O (+24)

Outrageous…

 

 

 

“Crystalised”:

There was were was were over 33% of fixtures that had goals scored in the 90th minute or later this week.

Yeah.

Really. (11, count ’em!)

Just about everyone was affected one way or another. Yep. Really. (net loss of 6 points for me – grrr)

 

So who benefitted then?

 

Thirteen players scored 30 points or more this week – well done youse!

 

The contenders?

Tim P was in nosebleed territory and has Wolves & Everton to thank for denying him the £20 weekly prize (at least ETH has gone now though, Timmy!)

Ben McK went really close courtesy of 92 minute “Correct Score of the Season” goal…

 

And that left a “The Syndicate” duo to duke it out for top honours.

 

A resurgent Tony M (remember him?) had a Super Sunday bar one crucial result that had the irony/coincidental debate police on full alert.

Richard Hirst 40 (7) matched his old mucker Tony blow for blow with an array of last kick correct scores, but it was the 92nd minute penalty at West Ham that sealed it for him!

 

Congrats Tricky, imagine Man Yoo doing over one of their own, eh?!

 

The Sweet Seven

Assists

N Clark (90′) – St Johnstone

Beto (90′ + 4) – Everton

Bowen (90′ + 2 pen) – West Ham

 

 

 

 

“Teardrops”:

Did you get stung by the added-on time mayhem this week?!

 

14 punters floundered on fifteen points or less.

Eight of them couldn’t muster a correct score.

Spoiler: no one had a single digit tally!

 

Propping up the rest this week were Elliot Davy & Rob Currin 10(0)

Ooof!

 

And just for the record (and a degree of sympathy – we’re nice like that), those late goals cost Elliot 8 (1) and Rob 12 (2)!

Go have a beer boys!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

My word…most popular score was Bromley’s last gasp 1-1 draw with Barrow – 29 of us got that!

 

Twenty landed on the two-two in North London on Sunday. The right side of North London…

17 were all over the 0-3 to the Celtic

Six revelled in the schadenfreude of Charlton’s late late show against Wrexham

Will O & Gary R (welcome!) lapped up the injury time joy of Brighton 2 Wolves 2

Danny B nabbed the form book upsetting Crystal Palace 1 Spurs 0

Kate S got the dull-all at Ashton Gate

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season goes to Ben McKeown for his I-couldn’t-be-any-further-away-from-Devon-but-us-Geordies-see-everything-man inspired, Plymouth Argyle 3 Preston North End 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Chris D was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 4 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

“If Coldplay were playing in my back garden, I’d close the curtains.  But despite that, I’m going all ‘Yellow’ with this sure-fire winning selection…”

 

It went brown…

 

 

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – oh well…

 

Orla McK, Simon T & Mr 2-0 are at 83rd this week…first out the hat was Simon!

 

Mr Goalscorer Challenge, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

 

Let’s get back on board please Si…
