“remember the name…”

“Brass In Pocket”:

Big big scoring week this week people!

If you didn’t score 30 points or more, that’s you left looking up at 32 others – yep, it was that kinda week!

Big correct score tallies too – four bods weighed in with 7 each and three of those smashed through the 40 point barrier.

Woooo!

Two ex-prolific ex-champs (CL & League respectively) got 8 correct scores each and pushed hard for the weekly prize.

Alas, just like Spurs, Gareth M & Jazz S just fell short of former glories as ex-pat Scouser Mark J Brown 46 (8) stole in to take the weekly £20 and, record the new season high for a weekly score for good measure!

Save it for a Greggs fiesta next time you’re back eh, Marcus!   : )

Thing is though, is it ironic he has Stevie G to thank after that 92nd minute goal secured his win?

 

“Back On The Chain Gang”:

Under 20 points this week?

Yep?

Well, that’s you and 14 other unfortunates who really really felt it this week.

Hira Y really felt it as he was the only person not to get a correct score!

But he still wasn’t the week’s worst…

Despite Frankie F putting in another abject performance, even she couldn’t save the blushes of Mike Krasnowski 13 (1).

Sullied.

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Well, well, well…most popular score was Man Utd’s last minute 1-2 win at Bournemouth– 34 of us got that!

Twenty one got the 3-1 Chelsea win over C Palace

12 got Derby’s 3-1 win over Birmingham City

Seven got the five point 3-1 that was Everton v Brighton

5 got the dull-all at the Britannia Stadium

Matt W, Andy C & Norman L nailed Wolves 2 Spurs 3

Mark J B & Reagon K just knew Hull would score against WBA for a 1-0

And…

No one got a unique correct score!

A first…I think!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Bry D was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 5 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We won! Again!

 

Leicester – yep (never in doubt was it!)

Swansea– nope (Rotherham??!)

Sunderland – yep (lucky Black Cats!)

 

So, £3.08 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th –  decent!

 

Jerry S, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Pressure…

Just in case they want to swap scarves…

“Everything Counts”:

Sometimes there are no last minute twists that win you a week.

Sometimes you just grind it out and sit there sweating for 21 minutes praying another goal doesn’t ruin an absolute pearler of a prediction…

It was really tight this week (well, for most…) – only 9 bods posted more than 30 points whilst vast swathes were deep into the twenties.

Hapless Alex R rallied with 5 correct scores and was joined there by Olly O, Norman L, James C and our own Dave N (ahem!).

But 32 or 33 points just didn’t cut it as the braggadocio that announced his debut chat on our ever entertaining What’s App group (have you joined yet?) was matched by a swaggering 10 pointer only a current champion can pull off!

Yep, the big Geordie Stephen Peaston 36 (4) roared back into the mix to plunder this week’s £20 courtesy of a game with 6 goals that managed to not produce another in its last quarter!

Mad.

 

“Just Can’t Get Enough”:

Put it this way. I had enough. Too much.

Have you tried Super Bock Stout? How about Porto’s finest “wine”? I won’t even tell how many pastel de natas I put away either.

I put my pathetic score down to jet lag.

Actually, train lag.

The 8am Saturday morning one from Lisboa to Oporto.

Oh, and the Sagres. And the frango. And the octopus hot dogs. AND, the dizziness of 12 wins on the bounce…

Paul Vinson 13 (0), what was your excuse?

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

*Hic*…most popular score was Man Utd’s 2-1 win over Everton– 30 of youse got that!

Fourteen got the dull-all at St Mary’s

7 got Watford’s 3-0 deconstruction of Huddersfield

Five got Millwall 3 Ipswich 0

4 got Birmingham’s 3-1 win over Sheff Wed

Dave N, Jazz S & Reagon K were all over the Scottish League Cup 0-3 to the Celtic

Richard Hu & John K got the two-two in London. The wrong right side of London…

Gary B & Joe M got Chelsea’s thrashing of Burnley

Stuart F & Debbie L got the thrilling Liverpool 4 Cardiff 1

Neil O & James C got the ding dong derby on the Fylde coast

Norman L made us all green by happening upon Fulham 0-3 Bournemouth

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Stephen Peaston for his I-am-the-current-champion-so-beware inspired, Sheff Utd 4 Wigan 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Mark J B was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 4 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We won!

 

Liverpool – yep (never in doubt was it!)

Hearts v Celtic draw– nope (hmmmmmm….)

Chelsea – yep (even without Hazard!)

 

So, £1.12 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th –  welllll, it’s a start!

 

Bry Derbyshire, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! “Pressure, coming down on me…”

 

 

 

Table News:

“Walking In My Shoes”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 37 places is Stephen Peaston (jeez, he’s done the treble!) – honourable mentions go to Dave N (+33), Olly O (+22), Joe M (+22), Jason M (+19), James C (+19), Steve M (+16) and Kate S (+15)

THE highlight of the weekend…

 

“Ooh La La”: I’ll get this out the way early doors – TEN!!!!

Anyway, one person who was loving a nine this week was Justin C – he smashed in two massive predictions with a total of five goals in each!

But was it enough?

Well, no. Obv.

12 people scored 30 points or more this week and coming out toppermost was beaming Gooner Rob Currin 41 (7)!

Pipping Justin by 3 points Roberto has Preston’s 93rd minute equaliser at Hull, Everton’s late two goal salvo v Palace and St Johnstone’s 92nd minute goal at Motherwell to thank for the £20 weekly prize!

Well done Rob, i’ll give you that “score” in euros at the game in Lisbon tomorrow   : )

 

 

“Fly Me Away”: A crippling week for some, especially the 14 bods who scored no more than 15 points.

Shezan J flopped with 11 (1)

Rowan M drooped to 11 (0)

But Julian Fernandez 9 (0) was most deflated this week as he keeps the family trait of worst scores going this season.

No doubt being kind giving Frankie the week off…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Absolute scenes…most popular score was Arsenal’s 3-1 over Leicester– 37 of youse got that!

Nine got the 5 goal demolition of Burnley

8 got the five point 2-2 that was Chelsea-Man Yoo

5 got the dull-all at Huish Park

Four got the thrilling Celtic 4 Hibs 2

Greg F, Justin C & Hira Y got very annoying last minute spoiling Hamilton 1 Rangers 4

Neil C made us all green by happening upon Wolves 0 Watford 2

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Rob Currin for his I’ve-done-the-weekly-double inspired, Reading 3 Millwall 1!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Neil T was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 3 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We lost!

Boo hiss.

 

Man City – in (even if they did cheat!)

Newcastle – out (he said it was a risk…and it was!)

Wolves – out (no one saw that coming…)

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th –  ho hum…

 

Mark J Brown, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Pressure…

“Yep, Armenia v Gibraltar affected today’s attendance…” (pic: Daniel Vinson)

 

“Radio Tokyo”: Did you experience the rollercoaster ride that is “International Week”?

Did the “ups” outweigh the “downs”?

Personally, I was head first into oblivion with a disastrous 6 point opening salvo only to whipped round a corner to a 5 correct score high soon after…the dip to the finish was a lot easier after that.

So, thirty five people scored 30 points or more this week meaning the benchmark was very high indeed – current champion Stephen P & habitual CL botherer Gareth M both notched up 40 points and Debbie L had something of an epiphany racking up a whacking 43 points!

Yeah, it was that kinda week.

However, thanks to either a dubious decision chalking off a Dzeko goal, or a late late Finnish finish or a Biraghi goal breaking Polish hearts in the 92nd minute, Neil Osborne 45 (9) is this week’s winner!

A well deserved £20 winging it’s way to you Neil.

Psssst! Neil, you’ll be pleased to hear there’s another international week coming up soon mate!  : )

 

“Negative Space”: Did you nosedive from the start and never recover?

15 players scored less than 20 points this week – were you involved?

Well,

Four unfortunates didn’t even manage a correct score.

David G only got 14 (0)

Hmmmmm…

Ultimately, my little girl Frankie Fernandez 10 (0) really suffered from not studying the form(!) this week and was banned from asking unicorns for advice ever again as a consequence…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I actually got amongst it this week…most popular score was France’s 2-1 win over Germany – 28 of youse got that!

23 got the Luxembourg 3 goal demolition of San Marino

Seven got the thrilling Kazakhstan 4 Andorra 0

5 obviously guessed Kosovo would beat Malta 3-1

Four made us all green by happening upon Gibraltar 2-1 Liechtenstein

Four more were all over the 9 pointer, 2-3 to the Eng-er-land

Pete B & Shezan J got the dull-all in Dublin

Clare T & Julian F got the bore draw between Croatia & England

Martin S & Tony M got Russia 0 Sweden 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there

Jamie S & Simon Linds just knew Liechtenstein would score against Macedonia for a handsome 4-1

Debbie L & Hira Y believed in Portugal. A 2-3 kinda belief…

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Patricia Fernandez for her history-in-the-making inspired, Armenia 0 Gibraltar 1!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

We changed it up!

Shezan J was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 2 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We won!

Here’s to many more…

 

Hungary to win in Greece – nope (that ex-Fulham fella saw to that…)

Belgium to beat Switzerland – yep (Romelu on the case!)

Ireland to draw with Denmark – yep (the best 0-0 ever…for us!)

 

So, £3.25 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd –   : )

 

Neil Templeton, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Pressure on!

 

 

Table News:

 

“Static Resistance”:  Ben Hogwood is joined at the summit by Neil Osborne, both 11 points ahead of Jack B in third.

“Riyad, see that row with Z on it? It went above there…” (pic: Neil Meredith)

 

“Blue Eyes”:

So I’ll get the sob story out the way early doors – I got the most results right this week without a single correct score – waaaaaah! If you were part of our ever entertaining What’s App group, you’ll be all too familiar with my woes…

But before you mock though, only 28 people scored more than 20 points in Week 2 – so there!

Anyway,

Five scored 30 points or more * gritted teeth emoji *

Nick W produced an inspired late late debut performance, Matt W pushed on from his cracking best correct score from last week and Ben H celebrated another fine weekly total – all notching a very creditable 31 points.

After smashing in 9 points from the game where I was waiting on 10 (see below), Richard Hirst 32 (4) sneaked away with the £20 prize all thanks to Alexis Sanchez actually scoring.

In the last minute.

Meh.

“Tricky” must have been happy as a clam what with Forest beating Boro too! Aye Karanka!

 

Well done young man (said in a ‘Pools accent)

 

“Kennedy”:

Gawd! Can you imagine not getting a correct score and failing to beat a 10 year old girl who puts as much effort into her scores as a millennial does looking up from their phone?

 

Frankie Fernandez got 10 (0)

 

So did Sam Arora, Will Oppong, Alex Rossi & Andy Fowler.

 

Our Famous Five spared the blushes of Nick H, Peter M, Paul V, Bill P and Mr 2-0 (lolz) who all scrambled a correct score-less eleven points!

 

Think Jose’s “little finger” may have been pointed in your direction…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

 

I despair, I really do…most popular score was Killy’s 1-2 win at Dundee – 20 of youse got that!

 

16 got the 0-3 Chelsea (Morata stealing) win over Southampton (yep, I had 0-2…)

 

Ten got the thrilling WBA 4 Reading 1 (yep, I had 4-2…)

 

4 obviously guessed Rangers would beat Hearts 3-1 (yep, I had 2-1…)

 

Darren McC & Dave C got Birmingham 2 Rotherham 1 (yep,….)

 

Matt W & Mike K got the very nice 9 points courtesy of Aberdeen 4 St Mirren 1

 

Gareth M nailed Brighton 1 West Ham 0

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Clare Templeton for her I-see-through-the-Sky-hype inspired, Liverpool 0 Man City 0! Jesus!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

We changed it up!

Charlie H was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We lost!

Not the most auspicious of starts again then eh?!

 

Tranmere to win at Morecambe – tick (after much late drama!)

Burnley to beat Huddersfield – cross (they let Huddersfield SCORE??!)

Livingston to win at Motherwell – crosser… (against 10 men as well!)

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th –   : (

 

Shezan J, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! No pressure…

“Gold & A Pager”:

I did my scores from a position of excellent preparation, plenty of research and a knowing that it’d be a week that would go as it should be…

Ahem.

So apologies for the lateness of this update – i’ve been in shock. And in Dublin. And in pubs…

Anyway, quite a lot of you clearly knew what I didn’t.

Best of the bunch?

Jack Buxton 43 (7) deftly manoeuvred in front of the other 3 people to score forty points or more this week thanks to a Sturridge wonder goal & a Sakho forearm!

Those late twists nicely bookending the Week 1 theme!

If you got 30 points or more this week, you were one of 17 – I doff my cap, you jammy…

 

So, congrats Jack, £20 winging it’s way back to you ASAP – always the best week to win innit!

 

 

“88”:

Did you score 20 points + this week?

Wow, I’m in awe…

25 of us couldn’t manage more than 19 points this week.

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Senor Sanchez though eh?! Nacho has scored more goals than him since he left <smiley face>

One Gooner feeling a bit “Alexis” though is Dave Crisp 13 (1).

He crashed to the bottom this week, but he did have the equally hapless Daniel Vinson for company though…

Tut tut Danny boy!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

It’s gonna be one of those season’s again…most popular score was Bristol City’s 1-1 draw with Villa – 29 of youse got that!

10 got the five-pointer 2-2 between Blackburn & Forest

7 got the 3-1 for Kilmarnock v Motherwell

4 got the very nice 9 points courtesy of PNE 2 WBA 3

Neil B, Rowan M & Shezan J got the 3 goal demolition of Fulham (by Everton)

Darren McC & Richard Hu got the two all draw between Rotherham & Stoke

Olly O & Andy F nailed Swansea 3 QPR 0

Paul V & Norman L both benefitted from Brentford 2 Reading 2

Simon B pulled a plum with Livingston 1-0 Rangers

Andy F (again!) just knew Derby wouldn’t score at Bolton

Howard T got the 4th “Desmond” of the season – Birmingham v Ipswich

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matt Worsfold for his cor-blimey-guvnor-apples-n-pears inspired, West Ham 3 Man Utd 1! Blindin’!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed epically in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

So!

This year we’re changing it up!

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 11th will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 33rd 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 65th in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 11th…yeah?!

Good.

So, Darren McCarthy, Charlie Harris & Scott Harrison are all in joint 11th, but Charlie Harris was 1st out the hat.

Charlie, I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! No pressure then…
