PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 9 round up!

50ft Queenie”: Fourteen people got 30+ points this week! That’s umm, errr, *looks up & right, tongue planted firmly in cheek doing finger counting*, about 200%? No! 2%?? No. Oooooh, a lot %??? Wellllll, it’s more than ten people so it’s quite a few innit!

Anyway, what i’m trying to say is youse did good this week – even the underachieving Sp*rs fan whose brain got fried reading this very text last week (oh! Martin S, no spoilers this week – promise!).

Father & son, in-laws, the fella from Hotchip, Liam (or was it Noel?) and a miniature Gareth Barry were all up & at it this week – even a 13 year old girl that’s really a ten year old boy (don’t ask…) was in on the act!

However, a proper girl (who I wager you thought was a boy!) Sam Craig 44 (7) skipped away with the £20 weekly prize, undoubtedly with a nod toward Bolton actually scoring a goal that gave her the crucial decisive five point buffer. Well done Sam, go spice up ya life – girl power! (I went Ginger,Sporty,Scary,Posh,Massive Forehead seeing as you asked..)

 

 

 

 

Let England Shake”: 22 people got sub twenty points this week! That’s umm, errr…ok, ok, you do the math(s)! Yeah, what i’m trying to say is “your bad”- but seeing as i’m not 15, i’ll say “you’re bad”.

See what I did there? *winking face*

Father & daughter, an ex-champ, last week’s winner (who didn’t star in the “The Shield”), a couple of Toon brothers, Mr 2-0 & his followers, the fella who won the 1st Britain’s Got Talent, some Scousers (faux & real), a doctor, Nick Cave and a girl who can bend it like Beckham we’re all unfortunately in on the act…

However, propping up the rest this week are gruesome twosome Chris Dixon & Julian Fernandez 13 (1) whose shame & humilation probably have Cromwell Parliamentarians & Southampton Company Union Men smirking contentedly whilst nodding knowingly…

Yes, I know they’re all dead. I meant in Heaven, Obvs!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Not that prolific this week was ya?! – most popular score was QPR’s 2-1 win over Charlton – 23 of youse got that!

13 got the ding dong 2-2 between promoted Northampton and Bristol Rovers

Thirteen nailed the dull-all in Yam Yam Land

9 came good with Southampton 3-1 Newcastle

4 got the 3-0 hammering meted out in North London. The very wrong bit of North London..,

James L & John K somehow guessed Huddersfield’s 2-2 draw with Hull.

Sam C got a tasty Derby 4 Bolton 1

However, this week’s best correct score goes to James Challinor for his Iceman inspired, Swansea 1 Chelsea 0.

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

47.95% Crystal Palace V Norwich – it even made Jason P cry!

46.58% Fulham V Cardiff – never ever trust Fulham….

45.21% Wolves V Blackburn – yay!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 80th.

This really is dire – surely we can get some joy in the last 4 weeks of the season??! Can we?

Good Fortune“: Tony Bowley stays top 10 points ahead of Pete B who in turn is four points ahead of Jason M in third…

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 8 round up!

Sweetness & Light”: Did you watch “The Shield”? Y’know, the cop series that was the tasty bite-size burger to the Kobe steak that was “The Wire”? Vic Mackey was ace wasn’t he! The slippery anti-hero you couldn’t help but love and only surpassed by Tony Soprano, Omar Little & maybe even Jesse Pinkman in terms of stealing all the scenes they were in. Yeah!

What about Shane Vendrell though? You had to love him too in that American take on cheeky chappie, jack-the-lad recklessness designed to undo the narrative arc of the show. Then he went really maverick, unhinged, risible, selfish & downright evil (he threw a hand grenade in his best mate’s car ffs!). Ugh! All portrayed by the genius of Walton Goggins.

We haven’t got a Walton. Or a Goggins. But we do have David Goggin 39 (6) whose genius was to win this week’s £20! David had Michael Keane’s 93rd minute strike to thank as he shielded off (see what I did there?) Kate H & Tony M to serve up some rough justice…well done mi Gooner amigo!

Come back here for more tenuous links in the coming weeks folks!

 

 

 

 

Out Of Control”: From the sublime to the totes ridic very much akin to his team this season or even Christian B’s Premiership career so far.

What a difference a week makes for Mark Seels 8 (0) who goes from darling to dimlo and is now the scourge of “The Syndicate” as he clocks in with the only single digit return in Week 8…

That collar bone still playing you up Seelsy??!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

A fine week of predicting… – most popular score was Leicester 1-0’s 1-0 win over The Scummers – 19 of youse got that!

Seventeen got the 3-1 hammering meted out in Glasgow. The Tim bit of Glasgow…

10 got the ding dong 2-2 between Brighton and Burnley

Ten got Aberdeen 3 Hamilton 0

8 nailed the dull-all on Wearside

Seven came good with Aston Villa 0-4 Chelsea

5 just knew Wolves v Ipswich would be goalless

Four somehow guessed Partick’s 0-0 draw with Kilmarnock

4 somehow guessed Swansea’s 2-2 draw at Stoke

Will O, Arthur H & Francesca F just knew Palace would secure a Desmond at the Boleyn

Jon T got a tasty Charlton 1 Birmingham 1

Dave C should be ashamed he got 8 points thanks to a Theo last kick of the game goal

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Alex Rossi for his beside-the-seaside inspired, Bournemouth 0 Man City 4.

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

 

44.74% Dundee V Ross County – 5-2 WTF!!

42.11% Wolves V Ipswich – v predictable. Tick

40.79% Cardiff V Derby – Derby. Never rely on Derby…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 61st.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 7 round up!

Jean Jacket”: It was looking like a right rosy battle for top spot this week between the most improved Charlie H and perennial wooden spooner Frankie F as the faux international week wreaked havoc on predictions. However, despite not predicting the first three games and Eng-er-land robbing him of a five pointer against Germany, Mark Seels 30 (6) wandered up and snatched the £20 this week with no small thanks to Milivoje Novakovic’s missed penalty at Windsor Park. Well done Seelsy, the syndicate must be very proud…

 

 

 

Nom Nom”: 15 people couldn’t manage a single correct score between them this week (even I got one!) but suffering most was poor old Eddie Osborne 9(0) who will no doubt be vey happy to see the back of international week this season…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

All about the solo again this week. No, really… – most popular score was Spain’s 1-1 in Italy – 25 of youse got that!

Neil H got the ding dong 2-2 between Mansfield and Northampton

Sam A nailed the dull-all in Burton

Ian P came good with Romania 0 Spain 0

Debbie L somehow guessed Scotland’s 0-1 win over Czech Rep

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

52.46% Scotland V Denmark – well done us!

50.82% Holland V France – ooh so close

47.54% Rep of Ireland V Switzerland – did you see how many shots Switzerland had??! Jeeez…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 6 round up!

69 Police”: Can I just say I did alright at Cheltenham…OK, i’ll crack on now.

Six people somehow managed to accumulate over 30 points this week – can I JUST say I did alright at Cheltenham, y’know, the gee-gees… Simon Linds & Jack B when tete e tete a nose in front of a game Danny A – I even had a £93 trixie off £8… but in the final furlong a Scouser stole up on the inside rail and finished at a canter – a bit like Cue Card was bloomin meant to do… and racked up at the line with an impressive total that may not be bettered this season. Yep, our friend from the north in the south Alex Rossi 43 (9) is sitting pretty and has £20 less to worry about from his diminished Cheltenham kitty. Well done lah, but follow me & the “Sport” next March mate!

 

 

 

Sick City”: So, who follows Mr 2-0 then? Stupido people that’s who!

I mean, how could you be below Mr 2-0 in the table? Think about it. He’s not even real, he has the same score every week and as for his football knowledge… – did I tell you I did ok at Cheltenham?

Sorry, where was I? Ah yes, dimlos doing bad. Hang you heads Anders Hoglund & Dan Hogwood 9 (0) you ought to be ashamed of yourselves (pssst! Get on the equine tip boys, way way better than rubbish unpredictable football…)

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 5 round up!

Adore”: Don’t like excuses or hard luck stories BUT if Ross County hadn’t scored in the last minute and Joleon Lescott hadn’t hit the post I would’ve had a whole THREE correct scores! Imagine! Actually that Lescott howler must have really annoyed Simon B too as it allowed James Lee 34 (5) to nick in and claim this week’s £20 from right under his nose. Well done James, the Lee name has been rescued back from all those negative connotations now eh?! (Debbie, did you get your spoon in the post btw?)

 

 

 

Shadow”: And speaking of family names being dragged through the mud, young Francesca F seems determined to get her hands on a third wooden spoon in 4 seasons going by recent form. However, uncle Julian Fernandez 9 (0) was even worse this week being the only one of 83 not to notch double figures…tut tut tut!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

More people like me this week – most popular score was West Ham’s fine 1-1 draw at OT – 19 of us got that!

4 got the Black Country-Brum derby dull all

James L & Mark S came good with Huddersfield 1 Burnley 3

Sophie B & Ross B (again!) somehow guessed Bournemouth’s 3-2 win over Swansea

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Yep! Another epic fail – c’mon people!!!

56.96% Nottm Forest V Sheff Wed – Dougie capitulates

48.1% Wolves V Birmingham – yammed up!

46.84% Cardiff V Ipswich – Ipswich always score. Except this week…

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 4 round up!

The Hunter”: If you have a thing for Forest this PAS season you really can see the wood from the trees it seems! Pete B looked like he was going to strike up the first double weekly win of the season until up stepped (tripped? dived??!) Mr Benteke at Selhurst Park to slot a 97th minute penalty for the thieving scousers (other sweeping regionalisms are available)! That winner handed Charlie Harris 39 (7) the extra point he needed to usurp Mancunian Pete and slip away with this week’s £20! Nice one Chas – more cobs for yer snap box next week then duck?!

 

 

 

Cheer Up London”: Looking forlornly up at the heady heights of 30 points plus this week was a shared experience for many. Especially me. Again.

However fellow Gooner Will Oppong 8 (0) felt the pain even more so with a pitiful performance that could be labelled “Theo-esque” by some…well, me. And Rob C. Oh, and Dave C too.

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Nope, no idea… – most popular score was Liverpool’s dubious 1-2 at Palace – 28 of youse got that!

24 got the hammering meted out at the Etihad

12 got the very predictable 3-0 between Celtic & Morton in the Scottish Cup

Twelve more fluked Arsenal’s fine draw v Sp*rs

8 got the other “Desmond” in Reading

Richard H & Andy F nailed WBA 1 – 0 Man Utd

Lee P & Nick H  got the PNE – Brighton bore draw

John K came good with Sheff Wed 0 Rotherham 1

Olly O somehow guessed Dundee Utd’s 2-3 win at Ross County

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Charlie Harris for his I-can-do-no-wrong-and-I’ve-always-said-Martinez-is-defensively-inept inspired, Everton 2 West Ham 3. 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We ignored them and went for 5 home wins instead! And guess what? Yep…

98.7% Man City V Aston Villa – tick

94.81% Sheff Wed V Rotherham – Warnock, WTF?!

93.51% Chelsea V Stoke – Sparky’s dream scuppers

89.61% Celtic V Morton – yep, ‘course. Tick.

87.01% Wigan V Peterborough – Pfffft!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 61st.

Not doing very well are we…..

 

Table News:

Feed the Mantaray“: Tony Bowley stays top just 7 points ahead of new boy John K who in turn is still three points ahead of fellow new boy Lee F in third as the Top 3 remain as you were!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 3 round up!

The Noisy Days Are Over”: Remember 1990? That dance? Y’know! The one that Will Smith was really really good at? The one you tried down the Gin Palace in Tooting? In your clobber from Mash and a crystal round yer gregory?

Well this weeks winner is a running man and he sprinted past (see what I did there!) the desperately unlucky new girls Lindsay S & Sophie B to steal their thunder thanks to Dundee’s late equaliser against Inverness!

£20 then to my ol’ mucker Rowan Marriott 33 (4) who will no doubt treat his 8 kids to a Pot Noodle each cos he’s considerate & kind  like that…

Seriously though, Rowan is running a feet blistering 130 miles in August for “charidee (mate)” and you can pledge him up right here – go on do it, the boy is a legend!

 

 

Them That Do Nothing”: So. You big up a performance that deserves props even to the detriment of oneself. Yeah, *that* bigged up! And what happens? Debbie L reverts to type and form by smashing in another single digit return. Pah!

However, our friend in the (middle) East, Mark J Brown 8(0) has obv had too much sun as his red face managed to save her blushes. Always a gent Marcus, always a gent…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Funny old week – most popular score was Chelsea’s 1-2 at Southampton – 19 of us got that! Yes. Even me!

Gary B / Anders H / David G got the 0-0 at Weston Homes Community Stadium

Lindsay S (welcome!) / Rowan M / Paul V got the horrible 3-2 between Man Yoo & Farcenal.

Tasha M (welcome!) & Francesca F fluked Hamilton’s fine draw v Celtic!

Sophie B (welcome!) & Dan H got Motherwell 3-1 Partick

Lindsay S (again!) & Chris B (welcome back!) nailed Walsall’s away draw in Burton

Julian F & Paul C got the Watford – Bournemouth bore draw

Stuart F came good with Hartlepool 0 Northampton 0

Sam A was spot on with his Sheff Wed zero – zero at Hull

However, this week’s best correct score goes to James Challinor for his Jordan who? inspired, Blackburn 3 MK Dons 2. 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost! Big time! Again! All three went west…again!

55% QPR V Birmingham – Jimmy came good, which was bad for us

53.75% Motherwell V Partick  – me, neither…

50% West Brom V Crystal Palace – if Scott Dann had that penalty award…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd. Ho hum…

 

Table News:

In Context“: Tony Bowley stays top now 12 points ahead of new boy John K who in turn is three points ahead of fellow new boy Lee F in third.

Lindsay S, Paul V, Dan P & Dave N crash the Top Ten.

 

Disappointed“: My word! Neil Templeton emulates moi from last week and goes down three places to the bottom of the pile 2 points behind new boy Richard H who in turn is 2 points off Mark J B. Neil, Neil, orange peel…

 

(I Keep Thinking About) A New Thing“: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 51 places is Rowan Marriott – honourable mentions go to Lindsay S (+22), Paul C (+20), Chris B (+20), Sophie B (+43), Gareth M (+36), James C (+30) and Sam A (+28)

Just Like Everyone Else“: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 34 places is Alex Rossi – dishonourable mentions go to Debbie L (-27), Jack B (-25), Steve M (-28), Danny A (-25), Savan A (-26) and Jason M (-21)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 2 round up!

Flexxin”:

There’ll be dancing on the streets of Beeston, Nottingham & um, Reading this week! Not because Leicester are having a “wobble” from trying to upstage Cloughy’s Forest, more cos the Guardian’s own PAS record holder has come good again! Tony Bowley 35(6) has Celtic’s 93rd minute Lee Griffiths strike to thank for the 3-0 that nudged him in front of the unlucky Mark F…

Congrats gaffer, one to tell the Sales Team in Friday round up Tone?!

 

Fester”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well do it like, erm, Arsenal?

So the creator falls from grace. Yours Truly 10 (0) is this weeks duffer. A new low. I’ve a good mind to take my ball home and not play anymore….however, I did win £75 from a Reading, Palace, West Ham £1 trixie this weekend!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

It was really difficult this week, obv – most popular score was Celtic’s aforementioned 3-0 over Inverness – 18 of youse got that!

9 got the 3-0 at Craven Cottage

7 got the 0-0 between Kilmarnock & Dundee.

John K (welcome!), Tasha M (welcome!) & Andy F got Palace’s fine win at the Lane!

SimonLinds, Anders H & Paul C got Brentford 1-3 Derby

Mark F nailed Bristol City’s away win in Milton Keynes

Lee P (welcome!) got Millwall’s hammering of Peterborough

Nick H came good with Mansfield 3 Dagenham 2

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season, goes to Ross Butcher for his beginners luck, Chelsea 5 Man City 1. (just don’t mention it to Matt W…or the other 1-5 actually…)

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost! Big time! All three went west…

53.25% MK Dons V Bristol City – Lee Johnson weaves more magic…

49.35% Huddersfield V Wolves – Kenny Jackett’s P45 imminent!

48.05% Brentford V Derby – Paul Clement must be swearing in fluent Castilian…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th. Hmmmmm….

To be fair the closest to a win would have come with 3 home wins, but the Arse would’ve let us down for a full house! Imagine!

 

Table News:

Decided Knowledge“: Tony Bowley moves up 4 places to go 1 point ahead of new boy John K who in turn is eight points ahead of Pete B in third.

Loads crashed the Top Ten.

 

Be Right Back“: Ooops! Predictz goes down two places to the bottom of the pile 2 points behind El Presidente who in turn is 3 points off Sam A. I take it all back Debbie L….

 

 

Upsilon“: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 46 places is Andy Fowler – honourable mentions go to Neil H (+34), George T (+45), Arthur H (+42), Ross B (+43) and Martin S (+36)

 

 

In & Out“: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 49 places is Tasha Marriott – dishonourable mentions go to Gareth M (-46), Lee P (-40), Mark S (-42), Norman L (-41) and Howard T (-43)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 1 round up

Lazurus”: Many moons ago (1994 actually) I was nervously prepping for my best man’s speech trying hard to find that balance between witty & smutty, factual & fabricated and sincere & piss take. Turns out I was fabulous but it was the summing up that really caught everyone’s attention – something along the lines of “may your union last as long as humans have belly buttons, rain in Manchester and bacon in Denmark (don’t ask)…” But the real coup de grace of sentiment came in the last line “or as long as it takes Sp*rs to win the League!” The applause was deafening.

My mate got divorced last September…

Anyway, others feeling the dread weight of Sp*rs re-emergence were our numerous City fans – a bad couple of weeks for the club That Ruined Football (TM)  culminated in a comprehensive defeat at the hands of our friends from The Lane. However, one of them, Pete Britton 36 (6) had reason to afford a smile as he picked up the first weekly £20 of the season not least thanks to a dubious decision wiping out a Jordan Rhodes strike in the (old skool) Yorkshire derby!

Well done Pierre, with me winning two prizes on your wonderful “Dream Team” game already this season, people will begin to talk…

Black Star”: Do you like betting? Do you? Feel like you’re a mug punter awash in a sea of stats & experts? Ever thought that even a little bit of research might improve your chances??

Well Predictz 6 (0) tells you otherwise this week! The “go to” site for all things football predictions (www.predictz.com) got it horribly wrong in Week 1 to the extent of giving Debbie L a run for her wooden spoon! (Actually Debbie got 16 points this week – in context, that’s like you or I getting 100 points. Well, maybe not me. Or Gary B. Or Rowan M. Or Neil T. Or…

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite a few correct scores knocking about in a generally poor scoring week… most popular score was Arsenal’s 2-1 last gasp defeat of Leicester – 17 of youse got that!

12 got the ol’ 1-2 at the Etihad

5 got the dull all between Charlton & Cardiff.

Dave C/Clare T/Chris D got the “Desmond” involving Norwich & Charlton.

Howard T & Pete B got Brighton’s, erm,  shellacking of Bolton?

Dave N & Clare T (again!) got the 0-0 in’t Rothrum

Chris D (again!) got M K Dons’s lovely little 0-1 at Derby

Pete B (again!) got the bore draw Leeds 0 Boro 0

Jason M somehow managed to pull out Hamilton 0 Dundee Utd 0!

However, this week’s best correct score, and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Rich Lee for his South Yorkshire inspired, Sheff Wed 4 Brentford 0.

Bet of the Week: We got a new system. We tested it last season. It works. We actually won some money to swell the “BotW” prize slots! And, best of all, you don’t have to do anything at all (well, except put your predictions in on time!)

We’re going again in Week 2!

Expect the bookies to be cowering from our £3 trixie!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’15 Final Table round up

Final Table News:

 

“LV”: It was one minor blip off a perfect season (in fact just about the inverse of my own predictable table fail!) but still an amazing season’s performance none the less!  He started way down in 44th, climbed to 29th, then 13th and then up to tenth in consecutive weeks. Once ensconced, he went up to 5 and then into 3rd, only dropping one week to the hellish depths of fourth!

However, a recovery back up to 3rd was cemented and once he hit the top spot in Week 10 he stayed there! Oh, and he topped Group D to reach the PAS CL knock out stages…

Hats off & congrats to Scott Harrison 355 (51) – you’re a winner!

Scott ended on a 9 point lead over early trailblazer Peter Morley in second place, (who, impressively,  wasn’t out the Top 4 all season!) who in turn finished 11 correct scores ahead of Andy Chesworth in third place. Another former table topper who didn’t leave the Top 4. A fine season sir…

Just four points further behind, Paul Henshaw didn’t leave the Top 10 after Week 2 to finish in fourth spot with old skooler Kate Hopper scooping 5th place just another 4 points shy.

Newcomer Brett Ainger made a debut to remember in 6th just another four points behind.

Eleven points behind, Nick Hogwood finished in seventh (Dan is so proud of you Nick!) 4 points above prolific underachiever Charlie Harris in eighth.

One point behind, finishing ninth, was the long time missing Martin Stafford (further pointing towards a trend that the old-skoolers are back & hungry for winnings – ‘cept me of course..) and another 1 point back Alex Taylor landed in 10th place netting the last of the “big prizes”…

 

 

“LGV”: You have to say even our champion couldn’t match the consistency level of Debbie Lee 190 (20) who finished a massive 47 points adrift and takes the wooden spoon much to the relief of my little girl who was on a hat-trick! Cheers Debbie you’ve saved me having to find a “golden” wooden spoon…

Oh, and you now hold the unenviable record for the lowest score ever in PAS (much to the relief of a certain Rowan M!), a record mind, that will never be surpassed. Just putting that out there….

James S & Paul C (along with long time basement compadres Neil T & Norman L) made gallant efforts over the last few weeks to save Ms Lee’s blushes but to no avail – true gentlemen!

 

Spot Prizers: OK, you have finished on these positions and you HAVE won those prizes!

Dan Pelgrom on 11th, Eddie Osborne on 12th, Mark Fawke on 17th, Simon Buxton on 28th, Jazz Sian on 31st, Pete Britton on 33rd, Rowan Marriott on 34th, Jack Buxton on 44th, James Challinor on 45th, Mark J Brown on 49th, Josh Hirst on 57th, Neil Critchlow on 65th, David Goggin on 66th, Jamie Sellers on 71st & Paul Carter on 79th.

*** all prize money will be winging its way over this weekend (less your PAS L13 Spring ’16 entry fee) – promise! ***

 

 

 

And Another Thing: The other little bits…

 

Mark J Brown picked up an additional £15 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season –  52(6)

 

Dan Hogwood picked up £10 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – Derby County 4 Wolves 2.

 

 

Plaudits

Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to enter, we couldn’t do it without you!

And a final big thank you to Dave N & Dan H for providing all the behind the scenes techky stuff to enable another great (relatively glitch free!) season…

Happy New Year!

Cheers,
