PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’15 Week 3 round up

Written by

“Smart Thing”:

There’ll be dancing on the streets of L6, Kirkby & um, Dubai this week! Not because Romelu has scored another correct score winning goal (it was Naismith this week!), more cos ex-Guardian Scouse favourite has come good! Mark J Brown 52(6) missed the first 4 games (!) but picked up 18 points from 2 games over the duration that ultimately put him way in front of the peleton gathered on the mid-to-late forties mark (yes, you Charlie H, Tony D & Rowan M!)

Congrats lah, £20 towards shipping a cheesy nudger from Greggs over to the Middle East?!

 

 

“Slowness”:

Really really not the week to lose ground! So not getting 20 or more points was always gonna put a real dampener on proceedings…

Neil Osborne 18 (0) really should be in your thoughts as you look down on him with your 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 correct scores… let’s hope he nailed an acca with the bookies then!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

“I was ONE goal out of 17 results this week….” Yeah, yeah, yeah –  you, me & 80 others mate…  – most popular score was Eng-er-land’s 0-3 win in the town of Lithuania – 23 of youse got that!

Sixteen got Austria 3 Liechtenstein 0

13 got Spain’s 4-0 deconstruction by a million passes of Luxembourg

11 had Belgium to beat Israel three goals to one

6 got pompey’s 1-3 win at Cambridge & six more have Steven effing Naismith to thank for Scotland’s 0-6 in Spa, i mean, Gibraltar.

Five got the 2-2 thriller at Gigg Lane & 5 more got the Azzuri’s 1-3 win in the often misplet Azerbaijan

4 got the 3-2 at Bramall Lane

Rob C / Dave N / Richard H got the 2-2 between Yeovil & Dagenham.

Josh H & Charlie H made us all green by happening upon Switzerland 7 San Marino 0

Mark F kinda guesshed Holland 2-3 Czech Republic

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Tony Davenport for his sending off assisted shock, Crawley 3 Orient 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

 

Erm, cos it was such a fractured week I decided to put 3 draws on off my own scores, and erm, only one came in? Soz…

Back to normal this wee, we will persist…!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’15 Week 2 round up

Written by

“Heart & Soul”:

There’ll be dancing on the streets of Birkenhead, Merseyside & um, Manor Park this week! Not because Being Brendan has taken leave of Anfield, more cos the Guardian’s own whipping boy has come good! Alex Rossi 35(5) ironically has Everton’s Romelu Lukaku to thank (this is becoming a regular thing!) for the 1-1 that nudged him in front of the unlucky Peter M (who managed to notch 7 correct scores – how??!).

Congrats amico mio, one to tell that Norn Iron housemate of yours about??!

 

“Disorder”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well do it like, erm, Man Utd? Newcastle?!

From the sublime to the ridiculous. Neil Critchlow obviously spent his twenty quid from last week’s win on brain eating meths as he joined Paul Carter on 9 (0). Ooooof!!

 

Correct Score of the Week:

It was really difficult this week, non? – most popular score was Burnley’s win in the town of Rotherham – 26 of us got that!

10 got the 3-1 at Hillsborough

8 got the 2-2 between Swansea & Spurs.

Jamie T & Debbie L got Wigan 0 Walsall 0

Neil H (welcome!) & Mark S got Charlton 2-2 Fulham

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season, goes to Simon Lindsay for his outrageous, Chelsea 1 Southampton 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular amongst the 78 of you who entered predictions and guess what?! Big big fail!

Yep, turns out 78 can be as wrong as 20 odd of you!

Hmmmm, we will persist…!

 

 

Table News:

“Candidate”: Satisfyingly Peter Morley moves up 3 places to go 6 points ahead of Ian P who in turn is three points ahead of Andy C in third.

Alex R, Paul h & Ryan G crash the Top Ten.

 

“She’s Lost Control”: Ooops! Norman Lee goes down to the bottom of the pile (actually he went up 3 places but we’ve lost some randoms who said they wanted to play then went off somewhere to play twatty Fantasy Football or something…) one correct score behind the luvved up Dan H (see what it does to ya Dan??!) who in turn is 2 points off & Debbie L.

 

“A Means To An End”: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 34 places is Alex Rossi – honourable mentions go to Paul H (+24), George T (+28), Mark S (+32), Sam C (+20), Jamie S (+30) and Stuart F (+22)

 

“New Dawn Fades”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 33 places is Francesca Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Paul C (-26), Andy F (-25), Martin S (-28), Paul V (-22), Shashi A (-20) and Danny A (-21) – see what getting married does to ya Danny?!

PAS L13 W15 Week 1 round up

Written by

We’re off and running!

“Scary Monsters”: He’s a bit of monster that Romelu fella eh?! What’s even more monsterous is the fact he single handedly (is that a word?) got Everton out of the proverbial hole for a 2-3 win on Monday! And you know what 2-3 means don’t ya? Yep, 9 whole points! For one match! Imagine that?! One person who didn’t have to imagine, merely bask in smug realisation, was Neil Critchlow 39(6) who, courtesy of Msr L, stole in to take the £20 weekly prize when it looked like Pete B had it in the onion bag. Well done Neil, a fine week to win as you don’t have pay me your entry fee now (well, only £3!)!

 

“Super Freaks”: Is your surname Lee? Oh dear! Well…one of your clan finished above Howard T’s measly nine point haul this week! However, Debbie Lee 5 (0) will probably be forced to change her name after this absolute shocker – oops!

 

Correct Score of the Week: Wow! Quite a few correct scores knocking about (despite the mad scorelines)… most popular score was Man Utd’s 3-0 win over Sunderland – 32 of us got that!

7 got the 1-3 in Milton Keynes and 6 got the “Desmond” between West Ham & Norwich.

Dave C, Tony D (welcome!) & Neil M got the 2-2 in the Toon and Jamie T, Alex R & Neil M (again!) got the three-nil between Boro & Dirty Leeds

Gary B & Paul V got the 3-1 involving Southampton & Swansea.

Francesca F & Tony D (again!) just knew Ipswich would draw 2-2 with Bristol City and Simon Linds & Neil T got a fine Bolton 2 Brighton 2 (lots of 2-2s eh?!)

Tony D (again! again! Blimey!) got Inverness Caley’s 2-1 thriller v previously unbeaten Aberdeen.

Steve M got Burnley 1 Reading 2.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Lukaku worshipping, Neil Critchlow for his what-the-hell inspired, WBA 2 Everton 3.

 

Bet of the Week: We’ve got a new system. We tested it this week. It works. And it gives real time indication of exactly who you lot think will win, lose or draw! And, best of all, you don’t have to do anything at all (well, except put your predictions in on time!)

We’re gonna roll it out it in Week 2!

Expect, ahem, the coffers to be swelled and the bookies to be cowering! 

 

Table News:

It’s Week 1 – it is what it is! Click here for details…

Please be aware we may lose some players (rubbish people) but we may gain some (Mr 2-0 can’t be that bad again!) so if you know anyone out there who wants to get involved, put them in touch tout suite!

Lots of payments have come in – thanks! Anyone who hasn’t got round to it, please do as soon as possible – don’t make me chase you!

 

Cheers,

Pab

Football season started this weekend and…

Written by

…Predict-A-Score will be back in your life at the end of September!

Bet you can’t wait eh? Well, start saving your pennies cos the obligatory 4,378 reminders will be winging their way over to you soon but until then, have a go on this…

Dream Team 2015-2016

“Stop enjoying the reality of the Ashes and Froome dominating the Tour de France, it’s time to start dreaming! Yes that’s right, the 2015-2016 is only a few weeks away. So, set yourself some time aside before August 8th (the entry deadline) to come up with the killer combination for 2015-2016. The format is the same but it doesn’t get any easier I’m afraid!

It’s still only £5 per entry so if you’re struggling to narrow your options down, you can always have 2 (or more) goes! And as usual, you are actively encouraged to pass it around to friends, family, work colleagues and pretty much anyone else – the more the merrier!

Oh yeah, before I go, I finally got around to do some analysis of the 2014-2015 season and it makes very interesting reading. James Wood won the overall competition with a seemingly impressive total of 3701 points. However, there were an incredible 192,784 combinations that would have beaten James! Some of which cost as little as £70,000 – the blindingly obvious choice of Stoke, Crystal Palace, WBA, Watford, Bournemouth, Brentford, Rochdale, Gillingham, Rochdale and Wycombe would have cost you £70K, netted you 3757 points, and won you £160! But the best possible combination would have been home and hosed before Easter, finishing with a massive 4583 points. That elusive combination? No Chelsea. No City. Not even Arsenal. The best possible combination of teams for the 2014-2015 season would have been Stoke, Swansea, Crystal Palace, Watford, Bournemouth, Brentford, Bristol City, MK Dons, Wycombe and Exeter. Food for thought …

At the other end of the table, Carole Williams finished bottom with 1591 points but I hope that this next paragraph will make her feel a bit better. Carole’s selection was actually only the 594,759th worst combination (and that is just for the combinations costing the full £100K!). Yes, that’s right, there were nearly 6 hundred thousand worse combinations than Carole’s. Or to put it another way, well over half a million! And what was the lowest of the low? It reads like a who’s who of underachievers and these clubs featured prominently in the managerial sacking speculation (and actuality) stakes for pretty much the entire season. Netting a pathetic total of 620 points were … Newcastle, Aston Villa, QPR, Wigan, Millwall, Blackpool, Crewe, Yeovil, Tranmere and Hartlepool.

Right, that’s it from me for now, time to get those football brains ticking over again …” – Pete Britton

 

If you want to get involved (and believe me you do!) email Pete ([email protected]) and ask him for an entry form!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Final Table round up

Written by

Final Table News:

 

“The Special One”: He started in the Top Ten (7th), climbed to 3rd, then went top for the rest of the season (bar a dip to 2nd in Week 8!) AND reached the PAS CL Quarter Finals. At one point Tony B’s points record for a season looked in danger! You really can say he’s consistent & will clearly be loved by “The Syndicate” this summer…

 

Hats off & congrats to Jason Morris 369 (54) – you’re a winner!

 

Jason ended on a 15 point lead over, ahem, our very own Dan Hogwood in second place, who I reckon just couldn’t bring himself (cough) to actually go on and win it (I mean, how would it look??!) who in turn finished 11 points ahead of Simon Buxton in third place. He now has a Champions League Final against his son Jack to look forward too. A fine season sir…

 

Just nine points further behind, Ian Pratt defied all previous form to finish in fourth spot with relative newcomer Peter Morley scooping 5th place just ahead of old skooler Ryan Graves in 6th who was a further 2 points behind.

 

Jack Buxton finished in seventh (Spring & The Buxtons seem made for each other!) 2 points above prolific Top Tenner Dan Pelgrom in eighth.

 

Two points behind, finishing ninth, was Winter ’14 winner Stephen Mullan (who is among an ever growing elite group of new-boys lapping up the rich pickings – come on old guard, lets start to claw some of our money back!) and a further 2 points back James Lee landed in 10th place – which is just lovely along with his PAS Cup Final appearance on his debut in this competition (speaking of which, James leapfrogged his Cup Final opponent Ben H courtesy of a single point! An omen?), netting the last of the “big prizes”…

 

 

“The Bibs & Cones One”: You have to say even our champion couldn’t match the consistency level of my daughter Francesca Fernandez 217 (20) who takes the wooden spoon for the second season in a row! Saying that, I finished 50th (which is apt) and will be taking my place on the same naughty step…

 

Mark J B & Graham E made gallant efforts over the last few weeks to save li’l Frankie’s blushes but to no avail – the question now is, do I “update” the current spoon? Or buy another one?  Shocker!

 

 

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

 

Ben Hogwood on 11th, Gareth Morgan on 12th, Kate Hopper on 17th, Richard Hirst on 21st, Jamie Sellers on 25th, Charlie Harris on 33rd, Predictz on 34th, Neil Osborne on 38th, Darren Banham on 40th, Stephen Street on 45th, Paul Henshaw on 49th, Danny Ashworth on 57th, Stuart Fitzsimon on 61st, Steve Meaton on 65th, Vim Gupta on 67th, Gary Blackburne on 77th & Mark J Brown on 80th.

 

click here to view the full table & to see how much you won!

 

 

 

*** all prize money will be winging its way over this weekend – promise! ***

 

 

 

And Another Thing: The other little bits…

 

Darren Banham picked up an additional £15 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season –  58(9)

 

Stuart Fitzsimon picked up £10 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – Scotland 6 Gibraltar 1.

 

 

 

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…

 

Cheers,

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 13 round up

“Know What You Know”: You can tell it’s the end of the season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in. Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into the spring sunshine (well, maybe not in MCR). 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 got less than Mr 2-0 this week! Maybe Will Oppong 36 (4) can tell us how  he came up on the blindside to slip the last  £20 from Ryan G’s hands? My money’s on the fact he knew his beloved Gooners would concede to Hull and earn him 5 valuable points…

 

 

“Misfit”: It’s the end of the season, there are crazy scores expected and the sun is supposed to be out. Why bother doing your scores? Mark J Brown 8 (0) is wondering just that…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: Is it me or are the scores just mental… most popular score was Brentford’s 3-0 win over Wigan – 23 of youse got that!

20(!) got the 1-3 at The KC and four got the 3-0 between Partick & St Mirren.

James C / Neil C / Dave N got the 0-0 in Leeds and Ryan G & Sam A got the dramarama three-nil between Leicester & Newcastle.

Will O & Neil T have got Bradley J to thank for the 10 points at Norwich

Dave N got the Spurs 0 City 1.

Ben McK got Sunderland’s 2 – 1 win over Southampton. Oh, the irony…

Michelle F knew that party pooping Sheff Wed would draw with Watford.

Scott H got champions Bournemouth’s fine win over Charlton.

Gareth M pulled out a plum with Villa’s essential 3-2 win over Everton

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matt Worsfold for his wild punt on Celtic 5 Dundee 0.  You’re wild Matt, wild…

 

 

Bet of the Week: This week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

Votes: 16 (!)

3 away win selections: Arsenal 31% / Burton 23% / Man City 17%

Returns: £12.72. Whoo-hoo! A fine end to the season with a full house trixie! So, £17.01 up for grabs now on this slot then for that lucky lucky person!

To be fair it’s been pretty disastrous yet again so we’re going into a summer huddle to come up with something that’ll be a bit more lucrative for us all…

 

Table News:

“Free”: Ryan Graves, James Lee & Stephen Mullan crash the Top Ten – Will Oppong is the highest climber (+15) along with Sam A (+9) just ahead of Kate H & Dave N (+7) & then Jamie S, Michelle & Simon Lindq (+6)……

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 12 round up

Written by

“Instinction”: It’s bad enough watching a 0-0, realising your team is only *just* not good enough to win a big trophy and then having to witness Theo Walcott “partaking” in the action. It’s double bad enough when it transpires that Jose’s bus aided & abetted a sibling to a weekly win! Julian Fernandez 37 (7) has the Chelsea shut out to thank for his 1 correct score advantage over Alex T who himself was preparing to celebrate edging out Gareth M on 36 points. Football eh?!

 

“The Freeze”: Good news! Remember our Polish friend who fluked a weekly win the other week? Well he’s got a full time job! At least I think he has cos it appears he hasn’t got time to study the form any more. Rowan Marriott 9 (0) can console himself with the thought that zero hours is now a thing of the past…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: Sometimes I wonder if it’s really all worth it… most popular score was Ipswich’s 2-1 win over Forest – 24 of youse got that!

12 sniffed out the Desmond in West Yorkshire & twelve more did similar in Hampshire.

11 lapped up Burton’s 3-1 win over Northampton

6 got the hammering meted out to Bolton by The Cherries

5 got Dundee Utd 0 Celtic 3 in their 109th meeting of the season

4 pulled out a plum with City’s last gasp 3-2 win over Villa

Ben H, Jazz S & Nick H got Cardiff’s fine win over Blackpool.

Julian F & Peter M knew that Arsenal would draw with Chelsea 0-0.

Jon T got the The Hoops stalemate with The ‘Ammers.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Mark J Brown for his four-on-the-bounce inspired, Everton 3 Man Utd 0.

 

 

Bet of the Week: This week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

Votes: 27

3 home win selections: QPR 28% / Southampton 20% / Arsenal 15%

Prize Slot: 65th

Returns: £0. £3.00 up for grabs at the end of the season on this slot then for that lucky lucky person!

Don’t forget to cast your vote for the last time this season but make sure you do it by 10am on Saturday!

 

 

Table News:

“Chant No 1“: Jason Morris stays at the top now only 9 points ahead of Dan H, who in turn is now 12 points away from Simon B in third

 

Tony M crashes the Top Ten…

 

 

“Highly Strung“: Francesca Fernandez really is a step closer to realising her dream of back-to-back wooden spoons by remaining bottom five points adrift of Graham E who is 4 points behind Mark J B.

 

 

click here to view the full table

 

 

“Lifeline“: Highest climbers this week, up a whopping 17 places are Julian Fernandez & Alex Taylor – honourable mentions go to Simon L (+11), Neil O (+11) & Neil M (+13)

 

 

“Paint Me Down“: Falling furthest again this week, down a whopping 15 places is Olly Osmond – dishonourable mentions go to Predictz (-8), Ben McK (-9), Pab (-8) & Paul C (-9).

 

 

PAS Champions League 2014/15: Semi Final 2nd leg games concluded the ties …

Well lookee what we got here…

Simon Buxton 51 (6) – 47 (6) Jamie Sellers [2nd leg result 25 (2) – 20 (2)]

Tony Morris 60 (7) – 60 (9) Jack Buxton [2nd leg result 26 (2) – 18 (2)]

 

The Buxtons have made it a family affair in the Final thanks to an inspired Simon B Bournemouth correct score joker and Jack B holding off a spirited Tony M fightback virtue of just TWO correct scores! Blimey!

Congrats to our finalists – losers, you have been remunerated accordingly!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 11 round up

Written by

“X Marks The Spot”: If you’re at rock bottom then there really is only one way to go (are you reading this Frankie?!) and go he certainly did this week! Martin Stafford 37 (7) was one of only 3 people to hit 30 points or more (even I got 27 points!) in a very tight week of wheat & chaff sorting. No doubt making time to study scores whilst in Lancaster bus depots or sitting idly at bus stops while your passengers fume has paid rich dividends in the form of £20 – just the ticket Martin!

 

“Wake Up Soon”: As mentioned it was pretty tightly packed score-wise this week but you still didn’t want to be lagging behind on a single figure return (even Frankie got 10 points!). So, Darren Banham, Neil Osborne & Simon Lindsay 9 (0), can you do a “Martin S” next week?! Well, you’d better…..

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: Good work people… most popular score was Wolves’ 1-1 draw with Ipswich – 18 of us got that!

8 sniffed out the upset of Celtic & five more did similar in regard to Liverpool.

Stuart F & Jack B lapped up the other semi-final shock! In Scotland.

Martin S & Matt W got the hammering meted out to Newcastle on their own ground. By Spurs!

Rob C & Debbie L got Bristol City 0 Coventry City 0 (!)

Martin S (again) pulled out a plum with Arsenal’s ineptness against Reading

Shashi A got Boro’s fine win over Norwich.

Jamie T knew that Doncaster would draw with Fleetwood 0-0.

Scott H nailed Brentford 2 Bolton 2

Kate H got the Bluebirds stalemate with The Lions – grrrr!

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his this-would-be-the-best-in-any-other-season inspired, Blackburn 3 Nottm Forest 3.

 

 

Bet of the Week: This week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 10 round up

Written by

“The Sun Rising”: Proper good scrap for top spot this week with a whole host of contenders bunching in & around the high thirties/early forties mark. Ryan G edged away from the pack but unfortunatley for him his gamble on Man Utd & Ross County failing to win left the door open for Peter Morley 47 (10) to slip past and nab the weekly £20.

Well done Pierre, first person for a long long time (*I haven’t checked*) to land double figure correct scores in one week!

 

“Wake Up Soon”: Eeeewww! Not a good week to take your eye off the ball when everyone else is lording it up their fancy “over 20 points at least” tally. Mark J Brown 10 (1) probably didn’t even see the ball in the first place, but he has just got engaged so you can kinda understand it.

Hmmmmm…she’ll be telling him he doesn’t even like football next, throwing out his Everton jim-jams and taking away his online betting account – beware Markus!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: You really were “at” the bread n butter scores this week… most popular score was West Ham’s 1-1 draw with Stoke – 28 of us got that!

Moi, Sam C & Julian F got the hammering meted out to St Mirren on their own ground.

Paul C & Kate H got Reading 0 Blackburn 0.

Dan R & Ben McK pulled out a plum with Ipswich’s 3-2 over Blackpool

Julian F (again!) got Cardiff’s fine win over Leeds.

Clare T knew that Arsenal would beat Burnley by a solitary goal

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter (again!) for his Tim’s-revenge inspired, Spurs 0 Aston Villa 1.

 

 

Bet of the Week: This week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

Well, I for one learned something this weekend – you can’t see/access the BotW on tablet or mobile! Well, I couldn’t…

So, no bet was placed (and for the record Wolves let you down for a fine treble!) & the £3 goes onto the slot 33rd – full service resumed this weekend! Promise!

Don’t forget to cast your vote every week but make sure you do it by 10am on Saturday!

 

 

Table News:

“Sweet Harmony“: Jason Morris climbs maintains the summit slot 15 points ahead of Dan H, who in turn is one correct score in front of Simon B in third.

The fine Top 3 scrap looks like it will go to the wire but Ian P is coming up on the rails…

Jason M has hit the 300 point mark with 3 rounds to go – will Tony B’s seemingly insurmountable record points tally actually fall this season??!

 

Peter M, Jack B & Ryan G crash the Top Ten…

 

 

“Time After Time“: Martin Stafford remains stuck to the bottom one point adrift of Frankie F who is 3 points behind Savan A.

“Up, Up and Away“: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 15 places is Julian Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Sam A (+14), Howard T (+14), Jazz S (+14), Peter M (+13), Ryan G (+13), Steve M (+12) & Sam C (+12)

 

 

“You’ve Got Me Thinking“: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 13 places is Darren Banham – dishonourable mentions go to Charlie H (-11), Anders H (-10), Will O (-10) & Clare T (-10).

 

 

PAS Champions League 2014/15:  Semi Final 1st leg games kicked off …

We had a thriller down in Brighton and a famous double seems that little bit more out of reach now…

Jamie Sellers 27 (4) – 26 (4) Simon Buxton

Jack Buxton 42 (7) – Tony Morris 34 (5)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 9 round up

Written by

“Love, Reign o’er Me”: You have to admire a Polish lad coming over here taking care of his large family in the countryside, providing for them, sleeping on the floor when the kids need a good kip, running to the shops for provisions, earning a living selling those delicious chocolate covered plums to local newsagents and still finding the time & money to take part in a game involving just British teams. Teams he knows nothing about. Football really is the international language that knows no barriers or borders….

Congrats to Rowan Marriott 37 (7) i’m sure the £20 will come in handy for beetroot, swaddling & vodka mate – twoje zdrowie!

 

“Won’t Get Fooled Again”: Meanwhile two people who probably support bank-rolled EPL teams full of galacticos oblivious to the fact that Poland has an actual league, let alone predict the scores in it,  limped home in last place…

Shame on you Pete Britton & Jack Buxton 8 (0)! 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: A bit thin in on the ground this week… most popular score was Birmingham’s 2-1 win over Rotherham – 22 of youse got that!

17 got the hammering meted out to Villa at OT.

14 got Derby 2 Watford 2.

Six pulled out a plum with Palace’s shocking of Man City!

Ben McK & Matt W got Swansea’s fine win over Hull.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter for his lets-prime-Malky inspired, Middlesbro 1 Wigan 0.
