“And the reason is clear, it’s because you are here…”

 

 

 

“Neon”:

*** spoiler alert! ***

I’m writing this like it’s that sweet time of year just before you open your presents… y’know, like keeping it “real” like when the World Cup happened in the summer?!

 

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 Bournemouth v Everton as 0-1 & Preston to beat Millwall 1-0…

& PASers hit the “more than 30 points” mark this week so maybe you should ask Ric P, who took full advantage of injury-time goals but then faded, or Dom W, who lost out on a share of the spoils thanks to that last kick of the game winner for Man Yoo, or Justin C, who was fortunate with missing the WBA game, forged ahead courtesy of Burnley but ended up narrowly missing out thanks to pledging allegiance to Brighton & Chelsea…

However, as Reading netted an 94th minute winner at the KC MKM Stadium and a Super Sunday string of predictions, the miracle of Christmas left Lee Taylor 37 (7) out front courtesy of just one correct score…

 

Ding dong! (merrily on high…)

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Tasty…most popular score was The Arsenal’s 0-2 win at Wolves– 35 of us got that!

 

 

Thirteen just knew Southampton would score against Liverpool in a 3-1 defeat

5 decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Huddersfield v Swansea. And they did…

Four snaffled up the 5 points served up by Burnley 3 Blackburn 0

George T, Greg F & Luke S put us all to shame by predicting St Mirren 1 Rangers 1

Julian F & John N said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Bournemouth 3 Everton 0

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Greg Fleming for his I-can-cross-the-divide-in-equal-measures inspired, Celtic 2 Ross County 1!

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Greg Fleming was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 13 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

The boy done good!

 

 

So, £8.20 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on a merry £8.20!

 

 

Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.

Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…

 

 

 

Table News:

THREE crashed the Top ten!

 

 

“Greatest Hits”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 25 places is Justin Corliss – honourable mentions go to Richard H (+10), John J (+11), Mike K (+10), Julian F (+21), Dom W (+19), Lee T (+14) and Ric P (+10)

“PEA’d off!”

 

 

“My Insatiable One”:

Who said “no one wins a week if they get the Friday night correct score!”?? 

It happened again! <slopes off sheepishly to the corner>

In a week where only one punter scored over 30 points, to get a 9 pointer off the first game is a proper bonus, yeah?!

Unfortunately for the rest of us, the person to get that correct score was the person who scored over 30 points.

Not only that, he added in another nine pointer, a 5 pointer and then had the audacity to miss out 3 games on Sunday!

Dan Hogwood 40 (5) swatted away the likes of me (yeah! me!), Stephen P and Rob C to collect the £20 weekly prize and leave me the only Board member not to win a week this season.

No, I won’t call him “Fix-It Felix” either…

 

 

 

“The Drowners”:

Meanwhile, absolute carnage ensued at the other end of the table.

A whopping 46 PASers failed to score more than 15 points and TWENTY EIGHT didn’t register a correct score!

Four failed to get into double figures.

Worst of the bunch though were George Triantafillou & Danny Bushell 8 (0)

Feeling wrecked?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bloomin’ hell…most popular score was Norwich’s 1-2 win at Rotherham – 32 of youse got that!

 

Twelve got Wrexham 3 Oldham 0

6 lapped up the injury time joy of Forest 2 Brentford 2

Four of us will shout out loud about the rollercoaster ride of Hearts 3 Motherwell 2

Alex R & Luke S got the dull-all at The Den

Simon Lindq & Paul C were well away with the 1-4 away win for Toon

Dan H & Mike K thrilled at the thrilling Wolves 2 Brighton 3

Julian F nabbed the form book upsetting St Johnstone 2 Rangers 1

Debbie L believed in Coventry. A 0-1 kinda belief…

Lisa W (welcome!) said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for her Sunderland 0 Cardiff 1

Damian H just knew QPR wouldn’t score against WBA for a 0-1

Reagon K probably celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 0-2 at Goodison

Julian F revelled in the schadenfreude of Haaland’s late late show v Fulham

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dan Hogwood for his I-don’t-have-to-tinker-with-the-back-end-to-do-well inspired, Aberdeen 4 Hibs 1!

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dan Hogwood was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Another fail (pretty galling after reading this far down isn’t it!)

 

 

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th, leaving it on £0 – one to avoid people!

 

 

Greg Fleming is at 33rd this week…

Rasiak, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

 

We need a winner! A big winner!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“It Starts And Ends With You”:  Dan Wayman stays top, but now only 3 points ahead of Jason M who, in turn, is five points ahead of Scott H in third…let the final battle commence!

 

 

 

One crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Trash”:  Pete Clarke slides two places to the bottom, two correct scores behind Dan M who, in turn, is, 3 correct scores off Frankie F…game on!

 

 

 

 

“New Generation”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Dan Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Damian H (+16), Simon Linds (+19), Mike K (+10), and El Presidente (+10)

 

 

 

 

“We Are The Pigs”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping(?!) 12 places are Rowan Marriott & Chris Dixon  – dishonourable mentions go to Danny B (-11), Kate S (-11), Ben McK (-10), and George T (-10)

“Da Doo Ron Ron..”

 

“Weak Become Heroes”:

Who said “no one wins a week if they get the Friday night correct score!”?? <slopes off sheepishly to the corner>

Even though that was an actual fact, that fact is now not factual – and it’s kinda my fault…

A big big 22 players smashed in thirty points or more this week (so if you didn’t, you really missed out).

Li’l Lily T, Aussie George T & Haaland-like Dan W all made claims to the weekly £20 prize with strong upper 30s tallies.

But one “player” went through the forties wall – all thanks to me forgetting to do their scores on Friday night. Eeek!

Those four points weren’t the deciding factor (3 x 5 pointers were!) in victory though…phew!

Predictz 44 (7) really have stepped their game up this season (much to my chagrin as I can’t chide them anymore) and now have a “double” to celebrate to boot.

Their second weekly win of the season is also the gain of someone living on the streets too –  I shall be handing out the winnings in Bristol this week rather than to the traditional recipient in Manchester.

Kinda make you feel warm inside and bit Christm umm, nice…

 

Well done us!

 

 

 

“Dry Your Eyes”:

It was a high scoring week – even at the bottom!

Everyone made it to double figures!

Only 5 punters didn’t register a correct score!

 

Least fortunate this week?

 

Francesca Fernandez 13 (0) keeps the family trait of “not quite on it” going and takes up a more than familiar position in the table…

 

That’s ma gal!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bumperiest in a bumper week…most popular score was Celtic’s 0-3 win at St Johnstone – 19 of us got that!

 

Five got very annoying last minute spoiling Norwich 3 Stoke 1

5 more doffed a cap to Hibernian’s 3-0 deconstruction of Livingston

Mark J B, Rich L & Martin S got Stockport 3 Sutton 0

Dan H, Matthew S & Emma T quite rightly predicted Arsenal’s 5-0 thrashing of Nottm Forest

Neil O, Paul V & Reagon K somehow stumbled on Rangers 4 Aberdeen 1 (how????)

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Predictz for their we-may-be-selling-out-to-the-man-on-our-ad-addled-website-but-we-justify-it-like-this inspired, Fulham 0 Everton 0!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Julian Fernandez was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 11 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Nah, bruv…

 

 

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th, leaving it on £23.85 – oh, what could’ve been!

 

 

Dan Hogwood is at 45th this week…

Danielsan, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

 

We need a winner Dan!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Fit But You Know It”:  Dan Wayman climbs one place to the summit, 15(!) points ahead of Scott H who, in turn, is three correct scores ahead of Jason M in third.

 

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Has It Come To This?”:  Dan Miller stays bottom, one point behind Frankie F who, in turn, is, 4 points off Pete C…

 

 

 

 

“Let’s Push Things Forward”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 34 places is Predictz – honourable mentions go to George T (+11), Lily T (+10), Matthew S (+15), Rob C (+18), Mark S (+11), Dan H (+10), John K (+14), Martin S (+12) and Andy F (+13)

 

 

 

 

“Blinded By The Lights”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 21 places is Orla McKeown – dishonourable mentions go to Shashi A (-10), Paul F (-15), Stuart F (-14), Dom W (-14), Pete B (-10), and Nick H (-10)

“There’s no going back now Scotland…”

 

“How High”:

It was a pretty average week this week, even Mr 2-0 sat happily on 23 points.

Bah.

But average it was not at the top of the weekly pile – it was a right ol’ ding dong!

Only eight players breached 30 points or more and 4 of them went at it…sort’ve.

Vying for top spot all the way were Simon B & Jason M – then they both produced a “Not Super” Sunday….

Rob C was flying – only to rue missing out predicting on five whole games!

Exciting eh?!

On to Monday then, and that left Peter Morley 36 (7) in nervous hope for 91 minutes surely not envisaging VAR stepping in to award West Ham a 2-0 win with that 92nd minute penalty – but they did.

And those four points propelled him to the top and the £20 prize was claimed!

The cherry on the icing of some pie n mash (loads o’ liquor)!

 

 

 

“Hell Is Round The Corner”:

Usually, I feel weak from the weekly pain of being a bit rubbish.

But this week a whopping 40 players couldn’t even reach the 20 points mark and I wasn’t one of them – whoop whoop!

Alas, a fantastic four didn’t get a correct score.

One didn’t make double figures…

Lagging way off the pace this week was Max Morgan 7 (0).

 

Welcome to the Big Boys League Maximus, the honeymoon is over kid…

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Blimey…most popular score was Blackburn’s 2-1 win over Birmingham– 27 of youse got that!

 

 

Fifteen banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Sheff U & Norwich

10 just knew Brighton would score against Citeh for a 3-1

Pete B, Debbie L & Tim P lapped up the injury time joy of Leeds 2 Fulham 3

Paul C nabbed the form book upsetting Man U v Man C Salford 0 Stockport 2

Dan C saw VAR do no harm in the 1-2 game at Hibs on Friday night

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Tom Wooldridge-Stevens for his don’cha-just-love-a-non-Scottish-stalemate inspired, Middlesbrough 0 Huddersfield 0!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Paul Henshaw was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

He delivered…

 

Home wins for

Blackburn – hooray!

Boro – boooo!

Swansea – hooray!

 

 

So, £3.45 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd, leaving it on £8.76 – nearly pays for a PAS World Cup entry that!

 

 

Julian Fernandez & Gareth Morgan are at 60th this week…my bruv was first out the hat, so…

JuJu, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

 

Can you add to the sizeable chunk already on there?!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Overcome”:  Jason Morris moves up one to the top, 2 points ahead of Dan W who, in turn, is one point ahead of Scott H in third.

 

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Aftermath”:  Dan Miller slips a place to the bottom, six points behind Pete C who, in turn, is, 2 points off Matthew M…

 

 

 

 

“C’mon Baby”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Peter Morley – honourable mentions go to Andy K (+11), Pete B (+11), Mark J B (+10), Lee F (+10), and Rob C (+19)

 

 

 

 

“Slow”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping (?!) 16 places are John King & Justin Corliss – dishonourable mentions go to Martin S (-11), Neil O (-14), Darren McC (-12), Reagon K (-13), Ryan G (-12), Stuart F (-10), and Max M (-14)

“Touche!”

 

“Dinner With Gershwin”:

You know how PAS is set up so the “best, most deserving” are rewarded at the end of the season?

Well, I got my sums wrong and now I’d like to change it to the least deserving to reap the rewards! <rubs hands together as the Fernandez clan will 100% clean up>

What?!

U-turn?

Moi?!!!

Luckily PAS Towers is a paragon of sense and justice and fairness, (plus there are two Board members bigger than me), so madness cannot ensue…

 

Poor attempt at satire aside –

Only four people managed 30 points or more in a week which saw a dearth of correct scores.

Neil M was even more excitable than a “Leo” on the Guinness, Matthew S spied some sibling schadenfreude, and Jazz S threatened to take the throne back for at least a week…

Edging them all out though was Olly Osmond 34 (6) – a Forest missed penalty, Ronnie’s “cheek” chalked off and the lovely VAR at Leeds all contributing to a narrow win and that £20 prize.

 

Bravo Mr O, wanna buy a white label of Chemical Brothers, “Song To The Siren”?

 

 

 

 

“Love’s Unkind”:

Yuck of a week across the board with 15 punters posting fifteen points or less.

Someone who needs to be less Truss and more Nandy is Martin Stafford 8 (0) who was not only bottom of the pile, but the only one with zero correct scores…

 

Pied!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse…most popular score was Wolves’ 1-0 win over Forest – 22 of youse got that!

 

Seven celebrated the bore draw between St Mirren & Kilmarnock

Howard T, Darren McC & Emma T just knew Stockport would score against Grimsby for a 1-3

Andy C, Danny A & Ric P got Fulham’s “Desmond” with Bournemouth

Tim P snaffled up the 5 points served up by Port Vale & Forest Green

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Neil Templeton for his he-took-the-words-right-out-my-mouth-on-What’s-App inspired, Leicester City 0 Crystal Palace 0!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Ben McKeown was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 9 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Controversially just missed…

“I fancy us (Toon) to win tomorrow BUT I’m not betting on that. We’ll go for a lower league North-Eastern triumvirate….”

 

South Shields (Road to Wembley) – in!

Middlesbrough (Road to Nowhere) – out!

Darlo (Road to the Vanarama!) – out!*

 

*Usually, Bet 365 offers a payout if your team goes 2 goals up in a game, but in this case, it didn’t apply!

And Darlo let a 0-2 lead slip for a 2-2 draw…

Quaked.

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd, leaving it on sweet nothing – still a chance though!

 

 

Paul Henshaw is at 83rd this week…

Mr H, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

“Scary monsters…”

 

 

 

“Info Freako”:

Oooooh the heady heights of four correct scores had me wondering “just maybe” –  just like Man Yoo at 13.59 on Sunday…

Could it happen?! Will I get the chance to shine, banish my self doubt and silence the haters, the cynics, the critics?

Nah.

Like them, it was a cursory cameo, when what was required was something spectacular… like a Larry Blackmon codpiece (see what I did there?!)

 

Anyway…

At least four punters put me in my proper place, cocking a snook with their 3o plus point tallies.

But, one person clocked up forty points this week!

Aberdeen 4-1, an inevitable PNE shut out and that Granit Xhaka goal all added up to a convincing victory.

 

Paul Carter 40 (5) swooped in like Scaramouch & Bowen preying on a shot (shy) Wolves to snatch up this week’s £20 prize  – Magnifico!

Bonzer! Flaming galahs! Neighbours! Schooners! Crocodile Dundee! Nuns In A Scrum! Kylie! Prawns on a bar-b! “Bowling, Shane” etc etc…

 

 

 

 

“Never Enough”:

Loads of 15 points or less scores this week – twenty three in fact!

It was looking a lot like Pete C & Ryan G hand in hand in the corridor of uncertainty, heading for the long walk of weekly shame (it takes 7 days apparently)…

But their dual blushes were spared as newbie Paul Flaherty 10 (0) strolled in with some “the honeymoon’s over” form to plough that furrow on his ownsome.

Howay, man!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Yesssssssss…most popular score was Chelsea’s 1-2 win at Paliss (still love you Conor!) – 28 of us got that!

 

Eight revelled in the schadenfreude of Arsenal’s superb derby win

7 got the dull-all not at Deepdale, but at the Stadium of Light

Five lapped up the injury time joy of Reading 3 Huddersfield 1

Neil T, Hira y & Orla McK thrilled at the thrilling Burton Albion 3 Forest Green Rovers 2

Dave N & Dom W celebrated the bore draw between Bournemouth & Brentford

Sam O turned up Leeds 0 Villa 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there…

Paul C quite rightly predicted Aberdeen’s 4-1 thrashing of Kilmarnock

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to ME! for my it’s-my-ball-and-i’ll-go-in-if-you-don’t let-me inspired, Celtic 2 Motherwell 1!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Peter Morley was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

He stuck with the horses and we won again!

 

Rohaan @ Ascot 3pm – won

Mellow Yellow @ Newmarket 4.27pm – didn’t win

Alpinissta @ Longchamps 3.05pm – won!

 

 

So, £11 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th– taking it to a handsome £34.85 – wow!

 

Lee Taylor is at 45th this week…

Mr T , I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

We’re on a roll!

“Kwasi times we live in…”

 

 

 

“Flourescent Adolescent”:

Away from the libertarianism, ’twas a thrilling week so it ’twas (no, I don’t know why i’m speaking like that either…) and most thrilled was li’l Lily Templeton 36 (6) who just sneaked past the unlucky Neil M & Debbie L to lay claim to this week’s £20.

Quite how she managed it is beyond me. It was courtesy of one & two correct scores respectively, but the maths scrambled my brain. And as you’ll see below, my (football) brain has deserted me, and then some…

Let’s just say it was England losing 1-0 in Italy.

Enough to please most of Ireland to be fair…

 

So well done Lily, you’re definitely your mother’s daughter!

Are you going to pay for your dad’s ticket to the upcoming beabadoobee gig @ Ulster Hall?!

 

Oh, and only 10 bods managed 30 points or more this week. Eeek!

 

 

 

“505”:

If you’re one of the ten who got fifteen points or less this week, this is going to hurt you!

 

Dan Miller, Mike Krasnowski & Paul Carter 10 (0) must be in stitches…

 

Oh, and four “players” didn’t notch a correct score. Ouch!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

What am I going to do?…most popular score was Scotland’s last minute 2-1 win over Ireland – 25 of youse got that!

 

 

Twenty one had Sheff Wed’s 3-1 win over Wycombe

15 were well away with the 0-4 away win for Estonia in San Marino

Rich L & Will O got Azerbaijan 3 Kazakhstan 0 (you try typing that right first time!)

Reagon K just knew the Netherlands would keep a clean sheet for a 1-0 v Belgium

Luke S nabbed the ridiculous form book upsetting Cyprus 1 Greece 0

Chris D was well away with the 0-1 away win for Poland in Wales

Debbie L thanked the Lord for Ireland’s Robbie Brady’s 91st minute penalty for a 3-2 v Armenia (who needs Grealish & Rice, eh?!)

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Pete Clarke for his I-did-this-for-a-laugh-and-the-goats inspired, Faroe Islands 2 Turkey 1!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Patricia Fernandez was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 6 so we asked her to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Whooo yeah baby!

 

Three each-way gee-gees from Saturday’s racing and we were soooo close to full house…

 

Persian Force@Newmarket 3pm – placed!

Dancinginthewoods@Haydock 3.15pm – missed a place by a length!

Sunset@Curragh 3.20pm – placed!

 

So, £3.80 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd bringing it up to £5.31 – encouraging…

 

 

Peter Morley is at 60th this week

Pete, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

Can you add to the bumper haul already on there?!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“A Certain Romance”:  Charlie Harris stays out in front, now 7 points ahead of Scott H who, in turn, is one point ahead of Simon B in third.

 

Two crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

“From The Ritz To The Rubble”:  Matthew Murphy remains bottom, three points behind John J who, in turn, is 1 point off….ME!!!

 

 

 

“I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 36 places is Lily Templeton – honourable mentions go to Neil M(+26), Debbie L (+24), Tony M (+24), Tim P (+22), and John K (+21)

 

 

 

“Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 30 places are Paul Carter & Orla McKeown – dishonourable mentions go to Mike K (-23), Matthew S (-22), Martin S (-22), and Julian F (-21)

“700 beers, bro…”

 

 

 

“Chocolate Girl”:

In what turned out to be a peach of a week for most with outstanding correct scores, only ten bods clocked up 30 points or more.

Wunderkind, Max M, did his bestest to claim the week’s win (again!) but fell short to a resurgent Scott H. Scott was probably counting the number of bars on his heater he could put on with his bounty, when up popped Predictz 41 (8) to take the spoils and snatch the £20. 

The usually predictable “not very good at predicting” website we use as a barometer finally had something to crow about…three of their 6 correct scores were five pointers!

So, as many of you know, any “not real person” winner donates their winnings to charity…Alex R & Rowan M will be glad to hear our homeless mate in St Anne’s Square is still about and keeping his head above water and was a very happy recipient this afternoon.

“It gives me a sense of enormous well-being and then I’m happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of PAS devoted to him…” <smiley emoji>

 

 

“Dignity”:

A crippling week for some, especially the 13 of us who scored no more than 15 points.

Two didn’t manage a single correct score.

In what turned out to be a mournful week for most, imagine if you went from Week 1 hero to Week 6 zero??! Imagine if that was you, Hira Yonzan 12(0)!

Well, it was you H… <Miguel Almiron’s face shocked emoji>

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I’m done…most popular score was Man City’s 0-3 win at Wolves– 30(!) of youse got that!

 

 

Seventeen said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Northampton 3 Rochdale 0

14 snaffled up the 5 points served up by Watford & Sunderland

Thirteen we’re so happy for Sheffield Wednesday 2-2 Ipswich Town, they will actually wear that ballet dress…

5 had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at St Andrew’s

Five more turned up St Johnstone 0 Ross County 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Another 5 were grateful for the 3-1 Hibees win over Aberdeen

Olly O, Paul C & Max M celebrated the bore draw between Stockport & Harrogate Town

Danny B, Kate S & Luke S got the dull-all at The Riverside

Reagon K & Orla McK revelled in the schadenfreude of Arsenal’s 0-3 win at  Ivan Toney’s Brentford

Orla McK (again!) celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 0-3 Motherwell v Hearts

David G decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at QPR. And he did…

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Ben Mckeown for his I-always-loved-Wor-Mitro inspired, Nottm Forest 2 Fulham 3!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Pete Britton 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?!

 

We stumbled and fell…

 

“I’ll go for three draws this week…”

 

Everton v West Ham – nope

Wigan v Reading – nope

Sheffield Wednesday v Ipswich – yup, just…

 

 

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

 

Pete Clarke, Patricia Fernandez & John King are at 83rd this week – Mrs F was first out the hat, so…

Mum!, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

This is gonna be good!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Real Gone Kid”:  Charlie Harris moves up 1 place to the summit, 2 points ahead of Max M who, in turn, is two points ahead of Hira Y in third.

 

Two crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Fergus Sings The Blues”:  Matthew Murphy remains rock bottom, now four points behind John J who, in turn, is 5 points off Eddie O…

 

 

“Loaded”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 48 places is Predictz – honourable mentions go to John N (+26), Paul C (+23), Ben McK (+22), Dave C (+29), Darren McC (+31), and Dom W (+21)

 

 

“Raintown”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 25 places are Shashi Arora & Justin Corliss – dishonourable mentions go to Mark J B (-20), Andy F (-23), Will O (-22), Rowan M (-23), and Andy C (-22)

“we know Martin, we know…wicked top though mate!”

 

 

 

“Moonrise”:

I’ll get this out the way early doors – it was a robbery of a weekend! There, said it. Breathe now Geordies and Hammers…

 

Anyway, one person who was all about nicking a win this week was Stephen P – he smashed in two injury time correct score predictions and the only “feasible” 5 pointer bore draw!

But was it enough?

Well, no. Obv.

 

Only a select quartet scored 30 points or more this week and coming out toppermost was beaming newcomer, Max Morgan 36 (7)!

 

Pipping Stevie P by 4 points, young Max has West Brom’s 98th(!) minute equaliser on Friday to thank for the £20 weekly prize!

 

Well done Max – are you going to give your “score” to your dad so he can get a Richarlson “doo”!    : )

 

 

 

“Vacationer”:

A crippling week for some, especially the 28 of us who scored no more than 15 points.

Twelve didn’t manage a single correct score.

Kate S & Emma T flopped with 8 (0)

Alex R & John D drooped to 8 (0) as well.

 

But David Goggin 7 (0) was most deflated this week as he props up the baddest of a bad bunch.

 

VAR, David?

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Hmmmppphhh…most popular score was Chelsea’s 2-1 win over West Ham– 24 of youse got that!

 

Eighteen got Norwich’s 3 goal demolition of Coventry (yessssssssssssss, of course I had four…)

Darren McC & John K  doffed a cap to St Johnstone’s 3-0 deconstruction of St Mirren

Stephen P & Frankie F turned up Motherwell 0 Dundee Utd 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Mark J B nabbed the form book upsetting, record busting, PNE 0 Birmingham 1

Sam O decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Newcastle. And he did…

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his yes!-Bristol-City-ALWAYS-concede-in-the-last-minute-except-when-Pab-wants-them-to-inspired, Blackburn 2 Bristol City 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Orla McKeown was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 3 so we asked her to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Our first fail of the season…

 

“She’s very much her own person so she’s gone with a derby, away win weekend special…two prods and a lapsed Catholic (possibly open for much debate!).”

 

But fair play to her sticking to her guns and ignoring “belief” bias – and we salute that…unless you want to win of course!

 

Rangers @ Celtic – sorry hun, not this time

Liverpool @ Everton – a bluenose shut out

Sunderland @ Boro  – smog on the tyne tees was all fine, unfortunately

 

 

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

 

Sam Arora & Pete Britton are at 33rd this week – Pete was first out the hat, so…

Mr “Dream Team”, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

Can you get us back on track?
