Leader of the Pack :

Vrooom! Vrooom! Neil Templeton (+8) moves 1 point ahead of Week 1 winner Ben A and 5 ahead of Simon L in third.

Flatpack :

Already 53 points off top spot is Donna Edmead (non mover) who is now just 1 point from Dave McS and 2 from Scott A at the bottom Packed Up : Highest climber, after his shocker last week, is Julian F (+14) to 17th – others of note are the leader (see above), Neil B (+7) on 11th, Will O (+9) on 19th and Lisa G (+11) on 21st.

Packed In :

Where one brother leads the other will follow – Danny Ashworth (-14) slips down to 29th – shamed faces also for Neil M / Week 2 winner Stephen P (-8) on 13th/14th respectively, Richard L (-9) on 25th, Michelle F (-7) on 30th and Mr 2-0 (-10) on 35th – good!

Close But A Cigar! :

Yep, the Cuban box provides once again – Mark G (+4) occupies 8th spot this week.

Spotters :

Neil B (+7) on 11th, Ben H (+1) on 23rd, El Presidente (+4 – I’m coming to getcha!) on 32nd and Ben McK (-1) on 39th.

North American Scum :

They’ll be dancing on the streets of East Belfast (well, one person, possibly two) as Neil Templeton 36(5) just nudges past Neil B (Wiganers robbed twice in one week – who’d’ve thought!) to take this weeks £20. Well done Neil, the dilemma for you now is spending it on a ticket for Reading away or a nice trinket for your new house?

LA Galaxy :

…meanwhile down on StalyVegas, Danny Ashworth 11(0) will be fearful of being tarred & feathered by angry (snubnosed) locals for bringing shame to their hamlet.

Correct Score of the Week:

Everyone got Chelsea (for the 2nd week running) and Matt W / Neil B got Leicester 3 Coventry 0. This weeks score of the week goes to Lisa Grey for her loyal and very optimistic PNE 1 Man Citeh 3. Are you really here?

Bet Of The Week:

Stephen P racked his brains and gave us a 7-fold accumulator that was doomed before it even got started thanks to Mark Hughes inspired 10-0-0 formation…we limp into Week 4 £15 lighter in the pocket and look to Neil T to grab some back.

News:

Almost all the money is in now (thanks) – couple of things to mention… congrats to Karl C on the birth of his twins last month (we all know where your winnings will be going mate) and happy birthday to Mark J Brown who is now surely old enough to drop the “J” bit out of his name…

Week 3 table, Week 4 scoresheet and Quarter Final Cup draw to follow.

Cheers,
Pab

Mumm-Ra:

Another hefty week of big scores (maximum points available was 140) as the leading pack set a searing pace to the new season. Top score this week goes to Stephen Peaston 47(6) who must’ve had a great weekend considering he was at St James’s Park witnessing some scousers getting robbed (for a change!) – howay! Well done Stevie, £20 coming your way, I’d imagine you’ll be treating the missus to slap up stotties or something on Wednesday now…

Dadrock:

With a score to match her height, Donna “Brumchick” Edmead 13(0) slips to the bottom of the pile, and in a way, mirroring the Villa – you’re bad! (as in bad).

Correct Score of the Week:

Everyone got Chelsea, Aberdeen and Rangers (just to really bore me) Julian F/Olly O/Neil M got Hartlepool 3 Walsall 1 but no one got a really good unique score this week. Ho hum.

Bet Of The Week:

Ben A gave us a patriotic treble and probably wishes he’d waited until Steve Mac had announced his “team” as it was the football leg that let us down. If you were a seasoned gambler (i.e. you lose 90% of the time) however, you would have been wise to place it as three doubles, and that way get your money back! ;-) We’re now £10 down and looking to Stephen P to turn it round…

News:

Get your outstanding payments in please – some of you have been in touch and made arrangements, but I’ve still to hear from a few of you…

Table updates in full will start next week.

Week 3/Cup 2nd round scoresheet will be mailed round on Thursday after all the replays have been settled.

Cheers,
Pab
