L13 Winter 2007 : Week 10 Update

Anthony Yearwood leads the pack on 36 points Serbia v Kazakhstan was called off due to heavy snowfall so doesn’t count (obviously!). 9 games to go on Wednesday Surely even McLaren can’t mess it up now….

L13 Winter 2007 : Week 10 – BotW

We’re £30 down but I’m excited by this one – we’re due a winner! Week 9 winner, Tim Birtwisle writes…

Bet of the week – 3 draws Scotland Italy, Israel Russia & Spain Sweden. You can always bump it up a little bit by betting on the usual losers to get beat – teams like Luxembourg, San Marino, The Faroes, England…

Odds are around 45/1 for the draw treble and if you add the “surely-nailed-on-losers” playing Latvia / Portugal / Holland / Serbia / Germany / Finland it’ll go up to around 105/1 – get on!

Result: LOSE! -£35


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 9 Roundup

iPhone :
Bet you thought you had a good week eh? Got around late 20’s early 30’s? Yeah me and the other 40 people I’m afraid – for once all the scores went with the form (bar the Championship cos it’s mental) so it was just a question of nailing the correct scores. Well one person who did was Tim Birtwisle 43 (6) who ran out a comfortable winner in the end thanks to Arsenal sloppiness at the end of last nights game. Old skool former Champion Tim might spend his winnings going back home to Sporston Green…
Two yoghurt pots & piece of string :
We all know people who love to talk don’t we – well I can’t wait for Dave Crisp 12 (0) to talk me through his one when we’re at the next Arsenal game…
Correct Score of the Week:
14 people simultaneously jumped up from their sofa when Shorey slotted home, 4 people got Plymouth while I waited in vain for Norwich to score, Julian F got the “most obvious 0-0 EVER!” at Bolton along with Matt H & Ben H, myself and Janine R reluctantly got Sp*rs 4-0, Howard T & Mark J B impressed even themselves with Everton’s draw at the Bridge, Howie T nailed Motherwell as well, Ben McK got Hull 3-0 and Stephen P got Charlton 3-0. Best score of the week (and some Jambos would argue, best of the season! But not me cos I’m Hibee!) goes to Paul Jenner for his Hearts 4 Aberdeen 1
Bet of the Week :
the most obvious 0-0 EVER! scuppered our bet so we’re now £30 down but have international specialist, Tim B to set us right (bet he puts England to win 2-0…)

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 9 – BotW

Not heard from Ben H (he said he was spending his winnings on fish, chips and mushy peas so he’s probably in hospital with an over eating disorder…) but Mark J B has come up with a “as safe as Everton winning in Europe” four timer…

Spurs, Arsenal, Bolton & Man Utd – a fiver on that will get back around £30, which is what we need to get back on an even keel…

Results might be late next week as I’m in London until Tuesday and as you know the computer type laptop type things have forgotten what Word & Excel are…

Result: LOSE! -£30


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 8 Table Roundup

I’m Brilliant :
The machine, Jazz Sian, stretches his lead to a healthy 14 points from Neil T who in turn, is a further 5 points in front of Matt D.
I’m A Spaz :
Despite doing well this week (cos Mr 2-0 did his scores) Neil Birchall is still bottom. If Neil had a sat nav and he punched in Jon T as his destination, he would be very near to hearing “you have arrived”… Well, 7 points away.
Brilliantesque :
Highest climber this week is Ben Hogwood up a just-short-of-the-cup-qualification leap of 14 places to 33rd – fellow climbers are Joanne G (+6), Ciaran McG (+11), Jon A (+10), Steve B (+7) and Karl C (+6)
Spazzy :
Falling furthest this week is Andy Chesworth down a whats-happened-to-my-football-knowledge?-is-it-cos-I’m concentrating-on-my-wedding-next-year-and-getting-distracted (oops, did I just say that out loud?) drop of 14 places to 52nd – fellow fallers are Gareth M (-9), Stephen P (-11), Pam D (-12) and Scott A (-8)
Marmite :
Love it or hate it, finishing here on Week 13 will bring a you a big jar of Guinness Marmite – the Mark Seels consortium have their knives at the ready and toast in the toaster…
Spotters :
Current residents are 14th – me! (+2), 17th – Tim B (+4), 23rd – Neil M (-4), 33rd – Ben H (+14), 39th – Mr. 2-0 (+4), 46th – Matt H (+2), 58th – Anne C (-1) and 64th – Ben A (non mover – again!)
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Simon L is (+1) to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 8 Roundup

Konichiwa Bitches :
In a fairly lo-scoring week it went to the wire with around a dozen in with a shout before Monday’s games – Tony B was just nudged aside by Mark J Brown & Ben Hogwood 33 (6). Bluenose Brown was cursing his own James Vaughn’s 101st minute goal as it robbed him of 3 points and an outright win. £10 each then that Browny has probably spent on 9 cheesy nudgers from Greggs and Ben, umm, I dunno, what would Ben spend £10 on?
See You Next Tuesday You Is A Punk :
Serial “crazy” score predictor Scott Aslett 10 (0) is steadily heading the way of Palace…
Correct Score of the Week:
12 disciples got the Emirates epic, 7 clock watchers got Everton, Tony B / Olly O / Anthony Y got East Anglian inbred derby and hats off to Mark Grey who managed to gauge in ineptitude of the Brazilian Bramble to come up with Newcastle 1 Portsmouth 4. Best correct score of the season so far without doubt.
Bet of the Week :
He ruffled a few feathers with his “scouse” treble and just like Liverpool’s 17 claims to a league title he failed. We go into Week 9 in the capable hands of Mark J B/Ben H to turn round the £25 deficit. Come on!

Cheers,
Pab

Fings We Noticed :
Nice to see Sir Alec’s hearing isn’t as bad as his eyesight – Arsenal getting accused of an atmosphere! Who’d have thought it! And while we’re here, let’s hope when all the “bloody foreigners” get turfed back to where they came from, it’s extended to having English-only managers too. I’m sure he’d love it back in Aberdeen… Waitrose in Cheadle is the coldest supermarket EVER! Juande Ramos is Jack Lord (ask yer dad about the Five-O kids!) Stephen Ireland is mentally ill.


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 8 – BotW

£20 down for the season so far so up steps Week 7 (see Danny, I got it right this time!) winner Rich Lee, who’s gone off-piste…

Hi Pab, Re bet of the week thingy, I’ll go for a Merseyside treble: Liverpool win at Blackburn, Tranmere win at Forest, and a Man U loss at Arsenal. Haven’t got a clue what odds this gives

In that case I’ll tell you Richie – it’s around 23/1

Bon chance, vive les Goonres!
Pab

Result: LOSE! -£25


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 7 Table Roundup

Cesc :
He’s still there with a bit more breathing space from Neil T and Danny A – Jazz Sian is top by 5 points
Fernando :
He’s still there but breathing down the neck of Danielle F and Ben A – Neil Birchall is bottom by 7 points
Kolo :
Highest climber this week is Richard Lee up a just-short-of-the-top-ten leap of 22 places to 11th – fellow climbers are Mark G (+10), Janine R (+20), Barrie R (+13) and Matt G (+10)
Sami :
Falling furthest this week is Clare Nevin down a whats-happened-to-my-football-knowledge?-is-it-cos-I’m-concentrating-on-my-wedding-next-year-and-getting-distracted drop of 18 places to 49th – fellow fallers are Stephen P (-11), Greg E (-11), Will O (-13) and Michelle F (-14)
Marmite :
Love it or hate it, finishing here on Week 13 will bring a you a big jar of Guinness Marmite – Rich L has his knife at the ready and toast in the toaster…
Spotters :
Current residents are 14th – Mark S (+4), 17th – Lisa G (-2), 23rd – Stephen P (-11), 33rd – Simon L (+4), 39th – Mark F (+3), 46th – Ciaran Mc G (-8), 58th – Paul W (+4) and 64th – Ben A (non mover)
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Wayne C is ( -2) to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2007 : Week 7 Roundup

Young Guns :
You would’ve got this last night but a certain Man Yoo fan only sent his scores to my work address… anyway, this week’s winner is Rich Lee 42 (8) who must surely come under some scrutiny seeing as he plays for Watford and therefore influence last nights result – hmmm, dunno, we’ll look into it with Aidy… £20 coming your way Rich, no doubt spends for new shinpads or a Nick Cave make up kit.
Club Tottenham Ha Ha :
Bless her. My niece, Danielle Fleming, wants to play with the big boys at football and then she racks up a pure girl score of 6(0). Still not as bad as Jon A’s score a few weeks ago though…
Correct Score of the Week :
16 of you got the nailed on 3-0 that is Celtic, amazingly, 5 got Man U 4 Boro 1 and Mark S & Barrie R got Burnley 2 Southampton 3. No unique correct score this week. Rubbish really.
Bet of the Week :
Danny A stepped up and duly failed with the 7 team acca – we’re now £20 down but have Richard L to guide us to profit in Week 8. If you took my hint, you’d have got your money back with Blue Sq!

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week :
Is Liverpool the only city in Britain where organised extortion is positively encouraged? Fair play though, it cost 50p to have your car “looked after” in 1983 and today it’s only a quid!

L13 Winter 2007 : Week 7 – BotW

Danny Ashworth was the Week 6 winner and is tasked with recouping on the £15 deficit so far…he’s come up with a (general) 20/1 7 team accumulator…

  • Man U
  • Sunderland
  • Charlton
  • WBA
  • Leeds
  • Hartlepool
  • MK Dons

Cheers,
Pab

PS – personally, I’m loving Blue Sq 21/20 on Arsenal “draw no bet”…

Result: LOSE! -£20
