L13 Spring 2007 : Week 10 Roundup

Written by

King :
The Woking Swede, Simon Lindquist moves up one place, hits the 300 point mark and opens up a 7 point lead over Greg E who in turn has a 9 point buffer from Ben A.
Joker :
Cutting the gap to 10 points is Martin Stafford – Dave McS must be quaking in his boots….
Ace :
Week 10 winner Ciaran McG is this weeks highest climber up 8 places to 22nd – others of note are Anders H (+7) and Stephen P/Karl C (+4).
Jack :
Dropping large is Matt G down 6 places to 26th followed by far too many to mention players who all dropped 3 places…
Close But A Cigar!:
Neil T is up one place to 8th – three correct scores off the money…
Spotters :
Ben H (-1) on 11th, Steve T (non mover) on 23rd, John W (-1) on 32nd and Wayne C (-1) on 39th.
Play Up Pompey:
Bejaysus! Our sole representative in Eire, Ciaran McGoldrick 35 (6) scoops up this weeks euros and holds off Simon L winning two consecutive weeks. Well done Ciaran, the white pudding is on you!
Playing UEFA Cup football:
His team did him proud this week, but Matt Worsfold 10 (0) can out his chin right back down again after this Elm’s Street….
Correct Score of the Week:
Pam R & my good self got Man City 0 Charlton 0, Ciaran Mc G & Scott A got Wigan 1 Bolton 3 and Karl C & Simon L got Blackpool 3 Tranmere 2. Correct score of the week and new best of season goes to Julian Fernandez for his partisan Portsmouth 2 Man Utd 1.
Bet Of The Week:
I deliberately steered clear of this as I knew the Arsenal would lose their unbeaten home record to W Ham (go on, check my scores!) and alas, the goalless Gooners turned out to be the weak link in the chain….we are now £25 down with three weeks to go – over to the panel in Dublin for next weeks selection(s).

L13 Spring 2007 : Week 10 – BotW

Written by

We halved our deficit to £20 last week courtesy of Mark J B – next up to take us into profit is Simon Lindquist…

Bet of the Week, done in a rush, is: Home wins for Chelsea, Arsenal, Middlesbro’, Sunderland and Celtic.

Goodness knows what odds you get on that combo… I’m afraid I’ll leave you to find out.

Delegate! Can tell you’re a manager Simon!

Odds on that little lot are around 7.75-1 meaning you’ll grab back about £43.00 (inc stake) from the bookie.

Result: Lost! :-( Down -£25.

L13 Spring 2007 : Week 9 Roundup

Written by

Higher Than The Sun :
We have a new leader – Welsh wunderkid (and obviously a Liverpool fan!) Greg Edwards moves up three places to move one point clear of Simon L. Jazz S, ominously, is only 2 points off top slot in 3rd…
Damaged :
He only scored 16(1) this week and now Martin Stafford finds himself eleven points behind Dave McS – surely he has one hand on the Spoon…
Movin’ On Up :
Unsurprisingly, Simon L is this weeks highest climber – up six places to 2nd – fellow progressors are Clare N / Pam R / Stephen P up four places to 14th / 19th / 22nd respectively and Neil M up five places to 29th.
I’m Comin’ Down :
Falling furthest is Gary B down six places to 25th – other losers are Matt W and Mark J B down four places to 6th and 13th.
Close But A Cigar! :
Me! me! me! Up two places to 8th – two points off the money…
Spotters :
Karl C (+3) on 11th, Steve T (+2) on 23rd, Michelle F (+3) on 32nd and Donna E (-1) on 39th.
Good Goals For A Circus Freak:
He needed a draw and got a correct score to boot – Simon Lindquist 42 (6) was just clear of Karl C and takes this week’s £20 prize. Well done Simon, perhaps you’ll be able to afford to get your film developed and eventually send over that picture of you with the PAS trophy?
Julio Baptista:
Languishing a long way behind this week was Ben McKeown 15 (1) who has now brought another week of shame on the town of Darlo… tut tut.
Correct Score of the Week:
A lot of you got the MonkeyHangers’ 3-0 on Friday night, Donna E / Mark G / Clare N got the BlueNoses’ 3-0 on Sunday and Lisa G / Wayne C got the TractorBoys’ 3-0 on Saturday. This week’s best correct score though is for Scott A’s Man Yoo 4 Blackeye Rovers 1.
Bet Of The Week:
Hooray! Hooray! Hooraaaay! Mark J B’s treble came up trumps and halves our deficit to -£20.00. I forgot to back it though – boooooo! Next up is Simon L, who may use his knowledge of the Conference to give us a Happy Easter….

Depending on who you followed last week (you lucky boy Matt G!) you’ll be £40 down or even stevens – we’ll take the official route and say we followed the ’Ammer last week and are currently out of pocket.

Last week’s robber of the weekly prize was Mark J Brown – here’s his rather conservative, yet sensible selections (slowly slowy catchy monkey n all that…)

£5 Treble Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea = £20

Result: WON! :-) Down -£20.

L13 Spring 2007 : Week 8 Roundup

Written by

BST :
He sent his scores this week, but Ben Alder is now only two points clear at the top from Matt W.
GMT :
Slipping down two places to the bottom is Martin Stafford – two points away from Dave McSherry…
Lighter :
Highest climbers this week are Mark J Brown 9th (+7), Will Oppong 16th (+7) & Mark Grey 20th (+7) – also springing up are me 10th (+5), Clare N 18th (+6), Stephen P 26th (+6) and Ciaran McG 29th (+6).
Darker :
Furthest faller is Julian Fernandez 33rd (-7) – also withering are Gary B 19th (-5), Olly O 22nd (-6), Steve Tagger 25th (-5), John Williamson 28th (-6) and Neil M 34th (-6).
Close But A Cigar! :
Simon L goes down 3 places to 8th – 1 point off the money…
Spotters :
Neil B (-2) on 11th, Pam R (-4) on 23rd, Andy C (-2) on 32nd and Scott A (+3) on 39th.
David Healey:
Surely when you’ve racked up 46(7) points you’re gonna win the weekly prize??! Unfortunately not this week as Blackpool’s last minute goal denied another 3 points to condemn me to another last gasp runner’s up spot and landed the £20 into Mark J Brown’s 47(7) lap. Booooooo! Well done Scouse, the winnings should keep you in Chang at the game for a good few weeks to come…
Wayne Rooney:
After a spate of high achievers getting all cocky and not submitting scores, it was the turn of the bottom feeders to have a go. Mr 2-0 13(1) duly obliged and kept them firmly in their place!
Correct Score of the Week:
A bumper week after the recent barren run – loads of you got Nottm Forest 3-0 and Slovakia 1-3, Will O / Lisa G / Dave N got Albania 0-0, Dan R & Ben H got Poland’s 5-0 (ask Clare N about that one!), Ciaran McG got Blackpool’s aforementioned 1-3, I got Portugal’s sparkling 4-0 against Belgium and England’s flat 0-0 with Israel, but Correct Score of the Week and new Best of the Season is Lisa Grey, for her “lucky last minute” Liechtenstein 1 Norn Iron 4.
Bet Of The Week:
Matt W gave us a 7-fold and true to form this season it failed to come in and leaves us £40 down. However, if you followed my patriotic (of sorts) Iberico-Celtic 5 timer you would be breaking even as we speak as it paid back between £40 and £50 (depending where you bet) for a £5 stake. Yes, I am ace.

No word back from last week’s jammy winner Matt W as yet, so I’ll put up a substitute acca if he fails to shout up (Matt, do a “reply all” with your flutter before 1pm tomorrow me ol’ china!)

We’re £35 down so I’ll go for rootsy Celt/Iberian flavour to win us around £50…

A “lady” on the following then:

Eire / Scotland / N Ireland / Portugal / Spain

I’ll be in Belfast this weekend after-dinner speaking (slurring) at the Nor’n Ireland Branch “near-the-end-of-the-season-few-scoops” session hosted by the PAS “Posh & Becks”, Clare N & Neil T.

If the results are late on Monday, you now know why…

…and then…

…and now for my bet of the week:

£5 on My Lucky Seven Accumulator: Serbia, Ukraine, Belarus, France, Poland, Slovakia and Croatia

Have a good un

Matt

Result: Lost! :-( Down -£40.

L13 Spring 2007 : Week 7 Roundup

Written by

Hot :
He (and 3 others in the Top Ten!) didn’t send in any scores, but Ben Alder is still out front with a 12 point lead over Neil T and Matt W…
Cold :
He always sends in scores (early and clearly mental), but Scott Aslett is now in the wooden spoon position, one point away from Martin S…
Warm :
Yours truly climbed highest (scant reward!) this week up 10 places to 15th – others of note are Matt W (+5), Lisa G (+6), Danny A (+6) and Richard L (+5).
Tepid :
No surprises as Stephen P falls the furthest, down 10 places to 32nd – others of note are Matt G (-4), Will O (-4) and Michelle F (-7).
Close But A Cigar! :
Jamie S got knocked out the Cup and slid 2 places to 8th – 9 points off the money…
Spotters :
Lisa G (+6) on 11th, Will O (-4) on 23rd, Stephen P (-10) on 32nd and Wayne C (+3) on 39th.
Ireland CC:
Not only did I have to endure sitting in the 80’s football museum that is Goodison Park (good ol’ restrcted views, cosy seats, queuing 45 mins for a badly poured pint… I won’t even begin about a the “scouse pie”, the “atmosphere” and parking charges in Stanley Park) freezing to death watching Arsene’s young dream team turn increasingly into that other lauded batch of youngsters, Crystal Palace 1979-80, but I had the ignominy of seeing AJ smash home the only goal that could deny me the weekly prize. In the last minute. Nice. This weeks weekly winner then, is ’Appy ’Ammer Matt Worsfold 35 (5) – well done Matty, it didn’t all go your way this week, but fill yer boots with boiled beef and cabbage and treat yourself to some new buttons for that silly jacket you insist on wearing…
Freddie Flintoff:
It’s quite nice when you see your own experiences mirrored for a northerner – his team is rubbish, can’t score and also out of Europe, Stephen Peaston’s 12 (0) week just a whole lot worse…
Correct Score of the Week:
This week’s winner had a lot to thank for his Stockport 3 Hartlepool 3 ten pointer and it looked like he had the “Best Correct Score of the Season” in the bag until Neil T came along! Amazing! Loads got Chelsea and Spurs (mostly together) and Danny A & Neil m got Derby 3 Cardiff 1. Best score, just to make me feel better, goes to me for my certainty on Charlton 2 Toon 0.
Bet Of The Week:
Palace boy Dan R failed us and became the seventh person to do so – we are now £35 down and looking for a miracle now to break even. Matt W is next up – can he pull another 3-3 out of the bag??

£30 down, we now look to a Palace supporter to bail us out – let me put it this way, they’re an optimistic bunch…

A cheeky treble: Palace, Leeds and Everton to win!!!

£5 on will net around £199.00 (inc stake).

Result: Lost! :-( Down -£35.
