L13 Spring 2006 : Week 7 – IMPORTANT INFO

Written by

Just when it was all going so smooooothly…

Thanks to the eagle eyes of Rich Lee and latterly Dan Bushell, we’ve uncovered a glitch that has, ahem, has some great affect…

It seems the Dundee Utd score was marked as a draw but as we all know it was actually 3-1 – sooooooooooo,

Danny A is not his weeks winner (he had 1-1 for Dundee Utd). Sorry Dan, it’s cruel and we should have re-checked without a prompt – harsh lessons have been learned…

Jon Tofieli is the real winner with his total of 33 (3) – well done Jon, I think you owe Rich & Dan a drink!

Some of youse have increased your score (notably John W who is now top) and some of you (well just poor Dan A I think) have lost points.

The new revised table will be up on the webpage very soon.

Apologies from the Board,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 7 – Review

Written by

If two last minute “wonder strikes” hadn’t given Chelsea & Pompey last gasp winners, i’d be sitting here home, hosed and weighed-in as the weekly winner. So, it’s still up for grabs – here’s the scenarios…

If Palace win 1-3, Danny Ashworth will win

If Stoke win 2-0, Mr 2-0 and his 4 lazy mates (Andy B, Darryl M, Mindy N and Tapiwa M) will win (£4 each!)

If Palace win by any score other than 1-3, Simon Lindquist will win.

Any draw and I win!

Any Stoke win other than 2-0, Simon L and I will share the honours – I’m just waiting for that last minute goal…

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 5 – Review

Written by

Englands New Kit :
He may be a loser in love but the boy from “Heartbreak High”, Mark Fawke 44(7) scored plenty in Week 5. £20 then for a good few hours trawling the internet for that *special* girl or maybe purchase of a new fleece to wear. You decide Drazic!
Wigan:
He’s from Wigan, probably supports them, might have gone to Cardiff but definitely feels a lost worse after the “horse-less drubbing” – hang your blue-and-white-comedy-hatted-head in shame Neil Birchall 12(0) – that’ll teach you to “ole” me after the semi-final!
Correct Score of the Week:
Four of you got the Blackburn debacle correct and Karl C / Jamie S we’re off to a flyer on Friday thanks to Huddersfield’s late comeback to 2-2 with Swansea. No one got a correct score that carried bonus points, so that left my Gretna 1 St Mirren 0 prediction as the stand alone best score. I thank you.
Bet of the Week :
We’re now £20 down as Jazz S was scuppered by QPR and Charlton. Next up is Mark F – we need a rezzer son!

Table News…

Top Board:
Mark F moves up 2 places to open up an 8 point gap at the top from Jazz S.
Dead In The Water:
Greg E slips down 3 places to rock bottom but only 2 correct scores behind the hapless Neil B. Both are 5 points behind Gary B.
Spring Board:
Danny A goes up 13 places to 20th, others upwardly mobile are Neil M to 10th (+6), Tapiwa M / Andy B to 17th / 18th (+7) respectively and your host to 24th (+6)
Belly Flop:
Jon T falls 10 places to 25th and others not really worth a mention are Neil T to 26th (-9), Jamie S to 28th (-6) and Stephen P to 29th (-8)
Gala Rosettes:
Clare N on 11th (-3), Ben H on 23rd (+1) and Julian F on 30th (+2)

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week : How can last week’s worst PASer win £200 on the Chelsea – Barca game on Wednesday? It’s not fair…

Spring Cup 2006 : Quarter Final Draw

Written by

Like art imitating real life, the tie of the round is a Geordie who has won nothing up against last years League champ…!

Clare Nevin   v Stephen Peaston
Jazz Sian     v Simon Lindquist
Mark Fawke    v Dan Bushell
Jamie Sellers v Simon Schofield

Not a clue when these ties will take place as the real QF’s seem to be taking place midweek this year – bizarre! It will be around Week 8 or Week 9…

Cheers,
Pab

PS – I’ve just sent over the updated Week 5 scoresheet so give him a chance to upload it – if you’ve been quick of the mark, the one that’s got Spurs – Wigan, West Ham – Man U on it is wrong! You want the one with Match 30 reading Man Utd v Wigan (Carling Cup Final)

Spring 2006 : Cup & L13 Week 4 – Roundup

Written by

Colchester Balloons:
In a week when the big hitters came out to play, the predicting machine that is Jazz Sian 47 (6) reared his money winning head and ran off with another £20 weekly win. There are some people who think Jazz is a pseudonym of mine and I cheat money from the hordes every season. I may have to start doing this in future just to stop him winning… Well done Jazz, shame Sp*rs only drew though eh?!
Smudgers Ankle:
Going to the New Den is painful in itself. Seeing your team concede a last minute goal just rubs it in. Getting 14 (0) Gary Blackburne, was surely too much???!
Correct Score of the Week:
Many were on the Charlton & Hearts gravy trains, Jamie S and Steve T saw Joe Cole coming and Jazz S fluked a Plymouth 3-1 (they never score three!). This weeks title, and season best so far, goes to Mark Fawke for his Luton 3 Reading 2 prediction, beating his own previous best Colchester – Derby selection
Bet of the Week:
It was all looking spot on for some money and up stepped the Pie Eaters at T*tt*nh*m – worth every penny in my book! We’re now £15 down and relying on Jazz S to share his predicting acumen… Come on, you owe us!
Cup Update:
Humdinger of a 5th round! Stephen P forgot to play a joker, scored 21 points and still went through – Michelle F’s 39 point haul ran into Jazz S and Mark F can thank his Toon joker for edging him past his good friend Will O in the Croydon derby by 41-40!

Draw for Quarter Finals will take place very soon on Five Live…

Table News:

Top:
Jazz Sian (+5) opens up a 9 point gap over 2nd placed Steve T
Bottom:
Gary Blackburne (-5) is 5 points adrift of Danny A
Climbing:
Michelle Fernandez (good girl!) is this weeks hihest climber up 17 places to 11th – mentions to Clare N (+7 to 8th), Simon L (+11 to 19th), Jamie S (+10 to 22nd) and Andy B (+9 and off the bottom to 25th)
Falling:
As bad as her daughter is good, Margaret Ashworth is the biggest faller down 10 to 26th – of note, Karl C (-5 and off the top to 6th), Richard L (-7 to 14th), Mindy N (-5 to 27th), Julian F (-9 to 32nd)
Spot Prizers:
Michelle F on 11th / Tapiwa M on 23rd / me on 30th (boooo!)

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 3 – Roundup

Written by

Joey’s Right Boot :
Not only did he predict it, I suspect he was actually there! Karl Chartres 45 (6) must have been bouncing when the whistle blew at Eastlands on Sunday as it secured him a fifth of his weekly winning points – are we mostly booing or cheering Mr Barton this week??! £20 then Karl – Chelle said she’ll spend it on drink on your “date” tonight…
Bryan Robson’s Team:
Hanging their head in shame this week is Greg Edwards 13(0). Darryl M, you weren’t much better…
Correct Score of the Week:
Cancelling out Karl C’s Man City 3-2 was Clare N, Pam D and Simon L both got the Hammers score right and loads got Man U as usual. This weeks honour goes to Matt Worsfold for his Cardiff 3 Stoke 0 prediction
Bet of the Week :
So much for the Worsfold Fourfold Matt! We are now £10 down for the season – Karl C you’re up next…
Table News:
It’ll be up on the webpage very soon, we have a new leader…

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week : Mr 2-0 is 16 places above me…

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 3 – BotW

Written by

Steve T or Matt W haven’t come back with a Bet Of The Week, so we’ll go with Mr 2-0 who reckons the Arse will beat Bolton by said score @ odds of around 11/2

Have a good weekend!,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 6 – Review

Written by

Aaron Lennon :
One of the all time top scores recorded this week by a man who (I think) holds the actual record. My lovely Sp*rs friend, John Williamson 54 (8), collects £20 to maybe contribute to the “can we have our motto back” fund at Wh*te H*rt L*ne… Well done Johnny boy – top score!
Didier Drogba :
For the 2nd time this season Andy Bowkett 12 (0) is out pointed by everyone including a miserable Mr 2-0.
Correct Score of the Week:
Far too many got Celtic, Hibs and amazingly, Sp*rs. Steve P and Simon S got the Toon correct but this weeks honour goes to Will Oppong for his Burnley 0 Reading 3 prediction.
Bet of the Week :
Henry obliged, Nolan had one chalked off and Rooney was determined not to score last night… We failed again and are now £25 down. John W, we need your help!

Table News…

Chelsea:
Jazz Sian moves ominously up 1 place to top spot with a 3 point gap to boot
Sunderland:
Our resident Wiganer, Neil Birchall, must be feeling a bit like Pascal Gloves as he slips 1 place to bottom, 1 point behind Greg E
Newcastle:
Stephen P is the highest climber this week, up a whopping 18 places to 11th – other acheivers of note are John W in 6th (+8), Jamie S in 12th (+16), El Presisente in 15th (+9), Margaret A in 16th (+15) and Julian F in 20th (+10)
Wigan:
A joint effort in falling the furthest from Darryl M / Tapiwa m / Andy B all down 11 places to 26th / 28th / 29th respectively – other non acheivers are Michelle F in 17th (-9), Mr 2-0 in 23rd (-10), Pam D in 24th (-8) and Mindy N in 31st (-9) Intertoto Cup: Sitting on a cash prize spot are Stephen P (11th), Mr 2-0 (23rd) and Dan McGowan (30th)
