L13 Spring 2006 : Week 8 – Review

Written by

Cookie :
Exciting finish again as it went down to the last game and Watford provided the correct result for Tapiwa Madovi 38 (6). Well done T, let’s hope I don’t have to take the £20 back off you cos of some, ahem, admin error in the score marking…
Jose:
Congratulations Neil Meredith 14(0), not for your pathetic score, but for the birth of your lovely daughter yesterday. Lucky girl takes after her mum…
Correct Score of the Week:
Loads got on the Arsenal revival and the Aberdeen cert. Quite a few got the Norwich score, 3 got Motherwell & Hibs 2-2 draw and 3 got Watford’s romp. This weeks best correct score goes to the Weekly Winner for his Newcastle Utd 1 Liverpool 3.
Bet of the Week :
God bless Jon T! He may have had a mare with his PAS but he came up trumps with his acca! We’re now £8 to the good after a £38 win – Tapiwa, you’ve got a tough act to follow…

Table News:

Great Height:
The new leader by 1pt is Steve T – big up.
The Pit:
The same wodden spooner as last week, Greg E, is now 6 points from not being embarrassed…
Scaling:
Highest climber is Dan McG (+10) closely followed by Tapiwa M (+7), Julian F (+6) and Ben H (+5)
Slipping:
Biggest faller is a joint effort from Jon T & Darryl M (-7), others of note are Michelle F (-6) and Mr 2-0 (-5)
Spot Prizers:
Karl C on 11th (+4), Danny A on 23rd (-2) and Andy b on 30th (-3)

++++++ It’s Q/F CUP WEEK too, so all those still involved with a home draw, remember your JOKER! +++++++

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week : Why did I have to be greedy and add the “nailed on” Wycombe to Jon T’s selections…?

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 8 – BotW

Written by

After the mix-up mare of Week 7, it emerged that Jon Tofeili was the correct winner and therefore responsible for redressing our £30 deficit – over to the bookies favourite Geordie…

If you do this, for a £5 stake you will get £38.19, about 8-1

Thought I’d justify my selections…

  • Think on form Arsenal who are pushing for 4th will be too strong for Charlton on Saturday.
  • Bolton… well they are playing the scum at home (need I say more)
  • Man Utd are playing well and should win… unless Fergie takes a bung for his old mate Robson.
  • Colchester aren’t too clever lately but I expect them to turn Swindon over as they need to open up a gap on Oldham who beat them last week to consolidate their position in the play-offs.
  • Grimsby are on form and beat barnet at home last week 3-0. Fancy a repeat against a poor Bury side.
  • Finally Aberdeen to beat Livingston. Simply cos their playing Livingston who are sh*te.
  • Note: Celtic weren’t on my coupon but I’d take them to beat Inverness.

My Bet… put on today on bet365.com

Arsenal v Charlton
(Full Time Result) Arsenal 3/10
Bolton v Sunderland
(Full Time Result) Bolton 1/3
West Brom v Man Utd
(Full Time Result) Man Utd 1/2
Colchester v Swindon
(Full Time Result) Colchester 8/15
Grimsby v Bury
(Full Time Result) Grimsby 1/2
Aberdeen v Livingston
(Full Time Result) Aberdeen 4/9

Result: WINNER!

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

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…
