L13 Spring 2008 : Week 12 – Update

Written by

Luca Toni:
Good news: Gareth Morgan 28 (4) has broken the record for the all-time lowest winning week – congrats my Kentish friend £20 to you!
Bad news:
At the start of the season my foolish Kentish Sp*rs friend bet me £20 that his lot would finish above my lot – I’ll take that £20 then yeah?!
Darren Moore:
Woe is a Citeh fan – Andrew Chesworth 9 (0) probably feels a bit like Sven at the moment…
Correct Score of the Week :
In a very bad week for predicting scores not one person gained any bonus “goal” points this week – surely another first… anyway, Olly O/Anthony Y got Dundee Utd’s lucky draw at Motherwell, Olly O/Gareth M/Ciaran McG got West Ham’s lucky draw with the Toon, Tim B/Jamie S/Dan R got Villa’s lucky draw at Evington and Anthony Y got Gretna’s creditable draw at Killy.
This week’s best correct score though goes to Matt Davies for his prediction of Liverpool’s lucky draw at Brum.
Bet of the Week:
An absolute disaster from start to finish – be gone Will O! Going into the final week we find ourselves £18.75 down – over to the Sp*rs man to sort it out…
Table News:
Neil Meredith has a 4 point lead but any of the top eight could win it – highest climber unsurprisingly was Gareth M (+11) – and down the most was Mark McD (-8) – to qualify for Euro 2008 you need to be where Tim B is for automatic involvement – Anthony Y is off the bottom 2 points clear of Martin S who in turn is 3 correct scores above bottom placed Ben McKeown.

Cheers,
Pab.

Will O has come up with this 5/1 shot to try and put us back in the black…

Arsenal/WBA/Watford/Spurs to win.

L13 Spring 2008 : Week 11 – Review

Written by

Just Like A Dream:
In a season of doubles, Will Oppong 38 (6) collects his second weekly win of £20. Nice one Willo you are a Black Star!
Weston Super Mare:
Nice to see a Sp*rs fan getting it in the neck in these current times – Anthony Yearwood 8 (0) you’re just like the Arse!
Correct Score of the Week:
4 people got Blackburn’s 1-1 vs the Champions, Will O got a creditable Falkirk 0 Gretna 0 and best of the week goes to Olly Osmond for his Inverness CT’s 3-0 defeat of Killy
Bet of the Week:
Now had this come in (Jesus, I hate the Huns!) I would’ve taken full credit but as it stands, Matt D let us down with his ridiculous bets, so we’re £13.75 down with two weeks to go – Will O is up next to try and bail us (me) out…
Table News:
Neil Meredith has had his lead cut to 3 points in a pretty static Top Ten – highest climber was Wayne C (+12) – falling furthest was Anders H (-12) – to qualify for Euro 2008 you need to be where Mark G is for automatic involvement – Martin S is off the bottom 2 points clear of Anthony Yearwood

Cheers,
Pab.

Bet of the Week comes the forever optimistic Citeh fan and Week 10 winner Matt Davies…

Alright our kid, this’ll twist yer melon man… 50p on each of the following correct scores –

  • Arsenal 5-0 (30/1)
  • Rangers 3-0 (13/2)
  • QPR 4-2 (66/1)
  • Newcastle 6-1 (375/1)
  • Forest 4-0 (14/1)

And 50p on a correct score acca (802,000/1)

Oh, and just to keep it real, put the remaining two quid on all the teams to win (8.5/1) – sorted! (does that finger clicking thing…)

Not sure why he talks like that cos he’s really rather posh…

Result: LOSE! -£13.75

Have a good weekend,
Pab

Grinding Out A Win :
Close call this week (again). Tim B missed out by 2 points and Greg E missed out by one correct score. Matt Davies 36(7) sweeps up the £20 but I reckon he’ll have to lend it to Sven if you believe what you hear…
Playing Nice Football :
Should’ve been Mr 2-0 but somehow Wayne Connolly 10(0) managed to under-perform him.
Correct Score of the Week :
6 of us got Cardiff and 8 got Liverpool. Janine R got Pompey’s 0-0 and this week’s best goes to Anthony Yearwood for his M K Dons 2 Wycombe 2
Bet of the Week:
Boo! Nick H lost again -£8.75 down. Over to Matt D…
Table News:
Will he do the double? Neil Meredith moves 7 points clear of Nick H at the top with a Cup Final to look forward to. Highest climber? Tim B (+14) Furthest faller? Neil B (-11). Euro 2008? Tim B is where you’ve got to be for automatic involvement.

Will he do the double? Martin Stafford is making a valiant effort to avoid his 2nd spoon in succession, now only 2 points behind Ben McK.

Cheers,
Pab.

Spring 2008 : Cup SF & L13 Week 9 – Review

Written by

Play Up!:
Remember this from Week 7? “…Norfolk in way! He’s racking up the money and weekly wins – Nick Hogwood 40 (7) collects his third prize of the season and crashes into the Top 5 to boot. And obviously hacks off his brother at the same time…” Well, it’s happened again in Week 9, 41 (7) and now he’s top! The Jazz is dead, long live the Colonel!
Ecky Thumped!:
Remember this from Week 7? “…Ahhh, bless! Our fave girl from Cymru (after Charlotte, natch) always asks for a mention and she’s ended up here again – nevermind, Lisa Grey 10(0) has got the memory of the grand slam to soften the blow…” Well, this didn’t happen again – John Williamson 14(1) will be delighted with his return to form when he returns from the Land of the Rising Sun in a couple of weeks…
Correct Score of the Week:
7 got Nottm Forest’s 3-1 v Cheltenham, Dave McS, Stephen P & Anthony Y got the Toon’s return to proper Keegan football, Mark G got Sheff U’s 3-0 v Leicester and Howard Thomas got this week’s best correct score with Fulham 1 Sunderland 3
Bet of the Week:
Hurrah! We won! It may only be £6.25 but we’ll take whatever we’re given! Well done to Clare N for providing 4th in the National and taking the current situation to minus £3.75. Over to you for the third time of asking Nick…
Table News:
Nick Hogwood glides up to first with a 1 point lead over Neil M. The high and the low happen mid-table, Mark G (+8) and Jamie S (-9). Ben A is where you’ve got to be for automatic Euro 2008 involvement and Martin Stafford has his best week for ages but still finds himself 12 points awash at the bottom.
PAS Cup Semi-Finals:
This year’s Cup Final will be contested between Neil Meredith and Mark McDowell – the latter just getting the better of Mark J B and the former comprehensively trouncing Matt D. Well done chaps, just wait and see what you’ve got to predict for the final!

Cheers,
Pab.

Bet of the Week goes off-piste (and why not, football is obviously not our thang!). Vegetarians and people who love animals look away now, Clare Nevin is looking to the turf…

The name of the horse defines how little we have all won on the PAS Bets of the Week: ’Slim Pickings’ in The Grand National.

£2.50 E/W and should get around 10/1 ante-post.

Have a great weekend

Result: WIN! 4th Place -£3.75

Cheers!
Pab

L13 Spring 2008 : Week 8 – Review

Written by

2-0 down, 3-2 up!:
A pretty random week again (see Mr 2-0 for confirmation) predicting-wise and it went to the wire for the weekly prize. Thanks to her beloved local team winning 4-0, Clare Nevin 32(5) just about edged out the other Hogwood from turning into a family thing and Anthony Y from bragging from here to kingdom come despite his team getting walloped by the only team that Derby have beat. So, £20 to spend in a Belfast cocktail bar Clare – bottoms up!
That Brum City penalty:
A bit like the Arse, his has gone as well – Will Oppong 14 (1) limps in with his first bad week of the season
Correct Score of the Week :
Scant. Clare N and Anthony Y got the Man Yoo masterclass and Julian F took time off getting 0-0’s to land Coventry 3 Plymouth 1. However this weeks award and now best of the season, goes to Barrie Riding for his Charlton 2 Wolves 3 prediction. I’m not happy…
Bet of the Week:
Grrrr! Only ’that brilliant team at home’, Ipswich let our Norwich friend down this week – we are now £10 down – time for some luck o’ the Irish Clare!
Table News:
Will O is still there but his lead has been drastically cut to 5 points – highest climbers are the Marks J Brown and Seels (+8) and the furthest fallers mark McD/Steve T (yes, he actually sent some scores in!)/Dan R (-9). Mr. 2-0 (booooo! He’s still there dammit!) is where you’ve got to be for automatic Euro 2008 involvement and Martin S is now a long long 14 points from wooden spoon avoidance.

Cheers,
Pab.
