“Over to you Leo…”
“Happy Hour”:
It’s tough at the top. Not that I know of course. You’d think after 30-odd years I’d get at least a week…
Thirty-three(!) show-offs duked it out for this week’s spoils with their impressive 30 points-plus totals (yep, even Frankie F carried along in the point fest!).
John D smashed home a 40-point weekend, Dan W grabbed a brace of 8 pointers on the way to 43 points and Jason M, forever the cream of The Syndicate, matched that, and threw in 2 x 5 point games to land 45 points!
All very nip & tuck and dive & duck, but lurking in the background, despite his lowly dwellings this season, we had a player who started Week 9 with a correct score just like me…
And just look how that similarity ended.
John Nunns 54 (9) has a furious flurry of bonus point scoring to thank for his pocketing of Week 9’s £20.
Two three-nils, one 4-0, and that 3-2 featured alongside a real Super Sunday of FIVE correct scores – whoo, and, yeah!
Bravo John, onwards & upwards, eh?!
“Flag Day”:
So if it’s “tuff at the top”, can you imagine what it’s like at the bottom?!
Safe to say, this is not in my imagination…
Three(!) got 15 points or less this week, with bros Fernandez taking up 2/3rds of that particular pathetic pie.
Predictz 12 (0) not only failed to get a correct score, but had the ignominy of their profession finishing behind, ahem, us amateurs…
Tough.
Correct Score of the Week:
Pfffffttttttt…most popular score was Palace’s 2-1 win over Leeds– 34 of youse got that!
Twenty eight got the very annoying last minute spoiling Chelsea 3 Wolves o (YES!! I had 2-0…)
18 had Rangers’ merciless deconstruction of St Mirren
Eighteen more doffed a cap to Citeh’s 4-0 deconstruction of Southampton (YES!! I had 3-0…)
12 lapped up the injury time joy of West Ham 3 Fulham 1 (YES!! I had 2-1…)
Ten(!) thrilled at the thrilling Arsenal 3 Liverpool 2 (YES!! Just, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!)
5 got Kilmarnock’s “Desmond” with Hearts
Five more got Blackburn 3 Rotherham 0
Neil T, Alex R & Luke S turned up WBA 0 Luton 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of poor Steve Bruce…
Stuart F nabbed the form book upsetting, Bradford 0 Stockport 1
Matthew M saw his typo come good on the game at Livingston
Debbie L had Stoke’s 3-1 win over Sheff Utd
Darren McC was grateful for the 3-1 Blackpool win over Watford
Greg F believed in Brum. A 3-0 kinda belief…
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Debbie Lee for her I-knew-one-goal-was-bigger-than-the-other inspired, Wigan 1 Cardiff 3!
Bet of the Week:
Lee Taylor was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 8 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
It was a no show….
So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th– up & running at least!
Ben McKeown is at 33rd this week…
Benjamin, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!
We need to notch. Are the Blaydon Races on?!
Table News:
“Caravan of Love”: Dan Wayman stays top, now 13 points ahead of Scott H who, in turn, is three correct scores ahead of Jason M in third.
Three crashed the Top Ten.
“Think For A Minute”: Matthew Murphy stays bottom, now only two points behind Dan M who, in turn, is 4 points off Pete C…
“Five Get Over Excited”: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 43 places is John Nunns – honourable mentions go to Neil O (+28), John D (+28), Chris D (+26), and Alex R (+24)
“Sheep”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 28 places is Predictz – dishonourable mentions go to Julian F (-19), John K (-19), Luke S (-18), Mark S (-18), Gareth M (-16), Peter M (-16), Paul F (-16), and Paul C (-16)
