Pebbles.Fistful.Hit.Door.Barnes…
A bit like blue crystal meth, you may drift in & out of fashion but you’ll always be what others are benchmarked against (yep, i’m watching Breaking Bad again…).
In days of yore, the Brothers Morris & their brigade regularly cleared out the PAS coffers for appointed bursar Mark S to lock away their gambling-gotten gains in a safe rumored to be in the vaults of Mr Thomas’s Chop House in Manchester.
Well, the “Syndicate” is back in fashion folks!
This week saw are whopping thirty-five people smash in 30 points or more, 5 topped forty or more!
Rowan M & he of the “Syndicate”, Richard H, went close with some serious scoring (yeah, serious scoring for one of them!)
Nick H was literally crossing the finish line when up rocked Daniel James with a seriously impressive finish at Elland Road (funny he couldn’t do that from half the distance a week ago, but hey…)
Our £20 weekly winner will rightly claim that 97th minute goal sealed his victory, but that was only part of a whopping 19 points that came from goals scored in added-on time!
Paul Henshaw 43 (7) is the golden boy this week – I’m sure your peers will toast you well P!
The shadowy “Syndicate” is back people.
Beware!
…and at the other end of the scale, I think we had first!
Only one player scored under 15 points this week.
Only one player got zero correct scores.
Andy Brown 14 (0) it was only you.
I’m sure the Syndicate boys will buy you a beer mate….
Correct Score of the Week:
My word…most popular score was Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw with Paliss AND Rangers’ 3-1 win over Hibs– 24 of youse & us got that!
Twenty one lapped up the injury time joy of Leeds 3 Hull 1
17 were all over the 0-3 to the Celtic at Livingston
Twelve(!) felt Fergie vibes when that 97th minute Ipswich goal secured a 9 pointer 3-2 v Southampton
10 were grateful to Jamie V for the 3-1 Foxes win over the Canaries
Four got Watford’s “Desmond” with Leeds
Pete B, Lee T & Dickie H had Barrow’s 3-1 win over Grimsby
Julian F decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at the Etihad. And he did…
However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rowan Marriott for his sorry-about-my-BotW-but-I-was-keeping-this-one-for-myself inspired, Newcastle 4 West Ham 3!
Bet of the Week:
Rowan Marriott was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 8 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – one to avoid me thinks…
Suman Kaflee is at 83rd this week….
Herr K, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!
Gonna go all Bundesliga on us?!
Table News:
All change! Andy Kelly moves up 1 to the top of the tree, 6 points ahead of Paul V who, in turn, is one point ahead of Roshan T in third…
Two crashed the Top Ten!
Neil Critchlow is still bottom, but now only one point behind Thomas S who, in turn, is ten points adrift of Predictz…c’mon boys!
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Nick Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Rowan M (+18), Simon Lindq (+16), Julian F (+16), Paul H (+27), and El Presidente (+18).
“Dream On”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Andy Fowler – dishonourable mentions go to Andy B (-22), Paul C (-17), Elliott D (-24), and Patricia F (-19).

And Another Thing:
“After the [court] judgment, [Manchester United] absolutely wanted me to speak to the press. I didn’t want to but they said it’s important you have to speak to the press. So I said, OK I will speak to the press, in the sense that they want me to speak – I’ll say any old thing. They wanted me to speak, I spoke. It just came out and then I left. And the press, they all tried to find a sense to it and make it all philosophical. You know, it just came out like that; maybe it came from my subconscious and maybe unconsciously it created a sense, but the best sense of it was, you make me speak, I speak and who cares whether the words make sense” – Eric Cantona ends almost three decades of speculation as to the meaning of those “seagulls” and “sardines” remarks.
