“To be honest, I got schadenfreude…”

     

“Come Dancing”:

After last week’s shenanigans it had to be a better week, eh? Well, for most of you, it was! Even this week’s loser wasn’t really that much of a loser… But this bit is about winners! So. 28 punters scored more than thirty points this week – which is good for them as it transpired – but four of those broke into 40 point territory and all of them were in with a shout of nabbing the £20 prize. George T proved to be a not-like-Ange-Aussie with only Bournemouth denying him and Ryan G was also undone by the team from Boscombe. And the team from Fulham Broadway. The team that done over his team from Liverpool… Andy F will be kicking himself that he missed Friday night’s games cos unlike Everton, he missed out on by two points! Meaning, for the second week on the trot, Lily Templeton 44 (8) has scooped up some prize money & Week 2 Winter 2025 is forever next to her name! Her 3 x 5-pointers-eight- correct-score haul put her in profit for the season already! Will Grigg, eat your heart out…   Congrats young lady, back in the day, your mum blazed a trail for Belfast by becoming the first woman to win a PAS league title & PAS Champions League – so I guess it’s in the genes, eh?!   The Enlightened Eight Assists – A. Semenyo (90’+6) – Bournemouth      

“You Really Got Me”:

We’ve got 102 real people playing this season (well done us!), and it would seem everyone is upping their game! Only two scored less than 15 points this week as correct scores proved to be very elusive for half the playing field. Surprisingly, only 2 players registered “zero” in the column marked “CS” – mad! (Oh, Olly O!) And! Single-digit scores were absent. Bravo? Matthew Stafford 14 (0) you really are all alone this week…but Paul F kinda kept you company – bless.            

Correct Score of the Week:

Well i’ll be…most popular score was Wrexham’s 1-1 draw with Birmingham – 26 of youse got that!   Eleven got very annoying last minute spoiling Bournemouth 3 Fulham 1 8 just knew Swansea would score against Leicester for a 1-3 Seven were grateful for the 3-1 Ipswich derby day win over Norwich 4 lapped up the injury time joy of Celtic 3 Motherwell 2 Sean K was proper grinning at Man City’s 0-1 at Brentford Elliot D nabbed the form book upsetting Portsmouth 1 Middlesbro 0   However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to David Goggin for his every-dog-has-its-day-even-in-Scotland inspired, Aberdeen 4 Dundee 0!                  

Bet of the Week:

Rob C was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble (that’s a home, an away and a draw) selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.   And guess what?! We wooooooooooooooonnnnnnnn!!!   “League One special…” Bolton (H) – yes! Wimbledon (A) – yesssss!! Northampton/Port Vale (D) – oh yeah!!!     So, £28 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd –  magnifico! Stellar performance Bert <three clapping emojis & a kiss>   Danny A, Predictz & Jack B are in joint 60th – the Stalybridge Red was first out the hat, so…   Danielsan, I need your 3 team treble (H, A & D) by Friday please! Or Thursday. Or Saturday. Or Sunday…   Vamos!          

Table News:

   

“Sunny Afternoon”:

Lily Templeton stays in the top slot, 8 points ahead of Andy F who, in turn, is three points ahead of Elliot D in third.   Six crashed the Top Ten.      

“Stop Your Sobbing”:

Matthew Stafford remains to the bottom of the pile, 5 points behind Chris W, who, in turn, is 1 correct score off Paul F…

“Angel of the North…”:

 

“Pull Shapes“

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Arsenal – PAS!

 

Anyway…

I’ll cut to the chase cos this is waaaay late!

It was all about 30 points + this week – and, 7 of the 103 signed up for this season did just that – go team!

Luke S, Ciaran N & Neil T hit the sweet spot, I went one better (IKR!) and Jamie S went 1 more point beyond that –  impressive starts people…

So that left two punters out front, one had a Super Sunday & a couple of spoonfuls of 90 min+ goal assisted correct scores & the other didn’t but went one better on the late late correct scores.

In fact if the first game of the new season didn’t have 93rd minute OG, all this blabber would be irrelevant!

We have a tie, ladies & gents!

Congrats to Lily Templeton & Elliot Davy 33 (6) who will equally love and hate WBA respectively, but share the £20 weekly prize – bravo!

The best week to win as you can’t lose now! (Actually… – Maths Consultant)

 

The Sharing Sixers

 

 

 

“Because It’s Not Love (But It’s Still a Feeling)”:

Did you score 25 points+ this week?

Wow, we’re awesome, aren’t we?!

Thirty seven(!) punters couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week  – and five of those couldn’t muster a correct score.

Shocking.

And 3 of those couldn’t get into double figures!

Shocker!

Matthew S & Leo C were spared big blushes courtesy of, well, a new record low?! (Dan! Dave! Get the archive files out!)

Yep, Laura Harrison 3 (0) actually managed to do something that I for one, reckon is harder than getting 50 points!

Erm, bravo?!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite tame actually…most popular score was Arsenal’s late (but utterly grrreat!) 1-2 win over Toon – 29 of youse got that!

 

Eighteen got Hearts 3 Falkirk 0

7 got Bournemouth’s “Desmond” at Leeds

Five believed in Paliss. A 2-1 kinda belief…

4 had Villa’s 3-1 win over Fulham

Stuart F & Predictz doffed a cap to Coventry’s 3-0 deconstruction of Birmingham

Sam A got the dull-all at Deepdale

Dave C said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Charlton 3 Blackburn 0

Chris D soaked up the big correct score vibes at Griffin Park

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Luke Stafford for his even-in-Wigan-we-scoff-at-those-charlatans inspired, Chelsea 1 Brighton3!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 83rd will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 60th in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 33rd in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 83rd…yeah?!

Good.

 

So, there was a clutch of players there this week, but our fave YamYam Rob Currin is first up.

Bert, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! This season we’ll go with 1 home win, 1 draw & 1 away win. Just, because…

 

Don’t fancy that? Well, it doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or dogs! Or fighting crickets! But not cricket…that’s a step too far!

 

Let’s get off to a winning start for a change.

 

No pressure mate..
