Once more I find myself apologising for a lack of recent activity with this interwebble diarablog.
To hurriedly summarise, the w/e 2 was unsuccessful. Crawley failed to score against Manchester United, and my Goal-Rush went as follows;
Ipswich Town 1-1 Hull City
Leeds United 2-2 Norwich City
Portsmouth 1-0 Barnsley
Reading 1-1 Watford
Colchester United 2-0 Walsall
Hartlepool 0-1 MK Dons
My free 5 line accumulator predictions/results were;
Birmingham 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday WRONG (ended 3-0)
Stoke City 1-1 Brighton Hove Albion WRONG (ended 3-0)
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Cardiff City WRONG (ended 2-1)
Ipswich Town 2-1 Hull City WRONG (ended 1-1)
Manchester United 3-1 Crawley Town WRONG (ended 1-0)
All I can say is thank goodness that accumulator was free!
That left my financial summary showing £46 gambled and £18 won.
And so onto last w/e, w/e 4 of February. As it was my birthday weekend I went with a 'small' Goal Rush with 4 matches, a 'big' Goal-Rush with 7 matches and a 5 match accumulator. Results and summaries went like so;
Everton 2-0 Sunderland *
Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 Blackpool *
Carlisle 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday *
Walsall 0-0 Rochdale *
Swansea 3-0 Leeds United
Middlesbrough 0-3 Queens Park Rangers
Huddersfield 2-2 Leyton Orient
That has to be the most unsuccessful Goal-Rush coupon I have EVER placed!
The 5 game accumulator was based on each away team winning;
Wolves 4-0 Blackpool (WRONG)
Doncaster 1-1 Watford (WRONG)
Hull 0-2 Cardiff City (CORRECT)
Middlesbrough 0-3 Queens Park Rangers (CORRECT)
Oldham 0-5 Peterborough United (CORRECT)
Sadly Blackpool and Watford let me down, and that leaves my finances now showing £52 gambled and £18 won.
And so finally onto this weekends predictions, the first w/e of March. Back to basics this weekend, with just two Goal-Rush coupons. One of 3 matches, the other of 9. The 9 will become 10 if Ladbrokes include the Peterborough game, but they never seem to include them at the moment (which I think is mighty poor form!)
So, here's my Goal-Rush selection for this weekend;
Newcastle United v Everton *
Reading v Middlesbrough*
Colchester United v Southampton *
Bolton v Aston Villa
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur
Queens Park Rangers v Leicester City
Cardiff City v Ipswich Town
Rochdale v MK Dons
Leyton Orient v Notts County
Once more, I am hoping for a champagne indulged weekend!
