Beat the Expert - Week 1 : fixtures for 5th January 2013
Tansey is level pegging with The Expert
After the first week of predictions Chris Tansey will feel as proud as punch as he drew 4-4 with The Expert. Only five matches were compeleted in Division One, as the St Ishmaels versus Tenby was postponed. The pair got all their predictions right except for Narberth gaining a surprise 2-0 win at home against Monkton Swifts.
"I think Mr Tansey has been doing his homework," suggested The Expert. "Not only has he got his work colleagues helping him I've been told from a good source that he's been phoning Daisy Picton. I think we should be predicting who Sunderland will beat in the Premiership every week. Then that would put a spanner in the works!"
Can Tansey finally break his duck?
Will it be fourth time lucky for Chris Tansey as he tries to beat The Expert after two solo defeats and another occasion when he joined forces with his staff at Manderwood's and they still floundered to defeat?
After successive defeats to Matthew 'Priceless' Price and David Albert Isaac Samuel Yosser Picton our resident 'Mr Grumpy' was surprisingly up-beat when he supplied us with his Scorecasts on Sunday.
“I know I've had a bit of a blip but I'm still the best in the west as far as tipping goes and I shall certainly prove that when and if I decide to invite 'Priceless' and 'Daisy' back next season.
“In the meanwhile I'll resharpen my teeth on Tansey, who is a decent bloke and the most successful manager ever in local football when he was boss of Hakin United. But he was a bit slow on the turn when he played for The Vikings and I'll have him back-pedalling over the next four weeks.
“We did offer him some second division matches as well but he declined, saying he didn't know much about that section because all his footballing experience was at the top level. From his previous tipping here that doesn't stack up but he can't say he hasn't had his chance. He has put on a bit of weight since he stepped down so I have ordered an extra-large 'I lost to The Expert' tee-shirt in readiness – and this time he had better wear it!â€
