Week 1 Extra - Stragglers and shame

My dear Maniacs.

Last night's report woke a couple of stragglers up to the fact they had backed winners.  They both want ragging for being late, but as it's Week 1 I'll cut them an inch of slack.

Matthew Davies had 2 winners (6/4 & 4/1) and a non-runner in a horse treble, giving him £25.00.  Steve Hughes had three football matches postponed in a 4 match acca, leaving Welling 10/3 as a single winner for £8.67.

The big story, however, is entirely down to me.  Michael Goodlet, whom I had assumed until recently was Mick Nagy's alter ego, had a five match football roll-up come in.  He did everything right and shouted up on Twitter.  I completely missed it.  Not only that, I slated him this morning for being a ne'er-do-well, only to find that it was all my fault.   His picks were Soton 23/20, Cardiff 23/20, Wigan 8/13, Blackburn 3/4 & Leicester 6/5, putting him in 2nd place with a handsome £57.50.

I've let him down and I've let you all down.  I fully expect Joe Kinnear to be given my job later today.  After all, it was all down to Newcastle really.
