  1. Hi @barney9386, It's kind of a collaborative effort with @The Brigadier and @Tumbleweed King posting the horse racing tips and @Fader posting the football tips. @MCLARKE also posts horse racing tips on the forum whilst @Darran is our non-league football expert who also dabbles in horse racing. Really pleased to hear you enjoy reading them. Thank you for the kind words. The guys do some excellent work here.
  2. The swinging of the leadership pendulum continued this week in the latest round of the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League. It's @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane who have sneaked back into first place and now hold a narrow 2-point lead over Steve Durrant's EsteSakaMinging. Interestingly, the chasing pack continue to reduce that breakaway as well. Manager of the Week went to Thomas Kemp with his Zen team. The decision to captain Son Heung-min was a stroke of genius with the Tottenham man bringing home 34 points by himself. The total score was helped along thanks to impressive displays from Cole Palmer, Ross Barkley, and Illia Zabarnyi. At the other end of the scale, it was a tough week for many with the average score being just 44 points this round. Unfortunately, that meant we saw one of the lowest weekly scores from our teams to take the lowest score of the week. The small consolation is that after earning just 12 points both @Steve75's Barrow Raiders and Elaine Charles's Likkle Lions (for the second time in just over a month!) can console each other in the village stocks! The deadline for transfers this week is 1:30pm UK time on Saturday 16th March. Best of luck all!
  3. I'm gutted I didn't get a chance to put the Luton bet on! Sadistically hoping they mess this up and draw 3-3 now!
  4. I'm wondering if Luton are a tempting price. Yes, their away form hasn't been great but they've still maintained that fighting spirit and Bournemouth are going through a woeful patch right now.

  12. Apologies for the late update this week! It's been hectic here at PL Towers with Cheltenham Festival just around the corner next week. Anyway, here is a quick update before next round of matches. It's still Steve Durrant's EsteSakaMinging who lead the way but the lead has now been cut to just 3 points by the second-placed @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane who refuses to drop off the pace. Two big names in Punters Lounge Fantasy Football folklore are also sniffing around the top spots with @Team Sagga's Team Sagga and @StevenKing's Lucky Pierre both in the hunt. Congratulations to @Faruk FC's Faruk FC took the Manager of the Week accolade this week! A superb 102-point haul was an impressive tally this round. It was a proper team effort with Alphonse Areola, Fabian Schar, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Gabriel Martinelli, and Ollie Watkins all hitting double figures. At the other end of the table, it was Kevin Barnett's X S Bohemians who only managed to get 24 points. Not the worst score we've seen down the weeks but still not enough to avoid the bottom scoring shame. It was always going to be an uphill task for old Kevin and his team with four players firing blanks in Pedro Porro, Pervis Estupinan, Diogo Jota, and Joao Pedro. Bend over, sunshine, it's time for your punishment! The deadline for this week's transfers is 11am UK time on Saturday 9th March. Best of luck to you all!
  13. Hi all, The Punters Lounge Cheltenham Festival 2024 Day 1 Tips Preview Podcast has officially been released. Check out the thoughts of @Darran and @The Brigadier as they run through which horses to watch across the seven races taking place on the first day of racing ahead of the 48-hour declarations. Do you agree with their views? Or do you have a different opinion? We are keen to hear your thoughts. Special shout out to our very own @Fader for his editing and production work!
  14. Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone of all identities, just when you thought the season had caught up with them they bounce back with a vengeance! After being knocked off top spot last week by @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane, Steve Durrant's EsteSakaMinging have hit back and returned to the summit. The drama never bloody ends, does it? The lead is now 13 points. Unlucky for some. Lucky for others. Dangerous for fantasy football managers! It wasn't quite the same high scoring week as the last round with both Chelsea and Liverpool being in Carabao Cup Final action but the Manager of the Week went to Arnie Booth's Aim High side with a tally of 83 points. The West Ham duo of Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus produced 30 of those points which helped. Not often the Hammers are responsible for such high scores! Douglas Luiz also added 15 points to the total with the Manchester City trio of Ederson, Nathan Ake, and Ruben Dias contributing 21 points between them. You will all be pleased to know that order has been restored in the universe with the Kindelan clan monopolising the worst score of the week again. Luke Kindelan's Medical Express City could only manage 18 points this week to finish as bottom scorer. It's becoming a family tradition it seems. Almost gone beyond shame now and come full circle to being something they should be proud about! Even so, in the village stocks with you Luke! Had it not been for Tyrick Mitchell and Evan Ferguson scoring 50% of those points, it could've been a lot worse! The deadline for this next round of transfers is 1:30pm UK time on Saturday 2nd March. Best of luck!
  15. Well, the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League never fails to offer up the drama does it! We have a new team at the top ladies and gents with @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane leapfrogging previous leader Steve Durrant's EsteSakaMinging to take a narrow 2 point lead at the summit. Big scores from the chasing pack also mean that the competition is becoming more wide open than ever before. What a time to be alive! The Manager of the Week was always going to be hotly contested with a couple of the big teams in Manchester City and Liverpool having double game weeks. Inevitably, we saw a number of team scores breach the 100-point mark. However, it was the 159th placed @UmoruFC's Umoru FC who tallied up a staggering 111 points to take the highest score this week. That massive total was due to the genius decision to play a bench boost. This alone added 13 points and was bolstered by high scores from players such as Manuel Akanji, Bukayo Saka, Erling Haaland, Ollie Watkins, and Dominic Solanke. At the other end of the scale, it was further proof of how high-scoring this week was with the lowest score being set at a record high of 33 points this week. The Kindelan family have regained their residency in the village stocks with Marie Kindelan's QVC Shopper VIP (undoubtedly the oddest team name in the league) taking that accolade. It was far from the worst team score this season and far from the worst team selection but this league is unforgiving at the best of times. So grab your veg and have a pop at the head of Marie! The deadline for transfers this week is 1:30pm UK time on Saturday 24th February. Best of luck everyone!
  16. Hi @Tez607, As you can see from our Kwiff promo code page, withdrawals can take anything between 24 hours to 5 business days depending on the withdrawal method you choose to use.
  17. Hi all, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this. Yes, we do have plans to bring these back in the next month or so. It's part of a wider site and forum revamp. The aim is to have them back by the end of March but we shall update you if that changes. So don't worry we haven't forgotten about them. In the meantime, make sure you follow @Fader's football tips on our main site.
  18. It's a shame Luton aren't playing Manchester United a couple of months ago because they'd have been a great underdog pick back then. Unfortunately, the Red Devils seem to be getting their act together again now. I'm wondering if Sheffield United to beat Brighton at 4/1 is worth a punt. They are showing glimpses of fight under Chris Wilder and the Seagulls have shown they have the odd slip-up in their locker.
  19. Norwich being available at odds of 10/11 to beat us on their home turf is very appealing. We are in a right state at the moment. Erol Bulut's tactics are all over the place. He doesn't know his best XI. He's reverting to an ultra negative approach. We have so many players who look short on confidence or have no confidence in the manager. I would literally back anyone to beat us right now. Only 2 wins in our last 8 league games... but I suppose both of those wins did come on the road. Nah, I'm fooling myself! Not to mention our record at Carrow Road is abysmal. We've only won 1 of the last 8 visits there and that came back in 2018.
  20. Looking like Glasner is all but confirmed today judging by reports. Interesting given he was 5/1 as recently as yesterday. The club have done well to keep it under wraps. Would you be happy with that appointment, @Mindfulness?
  21. Yeah, my apologies mate! It's nice to see someone with some background and, dare I say, sense that can give a balanced view. Odds on Roy to stay until the end of the season?
  22. OK, so I might be getting ahead of myself here but with Roy Hodgson listed with Betfair at 4/9 to be the next manager sacked in the Premier League, is it too early to look at the next permanent manager with Crystal Palace? Looking at the candidates on offer with BetVictor, there's a few names that are tempting to back. Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is the current favourite at 5/4. There is then former Nottingham Forest gaffer Steve Cooper at 5/1, former Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner also at 5/1, and former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter at 8/1. Personally, I think Cooper and Potter offer the best value but it would be a very Palace-type appointment if they took a risk with McKenna or Glasner. Who do you think is the most likely option? Or is there someone I've not mentioned like a Scott Parker, Frank Lampard, Julen Lopetegui, or even former Eagles player Gareth Southgate as wildcard picks? @Mindfulness, keen to hear your thoughts. Are you #RoyIn or #RoyOut? If the latter, who would be your pick as a fan of the club?
  23. The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League just keeps on getting better doesn't it! Unless your name is Steve Durrant that is. In his case, he undoubtedly can't wait for the season to finish! His EsteSakaMinging team may well remain top of the table but their lead ahead of @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane is now down to just 11 points. Whisper it quietly but the chasing pack behind the top two have also got their tails up with some big names from previous years and the forum in the mix! It was a high-scoring week in general with the average points scored up at 62 points. This saw a number of teams hit 90-point plus tallies but the stand out score this week was 100 points hit by Lars Haal's Franchise City. Captain Erling Haaland and midfielder Bukayo Saka led the scoring for Haal's men and a defensive line that contributed 41 points was key. Due to the high-scoring round, the Name of Shame is a harsh one this week with the lowest score being a far from disrespectful 24 points. That ignominy is shared by the duo of Elaine Charles' LikkleLions (clearly the week 8 warning where you avoided the lowest score by a single point is a lesson you've not learned!) and Paul Bachelor's The London Team. Looking at both teams, they are far from the sort of sides we usually seen taking this award each week but that's the way the cards have been drawn this week so... sucks to be them! The deadline for transfers this week is 11am UK time on Saturday 17th February. Best of luck to you all!
  24. Apologies for the late post for this last game week everyone! I was pre-occupied with a works conference in London and only just catching up on things. Steve Durrant remains the number one manager in the league with EsteSakaMinging but his lead at the summit has been cut by about a third after a solid week from second-placed @skyblues88 and their Show Me the Mane side. Durrant's side was let down by a keeper and defensive line that only managed 7 points between the five of them. In contrast, Jay Sahan's boys rode the Richarlison wave. Manager of the Week was a tough one this round. A number of players pushed the envelope with high scores in the 90s but it was a solitary three-figure total that took the accolade this week. Sam Wilson's Swish accumulated 103 points. The trio of Ollie Watkins, Phil Foden, and Alejandro Garnacho earned 72 points between them alone. The decision to captain Watkins was a stroke of genius. It was an odd week with scores completely polarised. Yes, we saw Wilson breach the 100-point mark but we also saw one of the lowest team totals of the season take the Name of Shame this week. Step forward Max Parker and his Royals team who could only muster 11 points. The success of Manager of the Week earlier in the season seems a lifetime ago now and a return to the dark days of last season appears to be real. At face value, the team looks far from a side that would do so poorly. However, the absence of Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min didn't help. Plus, if you have a front line of Eddie Nketiah, Yoan Wissa, and Darwin Nunez then you're probably asking for public humiliation in the village stocks! The transfer deadline for transfers for this round is 11am UK time on Saturday 10th February. Good luck to you all!
  25. The deadline for entries closed months ago sorry mate. Be sure to keep an eye out for next season's entry period over the summer.
