Arsenal over CP.   Tot over Stoke.  United over Villa. Parlay 300 to win 1150 bananas.    Add city over Chelsea for 100 4 team par and it's 915 bananas.  Gonna be a good weekend

And because I want a lotto ticket.  United W Arsenal W Liverpool W Chelsea Draw Spurs Draw Leicester Draw parlay.  50 to win 9k bananas

This looked good if not for Stoke getting points v Tott. There is always one upset that is why parlay's drive me nuts.

2 goals in the final 13 min is a kick in the arse.    I usually go 3-1.   Stoke will be even better with Shaqiri in the hole...

A miraculous performance by Saint of Old to vault to the lead with 6 correct picks including two correct scores for 12 points.  However, Saint of Old (and everyone else) was caught by surprise by the inexplicably efficient picks made by FCGrizzliesGrad who only picked 4 games correctly (one short of a Franklin Wonder Five) but somehow managed to foresee three correct scores for 13 points.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Last year I was decent at picking results but not scores... seems like I'm doing the opposite this year. I'm already halfway to the 8 correct scores I had last season. I might make it to double figures before my goal of week 30

[lastguyoffthebench]

This weeks losing parlay:   
Chelsea over WBA             Remember watching Pulis mastermind this game in which Chelsea didn't care last year, but its a must for Chelsea to get max points here.
City over Everton               Tricky fixture here, but with Aguero back they simply have too much pace for the Everton backs.
Arsenal over Liverpool       Arsenal at home and healthy will get the job done.
Stoke +.5 over Norwich     Barca Jrs should go on the road and beat the newly promoted side with Shaqiri making his debut and scoring a goal.
Spurs +.5 over Leicester   Leaky defenses, should be plenty goals in this one.  Over 3 goals is an easy winner that I may include in parlay.
United over Newcastle.     Will Rooney finally get a goal?  They have been lacking in the offensive third, but should take care of business at Old Trafford.

Risking 200 bananas to win 2500 bananas.     (currently out 500 bananas on the year).
 
Staying away from the likes of So'ton and Sunderland as they are still sorting out issues in the back.   

Getting great value on Spurs +165 bananas over Leicester straight up and Stoke +200 bananas straight up on the road as separate plays.    As long as they atleast draw, the parlay will be alive and well...  I expect both of them to win on the road.
