The Anytime Notebook

It's that podcast you remember, +17.25pts for the season and all it took was for us to not have a bet for 3 months. Pleasure to see in the final coupon of the season with John, including jokes.

[Donald] Love is in the air. Petrol Stations marking up their [Tim] Flowers. A reduced coupon due to more than enough EFL teams being far too ambitious and playing in the FA Cup 4th Round. Nothing of the sort here, all we hear is, Radinio Balker.   Be Lucky.

Best thing about bad beats is after the dramatic sense of misjustice you console yourself knowing you must be SEEING IT LIKE A BEACHBALL. We go again. Be Lucky

Turns out “we’ll be back next week” was a bit optimistic. After a short break that turned into a long one, The Anytime Notebook is back. Still chasing anytime scorers, still talking ourselves into bets we probably shouldn’t, and still pretending this is the week we’ve cracked the puzzle. Be Lucky.

It will follow in the footsteps of other extraordinary features, who can forget 'The Due Index' or how about John's 'Bio Rhythms System Pick of the Week'. Don't worry there's still the usual trawl through the EFL coupon looking for goalscorers who need to score to win bets. Be Lucky.

Welcome to the Anytime Notebook. A weekly stumble through the greatest puzzle to solve in football, anytime goalscorers. Sadly no John this week, he hates the romance of the FA Cup so much he couldn’t bring himself to fire up MS notepad, fear not though, a few selections this week with the JB seal of approval. We needed a guest, not just anyone, when I think back to prime Twitter judges from the last decade, I think Mark Stinchcombe. Mark knows a good price when he see one and lends his eye to some goalscorers across The Championship slate and FA Cup.
