Monies still outstanding! Some I know are “pending” but the Hall of Shame continues… Mrs F, Mark G, Lisa G, Matt W, Dan R, Greg C, Karl C, John G, Julian F, Steve T, Gary B and Ben H – coooooooommmmmme onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Someone has paid in from “Bournemouth” – let me know who you are please!

Back to Week 2 proceedings….

Stray Cat Strut :

Up one place to top the pile, Ben H has a huuuge 1 point gap from the Weeks 1 & 2 winners.

78 Stone Wobble :

Oh dear! The young lady chasing “back to back winter titles” has a mountain to climb now – Clare N slips 10 places to 48th just behind Danny A on CS difference…

Running Up That Hill :

Highest climber is Martin S up a whopping 27 places to 14th – honourable mentions to Wayne C (+18) Pam R (+14) Julian F (+13) Pam D (+26) Jamie S (+18) and Mark McD (+15)

If I Should Fall From Grace :

Falling furthest is the Lisa & Mark G who both drop 19 places to 43rd and 27th respectively (can you tell they were away and did their scores early?!). Dishonourable mentions to Dan B, Mark F & Anders H (all -18), Will O & Greg E (both -16)

Close & A Cigar! :

Up 6 places into the 11th slot goes Rich L

Spotters :

Matt G up 4 to 17th, Neil T down 14 to 23rd, Greg E down 16 to 32nd, Gary B down 11 to 39th and Neil M down 10 to 46th

Robin’s Volley :

A lovely timed last minute goal from Ashley “When You Were” Young gave the £20 weekly prize to Wayne Connolly 33(5) pipping current wooden spoon holder Pam D at the post. Well done Wayne, bet Mr Glazer can’t wait to take your winnings off you mate!

Joey’s Blue Moon :

What do a Swede, a placcy Scouser and Belfaster? (onian? ee?) have in common? Correct. Tick. Yes, they all got 10(0) this week – Anders H, Neil M and Clare N youse are rubbish! Oh, and Clare, what’s happened to that pre-season prediction??!

Correct Score of the Week :

Quite unbelievably lots got Chelsea – Villa correct and Bristol City’s 0-0 draw with Oldham. Howie T, Dave N & Matt W got Derby 3 Southend 0 and Wayne C and yours truly bagged 8 points from Hearts 4 Dundee Utd 0. No one got a unique score of note so Ben A still reigns…

Bet of the Week :

Told ya Evertonians don’t win (much). Hope you stayed away from Mark J B’s double – we are now £10 down and looking to Wayne C for relief (ooo-errr)

Table News :

I’ll send round the table a bit later on.

Cheers,
Pab

What We Noticed This Week :

How much was Jamie Rednapp salivating over Gary Speed? He loves him – DJ Optimo is just like Celtic in Europe, irresistible on home soil but rubbish anywhere else – Stevie Me & Crouchigol’s hairstyles – the overexcitable Pompey bench – Norwich fan power – the fact it’s really really hard to watch Soccer AM with a hangover – the hot summer (hot hot summer) is now definitely over…

A few things to note:

• Pam R is Top Girl
• Pam D isn’t bottom
• Mr 2-0 did really well this week and no one was with him
• Matt G – nothing to do with the table, but are you aware of the Palace – Coventry score??? He he he! I take it our annual agreement is in full affect…

All prizes are valid at the end of Week 13.

New prize – we’ve added the “Close, But You Actually Get A Cigar” slot on 11th. Fresh back from Cuba, it’s a splendid big bad boy from the range Fidel used to personally hand out to visiting dignitaries. Mark McD will vouch it takes about a day to smoke…

To be invited to PAS Spring 2007 / PAS Cup 2007 you need to finish in at least 32nd postion.

Funds for the Cup competition currently stand at £117.50 – nice!

Week 2 scoresheet to follow…

Cheers,
Pab

Hot :

The freak football money machine that is Jazz Sian moves increases his lead to an astounding 25 points. He may have name that sounds like a z-list Welsh female lounge act but his predicting is TOTP. Tony B, Dan R & Mark J B lead the chase in vain…

Cold :

Pieman supreme, Neil Birchall languishes 10 points adrift of Danny B who is reflecting the Chelsea model of consistency

Bubbling :

Highest climber this week is Greg Edwards up a giant stairwell of 30 places to 28th – props to Tony B (+28), Mark J B (+22) and Ben H (+24)

Tepid :

Gary Blackburne may be good at shooting clay pigeons but he’s dropped the most places this week (-22) to 27th – those to scoff at are Neil M (-14), Craig P G (-18), Mr. 2-0 (-17), Clare N (-16), Ben McK (-17) and Pam D (-17)

Marmite :

Love it or hate it, finishing here on Week 13 will bring a you a big jar of Guinness Marmite – Mark McD has his knife at the ready and toast in the toaster…

Spotters :

Current residents are 14th – Janine R (-14), 17th – Mark F (non mover (again!)), 23rd – Martin S (+11), 33rd – Simon L (non mover), 39th – Gareth M (+10), 46th – Jon T (-10), 58th – Pam D (-17) and 64th – Ben A (-10)

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Julian F is ( -4) to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Fratton Park :

He needed anything but a Villa win and my good friends at the Lane made him sweat for it! Thanks to the 2nd best defender in France last year (the first was Sagna, natch) Tony Bowley 49 (8) picks up the £20 weekly prize and posts a handsome winning score that will be hard to beat this season. Well done Mr B, I’m sure you can buy back Marlon Harewood for Forest with that fistful of cash…

Deepdale :

As uninspiring as Man Yoo grinding out another 1-0, Pam Dyson 12 (0) is hoping for better things after this current flop.

Correct Score of the Week :

Twelve monkeys got Celtic’s 3-0, six of the best got Hearts 1 – 3 at St Mirren and Stephen P & Danielle F got 8 points for Hull City 3 Ipswich Town 1. Correct score of the Week this week goes to Wayne Connolly for his inspired PNE 0 Bristol City 0. It’s not all goals goal goals y’know…

Bet of the Week :

4 out of 7 was good but not good enough when you need 7 out of 7. We go into Week 3 £10 down and looking to Tony B to recoup…

News :

Ever wondered what your fellow PASer’s look like? See that Steven Beale, that’s Mark Fawke that is!

Cheers,
Pab

Esplendido :

He’ll be flinging toffees back at the players when he’s next at Goodison – Mark J Brown 40(4) is flush with Week 1’s £20 prize. Well done my Scouse friend – will you be spending the money on elocution lessons or losing it all in 30 seconds at the online casino?

Cigarillo:

PAS virgin Mark McDowell 12(0) won’t forget losing his cherry for a long long while after this first time flop. Predicting the score for AFC Wimbledon is a long way from playing with the big boys Marky! Stick to the ping pong son…

Correct Score of the Week:

Dreams are quite often hard to decipher. Of course, it all makes sense now! What I thought was a eight in the Land of Nod was actually a three – ho hum… Loads of you back in reality knew the Arse would get three against The Sheffield Tavern. Likewise for the Jambos 1-3 and amazingly, the 0-0 between Leicester and Colchester. Props to John G (Ipswich 3 Sunderland 1), Mark J B (Plymouth 3 Norwich 1) and Howie T / Matt G (Southend 0 Cardiff 3) but this weeks accolade goes to Ben Alder for his Reading 1 Man Utd 1 prediction – which leads us nicely to…

Bet of the Week :

Our very own World Champion (where’s the photo with the Cup??) Simon L was tasked on the opening week and his “safe” treble fell at the final hurdle thanks to Palace legend Stevie Coppell putting out a side to stop “unbeatable” Man Yoo – boo hoo! We go into Week 2 £5 to the bad. Mark J Brown is next up. It should be good kids – he likes a flutter.

Table News :

I’ll send round the first table a bit later on – see below.

All info will be up on the NEW (this!) webpage – but I’m not telling you where it is yet cos it’s not quite finished….Week 2 scoresheet and Week 1 table will mailed round later…

Cheers,
Pab

Can you believe Jazz Sian got the 7-4!!

Well he didn’t – but he will finish 2nd or 3rd again this week – the man is a machine – someone stop him!

This week’s winner will either Tony Bowley or Mark J Brown

Mark needs 0-1 to Villa to win it or any Villa win to split the weekly prize.

Any other score and Tony will win his first week in his debut season.

Cheers,
Pab
