“What makes me rise so high”:

The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries, Babyshambles, Sleeper, The Ordinary Boys, New Order, The Maccabees, The Mystery Jets, The Zutons, Graham Coxon, The Courteeners and of course, Kaiser Chiefs. Stephen Street 30 (5) can now add PAS weekly winner to his CV of success…

“And sometimes I’m caught in a landslide”:

This season is proving particularly “difficult” and none so more than this week! On the scree slope of sad scores, I present Savan Arora / Dan Pelgrom / Martin Stafford / Neil Templeton / Mark McDowell 6(0)

Correct Score of the Week:

If only those swine flu lot had scored one goal!!!… 9 got PNE 2 Middlesbro 2, 7 had the 0-0 bore-fest at the KC and 5 got comparable thriller of a stalemate at Swansea. Dave C / Tony B / Jon T got the 3-1 between Southampton & MK Dons, and Catriona J & Francesca F got Coventry 0 WBA 0. Rich G got Burnley’s 1-3 reverse v Wigan, my mum (Patricia F) got Man City 2 Fulham 2 (how??!) and Lisa G got the Houdini down at the Boleyn. However, this week’s best correct score goes to Will Oppong for his Barnsley 2 Bristol City 3.

Bet of the Week:

Jeez! If it wasn’t for those horrible people at the Lane we could have posted some prize money up this week – grrrrr! Surely, it will happen this week?!

Table News:

“…keep this heaven alive”:

Rich Lee stays top – pegged back to four points by Jamie T and Matt G…

“I don’t really know what I’m doing here…”:

Dave Nicklin is now 5 points adrift of Rich G in the wooden spoon position

“My beat’s so in time…”:

Highest climbers this week are lickle baby Francesca Fernandez & proper grown up Dave Crisp, both up a whopping 24 places to 31st and 33rd respectively. Honourable mentions for Stephen S (+18), Jon T (+11), Tony B (+16) and Mark G (+13)

“…twisting out of sight”:

Falling furthest this week is Savan Arora down 19 places to 32nd – dishonourable mentions for Andy C (-12), Jazz S (-11), Danny A (-14), Dan P (-13) and Martin S (-14)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Mark Se is on the promos at 11th (non mover), Julian F is at 13th (-5), Danny B is at 17th (-5), Jazz S is on the BotW 23rd (-11), Gareth M is at 27th (non mover), Dave C is at 33rd (+24), Richard H is on the BotW 42nd (+10), Dave McS is at 44th (-4), El Presidente is at 52nd (+6), Howard T is at 57th (-9), Patricia F is on the BotW 65th (-1), Olly O is at 67th (-1) and Rich G is at 70th (non mover)

PAS Cup 2010:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2010 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is Savan Arora.

And Another Thing:

Despite being placed on 30 days “at risk of redundancy” I will try really really really hard not to do an Arfur Fowler with the (Christmas) prize fund… promise!

Cheers,
Pab

Life’s A Beach:

He may be part of that band of LFC supporters that aren’t actually from the city (no, he’s not Norwegian – try Runcorn) but it really hurts when his team surrender the title so early for the, ooh, what is it now, 20th year on the trot? However, winning this week’s £20 should keep Neil Meredith 43(8) in cans of Skol for a good few weeks to help soften the blow…well, he’s not gonna be spending it on airfare to Madrid either is he?!

’Ssup B*tch!:

We at PAS Towers are having a particularly traumatic football season both on and off the PAS pitch – Dave Nicklin 8(0) has now taken it down another notch…

Correct Score of the Week:

I thought it was a bad week… 12 got WBA 3 Reading 1, 7 had the Dingle derby ding-dong at Ewood, 5 got the Arsenal 3-1 and 4 got the nil-nil between Leicester & Derby. Jon A / Mark McD / Will O were rewarded for their faith in the Villa and Mark Sh & Ben McK got the 1-3 Saints win at Oldham. Lisa G got off to a flyer with Scunthorpe 3 Sheff U 1 and the Missus (F) managed conjure up four points from Everton 1 Wolves 1. But, best score this week goes to Vim Gupta for his “I know the SPL” Celtic 0 Motherwell 0.

Bet of the Week:

This is isn’t going to plan as we’ve yet to make money for any BotW spot prize slot or a weekly winner – can the Wool baaa-ck something decent? He’ll be playing for BotW spot prize slot 23

Table News:

“..you’re gonna see it in the fullness of time”:

It’s a “plastics” top two but Rich Lee stays top pegged back to five points by Week 4 winner Neil M. Andy C leads the chasing pack in 3rd

“You’re gonna have to find a way”:

Rich G climbs off the bottom and leaves Dave Nicklin 3 points adrift in 71st

“…don’t you fear anything”:

Highest climber this week is a resurgent Will Oppong up a whopping 29 places to 37th. Honourable mentions for Neil M (+27), Matt W (+20), Michelle F (+17), Stephen S (+15) and Gareth M (+16)

“Did you maybe lose your way?”:

Falling furthest this week is Neil Templeton down 26 places to 51st – dishonourable mentions for Greg E (-15), Danny A (-24), Stephen P (-24), Sam A (-13) and Mark G (-23)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes!

“I can’t see further than my own nose at this moment”:

oh what a week! I feel so bad I think I need the doctor…which is convenient as Savan Arora is this week’s prize winner netting £20 thanks to his very impressive score of 45 (6) while all else floundered cursing France, Portugal and Ukraine for scoring one goal too many – well done Savan, don’t forget to rub your bruv’s nose in it!

“I’m ready to be heartbroken”:

He’s been away for a few weeks but John McSherry 11(0) enters back into the fray with a trickle rather than a splash…

Correct Score of the Week:

Bumper week – 19 got En-ger-land, 17 got San Marino’s 0-3, 14 got Portugal’s 4-0, 11 got France’s 5-0, 8(!) amazingly got Kazakhstan to score against Croatia, 5 got France’s other result v Austria and 4 got Portugal’s other result v Hungary. Dan P / Jamie T / Martin S got one of the two Irish 0-0s (Czech v Norn Iron), Patricia F & Louise B had Spain to just edge Armenia and Patricia F (what’s going on Mum?!) / Matt G got the 2-2 thriller in Dublin on Saturday. Jamie T got the other 0-0 (Eire v Montenegro) and Simon L (welcome back Simon after all these years!) got Sweden 4 Albania 1.But, best score this week is Lisa Grey for her inspired 9 pointer that was Italy 3 Cyprus 2.

Bet of the Week:

If I had a penny for every person who said “ooh, I just missed out on a couple of big scores this week” I’d have 9p. Which is 9p more than Martin S brought in for spot prize slot 42…it’s not going well this… maybe the good doctor will cure our ailments…

Table News:

“..you are the crown jewels”:

Rich Lee stays top & opens up an 9 point lead from the fast rising Andy C who in turn, is one point ahead of Mark F

“I’ve got my life a complication here to sort out”:

Debutant Rich Graeme slips to the bottom 1 point away from Jo L and my mum

“Jealousy is more than a word now..”:

Highest climber this week is (clue Cilla) Savan Arora up a whopping 48 places to 15th. Honourable mentions for Jamie T (+44), Nick H (+25), Simon L (+25), Ben McK (+23), Clare T (+27) and Howard T (+19)

"..feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly:

Falling furthest this week is Scott Angus down 28 places to 54th – dishonourable mentions for Anders H (-19), Martin S (-22), Michelle F (-18), Gary B (-26), Paul J (-18) and John McS (-20)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes!

Christine Bleakley – fair play to Adrian Chiles, but you have to say the girl could eat an apple through a letterbox…

In a season already blighted by IT issues, the worst scenario has now happened – the PAS nerve centre has blown up and all appears to be lost (boo hoo!). Last night, I was all ready to abandon this season and just cry and beat the floor with my fists (after the PC natch), but as one stalwart said, “surely if you’ve saved all your sent emails you can piece it all back together?”

The good news is that I do indeed have all my sent emails saved so I can reclaim all the bits I need to put it back together (never trust memory sticks for too long mi amigos!) but it may take some time as this weekend I’m away (DJing tonight and back down in Ldn for the weekend tomorrow).

So… bear with me please, Week 3 result/table will be late (I’ll try and determine the winner so they can do the BotW) but if we press on with Week 4 I should be able to catch up pretty soon…

Apologies for our ineptitude, lessons have been learned (or is it learnt? don’t remember learning that..)

Cheers,
Pab

Week 3 scoring looks like this at the cut off point of half way (I think you can tell who got the France score right..) – all to play for then!

Player        | Wk | Corr Res | Corr Scores | Corr Score Bonus | Goal Bonus | Tot Pts
Savan Arora   |  3 |     9    |      3      |         1        |      5     |   24
Jazz Sian     |  3 |     9    |      3      |         0        |      5     |   23
Neil Templeton|  3 |     8    |      2      |         0        |      5     |   19

Martin S has gone the way of the Week 1 Bet of the Week and posted a resounding £0 on all selections – very disappointing… not even his “safe” away treble could earn him a £1 and spot prize slot 42nd, £2!

Week 3 round up on Thursday – Week 4 scoresheets will be round shortly…

Cheers,
Pab

“Wanna Kiss Myself…”:

very low scoring week thanks to more random scorelines over the weekend. Rich L was up there again as was Michelle F and her bruvver Danny A (have fun on your US tour!) but king of the week this week is Martin Stafford 29 (5). Well done Martin, £20 to go and treat your Wigan pal to that pudding & pea-wet nonsense…oh, and a can of Coke!

“…in other words, sucker”:

Last week’s worst scorer ended up having a baby (that’s how bad the pain is! Congrats to Clare T & Neil T – we expect lil Lily to be playing PAS next season!) so let’s hope the same fate doesn’t befall Ben McKeown (sort’ve might but it’d be really early) Dave Crisp (no chance, he’d have to sell his scooter) and Francesca Fernandez 9(0) (don’t even go there…)

Correct Score of the Week:

Bleak week – 4 got Bolton 2 Spurs 2 and 4 got West Ham 2 Fulham 2. Best score this weeks is shared by Rich Lee & Mark J Brown for their outrageous punt on Wolves 0 Portsmouth 1

Bet of the Week:

Seems like Rich L wants to keep all his correct results all to himself even though he could’ve earend out of it! All three bets fell woefully short so spot prize slot 23 has the grand total of £0 after one of its four goes. Martin S will be playing for spot prize slot 42 and, of course, himself this week…

Table News:

Bigger:

Rich Lee opens up an 8 point lead at the top from Greg E in second – Danny A & Jamie S share third spot

Rougher:

Howard Thomas slips to the bottom 4 points away from Dave C

Bolder:

Highest climber this week is (clue Cilla) Martin Stafford up a whopping 45 places to 14th. Honourable mentions for Anders H (+23), Michelle F (+26), Anthony Y (+22), Mark J B (+29) and Tony B (+33)

Tougher:

Falling furthest this week is Ben McKeown down 37 places to 54th – dishonourable mentions for Louise B (-19), Paul J (-22), Nick H (-32), Dave N (-18), matt D (-20), Vim G (-23), Francesca F (-27) and Dave C (-23)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Mark F is on the promos at 11th(-3), Jon T is at 13th (+2), Mark De S C is at 17th (+2), Neil M is on the BotW 23rd (+7), Stephen P is at 27th (+8), Andrew D is at 33rd (-10), Mark G is on the BotW 42nd (+15), Neil B is at 44th (+17), Nick H is at 52nd (-32), Jo L is at 57th (-5), Rich G is on the BotW 65th (-3), Vim G is at 67th (-23) and Dave C is at 70th (-23)

PAS Cup 2010:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2010 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is Stephen Street.

And Another Thing:

It’s August, Hmmmm, I know, buy West Ham and sell Arsenal – could I have got it any more wrong??!

Please be aware that Week 3 is International Week and it goes on to the Wednesday (how exciting!) AND if you miss submitting scores for the Saturday games you CANNOT then submit scores for the Wednesday games!
