PASers,
Thanks for taking part in our 20th anniversary season – it’s been a (sort’ve) pleasure!

We’ll be back in late January for the second official 20th anniversary “season” – don’t worry, if you didn’t qualify for the Cup there will be an opportunity to play in the League where you can try and qualify for the summers World Cup…now, you don’t want to miss that, do you?!

All “prize winners” will receive their monies this week.

Feliz Natal! And make sure you come back in January…

Cheers,
Pab

ps – don’t forget to do the Poll instead of watching crap Christmas telly…. links here:PAS Poll 2009.

pps – you might notice the Week 13 “movers” and “shakers” are slightly different on the official table attached – that’s cos I’m an idiot and don’t check things properly before sending out the weekly update. God bless Dave N….

“…all is well”:

The North Country Boy Andy Chesworth 33(6) takes the last £20 of the winter season courtesy of one point from Neil O – well done Ches, think you’ll go to the derby semi final now?

“teeth knocked out, lying in a gutter somewhere”:

He came back this season after a long long hiatus and now probably wishes he didn’t… Simon Lindsay 7(0) heads up the last “shame spot” of the winter season – you’re still lovin’ the PAS though aren’t you Si?!

Correct Score of the Week:

Bleak mid winter week due to the postponements… 19 got Arsenal 3 Hull 0, Vim G & Cat J got Hearts 2 Celtic 1 (which was VERY bad news for Richard H!) and Mark Sh & Rich L got Nottm Forest 3 PNE 0. So, this week’s best correct score goes to Danny Bushell for his Rochdale 4 Shrewsbury 0 eight pointer.

Bet of the Week:

We wooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Props to Martin S for supplying a 6 team home win acca (Cardiff was called off) and putting £7.50 into BotW spot prize slot 65 as well as earning himself a few more pennies to add to his £20 weekly win!

Table News:

“You won’t be sad or broken tonight”:

Final table and round up to follow….

“wishing you were anywhere else but right here”:

As above – but I think you can guess who finished with the wooden spoon…

“you won’t be strung out…”:

Highest climber this week is Dave McSherry up a whopping 13 places to 39th. Honourable mentions for Andy C (+10), Neil B (+10), Mr 2-0 (+13) and Karl C (+12)

“aimlessly wandering through…”:

Falling furthest this week is Simon Lindsay down 17 places to 54th – dishonourable mentions for Mark F (-13), Jamie T (-14), Dan P (-12), Anthony Y (-14) and Anders H (-10)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of next week, you WILL win these prizes! Details to follow…

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… details to follow!

And Another Thing:

Yes, I know you’re dying to know what songs all those lyrics have been from over the weeks – well, here they are! How many did you get??! Why not make a little playlist for yourself to play on your MP3 thingy. Cos you really should own these…

Fairplay award of the season goes to Jamie Tofeili who owned up and admitted he sent his brothers scores by mistake instead of his own last week (thought it was weird the brothers getting exactly the same score!). Slight amendment to the table then, but the Top spots remain unaffected and still set for the closest finish ever on PAS…

Cheers,
Pab

“…like a ladder to the sun”:

We have another “double” winner! Matching Neil M’s feat of two weekly wins in a season, Martin Stafford 36 (7) picks up another £20 to spend the best way possible – betting on the footy! Sticking that score on Honduras Martin?

“Crying, crying, crying…”:

Bless her she must be knackered! Louise Briggs 10 (0) can always cite jet lag from Oz, late night nursing shifts and/or Citeh drawing AGAIN on her poor performance this week…

Correct Score of the Week:

Those Arora brothers must be on predicting drugs… 18 got Rangers 3 St Johnstone 0, 14 got the 3-0 at St Marys and 14 more got the 0-0 at Hull. 13 got Lincoln City 1 Rochdale 3 and 8 got the great Liverpool 1 Arsenal 2. Danny A & Karl C got Leicester 3 Sheff Wed 0 and Matt W & Dave N got Coventry 3 Peterboro 2. Cat J got Aberdeen 1 Hamilton 2 and the 2-2 at Stoke, Tony S got 2-2 at Oakwell and Paul H got the 2-2 between WBA & QPR. Paul J got a much needed 5 points via Hearts 0 Dundee Utd 0. However, this week’s best correct score and of the season so far, goes to Sam Arora for his historic score of Sp*rs 0 Wolves 1

Bet of the Week:

Oh man! Jo L spent sooo long picking her home wins and horrible “no history” Chelski go and spoil it almost immediately! I think we knew Neil B’s selections were going to fail… This means spot prize slot 42 will reward zilch- so don’t end up there on the final table next week! Our only hope of nay reward this season will be reliant on Martin S’s second attempt of the season – come on Martin spot prize slot 65 needs you! (and I might end up there!)

Table News:

“…hit the spot”:

Oh yes! We have a guaranteed grand stand finish on our 20th anniversary season! Timed to perfection, Jazz Sian goes top but only by a point just ahead of Rich L and Neil M. And just a point behind them come Will O and Matt W… all to play for then chaps – good luck!

“Shellshock!”:

Paul Jenner had a reasonably good week and is only 17 points behind Wayne C – can he pull off the great escape?!

“…climb, climb, climb higher”:

Highest climber this week is Dave Nicklin up a whopping 19 places to 44th. Honourable mentions for Neil O (+10), Martin S (+16), Jamie T (+10), Greg E (+14), Paul H (+12) and Sam A (+11)

“Makes me feel like a madman…”:

Falling furthest this week is Louise Briggs down 12 places to 58th – dishonourable mentions for Pete B (-9), Tony S (-9), Nick H (-10), Gareth M (-11) and Mr 2-0 (-9)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of next week, you WILL win these prizes! Jon A is on the promos at 11th(+5), Stephen S is at 13th (-1), Pete B is at 17th (-9), Rob H is on the BotW 23rd (+1), Tony S is at 27th (-9), Danny B is at 33rd (-9), Mark McD is on the BotW 42nd (+3), Dave N is at 44th (+19), Dave McS is at 52nd (+4), Rich G is at 57th (-6), John McS is on the BotW 65th (non mover), Scott A is at 67th (+3) and Wayne C is at 70th (-2)

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 Michelle Fernandez.

And Another Thing:

The famous PAS Poll is here – have a look, a little think and get involved!!

Cheers,
Pab

Dear PASers,
Apologies.

I’m just out of the sick pit and it’s not just the horrible week of Arsenal that’s turned my stomach (I definitely have a proper non man-flu illiness as I didn’t even got to Citeh last night…!).
Please find a truncated update (further apologies to the heroes/villians of the week that are denied their spot in the round up light!)…

For the record then –

Week 10 winner:

Olly Osmond 35 (5)

Week 10 loser

Lisa Grey 7(0)

Correct Score of the Week

Crystal Palace 3 Watford 0 (Mark J Brown)

Bet of the Week

crashed again just when the first fruits were within reach, Leeds failed at Kettering!!!

Normal transmission resumed next week!

Cheers,
Pab

“ecstatic there it is”:

There it is indeed! Out first “double” winners of the season see Jo Lowe & Neil Birchall 37 (5) share the spoils to the tune of £10 each – no doubt Jo will be buying the Man City v Chelsea DVD and Neil won’t be buying that Sp*rs v Wigan one. Pies all round again then Neil??!

“and the eyes go teary, the mind grow weary”:

I’ve little cheer and nuffin’ to shout about this season (check the table – *groan*) so I’ll take any ray of sunshine even if it’s at the expense of a Sp*rs fan. Gareth Morgan 9(0) – ha!

Correct Score of the Week:

This season, I particularly hate doing this bit… 9 got Rochdale 3 Macc 0, 7 got the 3-0 at Villa Park, the 1-3 for Rangers and Man City (!), 6 got Walsall 1 Soton 3, Scunny 0, 5 got Celtic 3 Aberdeen 0 and 5 got Everton 2 Spurs 2. Neil B & Dan P got the 0-4 at the Boelyn, Mark McD got 5 points for the Bristol City – Ipswich stalemate and Francesca F rolled her dice and bagged Blackburn 0 Liverpool 0. This weeks best correct score goes to Dave Nicklin for his 9 pointer score of Dundee Utd 3 St Mirren 2

Bet of the Week:

Very very close again! Olly missed his 7 homes thanks to MK Dons having a ‘mare v Yeovil and his 3 draws thanks to WBA failing to hold out for 30 seconds after going 2-1 up at Derby in added-on time – grrrrrr! This means spot prize slot 23 will reward nada – so don’t end up there on the final table!

Table News:

“my presence speak volumes…”:

Oooh the nerves will kick in now… Neil Meredith has a 6 point lead over ever improving Jazz S in second (has he timed it right? Will he win his own trophy??!). Will O and Rich L are both in with a fighting chance too…

“I don’t understand it, on another planet?”:

Oooh no nerves will kick in now… Paul Jenner is now being 19 points adrift and looking very much like a wooden spoon winner. Just above him are Scott A, your truly and Wayne C in a battle royale not to get dragged down if Mr Jenner starts scoring big!

“and the sun bust through the clouds…”:

Highest climber this week is Jo Lowe up a whopping 19 places to 38th. Honourable mentions for Mark J B (+10), Neil B (+18), Lisa G (+10), Vim G (+11), Mr 2-0 (+12) and Mark McD (+13)

“shocked a small act could knock a giant lopsided”:

Falling furthest this week are Gareth Morgan & Julian Fernandez down 17 places to 32nd & 61st respectively – dishonourable mentions for Frankie F (-12), Catriona J (-11), Richard H (-12) and Mark Sh (-16)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Mark D-S-C is on the promos at 11th(-6), Shaun B is at 13th (+4), Olly O is at 17th (+2), Mark Se is on the BotW 23rd (non mover), Danny B is at 27th (-3), Simon L is at 33rd (+8), Vim G is on the BotW 42nd (+11), Mr 2-0 is at 44th (+12), Mark G is at 52nd (+8), Savan A is at 57th (-6), John McS is on the BotW 65th (non mover), Gary B is at 67th (-1) and Scott A is at 70th (-2)
