Champ!:

You have to say it’s been a phenomenal performance to stay top for 13 consecutive weeks (a feat even the great Jazz Sian can’t claim!) and never a more worthy winner – Tony Bowley 393 (59). Take a boo son! Tony had a 25 point lead over Josh Hirst in second place, who is our youngest Top Ten finisher ever (just 9 years old!) – let’s hope his homework didn’t suffer as a result but at least he’ll have enough money to pay someone to do it for him next season… The ever present Jazz Sian finishes 4 points behind in third place and 4 points above Jamie Sellers in fourth spot. Neil Templeton will be able to spoil his baby daughter with a pressie by finishing 5th two points ahead of Mark De-Ste-Croix who had a fine season, in 6th. Martin Stafford ended up in seventh place (securing some World Cup betting funds!) 1 point above Andrew Darbyshire (good luck with your interview at the Guardian on Thursday!) in eighth, who in turn finishes 1 point above our resident music reviewer Ben Hogwood in ninth (and he’ll be celebrating Norwich’s return to the big time!). El Presidente finishes in 10th place (hurray, that’ll pay Frankie’s entry fee!) and nets the last of the “big prizes”

Chump!:

You have to say he’s been consistent; Howard Thomas takes the wooden spoon this season after a battle royale with my daughter to avoid the humiliation of last place! Let’s hope Palace get that draw to give you a cheery end to the season mate!

Spot Prizers:

OK, you have finished on these positions and you HAVE won these prizes! Jason M on 11th, Olly O on 12th, Jamie T on 13th, Matt G on 17th, Michelle F on 23rd, Dan P on 27th, Andy C on 33rd, Julian F on 39th, Gary B on 42nd, Clare T on 50th, Matt W on 54th and Francesca F on 55th.

PAS World Cup 2010:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS World Cup 2010 you had to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Sneaking the last spot…Neil Meredith.

And Another Thing:

the other little bits…

Tony Bowley picked up an additional £9 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season 50(9)

Mark Seels and Shaun Backhouse meet in the PAS Cup Final on May 15 – 22 (don’t worry, you will be kept up-to-date!)

Thanks to the three successful BotWers not least for providing my little girl with £23.50!, Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to enter – and a final big thankyou to Dave N for providing all the behind the scenes techky stuff to enable another great season (let’s hope the imminent arrival of Kid A doesn’t knacker him out too much for next season…).

We’ll see the Top 32 in June for the PAS World Cup and the rest of you (that don’t want to play the World Cup) in September – remember, spread the word and get all your mates involved for next season!

Cheers,
Pab

Jose:

He’s been knocking on the door for a good few weeks now, courtesy of his impressive “big” scoring correct scores, and this week (arguably the best week) it’s all come together for Savan Arora 41 (7). Congrats Sav, £20 winging it’s way to you, bet yer bruv is gutted!

Arsene:

In an ugly attempt to try and secure a “spot prize” position, Jon Allin 11(1) posted scorelines like 7-7, 6-6, 5-5 and 4-4 aiming at a record low score. What he didn’t bargin for was the goal drought at the Emirates which doubled his score in one fell swoop! Karma Jon, karma…

Correct Score of the Week:

A bumper week for many… Paul J/Jason M/Matt W got the 3-2 at the Upton Park, 11 got Forest’s 3-0 v Plymouth and Ellen F & Martin S got the 2-2 at the Toon (can you see what I did there?!). 7 got Man Yoo 3 Sp*rs 1, 12 got the 1-1 between Super Palace & WBA and Catriona J & Gareth got the 3-2 for Cardiff. Frankie F & Savan A got Bolton 2 Portsmouth 2 and Jon A (booooo!) got the nil-nil at the Arsenal. Best correct score of the week? Dan Pelgrom got 8 points for Burnley 0 Liverpool 4.

Best Correct Score of the Season?:

It’s been there a while! Stephen Street for his Hibs 5 Montrose 1.

Bet of the Week:

Who’d have thought?! Another winner! The Jamie S away treble came in at £3 giving him an extra £1.50 prize money and spot prize slot 55 another £2.50 taking it up to a lovely little £23.50 in total. Nice!

And Another Thing:

Thanks to all who took part – another great season, please play again!

PAS World Cup 2010 – If you’re in the Top 32 you will qualify for PAS World Cup if you so wish and it’ll cost you a tenner for the whole tournament! And, you’ll be “drawn” a team who will earn you bonus points for every goal they score! If you finish outside the Top 32, you can still join in the summer bonanza but it’ll cost you £15 and you won’t be allocated a team to earn you bonus points – the choice is yours!

Cheers,
Pab
