“You know your worst is better than their best”:

Don’t believe in PMA? Check this – “Can’t believe I won my Champions League game… p*ss-poor scoring the past few weeks so hoping for a 30-40 pointer this weekend” Dunno about you but I’m going try that again next week (actually, it might only work for people named Neil) – Neil Templeton 33 (5) cleaned up in an old skool scoring week for PAS. Take your well deserved £20 mi amigo – maybe you want to donate it to me though as I’m paying £42 to go to OT on Wednesday to watch the Eagles with Gary B…

“And when it hurts you know they love to tell you”:

Oooh I’ve waited many a year for this! Jazz Sian 8 [Videprinter> EIGHT] (0) finishes bottom of the pile in an otherwise tremendous weekend for Sp*rs fans – like this freak score, I’m sure their form will return to business as usual (he says furiously crossing everything and promising Jesus he’ll be good forever if He can just cook up another pre-match meal like the one I asked for last time…)

Correct Score of the Week:

Shocker of a week for some… most popular score was Chelsea’s 3-0 win over the Wanderers of Wolverhampton – 21 of us got that!

5 got the 3-1 at the Britannia, 16 got Sp*rs’s 1-3 v West Brom and 5 got Blackpool’s 2-2 against Birmingham.

5 more got the 0-0 between Doncaster & Watford and 18 got West Ham 3 Derby Co 1.

Dave T / Tony S / Mark S got Palace’s stalemate with Millwall and Rob C & Olly O nailed the Tractor Boys’ 2-3 loss at home to the Royals.

Rich L & Danny B gained 9 points from Burton 3 AFC Wimbledon 2, Paul C & Paul V hit on St Johnstone’s 3-1 v Hibs and Dave N (again!) / Dan P / Paul C (again!) benefitted from the 0-0 at Swansea.

Jon T was very proud to get Man U 1 Toon 1, Frankie F conjured up Sunderland 1 Wigan 2 and Sean P (again!) got Motherwell 0 Dundee U 0.

However, this week’s best correct score would have been Craig B’s Celtic 5 St Mirren 0 but it goes to Louise Briggs for her inspired new best correct score of the season, Dunfermline 3 Aberdeen 3.

Table News:

“You walk on”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top of the league, but his lead has been cut to a very catchable 9 points by Paul V, who in turn, is 7 points ahead of Norman L in third. The peloton is closing though with Neil T crashing the Top 10…

“But there’s no future without tears”:

Michelle Fernandez sinks to the bottom of the pile (about time that I’ll-do-my-scores-in-30-seconds technique got it’s comeuppance – ha!) now 2 points behind Ben H, who in turn, is 2 points behind Stephen P.

“Potentially calling”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 15 places is Simon Lindquist – honourable mentions go to Louise B (+11), Tony S (+12) and Dan P (+10).

“shying from trying”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 14 places is Alex Rossi – dishonourable mentions go to Jazz Sian (-11), Mark G (-10) and Will O (-11)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… BotW let down – Neil Osborne.

Bet of the Week:

“We all hate Leeds & Leeds, Leeds & Leeds..” if only for letting us down on our 5 homes acca – ah well, back to normal then! Hopefully Neil T will show Neil O how it’s done next time out…

“Way up high above the sky all that beauty passes by”:

Don’t believe in PMA? Check this – “Enough is enough time to get more than one correct score, here goes… Positive thoughts and all that!” Dunno about you but I’m going try that next week – Neil Osborne 46 (10!) cleaned up in a high scoring week for most (can you guess who didn’t do well yet?!) and only a “wrong” fixture denied him best weekly total for the season! You can’t have everything Neil, but you can have £20…

“It’s time for us to go”:

It’s hard enough coming from Wigan, you don’t need any more grief do you? Martin Stafford 10 (0) props up the rest of us this week…

Correct Score of the Week:

I have no idea how people got correct scores this week – most popular score was Barnsley 2 Doncaster Rovers 0 – 27 of you got that score!

21(!) got Man City’s 3-1 against Newcastle, 7 got the 0-0 between Sunderland and The Cottagers and 9 got Middlesbro 2 Blackpool 2…

11 got Southampton 3 Brighton H A 0 and 4 got Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2

Craig B got the 3-0 at the Walkers Stadium and Sean P got Nottm For 3 Ipswich 2.

Frankie F somehow managed to get Rangers 0 St Johnstone 0 and this normally would have been THE score…

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season thus far (for the sheer drama, if anything!), goes to Jez Hopper for his amazing Wigan Athletic 3 Blackburn Rovers 3.

Table News

“If you want to go with me I’ll take you there”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top of the league, but his lead has been cut to a not-so-massive 14 points by Norman L, who in turn, is 1 point ahead of Paul V in third. I think our winner will come from this elite triumbirate… but a certain Jazz S is on the rise!

“We have time (In my dreams)”:

Jon Tofeili stays bottom of the pile now only 2 points behind Michelle F, who in turn, is 5 points behind Dan P.

“I have been there, I have seen it”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 30 places is Neil Osborne – honourable mentions go to Jazz S (+12), Paul C (+12), Sean P (+14), Mark S (+19), Danny B (+15), Matt G (+13) and Nick H (+13).

“We can chase…”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Martin Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Olly O (-10), Clare T (-11), Will O (-10), Reda A (-17), Eric A (-18) and yours truly (-11)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… still the chirpy magpie – Dave Nicklin.

Bet of the Week:

Now this is why BotW was invented – to earn attentive followers some money! This is from one enthused PASer – “Who ever does BotW next week needs to keep my money coming, won another £40 on the 4 aways 2 weeks on the bounce now!”

Yep, Sean P smashed in a 5/1 away team 4 timer to earn himself another £2.50 and BotW spot prize slot 49th £3.50. And, if it wasn’t for PNE being rubbish, we would’ve had the 5 homes in too! Excellent work – so no pressure then Neil O…

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Matchday 4 results attached – personally I think it’s an overrated, money making exercise for show offs…

And Another Thing:

A cautionary tale mes amigos…

“Completed my scoresheet on Wednesday night and been so busy and completely forgot to send it, thought I’d just check it to see what I could of got and had 43 (8) and waiting on a 2-1 spurs win… so completley gutted”

Cheers,
Pab

One game to go tonight – but it will be the 29th game as AFC Wimbledon didn’t play Southend as the scoresheet indicated!

Not sure how that one slipped thru (I blame the, ahem, BBC Sport website) but this game is null & void for Week 8.

Just back from the fog & no internet access of sarf London so no latest score updates I’m afraid – BotW looks promising though…

Cheers,
Pab

No PAS this week due to the Euro play-offs and the fact that we can’t pin a poppy on the scoresheets…

This means everything is pushed back by one week, so you’ll have festive Week 13 to look forward to!

“here we go again”:

“Fog on the, um, Tay’s all mine, all mine…” could be heard chiming from the streets of L3 as Sean Peers 40 (5) had the weather to thank for bagging him £20. Congrats Sean, but you might want to give it those more deserving – Mr Moyes?

“…isn’t that enough”:

After reaching the heady heights of the Top Ten, Sam Arora 13 (0) got a nosebleed…

Correct Score of the Week:

Not as many as you’d think got nabbed… – most popular score was The Toon’s 2-1 win over Everton – 28 of us got that!

26 got the 3-0 at Ashburton Grove, 8 got Peterboro’s 3-2 v Derby and 12 got Ranger’s (94th minute! Grrr!) 3-1 against Dundee United.

Seven got the 0-0 between St Mirren & Hearts, 6 got Wolves 3 Wigan 1and 13 got Sp*rs 1-3 at Craven Cottage.

Louise B & Reda A got Pompey’s win over Forest and Martin S nailed Swansea’s 0-0 away to Liverpool.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Gareth Morgan for his inspired, Aston Villa 3 Norwich City 2.

Table News:

“…i am in control”:

Shaun Backhouse maintains some fine form and stays top the league, extending his lead to a massive 23 points ahead of Paul V, who in turn, is 4 points ahead of Norman L in third.

“could it be that time has taken it’s toll”:

Jon Tofeili stays bottom of the pile now 13 points behind Jez H, who in turn, is 6 correct scores behind Josh H.

“…take you so far”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places is Sean Peers – honourable mentions go to Steve T (+12), Paul H (+13), Julian F (+17) and Simon Lindq (+15).

“no one lives there anymore”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 12 places is Ellen Fernandez/Mark Grey – dishonourable mentions go to Sam A (-11), Simon Linds (-11), Savan A (-11), Martin S (-11), Nick H (-11) and Francesca F (-11)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the chirpy magpie – Dave Nicklin.

Bet of the Week:

Get Carter! We won! Four aways in the bag @ 8/1 earned Paul C another £4 and BotW spot prize slot 33rd a nice little fiver! The Unstoppable nearly doubled up on his home selections only for the Tractor Boys to capitulate to the bottom placed side in the Championship – boo!

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Matchday 4 fixtures as follows:

Group A

Tony Morris v Stuart Longworth / Olly Osmond v Jason Morris

And Another Thing:

Unlike Blue Peter & Jimmy Saville (RIP) who tried, I DO read every comment sent in, and very nice most of them are too! This one though, is a classic…

And Caesar’s spirit, raging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice, Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of scores!

Cheers,
Pab

PS – congrats to Rowan M on the birth of his son Jack Huckleberry (middle name of the year??!) – shame he’ll grow up Citeh…

PPS – watch out for the return of the famous PAS Poll – coming your way soon!

“and you keep laughing and laughing and laughing”:

Strewth! A bizarre weekend of scores (even at Stamford Bridge – snigger!) put pay to most predictions this week. However, being upside down must aid predicting prowess as Paul Carter 38 (4) slammed home this week’s winning set of scores. £20 winging it’s way south Paul – Foster’s all round and even more prawns on the bar-b then cobber?!

“nothing is ever quite the same really”:

This week is why we give Mr 2-0 9(0) his 2-0 default score – ha! Not a week to miss submitting your scores…

Correct Score of the Week:

Some fine individual performances… – most popular score was Sp*r’s 1-3 win over QPR – 24 of you got that!

Howard T & Julian F got the 3-1 at Eastlands, 8 got Sunderland’s “Desmond” v Villa and 4 got Swansea’s 3-1 against Bolton Wanderers.

Six got the 3-1 between Derby & Portsmouth and 5 got Watford 3 Peterborough 2.

Richard H & Tony S got Palace’s draw with not-so-free-scoring Reading, Olly O & Steve T got Southampton’s 3-0 at St Marys, Paul C/Reda A/Gareth M got the three-two for W Ham over Leicester and Martin S nailed Brighton’s 0-0 at Birmingham.

Clare T got the bore draw between Shrewsbury & AFC Wimbledon and Anders H got Burnley 3 Blackpool 1

However, this week’s best correct score, and best of the season so far, goes to Paul Carter for his inspired and quite obviously lucky, Carlisle 3 Oldham 3.

Table News:

“and everything looks like a giant cupcake”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top the league and extends his lead to a massive 18 points ahead of Norman L who in turn is 3 points ahead of Jamie S in third.

“it’s time to turn into a frog yourself”:

Jon Tofeili plunges to the bottom of the pile now 8 points behind Ben H who in turn is 6 letters behind Pete B.

“and you can jump all the time and everywhere”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 35 places is Gareth Morgan – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+30), Jazz S (+12), Andy C (+12), Reda A (+27), Anders H (+13) and Stuart L (+11)

“so far away from me”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 16 places is Mr 2-0 – dishonourable mentions go to Louise B (-16), Matt G (-13), Neil B (-13), Vim G (-13), Mark J B (-13) and Stephen P (-14)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the reggae standard – Reda Allam.

Bet of the Week:

Oh so close! Again! The “draws” and “aways” went by the wayside as per normal, but only pesky bloomin’ Celtic let us down on the homes- boo! Next up is Mr Carter – get something Paul!

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

See attached for full round up by clicking on the “current” tab (unless like me, you’d rather look away…)

And Another Thing:

You’ll be getting a winter break! It’s been a long ol’ season already so Week 8 is cancelled and everything is pushed forward a week, meaning Week 13 will now be at Christmas time! Don’t say we never do anything for you now…

Cheers,
Pab
