Final Table News:

 

“LV”: It was one minor blip off a perfect season (in fact just about the inverse of my own predictable table fail!) but still an amazing season’s performance none the less!  He started way down in 44th, climbed to 29th, then 13th and then up to tenth in consecutive weeks. Once ensconced, he went up to 5 and then into 3rd, only dropping one week to the hellish depths of fourth!

However, a recovery back up to 3rd was cemented and once he hit the top spot in Week 10 he stayed there! Oh, and he topped Group D to reach the PAS CL knock out stages…

Hats off & congrats to Scott Harrison 355 (51) – you’re a winner!

Scott ended on a 9 point lead over early trailblazer Peter Morley in second place, (who, impressively,  wasn’t out the Top 4 all season!) who in turn finished 11 correct scores ahead of Andy Chesworth in third place. Another former table topper who didn’t leave the Top 4. A fine season sir…

Just four points further behind, Paul Henshaw didn’t leave the Top 10 after Week 2 to finish in fourth spot with old skooler Kate Hopper scooping 5th place just another 4 points shy.

Newcomer Brett Ainger made a debut to remember in 6th just another four points behind.

Eleven points behind, Nick Hogwood finished in seventh (Dan is so proud of you Nick!) 4 points above prolific underachiever Charlie Harris in eighth.

One point behind, finishing ninth, was the long time missing Martin Stafford (further pointing towards a trend that the old-skoolers are back & hungry for winnings – ‘cept me of course..) and another 1 point back Alex Taylor landed in 10th place netting the last of the “big prizes”…

 

 

“LGV”: You have to say even our champion couldn’t match the consistency level of Debbie Lee 190 (20) who finished a massive 47 points adrift and takes the wooden spoon much to the relief of my little girl who was on a hat-trick! Cheers Debbie you’ve saved me having to find a “golden” wooden spoon…

Oh, and you now hold the unenviable record for the lowest score ever in PAS (much to the relief of a certain Rowan M!), a record mind, that will never be surpassed. Just putting that out there….

James S & Paul C (along with long time basement compadres Neil T & Norman L) made gallant efforts over the last few weeks to save Ms Lee’s blushes but to no avail – true gentlemen!

 

Spot Prizers: OK, you have finished on these positions and you HAVE won those prizes!

Dan Pelgrom on 11th, Eddie Osborne on 12th, Mark Fawke on 17th, Simon Buxton on 28th, Jazz Sian on 31st, Pete Britton on 33rd, Rowan Marriott on 34th, Jack Buxton on 44th, James Challinor on 45th, Mark J Brown on 49th, Josh Hirst on 57th, Neil Critchlow on 65th, David Goggin on 66th, Jamie Sellers on 71st & Paul Carter on 79th.

*** all prize money will be winging its way over this weekend (less your PAS L13 Spring ’16 entry fee) – promise! ***

 

 

 

And Another Thing: The other little bits…

 

Mark J Brown picked up an additional £15 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season –  52(6)

 

Dan Hogwood picked up £10 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – Derby County 4 Wolves 2.

 

 

Plaudits

Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to enter, we couldn’t do it without you!

And a final big thank you to Dave N & Dan H for providing all the behind the scenes techky stuff to enable another great (relatively glitch free!) season…

Happy New Year!

Cheers,
Pab

 

ps – initial date for PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2016 is weekend of February 12th/13th 2016

“Gosh”: You can tell it’s the holiday season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in. Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into an alcoholic abyss with little chance of predicting succour. Form goes out the window (ahem) & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country. So how do you combat this perennial problem?

Don’t ask me, I got marginally more than Mr 2-0 this week…

Maybe Clare Templeton 37 (6) can tell us how she came up on the blindside to swipe the last £20 from Rowan M’s hands?

My money’s on the fact she knew the predicable Gooners would concede to the reviled Man City and earn her 4 very valuable points…

 

 

“B’lieve I’m Goin’ Down…”: It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s shopping to be done. Why bother doing your scores? Debbie Lee 7 (0) is wondering just that…again!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: Man, that was a tough season… most popular score was Forest’s 2-1 win over MK Dons – 18 of youse got that!

15(!) got the 2-1 at Ashburton Grove (yay!)

Seven got the ol’ 1-2 in the Potteries and 7 more got the dramarama three-one between Chelsea and Sunderland.

5 of you have got Ross McC to thank for the 5 points at Bolton and five more have no one to thank for the 5 points in South Wales, Swansea to be precise.

4 got the Everton 2 Leicester 3. How?!

Rob C, Steve M & Rowan M got Inverness CT’s 2 – 2 draw with Dundee Utd. Errrrr…???

Mark S & Norman L knew that party pooping Norwich would win at Man Yoo.

Andy F & Shashi A got the dull-all feat. St Johnstone & Hearts.

Neil M & Julian F pulled out a plum with Brizzle Rovers sensational 0-3 win v Dagenham!

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Jazz Sian for his “i’m-back-you-who-thought-I-was-gone-lost-a-hasbeen” Burnley 4 Charlton 0.  

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 more draws that were the most popular among the 79 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

After a high you have the crash. Ladies & gentlemen, here is the crash…

60.27% Dundee V Hamilton – ridiculous scoreline!

 

50.68% Everton V Leicester – we were close!

46.58% Stoke V Crystal Palace – Palace pulled out a plum, i’ll not begrudge ’em that!

So, a massive £0 goes on the now very unattractive “Bet of the Week” slot 65th. ‘Orrible….

 

Table News:

 

“On The Regular”: Martin Stafford crashes the Top Ten – Clare Templeton is the highest climber (+20) along with Rowan M (+16) just ahead of Shashi A (+15) & then Dan H (+11)……

 

 

“Divers”: Neil Hyndman falls furthest (-14) just in front of Pete B (-10), then Will O (-9) with Anders H (-9) following suit……

 

 

click here and view the full table VERY SOON to see how much you might’ve won!

 

 

 

 

PAS Cup 2016:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2016 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is…yeah right, like i’m gonna tell you that now! Patience is a virtue….

 

 

PAS Champions League 2015/16:

 

The knockout stages are upon us the draw will take place once the MCR-Toon-Essex ley-lines have connected and Dan get his magic balls doing their thang….watch this space (well, actually not *this* space, but you know what I mean…)

 

 

And Another Thing: Thankyou for taking part in another fab season – we couldn’t do it without you!

Please come back soon. Very soon! Actually it will late January, early February – but you’ll be getting a constant stream of reminders!

 

 

Special thanks to Dan & Dave once again for all their tireless work behind the scenes – they’ve made our online dream reality AND they are currently working on a few things that will really tickle your fancies! You’ve been warned!

“T’ain’t What You Do (It’s the Way That You Do It)”: 

To be fair you can usually tell by your Sky Soccer Six score if it’s a mad week for scores or not and I got 4 points this week (what d’ya mean you don’t partake?!) so I knew it was “difficult”…then I checked the scores on the doors and TEN people got 30 or more points – how??!

And then…

Kate Hopper 46 (9)[yep, that’s NINE] picked the perfect week to decimate the opposition with a truly outrageous tally to take the penultimate £20 weekly prize! Well done Katie, you can buy your “adviser” a treat now eh?!

 

 

“The Lunatics have Taken Over The Asylum”: 

Remember that poem, nay paean, penned by Rowan M the other week about being the biggest loser in the history of PAS?

Well, Debbie Lee 3 (0) has gone beyond the pale and clocked up something seemingly impossible to lower the bar even further – truly amazing…no, really!

Even if you tried I reckon you couldn’t get 3 points in a week…wow, what a season this is!

Get the thesaurus out Debs i’m expecting Shakespearean levels of prose from you in the coming weeks….

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bothered… – most popular score was Arsenal’s 0-2 win at hapless Villa – 26 of us got that!

13 nabbed a bit of Derby’s superb 2-2 v Brighton

Eleven (really?!) got the very entertaining Leicester 2 Chelsea 1

9 lucked out on the sweet 2-1 win for Bournemouth over Man Yoo…

Eight knew it would be Fulham 2 Brentford 2 (Go West!) and 8 more got Cardiff’s 2s each against Sheff Wed

5 got QPR 0 Burnley 0

Four got the apparently dull, droll West Ham 0 – 0 Stoke City

Neil T, Paul V & Gary B nailed the three-one between Motherwell & Dundee

David G & Julian F got Celtic’s hammering of St Johnstone

Norman L got Hamilton 1 – 3 Ross County

Jamie T got the stalemate at the Valley…

 

…AND this week’s best correct score goes to the aforementioned Jamie Tofeili for his Toon Toon, Spurs 1 Newcastle 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 more draws that were the most popular among the 79 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We won! Big time! All three in people – big up ya bad selves……or something.

 

52.78% Derby V Brighton – very dubious penalty two mins from time sealed the deal!

50% QPR V Burnley

47.22% West Ham V Stoke

 

So, a massive £47.52 goes on the now very attractive “Bet of the Week” slot 45th. Nice to see ya…

 

 

Table News:

 

 

“The Tunnel Of Love“:

Scott Harrison maintains top spot now 12 points ahead of Andy C who in turn is two points ahead of Peter M in third as the little breakaway really has been reeled in right on cue by the peleton…it will go to the wire!

Charlie H & Ryan G crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Our Lips Are Sealed“:

Debbie Lee stays bottom, with the wooden spoon surely secured, a massive thirty eight points behind James S who in turn is 3 points off Norman L…where’s Neil T gone??!

 

 

“Well Fancy That“:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 20 places is Jamie Tofeili – honourable mentions go to Jack B (+13), Danny A (+14), Francesca F (+12) and Dave N (+10)

PAS Cup 2016:

PAS Champions League 2015/16:

So, that’s it! And how eventful it proved to be…

Two hammerings, one heartbreaker, one close game, 7 away wins (theme of the season!) and no draws…

We lost the CL legend but the holder prevails, three players scraped through on goal difference and Peter Morley was the only one with a perfect record! If you got through, congrats, you really are ace and we’ll see you in the New Year where bounty awaits..

“Suntan”: So the rain put pay to 3 of the 30 games this week and didn’t it reflect on the scores! About 20 odd people “could” have won it, 10 perhaps think they “should” have won it and 3 “would” have won it if it wasn’t for the magical uprights at Old Trafford!

Yep, that goalless 5 pointer secured this week’s £20 for Rob Currin 27 (5) as he stole a march on Steve M to claim one of the lowest winnings scores for many a year…and he missed the Thursday/Friday games too! Well done Roberto, a “score” on the Arse to progress tomorrow now??!

 

 

“Shaky Half Hour”: Hmmmmm, at least 20 odd people “could” have been the worst this week, 10 perhaps “should” have (in any other given week anyway) been worst and 2 “would” have if it wasn’t for Man Yoo scuppering 22 shots on goal without scoring! Yep, George Triantafillou 6 (0) will be rooing (see what I did there? No? He’s Aussie…jeez!) those missed chances for one goal that would’ve take him to the heady heights of double figures…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Yet again i’m nonplussed… – most popular score was Rotherham’s 1-2 reverse at home to Wolves – 23 of youse got that!

7 got Arsenal’s hammering of the Mackems

Neil T(!), James L & Pete B got the very entertaining Ross Co 2 St Johnstone 3

Julian F nailed the nil-nil between Sheff Wed & Derby

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his tinkerish, Swansea 0 Leicester 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 more draws that were the most popular among the 79 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost….

Ooops.

43.24% Bristol City V Blackburn – new manager, new bloomin’ outlook…

39.19% Sheff Wed V Derby. Tick!

39.19% Ipswich V Middlesbrough – where is Mick when you need him most eh?!!

So, £0 goes on the avoid-at-all-costs “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd. Not nice…

 

 

Table News:

 

“Postman“:

Scott Harrison maintains top spot now a seemingly unassailable 20 points ahead of Andy C who in turn is four points ahead of Peter M in third as the little breakaway is kinda being reeled in by the peleton…

Neil M crashed the Top Ten.

 

“Death Or Bongo“:

Debbie Lee stays bottom, now only nine points behind Norman L who in turn is 15 points off the vastly improved Neil T…

 

 

“Just Like Everybody Else“:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 21 places is Rob Currin – honourable mentions go to Sam C (+11), Dave C (+10), Arthur H (+15) and Steve M (+10)

 

 

“Certain People“:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 14 places is Jon Tofeili – dishonourable mentions go to El Presidente (-11), Simon B (-10) & a collarbone less Mark S (-10)…

“(I Keep Thinking About) A New Thing”: 

 

Usually I have to spend hours (HOURS!) thinking up clever, witty ways to break the news how the week was won, do actual research into who predicted what & source which last minute goal tipped the scales in whose favour…yep, it’s hard work over this side folks!

Well, I managed a week off this week as Scott Harrison 43 (8) absolutely walked it this week leaving his nearest rival a good 9 points in his wake! £20 coming your way Scott – great eh?!!

 

 

“You’re Not Supposed To”: 

Innit ‘oribble when Mr 2-0 beats your weekly score after you’ve toiled & laboured for hours (HOURS!) when a simple default would’ve sufficed (sort’ve). Well he got 13 points this week. (still, if you think that’s bad, check out “And Another Thing” this week!)

That’s one more than me – hmmmppph!

Still, my ol’ German Selhurst Park dwelling mucker Dan Rayner 10 (0) will have the ‘ump even more than me this week! Ha!

Silver linings n all that…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I give up… – most popular score was Celtic’s 1-3 win at Inverness – 28 of youse got that!

10 nabbed a bit of Man City’s 3-1 v Southampton

Six got the very entertaining Blackburn 2 Sheff Wed 2

Paul V, Eddie O & Rich L lucked out on the sweet 2-2 draw for Burnley in Cardiff…

Scott H & Tony D knew it would be Motherwell 2 Hearts 2 (err, how?!)

Tony D (again) & Andy F got Rotherham’s hammering of Bristol City

Oh! Will O & Olly O got the apparently dull, droll Aberdeen 3 – 1 Ross Co

Paul V (again) nailed the three-one between Forest & Reading

However, this week’s best correct score goes to newcomer Chris Dixon for his dour Darlo-esque, Spurs 0 Chelsea 0!

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 more draws that were the most popular among the 79 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We won!

Back in the game people…

(54.29%)Blackburn V Sheff Wed – tick.

(50%)Sunderland V Stoke [35/70] – cross. Ryan Shawcross, go to your room & have a good think about what affect your behaviour had on everyone. You twat.

(47.14%)Leicester V Man Utd [33/70] – tick.

 

So, £8.05 goes on to the now bolstered “Bet of the Week” slot 11th. Niiiiiiiice…

 

 

Table News:

“Measure“:

Wow! Scott Harrison moves up two places to claim top spot 14 points ahead of long time leader Andy C who in turn is five points ahead of Peter M in third as the little breakaway edges further from the peleton…

Alex T crashed the Top Ten.

 

“She Can Do What She Wants“:

Debbie Lee stays bottom and still only ten points behind Norman L who in turn is 5 points off the still despairing, flailing but slightly improving Neil T…

 

 

“Just Like Everyone Else“:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 20 places is Jon Tofeili – honourable mentions go to Olly O (+17), Shashi A (+12) and blimey, is that it??!

 

 

“Them That Do Nothing“:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 18 places is Yours Truly – dishonourable mentions go to Mark J B (-12), Rob C (-12), Jack B (-12) and Howard T (-10)

Click here for further details…

 

 

PAS Cup 2016:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2016 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is…ahem, PAS Board member, Dan Hogwood!

 

 

PAS Champions League 2015/16:

We continue…

Four hammerings, no heartbreakers, three close games, 8 away wins (are you lot doing this on purpose??!!) and no draws…

We still have two groups that will go to the wire with the real drama being played out in Group H where our current holder & CL legend can still both qualify from the obligatory “Group of Death”…or one could go out!  Mwah-hahaha….

Matchday 5 fixtures & results can be found here

 

 

And Another Thing:

That’s it for this week – oh, but remember the “Shame of Week 9”? Well Rowan being the artist & sensitive soul he is just had to get it out of his system – this my friends, is a man who cares about his PAS…

 

“I write this shameful apology

for being so poor

in all those predictions

i scored only four

 

i’ve always played football

but know nothing it would seem

as once again, just like that… bang

goes the champions league dream

 

this week i did try

stats, odds and pundit insight

but there really was no point

my predictions were shite

 

so this week i walk round

knowing i’m the worst there can be

and i can only apologise

for unpredictable me”
