Offensive…

“Perfect 10”: Hut hut! More perfect 8 then 10 really – but it’s all about the gains in this soccer ball game we love & cherish innit! Thinking they had control of the line of scrimmage, ten people (including my mum!) gained 30 points or more. Pressuring the quarterback was Ric P (who started with 8 correct scores out of 15 matches, then hit the buffers like, um, he ran into William Perry), YAC specialist Debbie L thought she’d run away with it with 41 points. But, wriggling free like Dan Marino in his pomp, PAS debutant Ian Harrison 42 (8) sneaked into the end zone to claim this week’s £20 weekly prize. Cue wild celebtrations followed by the ubiquitous commercial break…

Well done Ian, a Titanic performance – touchdown!

“Rotterdam (Or Anywhere)”: Tut tut! More Amsterdam actually. Here’s a cold cold lesson kids.

If you are to partake in what those foreign Europeans have on offer, make sure you do your scores before you go – otherwise it will all go up in smoke. Alex Rossi 8 (0) was caught out and damaged as a result.

Just say no is what PAS endorse.

This is not to be sniffed at.

You can go window shopping but you don’t have to knock on the door do you? Well then.

I’m just glad he didn’t run into an Egghead…

Correct Score of the Week:

Personally, I found it difficult this week – most popular score was Partick’s 1-1 draw with the mighty Ross County – 23 of youse got that!

20 got Newcastle’s 3-0 deconstruction of the Tractor Boys

Nine obviously guessed Man City 1 Southampton 1

5 had the bore draw that was Swansea v Watford.

Ben McK, Tom S & Tony D got the 3-1 thriller at happy clapper Crisp Stadium in Leicester.

Ric P just knew it would be Brentford 0-2 Barnsley

Rob C made us all green by happening upon Burnley 2 Everton 1.

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season, goes to Howard Thomas for his “Hooooooooooooooooooooooo (clap)” inspired, Bradford City 3 Sheffield United 3!

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 93 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost! Boo!

49.40% Wolves v Dirty Leeds – Walter out!

48.19% Chelsea v Man Yoo- Jose out?

46.99% Bradford v Sheff Utd – proper classic spoils shared derby! Saved by a crossbar….

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th. Shame…

Table News:

“36D“: Pete Britton moves up 5 places to go 4 points ahead of top lady Clare T & top newbie Ricki M who just cannot be separated right now…

Tony M, Jason M & Charlie H crashed the Top Ten.

“A Little Time“: Ian Pratt remains bottom, now a mere 2 points behind Paul V who in turn is 3 points off the fast sinking Gary B.

“Old Red Eyes Is Back“: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 40 places is Ric Pardoe – honourable mentions go to Debbie L (+20), Ian H (+38), my mum (+30), Tony B (+23), and James L (+24).

“Song For Whoever“: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 42 places is Alex Rossi – dishonourable mentions go to Scott H (-22), Neil O (-21), Steve M (-17), Jon T (-18) and Richard H (-18).

Iron Throne? Pah!

“From Despair To Where”: ***Spoiler Alert***

Game of Thrones isn’t just gratuitous sex and violence! It’s profound!

No, really – that short hair Sand Snake – she’s profound.

That Bjork Wildling – she’s profound.

That bell ringing Sparrow – she’s profound. Ahem. Maybe just me then….

Actually, that Cersei walk of shame scene was very profound (can you tell i’m way behind cos i’m a DVDer?!).

And speaking of the dethroned, PAS King Jazz S was back to his royal bestest this week, past glories blazing as he strode majestically to the £20 weekly prize…

However, the very recently hapless Neil Osborne 39 (6) has a Super Sunday to thank for ousting Mr S into second place as he smashed in a Watford 0-1 and then jumped with joy as Jay Rodriguez fluffed his lines late on meaning Southampton stuck to a 5 point, 3-1 victory.

If Jon Snow makes a comeback half as good as that it’ll really be something Neil (sshhhhh, remember i’m only speculating – i’ve just finished Season 5!).

Well done.

Roger that!

“Spectators Of Suicide”:

Keeping it in the family, and probably feeling as ruined as that redhead Joffrey turned into a replica of Saint Sebastian, Eddie Osborne 10 (0) limped home in disgrace this week…

Rogered.

Correct Score of the Week:

After the madness of International Week, we’re back to cosy ol’ local Blighty matches – most popular score was QPR’s 1-1 draw with the Big Dutch Man – 28 of us got that!

Twenty six got Toon 3 Kurupt FM 1

14 got Norwich’s 3-1 deconstruction of Rotherham

Fourteen more had Blackburn’s stalemate with Ipswich

10 got Southampton’s 3-1 win over Burnley & ten more had the bore draw that was Wigan v Burton Albion.

Five got the 2-2 thriller at Firhill & 4 got Man City’s 1-1 thrashing of Everton.

Clare T & James C got the correctly over-hyped 0-0 at Kloppa Castle.

Julian F & Tom S (welcome!) got the 0-0 between Wimbledon & Swindon.

Bill P (welcome!) & Norman L made us all green by happening upon Arsenal 3 Swansea 2.

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Neil Osborne for his Ladbrokes inspired, Aberdeen 4 Ross County 0!

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 93 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We won! Good work people!

39.47% Blackburn v Ipswich – never ever in doubt…

35.53% Partick v Hamilton- never ever in doubt…

32.89% Stoke v Sunderland – never ever in doubt…until Jesus stepped up to the plate!

So, £7.65 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 39th. Hmmmm, nice!

Table News:

“Stay Beautiful“: Norman Lee moves up 2 places to go 1 point ahead of my old team mate Mark S who in turn is two points ahead of Nick H in third.

Newbs Ricki M & Tom S and old skoolers Jazz S & Clare T crashed the Top Ten.

“Little Baby Nothing“: Ian Pratt remains bottom, now only 3 points behind Ric P who in turn is 2 points off Martin S.

“You Love Us“: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 51 places is Neil Osborne – honourable mentions go to Julian F (+43), Bill P (+21), Rich L (+22), Alex R (+31), Ben H (+33) and Darren  S (+31).

“You Stole The Sun From My Heart“: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 42 places is Eddie Osborne – dishonourable mentions go to Chris D (-23), Rowan M (-23), Gary B (-23), Paul C (-23), Anders H (-27), Patricia F (-24), Andy F (-24), Ross B (-28), and Gareth M (-23).

“Insane In The Brain”:

There’ll be dancing on the streets of Whitefield this week! Not because the Tesco have still got Marmite , more cos the Syndicate now has its own PAS record holder! Fifty nine players got over 30 points this week! Yeah, mad eh?!

25 got over forty points!! Ten of you scored over 50 points!!!

And two managed the fabled heights of 60 points or more!!!

Aussie PayPal maestro George T must have had the prawns defrosting & the Fosters on ice when he totted up a massive 60 (7). Bonzer!  (he probably didn’t think to himself…)

Strewth swiftky ensued though, as, with 5 correct scores amounting to an unbelievable 38 points, Mark Seels 64 (8) has the total respect of his peers by setting a new PAS record for points in a week.

Congrats Seelsy, one to tell the 5-a-side boys once you’re back from injury ? Not back yet? Well, you’ve got £20 now towards the physio bill…

“Hits From The Bong”:

Back in May 1978, Roger Osborne beat Pat Jennings in the FA Cup Final and then collapsed…

]38 years later, a collapse once again unites a Jennings & an Osborne! (see what I did there?)

John Jennings & Neil Osborne 22 (1) quite unbelievably finished bottom of the pile with a normally respectable score that back in the day represented the average score to finish in the Top Ten!

Harsh.

Correct Score of the Week:

Crazy scores, crazy predictions, crazy points scored – most popular score was Norn Iron’s 4-0 win over San Marino – 28 of youse got that!

18 got the 4-0 in Estonia. When they beat Gibraltar.

17 got the 10 point 0-6 between Gibraltar & Belgium.

15 got Germany’s fine win at the expense of Czech Republic.

13 got the ten points on offer from Portugal 6-0 Andorra.

6 nailed Wales away draw in Vienna.

Five got Ireland’s 1-3 defeat of Moldova.

5 came good with 10 points for Faroe Islands 0 Portugal 6.

4 got Belgium’s 4-0 hammering of Bosnia

Me, Mark S & Dan H got the 3-0 between Sweden & Bulgaria.

Matt W, Norman L & Richard H got Holland 4 Belarus 1.

Ricki M (welcome!), Ross B & Simon Lindq got France 4-1 Bulgaria.

Neil T & George T just knew it would be 0-0 between Slovenia & England.

James L & Dave C smashed in Oxford 1 Wimbledon 3

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Andy Fowler for his savvy, Wales 1 Georgia 1!

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 93 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost! Not the most auspicious of starts…

52% Holland V France – Paul P starts to revv up…

35% Oxford V Wimbledon – MK who?!

35% Blackpool V Cambridge – we got this one!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th. Hmmmm, we will persist…!

Table News:

“The Phuncky Feel One“: Mark Seels moves up 17 places to go 11 points ahead of old team mate Pete B who in turn is one point ahead of Norman L in third.

Loads crashed the Top Ten.

“Lick A Shot“: Ooops! Ian Pratt goes up five places but remains bottom of the pile (yeah, we lost a few people from last week!) 4 points behind Martin S who in turn is 2 points off Brett A.

“The Funky Cypress Hill Sh*t“: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 74 places is George Triantafillou – honourable mentions go to Norman L (+37), Peter M (+33), Jason M (+48), Simon Lindq (+62), Ricki M (+39), Jazz S (+61), Sam C (+57), Matt W (+65), El Presidente (+45), Ross B (+39), Dan H (+34) and Rowan M (+33)

“I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That“: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 46 places is Bry Derbyshire – dishonourable mentions go to John J (-25), Neil O (-41), Bill P (-25), Ben McK (-39), Gary B (-25), Mark J B (-41), Dan P (-34), Patricia F (-30), Simon B (-34) and Jim B (-29)

We’re off and running!

Tasty…

“Feel Good Hit Of The Summer”: Evans above! By George i think he’s got it! Follow Reading?! Even know where it is??!

Well, they’ve got a Manc centre back who popped up for a 90th minute equaliser against Derby on Saturday. So what you say?

Well, if you nailed a 5 pointer 2-2 at Watford & then clocked that last gasp goal go in, the “what” would be “you’ve won the week!”

Imagine that?!

One person who didn’t have to imagine, merely bask in smug realisation, was Richard Hughes 44 (8) who, courtesy of Mr E, stole in to take the £20 weekly prize when it looked like PAS Euro ’16 champion “Hitman Howie T” (ask your hip hop uncle millennials!) had it in the onion bag. Well done Hughesy, a fine week to win as you don’t have pay me your entry fee now!

Steve Sidwell will be sooo proud of ya mate, go paint the town orange my son!

“No One Knows”: Is your surname Rossi? Oh dear! One correct score? Jeeeeez!

Actually, it’s not as”oh dear” as being called Pratt, Ian Pratt 8 (0).

Yep, a bottom of the pile shocker of a start, but the only way is up eh Ian?!

Shurely double figures beckon in one of the fabled PAS International weeks in Week 2?

Go on my son, make uncle John proud of you… (Google it millennials!)

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow! Quite a few correct scores knocking about (despite the mad scorelines – well, i thought they were mad)… most popular score was Norwich’s 1-2 win over Wolves – 36 of youse got that!

8 got the “Desmond” between Watford & Bournemouth.Patricia F (well done mum!), John J (welcome!) & Clare T got the Brentford – Wigan bore drawRicki M (welcome!) & Howard T got the 1-3 involving Motherwell & Hearts.

Mark J B just knew Celtic would win 0-1 at Dundee. Cake. Of. Piece, etc….

Dave N got Toon’s 0-1 thriller v lowly Rotherham.

Dave N (again! This won’t look good to the newbies D…) got Leicester 0 Southampton 0.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Granite City worshipping, Sam Arora for his 8 point inspired, Kilmarnock 0 Aberdeen 4.

 

Bet of the Week: We’ve got a new system. We tested it this week. It works. And it gives real time indication of exactly who you lot think will win, lose or draw! And, best of all, you don’t have to do anything at all (well, except put your predictions in on time!)We’re gonna roll it out it in Week 2!Expect, ahem, the bookies to be cowering… 

Table News:It’s Week 1 – it is what it is! Click here for details…Please be aware we may lose some players (rubbish people) but we may gain some (Mr 2-0 did good!) so if you know anyone out there who wants to get involved, put them in touch tout suite!
