Do something nice in ’17…

“Jose”: It was a battle lost & pretty much done at the top for two thirds of the season given the sibling rivalry that fuelled the fire for revenge …and how it drove that ambition!

From Week 6 it was forgone conclusion given the relentless posting of high end scores by our new champion!

He started down in a lowly 49th, climbed to 20th, then up to 4th a week later (still behind Frankie F I might add!) –  the push into the Top Two was thwarted slightly by a drop to 5th in Week 4…

However, once ensconced at two by Week 5, it was at the summit all the way – with no let up whatsoever…frightening!

Once the the top slot was cemented in Week 6 there he stayed…

A phenomenal performance it has to said that came with a “second” to last season’s “first” – the 400 point barrier was breached once again my friends!

Tony M’s record points tally was so nearly matched and my prediction of the current record never being beaten came under serious threat…

So, be upstanding lords, ladies & gents to give props to Jason Morris 404 (55) – He. Is. A. Winner!

Jason ended on a massive 37 point lead over another stalwart of the PAS game, Charlie Harris, in second place. The Forest fella finished 4 points ahead of “Syndicate loose cannon” Richard Hirst in third place (and a Forest 2-3 to boot!). My old mucker from South London, Ryan Graves emulated his beloved Reds by securing 4th on the last day…

Just six points further back, Marin Stafford reflects the feel good (?!!) buzz that’s abound at OT at the moment by finishing in fifth spot with PAS Cup finalist, Jack Buxton scooping 6th place just 1 point shy… (current scores in both Finals below FYI!)

“Dream Team” creator (make sure YOU play next season – some PASers did very well this season!) Pete Britton chipped in at 7th just one point behind, and only another point back, Andy Chesworth finished in eighth (get well soon Andy – maybe the cash will buy you a walking stick??!)

PAS stealth mover, Pete Morley stole into 9th virtue of 6 points and my favourite person with 18 kids, Rowan Marriott, plundered 10th by edging out Simon Lindq thanks to the 3 correct scores he chalked up in Week 13….

“Arsene”: Just 5 points separated our new champion from Neil Critchlow 237 (21) in Week 1! The Stockport Welshman never really recovered from there, slipping to 60th, 71st, 82nd & 83rd in consecutive weeks hitting bottom in Week 6.

And there he stayed, securing this season’s wooden spoon.

Not seen him for a while but I cannot wait to present his prize – hahaha!

My mum, James C & Lee F made gallant efforts over the season to save Neil’s blushes but…

See you at the next gig Neil!

And Another Thing

See that banner at the top of this update?

He may be a West ‘Am slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag but he’s doing good things in 2017 – check this out and if you can, give him some support!

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…check the new “feel” on the site! Apparently it’s absolutely mint now for mobile users…nope, me neither.

See you in August – have a great summer!

Cheers,
Pab

…will be with you tomorrow.

Didn’t seem appropriate to send it today.

Cheers,

Pab

Still got it…

“Tomorrow Comes Today”: You can tell it’s the end of the season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in. Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into the spring sunshine (well, maybe not in MCR. Actually…). Form goes out the window & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country. So how do you combat this perennial problem? Don’t ask me, I got less than Mr 2-0 this week – grrrrr! (and I tried sooo hard!!!)

Maybe Danny Ashworth 33 (7) can tell us how he came up on the blindside with two correct scores from the last two games to slip the last £20 from my mum’s hands? My money’s on the fact he knew that Spurs would hit the bar & post to keep a 2-0 scoreline at the Lane a respectable one…

“On Melancholy Hill”: It’s the end of the season, there are crazy scores expected and the sun really was out with a vengeance. Why bother doing your scores?

Kate Slee/Olly Osmond/Richard Hughes/John King 6 (0) are all wondering just that. Well, our Dan may have an insight for you guys…

“A little stat for you, it was the fourth lowest average player score in a week ever!

Average player score 15(2)

Doesn’t help does it….

Correct Score of the Week:

Not a bad effort considering…. – most popular score was Burton’s 1-1 draw at Barnsley – 18 of youse got that!

Six got the ding dong 2-2 between Jambos & The Jags

5 got the tasty Derby 3-1 win over hapless Wolves.

Clare T & Julian F got the bore draw in the Potteries

Dave N somehow guessed Hamilton 0 Kilmarnock 2

Tony M got the “Desmond” that was Middlesbro v Man City

Francesca F just knew Chelsea would tan Everton 0-3

However, this week’s best correct score, and Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Patricia Fernandez for her so-you-think-I-don’t-know-about-football-eh? inspired, Motherwell 2 Dundee 3.

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We crashed! And burned! Spectacularly! Again!

45% WBA vs Leicester – nice celebration Jamie!

44% Bristol Rovers vs Millwall – soooooooooooooo close!

36% Hamilton vs Kilmarnock – all over in 23 minutes!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th…but there’s £8.29 on there still!

Table News:

“Feel Good Inc.”: Two crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 17 places is Danny Ashworth – honourable mentions go to Rowan M (+6), Francesca F (+7), Simon B (+10), Dave N (+11), Ric P (+7) and James L (+6)

“Glitter Freeze”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 13 places is Richard Hughes – dishonourable mentions go to Jon T (-8), Predictz (-9), Mark F (-9), Danny N (-7), George T (-7), Paul V (-9) and Nick H (-7)
