“Nice one Arsene…”

 

“Favourite Shirts”: Awwww, as one legend becomes an ex-Arsenal legend, so the nephew of another ex-Arsenal legend stakes his claim to be another legend!

In a week that had 15 punters notching 30 points or more, it was the only one to get over forty who walks away with the prize…

The strategy of 2-1 (he used 8 – we checked. We’re always watching and checking for “blanketeers”) really paid off for John Jennings 41 (8) this week, but ultimately it was the first match 5 pointer that sealed the £20 bonus!

Well done John – the contenders were further away than one of Uncle Pat’s huge punts upfield – at Highbury, not WHL…

 

 

“Whistle Down The Wind”: Another miserable week for some even though it’s proving the tightest field in PAS history – one blinding week could change everything!

Hanging on to that thought are the twelve that only registered 15 points or less.

Hanging mostly on that thought, is Joe Massey 10 (0)…oh woe, Joe.

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Well done (everyone but me)…most popular score was Leeds!Leeds!Leeds! 2-1 win over Barnsley – 28 of youse got that!

 

9 got the very annoying 88th minute spoiling Man City 5 Swansea City 0

Eight got the five point Blackburn v Peterboro 3-1

Eddie O, Chris D & Shezan J nailed Exeter 2 Crawley 2

John K, Greg F & Justin C got the dull-all at Deepdale

Darren McC & Bry D got the Wednesday 3 goal demolition of Reading

Paul V believed in Burton. A 1-2 kinda belief…

Martin S got the bore draw between Ross County & Motherwell

Paul C got the stalemate that was Watford v Palace

Gary B obviously guessed Wolves would beat Bolton 0-4

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Eddie Osborne (again!) for his au-revoir-Arsene inspired, Arsenal 4 West Ham 1!

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

 

And guess what?! Yep, you guessed.

 

44.74% Derby v Middlesbro – how rubbish are Derby?

44.74% Watford v Palace – lucky Wilf didn’t get one of those pens…

40.79% Everton v Newcastle – love you Theo! Grrrrrrr….

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – woo yeah! I mean, no!

 

 

Table News:

“Fantastic Day”:

Stephen Peaston stays top, now 9 points ahead of Jason M who, in turn, is three points ahead of Rowan M in third.

 “Scarily good…”

 

“Someone Great”: You really have to take your hat off to Eddie Howe and his bowl of Cherries.

They play good football, they put a shift in and they never give up.

Don’t believe me? Check it out here

One punter clearly had his faith repaid this week as Josh King’s 89th minute equaliser v Palace (wicked goal btw Wilf!) gave him that all important 5 points to pip our very own Dan H to the post (bad for Dan but good PR for us though!)

Mike Krasnowski 31 (5) is the latest debutant to double his entry fee this season taking the £20 courtesy of one correct score.

In a week where only 4 people managed 30 points or more, it’s a monster win!

 

“Losing My Edge”: A proper barren Week 9 with lots only notching 1 correct score in a “twenty odd points” kinda week.

18 only managed 15 points or less and many with no correct scores.

Only one got a single digit tally.

Bottom of the pile then was Martin Stafford 9 (0) – let’s hope he had money on United at half time…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Scant reward this week, but for once, i’m not whining…most popular score was Brentford’s 1-0 win over Ipswich – 14(!) of youse got that!

Ten got Derby’s 3 goal demolition of Bolton

8 got the dull-all at McDiarmid Park

Eight more nailed Bournemouth 2 C Palace 2

Dan H & Paul S made us all green by happening upon Rangers 4-0 Dundee

Rowan M got the correctly over-hyped 1-0 at Wem-ber-lee

Matt W got the thrilling Cambridge United 2 Exeter City 3

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new “Best Correct Score of the Season” (sorry Clare T!) goes to El Presidente for my I-changed-a-habit-of-a-lifetime* inspired, Man City 2 Man Utd 3!

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

 

And guess what?! Yep, you guessed.

 

62.50% Watford v Burnley – damn that dastardly Dyche!

56.25% St Johnstone v Motherwell – never has a dull-all ever been in doubt…(does that make sense?)

38.75% Hull City v QPR – whaaaaaat??!!

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – I think I know what we’ll do next season now though!

 

 

Table News:

“On Repeat”:

And Another Thing:

* so, I put City down to win 5-0 after the Liverpool implosion thinking Pep got the gravitas of winning the title versus your bitter rivals.

Upon seeing his line up 10 mins before kick off, I realised the EPO cheat (damn, that keep slipping out!) didn’t.

I changed my prediction accordingly.

I have never EVER changed my scores before.

Think there may be something in this “re-checking” now…

 

** Frankie requested we watch the derby as she was hoping to “rub her classmates’ faces in it” if Man Yoo won.

She also told me she was secretly cheering Utd when I took her to her first game at OT in the Arsenal end.

She was also torn between local bragging rights and ten points on PAS as her 3-3 prediction looked an increasing certainty…

 

Got any Grand National tips?

 

 

Cheers,

Pab

 “Fancy a job after the World Cup Trace…?”

 

“Monkey Gone To Heaven”:

Well, well, well, it was a very quiet week all ‘n’ all. But it was a very eventful week too…

I don’t think we’ve had a more deserving winner to be honest.

Missed the 1st game, saw Forest (95th min), Huddersfield (91st min) and Brentford (94th) min all spike a collective 13 points – cruel!

A ray of sunshine came via Blackpool (94th min) for a point back but ultimately it was the stupidly handsome Olivier Giroud who swooped in to aid Neil Osborne 34 (6) claiming this week’s £20.

That super-sub comeback gave Mr O the point he needed to edge out the group of six who all had real claims on a weekly win. Another 4 notched up 30 points too btw…

 

All together now, “Na na na na, n-n-n-na…”

 

“Debaser”:

A pretty bunched up week all ‘n’ all so the eleven who scored under 15 points had their collective blow softened somewhat.

Hit hard though was Debbie L.

Hit hardest though was Danny Ashworth 6 (0) who chose the wrongest week to go AWOL!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Not many this week, but the ones “got”…most popular score was Boro’s 2–1 win over Bristol City– 29 of youse got that!

Eighteen got Liverpool’s 3-0 deconstruction of Bournemouth

5 got the 1-3 City win over Spurs

Five more smashed in the five point Reading v Sunderland two-all

Olly O & Sam C nailed Barnsley 2 Bolton 2

Rich L & Stuart F got the thrilling Palace 3 Brighton 2

Stuart F (again!) got the dull-all at the DW

Andy S was all over the 4-0 to the Celtic

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stephen Peaston for his I-love-Giroud-too inspired, Southampton 2 Chelsea 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

 

And guess what?! Yep, you guessed.

 

I didn’t make it back from Ikea in time to get the bet on!

 

Bet we would’ve lost anyway…

 “Si Pablo! Até a próxima temporada dos Emirados…”

 

“Sheila Take A Bow”:

Remember that kid who had that Adidas Tango before everyone else back in the day (and i’m talking ’78 original, orginal here!)?

And he was rubbish at football and everyone was better than him?

But you played along with him anyway and let him have first pick n that, cos, y’know, he had * the ball * and it was kinda his game?

Well, that’s me that is…

One person who’s got his own game*, and is deffo not rubbish at it, is Pete Britton 48 (8) who has now got game on mine as well!

And he’s rubbed salt into my red raw wound by taking the best total of the season off me too! (And you Simon B)

And he supports City.

I hate Pep.

So well done Pierre, £20 coming your way matey, go spend it some EPO like all your players do…

(did I just say that out loud?) <cringe>

Oh, and spare a thought for those 10 others that smashed in a 40 point + week.

At least your not me, eh?!

 

“That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore”:

 

The Fernandez clan had an absolute Elm Street this week with 3 of us managing to be amongst the seven who couldn’t muster 20 points…

Yep, it was brutal to miss out.

Missing out most though was Debbie Lee 12 (0) – ooooofff!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Honestly, I was speechless…most popular score was Tims’ 3-0 win over Ross County – 29 of youse got that!

 

Twenty five got Arsenal’s, ahem, convincing 3-0 romp over Stoke

23 just knew Everton would score against Man City for a 1-3

14 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Watford 2 Bournemouth 2

Nine got the 3-1 Cardiff win over Burton

4 nailed Motherwell 2 Rangers 2

Matt W & Neil C got the thrilling Lincoln 3 Exeter 2

Neil C (again!) got the 1-3 Spurs win over Chelsea

Neil M got Barnsley’s “Desmond” with Bristol City

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matt Worsfold (again!) for his don’t-ask-me-about-Cheltenham inspired, Aberdeen 4 St Johnstone 1!

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…
