“Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside…”

 

“Da Funk”:

It was a proper bunfight to be the best of a bad bunch in Week 2. Well, not that bad a bunch…and not much of a bunfight in the end either actually.

Only ten of youse got 30 points or more – so well done you. I think 30 is the new 50 this season!

Tim P & Paul H tried their best to last the distance but fell away when it really mattered.

Neil O really made a push for the line…

But heading up the quartet who got nearest to flirting with a weekly win was my new Head of Debt Chasing, Simon Buxton 44 (8).

Mr B showed the same ruthlessness in point collecting as he does with securing late entry fees (ask Jack!) and has Newcastle’s audacity to score at OT  to thank for securing the twenty nicker.

Good work Simon! You can put him down now….

 

 

“Burnin‘”:

5 poor souls got zero correct scores.

Twelve scored less than 15 points…

Not the best week to be celebrating a “big” birthday then.

Luckily for Rob Currin 11 (0) his 40th is this Saturday…

Happy birthday Roberto?

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Parkhead…most popular score was Leicester’s 1-2 win at Villa – 33 of youse got that!

 

Sixteen just knew Toon would score against Man Yoo for a 3-1

6 turned up Burnley 0 WBA 0. Then smiled a little bit as they thought of those poor souls that were spared actually being there…

Four got the very annoying last minute spoiling Rangers 4 Dundee United 1

Nick H & Alex R (happy birthday!) doffed a cap to Stoke City’s 3-0 deconstruction of Luton Town

Reagon K was all over the 0-2 to Boro

Simon B made us all green by happening upon Wolves 1-0 Leeds Utd

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Norman Lee for his I-love-that-at-least-one-league-is-kinda-predictable inspired, Motherwell 0 St Johnstone 3!

 

Bet of the Week:

Lewis Marriott was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

It was a fail…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – not the best start!

 

 

Greg Fleming is at 33rd this week….

 

Gregor, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please! Remember, the family name is on the line here…no pressure!

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Harder Better Faster Stronger”:

Simon Buxton will be beaming with joy as he moves up 74 places to go 3 points ahead of Tim P & Neil O who are in turn five points ahead of the current league champion in fourth…

 

Eight crashed the Top Ten. Brutal!

 

 

“Rollin’ & Scratchin‘”:

Hira Yonzan remains rooted to the bottom, one point behind Mike K, who in turn is 1 point off Howard T…

 

 

“One More Time”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 87 places(!) is Paul Henshaw – honourable mentions go to Simon B (+74), Arthur H (+52), Reagon K (+54), Samantha P (+50), Harry H (+56), Scott H (+58) and Dan W (+75)

 

“Instant Crush”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 76 places is Rob Currin – dishonourable mentions go to Jazz S (-49), Lewis M (-45), Sam A (-61), Justin C (-69), Dave C (-52), Rowan M (-58), Chris B (-45) and Paul D (-46)

“You WILL pay on time next season…”

 

“Mister Natural”:

New year, new start ‘n’ all that.

I did my scores from a position of excellent preparation, plenty of research and a knowing that it’d be a week that would go as it ought to go…

It didn’t. It hasn’t for a while eh?

So apologies for the lateness of this update – i’ve been in shock. And in pubs. Actually that’s a lie. I’ve extended dry Jan to Feb…

Quite a lot of you clearly knew what I didn’t…but not that many for a change! Hurrah for a very random Week 1!

Best of the bunch?

Justin Corliss 23 (3) deftly manoeuvred to the front of the pack thanks to, well, Stoke & Spurs basically!

And therein securing quite possibly the lowest winning score in PAS history. Quite a feat. Considering 18 others could have done it too this week…

If you got 20 points or more this week, you were one of nine – I doff my cap, you jammy…

 

So, congrats Justin, £20 winging it’s way to you ASAP – you’ve already broke even!

Always the best week to win it – innit!

 

 

“Hard Times”:

Did you score more than Mr 2-0 this week?

Wow. To be fair that was quite an achievement…yes, I’m hugging myself in a self conglatulatory manner. And?

34 of youse couldn’t manage that this week.

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Leicester though eh?! <Miguel Almiron emoji face>

Eighteen players didn’t manage a correct score and 7 couldn’t muster up a measly 10 points!

One fella wishing he was being more “Brendan” though is Hira Yonzan 7 (0).

A woeful start sees him at the bottom of the pile in the opening week – a lesson learnt not to entrust your scores to “form and/or home advantage”…

What will the family say H??!

 

Correct Score of the Week:

In the bleak mid winter…you did very well! Most popular score was Celtic’s 1-2 win at St Johnstone– 22 of youse got that!

Nine doffed a cap to Citeh’s 3-0 deconstruction of Spurs

5 got West Ham 3 Sheff Utd 0

Five more had Cardiff’s 3-1 win over Coventry

4 believed in Leicester. A 3-1 kinda belief…

Tony M, Reagon K & Sam O got Lincoln’s “Desmond” with Accrington Stanley

Danny A, Rowan M & Tom M got the dull-all at Pittodrie

Anders H & Steve M nabbed the form book upsetting WBA 1 Man Utd 1

Sam A & Lewis M got the 3 goal demolition of Livingston by Dundee Utd

Jason M & Paul C celebrated the bore draw between Brighton & Villa

John J & Justin C thrilled at the thrilling Norwich 4 Stoke 1

Lewis M (again) was well away with the 0-2 away win for Barnsley

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Julian Fernandez for his I-knew-my-bruv-would-get-this-the-polar-opposite-wrong inspired, Arsenal 4 Leeds Utd 2

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 11th will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 33rd in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 65th in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 11th…yeah?!

Good.

So, debutant Lewis Marriott is first up.

Lewis, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be a home, away or draw. It doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or dogs! Or fighting crickets! But not cricket…that’s a step too far!

Let’s get off to a winning start for a change.

No pressure…
