“Hahaha, look! She’s put 0-9 for Celtic..”

 

 

 

“Golden”:

There’ll be dancing on the streets of Tarragona, Catalonia this week! Not because the PAS Board synchronised holidays are going as expected, awash with local “refreshments” (my God, Mythos tastes good here!), more cos the pre-season memo to the Board to “actually bother doing your scores as we are like our public” appears to be paying off. And some!

Dave Nicklin 37 (5) managed to tear himself away from the brandy horchatas & “Crocodile Shoes” on the karaoke to put in 30 predictions that just edged out ex-League Champion & What’s App group agitator, Charlie H and the other 11 bods who racked up 30 points or more this week.

Congrats pet, £20 towards that (questionable) away kit for the bairn?!

 

 

 

“Two Ghosts”:

Really really not the week to lose ground! So not getting more than 15 points was always gonna put a real dampener on proceedings for those sixteen PASers who did just that this week…

Twelve didn’t manage a correct score either.

Peter M really should be in your thoughts though as he managed 19 points without a correct score – ouch!

However, this week’s duffers are Anders Hoglund & Lee Ford 12 (0) – actually, not that bad considering lads!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

If I wasn’t laying in the sun, I’d be in abject misery…most popular score was Rangers’ 4-0 win over Ross County– 22 (!) of youse got that!

 

 

Fourteen celebrated the bore draw between Cardiff and Preston

4 nailed Huddersfield 2 WBA 2

Four more somehow stumbled on Man City 4 Palace 2 (how????)

Dave N & Dan H, ahem, DEFINITELY didn’t tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the backend to waltz off with Hearts 3 St Johnstone 2

Charlie H got the no favours to the away contingent 0-1 Reading win at ‘Wall

Greg F just knew Stoke would keep a clean sheet for a o-1 at Blackburn

Greg F (again!) said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Watford 2 QPR 3

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Rowan Marriott for his now-I-have-5-minutes-to-myself–I-can-predict-properly inspired, Hull 3 Coventry 2!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Richard Hirst was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Tricky went for the tricky selections we love here, and…

 

Get in my son!

 

 

“Burnley to win at Wigan” – tick

“Portsmouth to win at Port Vale” – tick

“Salford to beat Stevenage” – boom!!

 

 

So, £? goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th  – I can’t access my betting site of choice here in Crete so I’ll confirm the amount when I’m back! It’s good though…

 

Orla McKeown is at 45th this week….

Miss McKeown, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please! (but don’t include any Friday games!). Oh, and ask you dad if you’re allowed first!!

 

Tough act to follow young lady…good luck!

 

 

Table News:

 

“Lights Up”:  Charlie Harris moves up 4 places to the top, 3 points ahead of Paul F who, in turn, is one correct score ahead of Hira Y in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Sign Of The Times”:  Eddie Osborne is still rooted to the bottom, but now joined by Matthew Murphy, and they are five points off John J…

 

 

“Fine Line”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 58 places is Dave Nicklin – honourable mentions go to Martin S (+47), Pete B (+46), Matt W (+39), Matthew S (+39), and Kate S (+34)

 

 

“Falling”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 39 places is Lily Templeton – dishonourable mentions go to Dom W (-36), Stephen P (-36), Jamie S (-34), Lee F (-32), and Ryan G (-30)

Yes mate! Exactly what we think of non-PAsers…

 

“Golden”:

So many sob stories out there this week – “I got the most results right this week without a single correct score – waaaaaah!” & “I hate PAS” & “the week I don’t leave it to Mr 2-0 and look what happens…” were just a few.

If you were part of our ever entertaining What’s App group, you’d be all too familiar with woes of “unnecessary (usually last minute) goals” etc. too…

But before you (we, actually) feel sorry for yourself though, be aware only 27 people scored more than 20 points in Week 2…yep, silver linings n all that.

Anyway,

Only one of our parish scored 30 points or more.  * gritted teeth emoji *

Any significant challengers?

Paul F was an inspired newbie, The Hogwoods pushed on en masse, The King flirted with the weekly prize, Paul V used his Super 6 as a springboard, Sam O led the Under-5s charge and Ben McK must have thought it was all on after “Wor Mitro” monstered a last minute header for a bumper 9 pointer!

However, after smashing in a 2-0 at Ashton Gate where I was confidently, patiently awaiting a 2-1 (Bristol City ALWAYS concede in the last minute!!!), Ric Pardoe 33 (6) sneaked away with the £20 prize all thanks to not actually predicting 3 of Sunday’s games and the aforementioned default score seeing him over the line…

Congrats Ricardo, going with your head rather than heart on the Stockport game really paid off too mate!

 

 

“You Got Me”:

Gawd! A raft of casualties this week…actually, it was complete carnage.

Thirty two punters failed to reach the 15 points mark.

Thirteen (!) didn’t register a correct score.   * Miguel Almiron emoji *

A Famous Five didn’t make double figures (Timmy did though!)

Martin Stafford 7 (0) magnanimously spared the blushes of the other four by literally being on the beach on his jollies without a (PAS) care in the world…

At least you’re above the scousers now though Mr S…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow…most popular score was Everton’s 1-1 draw with Nottm Forest– 17 of youse got that!

Sixteen were well away with the 0-3 away win for Arsenal

5 saw their typos come good on the game at Old Trafford

Five more got the dull-all at Deepdale

4 lapped up the injury time joy of Fulham 3 Brentford 2

Anders H, Darren McC & my Mum thrilled at the thrilling Palace 3 Villa 1

Mike K & Orla McK (welcome!) landed on the two-two in Edinburgh. The right side of Edinburgh…

Sam O got the 0-2 Seagulls win over West Ham

Ben H was all over the Green nil-three to Plymouth at The New Lawn Stadium

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Justin Corliss for his I-love-a-greasy-chip-butty inspired, Sheffield Utd 3 Blackburn 0!

Bet of the Week:

Dan Clarke was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He went for a Friday night dinner, and…

Yes!

“Monchengladbach to beat Hertha Berlin- aaaahhhhhh, yes

Lyon to beat Troyes – aaaahhhhhhhh, yes

Millwall to draw at Norwich” – ooooooh, no

So, £1.51 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd  – it’s a start!

Richard Hirst is at 60th this week….

Tricky, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Friday lunchtime, please!

They can be any choice you want btw – BTTS? Goalscorers? A mixture??!

They don’t even have to be football! Horses? American Football? Golf?? Strictly??! Actually…

 

 

Table News:

 

“Hate On Me”:  Hira Yonzan stays top 2 points ahead of Andy K who, in turn, is five points ahead of debutant Paul F in third.

 

Five crashed the Top Ten.

 

“A Long Walk”:  Ooops! Eddie Osborne remains bottom of the pile four points behind Chris D who, in turn, is 1 point off Damian H…

 

“The Way”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 54 places is Ric Pardoe – honourable mentions go to Ben McK (+44), Jack B (+38), Ben H (+28), Dom W (+22), Rowan M (+24), Jazz S (+44), Rob C (+28), Nick H (+33), Luke S (+31), John K (+24), Julian F (+20) and Mr 2-0 (+26)

 

“Gettin’ In The Way”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 47 places is Martin Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Dave N (-38), Pete B (-38), John D (-41), Dan M (-45), Samantha R (-30), Matthew S (-25), Predictz (-33, Richard H (-26), Gareth M (-25), Simon Lindq (-24), Lee F (-24), George T (-30) and Scott H (-25)

This canary avoided the coalmine last season…can you take his crown?

 

 

“Xanadu”:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Arsenal – PAS!

Given the quick smart sharpness of this update, I could’ve waxed lyrical about “trusting the process”, that handshake, the genius of Paddy Vieira and then gone deep into the absurdness of that “offside” rule…

But I won’t.

I’ll cut to the chase as it was all about the “The Seven” this week – and we had a right ol’ ding dong for top spot in Week 1!

One Man Yoo fan quite clearly not following “The Ten (Hag)” dictum this weekend was Hira Yonzan 45 (7) who had a London injury time double (Dieng 92′ & Kane 96′) to thank for 10 points that looked to have gone…and then won him the weekly prize!

Spare a thought for Andy K who got very close after getting off to a flyer on Saturday morning, but then Sunday didn’t shine…

 

So, congrats Mr Y, £20 winging its way back to you ASAP – should secure you one of those “Glazers Out” banners  *cheesy grin emoji*

 

 

“Don’t Stop Believin’”:

Did you score 30 points + this week? Wow, we’re in awe…

Twenty-one of you managed that, but 12 punters couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week  – and ten couldn’t muster a correct score!

Shocking.

Not as shocking as not hitting double digits though, right?

Ahem…

Three unfortunates managed this abject achievement but it’s Eddie Osborne  7 (0),  who finds himself in the wooden spoon slot on the opening week…

 

‘Ed up son!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I want to howl at the moon…most popular score was Man City’s 4-0 drubbing of AFC Bournemouth– 34(!) of youse got that!

 

Seventeen felt Fergie vibes when that Harry Kane 96th minute goal secured a 5 pointer 2-2 at Chelsea

11 got QPR’s late “Desmond” with Sunderland

Eleven more quite rightly predicted the Teddy Bears’ 4-0 thrashing of St Johnstone

8 nailed Middlesbrough 2 Sheff Utd 2

Six snaffled up the 5 points served up by Southampton & Leeds

4 had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Molineux

Rob C & Lisa W (welcome!) somehow stumbled on Liverpool 1 Palace 1 (how????)

Anders H & Danny B (welcome back!) had Huddersfield’s 3-1 win over Stoke

Sam A doffed a cap to Celtic’s 0-5 deconstruction of Kilmarnock

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and current Correct Score of the Season, goes to Greg Fleming for his I-used-to-frequent-the-Den-and-you-don’t-want-to-go-two-up-there inspired, Millwall 3 Coventry 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 83rd will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 60th 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 33rd in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 83rd…yeah?!

Good.

So, Dan Clarke is first up.

Danielsan, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be homes, aways or draws. 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 mate…
