“There’s no going back now Scotland…”

 

“How High”:

It was a pretty average week this week, even Mr 2-0 sat happily on 23 points.

Bah.

But average it was not at the top of the weekly pile – it was a right ol’ ding dong!

Only eight players breached 30 points or more and 4 of them went at it…sort’ve.

Vying for top spot all the way were Simon B & Jason M – then they both produced a “Not Super” Sunday….

Rob C was flying – only to rue missing out predicting on five whole games!

Exciting eh?!

On to Monday then, and that left Peter Morley 36 (7) in nervous hope for 91 minutes surely not envisaging VAR stepping in to award West Ham a 2-0 win with that 92nd minute penalty – but they did.

And those four points propelled him to the top and the £20 prize was claimed!

The cherry on the icing of some pie n mash (loads o’ liquor)!

 

 

 

“Hell Is Round The Corner”:

Usually, I feel weak from the weekly pain of being a bit rubbish.

But this week a whopping 40 players couldn’t even reach the 20 points mark and I wasn’t one of them – whoop whoop!

Alas, a fantastic four didn’t get a correct score.

One didn’t make double figures…

Lagging way off the pace this week was Max Morgan 7 (0).

 

Welcome to the Big Boys League Maximus, the honeymoon is over kid…

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Blimey…most popular score was Blackburn’s 2-1 win over Birmingham– 27 of youse got that!

 

 

Fifteen banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Sheff U & Norwich

10 just knew Brighton would score against Citeh for a 3-1

Pete B, Debbie L & Tim P lapped up the injury time joy of Leeds 2 Fulham 3

Paul C nabbed the form book upsetting Man U v Man C Salford 0 Stockport 2

Dan C saw VAR do no harm in the 1-2 game at Hibs on Friday night

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Tom Wooldridge-Stevens for his don’cha-just-love-a-non-Scottish-stalemate inspired, Middlesbrough 0 Huddersfield 0!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Paul Henshaw was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

He delivered…

 

Home wins for

Blackburn – hooray!

Boro – boooo!

Swansea – hooray!

 

 

So, £3.45 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd, leaving it on £8.76 – nearly pays for a PAS World Cup entry that!

 

 

Julian Fernandez & Gareth Morgan are at 60th this week…my bruv was first out the hat, so…

JuJu, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

 

Can you add to the sizeable chunk already on there?!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Overcome”:  Jason Morris moves up one to the top, 2 points ahead of Dan W who, in turn, is one point ahead of Scott H in third.

 

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“Aftermath”:  Dan Miller slips a place to the bottom, six points behind Pete C who, in turn, is, 2 points off Matthew M…

 

 

 

 

“C’mon Baby”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Peter Morley – honourable mentions go to Andy K (+11), Pete B (+11), Mark J B (+10), Lee F (+10), and Rob C (+19)

 

 

 

 

“Slow”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping (?!) 16 places are John King & Justin Corliss – dishonourable mentions go to Martin S (-11), Neil O (-14), Darren McC (-12), Reagon K (-13), Ryan G (-12), Stuart F (-10), and Max M (-14)

“Touche!”

 

“Dinner With Gershwin”:

You know how PAS is set up so the “best, most deserving” are rewarded at the end of the season?

Well, I got my sums wrong and now I’d like to change it to the least deserving to reap the rewards! <rubs hands together as the Fernandez clan will 100% clean up>

What?!

U-turn?

Moi?!!!

Luckily PAS Towers is a paragon of sense and justice and fairness, (plus there are two Board members bigger than me), so madness cannot ensue…

 

Poor attempt at satire aside –

Only four people managed 30 points or more in a week which saw a dearth of correct scores.

Neil M was even more excitable than a “Leo” on the Guinness, Matthew S spied some sibling schadenfreude, and Jazz S threatened to take the throne back for at least a week…

Edging them all out though was Olly Osmond 34 (6) – a Forest missed penalty, Ronnie’s “cheek” chalked off and the lovely VAR at Leeds all contributing to a narrow win and that £20 prize.

 

Bravo Mr O, wanna buy a white label of Chemical Brothers, “Song To The Siren”?

 

 

 

 

“Love’s Unkind”:

Yuck of a week across the board with 15 punters posting fifteen points or less.

Someone who needs to be less Truss and more Nandy is Martin Stafford 8 (0) who was not only bottom of the pile, but the only one with zero correct scores…

 

Pied!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse…most popular score was Wolves’ 1-0 win over Forest – 22 of youse got that!

 

Seven celebrated the bore draw between St Mirren & Kilmarnock

Howard T, Darren McC & Emma T just knew Stockport would score against Grimsby for a 1-3

Andy C, Danny A & Ric P got Fulham’s “Desmond” with Bournemouth

Tim P snaffled up the 5 points served up by Port Vale & Forest Green

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Neil Templeton for his he-took-the-words-right-out-my-mouth-on-What’s-App inspired, Leicester City 0 Crystal Palace 0!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Ben McKeown was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 9 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Controversially just missed…

“I fancy us (Toon) to win tomorrow BUT I’m not betting on that. We’ll go for a lower league North-Eastern triumvirate….”

 

South Shields (Road to Wembley) – in!

Middlesbrough (Road to Nowhere) – out!

Darlo (Road to the Vanarama!) – out!*

 

*Usually, Bet 365 offers a payout if your team goes 2 goals up in a game, but in this case, it didn’t apply!

And Darlo let a 0-2 lead slip for a 2-2 draw…

Quaked.

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd, leaving it on sweet nothing – still a chance though!

 

 

Paul Henshaw is at 83rd this week…

Mr H, I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

 

 

Last chance to add something!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“State Of Independence”:  Dan Wayman stays top, now only 7 points ahead of Jason M who, in turn, is two points ahead of Scott H in third.

 

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

 

 

“This Time I Know It’s For Real”:  Matthew Murphy stays bottom, still two points behind Dan M who, in turn, is, umm, 4 points off moi…

 

 

 

 

“I Feel Love”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping(?!) 18 places is Matthew Stafford – honourable mentions go to Paul F (+14), Danny A (+16), Predictz (+14), and Gareth M (+15)

 

 

 

 

“Rumour Has It”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Martin Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Alex R (-14), Rob C (-16), and Paul H (-18)

PAS Champions League Group Stages 2022/23:

It. Was. Telling.

“Scary monsters…”

 

 

 

“Info Freako”:

Oooooh the heady heights of four correct scores had me wondering “just maybe” –  just like Man Yoo at 13.59 on Sunday…

Could it happen?! Will I get the chance to shine, banish my self doubt and silence the haters, the cynics, the critics?

Nah.

Like them, it was a cursory cameo, when what was required was something spectacular… like a Larry Blackmon codpiece (see what I did there?!)

 

Anyway…

At least four punters put me in my proper place, cocking a snook with their 3o plus point tallies.

But, one person clocked up forty points this week!

Aberdeen 4-1, an inevitable PNE shut out and that Granit Xhaka goal all added up to a convincing victory.

 

Paul Carter 40 (5) swooped in like Scaramouch & Bowen preying on a shot (shy) Wolves to snatch up this week’s £20 prize  – Magnifico!

Bonzer! Flaming galahs! Neighbours! Schooners! Crocodile Dundee! Nuns In A Scrum! Kylie! Prawns on a bar-b! “Bowling, Shane” etc etc…

 

 

 

 

“Never Enough”:

Loads of 15 points or less scores this week – twenty three in fact!

It was looking a lot like Pete C & Ryan G hand in hand in the corridor of uncertainty, heading for the long walk of weekly shame (it takes 7 days apparently)…

But their dual blushes were spared as newbie Paul Flaherty 10 (0) strolled in with some “the honeymoon’s over” form to plough that furrow on his ownsome.

Howay, man!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Yesssssssss…most popular score was Chelsea’s 1-2 win at Paliss (still love you Conor!) – 28 of us got that!

 

Eight revelled in the schadenfreude of Arsenal’s superb derby win

7 got the dull-all not at Deepdale, but at the Stadium of Light

Five lapped up the injury time joy of Reading 3 Huddersfield 1

Neil T, Hira y & Orla McK thrilled at the thrilling Burton Albion 3 Forest Green Rovers 2

Dave N & Dom W celebrated the bore draw between Bournemouth & Brentford

Sam O turned up Leeds 0 Villa 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there…

Paul C quite rightly predicted Aberdeen’s 4-1 thrashing of Kilmarnock

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to ME! for my it’s-my-ball-and-i’ll-go-in-if-you-don’t let-me inspired, Celtic 2 Motherwell 1!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Peter Morley was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

He stuck with the horses and we won again!

 

Rohaan @ Ascot 3pm – won

Mellow Yellow @ Newmarket 4.27pm – didn’t win

Alpinissta @ Longchamps 3.05pm – won!

 

 

So, £11 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th– taking it to a handsome £34.85 – wow!

 

Lee Taylor is at 45th this week…

Mr T , I need your 3 choices for a trixie by Saturday lunchtime, please!

We’re on a roll!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Right Here, Right Now”:  Dan Wayman moves up 3 places to the top of the tree, 1 point ahead of Charlie H who, in turn, is one point ahead of Scott H in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Bring It On Down”:  Matthew Murphy stays bottom, now seven points behind Dan M who, in turn, is 1 point off Patricia F…

 

 

“International Bright Young Thing”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 43 places is Paul Carter – honourable mentions go to Tim P (+25), Rowan M (+15), John K (+29), Orla McK (+18), and Paul H (+16)

 

 

“Real Real Real”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places is Ryan Graves – dishonourable mentions go to Simon T (-15), Kate S (-18), John N (-17), Lee T (-15), Rob C (-15), and Paul F (-16)
