“Jesus is coming…”
“Chime”:
Not since Charlie Nicholas putting us 0-1 up in a Milk Cup quarter final in 1986 has Villa Park witnessed such ecstatic carnage in the away section as it did on Saturday lunchtime (although we brought 8,000 up that night!).
And talking of thrilling finishes…
Nine punters scored more than 30 points in a proper scrap for the £20 weekly prize this week!
Justin C produced an inspired performance (39 pts) after his horror show last week and Ben H notched up a very creditable 42 points after a similar shaky Week 1.
In fact, Ben went toe-to-toe and blow-for-blow only to be undone by an old man still recreating his magic after all these years…
But!
Don’t give up kids!
“All the high scorers will mess up sooner or later…” is surely the message here (even if you miss out by a measly point!)
After smashing in 3 correct scores courtesy of 90 min+ goals, a 4-0 and a 0-0, Dan Wayman 43 (8) is not letting up his grip on that trophy he won last season (hold on, is that why it’s broken?!).
As mentioned, Ben H matched him all the way, but it was some Neil Warnock wizardry in West Yorkshire that secured the telling correct score to get our current champion over the line…
Well played Mr. W!
“Satan”:
Gawd! Can you imagine being sold the PAS dream by your mate with the line, “but all your mates are doing it…” and then walking into a nightmare?
11 PASers didn’t get beyond fifteen points this week, with 4 not getting a single correct score.
One didn’t manage double figures.
Suman Kaflee 9 (0) is probably pining for the Bundesliga right now…
Welcome Hr. K!
Correct Score of the Week:
Another bumper week folks…most popular score was St Mirren’s 1-0 win over Ross County– 28 of youse got that!
Seventeen had Celtic’s merciless mauling of Aberdeen
15 had Boro’s 3-1 win over QPR
Thirteen were all over the 0-3 to Rangers
11 doffed a cap to Man Utd’s 3-0 deconstruction of Leicester
Six turned up Hull 0 PNE 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who were actually there…
4 got the o-3 Posh win over Morecambe
Rob C & Kate S banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt AFC Wimbledon & Hartlepool
Stuart F & Dan C had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at the DW Stadium
Danny B & Moi bribed Dan & Dave to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the backend, and waltzed off with Watford 3 WBA 2.
However, this week’s best correct score goes to….no one. Again. No unique correct score for a second week…this is a first!
Bet of the Week:
Luke Stafford 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?!
Oh dear…
So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – not the ideal start is it!
Loads are at 60th this week….but Matt Worsfold was first out the hat though!
Maffew, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!
Will you go jellied eel racing?
No pressure treacle!
