“it’s nearly May and the weather…jeeeez!”

 

 

 

 

“King For A Day“:

Greetings from a train travelling to Oporto from Lisboa! (yes, the wifi works Avanti!).

As we close in on another season, the madness arrives once again…

But for all the “chancey” predictions, only 5 players scored more than thirty points this week.

Andy F put in a sterling effort with 19 point-scoring predictions, George T is possibly rueing not predicting on the Friday night festival of football the Emirates and my mum, well, she scored over twenty points…and how!

Jazz S recalled the halcyon days with a couple of five-pointers that took him close to the £20 weekly prize.

So, who was at the top?

Well, we have another double weekly winner amidst us!

Neil Osborne 40 (8) has a brace of injury-time goals to thank this time round – Bristol City’s 91st minute winner & the 94th minute own goal equaliser for PNE to be precise.

 

Well done Señor O, can you predict an away win at the Etihad tonight?!

 

 

 

“If You Were Here”:

Meanwhile, the madness at the other end of the scale, was off the scale!

Twenty nine of you failed to score more than 15 points and seven of those didn’t have a single correct score between them – ooof!

 

Greg F, Dom W & Suman K didn’t get out of single figures.

 

But their shame was spared by Dan Clarke 7 (0) who tipped us all off on What’s App –  which is kind of a jeopardy spoiler?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Amazing stuff players…most popular score was Fulham’s 2-1 win over Leeds  – 31 of youse got that!

 

Seventeen got Man City’s 3 goal semi-final demolition of Sheffield Utd

5 decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Palace. And they did…

Patricia F & Debbie L made us all green by happening upon Burnley 1-2 QPR. Wait, what???!

Mark S & Sam A just knew Ipswich would keep a clean sheet for a 0-3 at The Posh

Pete C obviously guessed Crawley would beat Hartlepool 0-2

Gareth M saw his typo come good on the game at Birmingham

Deepak B said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Charlton 2 Morecambe 3

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Patricia Fernandez for her out-of-chaos-eventually-comes-order inspired, Liverpool 3 Nottingham Forest 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Rich Lee was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

He must have moved to Germany cos we didn’t hear from him…

 

 

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on £5.27 – just about get you a pint then…

 

 

Jason Morris is at 45th this week….

Jay, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Make The Syndicate proud!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Love On Your Side”:

Dan Wayman is looking good to retain his title, 25 points ahead of Charlie H who, in turn, is two points ahead of Peter M in third…

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Hold Me Now“:

Patricia Fernandez stays bottom, but now only nine points behind Lily T who, in turn, is 1 point off John J…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“You Take Me Up”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 44 places is Neil Osborne – honourable mentions go to George T (+18), Andy F (+25), Tom M (+15), Mark S (+19), Jazz S (+29), and Julian F (+17).

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Watching”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Dan Clarke – dishonourable mentions go to Rob C (-17), Jamie S (-15), Suman K (-18), Tom W-S (-15), and Scott H (-15)

 “Yes, i know, i know…”

 

 

 

 

“Forget Me Nots“:

In a week that saw only 19 punters score thirty points or more, an edgy “tactic” came to the fore…

Rob C decided that only predicting for 11 games might be the way forward – and only missed the £20 weekly prize by six points!

Olly O & Charlie H took the traditional route and came up short by 5 and 4 points respectively.

Matthew M had a stormer, including Celtic’s very unlikely (at half time) 9-pointer and was scuppered only by his belief in Forest to beat Man Yoo – ohhhhh, Maffew!

So that left Will Oppong 41 (6) to scoop it up and strut proudly down Croydon High Street smug in the knowledge that putting in just 33% of effort (yes, that’s 10 predictions) can sometimes pay off…

 

If only Arsenal had done the same on Sunday eh, Willo?

 

 

 

 

“Anything Can Happen”:

Down in the depths, it was a real case of “whoah! it’s me” as only seven players didn’t score more than 15 points this week.

3 didn’t manage a correct score between them.

 

And of those, Tom Morley & Ben Hogwood 12 (0) were the barrel scrapers…

 

Maybe a 33% alcoholic beverage will make you feel a bit better chaps!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

My word…most popular score was Brighton’s 1-2 win at Chelsea  – 27 of us got that!

 

Eleven quite rightly predicted Celtic’s 1-4 thrashing of Kilmarnock

Neil T & John K landed on the two-two in East London on Sunday. <stifles sob>

Darren McC & Norman L were well away with the 0-3 away win for Coventry at QPR

Debbie L & Predictz were grateful for the 3-1 City win over Leicester City

Deepak B celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 1-3 to Fulham at Everton

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Max Morgan for his even-watching-Sp*rs-isn’t-this-bleak inspired, Blackburn 0 Hull 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Matthew Murphy was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 9 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

He replied, and we have a winner (kinda)!

 

“Games with over 2.5 goals…”

Spurs v Bournemouth – oh yes!

QPR v Coventry – uh huh!

Grimsby v Mansfield – nah!

So, £2.27 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd taking it to £13.32 – very acceptable, me thinks…

 

 

Rich Lee is at 60th this week….

 

Ricardo, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Need a good slice on here mate!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Number One”:

Dan Wayman is still top, extending the lead to 26 points ahead of Charlie H who, in turn, is three points ahead of Peter M in third…

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Watch Out!“:

Patricia Fernandez remains bottom, eighteen points behind Howard T who, in turn, is 10 points off Lily T…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I Was Tired Of Being Alone”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places is Will Oppong – honourable mentions go to Matthew M (+21), Olly O (+23), and Rob C (+23).

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Haven’t You Heard”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 29 places were Tom Morley & Ben Hogwood – a dishonourable mention goes to Bijay L (-20)

“Weather To Fly”:

This week in 2015...

“Imagine one of your best mates got sacked from a Championship side at the behest of some chicken frying clowns – you’d be gutted, right?

Imagine if, in the same week, you managed to record the WORST score EVER in PAS history!

Double gutted?

Triple gutted??!

Embarrassed even?

That’s exactly what happened to our favourite Polski PAS son, Rowan Marriott 4 (0) this week – imagine??!

Surely, a punt on the Lottery can do no harm now can it Row…”

 

This week…

“Imagine one of your best mates is sitting atop the Scottish Championship with a city famous for its comic clowns (we won’t mention their up-to-1983 policy on Catholics..) – you’d be made up, right?

Imagine if, in the same week, you managed to record your SECOND weekly win in the same season in your PAS history EVER!

Double made up?

Triple joy??!

Boastful even?

That’s exactly what happened to our favourite Polski PAS son, Rowan Marriott 41 (6) this week – imagine??!

Surely, you feel like you’ve won the Lottery Row…”

 

Another £20 coming your way then fella!

 

Oh. And…

12 people scored thirty points or more this week – Charlie H & Darren McC went close and, were it not for a 93rd minute goal for Plymouth, a resurgent Paul H would have taken the spoils…oooof!

 

 

 

“The Loneliness Of A Tower Crane Driver”:

A proper barren Week 9 for most, with lots only notching 1 correct score in a “twenty odd points” kinda week.

Nineteen only managed no more than 15 points or less.

5 with no correct scores.

Two got a single digit tally.

Bottom of the pile then, were Lily Templeton & Suman Kaflee 9 (0) – if you’re still here in eight years time mind…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Pah!…most popular score was Toon’s 1-2 win at Brentford  – 22 of youse got that!

 

Eighteen(!) thrilled at the thrilling Celtic 3 Rangers 2

12 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Morecambe 1 Plymouth 3

Twelve somehow stumbled on Southampton 1 Man City 4 (how????)

8 snaffled up the 5 points served up by Liverpool & Arsenal

Reagon K was all over the 0-2 to St Mirren at Hearts

John J got the 1-2 Robins win over Stoke

Paul C was well away with the 0-2 away win for Norwich at Blackburn

Will O just knew Blackpool would score against Cardiff for a 1-3

Jason M got the dull-all at The New Den

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Charlie Harris for his I-love-Colin-and-his-pints-of-raw-eggs inspired, Watford 2 Huddersfield 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dilip Adhikari was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 8 so we asked him (again) to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It was a no show – again!

Obviously, something lost in translation or people really don’t read this far down…imagine?!

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd taking it to £8.03 – noice!

 

 

Matthew Murphy is at 83rd this week….

 

Mathaus, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Don’t let me down, son!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Leaders Of The Free World”:

Dan Wayman stays top, now a big big 22 points ahead of Paul H who, in turn, is two points ahead of Neil M in third…he’s on for a title defence, y’know!

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Forget Myself“:

Patricia Fernandez stays in last place, a big big sixteen points behind Howard T who, in turn, is 7 points off Lily T…she’s on for a wooden spoon defence, y’know!

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Starlings”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 36 places is Darren McCarthy – honourable mentions go to Rowan M (+19), Charlie H (+18), Kate S (+19), Andy C (+21), and Jason M (+15).

 “Yes, away fan. You’re sitting all the way up there, man!”

 

 

 

 

“Dreams Of Children”:

A poor performing week with a ridiculous scrap at the top – so I’ll cut to the chase!

Only six people scored 30 points or more…

Greg F & Max M put in a fair shift but came up short (Greg will be fuming at that 91st minute goal at Kenilworth Road!).

Mike K walloped in the Brighton score only to be scuppered by Barnsley’s 5th in the 93rd minute.

Andy K lashed in the Man City score only to be undone by the 94th minute winner at Hartlepool.

Tom M was robbed by that Campbell goal at Luton…

So that left Neil Osborne 34 (5), rueing a 94th winner at Palace AND a 99th minute winner at Cardiff, but jumping for joy a la Jeff Stelling as that 94th minute Oliver Finney winner secured the £20 weekly prize!

 

After all that Neil, I bet you were as breathless as Roger at Wembley in ’78!

 

 

 

“Funeral Pyre”:

It really was a bonfire for the 35(!) of us who couldn’t score more than fifteen points this week.

Thirteen didn’t notch a correct score.

4 didn’t get a double figure tally!

 

Propping us all up this week was Simon Lindsay 8 (0) – mate, really hasn’t been a week to be Spurs has it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Just, no…most popular score was Forest’s 1-1 draw with Wolves – 18 of youse got that!

 

 

Nine obviously guessed Arsenal would beat Leeds 4-1

Danny B, Neil O & Matthew M had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at The Hawthorns

Danny B (again!), David G & Tom M turned up Hull 0 Rotherham 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Paul C, Lee T & Andy B just knew Blackpool would score against Preston for a 3-1

Chris D, Mike K & Dan C bribed Dan & Dave to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the back end and waltzed off with Brighton 3 Brentford 3

Andy K & Justin C somehow stumbled on Man City 4 Liverpool 1 (how????)

Tim P nabbed the form book upsetting Kilmarnock 2 Hearts 1

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his Emery-is-no-Dick inspired, Chelsea 0 Aston Villa 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dilip Adhikari was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It was a no show – not a bratwurst!

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – up & running!

 

 

Dilip Adhikari is at 33rd this week….wait! what?!

 

Herr A, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Surely you’ve read this far this week?!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

Dan Wayman is still top, 13 points ahead of Paul C who, in turn, is eight points ahead of Paul F in third…
