PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’24 Week 1 round up

“It’s Tottenham…”

 

 

 

King:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Arsenal – PAS!

 

Anyway…

I’ll cut to the chase (sort’ve) as it was all about 30 points + this week – and, 6 of the 99 signed up for this season did just that – go team!

Ric P & (gasp!) My Mum hit the sweet spot, Pete B went two better and Chris D went 1 more point beyond that –  impressive starts people…

Justin C slammed in a nine pointer plus 3 x five pointers but was denied the £20 weekly prize by a scouser who still believes…

Congrats to Andy Fowler 44 (7) who just knew his team would beat Palace this week, and just for good measure nonchalantly lobbed in a ten pointer correct score!

The best week to win as you can’t lose now A!

The Magnificent 7

Blackburn 2 0 QPR
Chelsea 4 2 Brighton
Everton 2 1 Crystal Palace
Middlesbrough 2 0 Stoke
Bromley 1 1 MK Dons
Motherwell 2 1 St Mirren
Swansea 1 1 Bristol City

 

 

 

 

 

Food For Thought:

Did you score 25 points+ this week?

Wow, we’re in awe…

Eight punters couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week  – and four couldn’t muster a correct score.

Shocking.

Damian W & Greg F were spared big blushes courtesy of another family tragedy – yep, Francesca Fernandez 12 (1) actually did her scores this week, and look what happened…

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Just…how??! – most popular score was Aberdeen’s 1-2 win at Dundee – 29 of youse got that!

 

Nine got Derby 3 Rotherham 0

9 more had Bournemouth’s 3-1 Monday night win over Southampton

Six grateful for the 3-1 ‘Wall win over PNE

Julian F & Matthew E (welcome!) got the dull-all at Fratton Park

Danny B & Predictz got Ipswich’s “Desmond” with Aston Villa

Danny A got the 0-1 Cottagers win over Forest

Laura H (welcome!) lapped up the Friday night 93rd minute joy of Plymouth 3 Luton 1

Justin C made us all green by happening upon Sheff Wed 3-2 WBA

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Andy Fowler for his I-knew-Miss-Jackson-wouldn’t-let-me-down inspired, Chelsea 4 Brighton 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, there was a clutch of players there this week, but our fave Canary Ben Hogwood is first up.

Mr H, 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..
