“Slotted”:

So, who won?

Well…it’s a PASer who has, let’s say, been very much an enthusiastic member of the PAS family for a while now.

Letting the “this-is-how-to-win-a-league-title” weekly performances do the talking “on the pitch” and opting to stay “humble” (take note Erland!) on our What’s App group (erm, the rest of youse are all on there aren’t you?!) paid dividends.

Despite having the perfect opportunity to showboat that came apparent quite early in the season…

It was a close, compacted (bar the Top 2!) & confusing season that included a raft of bizarre results, more post 90th minute goals than ever before & yet more tirades of abuse aimed at the much maligned Mr 2-0 <coughs> (Check out where he finished all you naysayers!)

And, whilst the Gunners kinda grind their way to, ahem, the title (please let it happen!!!) with their trust in the process very much ensconced in the real world, our champion pretty much opted to emulate the Reds bolt from the blocks as a blueprint for their PAS victory!

A few players (well, one) sort’ve threatened to win it, but…

No one got really got that close to a tally that now goes into the Top Twenty, ermmm, with a bullet(?), as the 19th “best winning score” ever!

To be perfectly frank, it was over after 4 weeks of play…

Our “Winter” champ started the season off at a “middling” 49th, before leaping up to 8th in Week 2 and then up another 3 places to 5th the next week.

Week 4 saw top spot secured – to then remain there for the duration. Blimey.

No.

Really.

Blimey!!

With the “determination” of a seasoned PAS pro, when really it mattered, all challengers were brushed aside in a remarkable performance of concentrated consistency!

So, lords, ladies & gents, please be upstanding and doff your caps to the very popular Hira Yonzan 359 (56) – He. Is. A. Winner!

After the heartbreak of having to settle for a “ghost” league title win in that horrid Covid season, this accolade was H’s Everest, and he trewkked. And he conquered!

Whether some sort of boksi was deployed or it was just pure good fortune with bizarre scores will remain a mystery, but there’ll be dancing on the streets of the Windy City in the New Year…and no doubt deep-dish pizzas washed down with lashings of Modelo Especial!

I get the feeling his beleaguered nephew Bijay L isn’t going to hear the end of this…(Families, eh?!)

Ramro bhayo Mr Y, you’ve shown your beloved Red Devils the way to succeed this season! Think you might wanna give the White Sox a few tips too…

Hira won by a comprehensive 18 points from a vastly improved & dogged Ben Hogwood in second place.

Our “Canary” finished an even more impressive twenty four points ahead of a v smug faced Wool, Neil Meredith, who slotted nicely into third spot. Remember 1989 Neil…

Jason Morris was a mere 3 points behind in the not-too-shabby 4th berth (making him the toast of The Syndicate!), with “The King” Jazz Sian 1 point shy in 5th.

One point further back, proudly flying the “I’m The Top Girl” banner, Kate Slee returned a fine finish in sixth spot. Peter definitely does not do your scores though, right?!

Just an agonising one correct score back, Ryan Graves can reflect on a season tally of yore, (same heady height feeling as “Arne”, R?…), finishing in seventh whilst in eighth place (only 4 points back) was the “stole in at the last” Andy Kelly.

And, just two points behind him in 9th, across the seas (a lot of them) and into the southern hemisphere, was one of our loyal Aussie contingent, George Triantafillou!

Much closer to home, we find Andy Fowler who just nicked it from the Yanited following Rowan Marriott to finish 10th –  courtesy of two points…that’s scousers for ya!

“Slated”: 

Only 4 points(!), and 28 places, separated our new champion from our wooden spoon “champion”, Stephen Peaston 217 (15) in Week 1!

Awks…

Starting in 87th, poor SRP never really recovered.

Like a role model to rubbish rallying, it was plummet to 101st, then back up to 92nd, climbing & adding momentum to get to 72nd (a season high!) before falling back to 94th.

Week 6, and it was down to 99th.

Week 7 it was 101st.

A brief rally up to 100th followed…

Week 9 saw him sink to the second bottom (102nd)…

And there he stayed.

Week 13 capped off a miserable season as the final one place drop meant securing the wooden spoon by 4 points.

Leo C, Lee T, Neil C, & Mr 2-0 (ha!) made gallant efforts over the season to save Stevie’s blushes, but…

The Christmas gift that keeps giving…

“Off The Hook”:

You can tell it’s the holiday season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in.

Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into an alcoholic abyss with little chance of predicting succour…

Form goes out the window & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country.

So how do you combat this perennial problem?

Don’t ask me, I had Northampton & Spurs to draw..

However, as missing out on correct scores for Luton, Millwall & Leeds basically discounted you from any chance of winning this week – Jason M, Dave C, Julian F,  Sam A, Andy K & Neil M must be kicking themselves as an early Christmas gift was aptly handed over to The King.

Yep, Jazz Sian 40 (7) did it again – ding, dong! (merrily on high)

The aforementioned correct scores got Mr S on track to land the last weekly twenty quid prize…

Surely you’ll use that to back Arsenal Spurs for a trophy this season, J?!

Here’s the science bit – twenty four of youse managed 30 points or more.

Merry Christmas!

The Magnificent Seven 

Assists

C Morris (90’+2) – Luton

P Foden (90’+3) – Man City

“Alala”:

It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute shopping to be done.

Why bother doing your scores?

Andy B, Norman L, Rob C & Ben McK (the only one to have zero correct scores btw!) are wondering just that in a week where only 5 bods managed to score no more than fifteen points.

Surprised Man Yoo’s “run of form” came to a juddering halt? Well, don’t be.

Bijay Lama 9 (1) spectacularly returned to what he is doing best this season as the parallel form with the Red Devils continues…don’t tell Ruben, he might choke on his sprouts.

Correct Score of the Week:

A few (and I mean a few!) crackers here…most popular score was St Mirren’s 1-2 defeat of Ross County – 31 of youse got that!

Nineteen will shout out loud about the four goal humbling of Oxford by Leeds

Stuart F & Reagon K had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Goodison.

Howard T decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Fulham. And he did…

However, the final week’s best correct score goes to, Ray Bird for his I’ve-been-away-but-now-I’m-back-baby inspired, Ipswich 0 Newcastle 4!

Bet of the Week:

David Goggin was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

“Villa, Palace & Bournemouth all to win”

Great effort from all our BotWers this season.

Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…or not!

Table News:

“Alcohol”:

Two crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Julian Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Jamie S (+15), Simon B (+17), Dave C (+21), Rich L (+17), David M (+15), and Sam A (+19)

“Left Behind”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 18 places are Ben McKeown, Martin Stafford, David Goggin & Neil Templeton – dishonourable mentions go to Andy B (-14), Anders H (-14), Danny A (-17) and Rob C (-14)

Full season update is imminent once I can work out what day it is…

Actually, I’ll get it done before you go back to work in the New Year – honest!

Race ya to Galloways…

“Mandinka”:

Penultimate week and the ultimate set of random results, eh?!

Only 4 people managed to get thirty point or more but 6 had a realistic chance of winning the £20 weekly prize…

Rowan M had a couple of added-on time goals in his haul, Kate S had a 5 pointer nil-all but got turned over by Forest, Matthew E had three late goals assists but another one (Ipswich) ended his claim, and Matt W had a big nine pointer to his name but probably regrets missing the first game now.

We nearly had an early Christmas miracle as Leo C came out fighting (well, from Saturday morning he did – he missed the first game too!) only to see  Ipswich and, cruelly, Bournemouth taking away his moment in the limelight – ooof!

That left Martin Stafford 33 (6) sitting up top with a trio “last kick” goals taking him 1 point clear of the aforementioned unfortunate young man who is probably learning swearwords to call the West Ham defence!

What a week for Wigan!

Who’s that “score” going on in the darts then, M?

The Starring Six

Assists

J Whatmough (90’+3 og) – Leeds

A Elanga (90’+3) – Nottm Forest

A Diallo (90′) – Man Utd

“The Emperor’s New Clothes”:

Did you feel like tearing your hair out this week?

You weren’t alone…

Eighteen punters scored no more than 15 points this week.

A whopping ten didn’t muster a correct score.

But only one didn’t hit double digits.

Jamie Sellers 9 (0), how very QPR of you!

Correct Score of the Week:

Let’s forget about this week…most popular score was Burnley’s 1-2 win at Norwich – 29 of us got that!

Eleven got the very annoying 94th minute spoiling Hibs 3 Ross County 1

6 we’re so happy for Stoke 2-2 Cardiff they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Five decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Charlton. And they did…

4 were well away with the 1-3 away win for Wednesday

Matt W & Stephen P somehow stumbled on Swansea 2 Sunderland 3 (how????)

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Julian Fernandez for his next-season-Pompey-will-be-playing-one-of-these-teams-so-i-hope-they-can’t-goals inspired, Bromley 0 Port Vale 0!

Bet of the Week:

Simon B was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 11 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Ooops…again.

“Over 2.5 goals (2nd time lucky) :”

Arsenal v Everton – they could still be playing now and it’d be 0-0…

Sheff Utd v Plymouth – one goal short

Norwich v Burnley – yep

So, £0 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on £3 – hmmmmm…

David Goggin is at 33rd this week…

Mr G, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

Can we end on a big winner?!

Table News:

“All Kinds Of Everything”:

Hira Yonzan remains top, and will be crowned League Champion next week as he has a massive 17 points on Ben H who, in turn, is sixteen points ahead of Ryan G in third.

Three crashed the Top Ten.

“I Am Stretched On Your Grave”:

Lee Taylor dropped 2 places to the bottom, 6 points adrift of Stephen P, who, in turn, is 5 points behind Greg F…

“Thank You For Hearing Me”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places is Martin Stafford – honourable mentions go to Matthew E (+15), Matt W (+22), and Neil T (+15).

“Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 17 places is Jamie Sellers – dishonourable mentions go to Matthew S (-15) and Dave C (-15).

It’s Tottenham…

“Staring At The Sun”:

As the end of the “Winter” season appears on the horizon, the less games played, the less stress for those in pole positions.

Couple that with outrageous results wrong footing most of us, and it gets even better for those who “have” over those who “have not” a clue points…

So it was a huge boost for those in the Top Ten as only 4 players scored over thirty points this week.

My mum (!), Harry H & Andy K all put in a shift but it was someone in the 93rd berth that went above and beyond to claim the £20 weekly prize.

Bijay Lama 40 (7) somehow magicked a majestic score from only 27 matches. Three x 5 pointers did most of the damage along with triple helping of added on time goals. And, it could have been even more emphatic if it were not for Motherwell & <gulp> Spurs with late late goals taking the cherry off the icing on the cake…

One up on Hira eh, B?!

The Sensational Seven

Assists

B. Anderson (90’+5 pen) – Kilmarnock

D. Ouattara (90’+5) – Bournemouth

B. De Cordova-Reid (90’+1) – Leicester

“Crying”:

A third of the field suffered the ignominy of scoring fifteen points or less this week.

Yeah, it was another one of those weeks…

A dearth of correct scores but only 3 PASers failed to register a correct score.

Of those, two didn’t make double figures.

Pete Clarke & Lee Taylor 9 (0) will surely blame the mulled wine? Is that still a “thing”?!

Correct Score of the Week:

Scant…most popular score was Bournemouth’s late late 1-2 win at Ipswich – 28 of us got that!

Twenty one got Celtic’s 3 goal demolition of Hibs

14 were all over the 0-3 to Rangers

Fourteen more nailed Leicester 2 Brighton 2

7 got West Brom’s “Desmond” with Sheffield United

Bijay L & Luke S turned up Lincoln City 0 Charlton Athletic 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Patricia F & Hira Y said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Crystal Palace 2-2 Man City

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matthew Eadie for his my-brother-Darren-knows-the-VAR-mob-and-this-was-pencilled-in-for-one-all-draw inspired, Fulham 1 Arsenal 1!

Bet of the Week:

Dan C 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?!

It was a no show!

Actually, current form on here is shocking so he probably did us a favour…

So, £3 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on £9.18 – that should get you pint!

Simon Buxton is at 45th this week…

Si, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

Let’s have a good ‘un mate…pretty please?

Table News:

“Golden Age”:

Hira Yonzan remains top, stretching his lead to (an absolutely insurmountable?) 21 points ahead of Ben H who, in turn, is three points ahead of Ryan G in third.

One crashed the Top Ten.

“Wolf Like Me”:

Leo Clarke is still fighting the good fight and is now only 2 points adrift of Stephen P, who, in turn, is 2 points behind Lee T…

“Province”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 26 places is Andy Kelly – honourable mentions go to H Hopper (+24), Matthew E (+19), David G (+18), Simon Lindq (+19), and Bijay L (+25).

“Happy Idiot”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 18 places are Pete Clarke & Matthew Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Dan H (-13), Mark S (-12), Neil O (-11), Nick H (-11), Justin C (-12), Dave C (-12), Matt W (-14) and Roshan T (-13).

Actually Pep, you’re fifth…

“Konichiwa Bitches”:

My word that was a brutal week…not one to miss out on a “big” correct score and certainly not one to follow Mr 2-0 on (and there’s nothing worse than trying your best only to see if hadn’t bothered you’d have got the same score – oh man!)

Only nine PASers scored over 30 points this week – yes, do congratulate yourselves.

Five were in the mix for the £20 weekly prize…

Stefan P, making his full league debut, had a great start, a great finish but nothing in the middle and Rowan M must be regretting missing the first two games – duh!

Jason M put his brother in his place this week only to see Sheff Wed dash his challenge.

Damian H bagged two 94th minute correct scores but gave Ross County one goal’s worth of too much credit against Celtic – oooof!

That left Pete Clarke 38 (4) to clean up with what must surely be the least amount of correct scores to win a week (Dan! Have a root through that dusty weekly score archive cellar and confirm please!).

But what a fab four of correct scores they were – a nine pointer, an eight pointer and a couple of five pointers!

To be fair, it would’ve been more conclusive had those 2 x 94th minute goals not gone in…

Family bragging rights all round again then – bravo Pedro!

The Fortunate Four

Assists

nope – old skool!

“Who’s That Girl?”:

Wowsers – that was painful.

19 players suffered at the hands of another mad of week of scores, scoring no more than fifteen points.

At least we can laugh at the “professional” Predictz though (every cloud…)

Nine didn’t get a correct score and how Sam A managed not to, I’ll never know!

Only one didn’t make double figures though –  limping in last this week is new girl Laura Harrison 8 (0).

It’s not just Citeh having a crisis of confidence then, L?!

Correct Score of the Week:

Ughhh…most popular score was Bromley’s 1-2 FA Cup win at Solihull Moors – 24 of youse got that!

Nineteen had Boro’s 3-1 win over Hull

11 quite rightly predicted Celtic’s 5-0 thrashing of Ross County

Eight were grateful for the 3-1 Stockport win over plucky Brackley in the Cup

6 snaffled up the 5 points served up by Coventry & Cardiff’s 2-2

Paul C, Debbie L & Andy B got Chelsea 3 Villa 0

Danny B & Norman L celebrated the FA Cup bore draw between Burton Albion & Tamworth

Jamie S & David G thrilled at the thrilling Norwich 4 Luton 2

Neil C nabbed the form book upsetting Brighton 1 Southampton 1

Mark S banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Swansea & Pompey

Leo C got the dull-all at Vicarage Road

Pete C doffed a cap to Man Yoo’s 4-0 deconstruction Everton

Martin S made us all green by happening upon Bristol City 4-0 Plymouth Argyle

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Crisp for his Ruud-Van-who? inspired, Brentford 4 Leicester 1!

Bet of the Week:

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

And guess what?!

Oh.

“So…all to have +2.5 goals in the game”

Sheff U v Sunderland – if only that pen had been converted…

Notts Forest v Ipswich – if only you’d correctly called them Nottm…

West Ham v Arsenal – if only we could play them every week!

So, £0 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd leaving it on £0 – one to avoid people!

Dan Clarke & Louis Williams are at 60th this week…Dan was first out the hat –

Mr C, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

Let’s have a good ‘un mate!

It’s Tottenham…

“If You Were There”:

When your luck’s in, yer luck’s in!

There were 9 matches with added-on time goal drama.

Your luck’s in if you max out on 33% of them.

Your luck’s really in if two of those games knock out your nearest rivals for the £20 weekly prize…

Your luck really isn’t in if Willy Gnoto spoils a 3-3 in the 91^st minute and Antoine Semenyo rattles the bar instead of equalising in the 93^rd.

Only a fab four managed to score 30 points or more this week.

Yeah.

That kinda week.

Ben H continues to defy the odds after finishing 93^rd last season & Paul C bagged 95^th & 96^th minute correct scores only to be done over by dirty Leeds…

Damian W pushed all the way with a 93^rd & 94^th minute brace of correct scores, only for ‘Wall to spoil the party against Sunderland in the 93^rd minute.

So that left Tony Morris 35 (6) sitting pretty for the second week running with barely a look back (still not going say it…) to see where his sibling might be.

Congrats T, at least we know who “Noel” is now!

The Swaggering Six

Assists

1. Gray (96′) – Watford
2. Brooks (93′) – Bournemouth
3. Azeez (93′) – Millwall

“This Old Heart Of Mine”:

Get caught short this week?

You did well if you didn’t, it was utter carnage…

Thirty six players scored less than 15 points as the hangover from International Week lingered on.

17 (SEVENTEEN) punters failed to notch a correct score!

Fourteen didn’t make double digits (Mr 2-0 naysayers take note!)

The walk of shame?

That’s with Reagon Karki 6 (0).

Can I suggest the (German) Christmas markets for a steinkrug or six, R?

Correct Score of the Week:

All hail Desmond…most popular score was PNE’s 1-1 draw with Derby – 29 of us got that!

Eight doffed a cap to Arsenal’s 3-0 deconstruction of Nottm Forest

6 got WBA’s “Desmond” with Norwich City

Five nailed Coventry 2 Sheff Utd 2

5 more banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Plymouth & Watford

Four (!) somehow stumbled on Hearts 1 Celtic 4 (how??? The what? 94^th min goal? Oh…)

Mike K, Laura H & Matthew E we’re so happy for Aston Villa 2-2 Palace they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Stuart F & Lily T had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Goodison

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter for his I-love-summer-doing-my-scores-whilst-flippin-prawns-and-necking-Swans inspired, Southampton 2 Liverpool 3!

Bet of the Week:

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

And guess what?!

It could’ve been so good…but, no.

“3 correct scores – high risk, high reward!”

Man Utd to win 1-2 – could’ve

Rangers to win 2-0 – should’ve

QPR to draw 1-1 – was!

So, £0 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £0 – oops!

Emma Tudor is at 83rd this week…

Mizz T, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

We need this! Make it a good ‘un (Everton? Wrexham? Gee-gees?)

Table News:

“It’s Your Thing”:

Hira Yonzan is still at the summit 13 points ahead of Ben “Lazarus” H who, in turn, is three points ahead of Ryan G in third.

Two crashed the Top Ten.

“Behind A Painted Smile”:

Leo Clarke stays rooted in the basement slot 7 points adrift of Stephen P, who, in turn, is 3 points behind Lee T…

International Week is just so boring now…

“Up The Bracket”:

Is there anything better than squaring up & smashing your sibling especially when it’s a bit contentious to boot?

Coming on like the PAS version of Oasis, the “Syndicate” brothers duked it out for the £20 weekly prize in a field that only had ten players scoring 30 points or more.

Chris D and Neil M threatened briefly with a late surge courtesy of a 10 pointer, but then just slid away (Neil is probably regretting missing the first four games too!).

So that left our brothers to sort it.

Jason M could only look back (no, i’m not going to say it…) and feel aggrieved as two added-on time goals denied him the family and PAS bragging rights.

Tony Morris 41 (6) on the other hand, had two added-on time goals to thank for his victory – wonderwallful!

The Surging Six

Assists

N.Nanni (91′ pen) – San Marino

D. Adu-Adjei (92′) – Carlisle Utd

“What A Waster”:

First the good news.

Everyone managed to hit double figures!

And…

Fourteen punters scored 15 points or less.

Nine of those didn’t register a correct score.

Propping up the table this week is new kid on the block, Leo Clarke 11 (0).

Don’t worry Leo, proper football is back now!

Correct Score of the Week:

“This Nations League has ruined everything”…most popular score was Sweden’s 2-1 win over Slovakia – 31 of us got that!

Eight quite rightly predicted Norway’s 5-0 thrashing of Kazakhstan

David G & Norman L just knew Italy would score against France for a 1-3

Ben McK & Chris D thrilled at the thrilling Netherlands 4 Hungary 0

Neil M & Chris D (again!) had Sweden’s merciless 6-0 deconstruction of Azerbaijan

Matthew S had Israel’s 1-0 win over Belgium

Anders H nailed Bosnia 1 Netherlands 1

Danny B saw his typo come good on the game in Liechtenstein v San Marino

Paul F believed in Lee. A 0-3 in Greece kinda belief…

Matt W believed in Lee. A 5-0 over Ireland kinda belief…

Roshan T thanked the Lord for Bryan Zaragoza and his 93rd minute penalty conversion

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Dave Crisp for his I-trust-the-process-and-I-know-Kai-does-too-and-he-knows-Leroy inspired, Germany 7 Bosnia-Herzegovina 0!

Bet of the Week:

Simon B 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?!

We “won” – well done Si!

“Over 2.5 goals

Belgium v Italy – under

Norway v Kazakhstan – over

Czechia v Georgia – over”

So, £1.66 is added to “Bet of the Week” slot 45th taking it to £4.66 – healthy!

Dan Hogwood is at 33rd this week…

Dan, I need your 3 selections by Friday lunchtime, please!

Crunch those stats my son!

Table News:

“Don’t Look Back Into The Sun”:

Hira Yonzan stays top 15 points ahead of Ryan G who, in turn, is five points ahead of Ben H in third.

“I Get Along”:

“What Became Of The Likely Lads”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 22 places is Charlie Harris – dishonourable mentions go to Reagon K (-16), Thomas S (-18), Dom W (-20), and Dan H (-18).
