PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’25 Week 7 round up

Our new Starboy got swag…

 

 

 

Uh Huh Oh Yeh:

Well that was a busy (international) week!

 

I’ll get to it then…

 

A massive 47 PASers scored thirty points or more this week and five of those cracked the 40 point mark.

 

Neil C did that, Howard T missed predicting 8 games but was still only undone by that late late goal Gibraltar on Tuesday, Lee T went closer courtesy of the two games he missed ending up 2-0 (more on that debate later…), and Harry H must be kicking himself as he managed to miss eleven games and still amassed a massive score!

That left Dom Webber 46 (7) out front and centre to collect the £20 weekly prize – very much in debt to Czechia going to the bitter end!

 

Well done Dom, I take it this extends the Geordie party for another week?!

 

The Serious Seven

 

 

Assists

M Merino (90′ + 3) – Spain

D Vlahovic (90) – Serbia

J Kliment (90 + 5) – Czechia

 

 

 

 

 

Hung Up:

Well that was a (international) week!

 

Amazingly, only 4 punters scored less than fifteen points.

And all those four didn’t get a correct score.

But they did all score double figure totals (every cloud…)

 

Simon Buxton 11 (0) finds himself in very unfamiliar surroundings right at the bottom of the pile.

 

Expect Jack B to pile in…

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Two-nil anyone?…most popular score was England’s 3-0 win over Latvia – 29 of us got that!

 

Nineteen just knew Czechia would keep a clean sheet for a o-4 in Gibraltar

16 made us all green by happening upon Belgium 3-0 Ukraine

Thirteen were grateful for the 3-1 Wales win over Kazahkstan

7 we’re so happy for Spain 2-2 Netherlands they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Seven more already had that dress on for the reverse fixture 2-2 of the above

Neil C, Bijay L & Sam W got the dull-all at the County Ground

Simon Linds, Patricia F & Jonathas M somehow stumbled on Portugal 3 Denmark 2 (how????)

Rob L got the 0-1 Scotland win in Greece

Norman L just knew Hungary wouldn’t score against Turkiye for a 0-3

Tony M landed on the two-two in Cumbria on Tuesday night

Justin C said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Bradford 4 Colchester 1

 

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Simon Lindsay for those-little-teams-know-how-to-sort’ve-make-a-game-of-it-now inspired, San Marino 1 Romania 5!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Norman Lee was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

We won! Full house ‘n’ all!
“Home team to win with -1.5 handicaps”
Cyprus vs San Marino
England vs Albania
Wales vs Kazakhstan

So, £6.63 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – whoop whoop!

 

That Med sunshine suits you Norm!

 

Ben McKeown  is at 45th this week….

 

Benny , I need your 3 team trixie by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Hope you’ve sobered up by now….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

Sunflower:

Ben Hogwood moves up one place to hit the summit, eleven points ahead of Nick H who, in turn, is ten points ahead of Pete B in third…

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Broken Stones:

Laura Harrison drops twelve places to the basement slot, 5 points behind Dave N who, in turn, is one point adrift of Matthew M

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out Of The Sinking:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 22 places is Mark J Brown – honourable mentions go to Bijay L (+16), Dom W (+16), Rowan M (+19), Neil C (+20), Justin C (+16), and Lee T (+18).

And Another Thing:

This…
“I want to complain about the laziness of my family members. My brother and father received 2×4 points for failing to enter their scores in time in two matches today.

Meanwhile, hard-working PAS players like myself who correctly predict 2 x 2-0 victories get an equal reward to these part-time players who don’t show sufficient dedication to their predictions.

Is it time to give 0 points to those who show such a lack of commitment?
Is there any chance of points deductions?
I would vehemently hope so.
Some would say I’m bitter. And they would be right.”
Yours
PAS Punter
“Dear PAS Punter,
Thanks for voicing your concerns and the ongoing frustration with Mr 2-0 “disciples”.
Whilst laziness and tardiness are not to be condoned, we have always felt that those who genuinely missed the deadline, should not be harshly punished for NOT READING THEIR F*****G EMAILS!
Mr 2-0 has a worse PAS record than me (which is saying something) and i point you to the current table to allay your fears of punters benefiting from “marginal gains”.
Keep on predicting and the cream will rise to the top.”
Yours sincerely,
El Presidente
“Dear El Presidente
Many thanks for your reassuring words.
I fully appreciate your thoughts.
I will continue to meet deadlines with my own predictions and look forward to being more like cream than gravel.
I will also await the inevitable sports washing of PAS, when a regime will rule which will not stand for such lacklustre performances and will implement such punishments as will see fit…”

Yours
PAS Punter
So the whole Mr 2-0 witch hunt debate rages on (you should see the What’s App group!!) and we’ve listened!
There will be an announcement at the end of the season that we think will put this “issue” to bed once and for all…

Oh, and if you’re doing Sky Super 6 you need to join our league! (No. You really do!)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’25 Week 6 round up

“Slainte!” – Toon PAS on tour

 

 

 

Daniel:

It really was a weekend of surprises eh?!

Five players scored 30 points of more this week but 11 PASers could have won the £20 weekly prize!

Yeah. One of them weeks…

Richard H tricked his way to 4 added-on time assisted correct scores, Danny A got killed by Killy, Jason M was the latest victim of the “Friday Night Curse”, Matt W smashed home a 9 pointer, Jack B must really hate Bruno F, Ben H showed some champion-elect form, Emma T roared back to to the fore with 2 x 5 pointers, and Chris D had a fine finish to a fine Sunday all round for him!

 

But it wasn’t enough.

 

New kid Samir R was right there, but was another one deadened by Kilmarnock.

Greg F landed a couple of late late correct scores only to be undone but the late late goal at Millwall.

 

That left Andy Chesworth 31 (6) out front and clear of the melee behind him!

 

Well done A, you had half your correct scores in by 2pm on Saturday so that wait must have been hellish…and you didn’t put Citeh to win!

 

 

The Securing Six

 

Assists

M Ivanovic (90′ + 4 pen) – Millwall

J O’Brien (90+1) – Everton

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t Go Breaking My Heart:

I think this is some kind of record.

I would ask Dave (Toon) or Dan (Scouse) to check but I think both are still drunk for different reasons…

 

31 punters couldn’t score more than fifteen points this week.

And.

Everyone got a correct score!

And.

Everyone got a double digit return!

 

Scant consolation?

 

Well, not for Rowan Marriott 10 (1) who props up the rest in Week 6.

 

Ha. Ha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Everyone in on the act then…most popular score was Burnley’s 0-2 win at Swansea – 36 of youse got that!

 

Thirteen got Brighton’s “Desmond” at Man City

9 thrilled at the thrilling Liverpool 1 Newcastle 2

Nine more were all over the 0-3 to Man U at Leicester

8 nailed Motherwell 2 St Mirren 2

Bijay L & Greg F got Coventry 3 Sunderland 0

Matt W & Matthew S put us all to shame by predicting Plymouth 2 Derby 3

Predictz banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt QPR & Leeds

Predictz (again!) celebrated the bore draw between St Johnstone & Aberdeen

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Ric Pardoe for his you-should-check-me-out-Super-6-if-you-think-this-is-good inspired, Luton 0 Middlesbro 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Damian Walsh was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 5 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

It was a no-show…

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – taking it to £5.27. We’ll take that…

 

 

Norman Lee is at 60th this week….

 

Mr L , I need your 3 team trixie by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Winner please!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

Rocket Man:

Nick Hogwood is still top of the tree, six points ahead of Ben H who, in turn, is seven points ahead of Jason M in third…

 

 

One(!) crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Tiny Dancer:

Dave Nicklin drops one place to last place (like he cares right now!), two points behind Matthew M who, in turn, is two points adrift of Mr 2-0

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Chris Dixon (more toon joy!)– honourable mentions go to Tony M (+20), Dom W (+16), Greg F (+23), Emma T (+19), and Samir R (+16).

 

 

 

 

I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Reds Blues:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping(?) 17 places are Rowan Marriott, Paul Flaherty, Simon Lindquist & Rob Leland – dishonourable mentions go to Paul H (-12), Jonathas M (-12), Lily T (-11), Patricia F (-11), Ray B (-11), Sean K (-12) and Paul C (-11).

And Another Thing:

Do you like the new colour scheme of the site?!
We thought it fitting that the Geordies get their 15 minutes in the sun after 282 years (plus Dave is from Toon!) and it inspired us to give future L13 winners a bit of an incentive…
If you win the league, you can choose the colour scheme of the site for the following season!
Personally, I hope Ben H wins it this year – just to see the garish yellow & green melt people’s eyes! Or maybe not….
Newbies!
Prep yourselves for next week…
Welcome to International Week!

 

Oh, and if you’re doing Sky Super 6 you need to join our league! (No. You really do!)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’25 Week 5 round up

i went drinking with my mum on her (86th) birthday, and THAT’S why this is late…

 

 

 

Mr Brightside:

Hic!

I’ll cut straight to the chase people…

 

Twenty three punters scored 30 points or more this week.

Paul V went close but it was left to two Man City fans who really “were there” this week.

Andy C had the same pain as me this week (predicting not hangovers) seeing 9 points disappear with late late goals in Brighton & Harrogate.

That left Pete Britton 39 (6) toasting the aforementioned goal at the Amex to take this week’s £20 weekly prize!

 

Well done Pete, not a bad season after all eh?!

 

 

 

The Safe Six

Hearts 3 1 Dundee
Aberdeen 4 1 Queens Park
Brighton 2 1 Fulham
Sheff Utd 1 0 Preston NE
West Brom 1 0 QPR
Wolves 1 1 Everton

Assists

Joao Pedro (90′ + 8) – Brighton

 

 

 

 

 

When You Were Young:

Only five players scored no more than 15 points this week.

5 got no correct scores (Justin C & Rob C must be wincing)

Everyone got a double digit total!

Bottom this week?

Little Leo Clarke 11 (1) trailed home last.

Bless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I have no idea…most popular score was Bolton’s 1-2 win at Burton – 31 of youse got that!

 

 

Twenty-one landed on the two-two in north London on Sunday. The wrong side of north London…

18 nailed Hearts 3 Dundee 1

Seven thrilled at the thrilling Aberdeen 4 Queens Park 1

4 made us all green by happening upon Burnley 4-0 Luton

Debbie L, Harry H & Laura H snaffled up the 5 points served up by Liverpool & Southampton

Greg F nabbed the form book upsetting Portsmouth 1 Leeds 0

Debbie L (again!) put us all to shame by predicting Chelsea 1 Leicester City 0

Sam W decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Stockport v Charlton. And he did…

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Ben McKeown for his it’s-a-game-so-far-away-from-anywhere-they-deserve-to-lose inspired, Plymouth Argyle 0 Sheffield Wednesday 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dickie Holloway was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 4 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

It was justified!

“Trixie bet is: KLF”

Kelty Hearts – draw – yes!

Livingston – draw – no!

Falkirk – win – yes!

That’s the type of bet we like – bravo Ricardo!

So, £3.53 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – we might get enough for an ice cream (van) on here!

 

 

Damian Walsh is at 83rd this week….

 

Mr W, I need your 3 team trixie by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Tough act to follow unless you make a million quid we can then burn…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

Smile Like You Mean It:

Nick Hogwood stays top, nine points ahead of Ben H who, in turn, is four points ahead of Pete B in third…

 

 

One(!) crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Human:

Howard Thomas remains rooted to the bottom, two points behind Dave N who, in turn, is two points adrift of Matthew M

 

 

 

 

 

 

All These Things That I’ve Done:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Andy Chesworth – honourable mentions go to George T (+21), Lily T (+22), Ric P (+22), Olly O (+22), Rich L (+20) and Predictz (+20).

 

 

 

 

Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 27 places is Leo Clarke – dishonourable mentions go to Julian F (-20), Norman L (-21), and Ciaran N (-20).

And Another Thing:

“So it seems to me Predict-a-Score questions Arteta’s career limiting assumption that predicting football scores is not only possible, but an essential component of fan power.
And then he comes over all Trumpian, and threatens the integrity of our leader.
What next?
We need a united and collective response!
It might be easier for him to see the light, if for instance, he played with a front man…”  – Kate Slee’s “management” team call our Mikel

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’25 Week 4 round up

One thing you ain’t winning Arne…

 

 

 

This Is The Day:

So, who cannot wait til we get rid of VAR/incompetent refs?

We’ll come back to that…

A pretty fruitful week for about quarter of the league as twenty four of you amassed 30 points or more.

Frankie F actually did her own scores and got amongst it, further compounding my Weston of a week – we’ll come back to that…

Two punters went beyond the forty point mark and went neck & neck to line for the £20 weekly prize!

Both returned an impressive haul of 8 correct scores and the deciding factor was literally Peter M having faith in a Watford win – they didn’t.

That left Ben Hogwood 43 (8) out up front scooping up another Hogwood clan weekly win…

 

Tell me though B, is this accolade soured by the fact a 96th minute equaliser against your team did a lot of heavy lifting in this victory?!

 

The “Yes,mate! Eight

Crystal Palace 3 1 Millwall
Blackburn 1 1 Norwich
Salford City 1 2 Bradford
QPR 1 2 Sheff Utd
Harrogate Town 2 1 Accrington
Dundee 1 1 St Johnstone
Hibs 2 1 Hearts
Man Utd 1 1 Fulham

 

Assists

A Weimann (90′ + 6) – Blackburn

 

 

 

 

 

Infected:

One man’s forty-tude is another’s, erm, faintheartedness?

 

Nearly a quarter of the league (yep, you lot. Yes, you 22 cowering in the corner with me!) couldn’t even manage more than fifteen points this week!.

Seven of us couldn’t even muster a correct score between us.

Luckily for me, I ordered Dave Nicklin 10 (0) to fall on his sword to spare my blushes.

 

Sometimes this job has it perks. Sometimes…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I’m staying out of this…most popular score was Sunderland’s 1-2 win at Sheff Wednesday – 39 of youse got that!

 

 

Eighteen revelled in the 3-1 schadenfreude of JPM at Selhurst Park

9 nabbed the form book upsetting Man City 3 Plymouth 1

Eight nailed Aberdeen 2 Dundee Utd 2

7 got 3 goal demolition of Newport by Doncaster

Four decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards on Stoke v Watford 0-0. And they did…

Norman L made us all green by happening upon Ipswich’s 1-1 draw at Forest

Leo C saw his typo come good on the game at Ibrox

Debbie L banked the five points on offer for the 0-0 betwixt Wrexham & Bolton

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Debbie Lee (again!) for her I-love-Fat-Frank-and-he-loves-me inspired, Oxford United 2 Coventry City 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

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

 

And guess what?!

“ALL HOOP VICTORIES”

QPR to beat Sheff Utd – uh oh
Hamilton Academicals to beat Falkirk – oh no (a 91st minute equaliser!)
Alloa Athletic beat Cove Rangers – oh yeah

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – unlucky that!

 

 

Dickie Holloway is at 33rd this week….

 

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

 

 

 

Can you do what the Saints have only managed once at home this season?

 

Course you can!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

Perfect:

It’s a family affair…Nick Hogwood stays top, joined by bruv Ben H who, in turn, are fifteen points ahead of Simon B in third…

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Uncertain Smile:

Howard Thomas remains rooted to the bottom, now only one correct score behind Dave N who, in turn, is two points adrift of Matthew M

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heartland:

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’25 Week 3 round up

Football?! Nah mate, it’s rugby season…

 

 

 

Superstylin’:

It was a lively Week 3 right up to late on Monday night.

A tightly contested field was bunched together as 19 punters reached & breached the 30 point mark.

But only 4 could have won it, tbh…

Darren McC was right up there courtesy of a 10 pointer & an eight pointer, Lily T was back to her best not not quite “best” enough and Simon B was right there with help from Millwall’s 95th minute winner and the 101st minute goal at the Hawthorns!

 

Then came the late late goal-fest in south Yorkshire…

 

That 91st minute 3rd goal for Leeds really did rob Simon as his correct score disappeared and kept Kate Slee 38 (7) on top after a very nervy wait!

A very Happy Monday for Mrs S collecting the weekly £20 prize.

 

Well done Peter Kate – a sliver of a silver lining for one Gooner at least this week…

 

 

The Satisfying Seven

 

Assists

J Coburn (90′ + 5) – Millwall

O Dabbagh (90′ + 1) – Aberdeen

 

 

 

 

Save My Soul:

Oooof!

 

A mere 4% of the runners and riders failed to notch up any more than fifteen points this week.

Four of those suffered the ignominy of collecting zero correct scores…but please spare a thought for Sam W, poor lad.

 

Feeling the pain particularly pressing with a single figure return?

Alan Clarke 6 (0)

 

Good luck at the family dinner A!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse…most popular score was Heart of Midlothian’s 1-2 win at St Johnstone – 34 of us got that!

 

Seven got Everton’s “Desmond” with Man Yoo

4 said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Ross Co 3 Dundee 1

Lily T, Emma T & Anthony R (welcome!) were well away with the 1-3 away win for Leeds

Stephen P, Darren McC & David G just knew Brighton would keep a clean sheet for a o-4 at Southampton

Darren McC (again!) & Rob C lapped up the injury time joy of Norwich 4 Stoke 2

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to ………no-one-had-a-unique-correct-score-which-is-rare!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Olly Osmond was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

“For this week’s bet I’m going for 3 seaside wins”
Bournemouth – more like Blackpool…
Brighton – blue flag!
Plymouth – docked…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – boooo!

 

 

Andy Kelly & newbie Seb De Sousa are at 45th this week….first out the hat was Andy!

 

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

 

 

 

Can you get us back to winning ways?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

 

Love Sweet Sound:

Nick Hogwood stays top, 7 points ahead of Paul V who, in turn, is four points ahead of Ben H in third…

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

I See You Baby:

All change at the bottom, Howard Thomas slides 4 places to the bottom, ten points behind Matthew M who, in turn, is one point adrift of Mike K

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’25 Week 2 round up

A “Wolf Fox in the Box” in sheep’s clothing…

 

 

 

Photoshop Handsome:

If you felt like you had a good chance of winning this week, ummmm, you probably thought wrong!

It was a kinda condensed week with an impressive twenty-three players scoring over 30 points AND 1 punter scoring over forty points… and they were very much on the mark!

And all vying for the £20 prize right to the end…

New kid in town, Seb De S smashed in a couple of 5 pointers and our man in Scandinavia, Anders H, upped the ante notching 3 x five pointers.

Paul V was looking good with 20 points from 4 games (with some added-on time assists to boot) whilst Jonathas M didn’t need any on them fancy scores, instead reaping rewards from goals beyond the 90 minute mark to go close!

Still with us…

Good.

 

Paul & Jonathas were ultimately undone by placing their faith in Man Yoo and Paliss respectively…

 

So that left Elliot Davy 41 (8) a good way in front – nicely cemented by Leeds 95th minute winner in the 30th game to get him safely over the line.

 

Now there’s something to phone home about E! Congrats!

 

The Yes, Mate! Eight

Assists

Y Salech (90′) – Cardiff City

P Struijk (90′ + 5) – Leeds Utd

 

 

 

 

Regret:

Meanwhile…

 

Fourteen poor souls scored 15 points or less at the other end.

3 didn’t register a correct score.

Only one didn’t make double digits…

 

Rob Currin 8 (0) must be feeling a bit “ouch” right now…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Why can’t games end on 90 minutes anymore…most popular score was Cardiff’s 1-1 Severnside derby draw with Bristol City – 31 of youse got that!

 

Twenty eight were all over the 1-3 to the Cherries at Southampton

26 doffed a cap to Celtic’s 3-0 deconstruction of Dundee Utd

17 got the 1-3 Rangers win at Hearts

Nine had Kilmarnock’s 3-1 win over St Johnstone

7 were grateful for the 3-1 Bristol Rovers win versus Burton Albion

Four celebrated the bore draw between PNE & Burnley

Paul F & Leo C turned up St Mirren 0 Hibs 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Sam A & Leo C (again!) had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Rodney Parade

Sam W thanked the Lord for James Maddison

Chris D just knew Watford would score against Boro for a 0-1

Patricia F got the very annoying 96th minute spoiling Oxford 0 Pompey 2

Leo C (again! again!) believed in Brentford. A 0-1 kinda belief…

 

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Laura Harrison for her I-knew-that-The-Superhoops-would-come-good-eventually-this-season inspired, QPR 4 Derby County 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Li’l Leo Clarke 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?!

We wonnnnnnnnnnnn! (kinda)

“BTTS in the following games, my dad definitely DID NOT help me with these…”

Brighton & Hove Albion v Chelsea – three goals but none from them lot…
Cardiff City v Bristol City – near enough everyone in PAS knew this would happen – tick!
Hull City v Norwich City – everyone scores against Norwich, don’t they! Tick!

 

A fine start – bravo Leo!

So, £2.27 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – yay!

 

 

Alan Clarke, My Mum, Sam Webber & Olly Osmond are at 60th this week….Olly was first out the hat, so…

 

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

 

Can you go one better this week?

 

I hope so…

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’25 Week 1 round up

 The *$%**%! magic of the Cup!

 

 

Skylarkin’:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Vinicius Jr – PAS!

Although, given the sharpness of this update, I could’ve waxed lyrical about “as we haven’t signed anyone, imagine if Havertz gets injured, we’re f-“, how karma works (something about humble mumbling…) and gone into the absurdness (and utter delight) of the absence of that unnecessary thing called VAR in the Cup…

 

But I won’t.

 

I’ll cut to the chase as it was all about the “hot out the blocks” points trailblazers – and, they deserve props, right?

 

Two PASers were 3 x flame emojis this weekend reaching the heady heights of 50 points.

Imagine?!!

 

Bijay L eschewed the clutches of last season’s bout of Woodenspoonitis & put up a good fight. A really good fight!

However, he was ultimately undone by a couple of added-on time goals.

Boooo. And, indeed, hisssss…

 

Nick Hogwood 52 (8) bagged a load of correct scores including 2 x big bonus pointers to power to victory (actually, he’s definitely indebted to that madness at The Hawthorns…).

Big up!

 

Anyone else close?

 

Nine punters ended up hitting the hallowed 40 point marker (and beyond) but a reward wasn’t forthcoming – sometimes football can be a cruel mistress…

 

So, congrats Mr H, the second season on the trot the £20 is winging its way back to you in Week 1 – everything else is a bonus for you once again this season!

 

The Grrreat Eight

 

Assists

H Maguire (90’+3) – Man Utd

C Paterson (90’+3) / J Molumby (90+6) – Sheff Wed / WBA

D Keillor-Dunn (90′) – Barnsley

 

 

 

 

Bless You:

Did you score 30 points + this week? Wow, we’re great aren’t we…!

 

Forty one (!) of us managed that, but 9 punters couldn’t manage any more than 15 points this week  – and 10 players couldn’t muster a correct score!

Shocking.

Not as shocking as that game in Devon though, eh?

 

Anyway…

Everyone managed to break into double digits – but feeling no joy in Week 1 is Will Oppong 12 (0).

 

Willo, you spared Mr 2-0’s blushes – you’re too kind young man!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Really?!…most popular score was Celtic’s 5-0 win over Raith Rovers – 41(!!) of youse got that!

 

Nineteen got Aberdeen 3 Dunfermline 0

9 had Dundee’s merciless deconstruction of Airdrieonians

4 celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 2-3 at St Andrew’s

Bijay L got the dull-all at Deepdale

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Alan Clarke for his they-don’t-call-me-Sniffer-for-nothing-look-what-I-unearthed inspired, Coventry 1 Ipswich 4!

 

 

 

 

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, Leo Clarke is first up.

Leo, I need your 3 selections by Friday please (ask your dad if you’re allowed to get involved in betting first though mate!) ! It can be homes, aways or draws. Or a mix of all three. It doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or rugby! 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 young man…

 

 

 

 

Table News:

It’s Week 1 – it is what it is! Click here for the full table

Please be aware we lost a few players but we can still gain some more…and we’ve done well so far this season!

So, if you know anyone out there who wants to get involved, put them in touch.

It’s never too late…they’ll get a, ahem, “respectable” Mr 2-0 13pts for Week 1 to boot!

Select PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’24 final table round up

“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…

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’24 Week 13 round up

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”

Villa – oh yes!
Palace – if only you believed in Jesus…
Bournemouth – smashed in!
That’s the type of trixie we’re looking for – bravo D!

So, £10.40 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £10.40 – it’s a Christmas miracle!

 

 

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!

And Another Thing:

Thankyou for taking part in another fab season – we couldn’t do it without you!

Please come back soon.

Very soon!

 

Actually, it will be early February – but fear not! You’ll be getting a constant stream of reminders…

 

Oh, and don’t forget to  bring some friends along in 2025…

 

 

Special thanks to Dan & Dave once again for all their tireless work behind the scenes – they’ve really earned their sub-minimum wage salaries lately…

Merry Christmas!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’24 Week 12 round up

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).
