PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’18 Week 6 round up

 

Nuffin…

 

Get My Bang: It’s rare i’m stuck for something to say about a week in PAS but this week really was “meh”…only half a dozen managed 30 points or more, the winner didn’t “steal in” or “get lucky” with a last minute goal and erm, that was it. Ho hum…

So, well done Justin Corliss 35 (6) – a debut boy made good after a disastrous Week 1 – the polar opposite of me in fact!

 

 

 

Albatross: “Neil! Neil!” Not orange peel though. Templeton & Critchlow. Both scored 11 points this week, when only 7 scored sub 15 points.

Baddest this week was Stuart Fitzsimon 10 (0). Really, really bad…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I swear you’re all guessing…most popular score was Shrewsbury’s 1-2 win at with Scunthorpe – 25 of us got that! Yes, even me!

Ten just knew Grimsby would score against Lincoln for a 3-1

5 obviously guessed Wolves would beat Burton 3-1

Five more were all over the FA Cup 0-3 to Spurs

Patricia F, Andy K & Paul C nabbed the five point  Ross County v Hamilton 2-2

Stephen P, Norman L & Rowan M believed in Norwich. A 3-2 kinda belief…

Will O, David G & Dan H got an International Week-esque Liverpool 5 Watford 0

Jamie S & Mark J B got Hearts’ 3 goal demolition of Partick

Richard Hi got the dull-all at Bramall Lane

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Justin Corliss for his I-knew-that-winning-streak-would-end inspired, Fulham 2 QPR 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

 

And guess what?!

 

This is getting ridiculous now…

 

48.68% Derby V Cardiff – welllll, technically we didn’t get it wrong…

44.74% Huddersfield V C Palace – well done Rwoy!

40.79% Stoke V Everton – you’re having a Turkish!

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – arrrgggghhhhhhh!

 

 

Table News:

Hooting & Howling:

Rowan Marriott goes up 3 places to the top 7 points ahead of Justin C who, in turn, is one correct score ahead of Simon B in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

Treacle TIn”: 

Daniel Vinson sticks to the bottom now ten points behind Olly O who, in turn, is 1 point off Lee F…

 

 

Sweet Spot”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places, is David Goggin – honourable mentions go to Sam C (+28), John K (+23), Mike K (+19) and Justin C (+17)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’18 Week 5 round up

Dunno what all the fuss is about…Scousers, innit!

 

Golden Brown: So, how did you do this week, eh?

Bet you thought you were the dogs getting over 30 points yeah?

Well, 27 punters managed that this week and three got to the stratospheric heights of 40 points plus!

Tony F redeemed himself with a proper good 41 points and Norman L had a return to form too with the same score.

Joint winners surely…

Sometimes (only sometimes) it’s good to see a genuine slip of the mind get rewarded.

Kyle Beale 43 (8) was obviously too busy on Friday night to get his prediction in on time, but ultimately, it was that 2-0 that won him the £20 weekly prize!

Awwwwww, sweet.

Well done Kyle, cherish the win cos next time East End soap and/or miniature Aussie pop star analogies will not be kept back!

 

 

 

(Get A) Grip (On Yourself): Scoring 20 points in a week isn’t that bad is it!

Not usually. I remember the halcyon days when an average of 21 points won you a Top Ten slot, oh how I wish….

Anyway.

This week it proved a little bit dreadful as the show offs showed off their correct scores to the dirty dozen who scored less than twenty.

High flying Dan H only got (gasp) fifteen!

Paul C only got thirteen (oooof!)

Bringing up the rear though this week was new kid on the block Daniel Vinson 12 (0)

Welcome to the big boys league Danny boy!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

And I thought it was a correct score-free week…most popular score was Fulham’s 1-2 win at Preston – 30 of youse got that!

18 got the 3-1 Boro win over The Tykes

Fourteen got the 3 goal demolition of Watford

10 landed the five point Reading v Leeds 2-2

Nine (!) got the thrilling Rangers 2 Celtic 3

5 got the dull-all at the Kirklees

Martin S, Savan A & Justin C got Ipswich 0 Sheff U 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Pete B, Paul S & Mike K got the very annoying last minute spoiling Bournemouth 1 Spurs 4

Debbie L got the bore draw between Burton & Bristol City

Predictz made us all green by happening upon Newcastle 3-0 Southampton

Norman L obviously guessed Kilmarnock would beat Ross County 3-2

Richard Hu saw his typo come good on the game at Kilmarnock

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Richard Hughes (again!) for his if-you-make-them-up-they-will-happen inspired, WBA 1 Leicester City 4!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

And guess what?!

 

Yep….

 

53.49% Hull V Norwich – there was time for a 4-4…

48.84% Aston Villa V Wolves – blimey!

43.02% Man U V Liverpool – just one of those penalty claims…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – this is looking bleak!

 

 

Table News:

Nice ‘n’ Sleazy:

Jason Morris shoots up 4 places to top spot 2 points ahead of Simon B who, in turn, is one point ahead of Dan H in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

Something Better Change”: 

Daniel Vinson slips 3 places to the anchor slot four points behind Paul C who, in turn, is 5 points off Olly O…

 

 

Peaches”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 33 places, is Kyle Beale – honourable mentions go to Richard Hu (+27), Norman L (+26), Jack B (+25) and Paul S (+25)

 

No More Heroes: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 33 places, is Shezan Juma – dishonourable mentions go to Gary B (-21), Julian F (-21) and Andy K (-21)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’18 Week 4 round up

Call it off Arsene…

 

For The First Time In Forever:

So, the “Beast From T’East” really put pay to the fixture list this weekend, and boy, did some of us suffer! What? Eh? Oh…

I’ll start again.

In a week that saw only 9 games postponed, 25 players managed to score 20 points or more!

Three of them even topped 30 points.

Very impressive stuff.

Julian F was the early pacesetter only to see Clare T sitting pretty on a massive thirty-four points with one game to go.

But, with literally one minute to go in said match, Clare’s faves cruelly snatched her moment from her grasp and put it snug in another Red’s mitt.

Yep, Martin Stafford 38 (6) must have been happier than a Spurs fan this week as his ridiculous Monday night prediction landed just in the nick of time!

£20 then to you Mr S, well done sir – should keep you in pies for a while eh?!

 

 

Frozen Heart:

“Beast From The East”? Snowmaggedon? Pah! PAS prevailed and then some! What? Eh? Oh…

I’ll start again.

In a week that saw 9 whole games postponed, 29 players couldn’t even manage to score 15 points!

Three of them couldn’t even top ten points.

Cold.

Paul C & high flying Stephen P scraped a frosty 8 points.

That left Tony Fisher 6 (0) frozen in last place.

Brrrrrrrrrrr…..

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow…most popular score was Watford’s 1-0 win over WBA– 15 of youse got that!

Fourteen got Celtic’s 3-0 deconstruction of Greenock Morton

10 got Rangers’ 4-1 win over Falkirk

8(!) just knew Arsenal would score against Brighton for a 2-1

Seven got the dull-all at St Mary’s

4 got the 1-3 Preston win over Bolton

Martin S & John J somehow guessed Palace 2 Man U 3 (how?????)

Brett A got City’s 1-0 thrashing of Chelsea

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Julian Fernandez for his Friday-night-flyer inspired, Middlesbro 3 Leeds 0!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

And guess what?!

 

Wipeout!

 

45% Bolton  V PNE – looked good for 77 minutes…

43.75% Motherwell V Hearts – looked good for 85 minutes…

43.75% Derby V Fulham – didn’t look good from 22 minutes…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th – a clean sweep then!

 

 

Table News:

In Summer:

Dan Hogwood stays top now 12 points ahead of Rowan M who, in turn, is one point ahead of Clare T in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

Reindeers Are Better Than People”: 

Tony Fisher slips one place to the basement ten points behind Paul S who, in turn, is 1 correct score off Mike K…

 

 

Fixer Upper”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 57 places, is Martin Stafford – honourable mentions go to Julian F (+41), Frankie F (+29), Matt W (+24), Neil T (+20) and Danny A (+20)

 

Let It Go: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 23 places, is Andy Smith – dishonourable mentions go to Pete B (-21), Ben H (-17), Mark J B (-17), Brett A (-17) and Mark S (-15)

PAS Champions League 2017/18 Knockout Stages:

Last 16 2nd leg games were meant to kick off in Week 4, but the adverse weather conditions meant we didn’t have 30 games to predict.

So, we’ve moved it to Week 5 instead.

We’re nice like that…

We like to make sure you’re paying attention…  ;  )

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’18 Week 2 round up

Anders H – breaking Brit Curling hearts…

 

My Philosophy: So that’s me put firmly in my place this week…

But before you mock, only 9 people scored 30 points or more in Week 2 – so there!

Justin C produced an inspired performance (39 pts) after his horror debut last week and Dan H celebrated receiving his wooden spoon this week but notching up a very creditable 42 points.

So, don’t give up kids, all the high scorers will mess up sooner or later…!

After smashing in 9 points from 2 of the last 3 games this week, Simon Buxton 47 (8) romped away with the £20 prize and matched my “top score” to boot – not fair!

But well played Mr B.

 

 

The Bridge Is Over: Gawd! Can you imagine being a former European champion that’s now rubbish?

No, not Forest.

Try Gareth Morgan 7 (0)

Our serial CL botherer spared the blushes of Rich L, Mike K and Bijay L who also managed a sub double-digit score!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

And bang! Back down to earth…most popular score was Norfolk’s 1-1 draw with Suffolk  – 22 of youse got that!

19 got the 3-1 Seagulls win over Coventry

15 got the thrilling Chelsea 4 Hull City 0

8 got Leeds Utd’s “Desmond” with Bristol City

7 got the dull-all at the Pirelli Stadium

Sam A, Neil O & Norman L obviously guessed Southend would beat Pompey 3-1

Julian F & Debbie L got the bore draw between Newport & Notts Co

Danny A got Shrewsbury 0 Rotherham 1

Mark J B believed in Leicester. A 1-0 kinda belief…

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season (probably ever!), goes to Clare Templeton for her there’s-a-new-David-Healy-in-town inspired, Wigan 1 Man City 0Flame on!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

And guess what?!

We lost! Not the most auspicious of starts then eh?

 

48.81% Norwich V Ipswich – tick

47.62% Fulham V Villa – cross

47.62% Birmingham V Millwall – crosser…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd –   : (

 

 

Table News:

Step Into A WorldDan Hogwood moves up 7 places to go 8 points ahead of Stephen P who in turn is two points ahead of Simon Lq in third.

 

Loads crashed the Top Ten.

 

Criminal Minded”:  Ooops! Mike Krasnowski goes down nine places to the bottom of the pile one point behind Rich W who in turn is 2 points off James C…

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’18 Week 3 round up

“Granit Xhaka would be an odd presence in any Premier League midfield, a paradox of a player who can look absolutely miles off the pace one moment and only a few miles off the pace the next. What is he doing playing for the seventh richest club in the world?” – Barney Ronay, he knows y’know…

 

White Love: I for one got proper found out for a 2nd week in a row (and that ref who helped me in Week 1 scuppered me this week!).

And I wasn’t alone – only 7 players managed 30 points or more this week!

Gary B did his best to finally win a week after 20 odd years of trying with 2 (count ’em!) 10 point predictions, dark horse Rowan M continued his fine form of late too – only for an 82nd minute Cardiff winner to hand James Challinor 39 (6) the £20 prize money!

Well done James, that’s worth a tweet eh?!

 

 

Breakdown: Were you one of the 40 who couldn’t muster up twenty points this week?

Brutal eh?!

Too many bad eggs to mention but Tony F 9 (0) and Paul H 10 (0) were particularly rotten.

However, Norman Lee 8 (0)  got properly scrambled…

Face. His. On. etc etc

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Would you Adam & Believe it…most popular score was Burton’s 1-1 draw with Millwall  – 17 of youse got that!

13 got the five point  Bournemouth 2-2 Newcastle Utd

Twelve just knew West Ham would score against Liverpool for a 4-1

4 nailed Kilmarnock 2 Hibs 2

Clare T & Chris D got the 3 goal demolition of poor, disgraceful, exasperating Arsenal

Neil C got the dull-all at Carrow Road

James C got the thrilling Sunderland 3 Middlesbro 3

Gary B made us all green by happening upon Sheff Wed 2-4 Aston Villa

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Gary Blackburne (again!) for his I-threw-a-dice-for-my-scores inspired, Reading 3 Derby 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

And guess what?!

We lost! Again! Darn!

 

58.14% Man Utd  V Chelsea – damn that Romelu

46.51% Brighton V Swansea – Eh?!!

46.51% Bournemouth V Newcastle – that’s more like it!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’18 Week 1 round up

You don’t want this…

 

Lucid:  Do you remember Nottm Forest ending half of one season unbeaten and then carrying on the next to rack up a total of 42 matches?

Well, don me in a green sweatshirt and call me “yung man”!

I had a proper rant & character assassination lined up for the now departed Theo Walcott…

But y’know what?

I’m better than that!

Yep – off the consolation Week 13 win last season, somehow, i’ve recorded back-to-back PAS weekly wins!

“Pab 47 (8)”

Luvvin’ that.

And for once, a last minute game changing incident went my way to earn me my £20 prize.

So thankyou Charlie Adam for your penalty kick howler.

Or rather, thank you Bobby Madley for not awarding Stoke another penalty straight after…

Spare a thought for Darren McC 43 (7) & Simon Lq (née Lindq) 45 (7)

Scandalous, innit!

 

 

Keep Walking: What a start to the season.

In a week where 13 people scored more than 35 points, fourteen more couldn’t even manage twenty!

Newcomer Justin C had a debut to unremember with 15 points and IACGMOOH’s Chris D could only muster fourteen…

But propping up the rest in Week 1 is Joe Massey 13 (1)

Now that really is a scandal…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Is it gonna be one of those season’s again?…most popular score was Barnsley’s 1-1 draw with Wednesday – 33 of youse got that!

21  got the five-point 3-0 between Chelsea & WBA

N-n-n-nineteen got the 3 goal demolition of Brora Rangers (by Kilmarnock)

8 nailed Greenock Morton 3 Dumbarton 0

Six smashed in a 3-0 via Hearts hosting St Johnstone

4 pulled a plum with Everton 3-1 C Palace

Tony F (welcome!) obviously guessed Hull City would win 0-2 at Forest

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and obv best correct score of the season, goes to Will Oppong for his i’m-the-real-deal-recruiter-for-PAS inspired, Aberdeen 4 Dundee United 2! Big up!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost! About par for the course for us…

 

56.25% Barnsley V Sheff Wed – spot on people!

46.25% Swansea V Burnley – be funny if Burnley went down now…

37.50% Spurs V Arsenal – Teeth. Wailing. Gnashing etc etc

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’17 Week 1 round up

 “Yep, as impressive as my score this week…”

Magpie Eyes: I did my scores from NYC this week & even going back in time couldn’t halt my demise. I blame it on that confusion. And Americans with guns. And Duane Reade. And the full length of Broadway. And Coors Light. And the 90-degree heat. And Guinness. And “Farmer Boy” breakfasts. And the tourists surrounding the “Bull”. And American football. And Tibetan monks in Central Park.

I don’t blame Williamsburg though – I was on Modelo there…

Anyway, one person quite clearly not in the US of A this weekend was me ol’ China Matt Worsfold 35 (5) who deftly picked debutant child prodigy Tyler G’s pocket just like the Fagin-schooled Eastender that he is –  cor blimey guv’nor!

Poor Tyler (he’s of south London stock, he’ll bounce back) has Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko to growl at for denying him a weekly win courtesy of his 91st minute goal in Huddersfield. The irony of Spurs helping out a ‘Appy ‘Ammer ain’t lost on me, nor Mr W I’m sure…

So, congrats Maffew, £20 winging it’s way back to you ASAP – should secure you a Championship season ticket for next season mate…*cheeky tongue out emoji*

Dive: Did you score 16 points + this week? Wow, I’m in awe…

33 of us couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week and sixteen of us couldn’t muster a correct score between us! Shocking.

Not as shocking as Everton though eh? The team I backed to be top at Christmas (yeah, I have a real instinct about the Premier League) appear to be trying their best to make sure Yannick Bolasie doesn’t miss being at Palace.

One Toffee feeling it more than most though is Andy Fowler 8 (0) who couldn’t even breach the double-digit mark – come ‘ead Andy lad, did you put in too many number 10s like Ronald??!

Correct Score of the Week:

It’s gonna be one of those season’s again…most popular score was Man Yoo’s 4-0 drubbing of Palace – 23 of youse got that!

8  got the five-point 3-0 between Aberdeen & St Johnstone

5 got the dull-all Grimsby v Lincoln

4 got very very annoying but patently obvious Huddersfield 0 Spurs 4

Darren McC (welcome back!), Paul C & Tony D got the 3 goal demolition of Partick (by Motherwell)

Alex R & Debbie L got the bore draw between Cardiff & Derby

Neil T & Martin S nailed Bournemouth 0 Leicester 0

Bill P pulled a plum with Everton 0-1 Burnley

Danny A just knew Man City would score at Chelsea

Sam Craig obviously guessed Ross County would win 0-2 at Kilmarnock

Neil O got the first “Desmond” of the season – PNE v Sunderland

Neil T got the 2nd “Desmond” of the season – WBA v Watford

Howard T smashed in a 0-4 via Burton hosting Wolves

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Patricia Fernandez for her i’m-the-real-one-not-the-Corrie-one inspired, Celtic 2 Hibs 2! Slainte!

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

I couldn’t get a bet on cos i was in New York – soz!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’17 Week 13 round up

  
No, not them…

Life In Tokyo”: 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?

I don’t care – I wooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss!

Sorry. It doesn’t happen very often, I forget how to celebrate… *wheels off doing the Mick Channon windmill arm *

So, as Harry M netted in the 94th minute v Man Yoo to deny me 4 points AND Stoke’s youngest ever PL scorer denying me another 3 points in the 95th minute, I was ready for a proper good sulk.

But the miracle of Christmas left Stephen P, Jerry S & Andy K all 1 point behind me and the last weekly “Patrick” was mine! Mine!!!

Pab 38 (6)

Ding dong (merrily on high)!

I’d like to thank Gary Bowyer for instilling the hunger & desire in his Blackpool team to keep going until the very last kick….

Here’s the science bit – 15 of us managed 30 points or more.

Merry Christmas!

 

 

Quiet Life”: It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute shopping to be done. Why bother doing your scores?

Paul C & Danny B are wondering just that in a week where 28 bods only managed 15 points or less.

Someone who really didn’t have a Danny this week was Danny Ashworth 9 (0) – and if you’ve seen his Sky Super 6 performance this season you’ll be as baffled as him!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Some crackers here…most popular score was Man City’s 4-0 title winning win v Bournemouth– 27 of youse got that!

Eleven got very annoying last minute spoiling Leicester 2 Man Utd 2

7 got Celtic’s 3-0 deconstruction of The Dons

Seven more got the five point Aston Villa v Sheffield United 2-2

6 got the dull-all at McDiarmid Park

Five got Derby 3 Millwall 0

Will O, Sam A & Kyle B got the bore draw between Newport & Lincoln

Paul V & Ryan G believed in Kilmarnock. A 2-1 kinda belief…

Predictz somehow guessed Everton 0 Chelsea 0

Stephen P got the thrilling West Ham 2 Newcastle Utd 3

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and now best correct score of the season, goes to George Triantafillou for his I-couldn’t-let-a-kid-take-this-accolade inspired, Arsenal 3 Liverpool 3!

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 97 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Bah humbug!

 

Sheff Wed v Boro (54.93%) – adios Carlos!

Stoke v WBA (46.48%) – adios Super Al…

Brighton v Watford (39.44%) – adios Marco?

 

So, £7.55 sits on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th!

 

 

Table News:

The Art Of Parties”: Two crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 26 places is Darren McCarthy – honourable mentions go to Andy K (+25), Jerry S (+24), Stephen P (+22), Ryan G (+22), Neil O (+19), Savan A (+19) and Ben McK (+18)

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’17 Week 12 round up

Rockin’…

The Bomb”: So that old adage, “pride comes before a fall”? Yep, I can vouch for that folks. I got all giddy in the rarified heights and instead of just quietly going about my business I had to go and get all cocky…(sob)

Anyway, only 6 of you managed 30 points or more this week (still doesn’t make me feel better) and David G on 36 points was sitting pretty especially as his nearest rival didn’t put scores in after Saturday evening!

Well, Mark J Brown 36 (5) has that freak Celtic defeat to thank, as it drew him level with Mr G but with one more correct score!

A goal from Bournemouth would’ve changed it all, and a goal from Swansea ended it all as our Toffee exiled in UAE snaffled up the “Melba” on offer for Week 12.

Smooth moves MJB! You had it all planned right?!

 

 

Jerk Me”: Mr 2-0 had his traditional seasonal end-of-season following in full effect this week as bloomin’ loads of you lapped up the 28 points posted – who said laziness was to be frowned upon?

Forty two punters were kicking themselves (i’m inconsolable now…) as they got 20 points or less this week – Chris D, Arthur H & Dan P didn’t even get a correct score though. Bah!

But the pudding this week was professional statisticians Predictz 11 (0) dontcha just love it when science doesn’t work?!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Meh…most popular score was Bristol City’s 2-1 win over Nottm Forest – 29 of youse got that!

Ten got the dull-all at the Amex

4 got Sam’s 3-1 win over Paul. Adios Paul…

Jazz S, Julian F & David G just knew Spurs would score against Man City for a 4-1

Gary B & Steve M got Dundee’s 3 goal demolition of Partick

Jerry S & Paul S made us all green by happening upon Bournemouth 0-4 Liverpool

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Debbie Lee for her normally-correct-score-of-the-season inspired, Aberdeen 4 Hibs 1!

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 97 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Smackdown!

Derby v A Villa (56.25%) – ugh!

Birmingham v QPR (53.75%) – wha?!

Stoke v W Ham (48.75%) – eh?!

 

So, £0 sits on the to be avoided at all costs “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd!

 

 

Table News:

The Get Go”: Scott Harrison stays top, but now only point ahead of Danny N, who in turn is ten points ahead of Kate S in third.

Danny A & Pete B crashed the Top Ten.

 

You Used To Be A Man”: Will Oppong stays bottom, still one point behind Dan H, who in turn is two points adrift of Shaun T…

 

Get Lucky”: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 25 places, is David Goggin  – honourable mentions go to Mark J B (+21), Jerry S (+12), James L  (+12), John J (+11), Paul S (+11) and Rob C (+11).

 

Hard Knocks”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 19 places, are Richard Hirst & Predictz  – dishonourable mentions go to Dan H (-18), Danny B (-16), Ryan G (-15), Chris D (-14), Kyle B (-12) and Clare T (-12).

PAS Champions League 2017/18 Group Stages:

Matchday 6 this week…everything decided!

Oooh it was exciting! We had 7 away wins! 3 hammerings! 8 unsuccessful jokers! 1 really successful joker! And, 2 close games!

But who went through?

 

The Group of Wide-Openness was anything but!

The Grupo de Morte went with tradition!

The Group of The Shoo-In was all even & decided on correct scores!

The Group of The Shoo-In But CL Specialists Be Lurking had a shock!

The Group of Nope, Me Neither saw one miss out by a point!

The Group of I’ll Laugh At You If Frankie Qualifies was another correct score decider! But even tighter!!

The Group of Fam. Innit was decided on the smallest of margins! Goal difference margins!!

The Group of Inseparables was anything but…

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’17 Week 11 round up

It wasn’t Cesc…

Everything Is Everything”: Here’s the thing – you sit down, reassess, plot, plan and find a formula that works, right?

Then it starts working. And it’s all down to your hard work, research, knowledge & “weighing up the odds & then applying common sense instead of fantasy”….right?

Right! Cool…check out the trajectory from a Week 4 84th!

Then your daughter doesn’t want to play “boring football” especially as there are 4 gazillion slime videos to watch on YouTube – so you just flit through & do her 30 scores in literally 1 minute with the first scores that enter your head cos you’ve already paid and it’ll be a waste. Right?

When she gets her 3rd wooden spoon you can spray it gold and…

I got 30 points this week.

“Frankie” got 33 points and 6(!) correct scores! That’s not right! Right?

Anyway, Dan Pelgrom 36 (4) proper showed off this week as he didn’t even bother with the first 3 games and still came away with his 2nd “Alan” of the season. All thanks to Wayne as it turns out…

Right on Dan!

 

 

Victim of the Crime”: It really is all to play for this season as only 15 people got 25 points or more at the top and 28 punters failed to get more than fifteen points.

Getting no correct scores is never a good thing though – hang you heads Jamie T & Ben H.

Ric Pardoe 7 (0) may have already lost his head, as a catastrophic total has probably ended his entitled claims to a league title. Ouch!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

If you got one this week, give yourself a chest bump…most popular score was Burnley’s 1-0 win over Watford– 19 of youse got that!

Six got the five-point Reading v Cardiff 2-2

5 got the 1-3 Peacocks win over QPR

Five more somehow guessed Forest 3 Bolton 2 (how?????)

4 nailed Hibs 2 Celtic 2

Four more got the very annoying last minute spoiling Palace 2 Bournemouth 2

Mark S, Stuart F & John J got Norwich’s 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday

Dan P, Pete B & Me got the thrilling new manager syndrome enhanced Hull 3 Brentford 2

Patricia F got the bore draw between Wolves v Sunderland

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Kyle Beale for his I-may-be-a-newbie-but-I-get-it-now inspired, Barnsley 0 Derby 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 97 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

Ooooof! Back to earth with a bump!

Huddersfield v Brighton (51.19%) – never trust Brighton…

Swansea v WBA (44.05%) – scuppered by Bony!

Hull v Brentford (41.67%) – I knew this would be 3-2, you suckers!

 

So, £0 sits on the to be avoided at all costs “Bet of the Week” slot 11th!

 

 

Table News:

Ti Amo”: Scott Harrison stays top, but now a mere points ahead of Danny N, who in turn is twelve points ahead of Kate S in third.

4 crashed the Top Ten. Ahem… *shines chest with closed hand*

 

If I Ever Feel Better”: Will Oppong drops to the bottom, one point behind Dan H, who in turn is twelve points adrift of Sam C…

 

Consolation Prizes”: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 23 places, is Dan Pelgrom  – honourable mentions go to Frankie F (+22), John J (+15), Mark S  (+14), Pete B (+12), Norman L (+12), Ryan G (+12) and Peter M (+11).

 

Too Young”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places, is James Lee  – dishonourable mentions go to Sam A (-18), Ben H (-14), David G (-14), Neil O (-13), Jerry S (-13) and Simon Linds (-12).
