“Trust The Process”:

So, who won?

Well, you’d never have guessed…

Bucking the seemingly perennial trend of leading from the front & winning at least one weekly prize, this was a refreshing, nay, heartwarming, story of a winning campaign – one that gives us all hope…   : )

It was all a bit “Championshipsy” ( I told you it was refreshing!) this season as players jostled for the top spot on a regular basis – we had no less than seven table toppers over the season!

Whilst Citeh did what City do with their robotic belief & consistency in the real world, our champion pretty much went down the Russell Martin route of keep on doing it and it will come good…eventually.

A few players kinda threatened to win it, but…

We went into the final week with just 10 points separating the Top Six & we finished with just three points between the Top 5 – the first time in ages the winning tally didn’t feature in the “Best Totals Ever” (you have to get 350+ points for a start) and maybe the first time a title was won on “correct scores”(?!)

Oh, the drama!

Our “Spring” champ started the season off at an encouraging 6th, before dropping to 13th in Week 2.

Any further dips?

Yep.

Week 3 it was down to 17th, a brief respite up one place, and then down to a season low 18th in Week 5.

A season high score of 36 (6) in Week 6 heralded a jump back to the Top Ten to 7th, followed by further increments to 5th and 2nd.

Week 9, and it was top of the table!

The jitters kicked in with a season low score of 10 (0) in Week 10 resulting in a fall to 5th.

A recovery to 4th in Week 11 before another drop to 7th in Week 12.

That left a barnstorming 34 pointer of a week to see victory delivered in dramatic fashion courtesy of 11 correct scores (six of the best saved for Week 13)

So, lords, ladies & gents, please be upstanding and doff your caps to Andy Kelly, 342 (48) – He. Is. A. Winner!

Bravo Mr K, you can stand proud with Stanley Bowles, Ladbroke Grove Market, Sarah Cracknell, Stuarts on the Uxbridge Road, Robert Smith, Gerry Francis, Sir Les, Adel Taarabt, my nephew, Pete Doherty, Dave Thomas, The Springbok and, Trevor Sinclair for repping QPR well   : )

As mentioned, Andy won by a slender 11 correct scores (on trend this season!) from a very unlucky Paul Vinson in second place (more of him later…)

Simon Buxton finished three points behind in third spot (probably waving at Jack in the distance) and ousted Olly Osmond into 4th spot courtesy of 6 correct scores.

Spitzenjunge of our German contingent was Roshan Thapa a further three correct scores behind in 5th – who, in turn, was 2 points ahead of a refreshed Dan Wayman in sixth position.

Dom Webber was 1 point behind in seventh spot. How “Toon” of you Dom…

Just three correct scores further back, Rowan Marriott can reflect on a fine season, despite unreal circumstances, in eighth place.

And, speaking of fine seasons, eight points behind him in 9th, the apple of the Syndicate’s eye Richard Hirst! (more on him later too!)

Three points back a relieved Chelski fan Harry Hopper just edged out the final weekly winner, Danny Ashworth to claim tenth by 1 correct score.

“AngeBall”: 

Only 18 points, but 80 places, separated our new champion from our wooden spoon champion, Thomas Stafford 229 (22) in Week 1!

Kids, eh, Martin?!

Awkward…

Starting in 86th, poor Thomas never really recovered.

Like a magnet drawn to rubbish scoring, he plummeted to second bottom in Week 2, then…

Week 3 it was down to the Bottom.

And there he stayed thanks to three weeks of zero correct scores and 2 x single digit returns (including the season low of 7 (0) in Week 3)

Week 6 saw a climb to 97th and a season-high score of 26 (4) in Week 7 helped stay there til Week 9.

Week 10 and it was back to the basement berth 98th.

And there the young man stayed, securing the wooden spoon for Wigan (as Croydon sighed with relief…).

Gary M, Mike K, Rukesh K, Predictz, Neil C, Dilip A, and a dazed & confused, hopelessly lost Ben H made gallant efforts over the season to save Tom’s blushes, but…

PAS Champions League 2023/24:

The final between Neil Osborne & Richard Hirst concluded with “Part Two” on June 1st 2024…

Neil Osborne 38 (7) – 43 (8) Richard Hirst

Neil Osborne 25 (2) – 26 (2) Richard Hirst – Part One

Neil Osborne 13 (5) – 17 (6) Richard Hirst – Part Two

A classy affair that was helped by a “predictable” Final – congrats to our new CL Cup holder – Tricky, you are the Madrid of PAS!

PAS Cup 2024:

The final between Paul Vinson & Richard Hirst concluded on June 1st 2024…

Paul Vinson 34 (5) – 33 (5) Richard Hirst

Paul Vinson 22 (1) – 26 (2) Richard Hirst – Part One

Paul Vinson 12 (4) – 7 (3) Richard Hirst – Part Two

It was a proper nailbiter (thanks to that upset on May 25th) and, here at PAS Towers, we were having kittens about the nightmare scenario of extra time…

But, congrats to our new Cup holder – Paul, you are the Man Utd of PAS!

PAS Champions League 2024/25 Group Stages

Congratulations to our friend in the North, Chris Dixon, for sneaking the last spot (by two correct scores!) for entry to PAS Champions League 2024/25 Group Stages.

The Top 32 have qualified and the big draw will take place when the real CL one does…no, we’re not doing that format!

Other little bits 

Mike Cass (fine debut sir!) & Will Oppong (congrats on Kid B!) pick up £5 each for sharing the Best Weekly Score of the Season on Week 2 & 10 respectively –  47 (9)

Rowan Marriott picked up £10 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – Newcastle United 4 West Ham United 3!

Plaudits

Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to play, we couldn’t do it without you!

And a final big thank you to Dave N & Dan H for providing all the behind-the-scenes tech stuff to enable another great (relatively glitch-free!) season…

See you very soon PASers.

Cheers, and enjoy your summer…

Oh,

look at this from Sky Super 6!

come and have a go next season…   : )

“Facts”

“Shake Your Money”:

Ooops, just a bit late this week – blame the NLD.

I was at a play that Frankie was in on Sunday afternoon and only just caught up with the game at White Hart Lane – blame the drama kids.

Anyway, it was quite an unremarkable PAS week considering only 11 people managed more than thirty points!

Chris D, Charlie H & Damian W went close but they couldn’t halt old skooler Danny Ashworth 41 (7) who basically has VAR at Villa to thank for the final weekly £20 prize!

Congrats Danny boy –  gonna keep that money to buy yourself a pint at Wembley on May 25th?!

“In The Name Of The Father”:

Probably wishing they were late this week, are the eighteen bods who couldn’t rustle up more than 15 points this week.

Twelve didn’t get a correct score.

Matt Worsfold 10 (0) spared Simon Linds & me the final “shame” of the season…

Gracias me ol’ china!

Correct Score of the Week:

Bravo!…most popular score was Huddersfield’s 1-1 draw with Birmingham City– 22 of youse got that!

Twelve nailed Villa 2 Chelsea 2

12 more basked in the ecstasy of Spurs 2 Arsenal 3

Six just knew PNE wouldn’t score against Leicester for a 0-3

4 obviously guessed Hibs would beat St Johnstone 1-3

Martin S, Chris D & Mike K got the dull-all at Rugby Park

Ben H, Dave C & Andy B had the “Desmond” between West Ham & Liverpool

Neil O, Matthew M & Damian W stumbled upon Newcastle Utd 5 Sheffield Utd 1

Neil C & Hira Y snaffled up the 5 points on offer for Norwich City 2 Swansea City 2

Andy C & Martin S (again) made short work of the 0-0 at Blackburn Rovers

Ryan G believed in Citeh, a 0-2 belief…

Reagon K saw his typo come good on the game at Southampton

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Chris Dixon for his trust-me-here’s-the-last-best-score-of-the-season inspired, Hull City 3 Ipswich Town 3!

Bet of the Week:

Martin Stafford was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the final £3 “trixie” bet of the season.

And guess what?!

So close to a fitting ending!

So, £1.90 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £1.90 – scant consolation for missing out on PAS CL qualification (not that i’d know about that…)

Table News:

One crashed the Top Ten.

“Kelly’s Heroes”:  

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places, is Chris Dixon – honourable mentions go to Danny A (+15), Damian W (+14), Charlie H  (+16), Eddir O (+13), Andy C (+12), Ricjh L (+14), George T (+13), and Gareth M (+14)

“Tramazi Parti”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 16 places, is Simon Lindsay – dishonourable mentions go to Darren McC (-13), Patricia F (-13), El Presidente (-15), Justin C (-12), Stephen P (-12), Louis W (-14) and Stuart F (-10)

Bitter? Moi…?

“The Kids Are Alright”:

I wwwwwwonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Wait! What?! A Spurs fan? What about them? They did what??! Same score as me???! How??! But, but I did a really good score and even beat Frankie this week! Why do Spurs have spoil everything for everyone all of the time?! I can’t even have this one ray of sunshine to myself in a bleak results of a weekend??! Who was it??!

The King?!

Oh.

Ok then. I’m honoured to share a stage with him…

Yep, Pab/El Presidente/Moi & Jazz Sian 39 (5) shared the £20 weekly prize in a beast of a week that saw just 7 punters amass thirty points or more.

The added on time goals were racked up (we both got Man City & Motherwell!) and a rare victory for yours truly was ripped away by Onyeka’s 93rd minute 2nd for Brentford denying me another correct score and securing one for Jazz.

So, spoils shared as the Old Skool rise up and kinda threaten the bright young things currently dominating where it matters.

Congrats, mi amigo.

Gonna lash that tenner on you lot to beat us lot in your Cup Final at the end of the month?

“I Can’t Explain”:

Meanwhile….

At the other end, just under a third of youse didn’t score more than 15 points.

Beastly.

Eleven didn’t get a correct score.

And only one canary is in the coalmine marked “didn’t get to double figures”.

Ben Hogwood 8 (0) is the toast of Suffolk this week!

Correct Score of the Week:

At last…most popular score was Sheffield Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City – 24 of youse got that!

Thirteen revelled in the schadenfreude of Celtic’s late late 3-0 show vs St Mirren

11 nailed Nottm Forest 2 Wolves 2

Seven banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Barnsley & Reading

6 quite rightly predicted City’s 5-1 thrashing of Luton Town

Five we’re so happy for Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd they will actually wear that ballet dress…

4 thrilled at the thrilling 99th minute deciding Southampton 3 Watford 2

Olly O & Lee T doffed a cap to Hull’s 3-0 deconstruction of the Super Hoops

Stephen P made us all green by happening upon PNE 0-1 Norwich City

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Martin Stafford for his wanna-see-dour?-I-can-dour-with-the-best-of-them inspired, Aberdeen 0 Dundee 0!

Bet of the Week:

Nick Hogwood was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 10 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Boy done good!

So, £4.55 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on £7.40 – sweet!

Andy Chesworth & John King were at 45th this week….Andy was first out the hat!

Monsieur Chez, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

We need something special, cordon bleu…si vous plait?

Table News:

“Baba O’Riley”:

It’s getting hot up here! Dom Webber stays top, but now only 2 points ahead of Paul V who, in turn, is one point ahead of Roshan T in third…game on!

Two crashed the Top Ten!

“Substitute”:

Thomas Stafford stays anchored in last place, twelve points behind Ben H who, in turn, is one correct score adrift of Mike K…

“I Can See For Miles”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 34 places is El Presidente – honourable mentions go to Jazz S (+31), Andy F (+15), Stuart F (+21), and Charlie H (+16).

“Won’t Get Fooled Again”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 16 places are Andy Chesworth & Lily Templeton – dishonourable mentions go to Darren McC (-15), Eddie O (-13), and Greg F (-14).

Genetics…

“Paradise”:

Jeez, that was a brutal week, eh?!

Only 5 players scored over thirty points and none of them got anywhere close to the £20 weekly prize winner!

Despite not predicting 3 scores, putting Hull down to win 2-6 at Cardiff(!), and a last-gasp goal at Sheff U robbing him of 4 more points, it was still won at a canter.

Added-on time winners from Luton & Huddersfield + 4 x 5 pointers landed Will Oppong 47 (9) a handsome victory.

In a good week for the Arsenal, this was also a very good week for a Gooner!

Well done Willo – trust the process <big smiley face emoji>

“When Am I Going To Make A Living”:

Jeez, that was a brutal week, eh?!

A massive forty one punters scored less than 15 points this week.

Of those, 9 couldn’t manage a correct score.

And it was a real bunfight to reach the bottom of the barrel…

Greg F, Reagon K & Nick H tried their best.

Only to leave Danny Ashworth 6 (0) with nothing else but being at OT to be pleased about this week.

Correct Score of the Week:

Erm…most popular score was Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Nottm Forest – 33 of youse got that!

Nine landed on that two-two in Manchester.

6 snaffled up the 5 points served up by Stoke & WBA

Five celebrated the bore draw between Livingston & Aberdeen

5 more were well away with the 0-3 away win for Arsenal

Jamie S, Will O & Martin S turned up Sunderland 0 Bristol City 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Danny B, Matt W & Dilip A got the 1-3 Hull City win over Cardiff City

Luke S had St Johnstone’s 1-2 win at Hibs

Luke S (again) had Blackburn 0 Southampton 0

Luke S (again. again!) had Motherwell’s 93rd minute 2-3 win at Dundee

Luke S Patricia F got Fulham 0 Newcastle 1

Stuart F got that two-two in Chelsea.

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Dom Webber for his i’m-not-biased-either-way-honest-i’ll-even-cross-myself-to-prove-it inspired, Rangers 3 Celtic 3!

Bet of the Week:

Suman Kaflee was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 9 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

It was a “no show”.

With this week’s results, who can blame him?!

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd leaving it on £15.08 – luverlee job!

Peter Morley & Nick Hogwood were at 60th this week….and Nick was first out the hat!

Nicholas, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

I’m confident for a full house fella!

Table News:

“No Ordinary Love”:

All change! Dom Webber moves up 7 places to the pinnacle, 5 points ahead of Roshan T  who, in turn, is three points ahead of Dan W in third…

One crashed the Top Ten!

“Haunt Me”:

All change! Thomas Stafford sinks one place to the bottom, eleven points behind Neil C who, in turn, is four points adrift of Mike K…

“Smooth Operator”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 45 places is Will Oppong – honourable mentions go to Neil T (+19), Stephen P (+19), Elliot D (+24), Matthew M (+21), Eddie O (+17), and Luke S (+16).

Pebbles.Fistful.Hit.Door.Barnes…

“AKA…What A Life!”:

A bit like blue crystal meth, you may drift in & out of fashion but you’ll always be what others are benchmarked against (yep, i’m watching Breaking Bad again…).

In days of yore, the Brothers Morris & their brigade regularly cleared out the PAS coffers for appointed bursar Mark S to lock away their gambling-gotten gains in a safe rumored to be in the vaults of Mr Thomas’s Chop House in Manchester.

Well, the “Syndicate” is back in fashion folks!

This week saw are whopping thirty-five people smash in 30 points or more, 5 topped forty or more!

Rowan M & he of the “Syndicate”, Richard H, went close with some serious scoring (yeah, serious scoring for one of them!)

Nick H was literally crossing the finish line when up rocked Daniel James with a seriously impressive finish at Elland Road (funny he couldn’t do that from half the distance a week ago, but hey…)

Our £20 weekly winner will rightly claim that 97th minute goal sealed his victory, but that was only part of a whopping 19 points that came from goals scored in added-on time!

Paul Henshaw 43 (7) is the golden boy this week – I’m sure your peers will toast you well P!

The shadowy “Syndicate” is back people.

Beware!

“If I Had A Gun”:

…and at the other end of the scale, I think we had first!

Only one player scored under 15 points this week.

Only one player got zero correct scores.

Andy Brown 14 (0) it was only you.

I’m sure the Syndicate boys will buy you a beer mate….

Correct Score of the Week:

My word…most popular score was Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw with Paliss AND Rangers’ 3-1 win over Hibs– 24 of youse & us got that!

Twenty one lapped up the injury time joy of Leeds 3 Hull 1

17 were all over the 0-3 to the Celtic at Livingston

Twelve(!) felt Fergie vibes when that 97th minute Ipswich goal secured a 9 pointer 3-2 v Southampton

10 were grateful to Jamie V for the 3-1 Foxes win over the Canaries

Four got Watford’s “Desmond” with Leeds

Pete B, Lee T & Dickie H had Barrow’s 3-1 win over Grimsby

Julian F decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at the Etihad. And he did…

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rowan Marriott for his sorry-about-my-BotW-but-I-was-keeping-this-one-for-myself inspired, Newcastle 4 West Ham 3!

Bet of the Week:

Rowan Marriott was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 8 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – one to avoid me thinks…

Suman Kaflee is at 83rd this week….

Herr K, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

Gonna go all Bundesliga on us?!

Table News:

“Holy Mountain”:

All change! Andy Kelly moves up 1 to the top of the tree, 6 points ahead of Paul V who, in turn, is one point ahead of Roshan T in third…

Two crashed the Top Ten!

“The Dying Of The Light”:

Neil Critchlow is still bottom, but now only one point behind Thomas S who, in turn, is ten points adrift of Predictz…c’mon boys!

“It’s A Beautiful World”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Nick Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Rowan M (+18), Simon Lindq (+16), Julian F (+16), Paul H (+27), and El Presidente (+18).

“Dream On”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Andy Fowler – dishonourable mentions go to Andy B (-22), Paul C (-17), Elliott D (-24), and Patricia F (-19).

“After the [court] judgment, [Manchester United] absolutely wanted me to speak to the press. I didn’t want to but they said it’s important you have to speak to the press. So I said, OK I will speak to the press, in the sense that they want me to speak – I’ll say any old thing. They wanted me to speak, I spoke. It just came out and then I left. And the press, they all tried to find a sense to it and make it all philosophical. You know, it just came out like that; maybe it came from my subconscious and maybe unconsciously it created a sense, but the best sense of it was, you make me speak, I speak and who cares whether the words make sense” – Eric Cantona ends almost three decades of speculation as to the meaning of those “seagulls” and “sardines” remarks.

Starboy 2.0

“Torch”:

Was you expecting the points-fest on International Week as per yesteryears?

Unfortunately, it was a reality check for all as the dream of 40, 50, and 60 points remained just that, a dream.

You could tell it was a “meh” week as Mr 2-0 fared well – so well done to you if you “tactically” opted out of submitting scores this week….<growls><snarls><vomits>

Only eight clocked up 30 points or more and only none sprung forward past the forty point mark!

Paul F put up a spirited scrap for the weekly honour (undone by a 96 min equaliser at Carlisle!) but was ultimately brushed aside by a resurgent Dan Wayman 38 (6) who has Italy’s 94th minute goal “at” Ecuador to thank as it snapped him up the £20.

Well done Dan, finally got that “double” monkey off your back then!

“Say Hello, Wave Goodbye”:

Well, well, well. I think this is a first…

I did Frankie’s scores and managed not to get her any correct scores – hehehe! Wait? What…?

Still, 15 players couldn’t notch any more than fifteen points.

7 matched “Frankie’s” effort…

But who was the only player with a single-digit total & worst of the week?

Eddie Osborne 9 (0) – that’s who!

Correct Score of the Week:

Wevs…most popular score was Germany’s 2-1 win over the Netherlands – 21 of youse got that!

Seventeen just knew Wrexham wouldn’t keep a clean sheet for a 1-3 at Grimsby

12 snaffled up the 5 points served up by England & Belgium (I hope the Belgians all dye their hair ginger for the Euros btw – y’know, to really complete that “look”)

Four got the 4 goal demolition of Scotland in Holland

Emma T celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 1-2 Notts Co v Salford

Damian W put us all to shame by predicting Mansfield 1 Colchester 1

John K said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Northampton Town 1-0 Derby County

Danny B celebrated the last gasp two-all draw between Carlisle & Stevenage

Debbie L somehow stumbled on Wales 4 Finland 1 (how????)

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Matthew Stafford for his who-cares-about-rugby-league-when-you’ve-footie-like-this inspired, Spain 3 Brazil 3!

Bet of the Week:

Justin Corliss was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £4.81 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – Fosters time!

Rowan Marriott is at 33rd this week….

Jefe, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

Table News:

“Memorabilia”:

Roshan Thepa moves up 1 to the top slot, 1 point ahead of Andy K who, in turn, is eight correct scores ahead of Louis W in third…

Two crashed the Top Ten!

“Insecure Me”:

Neil Critchlow stays rooted to the bottom, now fourteen points behind Thomas S who, in turn, is eight points adrift of Predictz…

“So”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 31 places is Paul Flaherty – honourable mentions go to Dickie H (+19), John K (+20), Simon Lindq (+18), and Stuart F (+21).

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 31 places is Eddie Osborne – dishonourable mentions go to Deepak B (-24), Sam A (-22), Paul C (-24), and Peter M (-20).
