PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 8 round up

I Want To Dance”: Fifty. That’s, ahem, a big number innit (more about that on a later date..). You’d think securing over a half century of points would get you a weekly prize though. Well, you would. I would. Does Tony M? Nope. How about Jon T? Uh-uh. Nah, it was always gonna take a big number to win an international week and those old skoolers amongst us always shudder at the mere mention (isn’t funny how you always miss by just that *one* goal?). So, new boy Darren Banham 59 (8) unlocked the £20 this week no doubt justifying his decision to join our fold to boot! Congrats Darren, welcome to PAS – go tell your friends how easy it is to win money in our beautiful game…

 

Hot Water”: Being a disciple of Mr 2-0 is always a dangerous liaison and so it proved for 8 of you this week. International week! How many 2-0s did you really think there would be??! Anyway, you can feel a bit better about that blunder cos Josh Hirst & Dave Crisp 15 (0) did even worse than you!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: … most popular score was Slovakia’s 3-0 win over little ol’ Luxembourg – 22 of youse got that!

21 got Andorra 0 – 3 Bosnia

20 got the hammering meted out to Lithuania at Wem-ber-lee.

17 got the very predictable 3-0 between Switzerland & Estonia.

4 got Hungary 0 Greece 0 and four got the five-nil in Brussels.

Four more pulled out a plum with Slovenia’s shellacking of San Marino!

Stuart F/Simon Lindq/Mark S  got Kazakhstan 0 Iceland 3 and Debbie L & James C got the bloomin’ 1-1 draw in Prague that brought down my 14 team acca – arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhh!!! Sorry.

Ben McK & Darren B got Austris’s fine win over Liechtenstein.

Debbie L (again) somehow managed to pull out Romania 1 Faroe Islands 0.

Andy F nailed Holland’s 1-1 against Turkey.

Graham E surpassed himself with the two-two between Bulgaria & Italy

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season, goes to Stuart Fitzsimon for his I-knew-they’d-score inspired, Scotland 6 Gibraltar 1.

 

 

Bet of the Week: This week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

Votes: 33

3 matches with over 4 goals selections: Slovenia v San Marino 23% / Georgia v Germany 21% / Scotland v Gibraltar 19%

Prize Slot: 65th

Returns: £3. I won’t bore you with the details but between me missing a deadline & finding a bookie actually offering odds this didn’t happen – £3 in the pot it is then!

Don’t forget to cast your vote every week but make sure you do it by 10am on Saturday!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 7 round up

Where It’s At”: You’d think securing EIGHT correct scores in a week would lock down the weekly prize wouldn’t you? Sam C certainly must have thought so & you can have a certain sympathy for her when it dawned that 39 points just wasn’t enough! Australian presence was once again prevalent in the shake up but this time going one better thanks to 2 nine pointers gifting Paul Carter 41 (6) the £20 booty! At last a Pommie victory Down Under – I wonder if this bodes well for the summer…

 

Loser”: It was all too apparent what kind of day Saturday would turn out once my lift to Newcastle didn’t show & I had to scramble around to get on a train to Toon disrupting my measured, controlled approach to predicting scores in the process. Well, that’s my excuse anyway! 8(0) this week for yours truly even out under-performing my Swedish Gooner friend on 9 points. On his birthday too! Ahh well, if that kind of sacrifice is required to ensure yet another away win & the handsome one bagging more goals, we’ll happily finish bottom if it means we creep up & snatch the League title…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: … most popular score was Wigan’s 3-0 last gasp draw with Bolton – 19 of youse got that!

16 got the hammering meted out to West Brom at the Etihad

11 got the very predictable 3-0 between Celtic & Dundee Utd.

7 got Norwich 3 Nottm For 1 and four got the ol’ one-two in L4.

Eddie O & Ian P got Bradford 2 – Fleetwood 2 and Paul C & Neil O got the one-four featuring Tranmere & Burton Albion

Matt W & Peter M got Charlton’s fine win over beaten FA Cup semi finalists Reading.

Ben McK somehow managed to pull out Watford 0 Ipswich 1.

Dan H nailed Brighton’s 0-1 against Blackburn.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter for his walkabout inspired, Rotherham Utd 2 Sheff Wed 3.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 6 round up

A Sort Of Homecoming”: It looked like a proper bun fight for top prize going into Sunday with as many as seven contenders for the crown and at one point, we were considering for our first Antipodean weekly winner. Imagine! Strewth. But then Alex Taylor 46 (7) popped up clapping Everton who triptyched him all the way to the bank. £20 Alex – you’ve got Ross B to thank!

 

Bad”: A new trend appears to be taking root this season. “Let’s see who can get the worst score possible, possibly the worst of all time. It’s probably more difficult than getting over 30 points but i’m gonna give it a damn good go anyway…” Yeah, that trend. This week features Martin Stafford 5 (0) just missing out on equalling Stuart F of yore…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: … most popular score was Arsenal’s 3-0 win over West Ham – 17 of us got that! Thanx Maffew!

16 got the hammering meted out to Blackpool at Dean Court

8 got the very predictable 0-0 between Leicester & Hull.

5 got Burton 3 Accrington 0 and four got the one-one in Fulham Broadway.

4 got Dagenham & Redbridge 1 – Southend 3 & four more got the two-two featuring Hamilton & Ross County

Charlie H / Ryan G / Jazz S got Palace’s fine win over QPR.

David G & Norman L somehow managed to pull out Burnley 1 Man City 0.

Matt W & Jon T nailed Watford’s 4-1 against Reading.

Alex T got the Goodison 3-0 & Jon T nabbed Leeds 0 Nottm Forest 0

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Ben McKeown for his its-my-birthday-lets-cut-loose inspired, Man Utd 3 Spurs 0.

Votes: 28

3 “players to score at anytime” selections: Aguero 25% / Kane 17% / Sanchez 17%

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 5 round up

Huarache Lights”: Proper scrap for top spot this week with at least 17 players in with a shout going into the last game (yeah, THAT game on Monday hehehe…). As it turned out 5 of you amassed 30 points only to be leap-frogged by Jason Morris 32 (5) who got THAT game correct to take another £20 into the “syndicate” vaults. Brave move that Jason going against your own team for the sake of PAS, I mean, you wouldn’t find me doing that…… *quickly deletes any trace of Man U 2 Arsenal 1 from archives*

 

Fool”: The scrap for worst score of the week as also keenly contested as Mr 2-0 (ha!) & 10 others conspired to get a measly 9 points! However, Stuart Fitzsimon 4 (0) produced the joint lowest score of all time (I think!) to take the proverbial biscuit. Shamed? Probably. Bothered? Doubt it. Arsenal won at Old Trafford on Monday. Did I mention that?

 

Correct Score of the Week: The uniques were prevalent again… most popular score was Tottenham’s 1-2 win at QPR – 28 of youse got that!

13 got the Desmond at Molineux and 13 more got Hibs 4 Berwick 0

12 got the very predictable 1-2 between Man Utd & Arsenal(!).

Howard T & Tony B got Swindon 3 Notts County 0 and two more got the two-two in Southend.

Mark J Brown got Sheff Utd 1 Fleetwood 2(!) & Peter Morley got Huddersfield 0 Rotherham 2(!!)

Neil Critchlow got Falkirk’s fine away win over Queen of the South (!!!).

Howard Thomas (again!) somehow managed to pull out the last minute Derby 2 Birmingham 2

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season, goes to Julian Fernandez for his i-know-the-basement-league-cos-Pompey-are-in-it inspired, Tranmere 2 Dagenham & Redbridge 3.

 

Bet of the Week: This week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

Votes: 28(!)

3 “both teams to NOT to score” selections: Hibs v Berwick 20% / Millwall v Norwich 19% / Liverpool v Blackburn 16%

Prize Slot: 11th

PAS Lucky 13 Spring’15 Week 4 round up

Busy Earnin”: Right! I’m seriously considering changing this beautiful game into “Guess-A-Score” or “Don’t-Predict-A-Score” (where the challenge is to put scores so outrageous that the aim is to get the least points possible) as a worrying trend that started to creep in last season is gaining more ground as the weeks go by. What trend(s) is that I hear you ask? Inconsistency. Basic defending. Unsettled sides. Weakened sides. Stupid c*nts getting sent off…I could go on but i’m sure you get the picture & feel my (OUR!) pain. It really is getting to the point where league position and current form mean sweet eff all and what *should* happen is heavily outweighed by the complete opposite. Bah… I’ll cite our very own “Bet of Week” for proof – this week was the lowest in football history for games featuring both teams scoring! Bournemouth had scored for 187 games on the trot until we came along and plonked some money on them… I could cry but all my tears were shed on Wednesday night.

Anyway, suffice to say Mr 2-0 38 (6) won this week & dragged 6 lucky so ‘n’ so’s along with him – woe is me!

 

Crumbler”: You know it’s a bad week when Frankie F is positively luxuriating mid-table with 18 points – you’ve really got something to be down about now Nick Hogwood & Steve Meaton 7 (0)

 

Correct Score of the Week: What can I say… most popular score was Stoke’s 1-0 win over Hull City – 18 of youse got that!

7 got the nil-nil at McDiarmid Park.

5 got the only very predictable 2-1 between Liverpool & Man City.

Four got the quite frankly ridiculous Leeds 2 – 3 Watford.

Ryan Graves got Coventy 2 MK Dons 1(!) & Graham Entwistle got Burton 0 Newport 1(!!)

Andy Fowler (welcome!) got Partick’s fine win over Dundee Utd (!!!).

Paul Carter somehow managed to pull out Blackpool 1 Wigan 3 & Stephen Street used all his lower league knowledge to secure Chesterfield’s shellacking of Fleetwood…

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Howard Thomas for his it-had-nil-nil-written-all-over-it (it didn’t) inspired, Bournemouth 0 Blackburn 0.

 

Bet of the Week: This week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

Votes: 39

3 “both teams to score” selections: Liverpool v Man City 26% / Norwich v Ipswich 16% / Bournemouth v Blackburn 13%

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 3 round up

Big Area”: Wow! Did you get over 20 points this week? Well done to the 26 of you! Did you get over 30 points? No, thought not. Only 4 managed that – so double gutting for Paul H & Anders H then….Which leaves just two. And they couldn’t be split in a horror week for predicting scores… £10 each to Clare Templeton & Pete Britton 35 (5) – congrats, you really are the wheat in a field of chaff!

 

Scary Monsters”: Did you get under 16 points? If you did, the current wooden spooner beat you this week (Trust me, that’s bad!). Did you get under 10 points? Anyone? Anyone? I can see you in the corner Shashi Arora & Will Oppong 8 (0)…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: Amazingly the ones out there to get were got… most popular score was Arsenal’s 1-2 at Palace – 30 of you got that thanks to Glen Murray!

18 got the 3-0 at Pittodrie and 12 got the non event between Sunderland & West Brom.

10 got the 4-0 at Celtic & 5 got the historic 2-1 between Swansea & Man Yoo.

Four got the 0-0 involving Millwall & Fulham.

4 more got Burton’s fine win over Dagenham and Ben McK / Eddie O /Francesca  F (!) got Blackpool’s highly unexpected 1-1 at Ewood Park.

Michelle F / Graham E / Debbie L got the Peacocks 0-1 victory over the Boro & Eddie O (again!) / Tony M / Stephen S are currently fawning at the feet of Harry Kane….

Paul C & Rich L nabbed the robbery in Southampton

Paul C (again!) & Clare T got *yawn* Huddersfield 0 Cardiff 0

Simon Linds somehow managed to pull out Dundee Utd 0 St Johnstone 2.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Jamie Tofeili for his “Martinez Out!”-inspired, Everton 2 Leicester 2.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 2 round up

All The Rage Back Home”: From the ridiculous to the sublime, what a difference a week makes in PAS! Eighteen points in Week 1 was turned on its head for James Lee 38 (7) as he nudged past Simon B & Tony M to claim his first £20 prize! Well done James, you’re a PAS winner…  #changeyournametoJamestowintwentyquid

 

Obstacle 1”: Francesca F really is determined to start a collection of wooden spoons judging by her measly 10 points this week but along came Martin Stafford 9 (0) to scupper her plans. The big spoilsport…. #trydiving

A message from Ben H

“Dear friends,

Hope you are all well. I wanted to introduce you to my new website, Arcana.fm!

Arcana is a site I am putting together for readers who want to know much more about classical music but without the pressures that can often bring. The idea is to dispense with boundaries and labels and just enjoy the music, which means I’m as open to reviewing techno albums as I am harpsichord recitals for the site!

Features include ‘The Borrowers’, which will look at pop songs using ideas from classical music or similar, ‘Screen Grab’, which looks at classical music on the big screen, and a big listening section where readers can access guides to music available on the BBC iPlayer or similar. There are also reviews of new recordings that are tailored both to newcomers and those who know a little about classical music.

The site is only 11 days old, so is still finding its feet – which is partly where you come in. If you could follow the site on Twitter, like it on Facebook, or just read (and hopefully enjoy!) before telling your friends all about it that would be fantastic. I would also hugely appreciate any feedback you have to give. The addresses you need are:

 www.arcana.fm

Twitter: https://twitter.com/arcanafm

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arcanafm

That’s it for this week – oh, follow us on @PabsPAS if only to see those late scores rolling in every week. you know, the ones that make you squeal or shriek in equal measure!

And remember to add #pabpas to see your tweet on the site – actually some away game pics would be good this season. Or some pics of away fans. Or home fans. Or just the match. Or players you’ve met. Anything footy related to be honest…

Cheers,

Pab


PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’15 Week 1 round up

Leave Them All Behind”: If you’re gonna win a week might as well do it early! Begrudging congrats then to James Challinor 46 (7) who has that late Daley Blind goal to thank as it won him the first £20 of the season! #iwouldhavewonifitstayed1-0!

 

Nowhere”: If you’re gonna fail you might as well fail in the first week eh?! Debbie Lee 8 (1) is all alone at the bottom after managing to out under-perform my daughter who thinks wooden spoons “are still a prize!” Commiserations Debs, you’re our first weekly loser! #lazurus

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite a few correct scores knocking about in a generally high scoring week… most popular score was Fulham’s 1-1 draw with Birmingham – 25 of us got that!

10 got the 1-1 at Lowland League Spartans FC & 10 more got the “Desmond” between Burnley & WBA.

Nine got the 1-3 involving Wigan & Bournemouth.

6 got Aberdeen’s shellacking of Ross County and five got Spurs historic North London Cup Final win at the Lane (now known as the Citizen Kane Cup Final a bit like Stanley Matthews back in the day. It was that epic you know…)

Four got the Canaries 4-0 victory over the Tangerines

James C/Jon T/Neil T got Hamilton’s bore draw with Kilmarnock

Neil C & El Presidente got Rangers 1 Raith 2. (and 8/1 to boot!)

Andy Ches & Sam A got Burton’s fine win over Cheltenham and Stephen P & Jon T (again) somehow managed to pull out Derby 4 Bolton 1!

However, this week’s best correct score, and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Norman Lee for his sl*gs-are-going-down inspired, Millwall 1 Huddersfield 3.

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’14 Week 12 round up

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of Year”: Gareth M’s valiant effort for a weekly win hat-trick appeared to be scuppered by Ryan G jump as his fine current form continues into the business end of the season. He’ll be rueing Brentford’s attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at Cardiff as this nine pointer helped Scott Harrison 39 (5) creep up on the blind side and snatch the £20 prize. Well done Scott, looks like you’ve timed this to perfection!

 

Little Girl Blue”: Dan R looked to have compounded a thoroughly miserable weekend after travelling up to the Etihad & notching a measly 9 points but along came Francesca Fernandez 8 (0) aided & abetted by her nan to record her second worst score of the week in a row. Only Santa can save her now from the wooden spoon…..

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Only me to miss out here then… – most popular score was Man City’s lucky drubbing of Palace – 27 of youse got that!

5 got the Fergie-time 2-2 in Liverpool’s thrashing of Arsenal

Shashi A, Michelle F & Ryan G somehow got Crewe’s 1-0 win over Bristol City

Ryan G (again!) & Ben McK also somehow got Dundee Utd’s 2-1 defeat of Celtic

Scott H & Red A got Cardiff 2 Brentford 3

Simon Linds landed the 4 pointer at the DW Stadium.

James L had the very entertaining Derby 2 Norwich 2.

Matt W nailed the 3-0 for Luton v Newport

Ian P got the shock away defeat for Everton

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Rowan Marriott for his “abbreviation” inspired, QPR 3 WBA 2.

Votes: 38

Selections: Crewe v Bristol City 25% / Ross Co v Hamilton 18% / Villa v Man Utd 25%

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’14 Week 11 round up

The Party Line”: After a week when where confusion reigned over who had exactly how many points, the eventual confirmed Week 10 winner decided to make a statement of intent. And he did. Producing an impressive stack of points that put him way out in front this week, Gareth Morgan 37 (6) becomes our first double weekly winner of the season to put to bed any asides of being a “jammy g*t who virtually took sweets from young lad’s mitt and left his dad to pick up the pieces…” Cold!

 

Make You Better”: As little Frankie & myself gamboled around Casa Fernandez last week sniggering over Michelle F’s PAS performance last week I really didn’t feel the need to explain what schadenfreude meant. However, karma knows exactly what it means and duly felt retribution was in order. Up until the 79th minute on Monday night we had both failed to make double figures for the week. Then Bobby Zamora scored. Leaving Francesca Fernandez 7 (0) on her own. Mwahahaha…

 

Correct Score of the Week:

It was hard this week wasn’t it… – most popular score was Palace’s draw at home with Stoke – 25 of you got that!

8 got the 3-1 at Goodison Park

Reda A, Sam A & Paul V got Celtic’s 4-1 thrashing of St Mirren.

Graham E, Alex T & Simon Lindq got the huge upset between Motherwell & Ross County

Shashi A, Rich L & Julian F got the bore draw in Rotherham

Rob C & Paul V (again!) landed the 5 pointer courtesy of Man Utd.

Sam A (again!) had the very entertaining Bolton 0 Ipswich 0.

Dave N nailed the 0-1 for Wolves v Sheff Wed

Will O got the 0-2 between the Terrors and the Dons

Paul V (again! again!) got the shock away defeat for Blackburn.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter for his table-turning, Burnley 1 Southampton 0.

 

Bet of the Week:

Votes: 31

Selections: Bournemouth v Cardiff 25% / Bristol City v Crawley 25% / Man Utd v Liverpool 23%

Prize Slot: 45th

Returns: £9.30

Whoo-hoo! Back in the game – good work people!

Table News:

Jack B crashes the Top Ten…

 

She’s Stuck In The Endless Loop Of Her Decline“: Zut Alors! Donna Edmead stays in 87th now only two points behind Francesca F who in turn is 5 points away from Felix H (RIP)…

 

Big Ideas“: Highest climber this week, up a whopping 13 places is Pete Britton – honourable mentions go to Gareth M (+10), Neil M (+11) and Julian F (+10).

If you’re at “home” – don’t forget to play your “joker”!

 

And Another Thing:

Just to confirm last week’s winner was actually Gareth M who just pipped young Josh H after the Man Utd score was factored in after accidentally being missed off the final tally.

All other Man Utd points missed off the League & CL totals have now been amended and reflected in respective tables.

We are deeply ashamed of ourselves and still slightly in shock…
