“You Take My Breath Away”: Howay, it was a reet ol’ ding-dong for top spot this week with the top three separated by just 2 points! And, although we couldn’t split second & third, ex-Pointless star Jon Tofeili 35 (7) was anything but as some celtic Jocks helped out a Geordie courtesy of an injury time goal! No doubt there’ll be dancing on the streets of Ponteland tonight! Well, £20’s worth of dancing. That’s quite a lot of Broon Ale isn’t it?

 

“Silent Shout”: Beginners luck is one thing but beginner’s catastrophe is very much something else! Welocme to PAS James Lee 9(0) you’ve truly arrived!

 

Correct Score of the Week: Some very good form in evidence again – most popular score was Celtic’s last gasp win at Pittodrie (I had 1-1 *sigh*) – 30 of youse got that!

5 got the 3-1 at Craven Cottage, 5 more got Birmingham’s 0-0 v Cardiff City.

4 got QPR’s 2-2 thrashing of Man City.

Four more got the south Yorkshire stalemate between Sheff Wed & Rotherham.

Even four more got the 3-1 in Leeds…

Julian F & David G got Swansea 2 Arsenal 1(see Theo has got his touch back then…) and Neil C & Michelle F had West Ham drawing with Villa 0-0.

Paul C & Savan A landed the Friday night 5 pointer at the Macron Stadium (the Reebok to the rest of us).

James C got Man Utd 1 Palace 0 (thanks to a post & F Campbell) and Shashi A had the very entertaining (no, really!) Middlesbro 0 Bournemouth 0.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Will Oppong for his Cup-tastic, Luton Town 4 Newport County 2.

Selections: Sunderland – Everton 40% / Man Utd – C Palace 37% / Leeds Utd – Blackpool 37%

Prize Slot: 33rd

Returns: £0. Confusion reigned! The glitch barring votes didn’t help the low turn out and one punter even managed to vote at 12.51 when the poll was meant to close at 11am??! Shame he didn’t get in earlier cos it would have changed Leeds for Kilmarnock – duh!

Ahhh well, we’re slowly getting better at this…

PAS Champions League 2014/15: Quite quiet compared to previous matchdays to be honest – a fair few hammerings were meted out, two recorded their first point leaving one hapless entrant all alone on “nul point” & one 1 point heartbreaker….oh, and unlike Dortmund but very like Arsenal, no one has actually qualified for the knock out stages yet!

“I”: Syndicated party time this week as Richard Hirst 40 (7) pulled a trick to treat himself by ghosting past Simon B courtesy of Aberdeen’s 0-1 win in the Highlands on Monday night. Neil T wasn’t far off either in a pretty widescale high scoring week – horror show then if you didn’t break the 20 point mark! Congrats Ricardo, £20 heading into Mr Seels’ account…is that scary?

 

“So Oh”: Dan R was obviously more knackered than he thought after this marathon (did your sis beat ya Dan?!) last week clocking in with a woeful 14 (0) but what excuse has Neil Critchlow 13 (1) ? Maybe it’s all that country air you moved to mate…

 

Correct Score of the Week: Some cracking unique scores this week – most popular score was Watford’s 3-1 win over Millwall  – 19 of youse got that!

8 got the 3-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium, 8 more got Blackburn’s 3-1 v Reading and six got Dundee Utd’s 3-0 against St Mirren.

5 got the 2-2 between Stoke & West Ham.

Clare T & Dave T got Newcastle 1 Liverpool 0.

Dan H & Predictz got Huddersfield 3 – 0 Nottm Forest.

Dan R (again!) somehow dreamed up Citeh beating Man Yoo 1-0!

Shashi A landed the 5 pointer at Selhurst Park.

Debbie L got Rotherham 0 Middlesbrough 3 and Clare T (again!) had Everton 0 Swansea 0.

Steve M got nine points for his Bournemouth 3 Brighton 2.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Crisp for his frankly, quite ridiculous, Wigan 3 Fulham 3.

Votes: 36

Selections: Man Utd – Man City 26% / Leicester v WBA 22% / Huddersfield – Nottm For 19%

“Rocco”: Oooh it was a right ol’ ding-dong for top spot this week with the top three separated by just 3 points! And, although we couldn’t split second & third, everyone’s fave faux Scouser Alex Rossi 33 (5) dipped into that bin marked “last kick of the game goal from a hated rival” and netted this week’s £20! Well done lah, a score – not to be sniffed at…

 

“Let Down”: It’s dark(o) days being a Leeds fan at the moment so don’t be surprised if Dave Tagger 9(0) gives himself two more weeks before sacking himself or ditching that single vent purple mohair suit & selling that Vespa with 17 mirrors…

 

Correct Score of the Week: Another week of tip-top predicting – most popular score was Wolverhampton’s win in the principality of West Ridings – 23 of youse got that!

9 got the 0-0 at Firhill, 7 got Reading’s 3-0 v Blackpool and 7 more got WBA’s 2-2 against Palace.

5 got the 1-3 between Burnley & Everton & five more got “Desmond” in Ipswich.

Four got Sheff Wed 0 Norwich 0.

Rob C, Dan R & Eddie O got Bolton 3 – 1 Brentford and David G & Jon T somehow imagined West Ham beating Citeh 2-1!

James C & Arthur H landed the 5 pointer at Oakwell.

Neil C got Derby 1 Wigan 2 (much to the chagrin of our Dan H!) and James L had St Mirren 2 Ross County 2.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter for his 18 month Anfield wait, Liverpool 0 Hull 0.

And Another Thing: Thought you had a bad week predicting? Spare a thought for our very own Dan H who placed a free £10 bet on a 11 team acca (yeah, that’s what I thought) & watched Geoff tell him all of them came in (inc a PNE miracle) only for Derby to surrender a one goal lead to Wigan…put it this way, he would’ve probably built HAL with all the money he could’ve won!

Hola,

I’m sorry to report some sad news – my good friend & fellow PASer Felix Hines passed away on Saturday aged just 41. It was sudden and obviously a great shock to us all. I won’t bore you with tales of what we did & didn’t do but I will tell you he was a genuine top fella – cool, laid back (to point of being horizontal), wicked sense of humour and impeccable taste in music. He’ll be sorely missed…

Understandably, this weeks round up will be very low key but we’ll be back to normal next week – i’m gonna leave Felix in the standings as he wasn’t one for fuss or wailing or gnashing of teeth. Let’s hope Mr 2-0 gives him the send off he deserves…

For posterity then, here’s what happened on Week 3

Weekly Winner : Dan Hogwood 36 (6)

Worst Score : Neil Critchlow, Chris Marriott, Mark J Brown & Pete Britton 11 (0)

Highest Climber : Simon Buxton (+29)

Biggest Faller: Mark J Brown (-26)

Best Correct Score : Neil Birchall (Ross County 0 Celtic 5)

Bet of the Week : +£1.70

Cheers,

Pab

“Had To Hear”: You’d think scoring 45 points would secure a weekly win wouldn’t you? But no, Neil O, it doesn’t. So, then you’d think getting 49(!) points would win you £20 yeah? Well no, actually, Kate H. It’s about being even better than that…

David Goggin 63 (9) pulled out the best weekly tally in PAS history to make his £10 intro entry stake seem like a very good investment indeed! Well done David, it’ll take some beating…

 

“Hostiles”: Oh dear! I think the time difference in Australia was playing havoc with Paul Carter 13 (0) as he brings shame to all Poms abroad. Get yeself on walkabout mate, clears the mind apparently…

 

Correct Score of the Week: Another round of fine predicting – most popular score was Spain’s win in the principality of Luxemborg – 26 of us got that!

19 got the 5-0 at Wemberlee, 10 got Norway’s 0-3 v Malta and 6(!!!) got Belgium’s 6-0 against Andorra.

Chris M (welcome!), Olly O & David N (welcome too!) got the 2-2 between Poland & Scotland.

Simon Linds & David G got Holland 3 Kazakhstan 1 (how?!)

David G (again!) & Francesca F got Republic of Ireland 7 Gibraltar 0.

Martin S (welcome back!) got Liechtenstein 0 Montenegro 0 and John H had Italy 2 Azerbaijan 1.

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season, goes to Douglas “The Pug” Hogwood for his barking (see what I did there?!), Germany 1 Ireland 1 (!!).

“Sweetest Thing”:

If you’re gonna win a week might as well do it early! Congrats then to Paul Vinson 38 (6) who raced away from the opposition (the closest was Dave C 7 points back!) with a Super Sunday to win in, let’s be honest here, a tricky week for predicting scores. Congratsm you’re the first £20 weekly prize winner of the season! #firstcutisthedeepest

 

“Repeated Offender”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well fail in the first week eh?! Stephen Peaston 7 (0) is all alone (well, Donna E is v close neighbour!) at the bottom and really needs to shake off the “Pardews” sharpish! Commiserations SRP, you’re our first weekly loser! #cutmeloose

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow! Quite a few correct scores knocking about (despite the mad scorelines)… most popular score was Leeds Utd’s 1-1 draw with Yorkshire rivals Sheff Wednesday – 23 of youse got that!

6 got the 1-1 in the Scottish Highlands derby and 6 got the “Desmond” between Forest & Ipswich.

5 got the 2-2 at Moulineux and Dave C, Arthur H & David N got another two-two between The Swans & The Toon.

Paul C & Paul V got the 3-1 involving Partick & Motherwell.

Anders H & Yours Truly just knew Millwall would draw 0-0 with Derby and Michelle F & Shashi A got a fine Leicester 2 Burnley 2.

Chris M & Paul V (again) got Aberdeen’s 9 point thriller at Dundee.

Alex R got Norwich 1 Rotherham 1.

Neil C got the 0-0 in Blackburn.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to debutant Adhnan Zuel for his beginners-luck inspired, Brentford 3 Reading 1.

 

Bet of the Week:

We had varying degrees of success with this last season so we’ve stuck with it and this week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

ps – if you’re below Doug Hogwood in the table, please be aware you’re getting beat by a dog. Yeah, a dog! A pug. Who picks his scores by sniffing or eating strategically placed treats. A bit like that octopus. But with only 4 limbs.

Frankie has got an excuse –  she’s 6. And a girl….

Hola!

I’m counting on 66 regulars playing again this season and so far we have 7 newbies or blasts from the past now in the fold.

or

5) still rocking old skool behaviour? Send a cheque made payable to me

Cheers

Hola!

PAS begins very soon and you, dear people, are our mainstays. Our rock. Our all. Ahem…

I’ve messaged all the Champions league bods and all are taking their positions for the upcoming competition, so there’s no sneaking in there unfortunately…

The Champions League groups are here

The fixtures are here (check out the north east derby in Group A to kick things off!)

 

So, entry fee is £23 and details of how to pay will be filling your inbox on a very regular basis in the coming weeks : )

 

Oh, and I need you to introduce a new player (for a tenner!) so email me their details ASAP please – you MUST be able to get family member/friend/work colleague you can rope in?

So far we’ve had 3 newbies confirmed so we need a real push on this people – come on – don’t be going all shy on me now…

 

Cheers
