“On Fire”:

There’ll be a Universal party this week as PAS debutant Greg Snowdon 40 (5) shrugs off his abject start & plunders his first weekly £20 prize win courtesy of a fine Hibee away Cup win. Slainte!

“If I Ever Feel Better”:

One of the worst footballing weeks ever from my perspective. Arsene continued in his crusade to turn us into Nu-Tottenham as they bale upward and we aspire to finish at least 6th from now on. Then I conspire to register my worst PAS ever, 7 (0). Bieber may have been two hours late this week, but I didn’t even turn up – Ladies & gentlemen, I hate football…

Correct Score of the Week:

I’m sayin’ nish, thank the Lord i gave up betting for Lent… most popular score was Motherwell’s heartbreaker 1-2 win at Tynecastle – 15 of you got that!

10 got the 3-1 at Goodison and 9 (NINE) got the 4-0 between Man U & Norwich.

Dan P/John S/Julian F got Ipswich’s 1 -0 win over Leicester City, Steve M & Greg S got Blackpool’s 0-0 with The Robins and Louise B & Neil T got Brighton’s 4-1 against Huddersfield.

Dumas H got Stoke City 0 West Ham 1 & Craig B got Sunderland’s 2-2 v Fulham

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season, goes to Greg Snowdon for his Alba inspired, Kilmarnock 2 Hibs 4.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.67 & Rob Currin was left rueing Charlie Adam’s howitzer crashing off the crossbar denying his draw treble… …next up is No.12. Hello Dan Pelgrom!

Table News:

“Second To None”:

Stephen Street stays top 4 points ahead of Stephen P as the Geordie Stephen mafia take hold. Paul Cam is a further 4 points behind in third as he crashes the Top Ten…

“Victim Of The Crime”:

Harry Birkner stays anchored to the bottom now ten points behind Vim G who in turn is a further point adrift of Matt W…

“Consolation Prizes”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 35 places is Ben Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Dumas H (+22), Steve M (+22), Louise B (+24), Simon Lindq (+22), Greg S (+32) & Ben McK (+24).

And Another Thing:

All you lovely Sp*rs people that sent me “mind the gap” images, wasn’t it this time last year 7 points was the difference? Lightning to strike twice?! The 5-2 & 2-1 did…

Cheers,
Pab

“Rich”:

“Holt! Who goes there?!” Why it’s our favourite Canary Ben Hogwood 38(6) conjuring a classical score to win this week’s £20 just ahead of the Celtic soul brother Ciaran McG… well done Ben, is that enough to get you a starter at Delia’s table?

“No No No”:

A double disaster for Dave Nicklin & Norman Lee 13(0) – harsh when you consider they both got only 2 less results right than this week’s winner! Fine margins gentlemen, fine margins…

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse… most popular score was Cardiff City’s Swansea defying 1-2 win at Wolves – 21 of you got that!

10 got the 0-0 at the John Smith’s Stadium and 11 (ELEVEN) got the 5-0 between Celtic & Dundee. Nine more got Dundee Utd 2 Hibs 2…

Rob C & Paul Car got Norwich’s 2 -1 win over Everton and Olly O & Dave C got Ross Co.’s 3-0 win over The Dossers. Louise B got Blackpool’s stalemate with Leicester.

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season, goes to Ciaran McGoldrick for his magpie inspired, Notts County 4 Bury 1.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.47 & Mark J Brown didn’t send a scoresheet let alone any selections! £3 to BotW slot 67 then…next up is No.64. Hello Rob Currin!

Table News:

“Phenomena”:

Stephen Street moves up 5 places to go 1 point ahead of Paul Car who in turn is 3 points ahead of Stephen P in third. Daniel H crashes the Top Ten in 7th.

“Zero”:

Harry Birkner stays rooted to the bottom of the pile still eleven points behind Greg S who in turn, is still a further point adrift of Vim G.

“Bang”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 37 places is Jon Tofeili – honourable mentions go to Ciaran McG (+34), Dan P (+31), Paul Cam (+31) & Ben H (+34).

All the money is in – yay! Lots of PASers love Flowered Up – yay! We’ve nearly cracked the code to get PAS “online” – yay!

Cheers,
Pab

“Mr Happy Reveller”:

Amazingly Portsmouth didn’t lose this week so Julian Fernandez 37 (7) had a double reason to celebrate this weekend – question is, will he send his £20 to the “fund”? Or reimburse Carlisle’s coach driver?

“Hysterically Blue”:

A bit like Arsenal, Harry Birkner 11 (0) saw his season take another painful dip. His by registering his second worst-score-of-the-week so far, Arsenal’s by letting Arsene take centre stage at a press conference…

Correct Score of the Week:

It’s getting ridiculous… most popular score was Brentford’s 4-0 capitulation to Chelsea – 24 of you got that!

5 got the 0-0 at Pride Park 5.

Gary B/Felix H/Ben McK got Man City’s 4 -0 win over Leeds & Howard T & Ian P got Luton’s 0-3 with The Lions.

Simon B & Julian F got Barnsley’s tonking of M K Dons.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Craig Burkert for his Alba inspired, Motherwell 3 Inverness CT 0.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.31 & Clare Templeton crashed & burned on all “both teams selections… next up is No.47. Hello Mark J Brown!

Table News:

“It’s On”:

Paul Carter moves up 3 places to go 2 points ahead of Matt G who in turn is 1 point ahead of Frankie F in third (go girl!)

“Phobia”:

Ooops! Harry Birkner remains bottom of the pile now 11 points behind Greg S who is a further 1 point adrift of Vim G.

“Better Life”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 49 places is Julian Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Stephen P (+42), Mark S (+30) and Ian P (+30)

“Egg Rush”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 35 places is Stuart Fitzsimon – dishonourable mentions go to Ciaran McG (-30), Mark J B (-30) and Olly O (-31)

And Another Thing:

OK. The following need to get their entry fee into my account by the end of the week or face being unceremoniously dumped from all proceedings… Andy McCreadie, Dave Tagger, Dumas Haddad, Gary Blackburne, Mark Fawke, Neil Meredith & Stuart Longworth.

Cheers,
Pab

“Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win”:

If you’re an old skool PASer or named Ryan, so far so good this season! So, Ryan Graves 36(6) couldn’t really fail this week could he! His beloved Reds made sure he saw off the challenge of my little girl (courtesy of her nan) for the weekly £20 prize. Well done Ryan, I knew working back with Jazz would serve you well…

“Get It Together”:

Probably wishes he was on the plane with Andre Santos right now! Rob Currin 10(0) has a ’mare of “Brighton in the Cup” proportions…

Correct Score of the Week:

Applauso! Applauso!… most popular score was Inverness CT’s 1-3 loss to Celtic & Spurs 2 Newcastle 1 – 22 of you got them!

5 got the 2-2 at Vicarage Road and 9 got the 0-0 between Norwich City & Fulham. Nine more got Sheff Wed 2 Derby 2…

5 got another 2-2(!), the one at Molineux & four more got another nil-nil(!), the one between Aberdeen & St Mirren.

Rich L/Ben McK/Mark S got Chelsea’s 4-1 win over Chelsea & Stuart L got Huddersfield’s 0-0 with The Bluebirds. Mark F got Peterboro’s thumping of Leicester.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Francesca Fernandez for her Alba inspired, Dundee Utd 3 Hearts 1.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.71 & Steve Meaton crashed & burned on all fronts (as will Sp*rs)… next up is No.31. Hello Clare Templeton!

Table News:

“Finger Lickin’ Good”:

Ryan Graves moves up 24 places to go 1 point ahead of Jazz S who in turn is 1 correct score ahead of Ryan B in third.

“Hello Nasty”:

Ooops! Harry Birkner goes down 1 place to the bottom of the pile two points behind Simon Linds who is a further 2 points adrift of Rob C.

“Ch-Check it Out”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 51 places is Francesca Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Richard H (+41), Gareth M (+47), Dave C (+28), Will O (+32) and Dave T (+25)

“Slow & Low”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 51 places is Stephen Peaston – dishonourable mentions go to Craig B (-48), Nick H (-41), James C (-39), Gary B (-36) and Julian F (-35)

PAS Champions League 2013/14:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Champions League 2012/13 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the secretive Scouser, Stuart Longworth.

And Another Thing:

Still quite a few outstanding payments – it’s “name & shame” week next week, so make sure you’re off that particular list!

Cheers,
Pab

2 games to go and Ryan G has a three point lead over Little Frankie F(!).

Still in with a shout, and only another point adrift, are Gareth M, Ryan B & Richard H…

Beware, a rejuvinated Jazz S is lurking in th wings though!

Cheers,
Pab

“Two Kinds Of Happiness”:

He may be getting his head baked off in record temperatures but it’s obviously not affecting his score predicting abilities. Paul Carter 36(5) is on his uppers Down Under winning the first cash prize of the season. Bonzer! #neighbours

“Hard To Explain”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well fail in good company I suppose! Harry Birkner & Howard Thomas 9(0) pick up the first non-accolade of the season… #yowzers!

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite a few correct scores (especially a “Desmond”) knocking about… most popular score was Reading’s 2-1 win over Sunderland – 22 of you got that!

15 got the 0-3 at Stark’s Park and 10 got the 2-2 between Man City & Liverpool. Ten more got Wigan 2 Southampton 2…

6 got another 2-2(!), the one at London Road & six more got another two-two (!!), the one between Fleetwood & Bradford.

Dumas H (welcome!)/Mahli G/Felix H got Hartley & Poole’s 2 -1 win over Notts County & Ciaran Mc G (welcome back!)/Dave C/Stuart F got Ross County 2 Hearts 2. Daniel H & Steve T got Derby’s 3-0 win over The Terriers and Kate H & Matt G (welcome back!) got the only stalemate on offer at Loftus Road.

Paul C got Dundee Utd’s thumping of Rangers.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Stephen Peaston for his partisan inspired, Newcastle Utd 3 Chelsea 2.

Bet of the Week:

We had varying degrees of success with this last season where the weekly winners used the populist “Goal Rush” method (pick 3, 4 & 5 matches where both teams will hit the net) or the traditional 5 homes, 4 aways & 3 draws.

We’ll stick to them but this time round Frankie will pick a random number before the table is compiled and the person on that number will get the responsibility.

Remember you’re trying to win some money for yourself and put some money into an allotted spot prize position for a nice surprise at the end of the season.

We’ve set aside £3 a week from the entry fees to pay for this so let’s make sure we win it all back and then some!

Frankie selected No.71 this week, so Steve Meaton, you’re up first fella!

Table News, please be aware we may lose some, but we may also gain a few!

PAS Champions League 2012/13:
