“I’m carving them up through the dust in your town”:

It’s not tricky, it’s a family affair! Mum rocked up in 3rd, li’l sis was second and big bruv came top of the pile! Josh Hirst 31 (6) enhances his boy wonder status by taking this week’s £20. Well done Josh, be nice and give Jess some money, she was only two points behind you! Anyone else as depressed as me that two little kids are leading the way and putting us to shame??

“'Cause solid currency’s the hardest to land”:

Not a great week! An even worse week for Tony Smith 6 (0). I used to knock around with a Tony Smith, he’s a West Ham fan – how apt…

Correct Score of the Week:

You get a great start – and then nothing…. – most popular score was Bolton 2 Big Sam’s Ex-Team 1 – 20 of you got that! Sam A, Me & Neil T got Inverness Cally’s 1-1 against Rangers, 9 got the 0-0 between Fulham and The Black Cats, 13 got West Ham 1 Man City 3, Rob C & Scott A got Burnley 2-3 Leeds Utd, 6 got the 5 pointer 0-0 involving Reading and Coventry and Cat J & Josh H got the 0-0 between Crystal Palace & Hull City… Sam A/Jess H/Gareth M got the 1-0 at Molineux and Mark Sh & Debbie J got (grrr!) Man Utd 1 Arsenal 0. However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Nicklin for his inspired Everton 0 Wigan Athletic 0.

Bet of the Week:

Smashed early doors at QPR – we’re looking for The Kid to deliver (not that I, ahem, encourage 10 year olds to bet of course…)

Table News:

“Did it all for that dollar”:

Going into the final week, Shaun Backhouse stays top, now a catchable 12 points ahead of Tony M with Neil O a further 12 points behind in third. Howard T moves into the Top Ten intent on making money to buy more protein & creatine from maximuscle.com…

“Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor”:

Savan Arora stays bottom, now 5 points behind of Neil B. Cat J is five points further up as the battle royale at the foot of the table has got good again!

“Don’t turn into one of them”:

And Another Thing:

The famous PAS Poll is on its way – get involved!

Cheers,

Hola!

There were only 13 games out of 31 played this week (including tonight) so we fell short by two games…

After much hand-wringing, ummming and ahhhing, head in hands, hands covering eyes, gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, the PAS Board (cum Pools Panel) decided “rules is rules” and Week 13 is officially void with no plans to try and schedule an additional week to complete a thirteen week season (if this had happened in Week 8 we would have had a 12 week season anyway – so it’s very unfortunate that it happened in the final week).

So, those who were in favourable positions on Week 12, you have Jack Frost, Frosty the Snowman, Mother Nature et al to thank for bringing you good fortune! The rest of us can only wonder and growl further at the inclement weather.

Week 13’s £20 prize will now carry over to Week 1 of PAS Lucky 13 Spring 11 – so all the more reason to get involved eh?!

Full round up asap…

Cheers,
Pab

“All the things I take”:

You did well to get double figures this week, and to get more than double that is quite an achievement! So, well done to Julian Fernandez 22 (4) in fluking this week’s £20 – a timely prize that he will no doubt turn into Yen for his forthcoming grand holiday… I dunno, one week my missus, then my bruvver, what next? Frankie winning a week??!

“And the books don’t lie”:

And neither does the matrix! (well, sometimes it does when we don’t put the scores in properly…) Hanging their heads in (sorta) shame are Sam Arora & Josh Hirst 5(0)…

Correct Score of the Week:

Surprisingly good predicting this week…. – most popular score was Birmingham 1 Spurs 1 – 20 of you got that! Rob C & Vim G got Swansea’s 1-3 against Ipswich, Mark J B & Julian F got the 1-1 between Chelsea and The Toffees, 4 got Derby 1 Norwich City 2, Dave C got Blackburn 3-0 Wolves, Mark J B got the 5 pointer 3-0 involving Millwall and Scunthorpe and Louise B got the 1-1 between Cardiff & Preston… Julian F got the 3-1 at The Hawthorns. However, this week’s best correct score goes to Jason Morris for his inspired Watford 3 Leicester City 2.

Bet of the Week:

Nope, another loser which means BotW spot prize slot 23rd will be worthless – boo!

Table News:

“And you save your money in good faith”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top, now a big 18 points ahead of Tony M with Neil O a further 15 points behind in third. Neil T moves into the Top Ten intent on making money just to wave it in my face along with his Dream Team prize money and wager off me – grrrrrrr……

“And my blues, they won’t go away”:

Savan Arora is off the bottom, now 4 points ahead of Catriona Johnstone. Neil B is five points further up as the battle royale at the foot of the table looks like it’s down to these three…

Highest climbers this week, up a whopping 12 places is Tony Smith – honourable mentions go to Neil T (+6), Julian F (+6), Danny A (+5), Anders H (+5), Rob C (+5) and Jamie S (+8).

“The sun is shining”:

He only entered PAS to beat his brother and not only is he 43 points ahead of him; he’s just won a weekly prize to boot! Tony Morris 29 (5) is having a fine debut just pipping a host of you to the £20. Play nice now Tony….

“I caught a glimpse and it’s not me”:

Actually it is you! Yes, you Anders Hoglund 6(0)! Judging by the last few weeks’ scores, our Week 6 winner is really really tired or his 4 month old is doing his scores for him…

Correct Score of the Week:

If only Ipswich had scored one more goal…. – most popular score was Fulham 1 Birmingham 1 & Spurs 2 Liverpool 1 – 21 of you got those scores! 6 got Bolton’s 2-2 against Blackpool, 5 got the 0-0 between Barnsley and The Hornets, 5 got Middlesboro 2 Hull City 2, 4 got Brighton 1-1 FC Utd, 8 got the 5 pointer stalemate involving Hamilton and St Mirren and 8 got the 1-1 between Droylesden & Orient… Simon Linds got West Ham 3 Wigan 1, Jess H got PNE 0 Millwall 0 and Mark Sh got Hibs 0 St Johnstone 0. Martin S & Tony got the 1-1 at St James’s. However, this week’s best correct score goes to Francesca Fernandez for her nan- inspired Swansea 1 Portsmouth 2.

Bet of the Week:

Surprise, surprise, another shocker…

Table News:

“Ego disposability”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top, now a not-so-quite-big 17 points ahead of Tony M with Charlie H a further 15 points behind in third. Paul H moves into the Top Ten intent on making money for the syndicate…

You can work out your average score this week!

“Walking 'round the room singing…”:

Back in 1989 I started PAS just to mug off my then work colleagues cos I knew more about footy than they did. How? Cos I pored over results, stats, tables, form etc for mere pleasure and used this to take money off unsuspecting “victims”. As PAS snowballed to become what it is today, I’ve found myself second in the all-time earners chart (a poor second behind the Jazzenator mind) so my ambitions were realised on an even grander scale! However, over the last few seasons my “knowledge” isn’t paying dividends thanks to unpredictable English & Scottish leagues and a new breed of PASers are reaping the rewards! Yes, Michelle Fernandez 38(6) has won her 3rd £20 in two seasons thanks to her “you read out the fixtures and I’ll think of a score” technique that takes all over 80 seconds to complete… I want to weep. And we lost to Sp*rs…..

“Things ain't cooking in my kitchen”:

Things are looking up though as my little daughter Frankie Fernandez 10 (1) is obviously taking after her dad and studying form to ill effect as well! Actually, as her nan does her scores, does that mean I take after my mum??!

Correct Score of the Week:

I hate football…. – most popular score was Blackpool 2 Wolves 1 – 22 of you got that score! 6 got Derby’s 3-2 against Scunthorpe, 6 got the 3-1 between QPR and The Lilywhites, 7 got Liverpool 3 West Ham 0 and 6 got the 2-2 between Sunderland & Everton… Jamie T got Kilmarnock 2 Rangers 3 and Tony S got Sheff Utd 3 Palace 2. Neil B got the 0-1 at the Riverside. However, this week’s best correct score goes to Vim Gupta for his inspired Celtic 1 Dundee Utd 1.

Bet of the Week:

Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, so close but so Huddersfield….

Table News:

“…conquer the blue sky”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top now a quite a big 35 points ahead of the Tony M with Charlie H is a further 4 points behind in third. Dave N moves into the Top Ten intent on making money for a Toon top with “Carroll” on the back for his bairn…

“…going nowhere on the mantlepiece”:

Savan Arora stays to the bottom 2 points adrift of Catriona J. Neil B is only four points further up as the battle royale at the foot of the table continues…

“Well, it's the same room, but everything's different”:

Highest climbers this week, up a whopping 22 places is Michelle Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Mr 2-0 (+10), Olly O (+10), Simon Lindq (+10) and Mark D-S-C (+9).

PAS Cup 2011:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2011(and pay a reduced entry fee!) you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… El Presidente, Moi!

And Another Thing:

17 years – as long as they don’t do the same to us in the CL…
