L13 Spring 2009 : Week 13 – Roundup…

Hollywood Final:
Obviously the season for multiple weekly wins this season – our QPR friend Rob Hathorn 45(7) collects his second of the season just nicking past Danny A in the final week to claim the last £20 – congrats Rob, you might wanna wave it in the face of the young man below…
93rd Minute Misery:
If Chelsea being dealt injustice after injustice wasn’t enough, we got a Spurs fan running in the last worst score of the week! Gareth Morgan 12 (0) has managed to get the score no one wants especially on the last week – bless.
Correct Score of the Week:
No one got the 4-2… Fifteen got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving Wigan and Bolton. Eight got Liverpool 3 Newcastle 0, seven got Celtic’s 1-3 at Aberdeen and seven more got Man City’s Europa League encouraging 3-1 v Blackburn. Four got Arsenal’s 3-0 at Pompey, Olly O & Matt G got the quite unbelievable Port Vale 1-2 away win and Jamies T & S and Jon A got Forest 3 Southampton 1. Danny A got Chelsea 3 Fulham 1, Tony B got a cool 8 points from the Palace – Sheff U stalemate and Louise B got Watford 3 Derby 1.This week’s Best Correct Score award goes to Jazz Sian for his inspired (nee jammy) Burnley 4 Bristol City 0.
Bet of the Week:
One treble came in (well done Rich L!) and one treble didn’t (unlucky Tony B!) so we gained a fiver to take the overall season balance to minus £20. Ahh well, exciting new format to look forward to next season that should ensure this particular feature is taken VERY seriously next season!

Table News:

Ooooh it’s gone to the wire but in Saturday reality talent show tradition, we like to milk the suspense, so you’ll have to wait a bit longer for the full lowdown – only right it gets the top billing it deserves (read: this weekend. I’m out and about til then and still a bit peed off about Tuesday – bah!)

PAS Cup:
We still have the Cup Final to be decided between Jazz Sian & Lisa Grey – you will receive updates and results cos I know you luv it!
And Another Thing:
RVP on the goal minute spread still didn’t really soften the blow…

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 13 BotW

Final Bet of the Week (the last in this format – look out for exciting feature next season!) is a two pronged attack to try and get us into the black…

First up – Rich Lee…

my first win for ages, was considering retiring myself as I’ve been so crap. Pab you would have been proud, you got a mention in the end of season awards ’taxi’ category last night for that Berbatovesk penalty of yours, unfort you weren’t the winner.

Re bet, could go silly with a Tranmere away victory or safer with 3 homes: Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool

Safe to say he chose not to go with the Wools option and backed the treble @ 2/1

Result: WIN!

Next, Tony Bowley…

Can I offer a championship alternative for those who like the man’s version of the game? (for man’s substitute “poor”).

Reading to beat Birmingham(c’mon you Royals!).

Palace to draw with the Blades. (Warnock’s revenge).

Canaries to fall of the perch at the Valley. Charlton Norwich draw.

Could just as easily go the other way but that’s why we love it!

And the tricky trees are rebuilding under King Billy, get your cheque book out Doughty, so the good times are rolling back across the City Ground. Promised land here we come!

26/1 for that triptych – fingers crossed…

Result: LOSE -£20.00

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 12 – Roundup…

Pigs Might Fly:
A joint effort from Tony Bowley & Rich Lee 34 (6) stopped Dave C claiming his 4th weekly win courtesy of 2 correct scores. £10 each then chaps – Tony B will no doubt buy a bottle of “we’re-staying-up” cava and Rich L a bottle of the “we’re-not-going-to-win-the-league” variety…
Swine Flu:
A miserable weekend all round for familia Fernandez as Francesca Fernandez 15 (1) was joined by her dad (still suffering a PAS Cup semi hangover) and John McSherry (still suffering a proper Sunday League Cup Final hangover)
Correct Score of the Week:
No one got the 5-2… Four got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving QPR and Plymouth. Gareth M & Matt W got the two-two between Leicester & Scunthorpe and Jason M/Matt D/Rich L got Southampton 2 Burnley 2. Eight got Rangers 3 St Mirren 0, five got Liverpool’s 1-3 at Hull, and four got Brentford’s title clinching 1-3 v Darlo. This week’s Best Correct Score accolade goes to Tony Smith for his Birmingham 1 PNE 2.
Bet of the Week:
Jon Allin’s “awayday” treble was left wanting do we go into the final week £25 down – only a double header can save us now…come on down Tony B & Rich L!

Table News:

Top Hole:
back to the top goes Dave Crisp carrying a five point advantage over Jason M in second place going into the final week. Jamie T is another six points behind with an outside chance of winning the title…
The Well:
He’s off the bottom! Matt W has a majestic week leaving Mr 2-0 in his wake and firmly bottom of the pile – hooray! Let’s keep him there Will O et al…
Getting There:
Highest climber this week is Tony Bowley up 6 places to 22nd. Honourable mentions for Tony S (+4) and Rich L/Shaun B (+5)
Tailing Off:
Falling furthest this week is Francesca Fernandez down 8 places to 20th – dishonourable mentions for Greg E/Nick H/Ben H/John McS (-4) and Jamie S (-6).
Spot Prizers:
OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Shaun B is on the promos at 11th (+5), Danny A is at 13th (+2), and Jamie S is on 33rd (-6)
PAS Cup:
Congrats to Jazz Sian and Lisa Grey on their semi final victories last week – the winner will be decided on May 27-30.
And Another Thing:
It’s going to be a long long summer from next Monday…

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 12 BotW

Bet of the Week comes from Jon Allin – and there’s me thinking he’d target some 0-0s…

A quick away treble for the BOTW… Burnley, Forest & Peterborough. Think you can get about 8/1 on that little beauty.

Result: LOSE -£25.00

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 11 – Roundup…

Sweets From A Baby:
If there was any doubts about the 0-0 points changing next season they were firmly put to rest as Jon Allin 41(4) cynically exploited the loop hole and benefited to take his second weekly win of the season – little Francesca F was so upset at finishing second she cried herself to sleep not even finishing her bottle…
Sour Times:
A miserable weekend all round for familia Fernandez as Julian Fernandez 9 (0) clocked up his second worst score of the week for the season
Correct Score of the Week:
No one got the 6-0… Nine got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving Middlesbro and Fulham, 6(!) got 9 points from Ipswich 3 – Norwich 2 and another 4 got 8 points from Dundee U v Kilmarnock – David G / Jamie T / Jon A chipped in for a big bonus by nailing Man Utd 0 Everton 0. Scott A & Richard H got the Hibs 2 Rangers 3 and Richard H & Neil T got Leeds’s 3-1 v Tranmere. Frankie F & her dad got the two-two between Charlton & Blackpool, Jason M got Falkirk 0 Hearts 0 and Jon A got the 0-0 at the Madejski. This week’s Best Correct Score goes to Jazz Sian for his Man City 4 WBA 2 – in a normal season, nailed on for best correct score of the season, but we’ve had that St Mirren one, haven’t we!
Bet of the Week:
Arsene picked the wrong team so we lost this week and are now £20 with 2 weeks to go – Jon A, got any 0-0s for us to bet on???!

Table News:

“I Fly Like Paper, Get High Like Planes”:
Surging to the top, Jason Morris has a two point lead over Jamie T. Dave C falls to third a further 3 points behind…
“Already Going Hell…”:
He’s off the bottom! Will O has a majestic week leaving Mr 2-0 in his wake with Matt Worsfold now the wooden spooner by a point.
“No One On The Corner Has Swagger Like Us”:
Highest climbers this week are David Goggin & Matt Gingell both up 9 places to 25th and 20th respectively. Honourable mentions for Richard H (+8) and Rich L / Scott A / Jon A / Francesca F / Greg E (+5)
“Lethal Poison Through Their System”:
Falling furthest this week is Mark J Brown down ten places to 33rd – dishonourable mentions for Gareth M (-8) and Jamie S / Shaun B / Tony A (-5).
Spot Prizers:
OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Sean P is on the promos at 11th (+2), Tony S is at 13th (-5), and Mark J B is on 33rd (-10)
PAS Cup:
Both semi finals were decided by the 90th goals at Ipswich and Man City
And Another Thing:
Never change your score from 3-2 to 4-2!

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 11 BotW

Bet of the Week comes from Mark Shakespeare – can he turn £15 down to £20 up? He thinks so…

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 10 – Roundup…

Macbeth:
Very much seeing the woods from the trees, our very own “Bard of PAS” Mark Shakespeare 31(4) won this week’s £20 just seeing off Neil T & Tony B. Would you believe he got all the Scottish scores right too? Well he didn’t…
McDuff:
Oh William it was really nothing… actually it was 13(0) for Will Oppong – off with his head!
Correct Score of the Week:
A Fernandez family fare this week… Six got 5 points from Wolves v Southampton and another 6 got 5 points from Rangers – Motherwell… – li’l Frankie F got the only nil-nil this week between Charlton & Birmingham and yours truly got the 3-1 at the Riverside. However, this week’s Best Correct Score goes to Julian Fernandez for his Liverpool 4 Blackburn 0. Good boy!

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 10 BotW

Bet of the Week for the third time this season comes from Dave Crisp….£40 down, we need a winner!

4 homes Wolves / Liverpool / Chelsea / Swansea to win

If they come in, that’ll give us a £15 deficit going into Week 11…

Result: WIN! -£15.00

Happy Easter!
Pab


L13 Spring 2009 : Week 9 – Roundup…

Angstgegner:
He doesn’t wear one, but he’s just performed a trick with one… Dave Crisp 44 (7) records his third weekly win this season (the first person to do so in 20 years!) just edging out Jon T, Tony B and Matt G in another high scoring week – well done Crispy, that’s paid for all your ticket when we go to Anfield to scupper another title dream in that ’89 kit…
Bauernspitz:
Hardly a “poor” score but Francesca Fernandez 16 (2) managed to end up bottom of the pile this week and at the same time bring the family name into disrepute. Bed with no tea for you girl!
Correct Score of the Week:
You we’re al over the stalemates… Nine got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving QPR and Crystal Palace, 9 got 8 points from Hull v Portsmouth and another 8 got 8 points from Coventry – Reading – nine others chipped in for a big bonus by nailing Celtic 4 Hamilton 0. Nine got the last gasp Cardiff 2 Swansea 2 and 5 got Heart’s 3-1 v Kilmarnock. Tony S & Richard H got the two-two between Dundee U & Hibs and Louise B & Ben H got the “6 pointer” at the Hawthorns. This week’s Best Correct Score goes to Matt Gingell for his Man Utd 3 Aston Villa 2 – in a normal season nailed on for best correct score of the season, but we’ve had that St Mirren one, haven’t we!
Bet of the Week:
Mr Crisp’s tip could only manage 7th in the National (did I tell you I had Mon Mome on the spreads?!) but hopefully it will be third time lucky for Crispy (and us!) cos we bloomin’ well need it!

Table News:

Bauerntrick:
Dave Crisp goes into top spot with a 6 point lead over Jason M – Jamie T is a further 4 points behind in 3rd and is now only 5 points away from his brother…
Rote Laterne:
He’s off the bottom! Matt W now looks down at Will Oppong via four whole points and one big place.

Falling furthest this week are Mark Shakespeare & David Goggin both down 7 places to 32nd & 38th respectively – dishonourable mentions for Francesca F (-6), Mark J B (-5), Jazz S (-6) and Julian F(-5)
Spot Prizers:
OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Louise B is on the promos at 11th(+1), Danny A is at 13th (+2), and Tony B is on 33rd (+7)
Other Stuff:
Did I mention I had State Of Play @ £10 e/w?
And Another Thing:
Drinking in Islington on an empty stomach – not a good look…
