Wor Alan:

Whoah! Where did that come from?? Shhhurely an April’s Fool! But no! Dave Crisp 60 (10) really did record the second highest weekly score ever (and from a man who can get the lowest weekly score too! In the same season! Dontcha just luv PAS?!) A proper “feast” of an international week saw several players record scores of over 40 without a sniff of the £20 – and spare a (small) thought for Shaun B who got 53 points… Well done Crispy, that’s paid for half your ticket when we go to Anfield to scupper another title dream in that ’89 kit…

Scummers:

Hardly a “poor” score but Julian Fernandez 17 (0) managed to end up bottom of the pile this week and at the same time bring the family name into disrepute.

Correct Score of the Week:

EVERYONE had a piece of the action (well, nearly everyone..)

Five of us got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving Slovenia and Czech Rep, 12 got 8 points from Germany v Liechtenstein and another 9 got 8 points from Holland – Macedonia – four others chipped in for a bonus by nailing Portugal 0 Sweden 0. Eleven got Malta 0 Denmark 3, 6 got Holland’s 3-0 v Scotland, 4 got the Danes 2nd 3-0 victory and 4 managed to get the historic Czech Rep 1 Slovakia 2 scoreline. Gareth M & Will O got the one-one between Italy & Ireland but this week’s Best Correct Score goes to Mark Seels for his Armenia 2 Estonia 2 (mostly cos it was unique!)

Bet of the Week:

Rob Hathorn’s British/Irish/Iberian acca fell foul thanks to Ireland and Portugal (typical!), so now we’re £35 down and looking to Mr Crisp to come up with a Red Rum..

Table News:

Professor Booty:

Jamie Tofeili stays in top spot now with a 10 points led over Jason M – Dave C is a further 7 points behind in 3rd

“..dictionary definition of the word spastic”:

He’s off the bottom! Anders H now looks down at our ’Appy ’Ammer Matt Worsfold via four whole points and two big places.

Like two sealed copies of “Expansions”:

Highest climbers this week are Shaun Backhouse & Dave Nicklin up 11 places to 7th & 19th respectively. Honourable mentions for Gareth M (+10) and Danny A (+7)

“Dancin’ around like you think you’re Janet Jackson”:

Falling furthest this week is Dan Pelgrom down 11 places to 28th – dishonourable mentions for Louise B (-8), Julian F (-9) and Ciaran McG (-7)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Gareth M is on the promos at 11th(+10), Sean P is at 13th (-3), and Matt G is on 33rd (+1)

Other Stuff:

Danny A deserves a mention for getting an amazing 23 out of 30 results right this week – let’s hope he had a few lines on at the bookies…

And Another Thing:

David Pleat – co-commentator. Why? I did hear that description of Ukraine’s Kurt Cobain correctly didn’t I ??!

Cheers,
Pab

Stevie Me:

Monster monster score in a quite average scoring week has paid dividends for Rob Hathorn 46 (8) winning him the weekly £20. Well done Roberto, QPR don’t need your money so you might want to spend it on a treat for Toon missus – she’ll need cheering up!

Stevie Wonder:

About time a Sp*rs supporter had something to cry about again – I can’t be doing with al this “top half” malarky going on at the moment – Gareth Morgan 8(0) you are very poor!

Correct Score of the Week:

It’s all about the stalemates again… Seven of us got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving Sheff Wed and Swansea, 6 got 8 points from Hamilton and another 6 got 8 points from Hibs (nice!) – four others chipped in for a bonus by nailing Kilmarnock 0 Motherwell 0. Clare T got the nil nil between Ipswich & Watford and 10 intelligent people (including my daughter!) got Newcastle 1 Arsenal 3. No one got Liverpool though so this week’s Best Correct Score goes to Matt Worsfold for his Charlton 0 PNE 0

Bet of the Week:

Sean P did send over an acca but it had Rangers in it so it would have lost anyway! My replacement treble didn’t happen so we go into Week 8 £30 down – Rob H, give us an international winner please!

Table News:

I Kissed A Girl:

Jamie Tofeili takes over in top spot 5 points ahead of Jason M. A gifted young predictor hasn’t given up the chase in third…

UR So Gay:

He’s off the bottom! Will O now looks down at our Swedish representative Anders Hoglund via one whole point.

Hot..:

Highest climber this week is (surprise surprise!) Rob Hathorn up a huge 21 places to 8th. Honourable mentions for Jon A (+15) Danny A (+6) and Clare T (+6)

..N Cold:

Falling furthest this week is (surprise surprise!) Gareth Morgan down 11 places to 21st – dishonourable mentions for Sean P (-6), Mark S (-5) and Mark J B (-5)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Jon A is on the promos at 11th(+15), Tony S is at 13th (+3), and Clare T is on 33rd (+6)

Other Stuff:

Be aware it’s international week for Week 8 and it carries on until Wednesday’s games!

And Another Thing:

Isn’t it nice to see Mr 2-0 struggling…

Cheers,
Pab

“You’ve Only Come To See Eb-ou-e”:

Very close in a relatively low scoring week but eventually Sean Peers 34 (5) came out on top to claim his second weekly win of the season. Well done Sean, another £20 just in time for Paddy’s Day – slainte!

“He Comes From Ser-bia…”:

From the ridiculous to the sublime back to the ridiculous in a matter of weeks, my ol’ mucker Dave Crisp 8 (0) has managed to evoke the memory of his “Weston”

Correct Score of the Week:

Nine got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving Southampton v QPR, Dan P & Gareth M got Everton 3 Stoke 1, Paul H got 1-3 at Swansea. Sean P got the 2-2 btwn Watford and Sheff Wed, Olly O got the 3-1 at Port Vale and Sean P & Nick H got the bonus points for the 0-0 Scottish League Cup Final. Gareth M (obviously) got the lovely 1-2 reverse at Villa Park and Dave N & Jon T got a Geordie double of 8 points from West Ham 0 WBA 0. This week’s Best Correct Score of the Week goes to Julian Fernandez for his Arsenal 4 Blackburn 0.

Bet of the Week:

Dave C’s acca was all wrong – we are now £25 down but now Sean P gets a chance to make amends for his Week 2 selections…

Table News:

Head:

Jason Morris moves up 1 place to open up a 3 point gap to Jamie T in second – Dave C now finds himself 7 points off the top…

Toes:

The bottom three remains the same with Will Oppong bottom now only 5 points adrift from Matt W and 11 points from Anders H.

And Another Thing:

New exciting “Bet of the Week” item will be unveiled next season (Lucky 13 Winter 09) to celebrate our official 20th birthday

Cheers,
Pab

Biz Lats:

From the ridiculous to the sublime in a matter of weeks, my ol’ mucker Dave Crisp 53 (8) has managed to banish the memory of his 4 points to whisk away the £20 prize. Well done Crispy, that’s a big prize in your hands…

Spook Street:

Mr 2-0 and his merry band of followers felt the pain this week – 16 (1). We like it when that happens!

Correct Score of the Week:

“ou est les zero-zeros…?” Ten got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 at AFC Bournemouth, 6 got QPR 0 Sheff U 0 and Dave C got the eight pointer @ Rotherham v Brentford. 8 got the lovely little 4-0 at Leicester, 7 got the beautiful 3-0 at Arsenal and 4 of us unbelievably got the bonus points behemoth at The Valley. Gareth M got the Desmond @ Plymouth and Jon A got a spectacular 5-1 at Ibrox. And yet he still didn’t usurp his own Best Correct Score of the Week/Season because Neil Templeton somehow managed to predict St Mirren 1 Celtic 0. Amazing!

Bet of the Week:

Tony Smith went all sensible with a double and up pops Diego Forlan to scupper us & Real Madrid – £20.00 down now, looking to Mr Crisp to salt us out…

Table News:

Hi:

Dave Crisp jumps up 4 places and opens up a 10 point gap from Jason M in second – Jamie T now finds himself 14 points off the top…

PAS Cup:

Semi Finals are on 18/19 April – all guaranteed £25!

Other Stuff:

The blanket scoring and 0-0 mania seems to have calmed down this week – cool! We are making a ruling on 0-0 at the end of the season, so PLEASE complete the survey we sent round last week as we need your feedback and thoughts on this!

And Another Thing:

As of Week 6, my scores will be sent to a different individual each week rather than mailed “to all”… And if you’re wondering how a baby completes a scoresheet each week, she doesn’t, her mum/nan does it for her (but once she can hold and throw some dice we’ll be using that technique!)

Cheers,
Pab

7-0:

We love it here when a debutant wins some money (mostly cos it’s a great marketing exercise… Guess what? I won some money putting down some footie scores! You should sign up for next season…), so well done to PAS virgin Tony Smith 35 (5) who walks away with £20 just edging out Shaun B.

0-0 again:

The nightmare scores continue – this week in the sub 10 points gang, are Rich Lee / David Goggin 7 (0)

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse, very sparse pickings… Eight got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 at Hibs (it wasn’t was it), 6 got M K Dons 2 Leicester 2 and 4 got THE EVEN MORE OBVIOUS 0-0 at the Emirates (grrrrrr!). No best correct score this week, but my little girl and Matt Gingell rustled up Bristol City 0 Blackpool 0 for a most welcome 8 points…

Bet of the Week:

John McSherry stepped up with a seemingly nailed on accumulator and got batted away early doors to leave us £15 in the hole…Tony S, you’re up next!

Table News:

Tip top:

Jamie Tofeili opens up a 9 point lead at the top from the tightly packed peloton below

Illin’:

Will Oppong remains bottom now only (ONLY!) 12 points from David G

Getting better:

Highest climber this week is Shaun Backhouse up 24 places to 10th. Honourable mentions for Tony S (+16), Francesca F (+16) and Mark Se (+14)

Coming down:

Falling furthest this week is Mark J Brown down 24 places to 31st – dishonourable mentions for Lisa G (-12), Jon A (-12), Danny A (-16) and Rich L (-10)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! John McS is on the promos at 11th(+4), Dan P is at 13th (-3), and Greg E is on 33rd (-9)

Other Stuff:

The 0-0 abuse continues unabated (we had to disqualify one player this week!) and there is an emergency board meeting tonight to discuss the best way to combat the problem…

And Another Thing:

It’s PAS Cup week this week as well as a normal league week – for players in both competitions, your scores will count for both (minus any bonus “joker” points for the League)

Cheers,
Pab
