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!

Bet of the Week:

Yay! We won! Crispy’s acca netted £25 so now we’re only £15 in the red with three weeks to go – Mark S, over to you…

Table News:

“How High”:

Dave Crisp has his lead cut to 5 points as the top three remain the same.

“Can’t Even Be Bothered”:

He’s still on the bottom! Mr 2-0 is nearest to Will Oppong, ten points away.

“Opportunity”:

Highest climber this week is Mark Shakespeare up 11 places to 21st. Honourable mentions for Jamie S (+8), Lisa G (+7) and Tony B (+5)

“You’re Not Very Well”:

Falling furthest this week are John McSherry & Paul Henshaw both down nine places to 31st & 32nd respectively – dishonourable mentions for Dave N (-5) and Dan P (-8).

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 (-1), Sean P is at 13th (+1), and Lisa G is on 33rd (-8)

Other Stuff:

Please make sure you send your scores back on a Word doc where possible! PDFs and normal emails are a proper pain…

And Another Thing:

Mr 2-0 could finish bottom – c’mon Will!

Cheers,
Pab

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.

And Another Thing:

Drinking in Islington on an empty stomach – not a good look…

Cheers,
Pab

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”:

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…

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.

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…
