L13 Spring 2007 : Week 7 Roundup

Written by

Hot :
He (and 3 others in the Top Ten!) didn’t send in any scores, but Ben Alder is still out front with a 12 point lead over Neil T and Matt W…
Cold :
He always sends in scores (early and clearly mental), but Scott Aslett is now in the wooden spoon position, one point away from Martin S…
Warm :
Yours truly climbed highest (scant reward!) this week up 10 places to 15th – others of note are Matt W (+5), Lisa G (+6), Danny A (+6) and Richard L (+5).
Tepid :
No surprises as Stephen P falls the furthest, down 10 places to 32nd – others of note are Matt G (-4), Will O (-4) and Michelle F (-7).
Close But A Cigar! :
Jamie S got knocked out the Cup and slid 2 places to 8th – 9 points off the money…
Spotters :
Lisa G (+6) on 11th, Will O (-4) on 23rd, Stephen P (-10) on 32nd and Wayne C (+3) on 39th.
Ireland CC:
Not only did I have to endure sitting in the 80’s football museum that is Goodison Park (good ol’ restrcted views, cosy seats, queuing 45 mins for a badly poured pint… I won’t even begin about a the “scouse pie”, the “atmosphere” and parking charges in Stanley Park) freezing to death watching Arsene’s young dream team turn increasingly into that other lauded batch of youngsters, Crystal Palace 1979-80, but I had the ignominy of seeing AJ smash home the only goal that could deny me the weekly prize. In the last minute. Nice. This weeks weekly winner then, is ’Appy ’Ammer Matt Worsfold 35 (5) – well done Matty, it didn’t all go your way this week, but fill yer boots with boiled beef and cabbage and treat yourself to some new buttons for that silly jacket you insist on wearing…
Freddie Flintoff:
It’s quite nice when you see your own experiences mirrored for a northerner – his team is rubbish, can’t score and also out of Europe, Stephen Peaston’s 12 (0) week just a whole lot worse…
Correct Score of the Week:
This week’s winner had a lot to thank for his Stockport 3 Hartlepool 3 ten pointer and it looked like he had the “Best Correct Score of the Season” in the bag until Neil T came along! Amazing! Loads got Chelsea and Spurs (mostly together) and Danny A & Neil m got Derby 3 Cardiff 1. Best score, just to make me feel better, goes to me for my certainty on Charlton 2 Toon 0.
Bet Of The Week:
Palace boy Dan R failed us and became the seventh person to do so – we are now £35 down and looking for a miracle now to break even. Matt W is next up – can he pull another 3-3 out of the bag??

£30 down, we now look to a Palace supporter to bail us out – let me put it this way, they’re an optimistic bunch…

A cheeky treble: Palace, Leeds and Everton to win!!!

£5 on will net around £199.00 (inc stake).

Result: Lost! :-( Down -£35.

L13 Spring 2007 : Week 6 Roundup

Written by

Up:
Non mover Ben Alder stays top and extends his lead is to thirteen points from Simon L in second – bear in mind neither of these two sent scores in this week!
Down :
Wayne Connolly slips quietly to the bottom, but only two points away from Martin S
Around :
Highest climber this week is Julian Fernandez (+9) to 24th – other movers of note are Matt G (+7), Pam R (+7) and Lisa G (+8).
Gone :
Fallers of the week are Stephen Peaston, Mark Grey, Andy Chesworth and Ciaran McGoldrick all down 7 places to 13th, 26th, 34th and 37th respectively.
Close But A Cigar! :
Matt W stays put 4 points from money and 2 from oblivion.
Spotters :
Karl C (+1) on 11th, Clare N (-6) on 23rd, Dan R (+5) on 32nd and Dave McS (+3) on 39th.
Drinking & staying out late with LCD :
Another close week and another Daniel taking the prize….by way of keeping a whole hosts of potentials (including Mr 2-0) at bay thanks to a bumper 12 points from Sunday’s matches – step up Dan Rayner 35 (6) collect your £20. Spend it wisely Danny boy or chip into the Simon Jordan “haircut” fund….
Hangovers at christenings:
His team couldn’t win the league this weekend and they couldn’t even beat Rangers either. And, Ciaran McGoldrick 11 (0) couldn’t get any worse (unless he was actually Neil Lennon of course…)
Correct Score of the Week:
A sparsity of bonus points prevailed again – only Scott A and Donna E managed it by guessing that Stockport would actually let in 3 goals, let alone one, for the first time in ten matches. This weeks best correct score goes to Pam Riding who bitterly predicted Man Yoo would draw 2-2 at the Riverside.
Bet Of The Week:
Let’s face it, we’re never gonna win any money are we??! Danny A crashed and burned with his acca and we now look to Dan R to get us out of the £30 shaped mire we are well and truly stuck in.

L13 Spring 2007 : Week 6 – BotW

Written by

Currently £25 down, we turn to the Derbyshire hills where “locals” openly spend their ill gotten gains in the local butchers…

Hola, this weeks bets will comprise of:

  • Man Utd win @ 8/13
  • Sunderland win @ 4/5
  • Sheff Wed win @ 8/5
  • Scunthorpe win @ 11/10
  • Rochdale win @ 11/8

That little scoop will bring in £188.53 if £5’s is placed at your local Ladbrokes, happy betting peeps.

Thanks Danny A – we hope you’re a winner!

Result: Lost! :-( Down -£30.

L13 Spring 2007 : Week 5

Written by

Hot :
Non mover Ben Alder stays top but his lead is cut to two points by Neil T who himself has a eight point gap to Greg E in third.
Cold :
Swapping places with Scott A is Dave McSherry who finds himself floundering five points from the salvation of humilation and a Level 42 box set…
Warming Up :
Unsurprsingly Danny Ashworth is the highest climber, up ten places to 21st – others moving the right way are Karl C (+6), Gary B (+8), Matt G (+6) and Anders H (+6)
Cooling Down :
Choosing the wrong week to hand his scores to Mr 2-0 was Neil Meredith, down twelve places to 26th – others moving the wrong way are Mark G (-9), Lisa G (-8), Richard L (-8) and Mark F (-6)
Close But A Cigar! :
Down one place to 7th goes Matt W.
Spotters :
Neil B (+5) on 11th, Pam R (+5) on 23rd, Anders H (+6) on 32nd and Mr 2-0 (-4) on 39th.
nang! :
The closest week for years with just four points separating the top ten scores – this weeks winner with a very very impressive 23 correct results from thirty games is Danny Ashworth 35(4). £20 then, and the landlords of StalyVegas watering holes are pulling pints as we speak…
meh :
Mr 2-0 had a shocker but Mark Grey 12 (0) had a “City”.
Correct Score of the Week:
Even less captures than last week! Scott A and Ben A somehow guessed “1-0” Wolves would win 2-3 at Luton and Ben McKeown obviously know that Barnsley 1 Norwich 3 was a cert. Or he wouldn’t have put it down would he?
Bet Of The Week:
When a basement team beats the league leaders 0-3 away you know it’s not a good week to bet. Dave N’s acca fell foul of the Scottish curse and we now find ourselves £25 down (well, I am). lets hope Danny A can drag himself away from the bright lights and two-for-ones and come up with a winner.
PAS Cup :
It’s Cup week again – all quarter finalists will win money. I say it’s all about the League…

Has anyone been following the selections each week? Feeling a a bit peeved you’re £20 out of pocket? Help is at hand!

Week 4 winner and PAS Board member Dave Nicklin has done his number crunching, form guide study and selected the following with the shiniest pin he could find…

So as not to miss out on the winnings this time, my fiver is already on, here goes….

Gretna vs Queen of the South
Gretna @ 1/3
Celtic vs Dunfermline
Celtic @ 1/7

Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield

Good luck!

Result: Lost! :-( Down -£25.

Spring 2007 : Cup Replay & L13 Week 4 Roundup

Written by

Nu Rave :
Up one place with a 4 point lead is Ben Alder but Dave N and Neil T are on his shoulder…
(Un)Happy Hardcore :

Down two places to 42nd goes Scott Aslett but only one point away from Dave McS – “living it up, living it up” he ain’t..
Progessive House :
Highest climber this week is Ben H (+12) to 11th – props to Dave N (+8), Richard L / Dan R (+5) and Matt G (+7)
Downbeat :
Furthest faller this week is Julian F (-12) to 29th – disses to Neil B / Steve T (-5), Gary B (-7) and Wayne C (-6)
Close But A Cigar! :
Down 3 places to 8th goes Greg E
Spotters :
Ben H (+12) on 11th, John W (-3) on 23rd, Michelle F (-2) on 32nd and Ben McK (no change) on 39th.
TC :
Cries for a “stewards!” will be ringing round the league as Dave Nicklin 40 (6) just nudged past Ben H to claim this week’s £20 prize. Remember, it’s Dave who invented the “score marking” matrix ; ) Dave is the 2nd Geordie to win a weekly and will no doubt spend it in Mrs Greggs near Fenwicks…
Rob Hulse’s Chinese Cat :
It’s a long way back from Oz, and he probably wishes he’d stayed there now – Scott Aslett 13 (1) is probably bbqing his scoresheet as we speak.
Correct Score of the Week:
Few and far between – Lisa G, Matt W and Dave N got the big Sheff Wed 3-2 and Clare N got Everton’s0-3. This weeks accolade goes to Neil T for his Liverpool 4 Sheff Utd 0….
Bet Of The Week:
…and what a shame he didn’t lump the fiver on that score cos his 4-fold fell when W Ham capitulated at Charlton. We are now down a score and need Dave Nicklin to pull out a similar plum to last year when he won us around £80!
PAS Cup 2nd Round Replay:
Dan Rayner (joker: Hibs 2pts) eases past Dave McSherry and into the Quarter Finals…
Ties to be played on weekend 10/11th March 2007.
