Spring Cup 2007 – Round 2 Draw

Written by

Tie of the round pairs the 1st Round big hitters Steve T and Wayne C together justifying their prime time 5.15 live podcast slot….

Also, we have a Croydon derby in the form of Dave McS v Dan R and the buzz of the office here is on Pam R v Andy C who fight it out for Guardian bragging rights…

Stephen “unlucky loser” Peaston drew the home teams and the away teams have El Presidente to thank (for nothing).

  • Dave McSherry (18) v Dan Rayner (5)
  • Donna Edmead (8) v Gary Blackburne (34)
  • Mark J Brown (36) v Ciaran McGoldrick (11)
  • Matt Worsfold (17) v Jazz Sian (2) or Matt Gingell (3)

  • Ben Alder (26) v Karl Chartres (13)
  • Jamie Sellers (6) v Mark Fawke (9)
  • Steve Tagger (1) v Wayne Connolly (7)

Would You Adam n Believe It?! We had a draw! Jazz S had his Chelsea joker to thank for salvaging a replay against Matt G in their 20(0) all tie. Replay next week (PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2007 Week 1) with Matt G to play a “Joker”.

Steve T, Ben A and Mark F all scored 16 points on their Spurs joker (I’ve seen that written somewhere else before..) thanks to Freddie Eastwood pegging one back for Southend.

Dave McS and Jamie S both notched up 14 points for their Chelsea joker thanks to Forest freezing at the Bridge.

Stephen P scored 0 points with his Rangers joker and Greg E decided not to play one at all…

The Cup holder, Simon L, was knocked out by one of only two girls left in the competition, Donna E – yours truly fell (as always) at the first hurdle to Mark F and Dave N lost to Pam R to leave PAS HQ on a downer going into a new season… it’s all about the League y’know!

Draw for Round Two will take place directly after the FA Cup draw at 1.30pm today on BBC 2.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 13 – Final Standings

Written by

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:
He’s been there for 9 weeks and fully deserves the title on his debut season – Steve Tagger 361 (43) walks away with the £150 1st prize 12 points clear of the field. Now he has the dilemma of spending his winnings on his brand new daughter or watching Dennis Wise’s team…
King Herod:
He joined us 2 weeks late, walked into an 11th place slot courtesy of Mr 2-0, and then proceeded to record a sequence of some of the worst scores ever seen at PAS Towers! A well deserved wooden spoon goes to Jon Allin 260 (25) who finished 7 points adrift of Will Oppong (who is now officially the worst “weekly winner” ever) in his debut season. We tried to get Ian Holloway to comment, but even he was lost for words…
Nine, ahem, Ladies Dancing:
(drum roll) Jazz Sian secured yet another £100 in 2nd place (check out his career earnings when the new webpage launches in January!) and will surely open betting accounts for his new baby twins, Matt Gingell picked up 3rd place (£75) and the “Best Correct Score of the Season” (£5) thanks to his mega-guess at Macc v Stanley, much to annoyance of myself who missed out on an extra tenner by finishing 4th (£65) (I know, I know, I’m great..) but at the same time pleased as I edged out my old mucker Dan Rayner into 5th (£55) by way of 4 more correct scores (unlucky Daniel son, not a bad debut fella!). Jamie Sellers kept the old skool flag flying by moving up 5 places to take 6th (£50).
Then it all got a bit close – Wayne Connolly beat “Top Girl” Donna Edmead by 1 point to finish 7th (£40) to her 8th (£35) (welcome back Donna, will this reflect the outcome of the Man Yoo – Villa Cup game in Jan?), Mark Fawke took time out from Internet-dating but could only manage 9th (£30) place, just ahead of John Greaves who just succeeded in getting his money back in 10th (£25) despite having a ’mare of a 13th week…
Close & A Cigar!:
A lesson for all you kids out there – Ciaran McGoldrick didn’t get his scores over this week and paid the ultimate price by dropping out of the prize positions. Scant consolation then in the form of a f*ck off Fidel-approved-Havana cigar. I shall present this mate when I meet you in the PAS executive box (sponsored by Oracle) at the Emirates for the Arsenal Wigan game. Hopefully you’ll be sparking up in celebration of a 1st leg win over AC Milan a couple of weeks later…
Christmas Bonus:
Spot prizers are – Matt Worsfold, who is happier than A Curbishly in 17th (£20), Neil Meredith, who submitted the worst score of the week but laughs loudest and longest in 23rd (£20), Julian Fernandez, the untalented Fernandez who ended up dropping to 39th (£15) and Howard Thomas, another back-in-day-before-PC’s-old-skooler who rolled back the years to anchor down in the very unspectacular 47th (£15) spot.
Cup 2007:
Week 13 is here and Mr 2-0 has performed above and beyond so the Cup qualification slot goes down to 33rd… Neil Birchall, you got in by the skin of yer teeth (1 point) – see you in Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Thanks to everyone who has taken part, parted with money and bothered to submit scores week in, week out, thanks to Dave Nicklin for the technical support and brains and thanks to all those weekly winners who got involved provided a weekly punt (and thanx more to those who gave us winners!).

Didn’t qualify? I’ll be in touch after the summer…

Cool kids, I’ll mail you soon!

All monies will be transferred/handed over asap.

Merry Christmas!

Cheers,
Pab.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 13 Roundup

Written by

’Appy ’Ammers! :
The greatest comeback since Luton’s Sol Davis sees Pam Riding 33 (5) go from the brink of embarrassment three weeks ago, to the last weekly £20 winner and a comfortable Cup qualifier to boot. Well done Pammy, slip us a tenner and I won’t tell anybody it’s your dad doing your scores. Mum’s the word!
Chris Morgan’s Face :
You’d think coming from Runcorn was bad enough, but oh no, Neil Meredith 11 (0) thought he’d make it even worse for himself this week. No two pints of lager and a bag of crisps for you me laddo!
Correct Score of the Week :
Sometimes I really don’t like some people. How on earth did Matt Gingell come up with Maccelsfield 3 Accrington 3??!! Suffice to say, this is the “Best Correst Score of the Season”. Send him to Coventry Isay! Others of note this week are Pam R’s Colchester City 3 Stoke 0, Neil B/Ben McK/Neil T’s PNE 3 Plymouth 0 and an inpsired Everton 2 Chelsea 3 from Danny A.
Bet of the Week :
We lost. We finished £1.25 down for the season (note that bad I spose). Shall I unmask the mystery “pro punter”? Was that a “yes” at the back? Ok… Mark B, you are rubbish!

Cheers,
Pab.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 13 – BotW

Written by

Going into the last week, the betting syndicate pot is down to £3.75 and Will O hasn’t come back with any selections, so up steps our mystery masked “pro-punter” to put us back in profit (or not).

£2.50 treble – Newcastle/Preston/Cardiff – Returns £16.50

£2.50 HT/FT – Everton v Chelsea – Draw HT/Chelsea FT – Returns £10

Result: Lose! Down to -£1.25.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 12 Roundup

Written by

Harveys Bristol Cream :
Has he started to stumble? His lead is a mere 14 points! Steve Tagger remains in pole position and barring an all time low score will be pocketing at least £100 next week….
Eggnog :
With Will O clocking up a winning score this week it leaves Jon Allin stranded in the wooden spoon position a full 10 points behind Danny A.
Drinking Up :
Highest climber this week, and he’ll be glad of it – trust me, is Neil T (+7) into the coveted 32nd slot – others of note are Matt G (+5) into 5th and hunting 3rd, Dave McS (+5) to 18th, Tapiwa M (+6) continuing a late comeback to 21st, Lisa G (+6) putting hubby Mark to shame in 24th and Michelle F (+6) 3 points of 2007 qualification in 35th
Down In One :
Falling the furthest (farthest?), even further than the journey from Mancland to Devon is Andy C (-8) to 30th – other losers are Mr 2-0 (-6) to 20th (good!), Dave N (-6) to 26th, Watford keeper Richard L (-7) to 31st and Gary B (-6) to 38th
Close & A Cigar! :
Jamie S (non-mover) stays on11th virtue of an inferior correct score difference
Spotters :
Neil M (-4) on 17th, Ben A (+2) on 23rd, Simon S (-4) on 39th and John W (non mover) on 47th.
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Neil T (+7) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!
Michael Essien’s Lucky Strike :
In a week that saw the tables being turned upside down (see BotW) Will Oppong 38 (5) struck a blow for the minnows by claiming the £20 this week. Well done Willo, you can treat yourself to a hotdog at the Arse now….
Michael Essien’s Miss :
It’s all gone horribly wrong for the Pilgrim who entered the PAS fray late doors this season. Should he have stuck with the Mr 2-0 scores? Jon Allin 14 (0) must have that Armada feeling…
Correct Score of the Week :
Nuff people got Man Yoo and Liverpool, Dave McS got Rangers 3-0, Lisa G got a very commendable Colchester 1-3 at Palace and Will O nailed the Bolton 4-0. However, Hitman Howie T wears the crown this week for his Hearts 4 Motherwell 1 prediction. Baby, let’s go go…
Bet of the Week :
Aarrrgggghhhhhhhhhh! I didn’t hold out much hope with the speculative win/draw acca’s but the £3 main bet was a sure thing for around £30! It was all going swimmingly until Gretna (the Chelsea of second-rate Scottish football) somehow conspired to go 0-1 up, get a man sent off for “foul and abusive language” (you might as well punch someone on your way off for that!) and go on to lose to 2nd bottom Aidrie Utd by 4 bloomin’ goals to 2. I hate accumulators! Going into the final week we are now &pound1.25 out of pocket so it’s all down to Will O to save face/the day….

Cheers,
Pab.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 11 Roundup

Written by

Apex :
His lead seemed unsurpassable last week and it’s now been stretched to 20 points from the chasing Jazz S. Steve Tagger is all set to get v close to the best winning score ever posted for a season… (Jazz S – 391, in case you we’re wondering..)
Nadir :
Looks set for a straight scrap for the wooden spoon between Jon A and bottom placed Will O who closed the gap to three points this week.
Rising :
Up 13 places to 3rd I go, la la, la la! (and only a mere 30 points off top spot!) – others of note are Tapiwa M (+6) in 27th and Gary B (+9) in 32nd
Sinking :
Whooomp! There he is! Julian F is down 12 places to 37th – others of note are Ben McK (-6) in 29th, Neil T (-8) in 39th and, sacre bleu!, Michelle F (-6) in 41st (welcome back from gay Paris honey!)
Close & A Cigar! :
Jamie S (+1) is up to 11th and just, erm, no points and, ummm, no correct scores off the prizes….if it was Week 13 Jamie, you’d be sharing £25 with Matt G
Spotters :
Karl C (+5) on 17th, Dave McS (-5) on 23rd, Neil T (-8) on 39th and John W (-4) on 47th
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Gary B (+9) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!
Two Dodgy Pens & One Offside! :
Well that lording it round the house did last long for Michelle F as yours truly stormed Week 11, winning it quite handsomely (natch!) with 42 (7) – and that’s without the Leeds – Barnsley 2-2 I called (Jesus, I’m ace!) that had to be voided due to an admin error by one of the minions…. I apologise to the couple of other players who also missed out on 4 points. You just can’t get the staff these days!
Off Work With A Faceache :
He’s not really my brother, he’s that milkman’s – the one that didn’t like football… Julian F plods in with 11 (0)
Correct Score of the Week :
Not many about this week… I got Palace 3 QPR 0, Rich L got Brum 3 Plymouth and Karl C got Arsenal 3 Sp*rs 0. I think you know who got score of the week.
Bet of the Week :
We are now down to £8.75 profit due to the latest treble chance loss. I’ll have a think and try and come up with some plum selections just in time for Chrimbo.

Cheers,
Pab.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 11 – Correction!

Written by

As pointed out by the missus and the visiting Mark F (ad infinitum) and the vigilant Simon L – the Leeds Barnsley game was listed incorrectly as Barnsley are away and not at Oakwell.

Hands up, our mistake.

This result is now null and void – watch it finish 2-2 now just to rub it in…

Apologies,
P-A-S Quality Control Team
