L13 Winter 2006 : Week 11 – BotW

Written by

Our profits are falling fast as we enter the last three weeks – my lovely wifey has put a lot of thought into spending this weeks £5…

Leeds, Reading and Burnely to win.

If that ridiculous threesome comes in we’ll get back about £135 as it’s about 26/1 depending where you bet.

Result: Lose! Down to £8.75.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 10 Roundup

Written by

Haircut 100 :
As it’s Week 10 it’s really easy to work out the average scores…and Steve Tagger is averaging nearly 30 points a week! Safe to say his lead of 17 points is looking pretty unassailable…
David James’s Barnet :
Some 20 points on average behind the leader is Will Oppong who now finds himself 13 points away from 2nd bottom.
Hopeless Hair Do :
Highest climber is cockernee WHam geezer (from Kent no less!) Matt W, up 12 places to 20. Others moving significantly up are Dave N & Neil T (+10) and Michelle F (+11)
Hair Don’t :
Falling furthest is Manc Citeh laydeee (from Urmston!) Pam R, down 11 places to 46. Others moving significantly the wrong way are Ben H (-10), and Martin S & Lisa G (-6).
Close & A Cigar! :
Current “Geordies FFL” leader Stephen P (+3) is just 3 points off the prize money places.
Spotters :
Scott A (+1) on 17th, Ben McK (+7) on 23rd, Mark G (-4) on 39th and Howard T (-2) on 47th.
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Mark McD (-5) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooraaaaay! :
As stated before, I would rather eat glass than fix a week and give the missus bragging rights in Casa Fernandez. So, until I produce a winning week score or get into the Top Ten, Michelle Fernandez 33(7) will be lording it up clutching a crisp twenty and mocking in my general direction. Oh joy! Mrs F just edged out Matt W courtesy of two more correct scores…
Boooo! Hisssss! :
The slide continues for Pam Riding 11(0) who seems determined to get the wooden spoon after a promising first couple of weeks.
Correct Score of the Week :
Loads got Colchester, Forest, Tottenham and Rangers, Mark G / Dave N / Danny A got Dunfermline 0 Aberdeen 3 and Scott Aslett somehow managed to get Motherwell 4 Falkirk 2! Correct, he is now in the “Best Correst Score of the Season” slot…
Bet of the Week :
Well, he got the Welsh part of the treble right but failed with the other two “nailed on” selections. Greg E has now taken the profit down to £13.75 and next up is Michelle F – I think I know what that bet will be already…
Thought of the Week :
Now that Phil has gone, why has Che Neville got “G. Neville” on his back?

Cheers,
Pab.

Next up to increase the profit and buck the trend of late is Greg “Best Disco In Town” Edwards – he’s a Liverpool supporting Gogg who would probably prefer to see us all lose a fiver than tip us a winner…

A home win triple: Aston Villa, Preston NE and Wrexham

I think he means a “treble” – £5 on that will pocket you around £44 – good luck!

Result: Lose! Down to £13.75.

I’ll get straight to it as it’s late – apologies to those who did well and for those who did bad, you’re off the hook this week… (that’ll be me then!)

Winner :
Greg Edwards 44 (6)
Worst :
Jon Allin 15 (1)
Correct Score of the Week :
Danny B – Coventry 3 Sheff Wed 1
Bet of the Week :
Rubbish! Now down to £18.75…

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 9 – BotW

Written by

Ciaran McG has run screaming to the Wicklow mountains at the thought of submitting a “suggested flutter” so I’ll take up the task this week (I’m nice like that!)

£2 win accumulator on Arsenal / Chelsea / Bristol City / Accrington Stanley (should return about £12)

£2 away win double on Liverpool / Plymouth (should return about £12)

£1 correct score on Chelsea 5 West Ham 1 (should return £41 if you back it on Sporting Odds – Ladbrokes we’re offering 20’s!) – I had a dream/nightmare last night where I was in a pub (natch) and had money on Chelsea 5-0 when someone watching Geoff Stelling cheerily piped up that West Ham had scored a last minute goal…..

Result: Lost! Down to £18.75.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 8 Roundup

Written by

Steve Coppell :
He’s still out front and he’s still 5 points clear – Steve Tagger is holding off the fast rising Ciaran McG who in turn has a 6 point gap to Jazz S, who in turn has a 9 point gap to the chasing pack…
Iain Dowie :
He’s still stuck at the bottom and he’s now 7 points adrift – Will Oppong is falling away from Danny A who is now behind Jon A
Gareth Southgate :
John G (+16) is this weeks highest climber – props to Matt G (+15), Lisa G (+9) and Martin S / Anders H / Gary B (+6)
Alan Pardew :
Tapiwa M (-12) is this weeks biggest loser – disses to Mark F / Neil B / Mark G (- 7), Donna E / Pam R (-8) and Greg E (-10)
Close & A Cigar! :
Mark F is smoking on 11th (-7)
Spotters :
Scott A (-1) on 17th, Andy C (-4) on 23rd, Anders H (+6) on 39th and Jon A (+1) on 47th.
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Simon S (+4) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!
Take A Boo Son! :
They’ll be dancing in the streets of North East Baile Atha Cliath tonight as Ciaran McGoldrick 42 (7) is this weeks winner. Whether he spends the money on Gypsy Rovers, the Bhoys, his boys or his good lady wife is something to ponder whilst supping pints of O’Guinness down the juicer, probably watching GAA at the same time. Or maybe even a new amp for Clubber Lang? Now there’s a dilemma… £29.72873 coming your way sunshine!
Not Gonna Happen Fair :
Ooops! Pam Riding 14 (1) is this weeks disgrace – the slide continues…
Correct Score of the Week:
Lots of you got Chelsea and (back to normal) Celtic, I got Leicester 2 Plymouth 2, Matt G got Wigan 3 Charlton 2 (goodbye Judas Dowie!), Mark G & Ciaran McG got Leeds 3 Colchester 0 and Steve T & John G got Luton 2 QPR 3. This weeks best, and new overall score, goes to Pam Dyson for her Arsenal 3 Liverpool 0 prediction. Hoooray!
Bet of the Week :
Mark G’s very optimisitc double (it included City!) fell woefully short and our overall profit is now cut to £23.75. Next up is Ciaran McG so expect index spread betting on J J Deleany or something…

Cheers,
Pab

If you have followed every tip posted for the last 7 weeks you’ll be £28.75 up – looking to improve on that is Week 7 winner Mark “Fade to” Grey, who, I believe, is “Citeh til he dies…”

Double – City to beat Newcastle & West Ham to beat Middlesbrough

£5 on Blue Square will net you £30.19 as things stand.

If I told you Mark won £9million on this years World Cup, would you trust his judgement?

Result: Lose! Down to £23.75.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 7 Roundup

Written by

Small Teams In London :
If scoring 20 points is a bad week then he had one – Steve Tagger is still top but, ominously, his lead has been cut to 5 points by Jazz S. Mr 2-0 makes a Top ten debut for the first time ever at 8. Man, that’s depressing…
Big Teams In London :
If scoring 15 points is a good week, then it’s not good enough – Will Oppong is still bottom and 3 points away from Jon A.
North West Teams :
Highest climber is Week 7 winner Mark Grey (+14) up to 30th – gold stars to Donna E (+13) on 11th, Neil M (+11) on 14th, Scott A (+11) on 16th, Tapiwa M (+11) on 21st and Ben McK (+10) on 25th.
North East Teams :
Biggest drop is Week 7 loser Mark McDowell (-15) down to 22nd – black marks to Dave Mcs (-12) on 26th, Pam R (-13) on 28th and Matt W (-10) on 32nd
Close & A Cigar! :
One point off the Top Ten is Donna E (+13)
Spotters :
Wayne C (+4) at 17, John G (-5) at 23, Mark J B (-5) at 39 and Danny A (non mover) at 47.
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Matt W (-10) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!
Show Them The Whole Thing :
In the bizarrest of bizarre weeks I spose it had to be a City fan to come out on top! Congrats to Mark Grey 38 (5) who just about edged out Donna E, Jazz S and Neil M. £20 to spend on some elastic for Joey B’s shorts then…
You Are Not Ready :
From zero to hero back to zero again – it’s been an eventful debut for Mark McDowell 9 (0) who racks up his second worst score of the week this season.
Correct Score of the Week :
Loads got Man U (what was Kranjcar doing???!) and loads got Wolves (3-1 speculators, I’ve got me eye on youse!). Amazingly, Simon L / Mark G / Greg E all got Barnsley’s 9 pointer and Karl C / Jazz S / Danny A got PNE’s 7 pointer. However, correct score of the week and new overall best prediction goes to Howard Thomas for his Dundee Utd 2 Rangers 1.
Bet of the Week :
I knew it was going to be a bad week when I scoffed at this and wasted a fiver on Southampton, Palace and Arsenal. Olly O’s well thought out double on Charlton and Watford now has us sitting pretty on +£28.75. Over to you Mr Grey, no pressure…

Cheers,
Pab

We’re back on an even keel – next up to try and put us in profit is Week 6 winner Olly “Gunnar” Osmond…

As far as the Bet of the Week is concerned, how about a win double for Charlton and Watford. Both have obviously struggled, but looking at their opposition (City and Boro) I feel it might just be the right time to register a win each.

At odds of around 4.75/1 you’ll have £28.75 in your pocket, if it comes in – happy punting!

Result: Win! We’re now £28.75 to the good.

L13 Winter 2006 : Week 6 Roundup

Written by

Best :
Top o’ the tree is still Steve T who has an 11 point lead over yours truly ;-)
Bad :
Rock bottom is Will O (-3) who will now be ridiculed mercilessly by Grunwald FC contingent…but he’s only 1 point away from Jon A.
Better :
Highest climber is Greg E (+11) who moves up to 19th. Olly O (+9) up to 10th and Lisa G (+7) are also worth a mention.
Bitter :
Longest drop goes to Scott A (-14) down to 27th. Karl C (-8) on 31st, Ben McK (-8) on 35th and Clare N (-8) on 45th are not worth mentioning. But I will.
Close & A Cigar! :
No scores sent in this week but Ciaran McG (+3) is now sitting in 11th spot.
Spotters :
Simon L (+4) on 17th, Julian F (+1) on 23rd, Michelle F (+6) on 39th and Danny A (+2) on 47th.
Cup 2007 :
At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Tapiwa M is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!
Word of Warning :
A disturbing number of players are putting in 3-0 and 3-1 for over a third of their scores – carpeting bombing is frowned upon here at PAS Towers and either the individuals will be banned or the above scores will lose their bonus point status. Discuss.
Wayne Roooooooney :
Well Steve T didn’t win (but he was close!) this week but Olly Osmond 31 (4) did! Will you share the &pound20 with your brothers or put it towards the train fare up to the Glazer Bowl? You decide… and well done sir!
And Smith Must Score :
Oh dear. A bit like the Watford striker and maybe Mr Benjani down at Fratton, Scott Aslett and Clare Nevin (again!) will have their heads in their hands pondering over a weekly total of 8 (0)…
Correct Score of the Week :
Olly O / Jazz S (remember him?) / Mark McD all got Pompey’s 3-1 win over Reading but best weekly score and new “Correct Score of the Season” goes to Greg Edwards his prediction of the Dingles beating PNE 3-2 at Turf Moor on Friday.
Bet of the Week :
The “Mystery Pro-Punter” came up trumps and wiped the slate clean for us with his Chelsea/Sunderland double – did you get on??! Next up to the oche is Olly O.
What We’ve Noticed This Week :
The deification of Thierry is definitely waning (yay!) – pies at Ashburton Grove are now a “giveaway” £3 – there were actual tackles and physical contact in the Man City V Boro game (yay! again) – City are a massive club actually, 16th in the world for turnover don’tcha know! – was Paddy O’Kenny cleverly trying to second guess Fat Frank’s shot taking a deflection? – Sheff U are rubbish…

Cheers,
Pab
