Call it off Arsene…

 

“For The First Time In Forever”:

So, the “Beast From T’East” really put pay to the fixture list this weekend, and boy, did some of us suffer! What? Eh? Oh…

I’ll start again.

In a week that saw only 9 games postponed, 25 players managed to score 20 points or more!

Three of them even topped 30 points.

Very impressive stuff.

Julian F was the early pacesetter only to see Clare T sitting pretty on a massive thirty-four points with one game to go.

But, with literally one minute to go in said match, Clare’s faves cruelly snatched her moment from her grasp and put it snug in another Red’s mitt.

Yep, Martin Stafford 38 (6) must have been happier than a Spurs fan this week as his ridiculous Monday night prediction landed just in the nick of time!

£20 then to you Mr S, well done sir – should keep you in pies for a while eh?!

 

 

“Frozen Heart”:

“Beast From The East”? Snowmaggedon? Pah! PAS prevailed and then some! What? Eh? Oh…

I’ll start again.

In a week that saw 9 whole games postponed, 29 players couldn’t even manage to score 15 points!

Three of them couldn’t even top ten points.

Cold.

Paul C & high flying Stephen P scraped a frosty 8 points.

That left Tony Fisher 6 (0) frozen in last place.

Brrrrrrrrrrr…..

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow…most popular score was Watford’s 1-0 win over WBA– 15 of youse got that!

Fourteen got Celtic’s 3-0 deconstruction of Greenock Morton

10 got Rangers’ 4-1 win over Falkirk

8(!) just knew Arsenal would score against Brighton for a 2-1

Seven got the dull-all at St Mary’s

4 got the 1-3 Preston win over Bolton

Martin S & John J somehow guessed Palace 2 Man U 3 (how?????)

Brett A got City’s 1-0 thrashing of Chelsea

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Julian Fernandez for his Friday-night-flyer inspired, Middlesbro 3 Leeds 0!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

And guess what?!

 

Wipeout!

 

45% Bolton  V PNE – looked good for 77 minutes…

43.75% Motherwell V Hearts – looked good for 85 minutes…

43.75% Derby V Fulham – didn’t look good from 22 minutes…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th – a clean sweep then!

 

 

Table News:

“In Summer”:

Dan Hogwood stays top now 12 points ahead of Rowan M who, in turn, is one point ahead of Clare T in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

“Reindeers Are Better Than People”: 

Tony Fisher slips one place to the basement ten points behind Paul S who, in turn, is 1 correct score off Mike K…

 

 

“Fixer Upper”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 57 places, is Martin Stafford – honourable mentions go to Julian F (+41), Frankie F (+29), Matt W (+24), Neil T (+20) and Danny A (+20)

PAS Champions League 2017/18 Knockout Stages:

Last 16 2nd leg games were meant to kick off in Week 4, but the adverse weather conditions meant we didn’t have 30 games to predict.

And that just isn’t fair, is it.

So, we’ve moved it to Week 5 instead.

We’re nice like that…

We like to make sure you’re paying attention…  ;  )

Anders H – breaking Brit Curling hearts…

 

“My Philosophy”: So that’s me put firmly in my place this week…

But before you mock, only 9 people scored 30 points or more in Week 2 – so there!

Justin C produced an inspired performance (39 pts) after his horror debut last week and Dan H celebrated receiving his wooden spoon this week but notching up a very creditable 42 points.

So, don’t give up kids, all the high scorers will mess up sooner or later…!

After smashing in 9 points from 2 of the last 3 games this week, Simon Buxton 47 (8) romped away with the £20 prize and matched my “top score” to boot – not fair!

But well played Mr B.

 

 

“The Bridge Is Over”: Gawd! Can you imagine being a former European champion that’s now rubbish?

No, not Forest.

Try Gareth Morgan 7 (0)

Our serial CL botherer spared the blushes of Rich L, Mike K and Bijay L who also managed a sub double-digit score!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

And bang! Back down to earth…most popular score was Norfolk’s 1-1 draw with Suffolk  – 22 of youse got that!

19 got the 3-1 Seagulls win over Coventry

15 got the thrilling Chelsea 4 Hull City 0

8 got Leeds Utd’s “Desmond” with Bristol City

7 got the dull-all at the Pirelli Stadium

Sam A, Neil O & Norman L obviously guessed Southend would beat Pompey 3-1

Julian F & Debbie L got the bore draw between Newport & Notts Co

Danny A got Shrewsbury 0 Rotherham 1

Mark J B believed in Leicester. A 1-0 kinda belief…

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season (probably ever!), goes to Clare Templeton for her there’s-a-new-David-Healy-in-town inspired, Wigan 1 Man City 0! Flame on!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

And guess what?!

We lost! Not the most auspicious of starts then eh?

 

48.81% Norwich V Ipswich – tick

47.62% Fulham V Villa – cross

47.62% Birmingham V Millwall – crosser…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd –   : (

 

 

Table News:

“Step Into A World”:  Dan Hogwood moves up 7 places to go 8 points ahead of Stephen P who in turn is two points ahead of Simon Lq in third.

 

Loads crashed the Top Ten.

 

“Criminal Minded”:  Ooops! Mike Krasnowski goes down nine places to the bottom of the pile one point behind Rich W who in turn is 2 points off James C…

 

 

“Outta Here”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 69 places is Justin Corliss – honourable mentions go to Simon B (+64), Danny A (+47), Alex T  (+36), Julian F (+33) and Mark J B (+30)

 

“Why Is That?”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 56 places are Gareth Morgan & Bijay Lama – dishonourable mentions go to Rich L (-49), Bry D (-48), Paul C (-43), Tony M (-38) and Paul S (-33)

PAS Champions League 2017/18 Knockout Stages:

We had 3 successful jokers! 2 really successful jokers! 3 hammerings! 2 heartbreakers (inc. 1 correct score one!)! And, 3 away wins!

Someone won their game with 22 points & 1 lost theirs with 26 points!

Everything to play for in all the return legs then…or is there?

“Granit Xhaka would be an odd presence in any Premier League midfield, a paradox of a player who can look absolutely miles off the pace one moment and only a few miles off the pace the next. What is he doing playing for the seventh richest club in the world?” – Barney Ronay, he knows y’know…

 

“White Love”: I for one got proper found out for a 2nd week in a row (and that ref who helped me in Week 1 scuppered me this week!).

And I wasn’t alone – only 7 players managed 30 points or more this week!

Gary B did his best to finally win a week after 20 odd years of trying with 2 (count ’em!) 10 point predictions, dark horse Rowan M continued his fine form of late too – only for an 82nd minute Cardiff winner to hand James Challinor 39 (6) the £20 prize money!

Well done James, that’s worth a tweet eh?!

 

 

“Breakdown”: Were you one of the 40 who couldn’t muster up twenty points this week?

Brutal eh?!

Too many bad eggs to mention but Tony F 9 (0) and Paul H 10 (0) were particularly rotten.

However, Norman Lee 8 (0)  got properly scrambled…

Face. His. On. etc etc

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Would you Adam & Believe it…most popular score was Burton’s 1-1 draw with Millwall  – 17 of youse got that!

13 got the five point  Bournemouth 2-2 Newcastle Utd

Twelve just knew West Ham would score against Liverpool for a 4-1

4 nailed Kilmarnock 2 Hibs 2

Clare T & Chris D got the 3 goal demolition of poor, disgraceful, exasperating Arsenal

Neil C got the dull-all at Carrow Road

James C got the thrilling Sunderland 3 Middlesbro 3

Gary B made us all green by happening upon Sheff Wed 2-4 Aston Villa

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Gary Blackburne (again!) for his I-threw-a-dice-for-my-scores inspired, Reading 3 Derby 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions…

And guess what?!

We lost! Again! Darn!

 

58.14% Man Utd  V Chelsea – damn that Romelu

46.51% Brighton V Swansea – Eh?!!

46.51% Bournemouth V Newcastle – that’s more like it!

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – at least we’re consistent!

 

 

Table News:

“Why Don’t You Take Me”:  Dan Hogwood stays top still 8 points ahead of Stephen P who in turn is four points ahead of Rowan M in third.

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

“Fallen”:  Ouch! Rich Walsh goes down one to the bottom two points behind Tony F who in turn is 2 points off Matt W…

 

 

“There Goes The Cure”:  Highest climber this week, up a whopping 50 places is James Challinor – honourable mentions go to Chris D (+47), Gary B (+39), Pete B  (+32), Neil C (+30) and Clare T (+28)

 

“Transient Truth”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 30 places is Norman Lee – dishonourable mentions go to Tony D (-27), Julian F (-26), John J (-23), Olly O (-23) and Paul H (-23)

You don’t want this…

 

“Lucid”:  Do you remember Nottm Forest ending half of one season unbeaten and then carrying on the next to rack up a total of 42 matches?

Well, don me in a green sweatshirt and call me “yung man”!

I had a proper rant & character assassination lined up for the now departed Theo Walcott…

But y’know what?

I’m better than that!

Yep – off the consolation Week 13 win last season, somehow, i’ve recorded back-to-back PAS weekly wins!

“Pab 47 (8)”

Luvvin’ that.

And for once, a last minute game changing incident went my way to earn me my £20 prize.

So thankyou Charlie Adam for your penalty kick howler.

Or rather, thank you Bobby Madley for not awarding Stoke another penalty straight after…

Spare a thought for Darren McC 43 (7) & Simon Lq (née Lindq) 45 (7)

Scandalous, innit!

 

 

“Keep Walking”: What a start to the season.

In a week where 13 people scored more than 35 points, fourteen more couldn’t even manage twenty!

Newcomer Justin C had a debut to unremember with 15 points and IACGMOOH’s Chris D could only muster fourteen…

But propping up the rest in Week 1 is Joe Massey 13 (1)

Now that really is a scandal…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Is it gonna be one of those season’s again?…most popular score was Barnsley’s 1-1 draw with Wednesday – 33 of youse got that!

21  got the five-point 3-0 between Chelsea & WBA

N-n-n-nineteen got the 3 goal demolition of Brora Rangers (by Kilmarnock)

8 nailed Greenock Morton 3 Dumbarton 0

Six smashed in a 3-0 via Hearts hosting St Johnstone

4 pulled a plum with Everton 3-1 C Palace

Tony F (welcome!) obviously guessed Hull City would win 0-2 at Forest

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and obv best correct score of the season, goes to Will Oppong for his i’m-the-real-deal-recruiter-for-PAS inspired, Aberdeen 4 Dundee United 2! Big up!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 90 odd of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost! About par for the course for us…

 

56.25% Barnsley V Sheff Wed – spot on people!

46.25% Swansea V Burnley – be funny if Burnley went down now…

37.50% Spurs V Arsenal – Teeth. Wailing. Gnashing etc etc

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – hmmppph! Fear not though kids….
