Fat chance…

“You’re The Best Thing”:

It’s shaping up to be a tight season judging by the first four weeks’ scores <puffs cheeks, reassured that being 69th is “ok”> and the “bunching” was a real feature in Week 4…

13 punters scored thirty points or more (even Gary B risked a nosebleed this week!) with seven players laying claims to the £20 weekly prize – a couple had the 4-1 derby 9 pointer and four more had Man City only winning 3-1, which must have really rankled…

Ric P was almost there, but a 96th minute goal for Luton ultimately ended his challenge.

It was left wide open then for Dave Crisp 35 (5) to bag victory – two five pointers courtesy of Huddersfield & Celtic was topped off with 95th minute Forest equaliser securing the vital correct score to see off his rivals.

And if you’re feeling miffed about the aforementioned last minute spoiling 4-1, Dave had 3-1 too…

Congrats Crispy – you wouldn’t consider changing up for 20 x £1 coins and luzzing them at Granit on Sunday would you?!

Asking for a friend…

“Walls Come Tumbling Down”:

It was snuggly in the nether regions too this week!

20 of us failed to make the 20 point mark with only 4 PASers failing to register a correct score.

One didn’t get into double figures though.

Bijay Lama 9 (0) i think you’re in a for a ribbing on your What’s App group mate…

Correct Score of the Week:

Meh…most popular score was Toon’s 2-1 win over Brighton– 28 of youse got that!

Twenty-one doffed a cap to Huddersfield’s 3-0 deconstruction of Posh

19 were well away with the 1-3 away win for Celtic

Five got Dundee Utd’s “Desmond” with Hearts

5(!!) had City’s merciless deconstruction of Man Yoo

Sam A, Rowan M & Ric P obviously guessed Swansea would beat Coventry 3-1

Simon Linds & Justin C lapped up the injury time joy of Norwich 1 Brentford 3

Neil C believed in Blackpool. A 0-1 kinda belief…

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Howard Thomas for his your-name’s-not-down-you’re-not-coming-in inspired, Lincoln City 3 Sheffield Wednesday 1!

Bet of the Week:

Chris Dixon was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 3 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Nope…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – hmmmmppphhh!

Ric Pardoe is at 33rd this week….

Ricardo, I need your National League leading inspired 3 team selection by Friday, please!

We need a winner…no pressure!

 Just say “no”…

“The War Song”:

It was a lively Week 3 right up to, erm, Saturday 4.45pm.

A tightly contested field was bunched together as 14 punters reached & breached the 30 point mark.

But only 5 really could have won it. Well, maybe just Charlie H. Or maybe Norman L, Dan M & Lee T might have nicked it.

But then came the 89th & 98th minute drama at Bournemouth & Coventry respectively…

That earned the 5 points that catapulted Kate Slee 40 (7) right to the top, and there she stayed to grip hold of the weekly £20 prize.

Well done Katie – you did it (again!) <winking emoji>

“Do You Really Want to Hurt Me”:

Oooof!

Nearly half of us failed to notch up more than 20 points this week.

Five of those suffered the ignominy of collecting zero correct scores…

Those feeling the pain particularly pressing?

Greg Fleming 6 (0) spared the blushes of Luke S and put the family honour in disrepute (again!) <fuming emoji>

Correct Score of the Week:

Bleak…most popular score was Aberdeen’s 1-1 draw with Dundee Utd– 26 of youse got that!

Four had Ross County’s 3-1 win over St Johnstone

Chris W made us all green by happening upon WBA 0-2 Swansea

Pete C believed in Stevie G. A 0-2 kinda belief…

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to George Triantafillou for his it-was-all-academic inspired, Oxford United 4 Cambridge United 2!

Bet of the Week:

Mike Krasnowski was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Wipeout!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – oops!

Chris Dixon is at 45th this week….

Christophe, I need your Toon inspired 3 team treble by Friday, please!

Will you go Mackem?…no pressure!

Table News:

 The national outdoor advertising campaign is going well…

“Money”:

I’m on my first holiday in all them years so I’m just a little blissed out… here are the numbers!

Three players scored 30 points or more.

One isn’t real (well they are, but they’re not in PAS terms)

Tony M & Pete H narrowly missed out to Predictz 33 (6) so that means a homeless person will be getting £20 this week (if I can find one in Cornwall!) – isn’t PAS just lovely sometimes!

“Losing My Way”:

We were meant to leave MCR on Friday, but no. Saturday we waited 2 hours at Piccadilly but all the trains got cancelled. Sunday we got the 10.30 train that terminated in Shrewsbury. We finally got to Newquay, via Newport & Bristol, at 21.30. Then there was no heating or hot water…here’s the numbers!

15 players scored fifteen points or less.

Seven didn’t get a correct score.

One didn’t make double figures…

Sam Arora 9 (0) you are this week’s whipping boy!

Correct Score of the Week:

Oh my…most popular score was Blackpool’s 1-1 draw at Cardiff City – 26 of youse got that!

Twelve just knew Doncaster would score against Sheff Wed for a 1-3

5 nailed Stoke 2 Birmingham 2

Patricia F, Norman L & Debbie L had Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Norwich

Matthew M & Dan C somehow stumbled on Leeds 2 Man Utd 4 (how????)

Luke S saw his typo come good on the game at Dundee Utd

Luke S (again) nabbed the form book upsetting, Fulham 1 Huddersfield 2

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Patricia Fernandez for her-I-just-knew-Spurs-would-come-good-for-me-one-day inspired, Man City 2 Spurs 3!

Bet of the Week:

Sam Osmond was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He won…sort’ve!

So, £0.93 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – not the best start, but it’s a start!

Gareth Morgan & Mike Krasnowski are at 60th this week….Mike was first out the hat though!

Mr K, I need your Canadian flavoured 3 team treble by Friday, please!

Will you go ice hockey?…no pressure!

Table News:

“Disco Yes”:

Simon Lindquist stays top, 4 points ahead of Anders H who in turn is six points ahead of Tony M in third…

Six crashed the Top Ten!

“Beautiful Escape”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 49 places is Predictz – honourable mentions go to Pete H (+29), Rich  L (+25), Kate S (+25), Andy C (+25), Damian H (+22), and Tony M (+20)

 Jack The Lad didn’t muddy the waters last season…can you take his crown?

“Believe”:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Arsenal again – PAS!

Although given the sharpness of this update, I could’ve waxed lyrical about “trusting the process” and how karma works (Granit! Jose is on the phone…) and gone into the absurdness of that new handball rule <sniggers, thinking of OT…>

But I won’t…

I’ll cut to the chase as it was all about the Swedes this week – and, they deserve a break from pillaging, right?

One Viking quite clearly not in the long boat this weekend was Simon Lindquist 47 (6) who deftly mashed a compatriot just like Hagar The Horrible!

Poor Anders H has Bournemouth’s Siriki Dembele to growl at for denying him a weekly win courtesy of that 95th minute goal in Blackpool.

So, congrats Mr L, £20 winging its way back to you ASAP – should secure you one of those natty horned helmets that your ancestors didn’t actually wear…*cheeky tongue out emoji*

“Polyesterday”:

Did you score 30 points + this week? Wow, we’re in awe…

Thirty one of you managed that, but 10 punters couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week  – and eleven couldn’t muster a correct score!

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Mr 2-0 though eh?

Ahem…

Five disciples of the blanket score also not feeling any joy are Tom Wooldridge-Stevens, Paul Henshaw, Neil Critchlow , Alex Rossi & Dan Hogwood  9 (0).

@Dan – you’re suspended from your duties pending a Board enquiry… *rolls eyes emoji*

Correct Score of the Week:

That, mis amigos, is a strong start…most popular score was Bournemouth’s late late 1-2 win over Blackpool– 23 of youse got that!

Twenty one had Celtic’s merciless deconstruction of Raith Rovers

19 just knew Norwich wouldn’t score against Man City for a 0-4

Sixteen were well away with the 1-3 away win for Hibs

13 got West Ham’s “Desmond”(RIP) with Leicester City

Eleven were all over the Scottish Cup 0-3 to Dundee

9 doffed a cap to Rangers’ 0-3 deconstruction of Annan Athletic

Four had Swansea’s 3-1 win over Bristol City

John J, Justin C & Dom W banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Forest & Stoke

Jason M, Paul C & Predictz got the dull-all at that bus stop in Hounslow

David G & Rowan M celebrated the bore draw between Port Vale & Northampton

Mark J B & Tim P got Birmingham 3 Luton 0

George T was grateful for the 0-1 Liverpool win over Burnley

David G (again!) turned up WBA 0 Sheff Utd 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Luke S secretly had his prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at the Kirklees Stadium

David G (again! again!) believed in Fat Frank. A 3-0 kinda belief…

I said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for my little brother approving Portsmouth 4 Doncaster 0

However, this week’s best correct score, and therefore Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Pete Clarke for his I-just-knew-there-was-a-nine-pointer-on-offer inspired, Reading 2 Coventry City 3!

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 83rd will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 60th in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 33rd in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 83rd…yeah?!

Good.

So, youngster Sam Osmond is first up. (ask your Dad first Sam!)

Sammy, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be a home, away or draw. It doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or dogs! Or fighting crickets! But not cricket…that’s a step too far!

Let’s get off to a winning start for a change.

No pressure lad…
