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

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

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

Good :

Nearly 100 points in two weeks, of course he’s top! Steve Tagger now has an eight point lead and the Northern Jazz title…

Bad :

Bless! He’s away in Oz oblivious to the fact he’s bottom of the pile. Welcome home Danny Ashworth you’re two points away from spoon safety…

Plain :

Highest climber this week was Villa-ette Donna E up 15 places to 23rd. Others of note were Steve T (+10) to 1st, Dave McS (+8) to 9th, Karl C (+14) to 22nd and Martin S (+9) to unlucky 33rd

Ugly :

Biggest faller this week was Citeh-boy Mark G down 13 places to 41st (see! Lisa was right!). Others to mock were Mark J B (-11) to 29th, Howard T (-11) to 36th, Ben A (-11) to 34th and the missus (-10) to 45th (keeping your brother company are we luv?)

Close & A Cigar! :

Mizz Pamela R (-4) drops out of the Top Ten for the first time this season.

Spotters :

Mr. 2-0 (-1) on 17th, Donna E (+15) on 23rd, Simon S (+2) on 39th and Anders H (+2) on 47th

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Tapiwa M is ( +2 ) to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Plucky little clubs :

A week in football is a long time – he won his first weekly prize, had a baby and now he’s won his second weekly. Congrats again to Steve Tagger 52 (6) who has posted a staggering 99 points in two weeks! Another £20 coming your way Stephen – put it in the baby fund mate…

Massive clubs :

He missed the first few weeks and he might be advised to miss a few more. Jon Allin 15 (0) you’re having a ’mare son!

Correct Score of the Week :

Steve T / Greg E / Moi got Sheff Wed 3 QPR 2, Steve T / Donna E got Southend 1 Ipswich 3, Lisa G / Matt W got Aberdeen 3 Dundee Utd 1, Matt G got Inverness C T 3 Falkirk 2 and Steve T got WBA 3 Wolves O. But, looking for his 2nd successive Correct Score of the Season, Scott Aslett is the man to beat with his St Mirren 2 Rangers 3.

Bet of the Week :

Steve T was late in getting his BotW across (something to do with X Factor and cricket – weirdo!) so I took up the challenge and took another £5 away from the tally – soz! We’re down £10 now, but hopefully Steve T will bail us out on the back of his golden run. We’ll see…

Some Fings :

All the money is finally in (Greg E, you still owe £2.50!). The new webpage won’t be ready til 2007 (Wembley? Eh? Oh…)

Thanx to Neil T for flying in specially to discuss plans for the 1st PAS awards party over a “few” pints on Saturday afternoon…

When you send your scores over, make sure you’ve saved them first yeah? A blank scoresheet only gets you the 2-0 score!

Arsenal are the best team in the world…..

Cheers,
Pab

PS- you may remember Mr 2-0 won a spot prize last season and as he’s a benchmark as opposed to a real person we can’t give him the money. On Friday we donated his £20 to a worthwhile local cancer charity so it’s gone to a good home and very much appreciated.

Tom Tom :

You’ve heard of Northern Soul, well, get ready for Northern Jazz! Neil Birchall is setting a breakneck pace at the top and threatening to do a Mr Sian. His lead is now 9 points from Richard L

Scott Scott :

The Swedes may be turning out top notch music at the minute but the predicting fraternity is all a bit Macclesfield. Anders Hoglund is propping up the rest 4 points from Danny B

Found My Thrill :

Obviously Steve Tagger is this weeks highest climber, up a big Yorkshire-man-pride-size 33 places to 11th. Hot also this week were Dan R (+26), Ciaran McG (+19), Olly O (+21) and Neil M (+19)

Road To Nowhere :

Obviously Dave Nicklin is this weeks biggest faller, down a big Geordie-title-hope-size 20 places to 29th. Cold also this week were Jamie S (-11), Greg E (-17) and Will O (-13)

Close & A Cigar! :

That man Steve T again – how apt.

Spotters :

Dave McS 17th (+7), Matt G 23rd (-9), Tapiwa M 39th (+2) and Danny A 47th (+1)

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Ben A is (-7) to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Super Cally :

A very high scoring week indeed – a trio of late 30 scores and a couple of level 42’s (Dan R & a rejuvenated Clare N!). But, this weeks winner may have a double celebration this week cos he’s won the £20 AND he should have a lickle baby very soon as well – congrats to Steve Tagger 47 (7). Scant consolation maybe for seeing your team lose 0-4 at home but will he spend the money on Pampers or some krunk juice? Pop yo’ collar!

Chelsea Keeper :

Yet another man to see a home defeat this weekend and it was made all the worse as he only scored 11 (0). Dave Nicklin “stand up/pogo/take of yer shoes if you love P-A-S!”

Correct Score of the Week :

Nothing unique this week so Ben A is still clutching that Lady…lots o’ peeps got Wigan – Man U, Arsenal, Dundee U – Celtic (amazingly!) and Plymouth – Derby.

Bet of the Week :

Week 3 winner Jamie S had a dismal week all round (see table later) as his Reading 1 Chelsea 1 punt fell by the wayside thanks to a goal line clearance in the last minute. £5 down again and next up is the T-Dogg (woof!)

Some Fings :

Why does Gary Teale wear contact lenses?? He hasn’t got any eyes! Just hollows that make Nick Skelington look like Marty Feldman…

Why was Ronaldo’s showboat goal for Portugal ruled out in the week?? That cost me seven points mate…

Why didn’t I check I had 1-2 and not 1-3 before cheering on that Norwegian poxy pixie paperboy on Saturday morning?

And why did I also change my Kilmarnock and Motherwell scores as well? I could’ve been a contender! I could have been somebody!

Sorry. I’m glad I listened to Mark J Brown’s wild generalisation that “Plymouth win ALL their home games 3-1”. Not only eight points in the bag but I lumped on @ 20/1 too! A right touch!

Cheers,
Pab
