L13 Winter 2009 : Week 9 – Roundup…

“Bravado”:
The man who loved a 0-0 last season but seems to have shunned them wholesale this season (wonder why that is??!) has concentrated in putting in proper scores and come up trumps! Jon Allin 31 (4) wins this week’s £20 – Green Army!

“B*stard child of guilt and shame”:
He’s had to watch Denmark AND Portugal qualify for the World Cup from Sweden’s group and now Anders Hoglund 9(0) has a low score to deal with. At least RVP is on fire for Arsenal though… Eh? what? Noooooooooooooo…

Correct Score of the Week:
How on earth… 5 got Brentford 2 Millwall 2 and 5 got Greece 0 Ukraine 0. Jon A & me got a lovely 9 pointer from Bristol Rovers 3 Carlisle 2, Rob H got 5 points from Northampton 0 Grimsby 0 and Francesca F somehow threw a couple of dice (no, really) to come up with Rochdale 2 Chesterfield 3! We have a new best correct score of the season cos this week’s best correct score goes to Savan Arora who seems to be collecting “bests” this season! Huddersfield 6 Wycombe 0 is the new front runner purely for the fact if you watched the game you’ll know it should have been 12!

Bet of the Week:
Oh man……

Table News:

“Some things will never be different”:
No change at the top save Neil Meredith now having a 4 point lead over Rich L – the chasing peloton is now headed up by Jon T… and ominously includes Jazz S!

“Are you hoping for a miracle?”:
No change at the bottom save Paul Jenner now being 2 points behind Wayne C in the wooden spoon avoidance race…

“Running on”:
Highest climbers this week are Mark De-Ste-Croix (again!) and Dan Pelgrom up a whopping 15 places to 7th & 42nd respectively. Honourable mentions for Jon A (+12), Louise B (+11), Pete B (+13) Saven A (+9) and me! (+9)

“Better luck next time”:
Falling furthest this week is Anders Hoglund down 13 places to 49th – dishonourable mentions for Jason M (-9), Catriona J (-9), Greg E (-11), Jamie S (-11) and Mark McD (-10)

Spot Prizers:
OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Will O is on the promos at 11th(+3), Ben McK is at 13th (-4), Tony S is at 17th (+1), Mark S is on the BotW 23rd (-2), Francesca F is at 27th (+2), Pete B is at 33rd (+13), Dan P is on the BotW 42nd (+15), Julian F is at 44th (+1), Dave McS is at 52nd (+1), Olly O is at 57th (-3), Matt D is on the BotW 65th (+1), Scott A is at 67th (+1) and Wayne C is at 70th (-3)

PAS Cup 2010:

And Another Thing:
Think Thierry has a future with the GAA?

L13 Winter 2009 : Week 7 – Roundup…

“Your sky all hung with jewels”:
He travels all round Europe supporting the mighty Reds and he’ll continue to do so in the Europa Cup this season (‘Ey! ‘Ey!). Another £20 then, for his second weekly win of the season, won’t go amiss for Neil Meredith 40(7)
“Up against your will”:
What’s worst? Getting ID’d in a Wetherspoon’s when you’re 24 years old or scoring 9(0) this week? Neil Osborne was nowhere near Preston for pre-gig drinks before the Enemy played on Saturday but Neil Birchall was….
Correct Score of the Week:
If only Tomas had stuck that chance away before Jody scored… 13 got Toon 3 Peterboro 1, 8 got the tutu at Oakwell and 5 (grrrrr!) got Wolves 1 Arsenal 4. Matt W & Ben McK got Blackburn 3 Pompey 1, Greg E got the only 0-0 available(in Edinburgh), Neil M got Hamilton 2 Motherwell 2, Mark De S C got off to a flyer with Bristol R 2 Southampton 3 and Mark McD got an equally good nine pointer in the South Wales derby. Every week I laugh at my mum when she sends her scores in but she has the last laugh this week – Patricia Fernandez gets this weeks best correct score and the new front runner for best correct score of the season with her Liverpool 2 Birmingham 2.
Bet of the Week:
Another near miss thanks to Celtic – Neil M is playing again to win cash for himself and BotW spot prize slot 23.

Table News:

“…a magic world”:
All change at the top! Rich L is knocked into second by Neil Meredith courtesy of 3 correct scores. Matt G continues the chase in third…
“Fate”:
All change at the bottom! Rich G is off the wooden spoon position, replaced by Paul Jenner who is propping up the rest courtesy of 2 correct scores away from Dave N.
“Through the thick and thin”:
Highest climber this week is Mark De-Ste-Croix up a whopping 22 places to 22nd. Honourable mentions for Ben McK (+17), Gareth M (+19), Greg E (+12) Ben H (+17), Patricia F (+19) and Olly O (+13)
“Too late to beg…”:
Falling furthest this week is Julian Fernandez down 18 places to 45th – dishonourable mentions for Mark F (-15), Neil O (-17), Savan A (-13), Stephen P (-12) and Martin S (-12)

L13 Winter 2009 : Week 6 – Roundup…

“…making plenty cash”:
He seems to mirror the form of his beloved Forest and at the moment Tony Bowley 33(6) is in a rich vein of it! Congrats Mr B, at least £20 on its way to you to spend on a corner flag to taunt Derby fans with then…
“…a dose of thrush you got while you were licking railings”:
For most of us another shocking week – especially shocking for Dan Pelgrom & Rich Graeme 9(0)
Correct Score of the Week:

Bet of the Week:
Another wipe out and Paddy Power mocks our pathetic efforts thus far… next up is Tony B playing to win cash for himself and BotW spot prize slot 65.

L13 Winter 2009 : Week 4 – Roundup…

Life’s A Beach:
He may be part of that band of LFC supporters that aren’t actually from the city (no, he’s not Norwegian – try Runcorn) but it really hurts when his team surrender the title so early for the, ooh, what is it now, 20th year on the trot? However, winning this week’s £20 should keep Neil Meredith 43(8) in cans of Skol for a good few weeks to help soften the blow…well, he’s not gonna be spending it on airfare to Madrid either is he?!
’Ssup B*tch!:
We at PAS Towers are having a particularly traumatic football season both on and off the PAS pitch – Dave Nicklin 8(0) has now taken it down another notch…
Correct Score of the Week:
I thought it was a bad week… 12 got WBA 3 Reading 1, 7 had the Dingle derby ding-dong at Ewood, 5 got the Arsenal 3-1 and 4 got the nil-nil between Leicester & Derby. Jon A / Mark McD / Will O were rewarded for their faith in the Villa and Mark Sh & Ben McK got the 1-3 Saints win at Oldham. Lisa G got off to a flyer with Scunthorpe 3 Sheff U 1 and the Missus (F) managed conjure up four points from Everton 1 Wolves 1. But, best score this week goes to Vim Gupta for his “I know the SPL” Celtic 0 Motherwell 0.
Bet of the Week:
This is isn’t going to plan as we’ve yet to make money for any BotW spot prize slot or a weekly winner – can the Wool baaa-ck something decent? He’ll be playing for BotW spot prize slot 23
