“Way up high above the sky all that beauty passes by”:

Don’t believe in PMA? Check this – “Enough is enough time to get more than one correct score, here goes… Positive thoughts and all that!” Dunno about you but I’m going try that next week – Neil Osborne 46 (10!) cleaned up in a high scoring week for most (can you guess who didn’t do well yet?!) and only a “wrong” fixture denied him best weekly total for the season! You can’t have everything Neil, but you can have £20…

“It’s time for us to go”:

It’s hard enough coming from Wigan, you don’t need any more grief do you? Martin Stafford 10 (0) props up the rest of us this week…

Correct Score of the Week:

I have no idea how people got correct scores this week – most popular score was Barnsley 2 Doncaster Rovers 0 – 27 of you got that score!

21(!) got Man City’s 3-1 against Newcastle, 7 got the 0-0 between Sunderland and The Cottagers and 9 got Middlesbro 2 Blackpool 2…

11 got Southampton 3 Brighton H A 0 and 4 got Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2

Craig B got the 3-0 at the Walkers Stadium and Sean P got Nottm For 3 Ipswich 2.

Frankie F somehow managed to get Rangers 0 St Johnstone 0 and this normally would have been THE score…

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season thus far (for the sheer drama, if anything!), goes to Jez Hopper for his amazing Wigan Athletic 3 Blackburn Rovers 3.

Table News

“If you want to go with me I’ll take you there”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top of the league, but his lead has been cut to a not-so-massive 14 points by Norman L, who in turn, is 1 point ahead of Paul V in third. I think our winner will come from this elite triumbirate… but a certain Jazz S is on the rise!

“We have time (In my dreams)”:

Jon Tofeili stays bottom of the pile now only 2 points behind Michelle F, who in turn, is 5 points behind Dan P.

“I have been there, I have seen it”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 30 places is Neil Osborne – honourable mentions go to Jazz S (+12), Paul C (+12), Sean P (+14), Mark S (+19), Danny B (+15), Matt G (+13) and Nick H (+13).

“We can chase…”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Martin Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Olly O (-10), Clare T (-11), Will O (-10), Reda A (-17), Eric A (-18) and yours truly (-11)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… still the chirpy magpie – Dave Nicklin.

Bet of the Week:

Now this is why BotW was invented – to earn attentive followers some money! This is from one enthused PASer – “Who ever does BotW next week needs to keep my money coming, won another £40 on the 4 aways 2 weeks on the bounce now!”

Yep, Sean P smashed in a 5/1 away team 4 timer to earn himself another £2.50 and BotW spot prize slot 49th £3.50. And, if it wasn’t for PNE being rubbish, we would’ve had the 5 homes in too! Excellent work – so no pressure then Neil O…

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Matchday 4 results attached – personally I think it’s an overrated, money making exercise for show offs…

And Another Thing:

A cautionary tale mes amigos…

“Completed my scoresheet on Wednesday night and been so busy and completely forgot to send it, thought I’d just check it to see what I could of got and had 43 (8) and waiting on a 2-1 spurs win… so completley gutted”

Cheers,
Pab

One game to go tonight – but it will be the 29th game as AFC Wimbledon didn’t play Southend as the scoresheet indicated!

Not sure how that one slipped thru (I blame the, ahem, BBC Sport website) but this game is null & void for Week 8.

Just back from the fog & no internet access of sarf London so no latest score updates I’m afraid – BotW looks promising though…

Cheers,
Pab

No PAS this week due to the Euro play-offs and the fact that we can’t pin a poppy on the scoresheets…

This means everything is pushed back by one week, so you’ll have festive Week 13 to look forward to!

“here we go again”:

“Fog on the, um, Tay’s all mine, all mine…” could be heard chiming from the streets of L3 as Sean Peers 40 (5) had the weather to thank for bagging him £20. Congrats Sean, but you might want to give it those more deserving – Mr Moyes?

“…isn’t that enough”:

After reaching the heady heights of the Top Ten, Sam Arora 13 (0) got a nosebleed…

Correct Score of the Week:

Not as many as you’d think got nabbed… – most popular score was The Toon’s 2-1 win over Everton – 28 of us got that!

26 got the 3-0 at Ashburton Grove, 8 got Peterboro’s 3-2 v Derby and 12 got Ranger’s (94th minute! Grrr!) 3-1 against Dundee United.

Seven got the 0-0 between St Mirren & Hearts, 6 got Wolves 3 Wigan 1and 13 got Sp*rs 1-3 at Craven Cottage.

Louise B & Reda A got Pompey’s win over Forest and Martin S nailed Swansea’s 0-0 away to Liverpool.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Gareth Morgan for his inspired, Aston Villa 3 Norwich City 2.

Table News:

“…i am in control”:

Shaun Backhouse maintains some fine form and stays top the league, extending his lead to a massive 23 points ahead of Paul V, who in turn, is 4 points ahead of Norman L in third.

“could it be that time has taken it’s toll”:

Jon Tofeili stays bottom of the pile now 13 points behind Jez H, who in turn, is 6 correct scores behind Josh H.

“…take you so far”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places is Sean Peers – honourable mentions go to Steve T (+12), Paul H (+13), Julian F (+17) and Simon Lindq (+15).

“no one lives there anymore”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 12 places is Ellen Fernandez/Mark Grey – dishonourable mentions go to Sam A (-11), Simon Linds (-11), Savan A (-11), Martin S (-11), Nick H (-11) and Francesca F (-11)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the chirpy magpie – Dave Nicklin.

Bet of the Week:

Get Carter! We won! Four aways in the bag @ 8/1 earned Paul C another £4 and BotW spot prize slot 33rd a nice little fiver! The Unstoppable nearly doubled up on his home selections only for the Tractor Boys to capitulate to the bottom placed side in the Championship – boo!

And Another Thing:

Unlike Blue Peter & Jimmy Saville (RIP) who tried, I DO read every comment sent in, and very nice most of them are too! This one though, is a classic…

And Caesar’s spirit, raging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice, Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of scores!

Cheers,
Pab

PS – congrats to Rowan M on the birth of his son Jack Huckleberry (middle name of the year??!) – shame he’ll grow up Citeh…

PPS – watch out for the return of the famous PAS Poll – coming your way soon!

“and you keep laughing and laughing and laughing”:

Strewth! A bizarre weekend of scores (even at Stamford Bridge – snigger!) put pay to most predictions this week. However, being upside down must aid predicting prowess as Paul Carter 38 (4) slammed home this week’s winning set of scores. £20 winging it’s way south Paul – Foster’s all round and even more prawns on the bar-b then cobber?!

“nothing is ever quite the same really”:

This week is why we give Mr 2-0 9(0) his 2-0 default score – ha! Not a week to miss submitting your scores…

Correct Score of the Week:

Some fine individual performances… – most popular score was Sp*r’s 1-3 win over QPR – 24 of you got that!

Howard T & Julian F got the 3-1 at Eastlands, 8 got Sunderland’s “Desmond” v Villa and 4 got Swansea’s 3-1 against Bolton Wanderers.

Six got the 3-1 between Derby & Portsmouth and 5 got Watford 3 Peterborough 2.

Richard H & Tony S got Palace’s draw with not-so-free-scoring Reading, Olly O & Steve T got Southampton’s 3-0 at St Marys, Paul C/Reda A/Gareth M got the three-two for W Ham over Leicester and Martin S nailed Brighton’s 0-0 at Birmingham.

Clare T got the bore draw between Shrewsbury & AFC Wimbledon and Anders H got Burnley 3 Blackpool 1

However, this week’s best correct score, and best of the season so far, goes to Paul Carter for his inspired and quite obviously lucky, Carlisle 3 Oldham 3.

Table News:

“and everything looks like a giant cupcake”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top the league and extends his lead to a massive 18 points ahead of Norman L who in turn is 3 points ahead of Jamie S in third.

“it’s time to turn into a frog yourself”:

Jon Tofeili plunges to the bottom of the pile now 8 points behind Ben H who in turn is 6 letters behind Pete B.

“and you can jump all the time and everywhere”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 35 places is Gareth Morgan – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+30), Jazz S (+12), Andy C (+12), Reda A (+27), Anders H (+13) and Stuart L (+11)

“so far away from me”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 16 places is Mr 2-0 – dishonourable mentions go to Louise B (-16), Matt G (-13), Neil B (-13), Vim G (-13), Mark J B (-13) and Stephen P (-14)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the reggae standard – Reda Allam.

Bet of the Week:

Oh so close! Again! The “draws” and “aways” went by the wayside as per normal, but only pesky bloomin’ Celtic let us down on the homes- boo! Next up is Mr Carter – get something Paul!

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

See attached for full round up by clicking on the “current” tab (unless like me, you’d rather look away…)

And Another Thing:

You’ll be getting a winter break! It’s been a long ol’ season already so Week 8 is cancelled and everything is pushed forward a week, meaning Week 13 will now be at Christmas time! Don’t say we never do anything for you now…

Cheers,
Pab

“Burst into heaven”:

How apt that in a weekend when Man Yoo have to take some overdue humiliation that a fellow Gooner wins some plaudits and prize money to help put that horrible day in August away to the back. Dave Crisp 33 (5) can now buy £20 of coins to throw at Theo until he’s bleeding to death and takes his clown sized feet away fast as his “legendary” pace will take him from our club – back to provincial lower league football where he belongs and maybe they’ll appreciate him clapping the crowd for 14 minutes when he’s dragged after another predictable, inept, watless performance. No need to ask if you want help throwing them mate! Congrats and viva Carl Jenkinson!

“…smash my dream of love”:

Even his beloved bet-busting Everton couldn’t cheer Sean Peers 9(0). Woeful. But hey, chin up son, every cloud n all that, you’re playing Man Utd next!

Correct Score of the Week:

Man it was desperate… most popular score was Blackburn’s 1-2 with Sp*rs – 19 of you got that!

6 got the 2-3 at London Road, 4 got Wolves’s 2-2 v Swansea and Sam A & Mahli G got West Brom’s 1-2 against Aston Villa.

Anders H & Will O got the 0-1 between Ipswich & Palace, 4 got Portsmouth 3 Doncaster Rovers 1, another 4 got the stalemate at Tannadice and 10 got the 3-1 between The Arsenal and The Cavemen.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to nobody as Julian F’s inspired and fairly obvious in my eyes as the Canaries are a spread betters dream, Liverpool 1 Norwich 1 was some how matched by Francesca F (courtesy of her nan)! Mad…

Table News:

“Looking down on me above”:

Shaun Backhouse goes up two places to top the league 2 points ahead of long time leader Paul V who in turn is 1 point ahead of Sam A in third.

“Seems like there’s a hole in my dreams”:

Josh Hirst stays bottom of the pile now only 2 points behind Rowan M who in turn is two points behind Pete B (like he cares this week!).

“You move in right away”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 22 places is Matt Gingell – honourable mentions go to Richard H (+11), Charlie H (+11), Isaac A (+11), Will O (+18), Anders H (+16) and Julian F (+11)

“I can’t stop coming down”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 15 places is Danny Bushell – dishonourable mentions go to Simon B (-14), Jamie T (-12), Clare T (-12), Michelle F (-13), and Sean P (-11)

PAS Cup 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is…a humbled Red – Tony Morris.

Bet of the Week:

Oh so close! The “homes” and “aways” went by the wayside as per normal, but on 90 mins we had 3 draws in, then Everton decided to score two – boo! Next up is Mr Crisp – we need something tasty Dave!

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Matchday 3 fixtures as follows – it’s do or die for some of us this week – eek!

Group A

And Another Thing:

Please be aware sending your scoresheet via iPhone or Android is causing problems when applied to the matrix – correct scores are not being picked up! (but we do check, but it is a pain!) Where you can, always send your scores as a Word doc attachment…

Cheers,
Pab

Hola, definitive PAS L13 Winter 2011 Champions League guide has been updated – we’re pretty certain this version is glitch free (he says, crossing everything…) – check it out and flag up any discrepancies please!

PS – Rowan M maybe floundering behind Frankie in the league table but he nailed a 29/1 treble this evening – Olympiacos/Arsenal/Leicester!
