Hola,

I’m sorry to report some sad news – my good friend & fellow PASer Felix Hines passed away on Saturday aged just 41. It was sudden and obviously a great shock to us all. I won’t bore you with tales of what we did & didn’t do but I will tell you he was a genuine top fella – cool, laid back (to point of being horizontal), wicked sense of humour and impeccable taste in music. He’ll be sorely missed…

Understandably, this weeks round up will be very low key but we’ll be back to normal next week – i’m gonna leave Felix in the standings as he wasn’t one for fuss or wailing or gnashing of teeth. Let’s hope Mr 2-0 gives him the send off he deserves…

For posterity then, here’s what happened on Week 3

Weekly Winner : Dan Hogwood 36 (6)

Worst Score : Neil Critchlow, Chris Marriott, Mark J Brown & Pete Britton 11 (0)

Highest Climber : Simon Buxton (+29)

Biggest Faller: Mark J Brown (-26)

Best Correct Score : Neil Birchall (Ross County 0 Celtic 5)

Bet of the Week : +£1.70

Cheers,

Pab

“Had To Hear”: You’d think scoring 45 points would secure a weekly win wouldn’t you? But no, Neil O, it doesn’t. So, then you’d think getting 49(!) points would win you £20 yeah? Well no, actually, Kate H. It’s about being even better than that…

David Goggin 63 (9) pulled out the best weekly tally in PAS history to make his £10 intro entry stake seem like a very good investment indeed! Well done David, it’ll take some beating…

 

“Hostiles”: Oh dear! I think the time difference in Australia was playing havoc with Paul Carter 13 (0) as he brings shame to all Poms abroad. Get yeself on walkabout mate, clears the mind apparently…

 

Correct Score of the Week: Another round of fine predicting – most popular score was Spain’s win in the principality of Luxemborg – 26 of us got that!

19 got the 5-0 at Wemberlee, 10 got Norway’s 0-3 v Malta and 6(!!!) got Belgium’s 6-0 against Andorra.

Chris M (welcome!), Olly O & David N (welcome too!) got the 2-2 between Poland & Scotland.

Simon Linds & David G got Holland 3 Kazakhstan 1 (how?!)

David G (again!) & Francesca F got Republic of Ireland 7 Gibraltar 0.

Martin S (welcome back!) got Liechtenstein 0 Montenegro 0 and John H had Italy 2 Azerbaijan 1.

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct score of the season, goes to Douglas “The Pug” Hogwood for his barking (see what I did there?!), Germany 1 Ireland 1 (!!).

PAS Cup 2015:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2015 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is…the Yam Yam Gooner, Rob Currin.

 

PAS Champions League 2014/15:

We’re off! Some big scores, a few heartbreakers, only 3 away wins, no draws and a tight Geordie derby settled by a “joker”…

Matchday 1 fixtures & results can be found here

 

And Another Thing:

Lots of payments have come in – thanks! Anyone who hasn’t got round to it, i’m naming & shaming next week…

Trouble with your PC/rubbish work computer/tablet?

Why don’t you be ultra-modern and use your phone to submit your scores!

Dan H has worked tirelessly to enable & improve access via mobile devices so it’d be rude not to…and i’m told it’s easy peasy to do!

That’s it for this week – oh, you on Twitter yet? Noticed anything??

“Sweetest Thing”:

If you’re gonna win a week might as well do it early! Congrats then to Paul Vinson 38 (6) who raced away from the opposition (the closest was Dave C 7 points back!) with a Super Sunday to win in, let’s be honest here, a tricky week for predicting scores. Congratsm you’re the first £20 weekly prize winner of the season! #firstcutisthedeepest

 

“Repeated Offender”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well fail in the first week eh?! Stephen Peaston 7 (0) is all alone (well, Donna E is v close neighbour!) at the bottom and really needs to shake off the “Pardews” sharpish! Commiserations SRP, you’re our first weekly loser! #cutmeloose

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow! Quite a few correct scores knocking about (despite the mad scorelines)… most popular score was Leeds Utd’s 1-1 draw with Yorkshire rivals Sheff Wednesday – 23 of youse got that!

6 got the 1-1 in the Scottish Highlands derby and 6 got the “Desmond” between Forest & Ipswich.

5 got the 2-2 at Moulineux and Dave C, Arthur H & David N got another two-two between The Swans & The Toon.

Paul C & Paul V got the 3-1 involving Partick & Motherwell.

Anders H & Yours Truly just knew Millwall would draw 0-0 with Derby and Michelle F & Shashi A got a fine Leicester 2 Burnley 2.

Chris M & Paul V (again) got Aberdeen’s 9 point thriller at Dundee.

Alex R got Norwich 1 Rotherham 1.

Neil C got the 0-0 in Blackburn.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to debutant Adhnan Zuel for his beginners-luck inspired, Brentford 3 Reading 1.

 

Bet of the Week:

We had varying degrees of success with this last season so we’ve stuck with it and this week’s 75p trixie went as follows –

Votes: 47

Selections: Norwich 25% /Leicester 20% /Derby 20%

Prize Slot: 11th

Returns: £0. Boo! Wipeout! Not the best start eh?

ps – if you’re below Doug Hogwood in the table, please be aware you’re getting beat by a dog. Yeah, a dog! A pug. Who picks his scores by sniffing or eating strategically placed treats. A bit like that octopus. But with only 4 limbs.

Frankie has got an excuse –  she’s 6. And a girl….

Hola!

I’m counting on 66 regulars playing again this season and so far we have 7 newbies or blasts from the past now in the fold.

Good work people, let’s see if we can get even more bods involved!

We start on the first weekend of October – the Week 1 scoresheet is now live if fancy sticking in some scores early doors…

We need your money! If you’ve paid already, we salute you…if you haven’t, here’s how to pay –

1) It’s £23 or £10 if you’re a newcomer (we’ve got 4 of those so far)

2) Ideally you’ll go online to your bank and e-transfer your entry fee over to me…

3)

4) please leave your name as a reference so I can keep track of who has paid  : )

or

5) still rocking old skool behaviour? Send a cheque made payable to me

or

6) Paypal! Email me & i’ll send you a request for the funds but please be aware it’ll probably cost you a bit more for the conversion/commission cost Paypal sticks on

7) Now got out & find another person to join – the more in the pot, the more prizes we got!

Cheers

Pab

Hola!

PAS begins very soon and you, dear people, are our mainstays. Our rock. Our all. Ahem…

 

Are you ready to play?

 

I’ve messaged all the Champions league bods and all are taking their positions for the upcoming competition, so there’s no sneaking in there unfortunately…

The Champions League groups are here

The fixtures are here (check out the north east derby in Group A to kick things off!)

 

So, entry fee is £23 and details of how to pay will be filling your inbox on a very regular basis in the coming weeks : )

 

Oh, and I need you to introduce a new player (for a tenner!) so email me their details ASAP please – you MUST be able to get family member/friend/work colleague you can rope in?

So far we’ve had 3 newbies confirmed so we need a real push on this people – come on – don’t be going all shy on me now…

 

Cheers

Pab
