PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’24 Week 2 round up
“It’s Tottenham…”
“Mansize Rooster”:
After last week’s shenanigans it had to be a better week, eh?
Well, for me, only just!
However, I did manage to forget to do one score & Mr 2-0 beat me again…
Woe is me.
I’m sure there were plenty of others with similar stories, but I’m just feeling a bit sorry for myself, it’s been a long week. : (
So, 10 punters scored thirty points or more this week – which is good for them as it transpired – but only one was in with a shout of nabbing the £20 prize cos the 40 point milestone was broken again.
It was girls on top, as debutant Laura H went head to head with Debbie L until she smashed in a Super Sunday haul including a Scottish 9 pointer. Then Spurs happened…
Matthew Stafford 45 (6) has Week 2 forever next to his name now as his Super Sunday tally was boosted by a 3-2 in Manchester & red faced Rooney doing the do…
Congrats Matt, don’t be wasting that dosh on some rugby league nonsense, pies or dancing to northern soul…actually, do spend it on the latter!

“Caught By The Fuzz”:
We’ve got 100 real people playing this season (well done us!) but it would seem, with volume, comes complacency!
A fifth couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week as correct scores were even more elusive than usual.
Surprisingly, only three players registered “zero” in the column marked “CS” – eeeek!
However, (is this a trend this season?!) single-digit scores were absent yet again.
Paul Vinson 10 (0) you really are all alone this week…but Luke S kinda kept you company – bless.
Correct Score of the Week:
Oooof…. – most popular score was Pompey’s 1-1 draw at with Oxford – 21 of us got that!
Fifteen were so happy for the googly last kick lolz served up in Sunderland 2-2 Leeds, they will actually wear that ballet dress…
7 believed in the process. A 3-1 Mikel kinda belief…
Seven(!) more celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 3-2 in Brighton
4 celebrated the bore draw between WBA & Millwall (I had 5-1 btw…)
Four more obviously guessed City would beat Fulham 3-2
Julian F, Martin S & Thomas S turned up Fleetwood 0 Bromley 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who were actually there.
Laura H, Frankie F & El Presidente decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Swansea v Stoke. And we did…5 whole points of a reward. So there.
Predictz fluked Chelsea 1 Forest 1
Laura H (again!) had her secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Goodison
Debbie L thrilled at the thrilling Aberdeen 3 Hearts 2
Tim P will shout out loud about the 4-1 humbling of Ipswich by West Ham
However, this week’s best correct score, goes to David Goggin for his don’t-call-it-a-come-back-but-do-cos-it-was-an-unreal-one inspired, Dundee 2 Kilmarnock 3!
Bet of the Week:
Ben H 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?!
Uh-uhhhh!
“Mulling over the bet of the week – and I’ve gone for three home numbers in the lottery (aka the Championship!) Here goes: Fingers tightly crossed!”
Burnley – oops
Coventry – oh no
Sheff U – obvs…
So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – hrrmmmphhh…
So, Mark S & newbie Gary R are in joint 60th, and the Perranporth Pep was first out the hat, so…
Rolfey, I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Or Thursday. Or Saturday. Or Sunday…
Vamos!
