“La vida loca”:

So, who won?

Well…a northern PASer who has, let’s say, “connections”. And one who obviously took it upon himself to be more like his Super 6 predictions this season…and my, how that decision has paid off!

He let his “this-is-how-to-win-a-league-title” weekly performances do the talking for him “on the pitch” and only got involved on our What’s App group (erm, the rest of youse are all on that aren’t you?!) to gently chide the Arse…(grrrrr)

It was a close, compacted, confusing Covid catastrophe of a season – whilst Liverpool smoothly glide their way to the title (come on you Saints!) with certainty & consistency in the (non) real world, our champion battled & ground through the gears on their way to victory!

A few players kinda threatened to win it, but…

No one got close to the magnificent correct score tally. The third-best ever. However, the points tally missed out on the Top 15 highest points tally ever…another oddity in an, ahem, “odd” year.

To be frank, it was another of those almost perfect campaigns…

Our “Winter” champ started in the “Top Ten” at a comfy 7th, dropped to 43rd, then recovered back up to 7th heaven in Week 3.

Then, the relentless ascent started –  up to 3rd, then 2nd before hitting the summit at the halfway point.

More dips?

Nope.

From Week 6 it was all about turning the screw on the opposition.

With the impeccable timing of the seasoned PAS pro he is, when really it mattered, any challengers were brushed aside in a remarkable performance of consistency!

So, be upstanding lords, ladies & gents and doff your caps to Danny Ashworth 361 (57) – He. Is. A. Winner!

Tyrone Dobbs, Max George, Michelle Keegan, The Royle Family, Paul Scholes, Terry Christian, Elkie Brooks, Olivia Attwood, Harpurhey, Middy, Staly Vegas & Yonners – your kid is mint!

Danny Boy won with a whopping 14 point lead over Mr Consistency himself, Pete Britton, in second place.

And he finished fourteen points ahead of “International Week” non-apologist Martin Stafford in third spot.

Paul Smith was a further 8 points behind in a fashionable 4th, with Kate Slee 4 points shy in 5th proudly flying the “girls can do it too y’know” banner as always    : )

Just two points further back, Lee Ford can reflect on a fine season finishing in sixth spot, with a Sp*rs giddy Steve Meaton following in 7th virtue of 4 points.

In eighth place (only 4 correct scores back) was resident purveyor of footy tops, Alex Taylor and our friend from the Nord(ic), via Woking, Simon Lindquist was a further three correct scores behind in 9th.

Newbie Darrell Shannon just edged out The PAS King courtesy of a point in 10th…welcome D!

“Lockdown”: 

Only 13 points, but 61 places, separated our new champion from my ol’ mucker Darren McCarthy 221 (18) in Week 1!

Actually, that’s worth thinking about…overall, he got 26 points & 4 correct scores less than Jamie Fairhurst did last year.

Awkward…

Starting in 68th, the young Red Blue never really recovered.

Like a role model to rubbish yo-yoing, it was then 98th, up to 81st, back to 90th, then down again in Week 5 to 94th!

Week 6 it was down to 96th.

And a weekly sequence of flitting between 98th & 96th then followed with a slip down again to 98th in Week 10.

Week 11 saw him nestled in at rock bottom…

And there he stayed, securing the wooden spoon to round off a thoroughly miserable year…

Samantha P, Stuart F & Rob C made gallant efforts over the season to save Dazzler’s blushes, but…

Spot Prizers

Ok, YOU have finished on these positions AND you HAVE won those prizes!

Jazz Sian on 11th(!), Mark J Brown on 12th, Francesca Fernandez on 17th, Paul Henshaw on 23rd, John King on 30th, Ryan Graves on 33rd, Jason Morris on 39th, Predictz on 42nd, Mark Seels on 45th, Debbie Lee on 49th, Simon Buxton on 54th, Andy Fowler on 57th, John Jennings on 65th, Bijay Lama on 67th, SGlynn Fairhurst on 71st, Steve Morton on 78th, James Challinor on 83rd, Rowan Marriott on 89th, Patricia Fernandez on 97th and Darren McCarthy on 101st.

“He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice…”

“A Little Respect”:

You can tell it’s the holiday season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in.

Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into an alcoholic abyss with little chance of predicting succour.

Form goes out the window & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country.

So how do you combat this perennial problem?

Don’t ask me, I had St Mirren v St Johnstone as 0-0 & West Brom to beat Villa 2-1…

However, as Aberdeen netted in the last minute (96th actually!) at Rugby Park (i’m ignoring its new name…), the miracle of Christmas left Greg F trailing in the wake of Martin Stafford 44 (8)

Welbeck, Wycombe and quintuplet of 5 correct scores in a row – ding, dong! (merrily on high)

Second weekly win of the season & 2nd Christmas (Week 13) in a row for Mr S…

I can just copy n paste this then –

“Sawreetferthee M, eeeyafflaff?!

Art suppin bowt?

Best use that twenty quid, eh?!”

Ahem,

Here’s the science bit – 26 of youse managed 25 points or more.

Merry Christmas!

Correct Score of the Week:

I hate football…most popular score was Everton’s 2-1 win over Arsenal– 31 of youse got that! (grrrrrrr…)

Thirteen believed in Rangers. A 3-1 kinda belief…

10 just knew Reading would score against Brentford for a 3-1

Scott H, Andy F & Bijay L doffed a cap to Chelsea’s 3-0 deconstruction of West ‘Am

Nick H, Debbie L & Justin C were all over the Big Sam welcoming 0-3 to the Villa

Andy F (again) & Bry D landed on the two-two in Glasgow. The wrong side of Glasgow…

Gary McC obviously guessed Burnley would beat Wolves 2-1

Andy S will shout out loud about the humbling of Spurs by Leicester

Reagon K got the dull-all at Kenilworth Road

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Vinson for his it’s-Christmas-this-may-well-be-a-cracker inspired, St Mirren 3 St Johnstone 2!

Bet of the Week:

George Triantafillou was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He struck again!

So, £1.87 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th leaving it on a merry £3.93!

Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.

Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…or not.

Table News:

Three crashed the Top Ten!

“Sometimes”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 28 places is John King – honourable mentions go to Greg F (+20), and Harry H (+15)

“Ship Of Fools”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 28 places is John Jennings – dishonourable mentions go to Pete H (-19), Hira Y (-14), and Simon B (-14)

“Did you know that Burnley consumes two thirds of the world’s supply of Benedictine? No, really. The East Lancs were stationed near the distillery during WW1. It was used as a hospital and the monks doled out the booze. Contrary to received wisdom that Benedictine is something you drink out of a bag on a park bench, it is actually a health giving elixir of 26 herbs. And brandy. The drink of choice at Turf Moor is “Bene n hot” – Benedictine, slice of lemon and hot water. Lovely. Like liquid Lockets. So we drink that, watch paint dry and abuse the neighbours. Just the same” – The Happy Place

“Unputdownable”:

Football is rubbish eh?

Bookselling sites are hosting whole evenings of viewing, no one can actually go to actual games anymore and VAR is doing it’s utmost to derail our beautiful game (PAS, not the game. Although…).

So predicting scores is taking one hell of a beating at the minute.

I may be wrong, but I think this week is the closest week ever in terms of players vying to win the £20 prize.

Twenty five players broke the 25 point mark and only, get this, 7 got over thirty points!

Danny A went close but he wasn’t really bothered, being top n all that.

Will O went closer but didn’t submit any Sunday scores (?!).

Dave C went really close but put his trust in the Gunners…

and, Tim P went really really close but didn’t register a single point after the Celtic game!

So, it turned out to be a London underdog day in the end!

Bijay Lama 35 (5) had it all to do (even missing one game!) and thanks to s sterling Fulham performance and a stirring Palace comeback, he netted the weekly win by one point thanks to both those unlikely 1-1 draws.

God bless ‘Dinium, eh?!

Merry Christmas Bijay!

Correct Score of the Week:

Can’t wait til this is all over …most popular score was Norwich’s 1-2 win at Blackburn– 27 of youse got that!

Sixteen got Southampton 3 Sheff Utd 0

8 got the 1-3 Bees win over Forest

Gary B, Chris D & Justin C doffed a cap to Leicester’s 3-0 deconstruction of Brighton

Dave C, Bijay L & Gary McC said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Bristol Rovers 3-0 Plymouth Argyle

Predictz & Bijay L (again!) saw their typo come good on the game at Craven Cottage

Neil O & Chris B got the dull-all at Derby

Tim P was all over the south Wales derby 0-2 to Swansea

Danny A revelled in the schadenfreude of Villa’s late late show

Neil O (again!) got 3 goal demolition of Millwall by Middlesbro

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Andy Smith for his choose-Scotland-choose-Edinburgh-choose-the-team-with-the-best-kit-in-all-the-leagues inspired, Hamilton 0 Hibs 4

Bet of the Week:

George Triantafillou was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 11 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on a nice £6!  Go 45!

George Triantafillou is at 65th this week…so he gets to redeem himself!

Georgie, I need your 3 team treble by Friday lunchtime please – gonna go for some Aussie rules games?!!

Table News:

“Something More”:

Danny Ashworth stays top, now a title winning 16 points clear of Pete B who in turn is seventeen points ahead of Paul S in third – there’s people on the pitch…(yawn)

One (!) crashed the Top Ten.

“Evil Eyes”:

Darren McCarthy remains rock bottom, still five points behind Stuart F who, in turn, is 3 points off Rob C…

“Narcissus”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Tim Payne – honourable mentions go to Will O (+20), Bijay L (+20), and Charlie H (+18).

“Overpowered”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places is George Triantafillou – dishonourable mentions go to John J (-17), Howard T (-16), and Richard H (-16)

PAS teaser campaign picks up pace…

“It Must Be Magic”:

“Behind The Groove”:

Seven of us suffered the nightmare (well) before Christmas this week.

As Mr 2-0 lorded it up on 30 points, we hit the misery of not even getting beyond 15 points.

Four of us didn’t register a correct score.

We all managed to get into double figures though! Ummmm, yay?

David Goggin 11 (0) you were marginally the worst of us all…

Egg nog?

Correct Score of the Week:

No ideas…most popular score was Southampton’s 1-2 win at Brighton– 34 of youse got that!

Thirty four more had Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Leeds

27 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Ross County 0 Rangers 4

Eleven just knew West Ham would score against Man Utd for a 1-3

Ben H, Rob C & Reagon K were grateful for the 3-1 Coventry win over Rotherham

Patricia F & Paul V believed in St Johnstone. A 1-1 kinda belief…

Ben McK nabbed the form book upsetting Bristol City 0 Birmingham City 1

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Justin Corliss for his now-the-Kopites-are-back inspired, Liverpool 4 Wolves 0!

Bet of the Week:

Paul Carter was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £1.70 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd bringing it to a lively £5.10!   Whoo!

George Triantafillou is at 45th this week…

Cobber, I need your 3 team treble by Friday lunchtime please – can you get the first full house?!

“GOAT”

“The Name Of The Game”:

“SOS”:

Following Mr 2-0 is futile – he’ll just mug you off.

Ask Gary B, Dave N & Dan H (eh?! missed that memo!), Chris B, Joe M & Brett D.

However, sometimes he serves you well…

Just ask the seven who didn’t muster a correct score.

Oh, and the lone single-digit returner Neil Osborne 9 (0)

Correct Score of the Week:

Bumper week …most popular score was Brentford’s 2-1 win over QPR– 30 of youse got that!

Seven nailed Stockport 2 Yeovil 2

7 more got the dull-all at St Andrews

Six got the very annoying last minute spoiling Southampton 2 Man Utd 3

5 banked the five point  2-2 betwixt Morecambe & Solihull Moors

Five more made us all green by happening upon Reading 3-1 Bristol City

4 were well away with the 0-3 away win for Boreham Wood

Four more got Rotherham’s “Desmond” with Bournemouth

Another 4 said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Man City 5 Burnley 0

David G, Norman L & Rowan M celebrated the bore draw between Sheffield Wednesday & Stoke City

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Simon Turnbull for his I-knew-them-Smoggies-would-get-turned-over-(man) inspired, Huddersfield 3 Middlesbrough 2!

“Stinker…”

“I Want You”:

After last week’s top weekly tally “epic-ness”, you could be excused for expecting a slump.

Nah, mate.

You lot we’re proper on it again!

Twelve scored 30 points or more and, of them, one nearly breached the fifty point wall!

Our very own Dave N tinkered with the back end put up a valiant effort (unlike Toon at the weekend) as did Steve M (getting all “Spursy” on us) but they just couldn’t cope with our weekly winner knocking over the “vanilla” correct scores – all nine of them!

Kate Slee 49 (9) piled it on with four 1-1s and three 1-0s to surge to the top with consummate ease.

Efficiency at its best Peter Katie!

£20 in the bag then – something for the vaccine fund?   ; )

“Please Be Cruel”:

A bad week for 35 punters who scored less than 20 points this week.

Particularly bad for the sixteen who didn’t get a single correct score.

Really bad, however, for one underachiever who was the only one who didn’t get into double figures…

Yep, that’s you Anders Hoglund 9 (0)

Emulating Arsenal is not what Gothenburg expects right now young man!

Correct Score of the Week:

Didn’t we do well…most popular score was Southampton’s 1-1 draw at Wolves– 27 of youse got that!

Five landed on the two-two in Edinburgh. The right side of Edinburgh…

4  had the very annoying last minute spoiling Kilmarnock 3 Ross County 1

Neil T, Martin S & John K celebrated the Friday night bore draw between Coventry & Birmingham

Rob C, John J & Mike L thrilled at the thrilling Rangers 4 Aberdeen 0

Gary B & James C got Leyton Orient 3 Harrogate Town 0

Dave N & Reagon K doffed a cap to Liverpool’s 3-0 deconstruction of Leicester

Patricia F saw her typo come good on the game at Villa Park

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Francesca Fernandez for her my-dad-put-this-as-well-but-changed-it-at-4pm-the-idiot inspired, Leeds 0 Arsenal 0!

Bet of the Week:

Tim Payne was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 8 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £2.06 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th taking it to £2.06!   Nice.

Steve Meaton is at 11th this week…

Not one of Banksy’s better works, but, y’know…

“Love Buzz”:

(Sort’ve) Unprecedented scenes!

After much wailing & gnashing of teeth on the PAS What’s App group (you really need to join in btw!) about the vagaries of “International Week”, it really produced a corker. Not even literally. Actually, actually!

So here goes –

“Lithium”:

It really wasn’t a week to be rubbish!

4 people scored 15 points or less!

Even Patricia F got involved…

Scott Harrison 12 (0) not only finished bottom this week, but he was also the only correct score-less player too…brutal!

Correct Score of the Week:

That’s a bit more like it…most popular score was Germany’s 3-1 defeat of Ukraine – 28 of youse got that!

Nineteen got Dockyard derby “Desmond”

10 got the dull-all at Lansdowne Road

Nine quite rightly predicted Eng-er-land’s 4-0 thrashing of Iceland

5 were grateful for the 3-1 Albanian win over Kazk Kazah Kazz Caz where Borat is from

4 lapped up the 90th minute joy of Croatia 2 Portugal 3

Matt W, James C & Eddie O had Wales’s 3-1 win over Finland

Frankie F & Mike L secretly said prayers the “Saints of Nil” for a stalemate in The Principality. And had them answered…

Reagon K nabbed the form book upsetting Portugal 0 France 1

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Justin Corliss for his International-Week?-Pah!-I-keep-it-real-mate inspired, Sunderland 1 MK Dons 2!

Bet of the Week:

Neil Meredith was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th taking it to £6! Wowsers!

Tim Payne is at 65th this week…

Timmy, I need your 3 team treble by Friday lunchtime please – a chance to redeem your recent What’s App misdemeanours?!

Table News:

“In Bloom”:

Danny Ashworth remains top, but now a big 15 points clear of Alex T who in turn is now ten points ahead of Pete B in third, as this the breakaway continues…

Two crashed the Top Ten.

“Drain You”:

Ben McKeown remains bottom, still four correct scores behind Stuart F who in turn is 10 points off Andy C…

“Territorial P*ssings”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 45 places is Will Oppong – honourable mentions go to Paul H (+41), Chris D (+30), Jazz S (+28), Karina H (+24), Simon Lindq (+23) and Paul D (+23)

“All Apologies”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 32 places is Patricia Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Scott H (-31), Bijay L (-25), Simon B (-25), Bry D (-23) and Anders H (-22)

You got the flo’, Joe…Keep Spread The Faith!

“Confetti”:

I’ll keep it brief, we’ve got a BIG International Week looming…

Seven happy souls managed 30 points or more this week and my, they were a tight bunch.

Emerging from the peleton was tough – Matt W put in a big shout heading the way in the final sprint, courtesy of a 2 x 9 pointers!

And he looked set to win but missing the first game proved to be costly…

That paved the way for newcomer Gary McCarthy 36 (5) to swoop in thanks to a double last-minute gift!

That West Ham 91st minute winner + Lookman’s horrorshow secured his first weekly £20 prize!

Or maybe it was that Pompey draw that nosed him in front of Danny A on the line?

Play up!

“If I Could Talk I’d Tell You”:

Did you suffer like the 15 that scored fifteen points or less?

No one dipped so low as single digits though.

But, 11 got zero correct scores.

The worst?

Bijay Lama & Hira Yonzan 10 (0).

Bless! Like peas in a point averse pod….come back brighter boys!

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow…most popular score was Huddersfield’s 1-1 draw with Luton– 25 of us got that!

Nine got Ipswich’s “Desmond” with Pompey

7 thrilled at the thrilling Harrogate 4 Skelmersdale Utd 1

Six had Blackburn’s 3-1 win over QPR

6 more made us all green by happening upon Chelsea 4-1 Sheff Utd

Five got the dull-all at Hillsborough

4 just knew Birmingham would score against Bournemouth for a 1-3

Four more doffed a cap to Celtic’s 1-4 deconstruction of Motherwell

Simon Linds & my mum believed in Darlo. A 1-2 kinda belief…

Chris B & Glynn F celebrated the bore draw between Brentford & Boro

Dave N & Martin S turned up Brighton 0 Burnley 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who could’ve been there.

Howard T & Mike L nabbed the form book upsetting Everton 1 Man Utd 3

Richard H & Eddie O banked the nine point  3-2 betwixt Watford & Coventry

Greg F was grateful for the 0-1 Plymouth win at Charlton

Harry H had the very annoying last minute spoiling West Ham 1 Fulham 0

Matt W said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Scunthorpe 2-3 Solihull Moors

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Simon Buxton for his I-bet-Pab-had-one-four-so-i’ll-go-one-bigger inspired, FC United of Manchester 1 Doncaster Rovers 5!

Bet of the Week:

Ben Hogwood was (eventually!) on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

We won!

So, £2.15 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd taking it to £3.40!       : )

Neil Meredith is at 45th this week…

Mr M, I need your 3 team treble by Friday lunchtime please!

Table News:

“Rockin’ Stroll”:

Danny Ashworth remains top, now 12 points clear of Alex T who in turn is now fourteen points ahead of Pete B in third…is this the breakaway for the title?

One(!) crashed the Top Ten.

“It’s A Shame About Ray”:

Ben McKeown remains bottom, now four correct scores behind Stuart F who in turn is 3 points off Rob C…

“Into Your Arms”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 39 places is Gary McCarthy – honourable mentions go to Richard H (+24), Eddie O (+22), Simon B (+30), Matt W (+26) and John J (+16)

“Rudderless”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 31 places is Bijay Lama – dishonourable mentions go to Hira Y (-20), Anders H (-16), Sam C (-15), Steve M (-19) and Patricia F (-20)
