PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 8 round up!

Sweetness & Light”: Did you watch “The Shield”? Y’know, the cop series that was the tasty bite-size burger to the Kobe steak that was “The Wire”? Vic Mackey was ace wasn’t he! The slippery anti-hero you couldn’t help but love and only surpassed by Tony Soprano, Omar Little & maybe even Jesse Pinkman in terms of stealing all the scenes they were in. Yeah!

What about Shane Vendrell though? You had to love him too in that American take on cheeky chappie, jack-the-lad recklessness designed to undo the narrative arc of the show. Then he went really maverick, unhinged, risible, selfish & downright evil (he threw a hand grenade in his best mate’s car ffs!). Ugh! All portrayed by the genius of Walton Goggins.

We haven’t got a Walton. Or a Goggins. But we do have David Goggin 39 (6) whose genius was to win this week’s £20! David had Michael Keane’s 93rd minute strike to thank as he shielded off (see what I did there?) Kate H & Tony M to serve up some rough justice…well done mi Gooner amigo!

Come back here for more tenuous links in the coming weeks folks!

 

 

 

 

Out Of Control”: From the sublime to the totes ridic very much akin to his team this season or even Christian B’s Premiership career so far.

What a difference a week makes for Mark Seels 8 (0) who goes from darling to dimlo and is now the scourge of “The Syndicate” as he clocks in with the only single digit return in Week 8…

That collar bone still playing you up Seelsy??!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

A fine week of predicting… – most popular score was Leicester 1-0’s 1-0 win over The Scummers – 19 of youse got that!

Seventeen got the 3-1 hammering meted out in Glasgow. The Tim bit of Glasgow…

10 got the ding dong 2-2 between Brighton and Burnley

Ten got Aberdeen 3 Hamilton 0

8 nailed the dull-all on Wearside

Seven came good with Aston Villa 0-4 Chelsea

5 just knew Wolves v Ipswich would be goalless

Four somehow guessed Partick’s 0-0 draw with Kilmarnock

4 somehow guessed Swansea’s 2-2 draw at Stoke

Will O, Arthur H & Francesca F just knew Palace would secure a Desmond at the Boleyn

Jon T got a tasty Charlton 1 Birmingham 1

Dave C should be ashamed he got 8 points thanks to a Theo last kick of the game goal

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Alex Rossi for his beside-the-seaside inspired, Bournemouth 0 Man City 4.

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

 

44.74% Dundee V Ross County – 5-2 WTF!!

42.11% Wolves V Ipswich – v predictable. Tick

40.79% Cardiff V Derby – Derby. Never rely on Derby…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 61st.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 7 round up!

Jean Jacket”: It was looking like a right rosy battle for top spot this week between the most improved Charlie H and perennial wooden spooner Frankie F as the faux international week wreaked havoc on predictions. However, despite not predicting the first three games and Eng-er-land robbing him of a five pointer against Germany, Mark Seels 30 (6) wandered up and snatched the £20 this week with no small thanks to Milivoje Novakovic’s missed penalty at Windsor Park. Well done Seelsy, the syndicate must be very proud…

 

 

 

Nom Nom”: 15 people couldn’t manage a single correct score between them this week (even I got one!) but suffering most was poor old Eddie Osborne 9(0) who will no doubt be vey happy to see the back of international week this season…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

All about the solo again this week. No, really… – most popular score was Spain’s 1-1 in Italy – 25 of youse got that!

Neil H got the ding dong 2-2 between Mansfield and Northampton

Sam A nailed the dull-all in Burton

Ian P came good with Romania 0 Spain 0

Debbie L somehow guessed Scotland’s 0-1 win over Czech Rep

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

52.46% Scotland V Denmark – well done us!

50.82% Holland V France – ooh so close

47.54% Rep of Ireland V Switzerland – did you see how many shots Switzerland had??! Jeeez…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 6 round up!

69 Police”: Can I just say I did alright at Cheltenham…OK, i’ll crack on now.

Six people somehow managed to accumulate over 30 points this week – can I JUST say I did alright at Cheltenham, y’know, the gee-gees… Simon Linds & Jack B when tete e tete a nose in front of a game Danny A – I even had a £93 trixie off £8… but in the final furlong a Scouser stole up on the inside rail and finished at a canter – a bit like Cue Card was bloomin meant to do… and racked up at the line with an impressive total that may not be bettered this season. Yep, our friend from the north in the south Alex Rossi 43 (9) is sitting pretty and has £20 less to worry about from his diminished Cheltenham kitty. Well done lah, but follow me & the “Sport” next March mate!

 

 

 

Sick City”: So, who follows Mr 2-0 then? Stupido people that’s who!

I mean, how could you be below Mr 2-0 in the table? Think about it. He’s not even real, he has the same score every week and as for his football knowledge… – did I tell you I did ok at Cheltenham?

Sorry, where was I? Ah yes, dimlos doing bad. Hang you heads Anders Hoglund & Dan Hogwood 9 (0) you ought to be ashamed of yourselves (pssst! Get on the equine tip boys, way way better than rubbish unpredictable football…)

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 4 round up!

The Hunter”: If you have a thing for Forest this PAS season you really can see the wood from the trees it seems! Pete B looked like he was going to strike up the first double weekly win of the season until up stepped (tripped? dived??!) Mr Benteke at Selhurst Park to slot a 97th minute penalty for the thieving scousers (other sweeping regionalisms are available)! That winner handed Charlie Harris 39 (7) the extra point he needed to usurp Mancunian Pete and slip away with this week’s £20! Nice one Chas – more cobs for yer snap box next week then duck?!

 

 

 

Cheer Up London”: Looking forlornly up at the heady heights of 30 points plus this week was a shared experience for many. Especially me. Again.

However fellow Gooner Will Oppong 8 (0) felt the pain even more so with a pitiful performance that could be labelled “Theo-esque” by some…well, me. And Rob C. Oh, and Dave C too.

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Nope, no idea… – most popular score was Liverpool’s dubious 1-2 at Palace – 28 of youse got that!

24 got the hammering meted out at the Etihad

12 got the very predictable 3-0 between Celtic & Morton in the Scottish Cup

Twelve more fluked Arsenal’s fine draw v Sp*rs

8 got the other “Desmond” in Reading

Richard H & Andy F nailed WBA 1 – 0 Man Utd

Lee P & Nick H  got the PNE – Brighton bore draw

John K came good with Sheff Wed 0 Rotherham 1

Olly O somehow guessed Dundee Utd’s 2-3 win at Ross County

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Charlie Harris for his I-can-do-no-wrong-and-I’ve-always-said-Martinez-is-defensively-inept inspired, Everton 2 West Ham 3. 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We ignored them and went for 5 home wins instead! And guess what? Yep…

98.7% Man City V Aston Villa – tick

94.81% Sheff Wed V Rotherham – Warnock, WTF?!

93.51% Chelsea V Stoke – Sparky’s dream scuppers

89.61% Celtic V Morton – yep, ‘course. Tick.

87.01% Wigan V Peterborough – Pfffft!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 61st.

Not doing very well are we…..

 

Table News:

Feed the Mantaray“: Tony Bowley stays top just 7 points ahead of new boy John K who in turn is still three points ahead of fellow new boy Lee F in third as the Top 3 remain as you were!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 3 round up!

The Noisy Days Are Over”: Remember 1990? That dance? Y’know! The one that Will Smith was really really good at? The one you tried down the Gin Palace in Tooting? In your clobber from Mash and a crystal round yer gregory?

Well this weeks winner is a running man and he sprinted past (see what I did there!) the desperately unlucky new girls Lindsay S & Sophie B to steal their thunder thanks to Dundee’s late equaliser against Inverness!

£20 then to my ol’ mucker Rowan Marriott 33 (4) who will no doubt treat his 8 kids to a Pot Noodle each cos he’s considerate & kind  like that…

Seriously though, Rowan is running a feet blistering 130 miles in August for “charidee (mate)” and you can pledge him up right here – go on do it, the boy is a legend!

 

 

Them That Do Nothing”: So. You big up a performance that deserves props even to the detriment of oneself. Yeah, *that* bigged up! And what happens? Debbie L reverts to type and form by smashing in another single digit return. Pah!

However, our friend in the (middle) East, Mark J Brown 8(0) has obv had too much sun as his red face managed to save her blushes. Always a gent Marcus, always a gent…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Funny old week – most popular score was Chelsea’s 1-2 at Southampton – 19 of us got that! Yes. Even me!

Gary B / Anders H / David G got the 0-0 at Weston Homes Community Stadium

Julian F & Paul C got the Watford – Bournemouth bore draw

Stuart F came good with Hartlepool 0 Northampton 0

Sam A was spot on with his Sheff Wed zero – zero at Hull

However, this week’s best correct score goes to James Challinor for his Jordan who? inspired, Blackburn 3 MK Dons 2. 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the “system” spat out 3 draws that were the most popular among the 83 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost! Big time! Again! All three went west…again!

55% QPR V Birmingham – Jimmy came good, which was bad for us

53.75% Motherwell V Partick  – me, neither…

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’16 Week 1 round up

Lazurus”: Many moons ago (1994 actually) I was nervously prepping for my best man’s speech trying hard to find that balance between witty & smutty, factual & fabricated and sincere & piss take. Turns out I was fabulous but it was the summing up that really caught everyone’s attention – something along the lines of “may your union last as long as humans have belly buttons, rain in Manchester and bacon in Denmark (don’t ask)…” But the real coup de grace of sentiment came in the last line “or as long as it takes Sp*rs to win the League!” The applause was deafening.

My mate got divorced last September…

Anyway, others feeling the dread weight of Sp*rs re-emergence were our numerous City fans – a bad couple of weeks for the club That Ruined Football (TM)  culminated in a comprehensive defeat at the hands of our friends from The Lane. However, one of them, Pete Britton 36 (6) had reason to afford a smile as he picked up the first weekly £20 of the season not least thanks to a dubious decision wiping out a Jordan Rhodes strike in the (old skool) Yorkshire derby!

Well done Pierre, with me winning two prizes on your wonderful “Dream Team” game already this season, people will begin to talk…

Black Star”: Do you like betting? Do you? Feel like you’re a mug punter awash in a sea of stats & experts? Ever thought that even a little bit of research might improve your chances??

Well Predictz 6 (0) tells you otherwise this week! The “go to” site for all things football predictions (www.predictz.com) got it horribly wrong in Week 1 to the extent of giving Debbie L a run for her wooden spoon! (Actually Debbie got 16 points this week – in context, that’s like you or I getting 100 points. Well, maybe not me. Or Gary B. Or Rowan M. Or Neil T. Or…

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite a few correct scores knocking about in a generally poor scoring week… most popular score was Arsenal’s 2-1 last gasp defeat of Leicester – 17 of youse got that!

12 got the ol’ 1-2 at the Etihad

5 got the dull all between Charlton & Cardiff.

Dave C/Clare T/Chris D got the “Desmond” involving Norwich & Charlton.

Howard T & Pete B got Brighton’s, erm,  shellacking of Bolton?

Dave N & Clare T (again!) got the 0-0 in’t Rothrum

Chris D (again!) got M K Dons’s lovely little 0-1 at Derby

Pete B (again!) got the bore draw Leeds 0 Boro 0

Jason M somehow managed to pull out Hamilton 0 Dundee Utd 0!

However, this week’s best correct score, and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Rich Lee for his South Yorkshire inspired, Sheff Wed 4 Brentford 0.

Bet of the Week: We got a new system. We tested it last season. It works. We actually won some money to swell the “BotW” prize slots! And, best of all, you don’t have to do anything at all (well, except put your predictions in on time!)

We’re going again in Week 2!

Expect the bookies to be cowering from our £3 trixie!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’15 Final Table round up

Final Table News:

 

“LV”: It was one minor blip off a perfect season (in fact just about the inverse of my own predictable table fail!) but still an amazing season’s performance none the less!  He started way down in 44th, climbed to 29th, then 13th and then up to tenth in consecutive weeks. Once ensconced, he went up to 5 and then into 3rd, only dropping one week to the hellish depths of fourth!

However, a recovery back up to 3rd was cemented and once he hit the top spot in Week 10 he stayed there! Oh, and he topped Group D to reach the PAS CL knock out stages…

Hats off & congrats to Scott Harrison 355 (51) – you’re a winner!

Scott ended on a 9 point lead over early trailblazer Peter Morley in second place, (who, impressively,  wasn’t out the Top 4 all season!) who in turn finished 11 correct scores ahead of Andy Chesworth in third place. Another former table topper who didn’t leave the Top 4. A fine season sir…

Just four points further behind, Paul Henshaw didn’t leave the Top 10 after Week 2 to finish in fourth spot with old skooler Kate Hopper scooping 5th place just another 4 points shy.

Newcomer Brett Ainger made a debut to remember in 6th just another four points behind.

Eleven points behind, Nick Hogwood finished in seventh (Dan is so proud of you Nick!) 4 points above prolific underachiever Charlie Harris in eighth.

One point behind, finishing ninth, was the long time missing Martin Stafford (further pointing towards a trend that the old-skoolers are back & hungry for winnings – ‘cept me of course..) and another 1 point back Alex Taylor landed in 10th place netting the last of the “big prizes”…

 

 

“LGV”: You have to say even our champion couldn’t match the consistency level of Debbie Lee 190 (20) who finished a massive 47 points adrift and takes the wooden spoon much to the relief of my little girl who was on a hat-trick! Cheers Debbie you’ve saved me having to find a “golden” wooden spoon…

Oh, and you now hold the unenviable record for the lowest score ever in PAS (much to the relief of a certain Rowan M!), a record mind, that will never be surpassed. Just putting that out there….

James S & Paul C (along with long time basement compadres Neil T & Norman L) made gallant efforts over the last few weeks to save Ms Lee’s blushes but to no avail – true gentlemen!

 

Spot Prizers: OK, you have finished on these positions and you HAVE won those prizes!

Dan Pelgrom on 11th, Eddie Osborne on 12th, Mark Fawke on 17th, Simon Buxton on 28th, Jazz Sian on 31st, Pete Britton on 33rd, Rowan Marriott on 34th, Jack Buxton on 44th, James Challinor on 45th, Mark J Brown on 49th, Josh Hirst on 57th, Neil Critchlow on 65th, David Goggin on 66th, Jamie Sellers on 71st & Paul Carter on 79th.

 

click here to view the full table & to see how much you won!

 

*** all prize money will be winging its way over this weekend (less your PAS L13 Spring ’16 entry fee) – promise! ***

 

 

 

And Another Thing: The other little bits…

 

Mark J Brown picked up an additional £15 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season –  52(6)

 

Dan Hogwood picked up £10 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – Derby County 4 Wolves 2.

 

 

Plaudits

Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to enter, we couldn’t do it without you!

And a final big thank you to Dave N & Dan H for providing all the behind the scenes techky stuff to enable another great (relatively glitch free!) season…

Happy New Year!

Cheers,
Pab

 

ps – initial date for PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2016 is weekend of February 12th/13th 2016


PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’15 Week 13 round up

Gosh”: 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 (ahem) & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country. So how do you combat this perennial problem?

Don’t ask me, I got marginally more than Mr 2-0 this week…

Maybe Clare Templeton 37 (6) can tell us how she came up on the blindside to swipe the last £20 from Rowan M’s hands?

My money’s on the fact she knew the predicable Gooners would concede to the reviled Man City and earn her 4 very valuable points…

 

 

B’lieve I’m Goin’ Down…”: It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s shopping to be done. Why bother doing your scores? Debbie Lee 7 (0) is wondering just that…again!

 

 

Correct Score of the Week: Man, that was a tough season… most popular score was Forest’s 2-1 win over MK Dons  18 of youse got that!

15(!) got the 2-1 at Ashburton Grove (yay!)

Seven got the ol’ 1-2 in the Potteries and 7 more got the dramarama three-one between Chelsea and Sunderland.

5 of you have got Ross McC to thank for the 5 points at Bolton and five more have no one to thank for the 5 points in South Wales, Swansea to be precise.

4 got the Everton 2 Leicester 3. How?!

Rob C, Steve M & Rowan M got Inverness CT’s 2 – 2 draw with Dundee Utd. Errrrr…???

Mark S & Norman L knew that party pooping Norwich would win at Man Yoo.

Andy F & Shashi A got the dull-all feat. St Johnstone & Hearts.

Neil M & Julian F pulled out a plum with Brizzle Rovers sensational 0-3 win v Dagenham!

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Jazz Sian for his “i’m-back-you-who-thought-I-was-gone-lost-a-hasbeen” Burnley 4 Charlton 0.  

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 more draws that were the most popular among the 79 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

After a high you have the crash. Ladies & gentlemen, here is the crash…

60.27% Dundee V Hamilton – ridiculous scoreline!

 

50.68% Everton V Leicester – we were close!

46.58% Stoke V Crystal Palace – Palace pulled out a plum, i’ll not begrudge ’em that!

So, a massive £0 goes on the now very unattractive “Bet of the Week” slot 65th. ‘Orrible….

 

Table News:

 

On The Regular”: Martin Stafford crashes the Top Ten – Clare Templeton is the highest climber (+20) along with Rowan M (+16) just ahead of Shashi A (+15) & then Dan H (+11)……

 

 

Divers”: Neil Hyndman falls furthest (-14) just in front of Pete B (-10), then Will O (-9) with Anders H (-9) following suit……

 

 

click here and view the full table VERY SOON to see how much you might’ve won!

 

 

 

 

PAS Cup 2016:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2016 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is…yeah right, like i’m gonna tell you that now! Patience is a virtue….

 

 

PAS Champions League 2015/16:

 

The knockout stages are upon us the draw will take place once the MCR-Toon-Essex ley-lines have connected and Dan get his magic balls doing their thang….watch this space (well, actually not *this* space, but you know what I mean…)

 

 

And Another Thing: Thankyou for taking part in another fab season – we couldn’t do it without you!

Please come back soon. Very soon! Actually it will late January, early February – but you’ll be getting a constant stream of reminders!

 

 

Special thanks to Dan & Dave once again for all their tireless work behind the scenes – they’ve made our online dream reality AND they are currently working on a few things that will really tickle your fancies! You’ve been warned!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’15 Week 12 round up

T’ain’t What You Do (It’s the Way That You Do It)”: 

To be fair you can usually tell by your Sky Soccer Six score if it’s a mad week for scores or not and I got 4 points this week (what d’ya mean you don’t partake?!) so I knew it was “difficult”…then I checked the scores on the doors and TEN people got 30 or more points – how??!

And then…

Kate Hopper 46 (9)[yep, that’s NINE] picked the perfect week to decimate the opposition with a truly outrageous tally to take the penultimate £20 weekly prize! Well done Katie, you can buy your “adviser” a treat now eh?!

 

 

The Lunatics have Taken Over The Asylum”: 

Remember that poem, nay paean, penned by Rowan M the other week about being the biggest loser in the history of PAS?

Well, Debbie Lee 3 (0) has gone beyond the pale and clocked up something seemingly impossible to lower the bar even further – truly amazing…no, really!

Even if you tried I reckon you couldn’t get 3 points in a week…wow, what a season this is!

Get the thesaurus out Debs i’m expecting Shakespearean levels of prose from you in the coming weeks….

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bothered… – most popular score was Arsenal’s 0-2 win at hapless Villa – 26 of us got that!

13 nabbed a bit of Derby’s superb 2-2 v Brighton

Eleven (really?!) got the very entertaining Leicester 2 Chelsea 1

9 lucked out on the sweet 2-1 win for Bournemouth over Man Yoo…

Eight knew it would be Fulham 2 Brentford 2 (Go West!) and 8 more got Cardiff’s 2s each against Sheff Wed

5 got QPR 0 Burnley 0

Four got the apparently dull, droll West Ham 0 – 0 Stoke City

Neil T, Paul V & Gary B nailed the three-one between Motherwell & Dundee

David G & Julian F got Celtic’s hammering of St Johnstone

Norman L got Hamilton 1 – 3 Ross County

Jamie T got the stalemate at the Valley…

 

…AND this week’s best correct score goes to the aforementioned Jamie Tofeili for his Toon Toon, Spurs 1 Newcastle 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 more draws that were the most popular among the 79 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We won! Big time! All three in people – big up ya bad selves……or something.

 

52.78% Derby V Brighton – very dubious penalty two mins from time sealed the deal!

50% QPR V Burnley

47.22% West Ham V Stoke

 

So, a massive £47.52 goes on the now very attractive “Bet of the Week” slot 45th. Nice to see ya…

 

 

Table News:

 

 

The Tunnel Of Love“:

Scott Harrison maintains top spot now 12 points ahead of Andy C who in turn is two points ahead of Peter M in third as the little breakaway really has been reeled in right on cue by the peleton…it will go to the wire!

Charlie H & Ryan G crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

Our Lips Are Sealed“:

Debbie Lee stays bottom, with the wooden spoon surely secured, a massive thirty eight points behind James S who in turn is 3 points off Norman L…where’s Neil T gone??!

 

 

Well Fancy That“:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 20 places is Jamie Tofeili – honourable mentions go to Jack B (+13), Danny A (+14), Francesca F (+12) and Dave N (+10)

 

 

The More I See (The Less I Believe)“:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 12 places is James Challinor – dishonourable mentions go to Josh H (-11), Rob C (-11), Neil H (-10) & Will O (-11)

PAS Cup 2016:

PAS Champions League 2015/16:

So, that’s it! And how eventful it proved to be…

Two hammerings, one heartbreaker, one close game, 7 away wins (theme of the season!) and no draws…

We lost the CL legend but the holder prevails, three players scraped through on goal difference and Peter Morley was the only one with a perfect record! If you got through, congrats, you really are ace and we’ll see you in the New Year where bounty awaits..

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’15 Week 11 round up

Suntan”: So the rain put pay to 3 of the 30 games this week and didn’t it reflect on the scores! About 20 odd people “could” have won it, 10 perhaps think they “should” have won it and 3 “would” have won it if it wasn’t for the magical uprights at Old Trafford!

Yep, that goalless 5 pointer secured this week’s £20 for Rob Currin 27 (5) as he stole a march on Steve M to claim one of the lowest winnings scores for many a year…and he missed the Thursday/Friday games too! Well done Roberto, a “score” on the Arse to progress tomorrow now??!

 

 

Shaky Half Hour”: Hmmmmm, at least 20 odd people “could” have been the worst this week, 10 perhaps “should” have (in any other given week anyway) been worst and 2 “would” have if it wasn’t for Man Yoo scuppering 22 shots on goal without scoring! Yep, George Triantafillou 6 (0) will be rooing (see what I did there? No? He’s Aussie…jeez!) those missed chances for one goal that would’ve take him to the heady heights of double figures…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Yet again i’m nonplussed… – most popular score was Rotherham’s 1-2 reverse at home to Wolves – 23 of youse got that!

7 got Arsenal’s hammering of the Mackems

Neil T(!), James L & Pete B got the very entertaining Ross Co 2 St Johnstone 3

Julian F nailed the nil-nil between Sheff Wed & Derby

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his tinkerish, Swansea 0 Leicester 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, the new “system” spat out 3 more draws that were the most popular among the 79 of you who entered predictions and guess what?!

We lost….

Ooops.

43.24% Bristol City V Blackburn – new manager, new bloomin’ outlook…

39.19% Sheff Wed V Derby. Tick!

39.19% Ipswich V Middlesbrough – where is Mick when you need him most eh?!!

So, £0 goes on the avoid-at-all-costs “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd. Not nice…

 

 

Table News:

 

Postman“:

Scott Harrison maintains top spot now a seemingly unassailable 20 points ahead of Andy C who in turn is four points ahead of Peter M in third as the little breakaway is kinda being reeled in by the peleton…

Neil M crashed the Top Ten.

 

Death Or Bongo“:

Debbie Lee stays bottom, now only nine points behind Norman L who in turn is 15 points off the vastly improved Neil T…

 

 

Just Like Everybody Else“:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 21 places is Rob Currin – honourable mentions go to Sam C (+11), Dave C (+10), Arthur H (+15) and Steve M (+10)

 

 

Certain People“:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 14 places is Jon Tofeili – dishonourable mentions go to El Presidente (-11), Simon B (-10) & a collarbone less Mark S (-10)…

Click here for further details…

 

 

PAS Cup 2016:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2016 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is…the lets-hope-his-luck-rubs-off-on-Arsenal, Rob Currin!
