“We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful”:

Could there ever be a new Jazz S? Surely not – we’d have to get a new trophy for a start…

One young man is slowly but surely collecting money every PAS season and he’s already bagged his first £20 weekly win to add to the haul…

Jamie Tofeili 39 (7) strikes again and will be able to pay his brother back his entry fee now! Or just go down the pub & glug the broon…#toontoon

“I’ll Never Be Anybody’s Hero Now”:

What’s the betting Savan Arora 10 (0) smashes it next week even if it’s just to stop his brother texting him “LOLs” & “LMAOs” & “YAFSAPASs”? #drnotfeelgood

“Misty Morning, Albert Bridge”:

There’ll be dancing on the streets of Beeston, Chilwell & um, Sherwood Forest this week, with added frivolity in Manchester’s Guinness serving hostelries after work no doubt, as “The Syndicate’s” perennial whipping boy comes good.

Richard Hirst 52(9) has Sweden’s late recovery against Austria to thank  – that 4 pointer put Rich 4pts ahead of Nick H & Dan P (he had real issues with the new system this week!). Congrats Tricky, one to tell young Josh about eh?! #puttingmoneyinthepot

“Rainy Night In Soho”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well do it like Sp*rs! Gareth Morgan 14 (0) is all alone at the bottom despite Norman L’s best efforts to keep him company. Commiserations G, at least your website got a mention last week! #mindthegap

ps – school night drinking is very very wrong….

“Here Comes Your Man”:

Just like his team he dropped the “Suso” this season and just his team he immediately started reaping the benefits! In fact he’s gone one better than his team by being on the actual top of the league!

Ryan “ex-Suso” Graves 38(7) has, ironically, got Everton to thank after they capitulated to Man City despite taking the lead – that 5 pointer edged Ryan 1pt ahead of the hapless Steve M (he had real issues with the new system this week!) who himself was holding off Danny A. Congrats Rhiannon, you’re our first official online winner! #thisishistory

“Debaser”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well fail in the first week eh! Vim Gupta 11 (0) is all alone at the bottom despite Dave T’s best efforts to keep him company. Commiserations Vim, you’re our first online loser! #f*ckhistory

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite a few correct scores knocking about (this online malarkey is suiting you!)… most popular score was Man Yoo’s 2-1 win away at Sunderland – 21 of us got that!

11 got the 1-3 at Carrow Road and another 11 got the 3-1 between Man City & Everton. 

4 got the 1-2 at St Andrew’s & four more got the zero-zero between Bury & Newport.

Julian F/Simon B/Alex R got Forest’s 1 -3 win over Brighton, Gary B/Mark S/Ian P got Charlton 0 Blackpool 0 and Michelle F & Will O got Donny’s 3-0 win over The Foxes.

Simon Lindq got Hibs’s narrow defeat of Partick.

Jamie T got Ross County 1 Aberdeen 0.

Steve T got his team’s inevitable defeat at Derby.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Tony Morris for his Palace-actually-scoring inspired, Liverpool 3 Crystal Palace 1.

Bet of the Week:

We had varying degrees of success (actually about 1 degree…) with this last season where the weekly winners used the populist “Goal Rush” method (pick 3, 4 & 5 matches where both teams will hit the net) or the traditional 5 homes, 4 aways & 3 draws.

So, during the beta-testing at the start of the season we introduced the “BotW” poll for everyone to have a say by using the three most popular selections to form the bet – and guess what?! It worked! Until I got involved with my own money…

Anyway, we’ve stuck with it and this week’s 75p trixie went as follows – 

Votes: 49

Selections: Man City 24% /Birmingham 15% /Peterborough 13%

Prize Slot: 33rd 

Returns: £2.62. Whoo, and indeed, whoo! 40p down, but hey, it’s not the usual £3!

Don’t forget to cast your vote every week but make sure you do it by 10am on a Saturday (or in Week 2‘s case, 1pm on Friday!)

Table News:

It’s Week 1 – it is what it is!

Please be aware we may lose some players but we may gain some (especially as Mr 2-0 had a good showing) so if you know anyone out there who wants to get involved, put them in touch!

ps – please be aware Week 2 kicks off at 5 o’clock on FRIDAY!

pps – a message from Gareth M – “How’s things going? I’ve just launched a new website – may not be everybody’s cup of tea – but thought i’d flag it up to all PAS members – It’s outdoor sports and travel. Running, surfing, climbing, cycling, triathlon, travel, cool photos and interviews, that kind of thing.
