PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 7 round up

Lolz…

 

Sexy Boy:

What can you say about this week?

Not a lot.

So I won’t…

Only ONE person scored over 30 points this week!

And he won it.

At a canter…

Not sure how(ay) he did it, but Chris Dixon 37 (6) rose up from the depths of 89th in the League to spectacularly snatch up the £20 weekly prize.

 

So, yeah.

Amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

J’ai Dormi Sous L’eau:

So yeah, we all did bad!

But some more badder than others.

Nineteen couldn’t even reach 15 points.

Eleven didn’t manage a correct score (spare a thought for Roshan T though!)

And two didn’t make double figures.

Elliot D’s blushes were spared by Reagon Karki 5 (0). Yep, five.

 

Not sure how you did it mate…

So, yeah.

Amazing!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I can only gawp in awe…most popular score was Celtic’s 3-1 win over St Johnstone – 18 of us got that!

 

Nine doffed a cap to Hibernian’s 3-0 deconstruction of Livvy

Olly O, Ben H & Damian W we’re so happy for Man Utd 2-2 Liverpool they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Frankie F, Neil C & David G turned up Rotherham 0 Huddersfield 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there

Dave C & Sam A revelled in the schadenfreude of Chelsea’s late late show against Leicester in the Cup

Chris D was well away with the 0-1 away win for Sutton Utd

Louis W believed in Ross County. A 2-1 kinda belief…

Neil T had his secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at the Stadium of Light

Julian F was all over the 0-3 to Norwich at Stoke.

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stanley Marriott for his I-knew-Man Yoo-would-beat-Liverpool-too-cos-I-love-Mainoo inspired, Barrow 0 Harrogate Town 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dave Crisp was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 6 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Luton to beat Forest – ooooh!
QPR to win at Sunderland – ahhhhh!
Norwich to win at Stoke – yep
Unlucky Davide – you were close fella!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th, leaving it on £2.85 – never mind…

 

 

Justin Corliss is at 45th this week….

 

J, I need your 3 team selection by Thursday morning, please!

 

 

Can you get us back on track…in International Week?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

You Make It Easy:

Paul Vinson vaults up 3 to the top spot, 1 point ahead of Roshan T who, in turn, is five points ahead of Simon B in third…

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

All I Need:

Neil Critchlow stays propping up the rest, now ten points behind Thomas S who, in turn, is fourteen points adrift of Predictz…ha!

 

 

 

 

Kelly Watch The Stars:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 25 places is Chris Dixon – honourable mentions go to Sam A (+24), Eddie O (+16), and Jasper M (+15).

 

 

 

How Does It Make You Feel?:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 26 places is Reagon K – dishonourable mentions go to Elliot D (-20), Andy B (-18), Nick H (-18), and Pab (-18). I know, I know…

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 6 round up

Nothing to see here…

 

Just Like Honey:

I’ll cut to the chase here as my nose is still bleeding from the heady heights of life above & beyond the “Round of Arsenal” in the Champions League…<big smiley emoji>

 

Big totals posted once again, as eighteen punters scored 30 points or more with Paul V, Julian F & Charlie H putting in half decent shifts.

Frankie F, once again benefitting from not doing her scores and muggins here doing them for her, went closer.

And Rich L went close(ish) courtesy of 3 x 90 min+ goals from Luton, Fulham & Millwall.

 

However, Sam Arora 47 (7) rolled back the years and then some.

The return of the good times guaranteed by Jacob Murphy’s 90th minute consolation at Chelsea.

 

Congrats Sam, the £20 weekly prize will be with you very soon…reckon this win can tempt the other Aroras back to the fold next season?

 

 

 

Far Gone & Out:

Seeing the rest of the field pull away from you isn’t a nice feeling is it?

5 players experienced that sinking feeling this week, scoring fifteen points or less.

Six couldn’t buy a correct score (spare a thought for poor ol’ Justin C though…)

But only one didn’t break into double figures…

Step into the light, Neil Critchlow 9 (0), you are this week’s Rotherham.

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Some corkers here…most popular score was Coventry’s 1-2 win at Watford – 28 of us got that!

 

Eleven got the very annoying last minute spoiling Chelsea 3 Newcastle Utd 2

6 nailed Hull City 2 Leicester City 2

Six more thanked the Lord for Neil Warnock and Aberdeen 3 Kilmarnock 1

4 thrilled at the thrilling Mansfield Town 3 Swindon Town 2

Rowan M & John J obviously guessed Southampton would beat Sunderland 4-2

Rukesh J nabbed the form book upsetting PNE 1 Stoke City 2

Matthew M banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Exeter & Bolton

Julian F quite rightly predicted Norwich’s 5-0 thrashing of Rotherham

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Will Oppomg for his I’m-currently-distracted-by-the-egg-chasing-but-still-able-to-pull-a-plum-like-this inspired, Celtic 4 Livingston 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Chris Dixon was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 5 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

“Here are my three selections for BoTW: Fingers-crossed they’ll be dancing on the streets of Hunstanton, Marchwood and Norris Green come Sunday night…”
– Norwich City to beat Rotherham United – over at HT
– Southampton to beat Sunderland – bit of a scare with 10 mins to go, but…
– Liverpool to beat Manchester City – what was Diaz doing??!
Norris Green was a distinctly dance-free streets zone…but it was close to a proper ceilidh!
Unlucky, Christopher.

So, £1.37 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd, bringing it to £13.45 – not bad!

 

 

Dave Crisp is at 60th this week….

 

Crispy, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

What a shame we just missed out on Cheltenham…

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Reverence:

Roshan Thepa remains top, 4 points ahead of Simon B who, in turn, is five correct scores ahead of Louis W in third…

 

 

One crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Darklands:

Neil Critchlow drops to the bottom, six points behind Thomas S who, in turn, is eighteen points adrift of Rukesh K

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes Always:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 37 places is Sam Arora – honourable mentions go to Julian F (+25), Rich L (+28), Charlie H (+30), Paul C (+25), and Francesca F (+20).

 

 

 

 

Upside Down:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 23 places is Pawan GC – dishonourable mentions go to Jamie S (-17), Neil M (-17), Eddie O (-20), Justin C (-20), Jack B (-18), and Patricia F (-17). Happy birthday Mum!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 5 round up

Dropped a bol ball…

 

 

 

Check Out My New Jesus:

Well, that was some week, eh?! I did plan to rave & gush but I think it’s all been said already (thank you, Chris Wilder!) so I’ll keep my counsel like the good host I am…

In a week where we only had 29 games again due to “the curse of Barrow”, it proved really good for most. (please note: that I pulled up short on saying “wheelie good” there…)

Twenty four people managed 30 points or more and five of them cracked the 40 point threshold. And, three of them were in with a shout for the £20 prize…right to the end.

Debbie L went close and must be rueing missing predictions on 5 games, especially as Fulham’s late goal denied her a win!

Maffew W reminded us he’s still in the building, smashing home that 10 pointer, a correct score from St Mirren’s 96th & 97th goals, and another courtesy of Newcastle’s 92nd minute 3rd…

But is it ironic that his beloved ‘Ammers scoring an unnecessary third in the 95th minute was the reason that done him? (please note: I made nothing of the fact ironic has “iron” in it…)

So that left a newbie to take full advantage of beginner’s luck.

With correct scores raining in thanks to Arsenal, Erling Haaland, Aston Villa and the scourge of Neil Warnock, we witnessed a sensational victory.

 

Yep, debutant Louis Williams 47 (6) can count his lucky stars and will no doubt buy his mate Harry H a pint…as he introduced him to PAS! You will right? Shurely…

Well done Louis, winnings coming your way very soon – bravo young man!

 

 

 

 

 

Dosed & Became Invisible:

If you weren’t stuck in the middle this week, you were stuck in the mire. With me.

6 of us ended up with fifteen points or less.

Three did not record a correct score.

On a brighter note, everyone had a double-digit return!

However, the King is dead…

Jazz Sian 12(0) you regally crossed the line of shame…

All hail!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Yeah, yeah, don’t rub it in…most popular score was WBA’s 2-1 win over Coventry City – 32 of us got that!

 

Twenty had Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Paliss

17 were grateful to Erling for the 3-1 City win in the derby

Sixteen got Brentford’s “Desmond” with Chelsea

14 made us all green by happening upon Luton 2-3 Aston Villa

Nine were on that cloud after Arsenal’s 0-6 shellacking of Sheffield Utd

5 got the dull-all at Deepdale

Five more landed on the two-two in Dundee. The wrong side of Dundee, btw…

4 got the 1-3 Reading win against Carlisle Utd

Four more felt Fergie vibes when those 91st & 95th minute goals secured a 5 pointer 1-3 for West Ham at Everton

Matt W, Paul C & Damian W got Newcastle 3 Wolves 0

My mum & Rukesh K saw their typos come good on the game at Leicester!

Chris D was all alone with Bristol City 0 Cardiff City 1

Lily T doesn’t care about who dropped a ball where  – she landed Forest 0 Liverpool 1

Paul C (again!) lapped up the injury time joy of Fulham 3 Brighton 0

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rukesh Koju for his I-might-have-only-got-two-scores-right-but-just-look-at-them! inspired, Rangers 1 Motherwell 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

I was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 3 so I asked myself to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

I went for a south London special but also went with feeling over thinking…

AFC Wimbledon to beat Franchise Scum FC – yes! In the 94th minute! And back at Plough Lane!

Palace to win at Spurs – after an hour it was looking good…

Sutton to win at Tranmere – still in with a shout up to 86 minutes…

Lesson learned?

Good will overcome. Wombles are good!

Spurs spoil everything for everyone always.

Sutton (and its people) are never to be trusted. I hope they go down…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – sorry…

 

 

Chris Dixon is at 83rd this week….

 

Mr D, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Let’s hope you do better than moi…

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

1:

Roshan Thepa moves up to the top spot, 2 points ahead of Louis W who, in turn, is three points ahead of Matt W in third…

 

 

Four crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Alzheimers:

Thomas Stafford stays in the basement slot, five points behind Neil C who, in turn, is nine points adrift of Rukesh K

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 4 round up

The Godfather of Madchester

 

 

 

In Yer Face:

It’s getting competitive folks!

For all of us…especially this week if you’re called Paul (except if you’re one that lives in Australia)

 

Sixteen players scored 30 points or more this week with four of them duking it out to the bitter end.

Rowan M smashed home a 5 pointer, a nine-pointer, and then a TEN pointer!

Matthew S & Paul F both benefitted from added-on-time goals at Celtic & Coventry to stake their claim to the £20 weekly prize…

But it was Paul Vinson 39 (5) who just edged it thanks to that Coventry fifth, Ipswich’s 92nd minute 3rd, and two nine-pointers including the really annoying Arseanl one (yeah, guess who had 4-0?)

 

Congrats Dr. V, I’m sure twenty nicker goes a fair way down at the Broadfield Stadium!

 

 

 

 

Ooops:

Rather aptly, 15 PASers scored fifteen points or less this week.

Alarmingly, 9 of those couldn’t register a correct score.

And,

One poor soul was all alonesome on a single digit total…

That poor soul?

 

Thomas Stafford 8 (0) is on the cusp of a really unwanted PAS hat-trick if he can score nine points or less next week…one point better than last week though T!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Here we go…most popular score was Ipwswich’s 3-1 win over Birmingham – 28 of us got that!

 

Twenty five just knew Motherwell would score against Celtic for a 1-3

Six got the very annoying late consolation spoiling Arsenal 4 Newcastle 1

5 had Coventry’s merciless deconstruction of Maidstone Utd

Four will shout out loud about the humbling of Leicester by Leeds

Nick H & Kate S had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Wem-ber-lee

Rowan M & Deepak B somehow stumbled on West Ham 4 Brentford 2 (how????)

Danny B put us all to shame by predicting Sunderland 1 Swansea City 2

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Crisp for his if-you-think-this-is-impressive-you-should-see-my-Cheltenham-tips inspired, Ross County 3 Livingston 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Andy Brown was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 3 so we asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It went a bit on the pitch scrappy Sheff U…

 

“Right, let’s hope I can pick 3 winners and improve my reputation as it’s not going swimmingly in the table!
Let’s have Coventry to beat Preston on Friday night (more confident on that one than against mighty Maidstone on Monday!).
Next up, Southampton to batter Millwall. No-brainer.
Last but not least, Villa to win at home to Forest.
I know logic should tell me to pick Wolves but I can’t bet against my Blades, even though we have been embarrassingly bad this season. I won’t do it!
There you have it! Let’s hope we get some revenue!”

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – oh well…

 

El Presidente is at 33rd this week….(sort’ve – when you see the table you’ll understand my dilemma decision on this one!)

 

Reminder to self – I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

I will get us back on track!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Olympic:

Simon Buxton goes top, 4 points ahead of Mike C who, in turn, is two points ahead of Roshan T in third…

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 3 round up

Crwoydon’s finest…

 

 

 

Lucky Man:

It was a lively Week 3 right up to, erm, Monday 9.45pm!

A tightly contested field was bunched together as 16 punters reached & breached the 30 point mark.

And, 4 went above & beyond (to the hallowed 40 point threshold) and each of them really could have won it!

It could’ve been Lee T (who must be kicking himself for missing Friday’s game!). Or maybe Justin C (who slammed in 2 x 9 pointers), or Simon B might have even nicked it (but he believed a little too much in that Palace farewell pressie!)

 

Ultimately it came down to a 94th minute Hudson-Odoi goal twinned with five correct scores from the last 8 games that swung it…

 

Charlie Harris 44 (8) must be buzzing as his beloved Trees did the trick and secured him the weekly £20 prize.

 

Good work Chas – like Forest, you’re back <winking emoji>

 

 

 

 

 

On Your Own:

Oooof!

 

Only eight failed to notch up more than 15 points this week.

Six of those suffered the ignominy of collecting zero correct scores…

Only one didn’t hit double figures.

 

Thomas Stafford 7 (0) spared the blushes of Neil C and put the Wigan family honour into disrepute… <fuming emoji>

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Impressive…most popular score was Man Yoo’s 1-2 win at Luton – 27 of youse got that!

 

Eighteen were all over the 0-3 to Rangers at St Johnstone

9 banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt PNE & Blackburn

Seven snaffled up the 5 points served up by Aberdeen v Hibs

4 we’re so happy for Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth they will actually wear that ballet dress in celebration…

Four more celebrated the 4-1 smiting of Reading by Pompey

Neil O, Debbie L & Justin C quite rightly predicted Liverpool’s 1-4 thrashing of Brentford

John K just knew QPR would keep a clean sheet for a o-1 at Bristol City

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matt Worsfold for his I-might-still-be-sulking-about-that-shellacking-from-Arsenal-last-week-but-I-can-still-do-PAS-well-good inspired, Norwich City 4 Cardiff City 1!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Jazz Sian was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

We won (sort’ve)…

 

“An FL72 special – Ipswich, Bolton & Wrexham all to win”

 

Only Charlton getting a very unexpected 3-3 draw at Bolton stopped a 2nd full house in a row…

So, £2.85 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – steady start…

 

 

Andy Brown is at 45th this week….

 

Mr B, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Let’s keep that streak going…

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Sonnet:

Mike Cass stays top, but now only 4 points ahead of Simon B who, in turn, is six points ahead of Danny A in third…

 

 

Four crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

History:

All change! Thomas Stafford drops 2 places to the bottom, five points behind Neil C who, in turn, is two points adrift of Gary M

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bitter Sweet Symphony:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 59 places is Charlie Harris – honourable mentions go to Justin C (+39), Richard H (+28), Tony M (+28), Lee T (+50), Moi (+30), and Paul F (+30).

 

 

 

 

The Drugs Don’t Work:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 37 places is Stanley Marriott (welcome to the Big Boy league kiddo!) – dishonourable mentions go to Martin S (-20), Kate S (-25), Deepak B (-25), Nick H (-22), Damian W (-21), Rob C (-20), and Luke S (-41)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 2 round up

Sixy Beast…

 

 

 

You’re Pretty Good Looking:

If you felt like you had a good chance of winning this week (yes, Frankie did her own scores this week…), unfortunately, you were probably way off the mark!

It was a stretched-out week with a whopping thirty players scoring over 30 points AND 7 punters scoring over forty points… and they were all very much on the mark!

All vying for the £20 prize right to the end…

Mark S landed 9 Toon points & new kid in town, Stanley M got an early lesson on why you should predict on every game (but TBF, he did pick up a correct score from the two games he missed!)

Sam O was another youngster to miss 2 games (but pick up 5 points) but then got robbed by Spurs & a Fernandez whilst Deepak B was praising a Fernandez and that 95th minute consolation for Inverness AND also got 5 points from 2 missed games – phew!

Still with us…

Good.

Emma T racked up 21 correct results & seven correct scores that included that 5 pointer at Inverness.

That left two out front.

Jason M amassed an incredible 23 correct results (I trust you had a big acca in Jay?!) and seven correct scores that benefitted from last gasp goals for Spurs & Ipswich Town.

However, despite being robbed by a Fernandez last night AND missing FIVE games, new kid on the block Mike Cass 47 (9) roared home courtesy of those missed games giving him the 2 correct scores that got him over the line.

 

Wowsers.

 

The self proclaimed “Darling of Darlo” is living up to the hype – game on ladies & gents. game on!

 

 

 

 

Icky Thump:

Meanwhile…

 

Four poor souls scored 15 points or less at the other end.

3 didn’t register a correct score.

 

Gareth Morgan 13 (0) must be feeling a bit Kanesy right now…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Woe is me…most popular score was Leicester’s 1-2 win at Watford – 31 of youse got that!

 

Twenty eight got the 3 goal demolition of Rotherham Utd by Leeds Utd

15 got the 1-3 Hibees win over Inverness C T in the Scottish Cup

Fifteen more felt Fergie vibes when that Enzo F 94th minute goal secured a 5 pointer 1-3 at Palace

14 had Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Burnley

Thirteen got Ipswich’s last minute “Desmond” with WBA

10 were grateful for the 3-1 Mackem win over the Pilgrims

Six nailed QPR 2 Norwich City 2

6 more obviously guessed Toon would beat Forest 2-3

Five believed in Blackburn. A 3-1 kinda belief…

Darren McC & Rowan M nabbed the form book upsetting Fulham 3 Bournemouth 1

Damian W was well away with the 1-2 away win for Bristol City at Boro

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stanley Marriott for his I-might-only-be-9-but-i’m-gonna-be-so-good-at-this-game inspired, Cardiff City 0 Preston North End 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Stuart Fitzsimon 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?!

We wonnnnnnnnnnnn!

“I’ve gone for three away wins:

I have to go for The Arsenal, right? Firstly because I continue to play predict-a-score with my heart over my head, but also because West Ham are due some measure of comeuppance for that turgid yet lucky display at ours back in December. So Arsenal away at West Ham.

Then Leicester away at Watford. Watford keep losing at home and Leicester are generally steamrolling everyone.
Lastly I’ve gone for the HUUUGE six pointer down the bottom of the Scottish Championship. Queens Park have picked up a few wins recently whereas Dunfermline have not, so I’m going with form on that one”
That’s the way you do it!
Our first full house for a while – bravo sir, bravo!

So, £12.08 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – what a start!

 

 

David Goggin & Jazz Sian are at 60th this week….The King was first out the hat, so…

 

J, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Can you follow that performance?

Bring the halcyon days back fella!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

My Doorbell:

All change at the top, Mike Cass goes up one place, opening up a lead of 11 points ahead of Jason M who, in turn, is two correct scores ahead of John J in third…

 

 

Six crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself:

All change at the bottom, Gary Mitchell slides 5 places to the basement slot, two points behind Tim P who, in turn, is two points adrift of Thomas S

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seven Nation Army:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 72 places is Emma Tudor – honourable mentions go to Jason M (+39), Stanley M (+45), Ric P (+43), Deepak B (+71), Sam O (+57), Damian W (+38), Matthew M (+34) and Rob C (+25).

 

 

 

 

The Hardest Button To Button:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 54 places is Pete Britton – dishonourable mentions go to Jamie S (-35), Greg F (-41), Simon Linds (-38), Matthew S (-43), Paul F (-35), and Gareth M (-41)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 1 round up

 Current champ Andy Fowler (trophy incoming!) will have a puzzle to distract him from defending his title…but can you take his crown?

 

 

My Lady Of Mercy:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Arsenal celebrating on the pitch – PAS!

Although, given the sharpness of this update, I could’ve waxed lyrical about “50ps/spitting/a twisted inside out Carra”, how karma works (Granit goes & I come back, and it looks like we’ll both win a title! Everyone’s happy…) and gone into the absurdness of that unnecessary thing called VAR…

 

But I won’t.

 

I’ll cut to the chase as it was all about the “hot out the blocks” points trailblazers – and, they deserve props, right?

Three PASers were 3 x flame emojis this weekend and Nick Hogwood 33 (5) nailed 2 x 5 pointers to power to victory (actually he’s probably more indebted to a certain Everton centre back…)

Martin S eschewed the charms of Mr 2-0 & put up a good fight and plucky newcomer, Mike C, who arrived with big pre-season braggadocio, was only denied a debut first outing win by young Branthwaite of Everton! Oooof!

Also, spare a thought for Roshan T who saw 8 points disappear courtesy of 94th & 91st goals in Liverpool & Burnley also denying him a weekly win – that’s a tough one to take R!

 

 

So, congrats Mr H, £20 winging its way back to you ASAP – everything else is a bonus for you this season now!

 

 

Nothing Matters:

Did you score 30 points + this week? Wow, we’re in awe…

Only three of you managed that, but a whopping 33 punters couldn’t manage 15 points this week  – and a more whopping 22 of those couldn’t muster a correct score!

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Kev’s new hair though, eh?

Anyway…

Everyone bar one managed to break into double digits – so feeling no joy in Week 1 is Orla McKeown 7 (0).

Miss McK, you spared Mr 2-0’s – you’re too kind young lady!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Game on people…most popular score was Man City’s 1-3 win at Brentford – 30 of youse got that!

 

Twenty-three doffed a cap to Rangers’ 3-0 deconstruction of Livingston

5 revelled in the schadenfreude of Everton’s late late show

Simon Lindq, Danny A & John J lapped up the injury time joy of Burnley 2 Fulham 2

El Presidente & newbie Louis W celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that epic 3-1 lap of honor-worthy mauling of Liverpool

Paul C & Damian W got Man Utd 3 West Ham Utd 0

Danny B made us all green by happening upon Dundee 2-3 Heart of Midlothian

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and current Correct Score of the Season, goes to John King for his I-bet-it-was-all-Football-Factory-in-Sussex inspired, Brighton & Hove Albion 4 Crystal Palace 1!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 83rd will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 60th in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 33rd in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 83rd…yeah?!

Good.

 

So, Stuart Fitzsimon is first up.

Fitz, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be homes, aways or draws. Or a mix of all three. It doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or dogs! Or fighting crickets! But not cricket…that’s a step too far!

Let’s get off to a winning start for a change.

No pressure Gooner…

“Kev McCready has introduced a Schrödinger’s cat of complexity into goal celebrations (Friday’s letters). If the only time certain players hit the target is when they are throwing darts, then they will never hit the (goal) target and so will never throw darts and will never hit the (darts) target. Are they both throwing and not throwing darts at the same time?” – Richard Hirst.

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’23 final table round up

“EFL”:

So, who won?

Well…a PASer who has, let’s say, been very much threatening to do this for quite a while now.

Letting the “this-is-how-to-win-a-league-title” weekly performances do the talking “on the pitch” by opting to stay schtum on our What’s App group (erm, the rest of youse are all on there aren’t you?!) paid dividends despite missing out on giving the Arse “zero love”, as is the want of everyone on there…<shakes fist>

It was a close, compacted & confusing season that included a raft of bizarre results, more post 90th minute goals than ever before & yet more tirades of abuse aimed at the much maligned Mr 2-0.

And, whilst the Gunners grind their way to, ahem, the title (please let it happen!!!) with their trust in the process very much ensconced in the real world, our champion pretty much emulated Mikel’s stoicism in the PAS victory!

A few players kinda threatened to win it, but…

No one got really got that close to a tally that now goes into the Top Ten, with a bullet, as the 8th “best winning score” ever!

To be perfectly frank, it was over with 4 weeks left to play…

Our “Winter” champ started the season off at a “middling” 55th, before leaping up to 5th in Week 2 only then to slide to 13th the next week.

Week 4 saw a rally up to 3rd – to then remain in the Top Three for the duration. Blimey.

It was up to 2nd in Week 6 before reaching the summit in Week 8!

More dips?

No.

From Week 10 the screw was turned unerringly to keep the persistent Dom W et al at bay!

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

 

So, lords, ladies & gents, please be upstanding and doff your caps to Andy Fowler 383 (52) – He. Is. A. Winner!

 

I would say do that fabled Fowler white line celebration, but this is a family show…(Sorry. The port is kicking in!)

 

Bravo Mr F, you’ve shown your beloved Toffees the way to score this season!

 

Andrew won by a comprehensive 22 points from a dogged Dom Webber in second place.

Darlo’s “Mr Big” finished an equally impressive sixteen points ahead of a PAS Academy graduate, Harry Hopper, who blossomed into third spot. That West Yorkshire Uni is doing wonders for you H!

Richard Hirst was a “more than a second glance” 9 correct scores behind in the not-too-shabby 4th berth (making him the toast of The Syndicate!), with Nineties PAS old skooler Jamie Sellers 2 points shy in 5th.

Two points futher back, proudly flying the “I’m The Top Girl” banner, Emma Tudor returned to the fold to finish in sixth spot. Good to have you back E, can we have more gee-gee tips next year please?!

Just a mere one correct score back, Gareth Morgan can reflect on a fine season, (same heady heights as “AngeBall”, G?…), finishing in seventh whilst in eighth place (only 2 places back) was the perennial prize bothereer Kate Slee. And, just one point behind her in 9th, across the sea and into Europe, was one of our sizeable German contingent, Pawan GC!

Across another sea to Sweden, we find Anders Hoglund who just edged out the unfortunate Week 3 winner Olly Osmond to finish 10th –  courtesy of two points…golly!

 

 

 

 

“ESL”: 

Only 1 point(!), and only 8 places, separated our new champion from our wooden spoon “champion”, Danny Ashworth 241 (24) in Week 1!

Awkward…

 

Starting in 63rd, poor Dan never really recovered.

Like a role model to rubbish rallying, it was plummet to 94th, then to 95th, stay there for 3 weeks, before climbing to 93rd and adding momentum to get to 92nd!

However, Week 8, and it was down to 94th.

Week 9 saw him sink to the bottom

And there he stayed – securing the wooden spoon by 4 points to round off a miserable PAS year.

Julian F, Suman K, Mike K, & Greg F made gallant efforts over the season to save Daniel’s blushes, but…

 

 

 

Spot Prizers

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

Simon Lindsay on 13th, Sam Osmond on 17th, David Goggin on 23rd, Chris Dixon on 27th, Norman Lee & Paul Flaherty on 33rd, Mr 2-0 on 39th, Lily Templeton on 42nd, Jack Buxton on 45th, John Dowd on 57th, Dan Hogwood on 60th, Simon Lindquist on 65th, Justin Corliss on 71st, Roshan Thapa on 83rd, John Jennings & Deepak Bogati on 89th and Mike Krasnowski on 93rd – small victories, kids!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’23 Week 13 round up

Feliz navidad!

 

He Took Her To A Movie”:

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 us to win at Anfield & Sunderland to beat Coventry 4-2…

However, as Kate S & Richard H couldn’t capitalise on good starts and Norman L decided to miss the first 5 games of an already shortened fixture list, an early Christmas gift was handed over to Ben Hogwood 38 (8)

Ding, dong! (merrily on high)

A couple of added-on time goals at Swansea & Stockport got Mr H on track to land the last weekly twenty quid prize…

 

Surely you’ll keep it Norfolk and it’s Twizzlers all round then Ben?

 

Here’s the science bit – twenty six of youse managed 30 points or more.

 

Merry Christmas!

 

 

 

Destroy Everything You Touch”:

It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute shopping to be done.

Why bother doing your scores?

Paul H, Simon Lindq, John J & Greg F are wondering just that in a week where 6 bods only managed to score less than fifteen points.

Surprised Everton’s run of form came to a juddering halt? Well, don’t be.

Patricia Fernandez 5 (0) spectacularly returned to what she does best as the parallel form with the Toffees continues…don’t tell Sean D, he might choke on his sprouts.

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

A few crackers here…most popular score was Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat of Everton – 19 of youse got that!

 

Fifteen put us all to shame by predicting Leicester City 3 Rotherham United 0

Me & 12 others celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 0-0 at the New Den

Andy C & Nick H thanked the Lord for Dominic Solanke and his 94th minute 9 pointer hat-trick

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to, Nick Hogwood for his Christmas-is-about-family-and-celebrating-together-so-me-&-my-bruv-are inspired, Bristol City 3 Hull City 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Jack Buxton was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

He came up short again.

 

“All three teams to win and BTTS:”

Newcastle – didn’t even score…
Spurs – spot on!
Liverpool – a crossbar away?

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £1.70 – bah, humbug!

 

 

Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.

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

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

Runaway”:

Two crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 22 places is Norman Lee – honourable mentions go to Mr 2-0 (+15), Max Morgan (+14), Mark S (+15) and Thomas S (+14)

 

 

 

 

Ghosts”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 32 places is Patricia Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Matt W (-15), Sion Linds (-22), Jason M (-15) and Howard T (-17)

 

Full season update is imminent once I can work out what day it is…

 

Actually, I’ll get it done before you go back to work in the New Year – honest!

 

 

PAS Cup 2024:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2024 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 mis amigos…

 

 

 

 

PAS Champions League 2023/24 Knockout Stages: Congratulations to the players who made it through to the knockout stages – you’re like, the best!

 

Final group tables can be found here

 

 

 

 

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 be early February – but fear not! You’ll be getting a constant stream of reminders…

 

Oh, and don’t forget to  bring some friends along in 2024…

 

 

Special thanks to Dan & Dave once again for all their tireless work behind the scenes – they’ve really earned their sub-minimum wage salaries lately…

 

Prize Money Update  – League prize money will be paid out pronto! (Less your entry fee for next season, natch…)

 

Oh, and this

 

Merry Christmas!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’23 Week 12 round up

Get well soon Tom…

 

 

 

My Star:

Just when all those last kick-of-the-game correct score-robbing heartache goals suddenly go your way for a change (coupled with some encouraging league form) you can kinda get excited about, maybe, the cherry on top £20 weekly prize accolade coming your way, right?

Only 6 PAS punters checked in with 30 points or more this week.

Pete B basked in the glow of added-on-time correct scores at Oxford and Millwall.

Darren McC had that Oxford result too, and he continues to replicate his Super 6 form in the big boys predicting game.

Yours truly bagged Millwall, the 9 pointer 96th minute winner secured 3-2 at Plymouth, and two nil-nils…

Only for the 94th minute goal at Sheff Wed to dash the dream!

So just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, current back-to-back League Champion, Dan Wayman 35 (5) emerged from the murky depths, bared his teeth, and got back to what he’s done best for the last two seasons.

No faff or fuss, just straight-up spot-on predicting.

 

Fair play Dan, but be warned, I’ve asked Santa for a bigger boat…

 

 

 

 

 

F.E.A.R.:

Meanwhile…

 

Fourteen players couldn’t register more than 15 points this week.

9 of those didn’t have a correct score between them.

Three musket-hounds failed to get into double figures…

 

Dan Hogwood, Bijay Lama & John Dowd 9 (0) don’t despair, there’s only a week to go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Like London buses…most popular score was Villa’s 1-2 win at Brentford – 34 of youse got that!

 

Eleven got the 3 goal demolition of Burton Albion by Oxford Utd

El Presidente, Pete B & Rowan M will shout out loud about the last minute joy of Plymouth beating Rotherham 3-2

Pab & Predictz turned up Burton 0 Barnsley 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Chris D & Dan W landed on the two-two in East Anglia. The wrong side of East Anglia btw…

Danny A celebrated the bore draw between St Mirren & Motherwell

John J just knew Hull would keep a clean sheet for a 3-0 v Cardiff

Harry H somehow stumbled on Newcastle 3 Fulham 0 (how????)

Me, I decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Anfield And I did…whoop whoop!

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Patricia Fernandez (again!) for her I-am-Everton-and-Everton-is-me-so-get-a-load-of-this-current-form-you-so-called-experts inspired, Man City 2 Crystal Palace 2!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Jack Buxton 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?!

Close again, but not close enough again!

 

“…may as well try and make some money out of it!!

All three teams to win and BTTS:”

Ipswich – all the goals but not a win
Middlesbrough – yes!
Leeds – all the goals but not a win
Unlucky Jack, but come back soon & try again!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on £4.77 – wevs…

 

 

Jack Buxton & Hira Yonzan are at 33rd this week – amazingly, Jack was first out the box hat, so…

 

Jackie, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Go get ’em!

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Golden Gaze:

Andy Fowler stays top, still 24 points ahead of Dom W who, in turn, is eight points ahead of Jamie S in third.

I’m calling it, we have a champion…

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

Can’t See Me:

Danny Ashworth stays bottom, now only 1 point off Julian F, who, in turn, is three points adrift of Mike K

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time Is My Everything:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 32 places is Dan Wayman – honourable mentions go to Pete B (+16), and Chris D (+15).

 

 

 

Illegal Attacks:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 21 places is John Dowd – dishonourable mentions go to John K (-15), and Norman L (-17).

PAS Champions League Group Stages 2023/24:

Matchday 6 Group games went ahead this week…

It. Was. Exciting. And. Decisive!

Four won their games with 19 points & 1 lost theirs with 25 points!

PAS Cup 2024:
