“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!

Adios 2023…

 

Cheers & Happy New Year!

 

Pab

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:”

 

 

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…

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…

Merry Christmas!

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:”

 

 

 

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!

We had 6 successful jokers! 5 hammerings! 3 close games! 1 heartbreaker! 1 correct score heartbreaker! 8 away wins! And, 1 draw!

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

So that’s why the VAR lot are in an office miles away from the ground…

 

 

 

“Magick”:

It’s official! Not predicting on all the games is a Winter 2023 “thing”!

In a week that saw only four PASers get 30 points or more (no, really), skipping, forgetting, bypassing or ignoring paid dividends.

Dom W kept up his impressive form, but fatally completed all his predictions and was denied the weekly prize thanks to latest goal of the week at Watford (96′) and The Posh’s (92′) third v Oxford United. Waaaaah!

My mum, in some weird current form symbiosis with Everton, missed the last game but picked up added-on time correct scores courtesy of Liverpool (91′) and Motherwell (91′). Oh, and she plucked an absolute gem at Rugby Park…

So it was left to two youngsters to duke it out for the £20.

Harry H missed 3 games, bagging 2 correct scores in the process, and landed the Motherwell 1-1 that had him sitting pretty… only for that Peterborough goal to deny him a certain win. Ooof!

Roll up Sam Osmond 34 (5) who decided(?!) to miss the first 4 games AND the last 5 games and yet still come away victorious – glorious!

Just to rub it in, those 9 “misses” bagged him 33% of his winning total…

He did the math!

 

 

 

 

“Gravity’s Rainbow”:

Meanwhile, in a ridiculous week for scorelines, 20 punters wallowed in the misery of fifteen points or less.

A great big eight of youse didn’t register a correct score.

And after weeks of being avoided, we had one poor soul rocking up with less than 10 points.

Matthew Stafford 8 (0) I fear this could be the talk of the family Christmas get-together if you don’t redeem yourself quick sharp!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bloomin’ ‘eck…most popular score was Huddersfield’s 1-1 with Bristol City – 29 of youse got that!

 

Nineteen were grateful for the 3-1 Rangers win over Dundee

4 had Leicester’s merciless deconstruction of Plymouth

Danny B & Mark S believed in VAR Villa. A 1-0 kinda belief…

Bijay L was all over the 0-1 to Sheff Wed at Stoke

Danny A got Brighton 1 Burnley 1

Howard T felt Fergie vibes when that Peterborough 92nd minute goal secured a 5 pointer 3-0 against Oxford Utd

Greg F had his secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Carrow Road

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Patricia Fernandez for her mum-really-is-the-word-on-how-i-predicted-this inspired, Kilmarnock 2 Celtic 1!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Neil Meredith was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Close, but not close enough…

 

Aberdeen to win – 92′ winner!

Saka – anytime assist – erm…

Luton v Man City over 3.5 goals – ooooooh, so close!

 

Come on Jackie, make it super!

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Golden Skans”:

Andy Fowler stays top, now 24 points ahead of Dom W who, in turn, is eleven points ahead of Anders H in third.

It’s over, isn’t it?!

 

 

ONE crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

“It’s Not Over Yet”:

Danny Ashworth stays bottom, now 9 points off Julian F, who, in turn, is one point adrift of Mike K…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Atlantis To Interzone”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 19(!) places is Sam Osmond – honourable mentions go to Hira Y (+14), Norman L (+15), Chris D (+13), Tom W-S (+15), Neil M (+13), Max M (+14), Lee T (+14), and Patricia F (+14).

‘Bout time Arsenal got a decision…

 

 

 

“Fireworks”:

There were 29 games on the card this week (we lost 1 Scottish game) and of them, 11 (count ’em!) had goals in the 90th minute and beyond!

And boy did people lap them up this week…

Twenty eight PASers scored 30 points or more as the scrap to be top dog proved to be rabid.

Six went to forty points and upwards with, notably, Dom W slamming in a 10 pointer.

Matthew M & Richard H went close as they notched 4 correct scores thanks to “added on time” goals and, remarkably, Mark S & Simon Linds registered 5 correct scores each thanks to the fourth official!

But our winner this week used the trendy “I’m gonna miss predicting at least one game” ploy coupled with 5 of the aforementioned 90 minute+ correct scores to nab the £20 prize.

Yep, Paul Vinson 51 (7) that was you – I’m guessing you won the lottery, pools and the local bingo as well with that luck mate!

 

 

 

 

“It’s A Shame”:

If you were at this end this week you can absolutely feel hard done by, aggrieved and sorry for yourself!

Only three players didn’t get more than 15 points and 4 didn’t get a correct score (harsh for Justin C!)…

Sam Arora 12 (0) propped us all up this week with one of the highest worst scores ever – unlucky!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wowsers…most popular score was Leicester’s last gasp 1-2 win at West Brom – 29 of youse got that!

 

Nineteen got the very annoying last minute spoiling St Johnstone 1 Celtic 3

13 had Brentford’s 3-1 win over Luton

Twelve we’re so happy for Bournemouth 2-2 Aston Villa they will actually wear that ballet dress…

8 doffed a cap to Wrexham’s 3-0 deconstruction of Yeovil Town in the Cup

Seven said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Chelsea 3 Brighton 2

6 made us all green by happening upon Leeds 3-2 Middlesbrough 2

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Dom Webber for his mum’s-the-word-on-how-i-predicted-this inspired, Motherwell 3 Dundee 3!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Rowan Marriott was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 9 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Can you apply some of that scouse “knowhow” and rob the bookies please la!

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“The Lion’s Roar”:

Andy Fowler stays top, now a huge 29 points ahead of Gareth M who, in turn, is three points ahead of Dom W in third.

Can the imperious march be halted?!

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

“Blue”:

Danny Ashworth stays bottom, now 12 points off Julian F, who, in turn, is still three correct scores adrift of Jasper M…

“Harry Maguire is known for his huge head, but he can’t store all that much in there.

“If at first you don’t succeed, Kai, try, try again…”

 

 

 

“The Sweetest Girl”:

Guess how many scored more than 30 points this week?!?!

Go on, guess!

What? No, not that many – guess again!

No! Wrong again!

Again!

Again!

Come on…

Give up?!

Good.

It was two! Mad, eh?!

That meant it was all up for grabs then and most grabbiest were…

…the resurgent Mike K (with a three x 5 pointers about his canon), Nick H (who benefitted from 3 added-time goal correct scores), and Matthew S (who nearly sneaked up on the blindside with his under the radar correct score for Huddersfield).

That left our two Thirty Point Club members vying for the weekly prize.

 

Dickie H somehow construed to miss 19 games but still bag 3 correct scores to go with his late show West Ham prediction.

And there he sat present & correct until the winnings were literally snatched from his pocket as VAR intervened at Craven Cottage at 21:49 on Monday to deny him a 2-2 five pointer.

The resultant penalty was duly converted by Willian, which gifted 9 points and sealed the £20 for Lily Templeton 33 (5)

 

Mad, eh?!

 

Congratulation young lady – shout girls aloud!  ; )

 

 

 

 

 

“Oh Patti (Don’t Feel Sorry for Loverboy)”:

And no, it was way more than two people scoring less than 15 points this week.

 

It was 25 actually.

And, eight of them didn’t get a correct score.

Five scored less than 10 points.

 

Unfortunately for Jasper Marriott 6 (0) there was no magic for a magician (no, really!) this week…

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Slim pickings…most popular score was West Ham’s last gasp 1-2 win at Burnley – 32 of youse got that!

 

Fifteen got the dull-all at Dingwall

7 got Swansea City’s “Desmond” with Hull City

Four lapped up the injury time joy of Sheff Utd 1 Bournemouth 3

Four more revelled in the schadenfreude of Fulham’s late late show against VAR victimized Wolves

Stephen P & Matthew M thrilled at the thrilling Nottm Forest 2 Brighton 3

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Lisa Ward for her so-i’m-a-dummy-huh?-glory-box-this-then! inspired, Everton 0 Man Utd 3!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Martin Stafford was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Ooops!

 

Let’s win enough to build you another hotel fella!

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Absolute”:

Andy Fowler stays top, now a massive 19 points ahead of Gareth M who, in turn, is two points ahead of Olly O in third.

Is the title race over?!

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)”:

Danny Ashworth slips two places to the basement, 1 point off Julian F, who, in turn, is three correct scores adrift of Jasper M…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The Boom Boom Bap”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Dickie Holloway – honourable mentions go to Lily T (+21), Nick H (+19), Matthew S (+20), and Stephen P (+16).

“Dock…”

 

 

 

“Blitzkrieg Bop”:

Usually, if you finish behind Mr 2-0 you can rightfully feel a little hard done-by.

You put in all that effort to hone “that winning total” only to find if you hadn’t bothered, you would have saved yourself, oooh, 15 minutes and gained at the same time.

This week, there was mucho consternation about the aforementioned “Mr” as the 2-0 scorelines rolled in over the 6 day International Week.

“How dare he!”, “It’s an outrage!” “It’s not fair!” hollered various Mr Angry’s from Purley, Portrush and, erm, Potsdam.

Well, fear not people, he (alongside his 6 followers) didn’t win, so do not feel hard done-by getting beat by a 38 point haul!

 

Twenty-six PASers scored more than 30 points this week…

Dave C finally found his mojo and went close, Paul F, who continues to impress, also went close and Ben H nearly did it with only 3 correct scores (imagine!)

But it was all decided by one 90th minute Leandro Trossard goal.

Andy F, like his beloved Toffees, was cruelly robbed of points…and those eight that escaped denied him a hat-trick of weekly £20 prizes (blimey!)

That same goal gifted Justin Corliss 42 (4) the 9 point correct score he needed to take him clear of the chasing pack…

 

Bravo Mr C, I suggest getting a few Leffes in to celebrate! Hic!

 

 

 

 

“The KKK Took My Baby Away”:

Do you wish you had settled for the default score this week?

10 punters didn’t get a correct score.

Only two scored less than 15 points!

And those two are had-in-hand propping up the rest.

 

Who?

Bijay Lama & Max Morgan 14 (0)

 

Go easy on yerselves boys…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Scores were there to be had, but not many were got…most popular score was Wales’ 1-1 draw with Turkey – 16 of youse got that!

 

Fifteen just knew Gibraltar wouldn’t score against the Netherlands for a 0-6

14 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Belgium 5 Azerbaijan 0

Thirteen had Hugary’s 3-1 win over Montenegro

11 grateful for the 3-1 Spanish win over Georgia

Mark S, Simon Linds & Norman L got the 1-3 Spain win in Cyprus

Matthew S got Netherlands 1 Ireland 0

Pete B decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Ukraine v Italy. And he did…

Andy F landed on the two-two in Georgia for Scotland.

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Danny Bushell for his there’s-no-14-0-showboating-going-on-here inspired, Greece 2 France 2!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Simon Lindsay was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

He failed but went pretty close…

 

 

I’m expecting great things from you M!

 

 

Table News:

 

“Baby, I Love You”:

Andy Fowler storms to the summit, a big 9 points ahead of Olly O who, in turn, is five points ahead of Gareth M in third.

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“I Wanna Be Sedated”:

Mike Krasnowski stays anchored to the bottom, 7 points off Julian F, who, in turn, is four points adrift of Danny A…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Rock n Roll High School”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 28 places is Ben Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Justin C (+27), Dave C (+22), Sam O (+22), Orla McKeown (+22), and Neil M (+20).

 

 

 

 

“Teenage Lobotomy”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 21 places is Bijay Lama – dishonourable mentions go to Max M (-19), Simon B (-19), Roshan T (-17), Matthew S (-18) and Hira Y (-17).

“He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich…”

 

 

 

“The Sweetest Thing”:

I have to say, this season is shaping up as one of the closest for a long long time – the predicting is getting universally consistent and the notable correct scores continue to roll in – bravo gente!

This is late (soz!) so I’ll cut to the chase…

Ironic really, as there was no chase this week ( or is that coincidence? Alanis! C’mere!)

Nineteen players scored 30 points or more, two went beyond the “haughty forty” and our £20 weekly prize winner totted up the best tally of the season so far!

Young Luke S put up a spirited challenge but his 43 points palled in comparison to Paul Carter 54 (7).

Our first runaway winner of the season smashed in 4 x five pointers and 2 x 9 pointers that had him feet up basking early doors…

For an ‘Ammer resident Down Under, the weekend must have looked like heaven from 2.20pm (GMT) onwards on Saturday!

And yes Paul, see, I can mention Australia without falling into lazy sweeping generalisations – fair dinkum eh?!

 

 

 

“If Looks Could Kill”:

Even at the wrong end of everything, there have been consistent shoots of optimism this season!

15 punters scored fifteen points or less this week and only four couldn’t muster a correct score (big commiserations to Harry H though – he got to 20 points “unboosted”. Proper harsh.)

And yet again, everyone got into double figures this week.

Someone had to finish last though, and it was our sole Bristolian (residing in Portishead) who was more slush than lush.

Lisa Ward 13 (1), you are a dummy.

Sour times, eh?!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Monster monster scoring…most popular score was Southampton’s 2-1 win over West Brom Alb – 31 of youse got that!

 

Nineteen believed in the Villa. A 3-1 kinda belief…

10 saw Sunderland sinking Brum 3-1

Eight had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at The Ricoh Arena

8 more just knew Arsenal wouldn’t keep a clean sheet for a 3-1 v Burnley

Seven got 3 goal demolition of Brentford by Liverpool

6 made us all green by happening upon Ipswich 3-2 Swansea

Neil T, Simon Linds & Luke S decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards on the QPR v Bristol City game. And they did…

Howard T nabbed the form book upsetting Brighton 1 Sheff Utd 1

I bribed Dave & Dan to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the back end and waltzed off with Boro 1 Leicester 0

Simon Linds thanked the Lord for Soucek (88’) at West Ham 3-2 Nottm Forest

Paul C was well away with the 2-3 away win for Oxford at Orient

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Debbie Lee for her yep-i’m-back-baby-and-how inspired, Crystal Palace 2 Everton 3!

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dickie Holloway was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

 

Table News:

 

“Razzle Dazzle Rose”:

Gareth Morgan stays top, but now only 1 correct score ahead of Andy F who, in turn, is two points ahead of Paul C in third.

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Lloyd, I’m Ready To Be Heartbroken“:

Mike Krasnowski slips one place to the bottom, 2 points off both Julian F & Suman K…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Do It Again”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 32 places is Luke Stafford – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+25), Will O (+19), Dan W (+15), and Debbie L (+19).

Ahhhh, remember when football was a simple straightforward game…

 

 

 

“Pounding”:

I’m not going to mention it…

 

In another “correct score fest” of a week, only six PASers managed to score more than 30 points.

In a week where it appeared de rigueur to NOT predict all the games (yep, I missed 15 of them!) at least 3 contenders for the £20 weekly prize could claim that’s what hampered them.

Kate S missed 1 game, Reagon K missed 3 and Rob C missed 4 – but all came within striking distance of winning (spare a thought for Rob C though, that 100th minute Sheff U penalty ultimately did for him!)

Paul F challenged all the way right up to an unlikely 4 points at Luton courtesy of a 95th minute equaliser.

 

But where Spurs failed, one of their own succeeded.

 

Jazz Sian 38 (6) stayed disciplined, predicted all 30 games and can thank a certain B Fernandes for his 91st winner securing two victories…

 

The King is back!

 

 

 

“There Goes The Fear”:

I’m still not going to mention it…

 

Ten players couldn’t get over the line marked “15 points”

6 of them didn’t get a correct score.

All of them avoided a single-figure score week.

Propping up the rest this week, in-keeping with the family trait of not being very good at this game, is Greg Fleming 11 (0)

 

He’s not going to mention it either…

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Another bumper week…most popular score was Celtic’s 0-3 win at Ross County – 24 of youse got that!

 

Twenty got the 1-3 Gers win over the Jambos

9 will shout out loud about the 4-0 humbling of Solihull Moors by Bolton

Five got WBA 3 Hull City 1

Danny B, Andy F & Elliot D lapped up the 100th minute joy of Sheff U 2 Wolves 1

Rob C, Norman L & John D felt Fergie vibes when this Norwich 92nd minute consolation goal secured a 5 pointer 1-3 v Blackburn

Julian F, Matthew M & Max M got the dull-all at the Swansea.com Stadium

Martin S, Reagon K & Andy B celebrated the bore draw between Huddersfield & Watford

Julian F (again!), Tim P & Lisa W said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their PNE 3 Coventry City 2

Jamie S, Nick H & Deepak B celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 3-2 between Brentford & West Ham

Anders H & David G turned up Stoke 0 Cardiff 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Sam A & Predictz snaffled up the 2-2 & 5 points served up by Birmingham & Ipswich

Reagon K saw his typo come good on the game at Newcastle

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Paul Flaherty for his howay-(man)-i’m-sure-i’ll-have-a-great-weekend-what-with-late-goals-and-VAR-decisions inspired, Luton Town 1 Liverpool 1!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

George Triantafillou was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 5 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Another “winner”!

 

So, £2.56 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd taking in to £5.56 – good effort G!

 

 

Dickie H, Tom W-S & Ben H are at 60th this week – newcomer Dickie Holloway was first out the hat…

 

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

 

Are you going to treat us to a South Coast special?

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Catch The Sun”:

Gareth Morgan moves up one place to the summit, 6 points ahead of Andy F who, in turn, is one point ahead of Kate S in third.

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

“Kingdom Of Rust“:

Julian Fernandez is still bottom (no birthday luck then bro…), now 5 points off Mike K, who, in turn, is six correct scores(!) away from Thomas S…

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Here It Comes”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 31 places is Rob Currin – honourable mentions go to Jazz S (+24), Paul F (+18), Andy K (+16), Matthew M (+18), Deepak B (+18), and Reagon K (+25).

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places is Lee Taylor – dishonourable mentions go to Simon B (-18), Paul V (-18), and Tom W-S (-17).

One won their game with 15 points & 2 lost theirs with 27 points!
