Hola!

First off, we had loads of 0-7s and one 0-9 – ooooooooh one out! However, we did have a 0-8…

Two young ladies on 30 points are leading the way and one poor lad is marooned on 8 points (after seeing his 0-7 scuppered!)

Full Week 8 round up after the final 7 games are played (weather permitting!)

Week 9 starts early(ish) again this week with some Good Friday fixtures kicking off at 3pm (sacrilege!)

It’s also the Champions League QF 2nd leg, so could all the other 3 quarter finalists remember to play a “Joker”!

Cheers,
Pab

“Just Like Honey”:

I think you’d agree it was a top weekend for Man Utd & Arsenal. It was a double good weekend then for Paul Henshaw & Felix Hines 27(5) who both managed to win the weekly £20 prize between them with possibly the lowest winning score ever! A tenner it is each chaps, maybe you can buy your Citeh & Sp*rs friends a pint…

“Darklands”:

Obviously a week of doubles, good & bad. Very bad for Michelle Fernandez & Nick Hogwood 8(0) who bring shame upon their family name, that frankly, just shouldn’t be tolerated, eh Dan? ;-)

Correct Score of the Week:

Imagine tumbleweed rolling past your vista… most popular score was Wigan’s last gasp 2-1 win at the DW – 17 of you got that!

9 got the 0-0 at the Britannia.

James C & Andy C got Villa’s 3-2 with QPR.

Howard T got Huddersfield’s 1-2 win over Dirty Leeds and Francesca F got Barnsley 1-0 Watford. Steve M got Ipswich 1 Bolton 0. Rich L got Middlesbrough 0 Birmingham City 1.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Louise B for her Tesco bag inspired, Brighton 3 Palace 0.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.26 & Mark Seels quite rightly predicted his own ineptitude…next up is No.55. Hello John Street!

Table News:

“Reverence”:

Stephen Peaston stays top 1 point ahead of Stephen S as the Geordie Stephen mafia’s stranglehold on the Top 2 is loosened off. Paul Cam & James C are a further 3 points behind in third. Sam A crashes the Top Ten at nine.

“Far Gone & Out”:

Harry Birkner stays firmly rooted to the bottom now a mere ten points behind Nick H who in turn is a further point adrift of Savan A (oh, brother where art you…)

“Sometimes Always”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places are Felix Hines & Paul Henshaw – honourable mentions go to Julian F (+15), Rich L (+15) & Francesca F (+15).

“Half Way To Crazy”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places is Michelle Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Gareth M (-17), Dan P (-19) and Scott H (-19).

Hola!

**** REALLY IMPORTANT BIT ****

We have a new scoresheet. Slightly new, but new all the same – please ensure you put your FULL NAME in the row at the bottom as these are the fisrt steps to full automation & online submissions. I thank you…

No reminders until Thursday night folks – I’ll be awash in German beer til then!

“Another Sunny Day”:

Is it irony that a Man Yoo fan benefits from a massive City win? No coincidence then that 9 points should win you the £20 weekly prize! Step up James Challinor 37 (6) – no doubt the “syndicate” will come calling soon…

“She’s Losing It”:

It looks like the initial success of the Huddersfield hothousing in PAS techniques has come to a shuddering halt – Kate Hopper 5 (0) will have to go back to basics after this shocker!

Correct Score of the Week:

You were lovin those zero-zeros this week… most popular score was Villa’s McDermott ruining 1-2 win at Madejski – 18 of you got that!

6 got the 2-2 at Selhurst Park and 13 got the 3-1 between Nottm Forest & Wolves.

Seven got the stalemate between Crawley & Notts County and four more got another 0-0 at Pittodrie. Eight more got St Mirren 0 Dundee Utd 0 and 9 (NINE) got City’s mauling of Barnsley.Five got Liverpool 3 Spurs 2…

Jason M, Louise B, Sam A got Ipswich’s 0 -0 with Peterboro, Alex R & Michelle F got Blackpool’s 1-2 win over The Hornets and Anders H/Jack B/John S got the 0-0 Edinburgh derby. Jamie T/Chris B/Neil T got Millwall 0 Blackburn 0.

Neil T (again!) got Norwich 0 Southampton 0.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Nicklin for his Fylde coast inspired, Fleetwood 0 Exeter 0.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.12 & Dan Pelgrom was left rueing Stephen Gerrard’s penalty denying his draw treble… …next up is No.26. Hello Mark Seels!

Table News:

“I’m Not Living in the Real World”:

Stephen Peaston goes top 5 points ahead of Stephen S as the Geordie Stephen mafia keep a stranglehold on the Top 2. Neil O is a further 5 points behind in third. James C crashes the Top Ten at seven.

And Another Thing:

Dave C, Rob C and myself are off to witness the “Munchen Miracle” today. No doubt we’ll be discussing that “gap” in the bierkeller’s – hehehe…

Cheers,
Pab

“On Fire”:

There’ll be a Universal party this week as PAS debutant Greg Snowdon 40 (5) shrugs off his abject start & plunders his first weekly £20 prize win courtesy of a fine Hibee away Cup win. Slainte!

“If I Ever Feel Better”:

One of the worst footballing weeks ever from my perspective. Arsene continued in his crusade to turn us into Nu-Tottenham as they bale upward and we aspire to finish at least 6th from now on. Then I conspire to register my worst PAS ever, 7 (0). Bieber may have been two hours late this week, but I didn’t even turn up – Ladies & gentlemen, I hate football…

Correct Score of the Week:

I’m sayin’ nish, thank the Lord i gave up betting for Lent… most popular score was Motherwell’s heartbreaker 1-2 win at Tynecastle – 15 of you got that!

10 got the 3-1 at Goodison and 9 (NINE) got the 4-0 between Man U & Norwich.

Dan P/John S/Julian F got Ipswich’s 1 -0 win over Leicester City, Steve M & Greg S got Blackpool’s 0-0 with The Robins and Louise B & Neil T got Brighton’s 4-1 against Huddersfield.

Dumas H got Stoke City 0 West Ham 1 & Craig B got Sunderland’s 2-2 v Fulham

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season, goes to Greg Snowdon for his Alba inspired, Kilmarnock 2 Hibs 4.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.67 & Rob Currin was left rueing Charlie Adam’s howitzer crashing off the crossbar denying his draw treble… …next up is No.12. Hello Dan Pelgrom!

Table News:

“Second To None”:

Stephen Street stays top 4 points ahead of Stephen P as the Geordie Stephen mafia take hold. Paul Cam is a further 4 points behind in third as he crashes the Top Ten…

“Victim Of The Crime”:

Harry Birkner stays anchored to the bottom now ten points behind Vim G who in turn is a further point adrift of Matt W…

“Consolation Prizes”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 35 places is Ben Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Dumas H (+22), Steve M (+22), Louise B (+24), Simon Lindq (+22), Greg S (+32) & Ben McK (+24).

And Another Thing:

All you lovely Sp*rs people that sent me “mind the gap” images, wasn’t it this time last year 7 points was the difference? Lightning to strike twice?! The 5-2 & 2-1 did…

Cheers,
Pab

“Rich”:

“Holt! Who goes there?!” Why it’s our favourite Canary Ben Hogwood 38(6) conjuring a classical score to win this week’s £20 just ahead of the Celtic soul brother Ciaran McG… well done Ben, is that enough to get you a starter at Delia’s table?

“No No No”:

A double disaster for Dave Nicklin & Norman Lee 13(0) – harsh when you consider they both got only 2 less results right than this week’s winner! Fine margins gentlemen, fine margins…

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse… most popular score was Cardiff City’s Swansea defying 1-2 win at Wolves – 21 of you got that!

10 got the 0-0 at the John Smith’s Stadium and 11 (ELEVEN) got the 5-0 between Celtic & Dundee. Nine more got Dundee Utd 2 Hibs 2…

Rob C & Paul Car got Norwich’s 2 -1 win over Everton and Olly O & Dave C got Ross Co.’s 3-0 win over The Dossers. Louise B got Blackpool’s stalemate with Leicester.

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season, goes to Ciaran McGoldrick for his magpie inspired, Notts County 4 Bury 1.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.47 & Mark J Brown didn’t send a scoresheet let alone any selections! £3 to BotW slot 67 then…next up is No.64. Hello Rob Currin!

Table News:

“Phenomena”:

Stephen Street moves up 5 places to go 1 point ahead of Paul Car who in turn is 3 points ahead of Stephen P in third. Daniel H crashes the Top Ten in 7th.

“Zero”:

Harry Birkner stays rooted to the bottom of the pile still eleven points behind Greg S who in turn, is still a further point adrift of Vim G.

“Bang”:

All the money is in – yay! Lots of PASers love Flowered Up – yay! We’ve nearly cracked the code to get PAS “online” – yay!

Cheers,
Pab

“Mr Happy Reveller”:

Amazingly Portsmouth didn’t lose this week so Julian Fernandez 37 (7) had a double reason to celebrate this weekend – question is, will he send his £20 to the “fund”? Or reimburse Carlisle’s coach driver?

“Hysterically Blue”:

A bit like Arsenal, Harry Birkner 11 (0) saw his season take another painful dip. His by registering his second worst-score-of-the-week so far, Arsenal’s by letting Arsene take centre stage at a press conference…

Correct Score of the Week:

It’s getting ridiculous… most popular score was Brentford’s 4-0 capitulation to Chelsea – 24 of you got that!

5 got the 0-0 at Pride Park 5.

Gary B/Felix H/Ben McK got Man City’s 4 -0 win over Leeds & Howard T & Ian P got Luton’s 0-3 with The Lions.

Simon B & Julian F got Barnsley’s tonking of M K Dons.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Craig Burkert for his Alba inspired, Motherwell 3 Inverness CT 0.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.31 & Clare Templeton crashed & burned on all “both teams selections… next up is No.47. Hello Mark J Brown!

Table News:

“It’s On”:

Paul Carter moves up 3 places to go 2 points ahead of Matt G who in turn is 1 point ahead of Frankie F in third (go girl!)

“Phobia”:

Ooops! Harry Birkner remains bottom of the pile now 11 points behind Greg S who is a further 1 point adrift of Vim G.

“Better Life”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 49 places is Julian Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Stephen P (+42), Mark S (+30) and Ian P (+30)

“Egg Rush”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 35 places is Stuart Fitzsimon – dishonourable mentions go to Ciaran McG (-30), Mark J B (-30) and Olly O (-31)
