“Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win”:

If you’re an old skool PASer or named Ryan, so far so good this season! So, Ryan Graves 36(6) couldn’t really fail this week could he! His beloved Reds made sure he saw off the challenge of my little girl (courtesy of her nan) for the weekly £20 prize. Well done Ryan, I knew working back with Jazz would serve you well…

“Get It Together”:

Probably wishes he was on the plane with Andre Santos right now! Rob Currin 10(0) has a ’mare of “Brighton in the Cup” proportions…

Correct Score of the Week:

Applauso! Applauso!… most popular score was Inverness CT’s 1-3 loss to Celtic & Spurs 2 Newcastle 1 – 22 of you got them!

5 got the 2-2 at Vicarage Road and 9 got the 0-0 between Norwich City & Fulham. Nine more got Sheff Wed 2 Derby 2…

5 got another 2-2(!), the one at Molineux & four more got another nil-nil(!), the one between Aberdeen & St Mirren.

Rich L/Ben McK/Mark S got Chelsea’s 4-1 win over Chelsea & Stuart L got Huddersfield’s 0-0 with The Bluebirds. Mark F got Peterboro’s thumping of Leicester.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Francesca Fernandez for her Alba inspired, Dundee Utd 3 Hearts 1.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.71 & Steve Meaton crashed & burned on all fronts (as will Sp*rs)… next up is No.31. Hello Clare Templeton!

Table News:

“Finger Lickin’ Good”:

Ryan Graves moves up 24 places to go 1 point ahead of Jazz S who in turn is 1 correct score ahead of Ryan B in third.

“Hello Nasty”:

Ooops! Harry Birkner goes down 1 place to the bottom of the pile two points behind Simon Linds who is a further 2 points adrift of Rob C.

“Ch-Check it Out”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 51 places is Francesca Fernandez – honourable mentions go to Richard H (+41), Gareth M (+47), Dave C (+28), Will O (+32) and Dave T (+25)

“Slow & Low”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 51 places is Stephen Peaston – dishonourable mentions go to Craig B (-48), Nick H (-41), James C (-39), Gary B (-36) and Julian F (-35)

PAS Champions League 2012/13:

Last 16 1st leg results attached – all to play for – for everyone! Second leg ties take place on Week 4

PAS Cup 2013:

Round 2 on Week 3 – draw attached. Home “teams” don’t forget your “joker”!

PAS Champions League 2013/14:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Champions League 2012/13 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the secretive Scouser, Stuart Longworth.

And Another Thing:

Still quite a few outstanding payments – it’s “name & shame” week next week, so make sure you’re off that particular list!

Cheers,
Pab

2 games to go and Ryan G has a three point lead over Little Frankie F(!).

Still in with a shout, and only another point adrift, are Gareth M, Ryan B & Richard H…

Beware, a rejuvinated Jazz S is lurking in th wings though!

Cheers,
Pab

“Two Kinds Of Happiness”:

He may be getting his head baked off in record temperatures but it’s obviously not affecting his score predicting abilities. Paul Carter 36(5) is on his uppers Down Under winning the first cash prize of the season. Bonzer! #neighbours

“Hard To Explain”:

If you’re gonna fail you might as well fail in good company I suppose! Harry Birkner & Howard Thomas 9(0) pick up the first non-accolade of the season… #yowzers!

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite a few correct scores (especially a “Desmond”) knocking about… most popular score was Reading’s 2-1 win over Sunderland – 22 of you got that!

15 got the 0-3 at Stark’s Park and 10 got the 2-2 between Man City & Liverpool. Ten more got Wigan 2 Southampton 2…

6 got another 2-2(!), the one at London Road & six more got another two-two (!!), the one between Fleetwood & Bradford.

Dumas H (welcome!)/Mahli G/Felix H got Hartley & Poole’s 2 -1 win over Notts County & Ciaran Mc G (welcome back!)/Dave C/Stuart F got Ross County 2 Hearts 2. Daniel H & Steve T got Derby’s 3-0 win over The Terriers and Kate H & Matt G (welcome back!) got the only stalemate on offer at Loftus Road.

Paul C got Dundee Utd’s thumping of Rangers.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Stephen Peaston for his partisan inspired, Newcastle Utd 3 Chelsea 2.

Bet of the Week:

We had varying degrees of success 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.

We’ll stick to them but this time round Frankie will pick a random number before the table is compiled and the person on that number will get the responsibility.

Remember you’re trying to win some money for yourself and put some money into an allotted spot prize position for a nice surprise at the end of the season.

We’ve set aside £3 a week from the entry fees to pay for this so let’s make sure we win it all back and then some!

Frankie selected No.71 this week, so Steve Meaton, you’re up first fella!

Table News, please be aware we may lose some, but we may also gain a few!

PAS Champions League 2013/14:

You should all know how much you have to pay, but if don’t, email me & I’ll enlighten you (and berate you!)

Looks like we’re up to about 84ish taking part which is fab (if you’re gonna drop out, tell me NOW please!) and there’s still time to rope in some newbies to the fold…

Cheers,
Pab

PS

“Bet of the Week” will continue but we’ll have a different way of picking who get choose the bet selections this season. Week 2’s bet will be taken care of by the person who is 43rd in the table after Week 1 has concluded…

PPS

The Poll results will be with you before the big kick off – thanks to all who took time out to get involved – it’s best one EVER!

Hola!

Attached are the PAS Rules for your perusal and the “£20 Entry Fee” list – if your name appears on said list you pay £20 for the season and if it’s NOT, you pay £25!

Thanks to all those who have paid up already – I *heart* you and your organised ways!

If you DO NOT want to play this season, let me know ASAP but remember you’ll missing out on the chance to win money & qualify for PAS Champions League Group Stages 2013.

And that’s an opportunity not be missed I can tell ya…

If you want to introduce anyone new to the fold, send me their email address and I’ll add them to the list. Let’s see if we can get the number up to 100 – yeah!
