Hola!

Week 5 scoresheets back by 19.44 on Friday – please note that reminders may well be limited as I’ll be NYC regaling the merits of PAS to Bob Stanley whilst playing some records to native New Yorkers…

Still a few outstanding payments due – please get the money in by the end of the week or I’ll be cutting you loose.

Looks like we’ve lost Matt G (anyone know his whereabouts?!) so Dave T may be getting a bonus wildcard entry into PAS CL…

“To prove I’m right”:

Oooh it was a right ol’ ding-dong for top spot this week with the top eight separated by just 3 points! And, we couldn’t split the top two! Ryan Graves & Paul Campbell 35 (6) just nicked in front of Tony B, Anders H & Paul V making it an old skool/nu skool double earning them £10 each. Well done chaps, been a long time since Man Yoo & Liverpool have been joint top…

“Don’t cry”:

It’s dark days being a Arsenal fan at the moment (well, this week) what with The Ox pulling up sharp and the imminent meeting with the still prolific RVP… even darker then for, my-Norwich-mate-got-me-playing-PAS, Stuart Fitzsimon 8(0)…

Correct Score of the Week:

Blimey, very spartan this week – most popular score was Sunderland 1 Newcastle Utd 1 – 29 of you got that! Howay!

The now gutted Steve P & Steve T got Chelski’s 2-4 v Sp*rs and Rowan M, Andy C, Nick H somehow guessed Bolton’s 3-2 against Bristol City. Craig B & Paul V got the 2-2 between Palace and The Scum…

And that was it basically.

Oh, this week’s best correct score goes to Vim Gupta for his inspired Ross County 3 Hibs 2.

Bet of the Week:

The curse is back on as Rob C got it all horribly horribly wrong…

Table News:

“The happy ones are near”:

Paul Vinson goes top and opens up a six point lead ahead of Dave C who in turn is one point ahead of Steve M (I know who he supports now!) in third. Tony B is the big splash into the Top Ten…

“It’s only teenage wasteland”:

Mr 2-0 slides to the bottom with Clare T & Matt G – I really couldn’t be happier…

“The exodus is here”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 34 places is Ryan Graves – honourable mentions go to Steve T (+20), Harry B (+26) and Ian P (+24).

“Out here in the fields”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 22 places is Louise Briggs – dishonourable mentions go to Jamie T (-16), Felix H (-16) and Gary M (-15)

PAS Cup 2013:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2013, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… the Good Doctor – Savan Arora.

PAS Champions League 2012/13:

Matchday 2 results & tables attached…how does Clare T do it???!

And Another Thing:

Belated congrats to two PAS folk for two pieces of endurance that beggar belief… Rowan M ran 100k in 11hrs 50 over Norfolk beach, shingle & woodland paths and Chris B cycled 45 miles from Ally Pally to Windsor in about 4 hours. Whilst hungover…

Still not paid yet?! If your money isn’t in the bank by the time I get back from NYC, then you, sunshine, will be jogging on…

Cheers,
Pab

“Eating all the morsels”:

This doing-your-scores-in-double-quick-time-and-not-paying-attention-to-them malarkey is really catching on… Rob Currin 47 (6) did his scores, filed them away, moved house, played footy and then watched with glee as Poland secured a 1-1 draw to help him inch past Kate H to win this week’s £20 – well done Roberto, I’ll be keeping that “apple” for the Schalke ticket yeah?!

“Picking up the rubbish”:

A bit like his team, Reda Allam 17(0) swings from the sometimes sublime to the mainly ridiculous. This week, like “Being Liverpool”, it’s ridiculous…

Correct Score of the Week:

You lot make me sick… most popular score was Bulgaria’s 1-1 draw with Denmark – 34 of us got that!

4 got the 1-3 in Armenia, 21 got La Furia Roja’s 0-4 v Belarus and 21 got Engerlands, um, efficient 5-0 v San Marino. Six got the 0-0 between Kazakhstan & Austria(!) and 5 got Holland’s 3-0 win over Andorra. Ten got Bosnia’s 3-0 in Sarajevo, 5 got Czech 0 Bulgaria 0 and 7 got Italy 3-1 Denmark. Seven got the Les Bleus 1-1 v Spain. Dave N/Julian F/Andy C got Czech 3 Malta 1, Stuart L & Paul C got (sob) Russia 1 Portugal 0, Simon Lindq & Steve T got Austria 4 Kazakhstan 0, Harry B & Danny A got Faroe Islands 1 Eire 4 and Rob C & Michelle F got Romania 1 Holland 4 – remarkable… Neil O got Hungary 3 Turkey 1.

However, this week’s best correct score (and how we dislike rascists eh?!), goes to Alex Rossi for his PC correct (oh, the irony…), Macedonia 1 Serbia 0.

Bet of the Week:

Some things DO change! Yep, you guessed it, the curse of the weekly winner failing to win us some money has ended!. Paul V’s away four-timer of Italy/Germany/Sweden/Spain @ 2/1 came in earning him an extra £1 and more importantly, BotW spot prize slot 33rd now has £2 banked!

Table News:

“You’re looking so healthy“:

Dave Crisp stays top for a second week (he’s looking good this boy!) and goes 2 points ahead of Paul V who in turn is 3 points ahead of new boy Steve M in third (still don’t know what team he follows…)

“She needs a little sparkle“:

John Street plummets to the bottom of the pile 2 correct scoers behind Mr 2-0 and his disciples.

“They’re glowing in a huddle“:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 54 places is Kate Hopper – honourable mentions go to Danny A (+26), Savan A (+27), Alex R (+49), Paul C (+32), Sam A (+25), Harry B (+30) and Mark J B (+23)

“Don’t want to be alone“:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 35 places is Jay Hoskinson – dishonourable mentions go to Jason M (-31), Neil B (-28), Dave T (-30), Matt W (-33), Jamie S (-23), Gary B (-28) and Jazz S (-22).

PAS Cup 2013:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2013, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… The Tricky Tree – Richard Hirst.

Congratulations to bruv-in-law Danny A & Louise B on the birth of baby boy Owen. Wonder when those late nights & early mornings will start affecting their scores?!

Cheers,
Pab

“Ride swift through the houses like blood rides through me”:

You’d think scoring 38 points would secure a weekly win wouldn’t you? But no, Jamie T, it doesn’t. So, then you’d think getting 41 points would win you £20 yeah? Well no, actually, Dave C & Steve M (who do you support btw?!). It’s about being even better than that! Paul Vinson 50 (8) pulled out a fine tally and maintains his perennial record of early weekly wins. Well done Paul, it’ll take some beating…

“Red wine and whiskey are no good for me”:

Oh dear! The 30 second flash scoring method will need a rethink as Michelle Fernandez 11 (0) brings shame to our faaaamlee name. If she was Scouse, the armbands would be out next week…

Correct Score of the Week:

Another round of fine predicting… ahem, but not over here – most popular score was Cardiff’s win at the Tractor Boys – 22 of you got that!

5 got the 3-1 at The Caledonian Stadium, 12 got Man City’s 3-0 v Sunderland and 11(!!!) got Chelsea’s 3-1 against Norwich. 7 of you got the 2-2 between Swansea & Reading, 4 got Derby 0 Brighton 0. Paul V & Martin S got Wigan Athletic 2 Everton 2 and Louise B / Jamie S / Jamie T got Morecambe 0 Burton Albion 0.

Thirteen got Hibees 3 Dundee 0, 19 got that delightful 1-3 at the Boleyn and 14 got Saints 2 Cottagers 2. Oh, and another 4(!) got Liverpool 0 Stoke 0.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Anders Hoglund for his inspired Kilmarnock 1 Aberdeen 3. (Well, they are the nearest team to him…)

Bet of the Week:

Some things never change and yep, you guessed it, the curse of the weekly winner failing to win us some money strikes again! Gary B crashed and burned on his away day bonanza… can Paul V do any better??!

Table News:

“Your tanned hide exerting, the sum of your parts”:

Dave Crisp moves up 8 places to go 5 points ahead of debutant Steve M who in turn is 2 points ahead of Olly O in third.

“…your soul is impounded beneath”:

Ooops! Ryan Brady goes down 2 places to the bottom of the pile two points behind Jez H.

“Abort the nonchalance”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 76(!) places is Paul Vinson – honourable mentions go to Louise B (+35), Dave T (+36), Jason M (+52), Jay H (+44) and Gareth M (+36)

“Weeping on concrete…”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 48 places is Michelle Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Kate H (-35), Jack B (-30), Norman L (-36), Rich L (-34) and Ben H (-34)

PAS Cup 2013:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2011 (and pay a reduced entry fee!) you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!, Tony Smith.

And Another Thing:

Not paid yet?! Get your payment across as soon as please! The list of shame will be published next week…

We’re off and running (and I wish I hadn’t bothered…)

Champions League people, we start this week – please see below for any details you may have forgotten!

Bumper field this season, let’s not lose anyone!

“Take me away from this big bad world”:

I was with him on Saturday at the Reebok and he called a Palace win AND Glen Murray to score first. He also reminisced about “winning one weekly prize in twenty odd years of PAS”. Well, he just won another – Gary Blackburne 34(4) somehow fluked his way to the first weekly prize in a week of off-key scorelines. That’s the beauty of PAS folks, even championship following fools can win! #hewon’tshutupnow

“And I’m braindead virtually”:

How I managed to avoid this unwanted accolade I’ll never know – it had to go to someone though and that someone was the good doctor Savan Arora 8(0)! #ouch!

Correct Score of the Week:

Not many correct scores knocking about but 25 got Villa 1 WBA 1 making it the most popular correct score this week – 18 got the 3-1 at Goodison and 4 got the 2-2 between Reading & Newcastle. Four got Bristol City 2 Leeds Utd 3 (how?!)

Olly O got Burnley 2 Millwall 2 & Hearts 1 Kilmarnock 3 (show off!), Neil B got Cardiff’s 3-0 win over The Tangerines and Neil O got Dundee 1 St Johnstone 3.

However, this week’s best correct score and therefore best correct of the season so far, goes to Reda Allam for his inspired Huddersfield Town 2 Watford 3.

Bet of the Week:

We had varying degrees of success with this last season (well, none actually..) and we did try and make it a bit easier to get some money into the spot prize coffers… So, to recap, if you win a week, you can try the popular “Goal Rush” method (pick 3, 4 & 5 matches where both teams will hit the net) or stick to the traditional 5 homes, 4 aways & 3 draws – you decide! Remember you’re trying to add to your £20 winnings and put some money into an allotted spot prize position for those less fortunate than yourself!

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! You’re on a roll Gee, give us a winner fella!

Table News:

Week 1 table to follow once I’ve worked out if anyone is likely to drop out!

PAS Champions League 2012/13:
