Thanks again for taking part – I hope you’ll join us for Euro 12 in June and “Winter 12” in September…

All prize winners – money will be winging its way over very soon – congrats!

“Rwoy”:

You have to say hats off to someone who amassed a third of their overall total points in the last three weeks of the season to become our youngest champion ever (and likely to be forever!) Young man, you’re timing is impeccable and I doubt you’ll need any pocket money for a while… Congrats, you’re a winner – Josh Hirst 315 (48). Take a boo son!

Josh had a 2 point lead over Nick Hogwood in second place, our Week 2 winner who just ran out of steam when it mattered – your timing was very much “peccable”…the “expansive scores” ambassador Savan Arora finishes just 1 point behind in third place and 2 points above El Presidente in fourth spot (I had that first title in my sight and I blew it…if Southampton had managed another goal I was in! Like my bruvver told me, never trust a Scummer…)

Gareth Morgan adds to his PAS Cup riches by finishing 5th one point ahead of Stuart Longworth who had a fine season & Top Ten finish, in 6th.

Champions League finalist Jamie Tofeili ended up in seventh place (topping a Blue Moon week!) 1 correct score above Simon Lindsay (good luck in the new job mate!) in eighth, who in turn finishes 1 point above Olly Osmond in ninth (and he’ll be celebrating finishing above Neil T again!).

Dan Pelgrom finishes in 10th place (currently cursing Exeter City!) and nets the last of the “big prizes”

“’Arry”:

You have to say he had a right good go at it but Reda Allam takes the wooden spoon this season after a gallant tussle with Vim G to avoid the humiliation of last place! Let’s hope Rich L doesn’t rub it in at work too much mate!

Spot Prizers:

OK, you have finished on these positions and you HAVE won those prizes!

Neil T on 11th, Matt G on 12th, Jamie S on 17th, Stephen S on 23rd, Martin S & Clare T on 30th,Francesca F on 33rd, Sean P on 34th, Ben H on 41st, Charlie H on 48th, Neil B & Tony S on 52nd, Ellen F on 59th, Neil O on 66th, Dave N on 67th, and Matt W on 68th.

Champions League 2012/13:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS CL 2012/13 you had to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Sneaking the last spot… Danny Ashworth!

If you’ve finished in the Top 32 you HAVE qualified for the PAS Champions League – if you so wish! You can say “no thanks” if you want but why would you do that eh?!

It will cost you £25 (“Winter 12” & CL Group stages) but remember you are guaranteed entry to PAS Lucky 13 Spring 13 (if you qualify for the CL knockout stages or not!) and at the reduced rate £20 – bargain!

Plus, seeing as you’re *that good* at PAS, you’ll probably be in the PAS Cup anyway fighting on three fronts for glory & cash and who knows, maybe a historic treble!

PAS Euro 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Euro 2012 you had to finish in the Top 16 after 13 weeks of play. Sneaking the last spot… Simon Buxton!

If you’ve finished in the Top 16, you HAVE qualified for PAS Euro 12 – if you so wish! You can say “no thanks” if you want but why would you do that eh?!

It will cost £10 (for the whole tournament) AND you will be “drawn” a team that will earn you 1pt for each goal they score in the tournament.

If you finished outside the Top 16, you can still play (come on!), but it’ll cost you £15 and you obviously won’t be allocated a team to earn you extra points… there’s £100 in the pot already so well worth getting involved either way eh?!

And Another Thing:

The other little bits…

Josh Hirst picked up an additional £10 for getting the Best Weekly Score of the Season – 45(9)

Martin Stafford picked up £9 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – Inverness CT 2 Hibs 3.

Neil Templeton and Gareth Morgan are currently playing out the PAS Cup Final (latest score 29 – 22) and Clare Templeton and Jamie Tofeili will contest the inaugural PAS CL Final – don’t worry, you will be kept up-to-date on the final scores!

Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to enter – and a final big thank you to Dave N for providing all the behind the scenes techky stuff to enable another great season…

For definite, we’ll see the Top 16 (for PAS Euro 12) in June & Top 32 (for PAS CL) in September – you can join in too remember! Spread the word and get all your mates involved for next season or why not get them in for Euro 12?

Cheers,
Pab

Good Kompany:

There’s something afoot – three out of the last four “Week 13’s” an Arora brother has come up trumps. In “Spring 11”, Big Sam emulated his brother’s final week winning feat of “Winter 10” and now it’s come back round again! Yep, Savan Arora 32 (4) has a 4-0 to thank for nudging Alex R down to runner up to snatch the final £20 of the season…

This How It Feels To Be Smalling:

Not the best week to get a lo-score (just ask me!) and unfortunately Nick Hogwood 12 (1) did just that…

Correct Score of the Week:

Not a bumper week for many… Sam A & Stuart L got the 0-0 at Oakwell, 8 got Millwall’s 2-2 v the Tangerine Dream and Rob C/Isaac A/Gareth M got the 2-2 at Tannadice. 9 got Southampton 4 Coventry City 0, 7 got the 2-2 between The Shots & The Millers and Craig B & Rowan M got the 2-2 for Sunderland-Bolton. Rich H & Stuart L (again!) got WBA 0 Villa 0 and Paul H & Craig B (again!) got Celtic 3 Rangers 0.

Best correct score of the week? Not got one! It may even be a first as we did not have one single unique correct score – wow!

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

The Final between Clare Templeton & Jamie Tofeili will take place on w/e May 13/14/15/19

PAS Cup 2011/12:

The Final between Neil Templeton & Gareth Morgan will take place on over May 5/6/7/8/9/19

And Another Thing:

Full final table news and round up to follow – did you win some glory & money??!

Cheers,
Pab

Hola,
Too depressed to even look at Week 13 at the moment as I did “United” and choked when it was all there to win…

Expect full results & final table by the end of the week.

Scoresheet now available for the PAS Cup Final 2012 (so you can see what you’re missing!) between Neil T & Gareth M.

Bon chance chaps – and don’t forget to play your joker!

Cheers,
Pab

Hola!
Last week then and all to play for still! Will Nick H hold on? Will Josh H storm to a stunning victory? Will I win my first league title in 21 years of trying??!

How apt we end the season with a classic Manc derby – scoresheets back by 12.29 on Saturday please!

“Full of wonder and surprise”:

In his own words he had his “worst week ever” last week but this week, not only has he topped the points tsunami that is Josh H (86 points in two weeks!!!), he’s also gone and won the second last £20 weekly prize! Olly Osmond 42 (8) is running round like a crazy horse…

“And just now I realize”:

A good few debutants get a reality check after the initial “beginners luck” phase – this week it’s the turn of Jack Buxton 7(0) and it’s all but ended his title challenge too – bah!

Correct Score of the Week:

Another spartan week… – most popular score was Bristol City 2 Barnsley 0 – 21 of you got that!

7 got the 0-0 at Villa Park (phew!), 6 got Newcastle Utd’s 3-0 v Stoke and 8 got Peterboro’s 2-2 against Watford. 5 got the 2-1 in Teesside.

Will O / Clare T got the 0-3 between The ‘Well and the Bhoys, Craig B got the 5 pointer at Hearts & Sam A got Liverpool 0 WBA 1.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Jamie Tofeili for his inspired QPR 1 Sp*rs 0.

Bet of the Week:

Another blank week leaves spot prize spot 48th blank too…

Table News:

“Now I believe that dreams come true”:

Nick Hogwood stays top now only 5 points clear of the rampant Josh H who in turn is 2 points ahead of your Host in third as the scrap for prize places is going to be the most exciting for many a season…

“This just can’t be coincidence”:

Reda Allam stays bottom of the pile a seemingly unassailable eighteen points behind Vim G who in turn is five points behind Dave N…

“And my sadness disappears”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 31 places is Olly Osmond – honourable mentions go to Simon Linds (+10), Tony M (+10), Clare T (+10) and Paul V (+13).

“Clouds just disappear”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 12 places is Mark Seels – dishonourable mentions go to Jack B (-8), Scott H (-9), Louise B (-11) and Jason M (-9).

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Congrats to our two finalists who both went through quite comprehensively – full results attached. Losers – the money is on the way…

PAS Cup 2011/12:

The Final between Neil Templeton & Gareth Morgan will take place on w/e May 4/5/6

PAS Euro 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Euro 2012 (and pay a reduced entry fee of £10 for the whole tournament!) you will have to finish in the Top 16 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… Toon! Toon!, Jon Tofeili.

PAS Champions League 2012/13:

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 heiress, Francesca Fernandez.

And Another Thing:

Euro 12 qualification – a clarification!

If you finish in the Top 16 come end of play on Week 13, you will invited to play PAS Euro 12 for a mere £10 AND you will be “drawn” a team that will earn you 1pt for each goal they score in the tournament. If you finish outside the Top 16, you can still play, but it’ll cost you £15 and you obviously won’t be allocated a team to earn you extra points… there’s £100 in the pot already so well worth getting involved either way eh?!

Cheers,
Pab

“You’re making history”:

Well what a week that was! Some absolutely shocking scores and it looked like the lowest ever weekly winning total would be posted! But that’s the beauty of PAS – it can always throw up an anomaly to go against the grain…

You can be an authority on current form, league places, historical trends, stats, logic etc. and still fail to get a single correct score. Or you can be a little kid and get your grandparent do your scores (despite them having to bluff their way through trying to make sense of league tables!), or you can do your scores in “57 seconds”, or select scorelines on a whim without knowing what division certain teams are actually in or leave it to Mr 2-0 to gain you points…

Or, you could be about 10 years old, pay attention to detail and carefully plan each entry securing at least £30 a season along the way. Yep, wunderkid Josh Hirst 45 (9) really put his peers to shame by racking up the best total of the season (so far) and walking off with the £20 prize – “take a boo” young man!

“I felt the world stop turning”:

Feeling bad about a kid smashing you all over the place this week? How would you feel if if it was your son?! Why not ask Richard Hirst 5(0) who managed to make a bad week even erm, badder. One of the lowest scores ever recorded (I’m with the school of thought it’s harder to get 5 or under than 50+ in PAS!), vitriol & derision from his “syndicate” pals (Tricky is the first into the “High, err mean Low Five Club” Hall of Fame) and big rumours he asked Hirst Jnr to coach from the side for his imminent CL semi final 2nd leg…

Correct Score of the Week:

If you’re here, I salute you… – most popular score was C Palace 1 Ipswich 1 – 15 of us got that!

6 got the 4-0 at OT (phew!), Sean P / Stuart L / Tony S got Torquay Utd’s 0-0 v Southend and Josh H / Stuart L (again!) / Michelle F got Forest’s 0-0 against Blackpool. Stephen S / Jamie S / Tony M got the 3-1 in Sheffield.

Steve T got the 1-3 between the Saints and the Royals, Frankie F got the 5 pointer at Birmingham & Josh H (again!) got the bore draw Brentford v Notts Co.

Matt G got Tim 1 Jambos 2 and Josh H (again! again!) got Hartlepool 1 Chesterfield 2. However, this week’s best correct score and nearly new best correct score of the season for the second week running(!) goes to Rob Currin for his inspired Leeds 4 Peterboro 1.

Bet of the Week:

My hatred of Brighton is well documented and it’s just been ratcheted up several notches as they denied Clare T a clean sweep on the BotW. Six goals and they couldn’t even get one of them!!! Seaweed sc*m! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Table News:

“You catch me up I’ll take it slow”:

Nick Hogwood stays top now 10 points clear of Jack B who in turn is 1 correct score ahead of Jamie T in third as the scrap for prize places shapes up to be the most exciting for many a season… Matt G & Gareth M crash the Top Ten.

“Don’t leave me behind”:

Reda Allam stays bottom of the pile still only(?) fourteen points behind Vim G who in turn is five points behind Howard T…

“Forward’s the only way to go”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 32 places is Josh Hirst – honourable mentions go to Francesca F (+10), Stephen S (+11) and Tony S (+14).

“Stop in your tracks (where could I go?)”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 15 places is Mark J Brown – dishonourable mentions go to Louise B (-10), Olly O (-11) and Richard H (-5).

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Semi Final 2nd leg this week- all to play for in both ties! “Homers” – don’t forget your joker!

PAS Cup 2011/12:

Congrats to our two finalists who both went through quite comprehensively – full results attached. Losers – the money is on the way…

PAS Euro 2012:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Euro 2012 (and pay a reduced entry fee of £10 for the whole tournament!) you will have to finish in the Top 16 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… Cheshire’s Forrest Gump, Rowan Marriott.

PAS Champions League 2012/13:

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 Treasurer, Mark Seels.

And Another Thing:

Euro 12 qualification – a clarification!

If you finish in the Top 16 come end of play on Week 13, you will invited to play PAS Euro 12 for a mere £10 AND you will be “drawn” a team that will earn you 1pt for each goal they score in the tournament. If you finish outside the Top 16, you can still play, but it’ll cost you £15 and you obviously won’t be allocated a team to earn you extra points… there’s £100 in the pot already so well worth getting involved either way eh?!
