L13 Spring 2012 : Week 10 Roundup

“Laying in the afterglow”:
The Templetons had a corker of a week – Ulster beat Munster, Arsenal beat Citeh along with, for one, a Top Ten placing and dreams of a PAS Cup final. Clare Templeton 36(6) arguably had an even better week – picking up £20 by pipping Martin S by one correct score and taking a healthy lead into her PAS CL semi final 2nd leg… nice!
“In this world all that I choose has come unbearable”:
A bad week for the old skool! Howard Thomas & Jazz Sian 13(0) trail in last as the season enters into last few weeks…
Correct Score of the Week:
It’s ramping up now… – most popular score was Reading 2 Leeds 0 – 26 of you got that!
9 got the 1-1 at Anfield, 11 got Birmingham City’s 3-1 v Palace and 10 got Rangers’ 3-1 against St Mirren. 4 got the 2 each in Coventry and 5 got stalemate involving Derby & Ipswich.
Norman L / Scott H / Neil T got the 2-2 between the Canaries and the Toffees, Sam A / Pab / Will O got the 8 pointer at Leicester & Sean P / Julian F / Neil T (again!) got bore draw St Johnstone v Inverness
Matt W & Michelle F got Scummers 2 Pompey 2, Sam A (again!) Aberdeen 3 Dundee Utd 1 and Michelle F (again!) got Bristol City’s 0-1 at Forest.
However, this week’s best correct score and nearly new best correct score of the season goes to Rob Currin for his very, very satisfying Arsenal 1 Man City 0.
Bet of the Week:
A double bubble double failure – back to the drawing board for next season me thinks…

Table News:

“I only want to make these things last”:
Nick Hogwood stays top but pegged back to 9 points clear of Jack B who in turn is 5 points ahead of El Presidente in third as the Top 3 shuffles the pack… Jon T, Neil T & Tony B crash the Top Ten.
“Fool enough too long”:
Reda Allam stays bottom of the pile now only(?) fourteen points behind Howard T who in turn is one point behind Vim G…
“So leave it all behind”:
Highest climbers this week, up a whopping 22 places is Sam Arora – honourable mentions go to Mark J B (+17), Martin S (+18), Dave T (+14), Frankie F (+15), and Clare T (+19).
“How many times must I learn”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 14 places is Josh Hirst – dishonourable mentions go to Gareth M (-9), Simon B (-9), Jazz S (-13), Pete B (-12) and Tony M (-10).
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Semi Final 1st leg results attached – a magnificent joker and even better weekly score are order of the day!
PAS Cup 2011/12:
Semi Finals next week – as it’s neutral ground territory, all four get to play a joker!
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… our resident hack, Gareth Morgan.
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… a Wembley final bound, Sean Peers.
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

L13 Spring 2012 : Week 9 Roundup

“Don’t be afraid to show your friends”:
Very very tight run thing with at least 5 punters all vying for the weekly prize and in the end we had a shared win! Dan Pelgrom & Sean Peers 37(7) just nipped in thanks to Man Yoo – £10 each boys!
“That you hurt inside”:
In a week where most did ok, Tony Smith 9(0) didn’t…
Correct Score of the Week:
They’re getting few and far between… – most popular score was Everton 2 WBA 0 – 35 of you got that!
5 got the 1-3 at the Keepmoat, 11 got Dundee Utd’s 3-0 v Dunfermline and 16 got Tottenham’s 3-1 against Swansea. Jason M / Matt W / Pab got the 2-3 between the Old Gold and the Trotters.
Isaac A got Jam Tarts 3 Aberdeen 0.
However, this week’s best correct score and new best correct score of the season goes to Olly Osmond for his inspired Inverness 2 Hibs 3.
Bet of the Week:
One word. Failed…

Table News:

“I’m tired of being untouchable”:
Nick Hogwood stays top and goes a big 14 points clear of Jamie T who in turn is 5 points ahead of Savan A in third as the Top 3 stays as is…Jack B, Dan P & yours truly crash the Top Ten.

Reda Allam stays bottom of the pile now a surmountable seventeen points behind Mahli G who in turn is one point behind Michelle F (oh, the shame…).

L13 Spring 2012 : Week 7 Update

Hola!
Tuff place Everton…

Luckily the admin error concerning Reading’s missing goal didn’t affect anything major like the weekly winner or PAS Cup results (phew!) but it did affect the scores of Dave N, Rich L, Andy C & Dan P (who is either the most honest of this bunch or the only one who reads the updates!).

Amended table has now been posted.

The person responsible for collating results was told to never attempt this task whilst playing Gruffalo vs Rapunzel and practising phonics with a 3 year old…

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2012 : Week 7 Stewards Enquiry!

Thanks to all who have flagged this up – Reading won 0-4 and not 0-3 as listed in the round up.

All full investigation will take place (not tonight – I’m at Everton) and amendments will be made if individual scores are affected…

It’s not over til the… ’n all that!

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2012 : Week 8 Roundup

“The chemistry”:
I’m thinking that post final whistle picture of Ally McCoist apoplectic with joy was pretty much mirroring our Week 8 winner in Sheffield! Shaun Backhouse 36(5) had the Rangers result to thank as he sneaked past Dan P to claim £20…
“You can’t see when light is gone”:
Banished, alone & sitting in the dark whilst all others basked in the sunshine is probably how Josh Hirst & Matt Worsfold 10(0) felt along with Mr Lennon…
Correct Score of the Week:
At a premium this week – most popular score was Southampton 2 Doncaster 0 – 21 of you got that!
11 got the 3-0 at Ashburton Grove, 4 got Sunderland’s 3-1 v QPR and 10 got Reading’s 3-1 against Blackpool. 7 got the 1-1 between the Potters and the Citizens.
Simon Lindq & Tony M got Burnley 2 West ‘Am 2 and Scott H & Paul C got Derby 3 Super Palace 2.
Shaun B & Reda A got the nine pointer at Ibrox (!).
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Savan Arora for his inspired WBA 1 Newcastle 3.
Bet of the Week:
Neil T thought he had all his eggs in one basket and that basket with all those eggs got smashed after one game – ho hum…

Table News:

“…is where you have to be”:
Nick Hogwood stays top and goes 9 points clear of Jamie T who in turn is 1 point ahead of Savan A in third as the Top 6 stays as is…Simon B & Scott H crash the Top Ten.
“Slip away and out of sight”:
Reda Allam stays bottom of the pile now a huge twenty three points behind Dave N who in turn is one point behind Vim G.
“Feel more lightness than you’ve ever known”:
Highest climbers this week, up a whopping 19 places are Dan Pelgrom & Shaun Backhouse – honourable mentions go to Scott H (+12), Tony S (+14) and Paul V (+14).
“Why’s this bus taking me back again”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 19 places is Julian Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Josh H (-16), Martin S (-14), Alex R (-16), Sean P (-16) and Anders H (-14)
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Quarter Final 2nd leg & aggregate scores attached – some very close ties! One joker well played & decisive, no joker played that may have proved fatal, a Cup semi finalist crashes out and a Cup quarter finalist marches on…
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… one of two lucky Magpies, 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 “SSuarez Is Innocent” campaigning, Alex Rossi.
And Another Thing:
Crouch 4 City? Hehehe…

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2012 : Week 8 BotW

Bet of the Week comes from the Belfast this week…

Going to go for both teams to score:

3 Teams
Chelsea v Spurs, Barnsley v Peterborough, Rangers v Celtic @ 3/1
4 Teams
Add Forest v Brighton @ 6/1
5 Teams
Add Burnley v West Ham @ 11/1

Slightly eggs and baskets if one of the first 6 teams fails to score, but I have confidence [in] the poor quality of defences.

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Spring 2012 : Week 7 Roundup

“First I’m gonna make it”:
He was cursing Schmeichel Jr on Twitter but he needn’t have worried! Neil Templeton 41(6) kept Nick H & Jon T at arm’s length to scuttle off with £20 – and all on St Paddy’s weekend to boot… slainte!
“And shaking while I’m breaking”:
Not the best week to have Weston, but Reda Allam 8 (0) has done just that and he’ll just have to live with it! Still, at least Leeds might bounce back from that last minute equaliser. What? Oh…
Correct Score of the Week:
Most had a good week… – most popular score was Hearts 2 Hibs 0 – 27 of you got that!
10(!) got the 2-1 at Tannadice, 4 got Reading’s 0-3 win v the Tykes and 7 got Palace’s 0-0 against Hull. 5 got the 3-2 between The Tractor Boys and The Posh.
11 got Pompey 0 Bristol City 0 and 4 more got Hartlepool’s stalemate with Stevenage.
Anders H / Neil M / Olly O got Blackpool 3 Brighton 1 and Jamie T / Jack B / Neil T got Watford 0 Coventry 0.
Simon B got St Mirren 0 St Johnstone 0.
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Nick Hogwood for his inspired Crawley 3 Port Vale 2.
Bet of the Week:
Whoo hoo! Another win thanks to the Good Doctor who snaffled a treble & just missed a 4 timer for spot prize slot 33rd where, ironically, his brother sits….

Table News:

“Bring on the new messiah”:
Nick Hogwood zooms to the summit 9 points clear of Jamie T who in turn is 10 points ahead of Savan A in third. Andy C & Jazz S crash the Top Ten…
“Headless and all alone”:
Reda Allam stays bottom of the pile now a massive twenty points behind Mahli G who in turn is three points behind his dad Vim G. Bless…
“Wherever they may roam”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places is Neil Templeton – honourable mentions go to Jon T (+17), Dan P (+17), Tony S (+21) and Julian F (+13).
“Sinking sand”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places is Gary Blackburne – dishonourable mentions go to Will O (-14), Anders H (-14) and Michelle F (-14).

And Another Thing:
“If any of his bets win I will eat my hat, any hat, the official PAB hat!” – Sam Arora upped the ante and is now left with a mouthful. Little did he know the official “Pab hat” is a sombrero…

Pab
