L13 Winter 2011 : Week 12 Roundup

“I’m very superficial…”:
Probably the second best week to win a weekly especially when it sets you up nicely for Week 13! Well done then to Jamie Sellers 41(8) who looks like he’s timed it just right for a storming end to the season… Just need QPR to do the same in 2012 now then Jamie!
“You’ve made a desperate appeal, now save your breath”:
…and here’s the real turn up! Shaun Backhouse 13(0) has been the long time leader but his stumble & fall at the second last may have not only scuppered his own glory, but also the “Syndicate”, who no doubt pin everything on their very own Nijinksy…
Correct Score of the Week:
I can’t wait for this horrible PAS season to be over… – most popular score was Hull 2 Millwall 0 – 29 of you got that!
4 got Bristol City’s 0-0 against Nottm Forest, Jamie T/Reda A/Jon T got the 2-1 between Doncaster and The Foxes, Martin S & Charlie H got Wigan 1 Chelsea 1.
Tony B got the 1-0 at White Hart Lane…
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Frankie Fernandez for her inspired Blackpool 0 Watford 0.

Table News:

“Attachment to obligation…”:
Jamie Sellers streaks to the top of the league with a lead of 2 points over Norman L, who in turn, is 15 points ahead of Paul V in third. Shaun B has a faint chance of glory in fourth. Paul C crashes the Top 10…
“J’en ai marre of your theatrics”:
Mark J Brown crashes to the bottom of the pile 1 point behind Michelle F, who in turn, is 4 points behind Mat J.
“…complications are not my fascinations”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 18 places is Martin Stafford – honourable mentions go to Stuart L (+10), Tony B (+8), Danny A (+15) and Josh H (+10).
“…you’re still clinging to somebody you deplore”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 11 places is Alex Rossi – dishonourable mentions go to Tony M (-8), Jazz S (-9), Simon B (-9) and Craig B (-7)
PAS Cup 2012:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… despondent Geordie – Dave Nicklin.
Bet of the Week:
No rape & pillage of the bookies I’m afraid – Anders H is obviously not Viking enough…
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Matchday 6 results and final tables attached – not sure if I’m a little bit proud of winning 0 matches!
And Another Thing:
Scousers in t-shirts – will they have to change the colour of their omnipresent armbands now??!

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Winter 2011 : Week 11 Roundup

“I’ll take some more”:
He’s probably in 58ft of snow as we speak and he’s had a blinder of a weekend what with Sp*rs & Man City losing! Anders Hoglund 34(6) just pipped Matt W by one correct score to collect this week’s £20. Congrats to the Viking Gooner, he’s got enough crowns now to buy, ooh, at least 2 pints at his local (and one of those amazing hot dogs!)! Skol!
“Will I still survive”: As my nosedive into the abyss known as PAS oblivion continues apace, I can take sweet solace in someone from (dirty) Leeds faring worse than me… for this week at least. Dave Tagger 8(0), I thank you!
Correct Score of the Week:
Surprisingly good predicting this week… – most popular score was Sunderland 2 Blackburn 1 – 24 of you got that!
Dan P/Craig B/Martin S got Southampton’s 2-2 against Blackpool, Tony S/Howard T/Steve T got the 4-1 between Man Utd and The Old Gold, Anders H & Gary B got Millwall 0 Cardiff City 0, 4 got Aberdeen 2-2 St Mirren, Rob C & Craig B (again!) got the 5 pointer 0-3 involving St Johnstone and Motherwell and 6 got the 2-1 between Chelsea & Man City.
Anders H (again!) got the 0-1 at Turf Moor & Dave C got the delightful 2-1 in the Potteries…
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matt Worsfold for his inspired Inverness CT 2 Dundee Utd 3.

Table News:

“precious few”:
Shaun Backhouse stays top of the league, but his lead has been cut to a really catchable 5 points by Norman L, who in turn, is 2 points ahead of Paul V in third. Jamie S has given himself a real chance of glory and heads the chasing pack only 11 points off the top. Steve T crashes the Top 10…
“Nothings last forever”:
Michelle Fernandez stays at the bottom of the pile now only 4 points behind Ben H, who in turn, is 4 correct scores behind Mark J B.
“When I turn the corner”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 17 places is Anders Hoglund – honourable mentions go to Matt W (+16), Mahli G (+11), Tony S (+10), Nick H (+11) and Martin S (+11).
“Maybe we should try”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 10 places is Dave Tagger – dishonourable mentions go to Simon B (-7), Jason M (-9), Andy C (-8), Louise B (-9) and Moi (-8)
PAS Cup 2012:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… comedy Cheshire cat – Neil Meredith.
Bet of the Week:
Olly O reverted to form meaning it’s only a fiver on spot prize position 33rd…
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Matchday 6 fixtures as follows – Norman Lee & Jamie Sellers (so far the only confirmed group winners) will be trying to complete a perfect qualification whilst Ben Hogwood, Will Oppong & myself will be praying to avoid a sixth consecutive group stage defeat and become the PAS Villareal…
All to play for in Groups B (wide open with all four in with a chance!), C (who will join Neil Meredith in the knockpout stages?),E (Tony Bowley or Jazz Sian or a wonder result from Mahli Gupta!) & H (Mark Fawke needs a big turnaround in his match with Rich Lee to progress).
In Group A the top two go vis-a-vis for top spot, and likewise in Groups F & G. Clare Templeton will be hoping for a favour from me in Group D!
Group A
Jason Morris v Stuart Longworth / Olly Osmond v Tony Morris
Group B
Josh Hirst v Neil Osborne / Richard Hirst v Shaun Backhouse
Group C
Nick Hogwood v Neil Meredith / Matt Gingell v Danny Ashworth
Group D
Neil Templeton v Pab / Clare Templeton v Dan Pelgrom
Group E
Norman Lee v Jazz Sian / Mahli Gupta v Tony Bowley
Group F
Jamie Tofeili v Rob Currin / Jon Tofeili v Michelle Fernandez
Group G
Ben Hogwood v Pete Britton / Dave Nicklin v Scott Harrison
Group H
Rich Lee v Mark Fawke / Will Oppong v Jamie Sellers
And Another Thing:

We can’t afford to be innocent,
Stand up and face the enemy,
It’s a do or die situation,
We will be invincible.

It took 19 years for Pat B’s words to be made real in England’s top division (Preston North who?) and every year, Gooners celebrate the day this feat cannot be matched – maybe another £80 gazillion will do it for you next year Citeh, maybe next year…

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Winter 2011 : Week 10 Roundup

“I gotta hold on what’s going on”:
“Hello mate, won £20 on PAS this week!” – “Yeah? And? When’s the last time you went to OT though” – “Well, when’s the last time you won anything??! And you don’t go anymore anyway you tw*t!” – “F*ck off Templeton, just wait…” is probably not how the conversation between Olly Osmond 34(6) and Neil T went last week – they’re best mates! Congrats Olly, bet you loved that FA Cup draw eh??!
“like the snow when the sun comes out”:
Yonner, BIFFO and now Week 10 duffer – come on down Mat Jackson 8(0)!
Correct Score of the Week:
If only Norwich had scored one more goal… most popular score were the 2-0s between Leeds/Millwall & Kilmarnock/Aberdeen – 22 of you got those scores!
13 got Bolton’s 3-0 defeat against Sp*rs and Dave C got the 3-1 at the Coral Windows Stadium. Erm, that’s it really…
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stephen Peaston for his inspired new best correct score of the season, Man City 5 Norwich 1.

Table News:

“I’ve got my foot in the door”:
Shaun Backhouse stays top of the league, but his lead has been cut to an even more catchable 7 points by Paul V, who in turn, is 9 points ahead of Norman L in third. Rich L heads the chasing pack and Olly O crashes the Top 10…
“has vanished”:
Michelle Fernandez sinks to the bottom of the pile now 5 points behind Mark J B, who in turn, is 1 point behind Ben H.
“That’s it, I’m not being left out any more”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 13 places is Rowan Marriott- honourable mentions go to Olly O (+8), Julian F (+10), Mahli G (+8), Matt G (+10) and Jon T (+8).
“I gotta hold on…”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 14 places is Mat Jackson – dishonourable mentions go to Jason M (-10), Craig B (-8), Reda A (-6), Danny A (-6) and Stephen S (-7)
PAS Cup 2012:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… librarian & newly wed – Andy Chesworth.
Bet of the Week:
“Chim-chimney, chim-chimney, chim-chim-cheroo, we hate those b*st*rds in claret & blue..” Yep, Burnley scuppered our 5 homes and subjected BotW to another failure! You do not want to finish 11th now…
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Matchday 5 results attached- I’m not even gonna be Channel 5 Thursday night… waaaaahhh!
And Another Thing:
How grim is Wigan town centre, I say centre…

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Winter 2011 : Week 9 Roundup

“You know your worst is better than their best”:
Don’t believe in PMA? Check this – “Can’t believe I won my Champions League game… p*ss-poor scoring the past few weeks so hoping for a 30-40 pointer this weekend” Dunno about you but I’m going try that again next week (actually, it might only work for people named Neil) – Neil Templeton 33 (5) cleaned up in an old skool scoring week for PAS. Take your well deserved £20 mi amigo – maybe you want to donate it to me though as I’m paying £42 to go to OT on Wednesday to watch the Eagles with Gary B…
“And when it hurts you know they love to tell you”:
Oooh I’ve waited many a year for this! Jazz Sian 8 [Videprinter> EIGHT] (0) finishes bottom of the pile in an otherwise tremendous weekend for Sp*rs fans – like this freak score, I’m sure their form will return to business as usual (he says furiously crossing everything and promising Jesus he’ll be good forever if He can just cook up another pre-match meal like the one I asked for last time…)
Correct Score of the Week:
Shocker of a week for some… most popular score was Chelsea’s 3-0 win over the Wanderers of Wolverhampton – 21 of us got that!
5 got the 3-1 at the Britannia, 16 got Sp*rs’s 1-3 v West Brom and 5 got Blackpool’s 2-2 against Birmingham.
5 more got the 0-0 between Doncaster & Watford and 18 got West Ham 3 Derby Co 1.
Dave T / Tony S / Mark S got Palace’s stalemate with Millwall and Rob C & Olly O nailed the Tractor Boys’ 2-3 loss at home to the Royals.
Rich L & Danny B gained 9 points from Burton 3 AFC Wimbledon 2, Paul C & Paul V hit on St Johnstone’s 3-1 v Hibs and Dave N (again!) / Dan P / Paul C (again!) benefitted from the 0-0 at Swansea.
Jon T was very proud to get Man U 1 Toon 1, Frankie F conjured up Sunderland 1 Wigan 2 and Sean P (again!) got Motherwell 0 Dundee U 0.
However, this week’s best correct score would have been Craig B’s Celtic 5 St Mirren 0 but it goes to Louise Briggs for her inspired new best correct score of the season, Dunfermline 3 Aberdeen 3.

Table News:

“You walk on”:
Shaun Backhouse stays top of the league, but his lead has been cut to a very catchable 9 points by Paul V, who in turn, is 7 points ahead of Norman L in third. The peloton is closing though with Neil T crashing the Top 10…
“But there’s no future without tears”:
Michelle Fernandez sinks to the bottom of the pile (about time that I’ll-do-my-scores-in-30-seconds technique got it’s comeuppance – ha!) now 2 points behind Ben H, who in turn, is 2 points behind Stephen P.
“Potentially calling”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 15 places is Simon Lindquist – honourable mentions go to Louise B (+11), Tony S (+12) and Dan P (+10).
“shying from trying”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 14 places is Alex Rossi – dishonourable mentions go to Jazz Sian (-11), Mark G (-10) and Will O (-11)
PAS Cup 2012:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… BotW let down – Neil Osborne.
Bet of the Week:
“We all hate Leeds & Leeds, Leeds & Leeds..” if only for letting us down on our 5 homes acca – ah well, back to normal then! Hopefully Neil T will show Neil O how it’s done next time out…
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Matchday 5 fixtures as follows

Group A
Jason Morris v Tony Morris / Stuart Longworth v Olly Osmond
Group B
Josh Hirst v Shaun Backhouse / Neil Osborne v Richard Hirst

L13 Winter 2011 : Week 8 Roundup

“Way up high above the sky all that beauty passes by”:
Don’t believe in PMA? Check this – “Enough is enough time to get more than one correct score, here goes… Positive thoughts and all that!” Dunno about you but I’m going try that next week – Neil Osborne 46 (10!) cleaned up in a high scoring week for most (can you guess who didn’t do well yet?!) and only a “wrong” fixture denied him best weekly total for the season! You can’t have everything Neil, but you can have £20…
“It’s time for us to go”:
It’s hard enough coming from Wigan, you don’t need any more grief do you? Martin Stafford 10 (0) props up the rest of us this week…
Correct Score of the Week:
I have no idea how people got correct scores this week – most popular score was Barnsley 2 Doncaster Rovers 0 – 27 of you got that score!
21(!) got Man City’s 3-1 against Newcastle, 7 got the 0-0 between Sunderland and The Cottagers and 9 got Middlesbro 2 Blackpool 2…
11 got Southampton 3 Brighton H A 0 and 4 got Chelsea 1 Liverpool 2
Craig B got the 3-0 at the Walkers Stadium and Sean P got Nottm For 3 Ipswich 2.
Frankie F somehow managed to get Rangers 0 St Johnstone 0 and this normally would have been THE score…
However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season thus far (for the sheer drama, if anything!), goes to Jez Hopper for his amazing Wigan Athletic 3 Blackburn Rovers 3.

Table News

“If you want to go with me I’ll take you there”:
Shaun Backhouse stays top of the league, but his lead has been cut to a not-so-massive 14 points by Norman L, who in turn, is 1 point ahead of Paul V in third. I think our winner will come from this elite triumbirate… but a certain Jazz S is on the rise!
“We have time (In my dreams)”:
Jon Tofeili stays bottom of the pile now only 2 points behind Michelle F, who in turn, is 5 points behind Dan P.
“I have been there, I have seen it”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 30 places is Neil Osborne – honourable mentions go to Jazz S (+12), Paul C (+12), Sean P (+14), Mark S (+19), Danny B (+15), Matt G (+13) and Nick H (+13).
“We can chase…”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 24 places is Martin Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Olly O (-10), Clare T (-11), Will O (-10), Reda A (-17), Eric A (-18) and yours truly (-11)
PAS Cup 2012:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… still the chirpy magpie – Dave Nicklin.
Bet of the Week:
Now this is why BotW was invented – to earn attentive followers some money! This is from one enthused PASer – “Who ever does BotW next week needs to keep my money coming, won another £40 on the 4 aways 2 weeks on the bounce now!”
Yep, Sean P smashed in a 5/1 away team 4 timer to earn himself another £2.50 and BotW spot prize slot 49th £3.50. And, if it wasn’t for PNE being rubbish, we would’ve had the 5 homes in too! Excellent work – so no pressure then Neil O…
PAS Champions League 2011/12:
Matchday 4 results attached – personally I think it’s an overrated, money making exercise for show offs…
And Another Thing:
A cautionary tale mes amigos…

“Completed my scoresheet on Wednesday night and been so busy and completely forgot to send it, thought I’d just check it to see what I could of got and had 43 (8) and waiting on a 2-1 spurs win… so completley gutted”

Cheers,
Pab


L13 Winter 2011 : Week 8 Update…

One game to go tonight – but it will be the 29th game as AFC Wimbledon didn’t play Southend as the scoresheet indicated!

Not sure how that one slipped thru (I blame the, ahem, BBC Sport website) but this game is null & void for Week 8.

Just back from the fog & no internet access of sarf London so no latest score updates I’m afraid – BotW looks promising though…

Cheers,
Pab
