“and you keep laughing and laughing and laughing”:

Strewth! A bizarre weekend of scores (even at Stamford Bridge – snigger!) put pay to most predictions this week. However, being upside down must aid predicting prowess as Paul Carter 38 (4) slammed home this week’s winning set of scores. £20 winging it’s way south Paul – Foster’s all round and even more prawns on the bar-b then cobber?!

“nothing is ever quite the same really”:

This week is why we give Mr 2-0 9(0) his 2-0 default score – ha! Not a week to miss submitting your scores…

Correct Score of the Week:

Some fine individual performances… – most popular score was Sp*r’s 1-3 win over QPR – 24 of you got that!

Howard T & Julian F got the 3-1 at Eastlands, 8 got Sunderland’s “Desmond” v Villa and 4 got Swansea’s 3-1 against Bolton Wanderers.

Six got the 3-1 between Derby & Portsmouth and 5 got Watford 3 Peterborough 2.

Richard H & Tony S got Palace’s draw with not-so-free-scoring Reading, Olly O & Steve T got Southampton’s 3-0 at St Marys, Paul C/Reda A/Gareth M got the three-two for W Ham over Leicester and Martin S nailed Brighton’s 0-0 at Birmingham.

Clare T got the bore draw between Shrewsbury & AFC Wimbledon and Anders H got Burnley 3 Blackpool 1

However, this week’s best correct score, and best of the season so far, goes to Paul Carter for his inspired and quite obviously lucky, Carlisle 3 Oldham 3.

Table News:

“and everything looks like a giant cupcake”:

Shaun Backhouse stays top the league and extends his lead to a massive 18 points ahead of Norman L who in turn is 3 points ahead of Jamie S in third.

“it’s time to turn into a frog yourself”:

Jon Tofeili plunges to the bottom of the pile now 8 points behind Ben H who in turn is 6 letters behind Pete B.

“and you can jump all the time and everywhere”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 35 places is Gareth Morgan – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+30), Jazz S (+12), Andy C (+12), Reda A (+27), Anders H (+13) and Stuart L (+11)

“so far away from me”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 16 places is Mr 2-0 – dishonourable mentions go to Louise B (-16), Matt G (-13), Neil B (-13), Vim G (-13), Mark J B (-13) and Stephen P (-14)

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… the reggae standard – Reda Allam.

Bet of the Week:

Oh so close! Again! The “draws” and “aways” went by the wayside as per normal, but only pesky bloomin’ Celtic let us down on the homes- boo! Next up is Mr Carter – get something Paul!

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

See attached for full round up by clicking on the “current” tab (unless like me, you’d rather look away…)

And Another Thing:

You’ll be getting a winter break! It’s been a long ol’ season already so Week 8 is cancelled and everything is pushed forward a week, meaning Week 13 will now be at Christmas time! Don’t say we never do anything for you now…

Cheers,
Pab

“Burst into heaven”:

How apt that in a weekend when Man Yoo have to take some overdue humiliation that a fellow Gooner wins some plaudits and prize money to help put that horrible day in August away to the back. Dave Crisp 33 (5) can now buy £20 of coins to throw at Theo until he’s bleeding to death and takes his clown sized feet away fast as his “legendary” pace will take him from our club – back to provincial lower league football where he belongs and maybe they’ll appreciate him clapping the crowd for 14 minutes when he’s dragged after another predictable, inept, watless performance. No need to ask if you want help throwing them mate! Congrats and viva Carl Jenkinson!

“…smash my dream of love”:

Even his beloved bet-busting Everton couldn’t cheer Sean Peers 9(0). Woeful. But hey, chin up son, every cloud n all that, you’re playing Man Utd next!

Correct Score of the Week:

Man it was desperate… most popular score was Blackburn’s 1-2 with Sp*rs – 19 of you got that!

6 got the 2-3 at London Road, 4 got Wolves’s 2-2 v Swansea and Sam A & Mahli G got West Brom’s 1-2 against Aston Villa.

Anders H & Will O got the 0-1 between Ipswich & Palace, 4 got Portsmouth 3 Doncaster Rovers 1, another 4 got the stalemate at Tannadice and 10 got the 3-1 between The Arsenal and The Cavemen.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to nobody as Julian F’s inspired and fairly obvious in my eyes as the Canaries are a spread betters dream, Liverpool 1 Norwich 1 was some how matched by Francesca F (courtesy of her nan)! Mad…

Table News:

“Looking down on me above”:

Shaun Backhouse goes up two places to top the league 2 points ahead of long time leader Paul V who in turn is 1 point ahead of Sam A in third.

“Seems like there’s a hole in my dreams”:

Josh Hirst stays bottom of the pile now only 2 points behind Rowan M who in turn is two points behind Pete B (like he cares this week!).

“You move in right away”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 22 places is Matt Gingell – honourable mentions go to Richard H (+11), Charlie H (+11), Isaac A (+11), Will O (+18), Anders H (+16) and Julian F (+11)

“I can’t stop coming down”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 15 places is Danny Bushell – dishonourable mentions go to Simon B (-14), Jamie T (-12), Clare T (-12), Michelle F (-13), and Sean P (-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…a humbled Red – Tony Morris.

Bet of the Week:

Oh so close! The “homes” and “aways” went by the wayside as per normal, but on 90 mins we had 3 draws in, then Everton decided to score two – boo! Next up is Mr Crisp – we need something tasty Dave!

Please be aware sending your scoresheet via iPhone or Android is causing problems when applied to the matrix – correct scores are not being picked up! (but we do check, but it is a pain!) Where you can, always send your scores as a Word doc attachment…

Pab

Hola, definitive PAS L13 Winter 2011 Champions League guide has been updated – we’re pretty certain this version is glitch free (he says, crossing everything…) – check it out and flag up any discrepancies please!

Week 5 scoresheet back by Blondie time on Saturday (Google “Parallel Lines” if you’re not old enough for this reference and then make sure you take note and listen!)

BotW to follow – it’s a corker!

Cheers,
Pab

PS – Rowan M maybe floundering behind Frankie in the league table but he nailed a 29/1 treble this evening – Olympiacos/Arsenal/Leicester!

“You bet your life it is”:

More sibling rivalry & baiting is ensured as will Jason M’s standing in the “Syndicate (“Ref! Ref! REF! Sub. Josh H, you’re on son. Jase.. Jase? JAAASE! Don’t ignore me. Don’t kick that water bottle! Sit there! There! Where you going?! Wher-don’t go down that tunnel son or you’re finished…) Sorry. Erm, yeah, Tony Morris 34(6) claimed this week’s £20 in a fiercely contested week…

“This is not really happening”:

Yet another unpredictable week scuppered most people’s scores (and accumulator bets!) more so, Rowan Marriott 9(0) who was left floundering and flapping. Well, his second kid is due anytime now – he’s probably practicing his hand holding technique rather than studying form… Bless.

Correct Score of the Week:

A few, a few… – most popular score was St Johnstone’s 2-0 v Inverness Cally – 24 of you got that!

5 got the 2-2 at the Cardiff City Stadium, 19 got Chelski’s 3-1 v Everton and 13 got Newcastle 2 Spurs 2.

Vim G, Steve T & Will O got Leeds’s 0-3 against Doncaster R, Norman L/Martin S/Charlie H got the 4-1 between Man City & A Villa and Sam A & Tony S got Norwich City 3 Swansea City 1

Simon Linds got Coventry’s 1-0 victory over The Reds.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Jason Morris for his inspired, Brighton & H A 0 Hull City 0.

Table News:

“And the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much”:

Paul Vinson stays top for a fourth week (will he do a Tony Bowley??!) and now goes 10 points ahead of Jamie S who in turn is 2 points ahead of Shaun B in third.

“Things are getting kind of gross”:

Josh Hirst stays bottom of the pile 12 points behind Rowan M who in turn is five points behind li’l Frankie F (ahhh).

“Thought that was a good solution”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places is Louise Briggs – honourable mentions go to Dave C (+19), Simon Linds (+18), Jason M (+20), Rob C (+20) and Tony M (+26)

“Givin us a yo heave ho”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 21 places is Mat Jackson (I hope you’re sorry Mat Jackson..) – dishonourable mentions go to Mahli G (-17), Eric A (-18), Andy C (-19), Sean P (-15), and Francesca F (-20)

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… Manchester legend – Eric Allison.

Bet of the Week:

Shaun B stepped up and fell on all three fronts in quite spectacular fashion for BotW slot 49th… can Tony M do any better??! Will it be third time lucky for the “Syndicate”?

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Matchday 2 results below – tables to follow… we’re, erm, still having teething problems. Safe to say, I lost my “derby” to a much prettier face (yeah, granted, difficult to imagine..) and Group D really is proving to be the “death” of me. On a brighter note the PAS equivalent of the Gallaghers had a right ol’ ding-dong but the Croydon face off turned out to be a damp squib (innit)

Group A

Tony Morris 34(6) Jason Morris 29(4) / Olly Osmond 24(2) Stuart Longworth 14(1)

Group B

Shaun Backhouse 21(2) Josh Hirst 18(3) / Richard Hirst 25(4) Neil Osborne 20(2)

Group C

Danny Ashworth 28(4) Nick Hogwood 23(3) / Matt Gingell 23(4) Neil Meredith 24(3)

Group D

Dan Pelgrom 14(1) Neil Templeton 21(2) / Clare Templeton 28(3) Pab 17(1)

Group E

Tony Bowley 22(2) Norman Lee 25(3) / Mahli Gupta 14(1) Jazz Sian 24(2)

Group F

Michelle Fernandez 17(2) Jamie Tofeili 26(5) / Jon Tofeili 20(2) Rob Currin 32(5)

Group G

Scott Harrison 24(4) Ben Hogwood 13(0) / Dave Nicklin 19(1) Pete Britton 20(3)

Group H

Jamie Sellers 33(6) Rich Lee 21(2) / Will Oppong 17(1) Mark Fawke 19(2)

And Another Thing:

Martin S got 6 correct scores this week… from only 7 correct results! Maybe some sort of record – I’ll get Motty on the phone…

Cheers,
Pab

“I’m stuck with a valuable friend”:

Man, what a week of two halves eh? I mean, we had a scouser crowing on Saturday and then a Yorkshireman storming through on Tuesday! Ou est les Londresners?

Shaun Backhouse 49 (8) really put a marker down in the “syndicate” circles (Jason M, you’re in for another barracking mate!) and came through on the final 15 games to take this week’s £20 – well done Shaun, betting it on the Steel City derby are we?!

“Oh no, don’t say it’s true”:

A bit like a plucky Championship side mixing it with the big boys, Josh Hirst 12(0) is starting to feel the pace and rapidly going backwards… chin up son, at least you’re “Champions League”!

Correct Score of the Week:

Not that bad considering – most popular score was France’s 3-0 win over Albania – 26 of us got that!

17 got the 1-3 in Istanbul, Louise B & Jazz S got the Red Devil’s 4-1 v Kazakhstan and 19 got the Germans efficient 3-1 v Belgium.

Mahli G, Matt W & Olly O got the 6-0 between Russia & Andorra and 12 got Moldova’s 4-0 win over San Marino. 4 got Wales’s 0-1 in Sofia, 8 got (sob) Denmark 2 Portugal 1 and 5 got Norway 3-1 Cyprus.

23 got the Azzurri’s 3-0 v Norn Iron and 13 got Espana 3 Escosia 1.

Matt W got Sweden 3 Holland 2 – remarkable…

However, this week’s best correct score and now best of the season, goes to Julian Fernandez for his inspired, albeit insane, Cyprus 1 Denmark 4.

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 continues. Mr 2-0 (“The Syndicate”) crashed and burned on all three fronts for BotW slot 33rd… can Shaun B do any better??!

Table News:

“Strung out in heaven’s high”:

Paul Vinson stays top for a third week (he’s looking good this boy!) and goes 6 points ahead of Shaun B who in turn is 9 points ahead of Olly O in third.

“The shrieking of nothing is killing”:

Josh Hirst plummets to the bottom of the pile 14 points behind Stephen S who in turn is one correct score behind Martin S.

“ …an axe to break the ice”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 33 places is Paul Henshaw – honourable mentions go to Olly O (+28), Rich L (+25), Simon B (+23), Neil T (+27) and Matt W (+29)

“Wanna come down right now”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 30 places is Mr. 2-0/Mark J B/Vim G – dishonourable mentions go to Tony B (-23), Tony S (-27), Dan P (-25), Jez H (-23), Gary B (-23) and Matt G (-29)

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… a happy Hotspur – Simon Lindsay.

PAS Champions League 2011/12:

Matchday 2 fixtures as follows – a brothers derby, a Croydon derby, a best-looking-in-PAS derby…

Group A

Tony Morris v Jason Morris / Olly Osmond v Stuart Longworth

Group B

Shaun Backhouse v Josh Hirst / Richard Hirst v Neil Osborne

Group C

Danny Ashworth v Nick Hogwood / Matt Gingell v Neil Meredith

Group D

Dan Pelgrom v Neil Templeton / Clare Templeton v Pab

Group E

Tony Bowley v Norman Lee / Mahli Gupta v Jazz Sian

Group F

Michelle Fernandez v Jamie Tofeili / Jon Tofeili v Rob Currin

Group G

Scott Harrison v Ben Hogwood / Dave Nicklin v Pete Britton

Group H

Jamie Sellers v Rich Lee / Will Oppong v Mark Fawke

And Another Thing:

Was Wayne’s dad on it again??! Even after all the viral jokes?! Really??!

Cheers,
Pab

Alex Rossi way out front after 15 games on 32(6) – best points tally of the season on the cards? Sean P & Andy C continue the chase on 27 (5) & (4) respectively and Steve T & Jazz S are well placed on 25 points…

At the other end Josh H is struggling again on 7(0) with Mr 2-0 and his 8 disciples not faring much better on 8 pts (ha!)

Bet of the Week failed on all 3 fronts yet again (boo!) and if like me, you had a few pennies on England, you’ll be ruing Rooney’s red-mist/instructions – from-dad moment and counting the cost!

Still, Mark S and myself will be collecting from Richard H courtesy of a fine Wales performance in the QF on Sat morning!

Week 4 scoresheet is up on this site now and Week 3 round up on Thursday(ish).

Cheers,
Pab
