PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 9 round up

 “Build a rocket boys!”

 

 

 

 

Weather To Fly:

This week in 2015...

“Imagine one of your best mates got sacked from a Championship side at the behest of some chicken frying clowns – you’d be gutted, right?

Imagine if, in the same week, you managed to record the WORST score EVER in PAS history!

Double gutted?

Triple gutted??!

Embarrassed even?

That’s exactly what happened to our favourite Polski PAS son, Rowan Marriott 4 (0) this week – imagine??!

Surely, a punt on the Lottery can do no harm now can it Row…”

 

This week

“Imagine one of your best mates is sitting atop the Scottish Championship with a city famous for its comic clowns (we won’t mention their up-to-1983 policy on Catholics..) – you’d be made up, right?

Imagine if, in the same week, you managed to record your SECOND weekly win in the same season in your PAS history EVER!

Double made up?

Triple joy??!

Boastful even?

That’s exactly what happened to our favourite Polski PAS son, Rowan Marriott 41 (6) this week – imagine??!

Surely, you feel like you’ve won the Lottery Row…”

 

Another £20 coming your way then fella!

 

Oh. And…

12 people scored thirty points or more this week – Charlie H & Darren McC went close and, were it not for a 93rd minute goal for Plymouth, a resurgent Paul H would have taken the spoils…oooof!

 

 

 

The Loneliness Of A Tower Crane Driver:

A proper barren Week 9 for most, with lots only notching 1 correct score in a “twenty odd points” kinda week.

Nineteen only managed no more than 15 points or less.

5 with no correct scores.

Two got a single digit tally.

Bottom of the pile then, were Lily Templeton & Suman Kaflee 9 (0) – if you’re still here in eight years time mind…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Pah!…most popular score was Toon’s 1-2 win at Brentford  – 22 of youse got that!

 

Eighteen(!) thrilled at the thrilling Celtic 3 Rangers 2

12 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Morecambe 1 Plymouth 3

Twelve somehow stumbled on Southampton 1 Man City 4 (how????)

8 snaffled up the 5 points served up by Liverpool & Arsenal

Reagon K was all over the 0-2 to St Mirren at Hearts

John J got the 1-2 Robins win over Stoke

Paul C was well away with the 0-2 away win for Norwich at Blackburn

Will O just knew Blackpool would score against Cardiff for a 1-3

Jason M got the dull-all at The New Den

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Charlie Harris for his I-love-Colin-and-his-pints-of-raw-eggs inspired, Watford 2 Huddersfield 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dilip Adhikari was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 8 so we asked him (again) to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It was a no show – again!

Obviously, something lost in translation or people really don’t read this far down…imagine?!

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd taking it to £8.03 – noice!

 

 

Matthew Murphy is at 83rd this week….

 

Mathaus, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Don’t let me down, son!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Leaders Of The Free World:

Dan Wayman stays top, now a big big 22 points ahead of Paul H who, in turn, is two points ahead of Neil M in third…he’s on for a title defence, y’know!

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Forget Myself:

Patricia Fernandez stays in last place, a big big sixteen points behind Howard T who, in turn, is 7 points off Lily T…she’s on for a wooden spoon defence, y’know!

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 36 places is Darren McCarthy – honourable mentions go to Rowan M (+19), Charlie H (+18), Kate S (+19), Andy C (+21), and Jason M (+15).

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 8 round up

 “Yes, away fan. You’re sitting all the way up there, man!”

 

 

 

 

Dreams Of Children:

A poor performing week with a ridiculous scrap at the top – so I’ll cut to the chase!

Only six people scored 30 points or more…

Greg F & Max M put in a fair shift but came up short (Greg will be fuming at that 91st minute goal at Kenilworth Road!).

Mike K walloped in the Brighton score only to be scuppered by Barnsley’s 5th in the 93rd minute.

Andy K lashed in the Man City score only to be undone by the 94th minute winner at Hartlepool.

Tom M was robbed by that Campbell goal at Luton…

So that left Neil Osborne 34 (5), rueing a 94th winner at Palace AND a 99th minute winner at Cardiff, but jumping for joy a la Jeff Stelling as that 94th minute Oliver Finney winner secured the £20 weekly prize!

 

After all that Neil, I bet you were as breathless as Roger at Wembley in ’78!

 

 

 

Funeral Pyre:

It really was a bonfire for the 35(!) of us who couldn’t score more than fifteen points this week.

Thirteen didn’t notch a correct score.

4 didn’t get a double figure tally!

 

Propping us all up this week was Simon Lindsay 8 (0) – mate, really hasn’t been a week to be Spurs has it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Just, no…most popular score was Forest’s 1-1 draw with Wolves – 18 of youse got that!

 

 

Nine obviously guessed Arsenal would beat Leeds 4-1

Danny B, Neil O & Matthew M had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at The Hawthorns

Danny B (again!), David G & Tom M turned up Hull 0 Rotherham 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Paul C, Lee T & Andy B just knew Blackpool would score against Preston for a 3-1

Chris D, Mike K & Dan C bribed Dan & Dave to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the back end and waltzed off with Brighton 3 Brentford 3

Andy K & Justin C somehow stumbled on Man City 4 Liverpool 1 (how????)

Tim P nabbed the form book upsetting Kilmarnock 2 Hearts 1

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his Emery-is-no-Dick inspired, Chelsea 0 Aston Villa 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dilip Adhikari was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It was a no show – not a bratwurst!

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – up & running!

 

 

Dilip Adhikari is at 33rd this week….wait! what?!

 

Herr A, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Surely you’ve read this far this week?!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Precious:

Dan Wayman is still top, 13 points ahead of Paul C who, in turn, is eight points ahead of Paul F in third…

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Down In A Tube Station At Midnight:

Patricia Fernandez is still in last place, nine points behind Howard T who, in turn, is 13 points off Paul V

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 7 round up

 “International Week, bloody hell!”

 

 

 

 

Das Model:

Even the “anti-International” Week purists had to admit this one was more in keeping with a regular week – saying that, if you didn’t rack up the bonus points this week, you were in as much trouble as you would in a normal “goal-fest” International Week.

Yeah, I know…

A whopping 42 PASers filled their boots with 30 points or more this week!

Nine of those cracked the hallowed forty point mark, and one reached a season-high fifty points – toll!

Tom W-S will be cursing Leao’s 88th minute 6th goal for Portugal as it denied him 10 big prize winning points and Reagon K will be similarly flailing and wailing at Sweden’s Elanga for his 89th minute goal v Azerbaijan on Monday – it could’ve been you too!

In keeping with the international feels though, it was a German debutant that stole the show this week – Deepak Bogati 50(8) will be dusting down the lederhosen, getting the steins in & inviting the “gegenpress” from his entourage as 8 correct scores (5 of them worth more than 4 points!) secured his maiden £20 weekly prize.

Gut gemacht mein sohn!

 

 

 

 

Radioaktivität:

Ever get the feeling that your “nearly 30 points” is “more like 18 points”?

Three ill-prepared punters didn’t manage more than fifteen points this week and 8 didn’t even get a correct score…spare a thought for Gareth M who went all Sp*rsy with 21 (0) – eeek!

And in keeping with the international feels, it was a Swede (not a turnip) that propped up the rest this week – Anders Hoglund 13 (0), you need to be more Zlatan mate!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Like having your nose pressed against a fancy restaurant’s window…most popular score was Romania’s 0-2 win in Andorra – 25 of youse got that!

 

Twenty one were all over the 0-3 to Greece on”The Rock”

Another 21 doffed a cap to Espana’s 3-0 deconstruction of a Haaland-less Norway

Nineteen made us all green by happening upon Scotland 3-0 Cyprus

13 had Hungary’s 3-0 win over Bulgaria

Twelve will shout out loud about the humbling of Liechtenstein by Portugal

8 are grateful for the 3-1 Denmark win over Finland

Six saw their typos come good on the game between Netherlands & Gibraltar

6 more put us all to shame by predicting Luxembourg 0 Portugal 6

Five got the dull-all at Field Mill

Neil M, Rich L & Frankie F had Sweden’s merciless deconstruction of Azerbaijan

Rowan M & John K revelled in the schadenfreude of Wales’ late late show in Croatia

Howard T & Tim P got the 1-3 Dirty Ol’ Town win over Stevenage

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Suman Kaflee for his the-German-newbies-are-here-and-we’re-coming-for-you inspired, Sweden 0 Belgium 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Tom Morley was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

He said..

“Wednesday to beat Forest Green
France to beat Netherlands
Exeter to beat Accrington
Will that work?”

 

And guess what?!

 

It worked (kinda).

 

The dodgy curry got the Dutch & Exeter mashed up Accrington –  but Big Dunc finally got his vegan credentials up and running at Forest Green to deny us another full house…

So, £2.27 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – cool(ish)!

 

 

Dilip Adhikari is at 45th this week….

 

Herr A, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

You gonna go all Bundesliga on us?!

 

No sauerkraut please mate…

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Die Mensch Maschine:

Dan Wayman remains top, now 18(!) points ahead of Paul C who, in turn, is three points ahead of newbie Jasper M in third…

Patricia Fernandez remains in last place, now sixteen(!) points behind Howard T who, in turn, is 3 points off Paul V

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 6 round up

 “How dare you dis Paddy!”

 

 

 

 

Lucky Star:

Either you lot are getting better (notice I said “you lot” and not “we”) at this or the bar has been lowered when it comes to winning the weekly £20!

Either way, it’s going to some time for me to get anywhere near being a contender (woe is me…)

So,

yet another hotly contested week saw 11 PASers notch up thirty points or more – and nearly all of them in with a shout right up to Sunday afternoon…

Dave C will be cursing his favourite villain as that Man Yoo 96th minute pen did for his claims to the prize & Danny B must have thought he was in when that “worldy” won it for Sheff U.

Peter M was sitting pretty, when up popped Matthew S courtesy of 3 red cards helping to put him in line for a second share of the spoils in a row…

Then,

from the other side of the earth, Paul Carter 36 (4) produced a Super Sunday to top all Super Sundays – accumulating 24 points from 5 games, including three quite remarkable correct scores from the last 3 games (yep, that’s a 4-1, a 5-0 and a 3-1 and two with +90th minute goals!).

 

You ripper!

 

 

 

 

Think Of Me:

When Mr 2-0 gets the sod all points tally he should be getting and you get less, you know it’s a bad bad week…

Sixteen punters got 15 points or less this week, with 6 of those unable to register a correct score.

Only one didn’t break into double figures this week…

 

And that one was you, Stephen Harrison 9 (0)!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wow…most popular score was Reading’s 1-1 draw with Hull – 27 of youse got that!

 

 

Twenty three felt Fergie vibes when that Bruno Fernandes 96th minute penalty secured a 5 pointer 3-1 v Fulham

21 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Celtic 3 Hibs 1

Six thrilled at the thrilling Arsenal 4 Paliss 1

5 lapped up the injury time joy of Sheff Utd 3 Blackburn 2

Dave C, Paul C & Jack B got the 5 goal demolition of Grimsby by Brighton

Anders H & Julian F nailed Chelsea 2 Everton 2

Matthew S & Deepak B got Villa 3 Bournemouth 0

Matt W & Andy B quite rightly predicted Boro’s 4-0 thrashing of PNE

Matthew S (again!) got Bradford’s “Desmond” with Hartlepool

David G celebrated the bore draw between Stoke & Norwich

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Orla McKeown for her I-do-like-to-be-beside-the-seaside inspired, Blackpool 1 Coventry City 4!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Anders Hoglund was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 5 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

My word, we were close to a record haul!

At one o’clock on Sunday we were looking at £65 for 83rd slot, but then Bristol City did what Bristol City do, and caved in again when in south Wales…

However, the self-proclaimed “draw liker” came up with two very unlikely draws!

 

Southampton v Spurs – 93rd min pen, tack!

Chelsea v Everton – 89th minute maiden goal, tack!

 

So, £11.05 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – skol!

 

 

Tom Morley is at 60th this week….

 

Tommy, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

You have the International Week at your mercy or will you go all Football League?

 

Another winner please!

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

La Isla Bonita:

Dan Wayman remains top, 12 points ahead of Paul C who, in turn, is three points ahead of Simon Linds in third…

Patricia Fernandez remains in last place, two points behind Paul V who, in turn, is 3 points off Howard T

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 5 round up

 “The right words sticking me down, and you respect what I’m doing…”

 

 

 

 

Kick!:

It’s all about taking chances and leaving it to chance, innit – ask those who forgot to predict on some games this week…

In a bumper week, 27 players clocked up 30 plus points but none hitting the hallowed 40 point mark.

Congested was an understatement.

Eleven players were all involved in the battle for the weekly £20 prize.

Jasper M bizarrely “missed” all Saturday’s games (but got 3 x correct scores!) and just came up short!

Dan W will be cursing PNE’s 94th minute 2nd goal!

George T put in a shift but actually predicted on all games (perhaps to his detriment)!

Lee T saw Blackburn earn him 5 points in the 90th minute, had a Super Sunday, only then to be undone by Yanited!

Rob C missed Friday’s games and could have been someone…only for Ayr and his beloved Wolves to leave him wanting!

That left Ric Pardoe & Matthew Stafford 38 (6) sharing the spoils – Matthew missed the first two games but got 2 points for his “forgetfulness” as did Ric…but Mr P will also be fuming at that 94th minute PNE goal as without it, it would’ve given him the outright win.

Ouch!

Bravo chicos, hope those tenners go a lot further in Wigan & Stockport than they would in, um, West Didsbury?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feed Me To The Lions:

At the other end of the scale, 7 people took their chances and got nish joy – scoring under fifteen points or less.

Three punters didn’t even get a correct score.

In a “semana horribilis” for la familia del Presidente,  Julian Fernandez 10 (0) propped up the table and saved his nephew, niece & brother the mother of all humiliations…

Phew!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Blimey…most popular score was Burnley’s 3-0 win over Wigan – 35 of youse got that!

 

Eighteen saw their typo come good on the 3-1 game at Spurs

17 just knew Boro wouldn’t keep a clean sheet for a 1-3 at Swansea

Eleven quite rightly predicted Rangers’ 3-0 “thrashing” of Raith

9 put us all to shame by predicting Hearts 0 Celtic 3

Eight obviously guessed Chelsea would beat Leicester 1-3

Seven believed in Bristol Rovers. A 1-3 kinda belief…

7 more we’re so happy for Leeds 2-2 Brighton, they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Six got on the 3-1 party bus & celebrated Shrewsbury 3 Morecambe 1

Lisa W used her Championship nous to land Norwich 0 Sunderland 1

Danny A spotted the 0-1 Sheffield wobble at home to Luton

Lee T revelled in the majesty of Arsenal’s super 0-3 showing at Fulham

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to El Presidente for my it’s-my-only-chance-at-a-mention-these-days inspired, Crystal Palace 0 Man City 1!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Sam Osmond was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 4 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Boom!

 

“Burnley, Man City and Rangers to win”  – and they all won – big up Sam!

So, £5.02 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – that’s the way to do it!

 

 

Anders Hoglund is at 83rd this week….

 

Mr H, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

Can you make it a double treble? Has the Swedish Allsvenskan started yet?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Stand & Deliver:

Dan Wayman stays top, scarily now 13 points ahead of Simon Linds who, in turn, is one correct score ahead of Paul F in third…

 

Five crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Cartrouble:

Patricia Fernandez is still bottom (turning 84 this week DID bring you the wisdom of reading league tables & current form, Mum!), but now only three points behind Howard T who, in turn, is 4 points off Deepak B

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Matthew Stafford – honourable mentions go to Rob C (+26), Paul H (+23), Justin C (+22), and Ric P (+21).

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 4 round up

 “Seven! (97′)”

 

 

 

 

M.E.:

Nine bods notched 30 points or more and there was a proper bun fight for top spot with 4 contesting the spoils of the week.

Suman K is probably regretting putting St Mirren to beat Celtic and Reagon K nearly went from “zero” to “hero” only to be let down by Everton & Fulham at the death…

So, you’d think nailing the frankly outrageous 3-2 west London derby win for Brentford would deffo seal a weekly win…

 

Well, you would wouldn’t you?

Unfortunately not this time.

 

A GNeville-esque gaff of missing the Friday night/Saturday morning predicting action actually produced 3 correct scores from 4 games as Dan Clarke 35 (5) exploited the “on-trend” Mr 2-0 to take the £20 prize!

If it’s any consolation to the rest of us, he had an agonising 9 minute wait hoping Celtic didn’t score again against 10 men St Mirren…

 

You’re right, it’s all the more galling isn’t it.

 

 

 

 

 

Everyday I Die:

If your name is Tony & you’re Yanited through &  through (have you noticed that the “&” is on the same key as “7”?!) you may want to run and hide.

Seventeen got less than 15 points in a pretty dire week with fifteen not even getting a correct score.

But propping up the rest was Tony Morris 10 (0)

“Sit here, shut up and listen to Dan C celebrating…”

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Didn’t you do well…most popular score was Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Dirty Leeds – 18 of youse got that!

 

 

Seven were well away with the 1-3 away win for Aberdeen at Dundee Utd

6 made us all green by happening upon Hearts 3-0 St Johnstone

Five(!) thrilled at the thrilling Brentford 3 Fulham 2

4 nabbed the form book upsetting Morecambe 0 Bolton 0

Four more were grateful for the 3-1 Rangers win over Kilmarnock

Martin S, Predictz & Lisa W thanked the Lord for PNE discovering their stalemate credentials at Watford

Rowan M & John K  celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 3-2 at The Emirates in ’23

Reagon K snaffled up the 5 points served up by the nil-nil at Blackpool

Jasper M said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Brighton 4 West Ham 0

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Dan Clarke for his Ivan-Toney-gave-me-the-nod inspired, St Mirren 1 Celtic 5!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Pete Clarke was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 3 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Oooops…

 

Middlesbrough – wham!
Sunderland – damn!
Tranmere – oh, man…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – this isn’t going well, is it?

 

Sam Osmond is at 33rd this week….

 

Little Sam, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please! (ask your Dad first!)

 

We NEED a winner though…

 

No pressure son!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

The Joy Circuit:

Dan Wayman stays top, 8 points ahead of Simon Linds who, in turn, is one point ahead of Paul F in third…

 

Five crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

This Wreckage:

Patricia Fernandez stays rooted to the bottom (maybe turning 84 this week will bring you the wisdom of reading league tables & current form…), nine points behind Paul V who, in turn, is 2 points off Deepak B

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tracks:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 40 places is Dan Clarke – honourable mentions go to Pete B (+28), Suman K (+30), Matt M (+24), John K (+23), and Reagon K (+31)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Down In The Park:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 27 places is Ben McKeown – dishonourable mentions go to Sam A (-25), Olly O (-24), Andy F (-21), Paul H (-26), Jason M (-24), and Andy C (-23)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 3 round up

 “Sure…?”

 

 

 

 

Hymn:

Does persistence pay off? Does practice make perfect? Does standing over someone with a massive stick to beat them with until they do it, get results? Or does a bit of guidance make a difference? Maybe a bit of persuasion and explanation on why you do things, helps? Or is it just random luck?

Who knows, but Rowan Marriott 40 (7) became a PAS week winner since FOREVER, whisking away the £20 prize by way of two x injury-time goals and some care & attention to what he was doing!

Sam O will by raging he missed 4 games and Dan W went all the way to the finish line only to be undone by random Monday night result picked up by Rowan

Nineteen scored 30+ points in another fine week of predicting that could be a record breaking season if this trend carries on – wow!

 

 

 

 

 

Vienna:

As the standards go up, the five people who couldn’t even manage 15+ points will be even more down…

4 didn’t register a correct score.

Reagon Karki 12 (0) limped home last this week – and probably wishes he was anywhere than in Germany right now…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Another good week folks…most popular score was Bristol City’s 1-0 win over Hull – 19 of youse got that!

 

Nine will shout out loud about the humbling of Huddersfield by Burnley

6 saw their typo come good on the game at Bournemouth gifting them 9 points…

Five lapped up the injury time joy of Reading 3 Blackpool 1

Chris D & John J just knew QPR would score against Blackburn for a 1-3

Kate S & Predictz decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Crystal Palace. And they did…

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to….no one. Again. No unique correct score for a third week…amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Matt Worsfold was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Epic fail…

 

 

“Good morning treacle – here’s my BOTW selections
The Worsfold 3-Fold
Liverpool to win + 2.5 goals in the game – ooops!
Man United to win + 2.5 goals in the game – nearly
Jake Paul to beat the pretender Tommy Fury – nope!”

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – booooooo!

 

A few are at 45th this week….but Pete Clarke was first out the hat!

 

Pierre, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

Will you go back to basics?

 

No pressure fella!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

We Came To Dance:

Even more ominously, Dan Wayman stays top, but now 11 points ahead of Simon Linds who, in turn, is five points ahead of Frankie F in third…did I just read that right??!

 

Five crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

All Stood Still:

Patricia Fernandez moves down a place to the bottom, two points behind Debbie L who, in turn, is 2 points off Paul V

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 2 round up

 “Jesus is coming…”

 

 

Chime:

Not since Charlie Nicholas putting us 0-1 up in a Milk Cup quarter final in 1986 has Villa Park witnessed such ecstatic carnage in the away section as it did on Saturday lunchtime (although we brought 8,000 up that night!).

And talking of thrilling finishes…

Nine punters scored more than 30 points in a proper scrap for the £20 weekly prize this week!

Justin C produced an inspired performance (39 pts) after his horror show last week and Ben H notched up a very creditable 42 points after a similar shaky Week 1.

In fact, Ben went toe-to-toe and blow-for-blow only to be undone by an old man still recreating his magic after all these years…

But!

Don’t give up kids!

“All the high scorers will mess up sooner or later…” is surely the message here (even if you miss out by a measly point!)

 

After smashing in 3 correct scores courtesy of 90 min+ goals, a 4-0 and a 0-0, Dan Wayman 43 (8) is not letting up his grip on that trophy he won last season (hold on, is that why it’s broken?!).

As mentioned, Ben H matched him all the way, but it was some Neil Warnock wizardry in West Yorkshire that secured the telling correct score to get our current champion over the line…

 

Well played Mr. W!

 

 

 

 

Satan:

Gawd! Can you imagine being sold the PAS dream by your mate with the line, “but all your mates are doing it…” and then walking into a nightmare?

11 PASers didn’t get beyond fifteen points this week, with 4 not getting a single correct score.

One didn’t manage double figures.

Suman Kaflee 9 (0) is probably pining for the Bundesliga right now…

 

Welcome Hr. K!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Another bumper week folks…most popular score was St Mirren’s 1-0 win over Ross County– 28 of youse got that!

 

Seventeen had Celtic’s merciless mauling of Aberdeen

15 had Boro’s 3-1 win over QPR

Thirteen were all over the 0-3 to Rangers

11 doffed a cap to Man Utd’s 3-0 deconstruction of Leicester

Six turned up Hull 0 PNE 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those poor souls who were actually there…

4 got the o-3 Posh win over Morecambe

Rob C & Kate S banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt AFC Wimbledon & Hartlepool

Stuart F & Dan C had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at the DW Stadium

Danny B & Moi bribed Dan & Dave to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the backend, and waltzed off with Watford 3 WBA 2.

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to….no one. Again. No unique correct score for a second week…this is a first!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Luke Stafford was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Oh dear…

 

“it’s always going to be darts – Premier League trixie for Peter Wright, Chris Doby & Michael Smith to win their games….”
Wrong, wronger & right.

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – not the ideal start is it!

 

Loads are at 60th this week….but Matt Worsfold was first out the hat though!

 

Maffew, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

Will you go jellied eel racing?

 

No pressure treacle!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

Halcyon:

Ominously, Dan Wayman moves up 22 places to take his seat at the summit, 5 points ahead of Mark S who, in turn, is one point ahead of newbie Jasper M in third…

 

 

Seven crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

Dirty Rat:

Paul Vinson remains rooted to the bottom, one point behind Patricia F who, in turn, is 1 point off Anders H

 

 

 

 

Belfast:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 69 places is Justin Corliss – honourable mentions go to Jasper M (+28), Ben H (+68), Jason M (+29), Dave N (+42), Rich L (+35), Sturat F (+45), Tom W-S (+30) and Danny A (+28)

 

 

 

Funny Break:

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 1 round up

 Current champ Dan Wayman has a puzzle to distract him this season…can you take his crown?

 

 

Eye Know:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Rashford – PAS!

Although, given the sharpness of this update, I could’ve waxed lyrical about “a big game on Wednesday” and how karma works (think that Chelsea fan is up out of his wheelchair now…) and gone into the absurdness of that unnecessary thing called VAR…

 

But I won’t…

 

I’ll cut to the chase as it was all about the “hot out the blocks” points trailblazers – and, they deserve props, right?

Two PASers were 3 x flame emojis this weekend as Andy Kelly 44 (8) nailed 5 correct scores across the, ahem, lower leagues to power to victory (actually he’s probably more indebted to those VAR decisions at West Ham & Palace tbh!)

Have a heart and spare a thought for Sam A who matched Andy’s points haul but fell short on the correct scores count (he did get a big 10 pointer at Celtic though!) and Mark S who narrowly missed out after employing a deft move to not predict Friday’s matches…

 

 

So, congrats Mr K, £20 winging its way back to you ASAP – everything else is a bonus for you this season now!

 

 

Say No Go:

Did you score 30 points + this week? Wow, we’re in awe…

Twenty five of you managed that, but only 4 punters couldn’t manage 15 points this week  – and 3 of those couldn’t muster a correct score!

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Jordan Pickford though, eh?

Anyway…

Everyone managed to break into double digits, but feeling no joy in Week 1 is Paul Vinson 11 (0).

Dr V, you spared my mum’s blushes – I salute you!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Game on people…most popular score was Man City’s warm up 3-1 win over Villa – 25 of youse got that!

 

Twenty one got Burnley’s 3 goal demolition of PNE

15 got Ipswich’s “Desmond” with Sheff Wed

Seven got the dull-all at the Bet 365 (that’s the Britannia to you & I)

7 more got Sheff Utd 3 Swansea 0

Seven others got the very annoying last minute spoiling Cardiff 1 Middlesbro 3

4 celebrated the bore draw between Blackpool & Rotherham

Olly O, Sam A & Jasper M (welcome!) somehow stumbled on Celtic 5 St Mirren 1 (how????)

Ric P & Reagon K nailed Hartlepool 2 Sutton Utd 2

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to….no one. No unique correct score this week folks!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 83rd will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 60th in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 33rd in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 83rd…yeah?!

Good.

So, youngster Luke Stafford is first up. (ask your Dad first Luke!) – Luke was first out the 83rd place hat that included Will O, Harry H & Tom W-S…

 

Luka, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be a home, away or draw. It doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or dogs! Or fighting crickets! But not cricket…that’s a step too far!

Let’s get off to a winning start for a change.

No pressure lad…

And Another Thing:

A lot of the payments have come in – thanks! Anyone who hasn’t got round to it, please do as soon as possible – don’t make me chase you!

 

 

Remember we raised all that money during the PAS World Cup?

 

Here are the reactions…

 

“On behalf of the team at Equidem I would like to thank you for your generous donation and wish you a great end to the year and start of 2023! With your help we will continue to track down the exploited workers who made the FIFA World Cup possible and who are owed thousands in wages. My best…” – Jason Nemerovski

 

“Justin has sent you a thank you for donating to Justin Fashanu Statue Campaign – Thank you so much for your generosity!”

 

 

 

 

Twitter is dead & so is Instagram – but we’ve got a What’s App group!

Wanna join?

Why?

Well, I send round reminders that you don’t have to check your email for.

Erm…some people are quite funny (some are annoying) & hopefully, we’ll get some good pics of away fans at games.

We will crush any “hilarious GIFs” though…

Plus, you can gloat when you land that 9 pointer in the 91st minute!

Email me over your number and i’ll add ya ([email protected])

 

Cheers,

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’22 final table round up

“Mbappe”:

So, who won?

Well…a PASer who has, let’s say, been very much a “mystery”.

Letting the “this-is-how-to-win-a-league-title” weekly performances do the talking “on the pitch” by opting to stay away from our What’s App group (erm, the rest of youse are all on that aren’t you?!) paid dividends despite missing out on giving the Arse “zero love”, as is the want of everyone on there…<shakes fist>

It was another pretty close, compacted & confusing season that included yet another interruption a la the “Covid years” plus, we had the early start to accommodate the first summer World Cup.

And, whilst the Gunners smoothly glide their way to the, ahem, title (please let it happen!!!) with their new found belief & consistency in the real world, our champion pretty much emulated Mikel’s “Process” in the PAS victory!

A few players kinda threatened to win it, but…

No one got really got that close in the end to a tally that now goes in, with a bullet, as the 24th “best winning score” ever!

To be perfectly frank, it was another of those almost perfect campaigns…

Our “Winter” champ started the season off at an easy 21st, stayed there for another week, before jumping to 6th – and then remained in the Top Ten for the duration. Blimey.

It was up to 4th in Week 5 (which was actually Week 6 – don’t ask…), then hitting top in Week 7!

More dips?

No.

Well, bar Week 10, when it was all the way down to 2nd…

Week 11 was all about putting the persistent Jason M et al to the sword!

With the impeccable timing of a seasoned PAS pro, when really it mattered, all challengers were brushed aside in a remarkable performance of concentrated consistency!

 

So, lords, ladies & gents, please be upstanding and doff your caps to Dan Wayman 345 (46) – He. Is. A. Winner!

 

I would say “no way” man, but it’s very much a case of “yes way”! (Sorry. The port is kicking in…)

Bravo Mr W, you’ve shown some sterling scoring this season!

 

Danny Boy won by a comprehensive 11 points from a resurgent Jazz Sian in second place.

“The King” finished one point ahead of perennial prize botherer, Jason Morris, in third spot.

Scott Harrison was a further point behind in the not-too-shabby 4th berth, with Simon Buxton 6 points shy in 5th – proudly flying the “I’m The Top Buxton” banner once again as son Jack was 10 points behind in sixth spot.

Just two points further back, Charlie Harris can reflect on a fine season, (not quite akin to the halycon days of a few years ago, but, y’know…), finishing in seventh whilst in eighth place (only 3 correct scores back) was the ever enthusiastic Ric Pardoe. And, just one point behind him in 9th, at the other end of the Mersey from Stockport, was the ever-effervescent Neil Meredith!

Old skooler Olly Osmond just edged out the much improved geordie Stephen Peaston in 10th –  courtesy of a single point…dusted, bruv!

 

 

“Martinez”: 

Only 17 points, but 66 places, separated our new champion from our wooden spoon champion, Frankie Fernandez 222 (23) in Week 1!

Daughters, eh?!

Awkward…

 

Starting in 87th, my girl never really recovered.

Like a role model to rubbish yo-yoing, it was 83rd, down to 91st, up to 77th (a season high!), then down to 86th for two weeks!

Week 7 it was down to 90th.

A brief rally to 85th & then to 82nd was followed by a slip back down to 85th in Week 10.

Week 11 saw her nestled in at second bottom

A ray of hope in Week 12, up t0 92nd, but then the final fall…securing the wooden spoon to round off another miserable PAS year.

Pete C, Dan M, Emma T, Will O & newcomer Lisa W made gallant efforts over the season to save Francesca’s blushes, but…
