“Who got the pay?”:

It was a close run thing right up to the last two games at least…eventually a man from that infamous syndicate swooped down to claim the & 20. Step up Shaun Backhouse 37 (6) – that put you in the good books amongst your peers?!

“They walked with a limp. I thought something was wrong.”:

Oh dear, a few weeks ago he forgot to send the winning scoresheet in (no, really) and now he’s it the real rock bottom – Mark Shakespeare 10(0) – could it get any worse?!

Correct Score of the Week:

Guess who got the 7-1?… Dan P got Bolton 0 Man U 4, 6 got Celtic’s 3-1 v Kimarnock, Ben H got the coupon buster Derby 1 Leicester 0, Julian F & Matt G got Dundee U 3 Motherwell 0, Sam A/Simon Linds/Moi got Hibs 1-3 at Falkirk, 7 got the 5 points at Anfield, 11 got the 5 points at Eastlands, Dan P/Howard T/Gareth M got the 2-2 between PNE & QPR and 6 got the nil-nil at Swansea.

“Settle for the riches to be fed”:

It was a battle royale for top spot this week and emerging triumphant came Gareth Morgan 45 97). Well done G, £20 enough to entice a juicy tabloid expose??!

“Paying for your past crime”:

How apt! Jon Tofeili 11(0) isn’t quite point-less but close nevertheless. Real life imitating art anyone?! (see below…)

Correct Score of the Week:

Jeez, you lot made up for it this week… 16 got Man Yoo’s 3-0, 6 got the nil nil at Barnsley and 4 more got the one at Stoke. 6 got Chelsea 4 West Ham 1 5 got Norwich’s 1-3 at Huddersfield and 4 got the 3-2 nine pointer at WBA.

Whooo! Whooo! The man bang in form came up trumps once again! Tony B correctly called 3 draws @ 34/1 and 3 aways @ 4/1 earning himself another £19 and more importantly, BotW spot prize 55th at least £21! Big up!

Table News:

“A solitary bird…”:

Tony Bowley stays top for a seventh week, now with an even more incredible 32 point lead over the new kid on the block, nine year old Josh H. Jazz S, obviously smarting from his Cup exit, moves ominously up to third.

Our first PASer to make a national telly appearance alert! Get your Sky+ activated people! Over to you Jon Tofeili…

I’m gonna be on TV next Wednesday 17th (St Paddy’s Day) @ 4:30pm (BBC2) on a gameshow called POINTLESS!!!!!

For those who haven’t seen it, e.g. people who work, it’s a bit like Family Fortunes in reverse (you’ve got to get the answers that score the least points)

It was summit my ma wanted to do and I agreed to thinking we’d never get on :)

Don’t think I embarrassed myself too much but will await the inevitable pi** taking etc.

Try to refrain until you have at least seen it!!

This is my 15 mins :)

We tried to kit him out in a PAS hat, scarf and natty tee but Auntie Beeb wouldn’t have it…

Cheers,
Pab

“…we were golden”:

There’s a pretender to the Jazz Sian crown for being really really good at PAS! Tony Bowley 42 (7) takes his second weekly £20 prize and you want to see what he’s doing to the table…

“You can try your whole life…”:

He may be sunning himself up in Dubai but Mark J Brown 12 (0) has a dreary ol’ score this week.

Correct Score of the Week:

Not the best… 4 got Arsenal 3 Burnley 1, 12 got Norwich 3 Yeovil 1 and 8 got the Rangers 3-1. Julian F, Jon A, Shaun B got the 0-0 between Fulham and Spurs and Clare T, Sam A, Vim G got the 0-0 between Colchester and Brighton. Best correct score of the week? No one claimed that…

Bet of the Week:

The curse strikes again as Neil T goes close but not close enough – surely Tony B can make it stop with his second attempt this season?

Table News:

“Sometimes there’s no poison like a dream”:

Tony Bowley stays top for a sixth week, now with an incredible 31 point lead over the new kid on the block, Josh H. Scott A is up to third.

like things from the 80’s? Check these out for some vintage! http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_8298000/8298751.stm and http://smashingtelly.com/2007/09/12/the-inter-city-firm-1985/ and on the Smashing Telly you’ll find that 1984 “Threads” drama about a nuclear holocaust – which gave me bad dreams for a few nights!

“Can work wonders”:

A lovely double for the Templeton household this season as Neil Templeton 47 (9) had the landlords of Belfast no doubt jumping for joy… hopefully he’ll raise a glass to runner up Josh H who missed out courtesy of 2 correct scores – a fine performance from our second youngest PASer in the Spring ’10 campaign.

“…when I try and just die”:

William, oh William, it really was nothing this week – Will Oppong 14 (0) is feeling down, miserable even…

Correct Score of the Week:

Quite tame this week folks… 15 got the blindingly obvious St Mirren 0 Hamilton 0, 8 got WBA 3 Derby 1, 6 got the Arsenal’s 1-3 at Stoke, 6 got the bore-fest between Sunderland & Fulham, Nick H & Matt G got Dundee U 3 Falkirk 0 and Mark Sh & Clare T got the other 0-0 at Portman Road. However, best correct score of the week, goes to Gareth Morgan for his “administration busting” Burnley 1 Portsmouth 2.

Bet of the Week:

Michelle F had a complete Elm Street so we’ve yet to find a winner going to the half way stage – step up, Neil Templeton. We need a winner son!

Table News:

“But I’m only ever seen in the right place”:

Tony Bowley stays top for a fifth week, now with a huge 28 point lead over Jason M. Week 5 winner Neil T is up to third.
