Dear PASers,
Apologies.

I’m just out of the sick pit and it’s not just the horrible week of Arsenal that’s turned my stomach (I definitely have a proper non man-flu illiness as I didn’t even got to Citeh last night…!).
Please find a truncated update (further apologies to the heroes/villians of the week that are denied their spot in the round up light!)…

For the record then –

Week 10 winner:

Olly Osmond 35 (5)

Week 10 loser

Lisa Grey 7(0)

Correct Score of the Week

Crystal Palace 3 Watford 0 (Mark J Brown)

Bet of the Week

crashed again just when the first fruits were within reach, Leeds failed at Kettering!!!

Normal transmission resumed next week!

Cheers,
Pab

“ecstatic there it is”:

There it is indeed! Out first “double” winners of the season see Jo Lowe & Neil Birchall 37 (5) share the spoils to the tune of £10 each – no doubt Jo will be buying the Man City v Chelsea DVD and Neil won’t be buying that Sp*rs v Wigan one. Pies all round again then Neil??!

“and the eyes go teary, the mind grow weary”:

I’ve little cheer and nuffin’ to shout about this season (check the table – *groan*) so I’ll take any ray of sunshine even if it’s at the expense of a Sp*rs fan. Gareth Morgan 9(0) – ha!

Correct Score of the Week:

This season, I particularly hate doing this bit… 9 got Rochdale 3 Macc 0, 7 got the 3-0 at Villa Park, the 1-3 for Rangers and Man City (!), 6 got Walsall 1 Soton 3, Scunny 0, 5 got Celtic 3 Aberdeen 0 and 5 got Everton 2 Spurs 2. Neil B & Dan P got the 0-4 at the Boelyn, Mark McD got 5 points for the Bristol City – Ipswich stalemate and Francesca F rolled her dice and bagged Blackburn 0 Liverpool 0. This weeks best correct score goes to Dave Nicklin for his 9 pointer score of Dundee Utd 3 St Mirren 2

Bet of the Week:

Very very close again! Olly missed his 7 homes thanks to MK Dons having a ‘mare v Yeovil and his 3 draws thanks to WBA failing to hold out for 30 seconds after going 2-1 up at Derby in added-on time – grrrrrr! This means spot prize slot 23 will reward nada – so don’t end up there on the final table!

Table News:

“my presence speak volumes…”:

Oooh the nerves will kick in now… Neil Meredith has a 6 point lead over ever improving Jazz S in second (has he timed it right? Will he win his own trophy??!). Will O and Rich L are both in with a fighting chance too…

“I don’t understand it, on another planet?”:

Oooh no nerves will kick in now… Paul Jenner is now being 19 points adrift and looking very much like a wooden spoon winner. Just above him are Scott A, your truly and Wayne C in a battle royale not to get dragged down if Mr Jenner starts scoring big!

“and the sun bust through the clouds…”:

Highest climber this week is Jo Lowe up a whopping 19 places to 38th. Honourable mentions for Mark J B (+10), Neil B (+18), Lisa G (+10), Vim G (+11), Mr 2-0 (+12) and Mark McD (+13)

“shocked a small act could knock a giant lopsided”:

Falling furthest this week are Gareth Morgan & Julian Fernandez down 17 places to 32nd & 61st respectively – dishonourable mentions for Frankie F (-12), Catriona J (-11), Richard H (-12) and Mark Sh (-16)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Mark D-S-C is on the promos at 11th(-6), Shaun B is at 13th (+4), Olly O is at 17th (+2), Mark Se is on the BotW 23rd (non mover), Danny B is at 27th (-3), Simon L is at 33rd (+8), Vim G is on the BotW 42nd (+11), Mr 2-0 is at 44th (+12), Mark G is at 52nd (+8), Savan A is at 57th (-6), John McS is on the BotW 65th (non mover), Gary B is at 67th (-1) and Scott A is at 70th (-2)

PAS Cup 2010:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2010 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is Gareth Morgan.

And Another Thing:

The famous PAS Poll is coming your way – have a look, a little think and get involved!!

Cheers,
Pab

“Bravado”:

The man who loved a 0-0 last season but seems to have shunned them wholesale this season (wonder why that is??!) has concentrated in putting in proper scores and come up trumps! Jon Allin 31 (4) wins this week’s £20 – Green Army!

“B*stard child of guilt and shame”:

He’s had to watch Denmark AND Portugal qualify for the World Cup from Sweden’s group and now Anders Hoglund 9(0) has a low score to deal with. At least RVP is on fire for Arsenal though… Eh? what? Noooooooooooooo…

Correct Score of the Week:

How on earth… 5 got Brentford 2 Millwall 2 and 5 got Greece 0 Ukraine 0. Jon A & me got a lovely 9 pointer from Bristol Rovers 3 Carlisle 2, Rob H got 5 points from Northampton 0 Grimsby 0 and Francesca F somehow threw a couple of dice (no, really) to come up with Rochdale 2 Chesterfield 3! We have a new best correct score of the season cos this week’s best correct score goes to Savan Arora who seems to be collecting “bests” this season! Huddersfield 6 Wycombe 0 is the new front runner purely for the fact if you watched the game you’ll know it should have been 12!

Bet of the Week:

Oh man……

Table News:

“Some things will never be different”:

No change at the top save Neil Meredith now having a 4 point lead over Rich L – the chasing peloton is now headed up by Jon T… and ominously includes Jazz S!

“Are you hoping for a miracle?”:

No change at the bottom save Paul Jenner now being 2 points behind Wayne C in the wooden spoon avoidance race…

“Running on”:

Highest climbers this week are Mark De-Ste-Croix (again!) and Dan Pelgrom up a whopping 15 places to 7th & 42nd respectively. Honourable mentions for Jon A (+12), Louise B (+11), Pete B (+13) Saven A (+9) and me! (+9)

“Better luck next time”:

Falling furthest this week is Anders Hoglund down 13 places to 49th – dishonourable mentions for Jason M (-9), Catriona J (-9), Greg E (-11), Jamie S (-11) and Mark McD (-10)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes!

And Another Thing:

Think Thierry has a future with the GAA?

Cheers,
Pab

“Your sky all hung with jewels”:

He travels all round Europe supporting the mighty Reds and he’ll continue to do so in the Europa Cup this season (‘Ey! ‘Ey!). Another £20 then, for his second weekly win of the season, won’t go amiss for Neil Meredith 40(7)

“Up against your will”:

What’s worst? Getting ID’d in a Wetherspoon’s when you’re 24 years old or scoring 9(0) this week? Neil Osborne was nowhere near Preston for pre-gig drinks before the Enemy played on Saturday but Neil Birchall was….

Correct Score of the Week:

If only Tomas had stuck that chance away before Jody scored… 13 got Toon 3 Peterboro 1, 8 got the tutu at Oakwell and 5 (grrrrr!) got Wolves 1 Arsenal 4. Matt W & Ben McK got Blackburn 3 Pompey 1, Greg E got the only 0-0 available(in Edinburgh), Neil M got Hamilton 2 Motherwell 2, Mark De S C got off to a flyer with Bristol R 2 Southampton 3 and Mark McD got an equally good nine pointer in the South Wales derby. Every week I laugh at my mum when she sends her scores in but she has the last laugh this week – Patricia Fernandez gets this weeks best correct score and the new front runner for best correct score of the season with her Liverpool 2 Birmingham 2.

Bet of the Week:

Another near miss thanks to Celtic – Neil M is playing again to win cash for himself and BotW spot prize slot 23.

Table News:

“…a magic world”:

All change at the top! Rich L is knocked into second by Neil Meredith courtesy of 3 correct scores. Matt G continues the chase in third…

“Fate”:

All change at the bottom! Rich G is off the wooden spoon position, replaced by Paul Jenner who is propping up the rest courtesy of 2 correct scores away from Dave N.

“Through the thick and thin”:

Highest climber this week is Mark De-Ste-Croix up a whopping 22 places to 22nd. Honourable mentions for Ben McK (+17), Gareth M (+19), Greg E (+12) Ben H (+17), Patricia F (+19) and Olly O (+13)

“Too late to beg…”:

Falling furthest this week is Julian Fernandez down 18 places to 45th – dishonourable mentions for Mark F (-15), Neil O (-17), Savan A (-13), Stephen P (-12) and Martin S (-12)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes!

PAS Cup 2010:

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2010 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is Neil Osborne.

And Another Thing:

When spreads go bad you can always rely on the little Russian to come up with a 66th minute goal at a cost of 22 – yay!

Cheers,
Pab

“…making plenty cash”:

He seems to mirror the form of his beloved Forest and at the moment Tony Bowley 33(6) is in a rich vein of it! Congrats Mr B, at least £20 on its way to you to spend on a corner flag to taunt Derby fans with then…

“…a dose of thrush you got while you were licking railings”:

For most of us another shocking week – especially shocking for Dan Pelgrom & Rich Graeme 9(0)

Correct Score of the Week:

Damn that lino at OT… 23 got Celtic 3 Kilmarnock 0, Pete B / Gareth M / Andy C got Sunderland 2 West Ham 2, Vim G and Mark McD can thank Didier for Chelski’s 0-4, Danny B and Ben McK got the two-two at the Orient and Shaun B & Richard H got St Johnstone 3 Falkirk 1. Oh, and Dave N selected Stoke 2 Wolves 2. However, this week’s best correct score goes to Andy Chesworth for his wise and very obvious Arsenal 3 Sp*rs 0!

Bet of the Week:

Another wipe out and Paddy Power mocks our pathetic efforts thus far… next up is Tony B playing to win cash for himself and BotW spot prize slot 65.

Table News:

“Dreaming of anything…”:

In a superb display of front running, Rich Lee stays top for the 6 consecutive week and now has 6 point gap to Andy C who in turn is 3 points ahead of Stephen S…

“In the mud, on your knees…”:

The battle of the bottom continues “toing” and “froing” with Rich Graeme back down to 71st and 4 points adrift of Dave N…

“…hope that they will see”:

Highest climber this week is (quelle surprise!) Tony Bowley up a whopping 23 places to 11th. Honourable mentions for Andy C (+13), Will O (+19), Dave C (+17) Danny A (+14) and Pete B (+13)

“…hide your shame from all those prying eyes”:

Falling furthest this week is Mark De-Ste-Croix down 16 places to 44th – dishonourable mentions for Matt W (-12), Michelle F (-15), Julian F (-14), Jamie S (-13) and Dan P (-15)
