7-0:

We love it here when a debutant wins some money (mostly cos it’s a great marketing exercise… Guess what? I won some money putting down some footie scores! You should sign up for next season…), so well done to PAS virgin Tony Smith 35 (5) who walks away with £20 just edging out Shaun B.

0-0 again:

The nightmare scores continue – this week in the sub 10 points gang, are Rich Lee / David Goggin 7 (0)

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse, very sparse pickings… Eight got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 at Hibs (it wasn’t was it), 6 got M K Dons 2 Leicester 2 and 4 got THE EVEN MORE OBVIOUS 0-0 at the Emirates (grrrrrr!). No best correct score this week, but my little girl and Matt Gingell rustled up Bristol City 0 Blackpool 0 for a most welcome 8 points…

Bet of the Week:

John McSherry stepped up with a seemingly nailed on accumulator and got batted away early doors to leave us £15 in the hole…Tony S, you’re up next!

Table News:

Tip top:

Jamie Tofeili opens up a 9 point lead at the top from the tightly packed peloton below

Illin’:

Will Oppong remains bottom now only (ONLY!) 12 points from David G

Getting better:

Highest climber this week is Shaun Backhouse up 24 places to 10th. Honourable mentions for Tony S (+16), Francesca F (+16) and Mark Se (+14)

Coming down:

Falling furthest this week is Mark J Brown down 24 places to 31st – dishonourable mentions for Lisa G (-12), Jon A (-12), Danny A (-16) and Rich L (-10)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! John McS is on the promos at 11th(+4), Dan P is at 13th (-3), and Greg E is on 33rd (-9)

Other Stuff:

The 0-0 abuse continues unabated (we had to disqualify one player this week!) and there is an emergency board meeting tonight to discuss the best way to combat the problem…

And Another Thing:

It’s PAS Cup week this week as well as a normal league week – for players in both competitions, your scores will count for both (minus any bonus “joker” points for the League)

Cheers,
Pab

Weyhay!:

He’s a Croydon Sunday league legend and now he has his name in the hallowed hall of fame of PAS weekly winners – John McSherry 29 (4) topped one of the worst collective scoring weeks in living memory (you’re all getting suckered into the zero – zeros aren’t you? hmmm? tut tut!). Well done Johnny boy, now make sure you buy your mum some flowers with your winnings…

Weymouth:

OMG! I thought last week was bad but we officially have the joint worst weekly score ever in 20 years – hang your head in shame just like Dave C – Will Oppong 4(0)

Correct Score of the Week:

2-2 madness this week… Fourteen got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 at Boro, 15 got Rangers 3-1 and six got Swansea’s 5 pointer. Mark Sh & John McS got Derby’s derby victory at the City Ground, Lisa G got Stoke 2 Pompey 2, Jamies’ S & T and Frankie F struck 8 points with Barnsley 0 Charlton 0, Olly O got 5 points from Plymouth 2 Sheff U 2, Sam A got a right result for Orient at Hartlepool, Gareth M got Aberdeen 2 Dundee U 2 and John McS / Mark Sh / Olly O got Wolves 2 Cardiff 2. However, best correct score of the week goes to Mark Seels for his Motherwell 1 Celtic 1.

Bet of the Week:

It was split between Jamie T and Jon A and both came up with a loser – ho hum. We’re now £10 down and looking to John McSherry to dig deep into his pocket of predictions and pull out a plum.

Table News:

Top:

Jason Morris swaps places at the summit with Sean P to lead a very tight table by 2 points

Bottom:

Will Oppong remains bottom a w(h)opping (geddit?!) 16 points adrift already from Matt G

Up up up!:

Highest climber this week is John McSherry up 19 places to 15th. Honourable mentions for Olly O (+11), Mark J B (+12), Gareth M (+15) and Mark Se (+15)

Down down:

Falling furthest this week are Jazz Sian / Tony Bowley both down 13 places to 30th 7 36th respectively – dishonourable mentions for Clare T (-12), Matt D (-12) and Matt W (-11)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you WILL win these prizes! Paul H is on the promos at 11th(+4), Neil T is at 13th (-7), and Nick H is on 33rd (+8)

Other Stuff:

Shaw Taylor always asked us to “keep ’em peeled” and we’ve never forgotten that here at PAS Towers. Nil-nil abusers! You’re being monitored! Beware – if it continues, expect a tap on the shoulder and a polite “f*ck off” very soon…

And Another Thing:

I’m in the proverbial hole on the spreads thanks to Arsenal and Boro being completely poo this season – can anyone help out with a Plan B??! Pleeeeese! I might have to sell my baby…

Cheers,
Pab

Tony Adams Ooh Ooh!:

The shocking weather contributed to some shocking scores due to the postponements but somehow Jamie Tofeili & Jon Allin 30 (3) managed to buck the trend and get half decent scores! A shared weekly prize then for two players who couldn’t be much further away from each other (Toon & The Ho) – I’m definitely not handing over the cash in person.

Big Phil:

OMG! I thought last week was bad but I think we officially have the worst weekly score ever in 20 years – hang your head in shame just like Eboue – Dave Crisp 4(0)

Correct Score of the Week:

How many 0-0s??! It’s getting to be a joke!

Ten got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 at Wigan, Louise B/Julian F/Gareth M got the “desmond” at the City Ground, young Frankie F struck again with Coventry 2 Wolves 1, Gareth M struck again with Swansea 3 Ipswich 0 – Sam A got 8 points from Reading 0 PNE 0, Jon A got eight at Tranmere and Jamie T got his eight at Spurs (yuck!). However, best correct score of the week and new correct score of the season is now in the hands of Jon Allin for his WBA 2 Newcastle Utd 3.

Bet of the Week:

As expected we kick off the season £5 down as Sean P’s little acca fell away – we look to a double pronged attack from Jon A and Jamie T to get us in the black at this early stage.

Other Stuff:

It’s PAS Cup week next week so only those who progressed from round one need to fill in and send back a scoresheet – full draw and scoresheet to follow.

And Another Thing:

let’s get all the money in eh?!

Cheers,
Pab

In Like Flynn:

He’s part of that sinister syndicate that devolved last season to come and take our money in a five pronged attack (they did!). Sean Peers 46 (8) gets the 20 year anniversary season off to a flyer and takes the first £20 out of our collective pocket – who will stop this relentless march? Jazz? Come back mate, all is forgiven…

Doing The Dino:

He’s a baby! He’s a baby! Actually he isn’t, he just works with them… Will Oppong 5(0) managed to act like his clientele and record one of the lowest scores ever to get the 20 year season off to non-flyer!

Correct Score of the Week:

How many 0-0s??! A splendid week for good guesses – Eleven got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 at Boro, five got the 3-1 at Molineux, 4 got the 2-2 at Hull (impressive bridge that Humber!), Jason M/Olly O/Matt W got poor Stoke’s 1-0 win over rich Citeh, Julian F & Jon A got Wigan’s charmed 0-0 at Villa, Sean P & Jason M (see! They’re working together I tell you!!) got QPR 0 Reading 0, Jon T got the 8 points at PNE, Clare T got 8 points from Ipswich and Jamie S got 8 points from the drivel served up at Ashburton Grove. Oh, and Olly O got Fulham 3 Pompey 1. However, best correct score of the week goes to my clever little girl! Francesca Fernandez with Inverness 0 Celtic 0 (Will, she’s 6 months old and managed to get more points in one game that all your 30!)

Bet of the Week:

Well we didn’t lose… Probably cos there was no bet – yeah, that’ll be it… First up will be Sean P – furnish us with some winnings please Sean!

Table News:

See Week 1 table

Other Stuff:

If you haven’t paid up yet – please do! It’s getting boring…

And Another Thing:

The annual PAS Poll is now live on the webpage – have a peek yourself and spread the news!

Cheers,
Pab

Dear all,

Week 1 result and table will be with you tomorrow – promise!

Please find attached Week 2 scoresheet – back to me by Saturday “Blondie” time (that’s 11.59 kids…)

I’m in Edinburgh on Friday so the last “reminder” will go out tomorrow night – I’ll be back to normal service in time for PAS Cup 2nd round – fear not, I know how you love your inbox being filled with hassling emails…

Couple of things to note:

• please try and send your scores on a Word doc where possible – it’s a right pain in any other format!
• there are a few outstanding payments as usual – I’ll need the actual payment or definite confirmation you are actually playing by next Monday otherwise I’ll have to drop you from the game (it’s holding up the prize money slots for one thing…)

Thanks for your patience – did you all get the PAS Poll email? I think it got through!

Cheers,
Pab
