Wizzard:

A very good week to get a good score and even better to actually win it! Jon Allin 42 (5) will happily receive his £20 just in time for his work Secret Santa or will it be for will he spend on the Plymouth Ho? (and does that become Ho Ho Ho at Christmas?)

Bad Santa:

I always offer to give an instant form guide when the missus does her scores on Saturday morning but I get batted back everytime – Michelle Fernandez 9 (0) is that stubborn she’ll continue with her erroneous ways!

Correct Score of the Week:

Fifteen got the eight points at Stoke, thirteen got another eight points at Forest, Martin S got Celtic 1 Hearts 1, Anthony Y & Bev M got the excellent Hull result, Dave N & Louise B got the nine points at Burnley, yours truly/Stephen S/Mark McD got the really obvious 0-0 at Sheff Wed, Mark J B & Louise B got the “Desmond” at Peterborough and Andrew D got the last gasp 2-2 at Charlton – this week’s best correct score though, goes to li’l Frankie Fernandez who nearly claimed back her correct score of the season with Dundee U 2 Rangers 2

Bet of the Week:

We’re now £13.10 down – we had a winner!!! Thanks to Tricky Hirst’s Championship special we clawed back £32.50 – nice one Ricardo. Jonny A, can you get us back in he black?!

Table News:

Sheila Take A Bow:

Richard Hirst keeps his 17 point lead at the top and only needs 20 points to secure the title (surely) Jason M has been reeled in by Jamie S and Jon A to set up an exciting (for them anyway) finish!

I Know It’s Over:

Matt Davies is off the bottom! He’s now 5 points clear of Danielle Fleming who sinks right down at the wrong time of the season!

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out:

The Boy With A Thorn In His Side:

Falling furthest this week is Wayne Connolly down 16 places to 35th, not that he’ll care cos he’s in Japan with the Red Devils – dishonourable mentions for Rich L (-13), Gareth M (-12) and Michelle F(-13)

Harry Boo!:

I think we’ve got our League Champion now…Richard Hirst 34 (4) has landed his second weekly prize of the campaign and created a nice little buffer for himself at the top of the table – surely only a collapse akin to Kelvin Koogan’s Toon can stop him now? Where’s Jazz when you need him eh?!

Eboue!:

I’ll admit it was another shocking week of random scores but to get under 10 points???! Neil Birchall 7 (0) we salute you!

Correct Score of the Week:

Seven got Inverness 1 Dundee U 3, five got Blackburn 1 Liverpool 3, four got Stockport 1 Peterborough 3, Scott A/Anthony L/Richard H got Bristol City 0 Swansea City 0, Michael G/Stephen S/Francesca F got Coventry 2 Nottm Forest 2, Michael G/Bev M/Ben H got Sheff U 2 Burnley, JohnMcS/Danny A got Birmingham 3 Watford 2 and Glyn W got Newcastle 2 Stoke 2. But, this week’s best correct score and now best of the season goes to Matt Worsfold for his thrilling nine pointer, Everton 2 Aston Villa 3. Like taking sweets of a baby eh Matt? Little Frankie is still crying about losing her title!

Bet of the Week:

We’re now £45.60 down – Louise B’s NW flavoured 5 timer went the way of all but one before – come on Tricky! We need a winner!

Other Stuff:

Remember Mr 2-0 winning £10 the other week? Well Neil m and myself were walking in the Northern Quarter (Neil calls it the “metal shuttered ghetto”, I call it edgy, post modern cool and different)when two discerning gentlemen of the street approached asked, in between swigs of sherry, for 50p. Safe to say Bargain Booze got a £10 hammering as they danced off down the street…bless!

And Another Thing:

The annual PAS Poll is here – get involved! Even if you fill in and send back one of the categories your efforts are noted and appreciated – go on, it’s Christmas!

RVP:

There’ll be dancing in the streets of Stalybridge for a second week running as Louise Briggs 48(7) is this week’s winner of the £20 prize. Well done Louise, should make up for the derby defeat eh?!

RIP:

There’ll be dancing in the house of Grey for a second week too as Week 8 winner Lisa will no doubt be doing the Jig of Schadenfreude at the news of Mark Grey 11(0) hitting rock bottom this week. Only adds to the derby defeat eh Marky?!

Correct Score of the Week:

Seventeen(!!) got Reading 3 Coventry 1, eleven got Millwall 3 Aldershot 0, nine got Charlton 0 Southampton 0 (how??!), eight got Middlesbro 0 Newcastle 0, six got Swansea 2 Cardiff 2 and a famous five got Chelsea 1 Arsenal 2.

This week’s best correct score goes to Dave McSherry for his eight pointer Villa 0 Fulham 0

Bet of the Week:

We’re now £40.60 down – Danny A’s Scottish venture crashed & burned at the first hurdle at Tynecastle. We’re officially in trouble (well, if you’ve been following ti like me!) with 3 weeks to go, so we need Louise B to make amends for her other half’s failings…

Table News:

Swings:

Proper bun fight at the top now as Jason M’s seemingly unassailable lead has been sailed in by Richard Hirst, who now tops the pile by 1 correct score. Jon A and Jamie S are doing their level best to hang on to the Top Twos coat tails…

Slide:

Matt Davies remains bottom eight points behind Danielle F and 11 from Mark McD – the rubbish monkeys!

A: Finish 11th and you’ll receive a bag of promos generously sent into PAS Towers from record execs desperately trying to get in on the action… if you hover your cursor over the “promos” box on the table you’ll see a pop-up box listing the aural delights you may very well win!

Neil Birchall needs a couple of 0-0 stalemates in Monday’s games to stop Louise Briggs winning the Week 10 £20…

Cheers,
Pab

Paradise:

How do you manage to get over 30 points on such a dire week of predicting? Ask Danny Ashworth 31 (6) and spare a little thought for Lisa G who only missed on a second consecutive payout virtue of one less correct score. Well done Danny boy, £20 to savour down the local takeouts of Stalyvegas no doubt!

Oblivious:

How do you manage to get under 10 points on such a dire week of predicting? Ask Dave Crisp 9(0) who crashed and burned a bit like his beloved Gooners – you need backbone son, a backbone! Ask Arsene, he’ll tell ya – what? Oh yeah, sorry, my mistake, he’s as deluded as your scores mate!

Correct Score of the Week:

A great eight got the Irish team’s 1-3 at St Mirren, Anthony L / Glyn W / Danny A got Hull’s 2-2 at Pompey, Michael G (hooray!) & Mark S got West Ham’s 0-1 at SundIreland and Will O was the only player to pick up 8 points off a 0-0 with his Burnley-Doncaster stalemate. This week’s best correct score, however, goes to the luvverly Danielle Fleming for her complete guess at Watford 3 QPR 0. Well done Dando!

Bet of the Week:

We’re now £35.60 down – Lisa G’s sure thing turned out only half sure and done a runner with our fiver – over to you Danny, I know you’ve been champing at the bit and had a couple of “only one team let me down for £300” lately – so here’s your stage!

Table News:

Deep & Wide & Tall:

Jason Morris still heads up the table with an apparent unassailable lead of 15 points. Richard H has a 9 point lead over Jamie S in third

Down The Dip:

Matt Davies has clawed back 7 points to catch up with Neil B and in turn they trail Anthony Y by 7 points

Still On Fire:

Highest climber this week is Anthony Latter up 14 points to 27th. Honourable mentions for Danny A (+8), Dennis McD (+8), Glyn W (+8) and Dan C (+7)

The Crying Scene:

Falling furthest this week is Andrew Darbyshire down 15 points to 36th – dishonourable mentions for Dan R (-14), Matt G (-10), El Presidente (-10), Jon T (-8) and Dave C (-8)

Other Stuff:

”You will see that despite the deadline passing for the Swansea/Brum match I have included my bona-fide prediction for that match. Having had such a good week last week I needed to maintain the big Mo and what better way to do it than with a feisty Friday evening championship match. Or so I thought… Slight taking of eye off the ball combined with child minding duties and disaster strikes. If any good comes out of my oversight/error it is that others can learn from such folly. Please feel free to use this salutary lesson for me as proof that PAS requires the dedication and respect it cries out for. Yours gutted.” Mark Seels on nailing the 2-3 at Swansea and then having that “oh no!” moment…

And Another Thing:

“I hope you don’t mind but I manually changed the document to reflect the correct name of The Celtic Football Club as I’m sure you’re aware that Glasgow Celtic doesn’t exist. I expect such appalling syntax errors never to happen again. I don’t pay good money into this tournament to have the name of my team made up! London Arsenal or Liverpool Everton anyone?!?” Ciaran McGoldrick gives us a Gaelic history lesson and some natty suggestions… we stand o’corrected!

OMG what a shocker of a week eh?! And that’s just Arsenal…

With one game to go, any result bar 2-1 to Wigan or 0-1 Everton means that Danny Ashworth will win – 2-1 will give Lisa Grey her 2nd successive win (any Wigan win and Lisa will miss out courtesy of the “most correct scores” rule) and 0-1 will see Anthony Latter share the spoils with Danny…

If you’re on over 20 you’re either a tactical genuis, lucky or a discile of Mr 2-0…

Full SP tomorrow night

Cheers,
Pab
