L13 Spring 2008 : Week 3 – BotW

Written by

Currently £20 to the good, Week 2 winner Jon T looks to add on, he’s even over ruling his heart!

Here we go… ARSENAL, MAN UTD, WEST BROM, CELTIC, RANGERS, &mpa; EAST FIFE – Bet365 gives odds of about 6/1

Keegan has to win sooner or later but although I don’t like betting against the Toon, I just can’t see anything else but a Man U win by at least 2 goals – Good Luck!

Result: LOSE! +£15

Spring Cup 2008 : Round 2 Results

Written by

Congrats to the winners, now into the QF’s and guaranteed money!

You have to feel for Anders H who went out with the 3rd highest score and marvel at Mark McD who went through with the 4th worst score…

Back to the League next week and from now on EVERYONE will send in a scoresheet EVERY week.

Cheers,

Pab.

L13 Spring 2008 : Week 2 Roundup

Written by

“…best team in the land and all the world”:
It went to the wire but Jon Tofeili 41 (7) will be the only person smiling on Tyneside this week as he just shaded Mark J B by a point. Well done JT, I promise your £20 winnings won’t be as late as your payment ; )
Joey:
More misery in Geordieland as Ben McKeown 17 (1) notched up another black n white striped nightmare…
Correct Score of the Week:
Nine of you got Spurs’ canter at Derby, Anthony Y/Stephen P/Mark G got the stalemate at Sheff Utd and Jon A & Danny A earnt 9 points each with QPR’s 2-3 win at St Mary’s. However, correct score of the week goes to Julian F for his “yep, with hindsight it was sooooo obvious” Chelsea 0 Liverpool 0.
Bet of the Week:
Mark F was first up and eventually sent his Forest/Egypt/Arsenal treble through (to the wrong e-dress!!!) so we’ll, ahem, scrap my selections and say we’re £20 to the good, which is typical as no one got a chance to lump on…
Table News:
You’ll see from the table you can now see if you went up or down each week and it saves me typing out an elaborate, witty, well thought out email every week that no one reads (lucky you eh?!)… Our man in Dubai is top and our man from Wigan is bottom…

Cheers,
Pab.

L13 Spring 2008 : Week 1 Roundup

“…give him the ball, and he will score!”:
In a truly horrendous week getting 20 or over was some achievement (I mean, even Mr. 2-0 managed it… Yeah, that bad) so lets doff our caps to Mark Fawke 41 (6) who managed to guess his way to the first £20 of the new season. Well done Drazic, £20 towards a League Cup Final ticket? Ooops, sorry, my mistake – you haven’t even been to White Hart Lane let alone Wemberlee…
Rugby:
Organising this can sometimes be a chore especially when you don’t win every week or get 10 (0) – fortunately my misery wasn’t fully compounded as Neil Templeton 9 (0)managed to predict even worserer (yessssss, I know that’s not a word but it sounds better doesn’t it – it’ll make him feel really bad ha ha ha…)
Correct Score of the Week:
Half a dozen of you got the City’s first home defeat of the season, a magnifique seven got the Scousers annoying 3-0 win, Neil M & Mark McD got Colchester 2 Sheff U 2 and, you can see how he won now, Mark Fawke got QPR 3-0 v Bristol City and Watford’s 3-0 against Wolves – who cares what’s the best, it’s not gonna last is it…
Bet of the Week:
Mr Fawke is first up with his selections – we’ll make it a bit easier(realistic?) this season – give us a treble to bet a fiver on Mark!
FYI:
You’ll see from the table you’ll need to finish in the Top 16 to qualify for Euro 08 – it’ll be a fiver in (there’s some prize money already there!) and you’ll be “allocated“ a team each that may earn you more points – all fun, and even the “outsiders” can get a piece of the action for a mere tenner…

Cheers,
Pab.

Congrats to those who progressed to Round Two on Feb 16/17 – As predicted I crashed and burnt at the first hurdle for the 57th year in a row – Woe is me… :-(

Spring Cup 2008 : Just to clarify…

Written by

If you are in the Cup (you can tell by the draw if you are – i.e. if your name is in the draw that means you are playing!) you are also in the league (PASL13S08) which starts for 13 weeks on w/e Feb 2nd – total cost of entry £20

If you are NOT in the Cup (you can tell by the draw if you are – i.e. if your name is NOT in the draw that means you are NOT playing!) you are ONLY in the league (PASL13S08) which starts for 13 weeks on w/e Feb 2nd – total cost of entry £25

So, to sum up, the CUP scoresheet being sent on Tuesday night should be filled in and sent back by the deadline by players in the CUP ONLY!!!

End of lesson. Goodnight. Have a nice weekend before the madness starts next week, an enjoyable madness I think you’ll agree…

Cheers,
Pab.

PS – poll is being put together this weekend – promise!

L13 Winter 2007 : Week 13 Table Update. It’s All Over!

Written by

Drum roll please….

Partridge In A Pear Tree:
You really have to doff your cap to Mr Jazz Sian as he IS the model of PAS consistency. Another title (fourth highest total score to boot!) and more importantly another £200 (you only need a tenner to break the magical £1k barrier – which is just mental!) spirited away courtesy of a 19 point lead at the top. Well done Jazz, I would ban you but it wouldn’t be the same without you mate!
Danny B couldn’t quite take advantage of Jazz’s worst week but was a comfortable runner-up (£150) spend it on your new house Dan!, Tony B made a fine debut in 3rd (£100) just edging out one of our loyalist mainstays Neil T in 4th (£90), Mark G had a poor week but only dropped a couple of places to 5th (£75) and picked up another tenner for “Best Correct Score of the Season”. Mark J B just about held on to 6th (£65) – lets hope he still plays when he moves to Dubai in January! My ol’ Palace mucker Dan R finished 7th (£50) and also takes “Top Grunwald Player”, which will mean nothing to most of you but a lot to him, Mark McD was just below him in 8th (£45), picked up a bonus fiver for “Highest Weekly Score” and will be pleased he’s covered his lunatic “Spurs above Arsenal” bet now (ha ha ha!), and finally we couldn’t split Jamie S & Anthony Y in 9th & 10th so we split the winnings into £37.50 each
The Grinch:
He decided to leave it to Mr 2-0 to get him out of the wooden spoon position and it nearly worked! Alas, Neil Birchall was 4 points short and now goes into the hall of infamy that no one ever remembers. The special memento is being carved and inscribed as we speak Neil, don’t use it to eat your famous pies…I would ban you but it wouldn’t be the same without you mate!
Light up, light up:
Highest climber this week is Paul Jenner up a I-was-way-behind-my-mate-but-I-mashed-his-missus jump of 10 places – fellow climbers are Wayne C (+8), Jon A (+9), Barrie R (+9), Olly O (+7) and Matt G (+9)
Pine Needles :
Falling furthest this week is Donna Edmead down a whats-happened-to-my-football-knowledge? is-it-cos-I’ve-had-a-baby-and-can’t-study-the-form-for-all-the-sleepless-nights-and-nappy-changing? drop of 11 places – fellow fallers are Mark S (-8), Nick H (-6), Dave C (-5), Lisa G (-9) and Danny B (-8)
Marmite :
Love it or hate it, he finished here after being in the money positions for most of the season but will receive a big jar of Guinness Marmite instead (it’s cruel game eh?!) – Matt Davies, get your knife at the ready and toast in the toaster… let’s hope Citeh don’t go the same way!
Spotters :
Seasonal joy for the following – 14th – Martin Stafford (£25 – at least you’ve got some money to return to after Vegas!), 17th – Anders Hoglund (£25 – will that make you rich in Sweden?), 23rd – Mark Seels (£25), 33rd – Olly Osmond (£20), 39th – Phil Cummins (£20), 46th – Craig Porter-Garthford (£20 – the first man to submit one set of scores all season and still win money!), 58th – Jon Tofeili (£20 – stay away from the bandits!) and 64th – Ben Alder (£15 – another Mr 2-0 disciple)
Cup 2007 :
This week, Richard Lee (-4) filled the last position to qualify for Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup! (info to follow – don’t panic people!)

Thanks for taking part it’s been a pleasure and special thanks to Dave N for providing the elastic trickery and matrix type things that save more hours than you’d care to believe. Top 32 I’ll be in touch, prize winners – your money should be with you before Chrimbo and the rest of you, if you don’t make L13S08 I’ll be in touch for Euro 2008 and L13W08.

Cheers & Merry Christmas!
Pab
