Merry Christmas!:

Possibly one of the lowest scoring weekly winners, part due to a few postponed/abandoned games, the fact that the SFA called off the Gretna – Rangers game (why??? surely that’s unfair on Gretna!) and it was another week of bizarre scores. All good though for Barrie Riding 30 (3) who managed to secure 20 of his points in his 3 correct scores! Well done Barrie, a nice end to your debut season, I’m sure Pammy will have a suggestion on where your £20 should be spent…

Bah Humbug!:

She always asks for mention in the round up, so here goes (again)… Lisa Grey 9 (0) two howlers on the bounce! I can hear Mr G sniggering from here… Oh, and Donna E 9 (0) you’re no better either – up the Villa indeed…

Correct Score of the Week:

Five (gold rings) got Everton 3-0, a box of eggs got Charlton, Anne C, Danielle F and Barrie R somehow knew Derby would score at Old Trafford but still let in four, Gareth M & Paul J got the 2-2 at Scunny (which proved a coupon buster – see below) and Will O, Steve B and myself got Southampton 4 Hull 0. No unique best score which means Mark Grey carries off a tenner for his season best prediction of Newcastle 1 Pompey 4.

Bet of the Week:

It was all going to plan as the Jamie S selections were rolling in, so wasn’t it ironic (correct me if I’m doing an Alanis here!) that our QPR supporting tipster saw his team scupper a big payout by getting a draw at Scunthorpe to deny us the last leg home win we needed. Booo! That means if you followed every tip this PAS season you would have finished £50 down. Lucky then that no one pays a blind bit of notice to this section except, um, me…

PAS Poll:

Had a few back already (cheers!) and entertaining reading they make too – keep ’em coming (it’s attached for your convenience cos I’m nice like that)

Cheers,
Pab

Remember, I’m hungover basking in the glory of winning a pound in the pub quiz (they had Belle & Sebastian in the music round!)

He’s Won Again Hasn’t He:

25 points clear with one week to go – do you want the money now Jazz? He Might Get Out Of This Y’know At least the basement battle is exciting – Neil B could still yet make the great escape…3 points, that’s all it is. 3 points…

Does Anybody Read…:

Highest climber this week is Olly Osmond up a Pab-wishes-everyone-would-send-their-scores-in-using-Olly’s-format-cos-it’s-so-much-easier jump of 12 places – fellow climbers are Mark S (+8), Will O (+11), Neil M (+6), Greg E (+10) and John W (+7)

Month Off Work:

Scotland sorted out the winner this week – Will O must have thought he’d won it when Aberdeen nailed Hibs, but he hadn’t factored in that Jamie Sellers 36 (6) had already bagged Motherwell’s 3-0 win. Well done Jamie, the penultimate £20 heading your way – gonna spend it on a ticket for Chelsea away in the Cup?

Business As Usual:

She always asks for mention in the round up, so here goes… Lisa Grey 11 (0) you are sooooo behind in the bragging rights round your house!

Correct Score of the Week:

A magnificent 7 got Motherwell, a surprising 6 got Blackburn, Dave McS & Julian F got Hearts draw with Celtic, Will O & Mark McD got Aberdeen, Mark G got Hull 2 Cardiff 2 (b*st*rd last minute goals – I hate them!) and Jon T got Plymouth’s 3-0 v Scunny. This week’s props though go to Mark Grey for his Liverpool 4 Bolton 0. Just when we thought the Trotters had turned the corner…

Bet of the Week:

Pah! Only Jamie S can save us now from being £50 down for the season…

Cheers,
Pab

I’ll keep it short n sweet as I’m broken after my trip to Seville via Madrid and several Casa de cerveza’s…

Winner :

Mark Grey 39 (5)

Loser :

Greg Edwards 11 (0)

Best Correct Score :

Bolton 1 Man Utd 0 (Mark Grey – he got Boro – Villa too!) Barrie R chipped in with Liverpool’s win at the Toon – 16 of you got Celtic and 18 got Rangers – it’s not fair…

Bet of the Week :

Man Yoo scuppered that one, so we’re £40 down. Betting expert Mark G could save the day at the 11th hour…

Table:

Jazz Sian has a 19 point lead and looks like he’ll win another title from Danny A – at the bottom Neil Birchall is making a late fightback and is only 5 points away for Danielle F.

Cheers,
Pab

Special One :

It’s looks like a formality but anything can happen (it won’t) in the beautiful game – Jazz Sian is now 20pts clear of Danny A in 2nd with 3 weeks to go.

Second Choice Steve :

It’s looks like a formality but anything can happen (it won’t) in the beautiful game – Neil Birchall is now 11pts away from Ben A in 65th with 3 weeks to go.

Love it or hate it, finishing here on Week 13 will bring a you a big jar of Guinness Marmite – the Mark Grey his lawyer shaped knife at the ready and toast in the toaster…

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Will O is (-2) to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Cheers,
Pab

Chicken Stevens :

He was run to the wire but Anthony Yearwood 45 (6) saw off the challenge of Scott A, Jon T, Janine R and Dave C to win this weeks £20. What can I say? First time for aaaaaages that Sp*rs fan has celebrated winning something – spend your sheckels wisely m’boy!

Shaky :

All whole cluster of people limped in 16 (0/1) – you know who you are, you should be ashamed.

Correct Score of the Week:

15 (eek!) got Czech – Slovakia (can you see what I did there?), 19 (eeeekerer!) got Das Germans systematic 4-0 break-up of a small weaker nation, 6 (amazingly!) got Norn Iron’s thoroughly thrilling 2-1 win v Danmark and Martin S & Jon T got Greece 5 Malta 0. This week’s accolade though goes to ever absurd Scott Aslett for his Latvia 4 Liechtenstein 1 (more for the fact that the Liechs actually scored than anything else…)

Bet of the Week :

as dire as Frank & Stevie running around aimlessly on a pitch that Hackney Marshes would have been ashamed of – yep, we lost again and now down to the tune of 35 sheets – Anthony Y, your fellow PASers need you!

Cheers,
Pab
