L13 Spring 2006 : Week 3 – BotW
Steve T or Matt W haven’t come back with a Bet Of The Week, so we’ll go with Mr 2-0 who reckons the Arse will beat Bolton by said score @ odds of around 11/2
Have a good weekend!,

Thought of the Week : Wanna be the first recipient of the PAS Trophy? It’s nice, sliver and not unlike a FA Cup moneybox – win this season’s title and it’s yours until the next champion comes along! Upon receipt you are obliged to send over a photo with the Cup so we can start building our Hall of Fame. Yours truly will be the first featured on said site soon – I won a medal for winning the Euro 92 title…
Cheers,
Pab
Hola!
I'll be sending my scores round at about 5.30pm… snowed under here!
See below on how to present your “bet of the week&8221; – whether or not it comes in is your five pound dilemma – good luck!
Over to Dave N….
I've attached my predictions for this week, and here goes my attempt at bringing Ladbrokes to their knees:
- Kop out bet
If anyone doesn't trust my judgement (who'd blame 'em) then my suggestion is to stick 3 lucky dips on the Euro lottery tonight.
I'll expect a significant kickback if anyone wins the jackpot tho. :-)
Odds that follow are from ladbrokes.com….
- 6 Selection/Accumulator @ £5
OK, if you're still reading then you're probably Jon Tofeili and you'll bet on cockroach racing so you'll have no problem chucking a fiver on these dodgy results:
- Birmingham vs Arsenal
- Selection: Arsenal@10/11
- Manchester Utd vs Fulham
- Selection: Manchester Utd@1/4
- Leicester vs Wolves
- Selection: Wolves@5/4
- Leeds vs QPR
- Selection: Leeds@4/7
- Crewe vs Reading
- Selection: Reading@4/9
- Newcastle vs Portsmouth
- Selection: Newcastle@8/11
Accumulator Potential Return: £105.26
- 7 Selection/Accumulator @ £5
If that wasn't enough, I thought it only fair to involve the Mackems in this for a laugh, so take the above plus this:
- West Ham vs Sunderland
- Selection: West Ham@1/2
Accumulator Potential Return: £157.88
- 7 Selection/sixfold @ £3.50
Not as good a return, but if you stick a sixfold from all 7 games from bet (3) above:
Sixfolds from 7 = Potential Return: £68.56
Before anyone asks, yes I am indecisive, yes I do analyse this $hit far too much, and no I'd never be happy with any of the above bets.
My fiver is on bet (2), plus the cheeky lucky dips on the lottery, just can't help myself.
Have a good weekend, Dave

Thought of the Week : Don’t try and move house and do your scores – it doesn’t work…
Hola!
A couple of people have dropped out so a couple of people who finished just outside the Top 32 have been invited to join us…
Start those cheques/transfers coming in – we kick off PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2006 on w/e 28th/29th January and end thirteen weeks later on w/e April 22nd/23rd 2006.
Get that £22.50 rolling in please (cheques made payable to me!)
The 1st week of the PAS League is also the 2nd leg of the 3rd round of the Cup!
Cheers,
Pab
PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2006 – We begin with Week 1 on the weekend of January 28/29. This will also double up as the 3rd round 2nd leg.
The scoresheet will appear on the webpage early next week – in the meantime sit back, relax, start studying the form and look forward to the results of our Christmas “Year End” survey for all things music & football…
Cheers,
Pab
Congratulations! You made it through and now will be involved in the Cup competition that runs alongside the next Lucky 13 campaign. Also, you’re guaranteed entry into the World Cup special in June – cool eh?!
First off – IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO TAKE PART NEXT YEAR PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!!!
The cost will go up slightly to £22.50 (to pay for the Cup comp) and I know you’re all good for the money so as long as you get the money in by the end of Jan (after the next payday, that’s cool)
The 1st scoresheet you will receive will be for the 1st round of the Cup on weekend 6/7 Jan – if you haven’t got thru to this stage before, basically what happens is you get drawn against one another and are playing against each other – highest scorer goes thru to the next round and so on to the Final.
The 1st round of the Cup does not carry a £20 weekly prize.
The 1st week of Lucky 13 Spring 2006 will start the following week and run for 13 weeks in the same format as you’ve just completed.
I’ll get Dave N to post up the 1st Cup scoresheet asap and I will mail round the “draw” soon as well.
Any queries/questions – give me a shout
Cheers,
Pab
Week 13 – The Final
OK, so the nerves were jangling and the Top 3 could only manage 37 points between them! However, Clare Nevin did enough to hold on and is deservedly crowned Champion for Winter 2005 – well done Clare, not only your debut but your the first girl to take the title – big up! Finishing fast and eight points behind in second was Dan Bushell who took full advantage of the blips, as did Stephen Peaston in third just one point behind.Special mention to Dan B who clocked up an impressive 52 correct scores and in PAS, that’s what you’re in it for! John Williamson slipped back to fourth after his worst score of the campaign and Neil Templeton made in Norn Ireland Top Ten (and household) double in 5th. Gary Blackburne has grabbed another £55 pounds in 6th to add to his winnings in Weeks 10 & 11 (and he’s got another fiver for the Best Correct Score). Simon Lindquist dropped one place to 7th and Matt “Stewards Enquiry” Worsfold held on to 8th place. I made my first appearance in the Top Ten at just the right time in 9th and Jazz Sian can take a crumb of consolation finishing in 10th spot after falling 7 places.
Elsewhere, Karl Chartres finally wins some money after seasons of trying by picking up the Spot Prize on 17th, Michelle “it’s a fix” Fernandez will hopefully by me a pressie with her earnings from Spot Prize 27th place and the man who only handed in 2 scoresheets all season justifies his apathy by scooping up the Spot Prize on number 42. Yes, you better read this Damian Duffy and claim your prize, otherwise I’m keeping it! Mr Kim Anthon finishes with the wooden spoon (and you do get one!) 10 points adrift of Ben McK.
Now for the real drama! As you’ve been aware all season, the aim was to finish in the Top 32 to qualify for the Cup competition next year (more on that below). It came down the correct scores in the end as 3 people finished on 278 points. Spare a thought for Danny A and more so, Joanne G who were ousted out by 2 and 1 correct scores respectively by Ahmed Amin, whose 37 correct scores saw him through – phew!
So thank-you all again for making this happen by taking part, getting your cheques in on time and submitting scores. An even bigger thank-you once again to Dave Nicklin who has made the administration here at PAS Towers 4 million percent easier with his IT magic (Dave has been made Honorary Board member and therefore is immune from not qualifying for any PAS competition).
Top 32 people you will be invited in due time to take part in next years PAS Spring season and Cup competition – those of you in the wilderness, I shall be in touch when we get to next September and start all over again although I may open up the Word Cup special to all comers (watch this space). If you finished just outside the 32, it’s not necessarily all over yet as some people may drop out and you’re next in the pecking order to be invited and step up. Better go now – prize winners will have their accounts credited this week or have a cheque put in the post…
Cheers – For-ca PAS!
Pab.
