Hola!

Hope you’re all well, fit & healthy – it’s been emotional, eh?

And don’t talk to me about hair…

 

Anyway,

We’ve thought long and hard at PAS Towers about how we finish the season and now we’ve decided…

 

I can officially reveal that PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’20 is null & void.

The table will stay on the site for posterity and the league leader of “The Season That Never Was” will be awarded a “ghost trophy” to mark the occasion. Congrats, Hira! You’ve won the “ghost” prize money too!

Ditto for the person propping up the league (that was close Frankie!) – you’ll get a “ghost spoon”. (Un)Lucky you.

So, where does that leave us?

 

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’20

We’ll start PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’20 as usual, once all the leagues confirm when next season will officially start.

I propose we carry all the entry money (and prize money!) over, meaning you’ll only have to pay around half the usual entry fee for next season…

 

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’20 entry fee money

If anyone would like their money back now, we can pro-rata the amount you get refunded.

Then, if you join again for next season, it’ll be the usual twenty quid…

 

PAS Cup 2020

At the start PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’20 we will conclude PAS Cup 2020 from the quarter finals stage

 

PAS Champions League 2019-20

At the start PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’20 we will conclude PAS Champions League 2020 from the quarter finals stage

 

It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but in the end probably the fairest, as it will be like starting from scratch from a “virtual” pre-season.

No form to go off, no crowds, no real “home” advantage, no idea on fitness, no way of knowing if “safe teams” will bother to compete and no guarantee once it starts, it will actually finish…

Apologies if this isn’t the outcome you wanted – let’s hope we can get back to normal pretty soon.

Or at least, have a new normal.

Or a “not quite normal, but one where things can still happen on a regular basis…”

 

Stay safe, be sensible and tell the racists to f*ck off.

 

Cheers,

Pab

“Scousers beware…”

 

“Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft”:

We’re living in strange times right now – strange things like…

Will football end just as Liverpool have re-invented it with a blast from the 80s?

Will we ever be allowed out of our houses ever again?

Will we eventually get sick of eating plain pasta?

And will my quest to win the competition I founded be scuppered just as things look as rosy as they’ve ever been?

Yep, proper strange times…

 

6 mere mortals passed the 30 point barrier this week and that included Debbie L, a newbie and Fernandez x 2 – so yeah, proper strange week alright!

John K gave it his best shot but was blasted out the water by the strange site, Predictz 40 (8).

Our benchmarking friends, who predict for a living remember, often rival Mr 2-0 for ineptitude.

Strange how they can run a business based on predictions that rarely come to fruition  – but they do, so hey…

Anyway, this week’s £20 winner isn’t a real person in our eyes (we did invite them to play “properly” but they have never got back to us) and usually one “lucky” homeless person in MCR benefits instead.

However, sometimes you have to look after your own – so we’re taking the unprecedented step of rolling the weekly prize over to Week 6.

Yep, an emergency board meeting at PAS Towers resulted in the unanimous decision that one PASer deserves twenty quid and enough toilet roll to help them through these troubled times.

Oh, and we may throw some pasta in too if our dark web connect comes through…

 

Don’t say we don’t look out for you!

 

 

“Rainy Days and Mondays”:

Nowt stranger than folk!

53 punters failed to cross the 20 points tracks this week – brutal!

Thirteen poor souls couldn’t muster a correct score between them either.

But at least Sam Arora & Norman Lee 9 (0) had each other for company as they contemplated not reaching double digits and being the worst of the worst…

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

If you got a good one, you got a good one…most popular score was Fulham’s 1-1 draw at Bristol City– 26 of us got that!

 

Five got the very annoying last minute spoiling Celtic 5 St Mirren 0

Predictz, Stuart F & Dom W got the dull-all at the DW

Matt W & Paul S had Aberdeen’s 3-1 win over Hibs

Brett D nabbed the form book upsetting Swindon 0 Forest Green 2

Mike K got Derby 3 Blackburn 0

Debbie L secretly said prayers the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Molineux

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Patricia Fernandez for her I-knew-this-random-method-would-pay-dividends-eventually inspired, PNE 1 QPR 3!

 

Bet of the Week:

My Mum was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 4 so we asked her to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

She was too busy organising her 81st birthday bash so granddaughter Frankie stepped up…

And won!

 

 

So, £4.59 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th – result!

 

Harry Hopper is at 11th this week….

 

Young Harold, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

Now then, won’t let an 11 year old girl better you, will you..??!

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Top of the World”:

Hira Yonzan stays top, now only 6 points ahead of Howard T who, in turn, is 1 point ahead of Paul C in third…

Frankie Fernandez remains rooted to the bottom, now ten points behind Darrell S who, in turn, is 3 points away from Neil O…

“We’ve Only Just Begun”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 34 places is Norman Lee – dishonourable mentions go to Alex R (-31), Charlie H (-21), Bry D (-20), Lily T (-20), Sam O (-22) and Sam A (-20)

“Mind the (Watford) gap…”

 

“The Boy with the Arab Strap”:

So, the “weather” continues to put pay to our fixture list, and boy, did some of us need that extra game eh?

Cos it really was gonna be 3-2 right?

What? Eh? Oh…

I’ll start again.

In a week that saw yet another game postponed, only 7 players managed to score more than 25 points!

Three of them even managed topped 30 points.

Very impressive stuff.

Paul C was the early pacesetter only to see Gary B sitting pretty on a massive thirty-one points with one game to go.

But, with five games to go, our £20 weekly winner amassed a massive 13 points, cruelly snatching a veteran PASer’s moment of glory from his grasp to consign him to wait even longer for that elusive weekly win (and he’s been waiting since 1989 folks!)

Yep, Hira Yonzan 35 (4) must have been happier than an Arsenal fan this week as his ridiculous Sunday afternoon prediction landed just in the nick of time!

Well done sir – your enthusiasm for PAS has been infectious (no pun intended!) since you joined, a well deserved win, more power to you predicting elbow!

 

 

 

“I Want The World To Stop”:

A crippling week for some, especially the 55 bods who scored no more than 20 points.

However…

Sam A flopped with 11 (0)

Neils T & O drooped to 10 (0)

Mike Krasnowski & Buxtons, Jack & Simon 9 (0) were most deflated this week as a kinda family trait of worst scores was the order of the day…

No doubt being kind gents, giving Frankie the week off…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Interesting week…most popular score was Millwall’s 1-1 draw with Bristol City – 19 of youse got that!

 

Thirteen landed on the two-two in West London. The wrong side of London…

12 got Swansea’s “Desmond” with Blackburn

Ten nailed Cardiff 2 Brentford 2

5 got the dull-all at St James’s Park (no, not that one, that one)

Five more banked the five point 2-2 betwixt Bournemouth & Chelsea

4 just knew Sheff Wed would score against Derby for a 1-3

Rowan M, Tim P & Pete H we’re so happy for Boro 2-2 Forest they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Matt W, Chris B & John K believed in West Ham. A 3-1 kinda belief…

Simon Linds, Stuart F & Hira Y will shout out loud about the humbling of Spurs by Wolves

Gary B & Samantha P (welcome!) quite rightly predicted Palace’s 0-1 thrashing of Brighton

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to ummm, no one, cos there-wasn’t-a-unique-correct-score-this-week!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Jamie Sellers was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 3 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

It crashed & burned!

 

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – ooops!

 

Patricia Fernandez is at 65th this week….

 

Mum, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

This will be very interesting…

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Step Into My Office, Baby”:

“She’s Losing It”:

Frankie Fernandez drops one place to the bottom – four points behind David G who, in turn, is 2 points away from Ric P…

Dan Hogwood (14) v Anders Hoglund (32)

Ben Hogwood (11) v Jason Morris (2)

PAS W19 league position in brackets

* current Cup holder

In the 1st Round Proper, Richard H took advantage of his wildcard entry to be rewarded with a home tie against the Wizard of Oz, Scott H had his joker to thank and takes on the Belfast Boy, Red Tony Morris avoids his brother and must be relishing the prospect of an off colour Red Neil M in a Manc/Scouse derby, Pete H pulled off an epic away win and has it all to do again against the replay victor Rob C, Frankie rewarded me with an away tie against my old mucker Mark S, Cup holder Kate S continues her defence versus lively newcomer Angelo H, fellow Board member Dan H takes on Sweden’s finest and family derby victor Ben H avoids another derby, but now takes on the ominous “syndicate” member, Jason M…

“Play with matches, you get burned…”

Current PAS champ throws down the gauntlet

 

“Little Fluffy Clouds”:

It was a lively Week 3 right up to Sunday evening.

A tightly contested field was bunched together as 14 punters reached & breached the 30 point mark.

Any one of those 14 could have won it.

Then came the goal-fest at The Emirates…

That 9 pointer catapulted John Jennings 42 (6) right to the top, and the 2 goal West Ham haul on Monday made sure he kept a grip on the weekly £20 prize.

Well done Mr Jennings – it could be argued that the only scoreline you failed to predict on coming up trumps and that 90th minute Swansea goal was the real difference for you, but y’know…<winking emoji>

 

 

 

“Back Side Of The Moon”:

Oooof!

Over a third of the runners and riders failed to notch up more than 20 points this week.

Eight of those suffered the ignominy of collecting zero correct scores…

Those feeling the pain particularly pressing?

Gary McCarthy & Ric Pardoe 10 (0) kept each other company – and shared the blushes.

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wowsers …most popular score was Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat of Spurs– 25 of us got that!

Fifteen were grateful for the 3-1 Celtic win over Kilmarnock

9 doffed a cap to Wolves’ 3-0 deconstruction of Norwich

Eight got Man Yoo’s 3 goal demolition of Watford

8 more believed in Swansea. A 3-1 kinda belief…

Six had Charlton’s 3-1 “Paul Walsh derby” win over Luton

5 banked the five point 2-2 betwixt Brentford & Blackburn

Five more said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Arsenal 3-2 Everton

Martin S, Paul C & Dom W turned up Hamilton 0 Motherwell 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those 2,531 poor souls who were actually there.

Norman L & Reagon K made us all green by happening upon Burnley 3-0 Bournemouth

Danny A nabbed the form book upsetting Leicester City 0 Manchester City 1

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rowan Marriott for his I-did-my-scores-whilst-running-38-miles-whilst-carrying-my-youngest-whilst-moving-house inspired, Birmingham City 3 Sheffield Wednesday 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Norman Lee was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

We didn’t get a reply!

 

 

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – decent start to be fair!

 

 

Jamie Sellers is at 45th this week….

 

Mr Baba Louey, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld”:

Sam Arora moves up 1 place to the summit –  1 point ahead of Hira Y who, in turn, is three correct scores ahead of John J in third…

 

Five crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Outlands”:

Ric Pardoe plummets nine places to the basement slot – two points behind Frankie F who, in turn, is 6 points away from Chris B…

 

 

“Perpetual Dawn”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 49 places is Scott Harrison – honourable mentions go to Paul H (+41), John J (+41), Jerry S (+41), Tony M (+36), Neil T (+33), Predictz (+30) and Andy C (+30)

 

“Supernova At The End Of The Universe”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 33 places is Chris Dixon – dishonourable mentions go to Gary McC (-32), Bry D (-30), Dave N (-30), Olly O (-28), Gareth M (-28), Glynn F (-27), Dan W (-26) and David G (-25)

“raise your hand if you think you understand, raise your standards if you don’t..”

 

“Come Home (The Andy Weatherall Mix)”:

An awful week all round then…

Even in PAS.

It was a proper bunfight to be the best of a bad bunch in Week 2.

Twenty four of us got over 20 points in a week that saw the 30 point barrier remaining intact for probably the first time ever?

Lily T showed her dad that she’s stepped up to the plate her mum vacated this season with vim & vigour.

Hira Y is basically doing a Leicester of 2016.

If Leicester were in fact, well, Notts County.

But heading up the trio who got nearest to flirting with thirty was our exile in Oz, Paul Carter 27 (5).

Mr C has Ross County’s 94th-minute equaliser to thank for edging out Mr Y and securing the twenty nicker.

I think that’s the definition of a flaming galah.

Not certain though…

 

 

“Raise (63 Steps to Heaven) [Redskin Rock Mix]”:

18 poor souls got zero correct scores.

A terrible week all round then…

Lightened only by the fact that Mr 2-0 5(0) and his followers were bottom of the pile.

Yep, scant consolation that…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Barren…most popular score was Ross County’s 1-1 draw with St Johnstone – 27 of youse got that!

 

Seven got WBA’s “Desmond” with Forest

6 had the very annoying last minute spoiling Aston Villa 2 Spurs 3

Four landed on the two-two in Edinburgh. The wrong side of Edinburgh…

Justin C & Nick W nailed Rotherham 2 AFC Wimbledon 2

Ben H was all over the 1-0 to the ‘Gers

Sam A was well away with the 0-1 away win for Liverpool

Paul C got the dull-all at Molineux

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Chris Dixon for his whey-aye-man-i’m-alreet-pet inspired, Cardiff 2 Wigan 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Kate Slee was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 1 so we asked her to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

We didn’t get a reply!

 

 

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – decent start to be fair!

 

 

Norman Lee is at 33rd this week….

 

Mr Lee, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Soon (The Andrew Weatherall Mix)”:

Hira Yonzan will be delirious with joy as he moves up 2 places to go 8 points ahead of Sam A who in turn is one point ahead of Chris D in third…

 

Four crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Abandon (Boys Own Mix)”:

Neil Meredith drops one place to the bottom, two correct scores behind Mr 2-0 and his acolytes

 

 

“Weekender (Audrey Is A Little Bit More Partial Mix)”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 61 places is Lee Ford – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+46), Ryan G (+48), Gareth M (+46), Jamie S (+47), Moi (+51) and John J (+50)

 

“Only Love Can Break Your Heart (A Mix In Two Halves)”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 48 places is Sam Craig – dishonourable mentions go to Neil O (-34), Samantha P (-30), Angelo H (-41), Will O (-35), Matt W (-38), David G (-31), Bijay L (-41) and Andy F (-45)

“Head the ball…”

 

“Firesmoke”:

New year, new start ‘n’ all that.

I did my scores from a position of excellent preparation, plenty of research and a knowing that it’d be a week that would go as it ought to go…

It didn’t.

So apologies for the lateness of this update – i’ve been in shock. And in pubs.

Quite a lot of you clearly knew what I didn’t…

Best of the bunch?

Dom Webber 40 (7) deftly manoeuvred, on his debut, to the front of the pack thanks to, well, no last minute dramas basically!

Or VAR interventions.

If you got 30 points or more this week, you were one of 9 – I doff my cap, you jammy…

 

So, congrats Dommo, £20 winging it’s way to you ASAP – you’re already a tenner up!

Always the best week to win it – innit!

 

 

“People’s Faces”:

Did you score more than Mr 2-0 this week?

Wow, I’m in awe…

13 of us couldn’t manage that this week.

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Sheff U though eh?! <horrorfied face>

Six players didn’t manage a correct score and 10 couldn’t muster up a measly 15 points!

One girl wishing she was more “Blades” though is Francesca Fernandez 9 (1).

A woeful start sees her at the bottom of the pile in the opening week – a lesson learnt not to farm out your scores to a “boy that knows about football”…

That’s (not) my girl!

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I’ve got that sinking feeling already…most popular score was Motherwell’s 1-1 draw at St Mirren– 19 of youse got that!

 

Thirteen were all over the 0-3 to the Bhoys

7 had Everton’s 3-1 win over The Eagles

Five thrilled at the thrilling Brentford 3 Middlesbrough 2

4 made us all green by happening upon Hamilton 0-4 Rangers

Dave N, Howard T & Samantha P (welcome!) got the bore draw between Salford & Crawley

Mark S, Kate S & Matthew M celebrated the dull-all at the Pirelli Stadium

Jazz S, Matt W & Darren McC were grateful for the 3-1 Stoke win over Charlton

Howard T (again!) & Bijay L got Colchester 3 Plymouth 0

Paul C secretly said prayers the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Pittodrie

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Mike Krasnowski for his start-as-you-mean-to-go-on inspired, Swansea City 2 Derby County 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 11th will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 33rd in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 65th in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 11th…yeah?!

Good.

So, last season’s “leading lady” Kate Slee is first up.

Pete Katy, I need your 3 team treble by Friday please!

No pressure…
