Norn Ireland :

A big week (it went on til Wednesday! hmmmmm) and some big scores. Stephen Peaston! 47(8) – Richard Lee! 44(5) – Mark McDowell! 46(4) (remember him? the poor little virgin from Week 1? My God he’s putting it about now…) And a big winner. Step up Jamie Sellers 50 (7) and collect your £20! My QPR supporting, Brighton dwelling friend will hopefully not part with his money down at Seaweed Albion. May I suggest you choose to get on a train to East Croydon and visit the home of, albiet second rate, football instead?

Divot watch :

Not a good week to score poorly (even Mr 2-0 managed 33(5)!) but score poorly he did. The ever-late-with-his-scrambled-together-guesses Tapiwa Madovi 11(0), limped home with this poor effort. You nang? Uh uh.

Correct Score of the Week :

(drum roll) Will O / Neil M / Mark McD / Rich L all got Czech Rep’s 7-0 – there, you got a mention! Jamie S / Rich L / Danny A got Romania 3 Belarus 1, loads of you got Portugal’s 3-0, France’s 5-0, N Ireland’s 1-0, Ireland’s 1-1 with Czech and Wales’s 3-1 V Cyprus. This week’s props go to me though for Armenia 0 Finland 0. I thankyou. (Neil T – I agree this scoreline prediction needs to be recognised – any others who got this, I apologise, I couldn’t be ars*d checking…)

Bet of the Week :

Well well well. Our friend from the Rep of Mancunia obviously knew something we didn’t eh? Wayne C’s prediction of utter shambles came correct and now we’re evens again! £15 wiped off in one fell swoop. Well done Wayne, and more well done on not submitting any scores and picking up the big default score.

Table News

Hotchip :

Pies! Piers! JJB! Neil Birchall now heads up the table with a lovely little one point lead from Rich L.

Monkey With A Miniature Cymbal :

What’s happened? Has morphed into Everton?? Clare Nevin falls further behind and is now 6 points adrift of Danny A.

Over & Over :

Biggest climber this week is Stephen Peaston (+28) up to the nosebleed heights of 6th. Howay!(man). Others on the up are Jamie S (+25), Mark McD (+25) and Matt W (+19)

Under & Under :

Falling furthest this week is inevitably, Tapiwa Madovi (-33), down to the depths that is 41st. Boo ya! Others on the decline are John G (-21), Ciaran McG (-21), Jon Allin (-24) and Martin S (-28)

Close & A Cigar!:

Pab (+2) Smoking? Yuk!

In The Spotlight :

17th Greg E (+15), 23rd Mark G (+4), 39th Karl C (-1) and 47th Anders H (-1)

Cup 2007 :

By Week 13 you need to be where Dan R (-10) is.

Cheers,
Pab

Monies still outstanding! Some I know are “pending” but the Hall of Shame continues… Mrs F, Mark G, Lisa G, Matt W, Dan R, Greg C, Karl C, John G, Julian F, Steve T, Gary B and Ben H – coooooooommmmmme onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Someone has paid in from “Bournemouth” – let me know who you are please!

Back to Week 2 proceedings….

Stray Cat Strut :

Up one place to top the pile, Ben H has a huuuge 1 point gap from the Weeks 1 & 2 winners.

78 Stone Wobble :

Oh dear! The young lady chasing “back to back winter titles” has a mountain to climb now – Clare N slips 10 places to 48th just behind Danny A on CS difference…

Running Up That Hill :

Highest climber is Martin S up a whopping 27 places to 14th – honourable mentions to Wayne C (+18) Pam R (+14) Julian F (+13) Pam D (+26) Jamie S (+18) and Mark McD (+15)

If I Should Fall From Grace :

Falling furthest is the Lisa & Mark G who both drop 19 places to 43rd and 27th respectively (can you tell they were away and did their scores early?!). Dishonourable mentions to Dan B, Mark F & Anders H (all -18), Will O & Greg E (both -16)

Close & A Cigar! :

Up 6 places into the 11th slot goes Rich L

Spotters :

Matt G up 4 to 17th, Neil T down 14 to 23rd, Greg E down 16 to 32nd, Gary B down 11 to 39th and Neil M down 10 to 46th

Robin’s Volley :

A lovely timed last minute goal from Ashley “When You Were” Young gave the £20 weekly prize to Wayne Connolly 33(5) pipping current wooden spoon holder Pam D at the post. Well done Wayne, bet Mr Glazer can’t wait to take your winnings off you mate!

Joey’s Blue Moon :

What do a Swede, a placcy Scouser and Belfaster? (onian? ee?) have in common? Correct. Tick. Yes, they all got 10(0) this week – Anders H, Neil M and Clare N youse are rubbish! Oh, and Clare, what’s happened to that pre-season prediction??!

Correct Score of the Week :

Quite unbelievably lots got Chelsea – Villa correct and Bristol City’s 0-0 draw with Oldham. Howie T, Dave N & Matt W got Derby 3 Southend 0 and Wayne C and yours truly bagged 8 points from Hearts 4 Dundee Utd 0. No one got a unique score of note so Ben A still reigns…

Bet of the Week :

Told ya Evertonians don’t win (much). Hope you stayed away from Mark J B’s double – we are now £10 down and looking to Wayne C for relief (ooo-errr)

Table News :

I’ll send round the table a bit later on.

Cheers,
Pab

What We Noticed This Week :

How much was Jamie Rednapp salivating over Gary Speed? He loves him – DJ Optimo is just like Celtic in Europe, irresistible on home soil but rubbish anywhere else – Stevie Me & Crouchigol’s hairstyles – the overexcitable Pompey bench – Norwich fan power – the fact it’s really really hard to watch Soccer AM with a hangover – the hot summer (hot hot summer) is now definitely over…

A few things to note:

• Pam R is Top Girl
• Pam D isn’t bottom
• Mr 2-0 did really well this week and no one was with him
• Matt G – nothing to do with the table, but are you aware of the Palace – Coventry score??? He he he! I take it our annual agreement is in full affect…

All prizes are valid at the end of Week 13.

New prize – we’ve added the “Close, But You Actually Get A Cigar” slot on 11th. Fresh back from Cuba, it’s a splendid big bad boy from the range Fidel used to personally hand out to visiting dignitaries. Mark McD will vouch it takes about a day to smoke…

To be invited to PAS Spring 2007 / PAS Cup 2007 you need to finish in at least 32nd postion.

Funds for the Cup competition currently stand at £117.50 – nice!

Week 2 scoresheet to follow…

Cheers,
Pab

Esplendido :

He’ll be flinging toffees back at the players when he’s next at Goodison – Mark J Brown 40(4) is flush with Week 1’s £20 prize. Well done my Scouse friend – will you be spending the money on elocution lessons or losing it all in 30 seconds at the online casino?

Cigarillo:

PAS virgin Mark McDowell 12(0) won’t forget losing his cherry for a long long while after this first time flop. Predicting the score for AFC Wimbledon is a long way from playing with the big boys Marky! Stick to the ping pong son…

Correct Score of the Week:

Dreams are quite often hard to decipher. Of course, it all makes sense now! What I thought was a eight in the Land of Nod was actually a three – ho hum… Loads of you back in reality knew the Arse would get three against The Sheffield Tavern. Likewise for the Jambos 1-3 and amazingly, the 0-0 between Leicester and Colchester. Props to John G (Ipswich 3 Sunderland 1), Mark J B (Plymouth 3 Norwich 1) and Howie T / Matt G (Southend 0 Cardiff 3) but this weeks accolade goes to Ben Alder for his Reading 1 Man Utd 1 prediction – which leads us nicely to…

Bet of the Week :

Our very own World Champion (where’s the photo with the Cup??) Simon L was tasked on the opening week and his “safe” treble fell at the final hurdle thanks to Palace legend Stevie Coppell putting out a side to stop “unbeatable” Man Yoo – boo hoo! We go into Week 2 £5 to the bad. Mark J Brown is next up. It should be good kids – he likes a flutter.

Table News :

I’ll send round the first table a bit later on – see below.

All info will be up on the NEW (this!) webpage – but I’m not telling you where it is yet cos it’s not quite finished….Week 2 scoresheet and Week 1 table will mailed round later…

Cheers,
Pab

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:

He’s been there for 9 weeks and fully deserves the title on his debut season – Steve Tagger 361 (43) walks away with the £150 1st prize 12 points clear of the field. Now he has the dilemma of spending his winnings on his brand new daughter or watching Dennis Wise’s team…

King Herod:

He joined us 2 weeks late, walked into an 11th place slot courtesy of Mr 2-0, and then proceeded to record a sequence of some of the worst scores ever seen at PAS Towers! A well deserved wooden spoon goes to Jon Allin 260 (25) who finished 7 points adrift of Will Oppong (who is now officially the worst “weekly winner” ever) in his debut season. We tried to get Ian Holloway to comment, but even he was lost for words…

Nine, ahem, Ladies Dancing:

(drum roll) Jazz Sian secured yet another £100 in 2nd place (check out his career earnings when the new webpage launches in January!) and will surely open betting accounts for his new baby twins, Matt Gingell picked up 3rd place (£75) and the “Best Correct Score of the Season” (£5) thanks to his mega-guess at Macc v Stanley, much to annoyance of myself who missed out on an extra tenner by finishing 4th (£65) (I know, I know, I’m great..) but at the same time pleased as I edged out my old mucker Dan Rayner into 5th (£55) by way of 4 more correct scores (unlucky Daniel son, not a bad debut fella!). Jamie Sellers kept the old skool flag flying by moving up 5 places to take 6th (£50).

Then it all got a bit close – Wayne Connolly beat “Top Girl” Donna Edmead by 1 point to finish 7th (£40) to her 8th (£35) (welcome back Donna, will this reflect the outcome of the Man Yoo – Villa Cup game in Jan?), Mark Fawke took time out from Internet-dating but could only manage 9th (£30) place, just ahead of John Greaves who just succeeded in getting his money back in 10th (£25) despite having a ’mare of a 13th week…

Close & A Cigar!:

A lesson for all you kids out there – Ciaran McGoldrick didn’t get his scores over this week and paid the ultimate price by dropping out of the prize positions. Scant consolation then in the form of a f*ck off Fidel-approved-Havana cigar. I shall present this mate when I meet you in the PAS executive box (sponsored by Oracle) at the Emirates for the Arsenal Wigan game. Hopefully you’ll be sparking up in celebration of a 1st leg win over AC Milan a couple of weeks later…

Christmas Bonus:

Spot prizers are – Matt Worsfold, who is happier than A Curbishly in 17th (£20), Neil Meredith, who submitted the worst score of the week but laughs loudest and longest in 23rd (£20), Julian Fernandez, the untalented Fernandez who ended up dropping to 39th (£15) and Howard Thomas, another back-in-day-before-PC’s-old-skooler who rolled back the years to anchor down in the very unspectacular 47th (£15) spot.

Cup 2007:

Week 13 is here and Mr 2-0 has performed above and beyond so the Cup qualification slot goes down to 33rd… Neil Birchall, you got in by the skin of yer teeth (1 point) – see you in Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Thanks to everyone who has taken part, parted with money and bothered to submit scores week in, week out, thanks to Dave Nicklin for the technical support and brains and thanks to all those weekly winners who got involved provided a weekly punt (and thanx more to those who gave us winners!).

Didn’t qualify? I’ll be in touch after the summer…

Cool kids, I’ll mail you soon!

All monies will be transferred/handed over asap.

Merry Christmas!

Cheers,
Pab.

’Appy ’Ammers! :

The greatest comeback since Luton’s Sol Davis sees Pam Riding 33 (5) go from the brink of embarrassment three weeks ago, to the last weekly £20 winner and a comfortable Cup qualifier to boot. Well done Pammy, slip us a tenner and I won’t tell anybody it’s your dad doing your scores. Mum’s the word!

Chris Morgan’s Face :

You’d think coming from Runcorn was bad enough, but oh no, Neil Meredith 11 (0) thought he’d make it even worse for himself this week. No two pints of lager and a bag of crisps for you me laddo!

Correct Score of the Week :

Sometimes I really don’t like some people. How on earth did Matt Gingell come up with Maccelsfield 3 Accrington 3??!! Suffice to say, this is the “Best Correst Score of the Season”. Send him to Coventry Isay! Others of note this week are Pam R’s Colchester City 3 Stoke 0, Neil B/Ben McK/Neil T’s PNE 3 Plymouth 0 and an inpsired Everton 2 Chelsea 3 from Danny A.

Bet of the Week :

We lost. We finished £1.25 down for the season (note that bad I spose). Shall I unmask the mystery “pro punter”? Was that a “yes” at the back? Ok… Mark B, you are rubbish!

Cheers,
Pab.

Harveys Bristol Cream :

Has he started to stumble? His lead is a mere 14 points! Steve Tagger remains in pole position and barring an all time low score will be pocketing at least £100 next week….

Eggnog :

With Will O clocking up a winning score this week it leaves Jon Allin stranded in the wooden spoon position a full 10 points behind Danny A.

Drinking Up :

Highest climber this week, and he’ll be glad of it – trust me, is Neil T (+7) into the coveted 32nd slot – others of note are Matt G (+5) into 5th and hunting 3rd, Dave McS (+5) to 18th, Tapiwa M (+6) continuing a late comeback to 21st, Lisa G (+6) putting hubby Mark to shame in 24th and Michelle F (+6) 3 points of 2007 qualification in 35th

Down In One :

Falling the furthest (farthest?), even further than the journey from Mancland to Devon is Andy C (-8) to 30th – other losers are Mr 2-0 (-6) to 20th (good!), Dave N (-6) to 26th, Watford keeper Richard L (-7) to 31st and Gary B (-6) to 38th

Close & A Cigar! :

Jamie S (non-mover) stays on11th virtue of an inferior correct score difference

Spotters :

Neil M (-4) on 17th, Ben A (+2) on 23rd, Simon S (-4) on 39th and John W (non mover) on 47th.

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Neil T (+7) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Michael Essien’s Lucky Strike :

In a week that saw the tables being turned upside down (see BotW) Will Oppong 38 (5) struck a blow for the minnows by claiming the £20 this week. Well done Willo, you can treat yourself to a hotdog at the Arse now….

Michael Essien’s Miss :

It’s all gone horribly wrong for the Pilgrim who entered the PAS fray late doors this season. Should he have stuck with the Mr 2-0 scores? Jon Allin 14 (0) must have that Armada feeling…

Correct Score of the Week :

Nuff people got Man Yoo and Liverpool, Dave McS got Rangers 3-0, Lisa G got a very commendable Colchester 1-3 at Palace and Will O nailed the Bolton 4-0. However, Hitman Howie T wears the crown this week for his Hearts 4 Motherwell 1 prediction. Baby, let’s go go…

Bet of the Week :

Aarrrgggghhhhhhhhhh! I didn’t hold out much hope with the speculative win/draw acca’s but the £3 main bet was a sure thing for around £30! It was all going swimmingly until Gretna (the Chelsea of second-rate Scottish football) somehow conspired to go 0-1 up, get a man sent off for “foul and abusive language” (you might as well punch someone on your way off for that!) and go on to lose to 2nd bottom Aidrie Utd by 4 bloomin’ goals to 2. I hate accumulators! Going into the final week we are now &pound1.25 out of pocket so it’s all down to Will O to save face/the day….

Cheers,
Pab.

Apex :

His lead seemed unsurpassable last week and it’s now been stretched to 20 points from the chasing Jazz S. Steve Tagger is all set to get v close to the best winning score ever posted for a season… (Jazz S – 391, in case you we’re wondering..)

Nadir :

Looks set for a straight scrap for the wooden spoon between Jon A and bottom placed Will O who closed the gap to three points this week.

Rising :

Up 13 places to 3rd I go, la la, la la! (and only a mere 30 points off top spot!) – others of note are Tapiwa M (+6) in 27th and Gary B (+9) in 32nd

Sinking :

Whooomp! There he is! Julian F is down 12 places to 37th – others of note are Ben McK (-6) in 29th, Neil T (-8) in 39th and, sacre bleu!, Michelle F (-6) in 41st (welcome back from gay Paris honey!)

Close & A Cigar! :

Jamie S (+1) is up to 11th and just, erm, no points and, ummm, no correct scores off the prizes….if it was Week 13 Jamie, you’d be sharing £25 with Matt G

Spotters :

Karl C (+5) on 17th, Dave McS (-5) on 23rd, Neil T (-8) on 39th and John W (-4) on 47th

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Gary B (+9) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Two Dodgy Pens & One Offside! :

Well that lording it round the house did last long for Michelle F as yours truly stormed Week 11, winning it quite handsomely (natch!) with 42 (7) – and that’s without the Leeds – Barnsley 2-2 I called (Jesus, I’m ace!) that had to be voided due to an admin error by one of the minions…. I apologise to the couple of other players who also missed out on 4 points. You just can’t get the staff these days!

Off Work With A Faceache :

He’s not really my brother, he’s that milkman’s – the one that didn’t like football… Julian F plods in with 11 (0)

Correct Score of the Week :

Not many about this week… I got Palace 3 QPR 0, Rich L got Brum 3 Plymouth and Karl C got Arsenal 3 Sp*rs 0. I think you know who got score of the week.

Bet of the Week :

We are now down to £8.75 profit due to the latest treble chance loss. I’ll have a think and try and come up with some plum selections just in time for Chrimbo.

Cheers,
Pab.

As pointed out by the missus and the visiting Mark F (ad infinitum) and the vigilant Simon L – the Leeds Barnsley game was listed incorrectly as Barnsley are away and not at Oakwell.

Hands up, our mistake.

This result is now null and void – watch it finish 2-2 now just to rub it in…

Apologies,
P-A-S Quality Control Team

Haircut 100 :

As it’s Week 10 it’s really easy to work out the average scores…and Steve Tagger is averaging nearly 30 points a week! Safe to say his lead of 17 points is looking pretty unassailable…

David James’s Barnet :

Some 20 points on average behind the leader is Will Oppong who now finds himself 13 points away from 2nd bottom.

Hopeless Hair Do :

Highest climber is cockernee WHam geezer (from Kent no less!) Matt W, up 12 places to 20. Others moving significantly up are Dave N & Neil T (+10) and Michelle F (+11)

Hair Don’t :

Falling furthest is Manc Citeh laydeee (from Urmston!) Pam R, down 11 places to 46. Others moving significantly the wrong way are Ben H (-10), and Martin S & Lisa G (-6).

Close & A Cigar! :

Current “Geordies FFL” leader Stephen P (+3) is just 3 points off the prize money places.

Spotters :

Scott A (+1) on 17th, Ben McK (+7) on 23rd, Mark G (-4) on 39th and Howard T (-2) on 47th.

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Mark McD (-5) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooraaaaay! :

As stated before, I would rather eat glass than fix a week and give the missus bragging rights in Casa Fernandez. So, until I produce a winning week score or get into the Top Ten, Michelle Fernandez 33(7) will be lording it up clutching a crisp twenty and mocking in my general direction. Oh joy! Mrs F just edged out Matt W courtesy of two more correct scores…

Boooo! Hisssss! :

The slide continues for Pam Riding 11(0) who seems determined to get the wooden spoon after a promising first couple of weeks.

Correct Score of the Week :

Loads got Colchester, Forest, Tottenham and Rangers, Mark G / Dave N / Danny A got Dunfermline 0 Aberdeen 3 and Scott Aslett somehow managed to get Motherwell 4 Falkirk 2! Correct, he is now in the “Best Correst Score of the Season” slot…

Bet of the Week :

Well, he got the Welsh part of the treble right but failed with the other two “nailed on” selections. Greg E has now taken the profit down to £13.75 and next up is Michelle F – I think I know what that bet will be already…

Thought of the Week :

Now that Phil has gone, why has Che Neville got “G. Neville” on his back?

Cheers,
Pab.

I’ll get straight to it as it’s late – apologies to those who did well and for those who did bad, you’re off the hook this week… (that’ll be me then!)

Winner :

Greg Edwards 44 (6)

Worst :

Jon Allin 15 (1)

Correct Score of the Week :

Danny B – Coventry 3 Sheff Wed 1

Bet of the Week :

Rubbish! Now down to £18.75…

Cheers,
Pab

Steve Coppell :

He’s still out front and he’s still 5 points clear – Steve Tagger is holding off the fast rising Ciaran McG who in turn has a 6 point gap to Jazz S, who in turn has a 9 point gap to the chasing pack…

Iain Dowie :

He’s still stuck at the bottom and he’s now 7 points adrift – Will Oppong is falling away from Danny A who is now behind Jon A

Gareth Southgate :

John G (+16) is this weeks highest climber – props to Matt G (+15), Lisa G (+9) and Martin S / Anders H / Gary B (+6)

Alan Pardew :

Tapiwa M (-12) is this weeks biggest loser – disses to Mark F / Neil B / Mark G (- 7), Donna E / Pam R (-8) and Greg E (-10)

Close & A Cigar! :

Mark F is smoking on 11th (-7)

Spotters :

Scott A (-1) on 17th, Andy C (-4) on 23rd, Anders H (+6) on 39th and Jon A (+1) on 47th.

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Simon S (+4) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Take A Boo Son! :

They’ll be dancing in the streets of North East Baile Atha Cliath tonight as Ciaran McGoldrick 42 (7) is this weeks winner. Whether he spends the money on Gypsy Rovers, the Bhoys, his boys or his good lady wife is something to ponder whilst supping pints of O’Guinness down the juicer, probably watching GAA at the same time. Or maybe even a new amp for Clubber Lang? Now there’s a dilemma… £29.72873 coming your way sunshine!

Not Gonna Happen Fair :

Ooops! Pam Riding 14 (1) is this weeks disgrace – the slide continues…

Correct Score of the Week:

Lots of you got Chelsea and (back to normal) Celtic, I got Leicester 2 Plymouth 2, Matt G got Wigan 3 Charlton 2 (goodbye Judas Dowie!), Mark G & Ciaran McG got Leeds 3 Colchester 0 and Steve T & John G got Luton 2 QPR 3. This weeks best, and new overall score, goes to Pam Dyson for her Arsenal 3 Liverpool 0 prediction. Hoooray!

Bet of the Week :

Mark G’s very optimisitc double (it included City!) fell woefully short and our overall profit is now cut to £23.75. Next up is Ciaran McG so expect index spread betting on J J Deleany or something…

Cheers,
Pab

Small Teams In London :

If scoring 20 points is a bad week then he had one – Steve Tagger is still top but, ominously, his lead has been cut to 5 points by Jazz S. Mr 2-0 makes a Top ten debut for the first time ever at 8. Man, that’s depressing…

Big Teams In London :

If scoring 15 points is a good week, then it’s not good enough – Will Oppong is still bottom and 3 points away from Jon A.

North West Teams :

Highest climber is Week 7 winner Mark Grey (+14) up to 30th – gold stars to Donna E (+13) on 11th, Neil M (+11) on 14th, Scott A (+11) on 16th, Tapiwa M (+11) on 21st and Ben McK (+10) on 25th.

North East Teams :

Biggest drop is Week 7 loser Mark McDowell (-15) down to 22nd – black marks to Dave Mcs (-12) on 26th, Pam R (-13) on 28th and Matt W (-10) on 32nd

Close & A Cigar! :

One point off the Top Ten is Donna E (+13)

Spotters :

Wayne C (+4) at 17, John G (-5) at 23, Mark J B (-5) at 39 and Danny A (non mover) at 47.

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Matt W (-10) is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Show Them The Whole Thing :

In the bizarrest of bizarre weeks I spose it had to be a City fan to come out on top! Congrats to Mark Grey 38 (5) who just about edged out Donna E, Jazz S and Neil M. £20 to spend on some elastic for Joey B’s shorts then…

You Are Not Ready :

From zero to hero back to zero again – it’s been an eventful debut for Mark McDowell 9 (0) who racks up his second worst score of the week this season.

Correct Score of the Week :

Loads got Man U (what was Kranjcar doing???!) and loads got Wolves (3-1 speculators, I’ve got me eye on youse!). Amazingly, Simon L / Mark G / Greg E all got Barnsley’s 9 pointer and Karl C / Jazz S / Danny A got PNE’s 7 pointer. However, correct score of the week and new overall best prediction goes to Howard Thomas for his Dundee Utd 2 Rangers 1.

Bet of the Week :

I knew it was going to be a bad week when I scoffed at this and wasted a fiver on Southampton, Palace and Arsenal. Olly O’s well thought out double on Charlton and Watford now has us sitting pretty on +£28.75. Over to you Mr Grey, no pressure…

Cheers,
Pab

Best :

Top o’ the tree is still Steve T who has an 11 point lead over yours truly ;-)

Bad :

Rock bottom is Will O (-3) who will now be ridiculed mercilessly by Grunwald FC contingent…but he’s only 1 point away from Jon A.

Better :

Highest climber is Greg E (+11) who moves up to 19th. Olly O (+9) up to 10th and Lisa G (+7) are also worth a mention.

Bitter :

Longest drop goes to Scott A (-14) down to 27th. Karl C (-8) on 31st, Ben McK (-8) on 35th and Clare N (-8) on 45th are not worth mentioning. But I will.

Close & A Cigar! :

No scores sent in this week but Ciaran McG (+3) is now sitting in 11th spot.

Spotters :

Simon L (+4) on 17th, Julian F (+1) on 23rd, Michelle F (+6) on 39th and Danny A (+2) on 47th.

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Tapiwa M is to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Word of Warning :

A disturbing number of players are putting in 3-0 and 3-1 for over a third of their scores – carpeting bombing is frowned upon here at PAS Towers and either the individuals will be banned or the above scores will lose their bonus point status. Discuss.

Wayne Roooooooney :

Well Steve T didn’t win (but he was close!) this week but Olly Osmond 31 (4) did! Will you share the &pound20 with your brothers or put it towards the train fare up to the Glazer Bowl? You decide… and well done sir!

And Smith Must Score :

Oh dear. A bit like the Watford striker and maybe Mr Benjani down at Fratton, Scott Aslett and Clare Nevin (again!) will have their heads in their hands pondering over a weekly total of 8 (0)…

Correct Score of the Week :

Olly O / Jazz S (remember him?) / Mark McD all got Pompey’s 3-1 win over Reading but best weekly score and new “Correct Score of the Season” goes to Greg Edwards his prediction of the Dingles beating PNE 3-2 at Turf Moor on Friday.

Bet of the Week :

The “Mystery Pro-Punter” came up trumps and wiped the slate clean for us with his Chelsea/Sunderland double – did you get on??! Next up to the oche is Olly O.

What We’ve Noticed This Week :

The deification of Thierry is definitely waning (yay!) – pies at Ashburton Grove are now a “giveaway” £3 – there were actual tackles and physical contact in the Man City V Boro game (yay! again) – City are a massive club actually, 16th in the world for turnover don’tcha know! – was Paddy O’Kenny cleverly trying to second guess Fat Frank’s shot taking a deflection? – Sheff U are rubbish…

Cheers,

Good :

Nearly 100 points in two weeks, of course he’s top! Steve Tagger now has an eight point lead and the Northern Jazz title…

Bad :

Bless! He’s away in Oz oblivious to the fact he’s bottom of the pile. Welcome home Danny Ashworth you’re two points away from spoon safety…

Plain :

Highest climber this week was Villa-ette Donna E up 15 places to 23rd. Others of note were Steve T (+10) to 1st, Dave McS (+8) to 9th, Karl C (+14) to 22nd and Martin S (+9) to unlucky 33rd

Ugly :

Biggest faller this week was Citeh-boy Mark G down 13 places to 41st (see! Lisa was right!). Others to mock were Mark J B (-11) to 29th, Howard T (-11) to 36th, Ben A (-11) to 34th and the missus (-10) to 45th (keeping your brother company are we luv?)

Close & A Cigar! :

Mizz Pamela R (-4) drops out of the Top Ten for the first time this season.

Spotters :

Mr. 2-0 (-1) on 17th, Donna E (+15) on 23rd, Simon S (+2) on 39th and Anders H (+2) on 47th

Cup 2007 :

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

Plucky little clubs :

A week in football is a long time – he won his first weekly prize, had a baby and now he’s won his second weekly. Congrats again to Steve Tagger 52 (6) who has posted a staggering 99 points in two weeks! Another £20 coming your way Stephen – put it in the baby fund mate…

Massive clubs :

He missed the first few weeks and he might be advised to miss a few more. Jon Allin 15 (0) you’re having a ’mare son!

Correct Score of the Week :

Steve T / Greg E / Moi got Sheff Wed 3 QPR 2, Steve T / Donna E got Southend 1 Ipswich 3, Lisa G / Matt W got Aberdeen 3 Dundee Utd 1, Matt G got Inverness C T 3 Falkirk 2 and Steve T got WBA 3 Wolves O. But, looking for his 2nd successive Correct Score of the Season, Scott Aslett is the man to beat with his St Mirren 2 Rangers 3.

Bet of the Week :

Steve T was late in getting his BotW across (something to do with X Factor and cricket – weirdo!) so I took up the challenge and took another £5 away from the tally – soz! We’re down £10 now, but hopefully Steve T will bail us out on the back of his golden run. We’ll see…

Some Fings :

All the money is finally in (Greg E, you still owe £2.50!). The new webpage won’t be ready til 2007 (Wembley? Eh? Oh…)

Thanx to Neil T for flying in specially to discuss plans for the 1st PAS awards party over a “few” pints on Saturday afternoon…

When you send your scores over, make sure you’ve saved them first yeah? A blank scoresheet only gets you the 2-0 score!

Arsenal are the best team in the world…..

Cheers,

PS- you may remember Mr 2-0 won a spot prize last season and as he’s a benchmark as opposed to a real person we can’t give him the money. On Friday we donated his £20 to a worthwhile local cancer charity so it’s gone to a good home and very much appreciated.

Tom Tom :

You’ve heard of Northern Soul, well, get ready for Northern Jazz! Neil Birchall is setting a breakneck pace at the top and threatening to do a Mr Sian. His lead is now 9 points from Richard L

Scott Scott :

The Swedes may be turning out top notch music at the minute but the predicting fraternity is all a bit Macclesfield. Anders Hoglund is propping up the rest 4 points from Danny B

Found My Thrill :

Obviously Steve Tagger is this weeks highest climber, up a big Yorkshire-man-pride-size 33 places to 11th. Hot also this week were Dan R (+26), Ciaran McG (+19), Olly O (+21) and Neil M (+19)

Road To Nowhere :

Obviously Dave Nicklin is this weeks biggest faller, down a big Geordie-title-hope-size 20 places to 29th. Cold also this week were Jamie S (-11), Greg E (-17) and Will O (-13)

Close & A Cigar! :

That man Steve T again – how apt.

Spotters :

Dave McS 17th (+7), Matt G 23rd (-9), Tapiwa M 39th (+2) and Danny A 47th (+1)

Cup 2007 :

At the end of Week 13 you need to be where Ben A is (-7) to qualify for the Lucky 13 Spring 2007 & the Big PAS Cup!

Super Cally :

A very high scoring week indeed – a trio of late 30 scores and a couple of level 42’s (Dan R & a rejuvenated Clare N!). But, this weeks winner may have a double celebration this week cos he’s won the £20 AND he should have a lickle baby very soon as well – congrats to Steve Tagger 47 (7). Scant consolation maybe for seeing your team lose 0-4 at home but will he spend the money on Pampers or some krunk juice? Pop yo’ collar!

Chelsea Keeper :

Yet another man to see a home defeat this weekend and it was made all the worse as he only scored 11 (0). Dave Nicklin “stand up/pogo/take of yer shoes if you love P-A-S!”

Correct Score of the Week :

Nothing unique this week so Ben A is still clutching that Lady…lots o’ peeps got Wigan – Man U, Arsenal, Dundee U – Celtic (amazingly!) and Plymouth – Derby.

Bet of the Week :

Week 3 winner Jamie S had a dismal week all round (see table later) as his Reading 1 Chelsea 1 punt fell by the wayside thanks to a goal line clearance in the last minute. £5 down again and next up is the T-Dogg (woof!)

Some Fings :

Why does Gary Teale wear contact lenses?? He hasn’t got any eyes! Just hollows that make Nick Skelington look like Marty Feldman…

Why was Ronaldo’s showboat goal for Portugal ruled out in the week?? That cost me seven points mate…

Why didn’t I check I had 1-2 and not 1-3 before cheering on that Norwegian poxy pixie paperboy on Saturday morning?

And why did I also change my Kilmarnock and Motherwell scores as well? I could’ve been a contender! I could have been somebody!

Sorry. I’m glad I listened to Mark J Brown’s wild generalisation that “Plymouth win ALL their home games 3-1”. Not only eight points in the bag but I lumped on @ 20/1 too! A right touch!

Cheers,
Pab
