Congrats to Shaun Backhouse on winning the PAS Cup a year on from being a runner up – Shaun pockets £100 whilst Nick H will surely be happy with £50 for his troubles…

News of the PAS Champions League Groups draw will be with you soon and I’ll be asking a few of you to take part in the beta testing of the putting the scores up directly onto the web page – so watch this space!

Cheers,
Pab

Hola!

Going into the last game, Shaun Backhouse needs any other score than Barca 1 Man Yoo 0 to take the Cup back to Syndicate Towers…

Just one point separates the finalists and Nick Hogwood forgot to enter a full time score for Stoke v Man City AND play his joker – duh!

Cheers,
Pab

Scoresheets back to me by 12.14 on Saturday please…

PAS Cup QF draw was made by Frankie Fernandez (whilst simultaneously watching “Charlie Bear”…)

“Home” players don’t forget to play your JOKER and flag it up nice n clearly please!

Cheers,
Pab

Hola!

You don’t even begin to know how much that Orient goal has done my swede in! They got a replay, I was robbed of one…! Congrats to all the winners – they will be in the hat for the Quarter Finals draw… Frankie Fernandez again doing the honours.

Best Joker:

6 players using Man City or Leicester got 2 points where those two choosing Arsenal & QPR could only grimace!

Best Score:

Simon Lindsay 34 (4)

Worst Score:

Tony Bowley 15 (1)

Narrowest Winning Margin:

Nick Hogwood v Pab – 1(0) – Nick’s name must be on the Cup, that’s two rounds he’s won by a point now!

Biggest Winning Margin:

Neil Templeton v Will Oppong – 8(3)

Biggest score not to go through:

Jason Morris 32 (4) – the Morris curse strikes again!

Lowest score to go through:

Charlie Harris 18(1)

Cheers,
Pab

Ties of the round include the “syndicate” derby and the “Forest” derby (he he – see what I did there!)

“Home” teams, remember to play your “Joker” and please make it VERY evident which game you’re selecting (e.g. JJJJJJ)

Cheers,
Pab

Hola!

Don’t even begin to tell me about “the greatest comeback in the history of the universe”, I know and have been told over and over and I’m still speechless…

Anyway, a fine Cup week – 2nd leg results and aggregate scores attached – all the winners will be in the hat for the 2nd round draw tomorrow… Frankie Fernandez again doing the honours.

Highest aggregate score:

Michelle Fernandez 63(12) – she’s already complained about the fact there’s no weekly prize on offer – oops!

Lowest aggregate score:

Stephen Street 31 (2) – plenty to cheer about despite a defeat in the Geordie derby!

Best joker:

Will Oppong – Man City 3-0 (10 points) – how apt…

1st leg defeat turnarounds:

Dave Crisp, Michelle Fernandez & Sam Arora

Narrowest winning margin:

Nick Hogwood v Mark Fawke – 1(1)

Biggest winning margin:

Shaun Backhouse v Rich Lee – 20(6)

Tony Morris 53 (7)

Lowest aggregate score to go through:

Will Oppong 40(1)

Pab

Hola!

Quite an eventful weekend eh?! Our own Cup competition is proving equally interesting – an absolute ding dong thriller in the Universal Records derby, a couple of let offs for those who didn’t get a scoresheet in, including the Geordie derby and everything to play for in most of the other ties. Jason M carries the biggest lead into the 2nd leg games and there were hi and lo scores from Simon Lindsay & Dan Pelgrom respectively…

2nd leg scoresheets – back to me by 19.44 on Friday 4th Feb please!

Cheers,
Pab

Hey!

I’m gonna run out of spooter badges at this rate…

Well done to Matt Gingell & Drazic Fawke for pointing out no matter how good/bad/staffed both PNE and QPR are, they can’t play two games in one day at the same time!

Definitive scoresheet attached – if you’ve sent yours in already, you better do it again!

Cheers, I can’t wait for this week to be over!

Pab

Hola!

First spotter badge of the season goes to Nick Hogwood – as he quite rightly points out, the first game is on Friday evening at 19.45…

Cheers,
Pab (it wouldn’t be PAS without the odd ricket or seven now would it?!)

Dear PASers,

Just to clarify, the scoresheet only needs to be filled in and sent back by the people listed on the Cup draw.

If you’re not involved in the Cup, why not fill in the scoresheet anyway, print it off, check it and use it as a pre-season friendly to find your form before the big PASL13 Spring 11 kick off on February 12…

Cheers,
Pab

PS – Cup people at home in the 1st leg – don’t forget your joker!

Here’s the sketch in case you’re not au fait with Cup weeks…

• There is NO weekly prize for the P-A-S Cup rounds!
• As in the proper Cup, a home draw is a big advantage.
• Home “teams” can select any one of the 30 games to play a “JOKER”.
• Indicate your selection by marking a “JJJ” next to one of the team names on the scoresheet (e.g. Arsenal JJJJ)
• If you score any points on this selection they will be DOUBLED.
• You will be playing against the person you have drawn – the aim is to beat their score and progress to the next round and so on until the Final in May.
• These scores DO NOT count towards the Lucky 13 Spring 2011 league – UNLESS the Cup rounds & League weeks coincide (2nd round to Semi Finals)
• If you score DOUBLE points on a Cup/League week, your “double” score will NOT count in the League – just plain ol’ single points there I’m afraid!

Dates for your diaries, PAS Cup Weeks…

• 1st round 1st leg – 29/30 Jan 11
• 1st round 2nd leg – 5/6 Feb 11
• 2nd round – 19/20 Feb 11
• Quarter Finals – 12/13 Mar 11

Cheers,
Pab
