Cesc :

He’s still there with a bit more breathing space from Neil T and Danny A – Jazz Sian is top by 5 points

Fernando :

He’s still there but breathing down the neck of Danielle F and Ben A – Neil Birchall is bottom by 7 points

Kolo :

Highest climber this week is Richard Lee up a just-short-of-the-top-ten leap of 22 places to 11th – fellow climbers are Mark G (+10), Janine R (+20), Barrie R (+13) and Matt G (+10)

Sami :

Falling furthest this week is Clare Nevin down a whats-happened-to-my-football-knowledge?-is-it-cos-I’m-concentrating-on-my-wedding-next-year-and-getting-distracted drop of 18 places to 49th – fellow fallers are Stephen P (-11), Greg E (-11), Will O (-13) and Michelle F (-14)

Marmite :

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

Spotters :

Current residents are 14th – Mark S (+4), 17th – Lisa G (-2), 23rd – Stephen P (-11), 33rd – Simon L (+4), 39th – Mark F (+3), 46th – Ciaran Mc G (-8), 58th – Paul W (+4) and 64th – Ben A (non mover)

Cup 2007 :

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

Cheers,
Pab

Young Guns :

You would’ve got this last night but a certain Man Yoo fan only sent his scores to my work address… anyway, this week’s winner is Rich Lee 42 (8) who must surely come under some scrutiny seeing as he plays for Watford and therefore influence last nights result – hmmm, dunno, we’ll look into it with Aidy… £20 coming your way Rich, no doubt spends for new shinpads or a Nick Cave make up kit.

Club Tottenham Ha Ha :

Bless her. My niece, Danielle Fleming, wants to play with the big boys at football and then she racks up a pure girl score of 6(0). Still not as bad as Jon A’s score a few weeks ago though…

Correct Score of the Week :

16 of you got the nailed on 3-0 that is Celtic, amazingly, 5 got Man U 4 Boro 1 and Mark S & Barrie R got Burnley 2 Southampton 3. No unique correct score this week. Rubbish really.

Bet of the Week :

Danny A stepped up and duly failed with the 7 team acca – we’re now £20 down but have Richard L to guide us to profit in Week 8. If you took my hint, you’d have got your money back with Blue Sq!

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week :

Is Liverpool the only city in Britain where organised extortion is positively encouraged? Fair play though, it cost 50p to have your car “looked after” in 1983 and today it’s only a quid!

Yes, I’m a tw*t – short n sweet again I’m afraid…

Too Good:

Danny Ashworth 38 (7)

Too Bad:

Tim Birtwisle 9 (0)

Best Correct Score:

no one this week – 6 got W Ham, Phil C / Ciaran McG / Andy C got Bristol City and Nick H / Jazz S / Dave C got the Toon

Week 7 scoresheets in by 12.44 on Saturday.

It didn’t really matter that I couldn’t update earlier on time as some people still haven’t grasped sending their scoresheet to two e-dresses (all remedied on Nov 30 as we finish here at the Guardian, so it will be to my personal e-dress only then – I’ve got a new job by the way – start in Jan, Dec off – yay!) Oh, and please send your scores back as a “.doc” cos I can’t open them otherwise!

Cheers,
Pab

PS

all back to normal next week – promise

PPS

looks like we’ve got a real title battle this year as Jazz has been reeled in over the last few weeks

PPPS

Danny A – you’re on BotW duty!

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.
