Pigs Might Fly:

A joint effort from Tony Bowley & Rich Lee 34 (6) stopped Dave C claiming his 4th weekly win courtesy of 2 correct scores. £10 each then chaps – Tony B will no doubt buy a bottle of “we’re-staying-up” cava and Rich L a bottle of the “we’re-not-going-to-win-the-league” variety…

Swine Flu:

A miserable weekend all round for familia Fernandez as Francesca Fernandez 15 (1) was joined by her dad (still suffering a PAS Cup semi hangover) and John McSherry (still suffering a proper Sunday League Cup Final hangover)

Correct Score of the Week:

No one got the 5-2… Four got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving QPR and Plymouth. Gareth M & Matt W got the two-two between Leicester & Scunthorpe and Jason M/Matt D/Rich L got Southampton 2 Burnley 2. Eight got Rangers 3 St Mirren 0, five got Liverpool’s 1-3 at Hull, and four got Brentford’s title clinching 1-3 v Darlo. This week’s Best Correct Score accolade goes to Tony Smith for his Birmingham 1 PNE 2.

Bet of the Week:

Jon Allin’s “awayday” treble was left wanting do we go into the final week £25 down – only a double header can save us now…come on down Tony B & Rich L!

Table News:

Top Hole:

back to the top goes Dave Crisp carrying a five point advantage over Jason M in second place going into the final week. Jamie T is another six points behind with an outside chance of winning the title…

The Well:

He’s off the bottom! Matt W has a majestic week leaving Mr 2-0 in his wake and firmly bottom of the pile – hooray! Let’s keep him there Will O et al…

Getting There:

Highest climber this week is Tony Bowley up 6 places to 22nd. Honourable mentions for Tony S (+4) and Rich L/Shaun B (+5)

Tailing Off:

Falling furthest this week is Francesca Fernandez down 8 places to 20th – dishonourable mentions for Greg E/Nick H/Ben H/John McS (-4) and Jamie S (-6).

PAS Cup:

Congrats to Jazz Sian and Lisa Grey on their semi final victories last week – the winner will be decided on May 27-30.

And Another Thing:

It’s going to be a long long summer from next Monday…

Cheers,
Pab

Sweets From A Baby:

If there was any doubts about the 0-0 points changing next season they were firmly put to rest as Jon Allin 41(4) cynically exploited the loop hole and benefited to take his second weekly win of the season – little Francesca F was so upset at finishing second she cried herself to sleep not even finishing her bottle…

Sour Times:

A miserable weekend all round for familia Fernandez as Julian Fernandez 9 (0) clocked up his second worst score of the week for the season

Correct Score of the Week:

No one got the 6-0… Nine got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving Middlesbro and Fulham, 6(!) got 9 points from Ipswich 3 – Norwich 2 and another 4 got 8 points from Dundee U v Kilmarnock – David G / Jamie T / Jon A chipped in for a big bonus by nailing Man Utd 0 Everton 0. Scott A & Richard H got the Hibs 2 Rangers 3 and Richard H & Neil T got Leeds’s 3-1 v Tranmere. Frankie F & her dad got the two-two between Charlton & Blackpool, Jason M got Falkirk 0 Hearts 0 and Jon A got the 0-0 at the Madejski. This week’s Best Correct Score goes to Jazz Sian for his Man City 4 WBA 2 – in a normal season, nailed on for best correct score of the season, but we’ve had that St Mirren one, haven’t we!

Bet of the Week:

Arsene picked the wrong team so we lost this week and are now £20 with 2 weeks to go – Jon A, got any 0-0s for us to bet on???!

Surging to the top, Jason Morris has a two point lead over Jamie T. Dave C falls to third a further 3 points behind…

PAS Cup:

Both semi finals were decided by the 90th goals at Ipswich and Man City

And Another Thing:

Cheers,
Pab

Macbeth:

Very much seeing the woods from the trees, our very own “Bard of PAS” Mark Shakespeare 31(4) won this week’s £20 just seeing off Neil T & Tony B. Would you believe he got all the Scottish scores right too? Well he didn’t…

McDuff:

Oh William it was really nothing… actually it was 13(0) for Will Oppong – off with his head!

Correct Score of the Week:

A Fernandez family fare this week… Six got 5 points from Wolves v Southampton and another 6 got 5 points from Rangers – Motherwell… – li’l Frankie F got the only nil-nil this week between Charlton & Birmingham and yours truly got the 3-1 at the Riverside. However, this week’s Best Correct Score goes to Julian Fernandez for his Liverpool 4 Blackburn 0. Good boy!

Bet of the Week:

Yay! We won! Crispy’s acca netted £25 so now we’re only £15 in the red with three weeks to go – Mark S, over to you…

Table News:

And Another Thing:

Mr 2-0 could finish bottom – c’mon Will!

Cheers,
Pab

Angstgegner:

He doesn’t wear one, but he’s just performed a trick with one… Dave Crisp 44 (7) records his third weekly win this season (the first person to do so in 20 years!) just edging out Jon T, Tony B and Matt G in another high scoring week – well done Crispy, that’s paid for all your ticket when we go to Anfield to scupper another title dream in that ’89 kit…

Bauernspitz:

Hardly a “poor” score but Francesca Fernandez 16 (2) managed to end up bottom of the pile this week and at the same time bring the family name into disrepute. Bed with no tea for you girl!

Correct Score of the Week:

You we’re al over the stalemates… Nine got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving QPR and Crystal Palace, 9 got 8 points from Hull v Portsmouth and another 8 got 8 points from Coventry – Reading – nine others chipped in for a big bonus by nailing Celtic 4 Hamilton 0. Nine got the last gasp Cardiff 2 Swansea 2 and 5 got Heart’s 3-1 v Kilmarnock. Tony S & Richard H got the two-two between Dundee U & Hibs and Louise B & Ben H got the “6 pointer” at the Hawthorns. This week’s Best Correct Score goes to Matt Gingell for his Man Utd 3 Aston Villa 2 – in a normal season nailed on for best correct score of the season, but we’ve had that St Mirren one, haven’t we!

Bet of the Week:

Mr Crisp’s tip could only manage 7th in the National (did I tell you I had Mon Mome on the spreads?!) but hopefully it will be third time lucky for Crispy (and us!) cos we bloomin’ well need it!

Table News:

Bauerntrick:

Dave Crisp goes into top spot with a 6 point lead over Jason M – Jamie T is a further 4 points behind in 3rd and is now only 5 points away from his brother…

Drinking in Islington on an empty stomach – not a good look…

Cheers,
Pab

Wor Alan:

Whoah! Where did that come from?? Shhhurely an April’s Fool! But no! Dave Crisp 60 (10) really did record the second highest weekly score ever (and from a man who can get the lowest weekly score too! In the same season! Dontcha just luv PAS?!) A proper “feast” of an international week saw several players record scores of over 40 without a sniff of the £20 – and spare a (small) thought for Shaun B who got 53 points… Well done Crispy, that’s paid for half your ticket when we go to Anfield to scupper another title dream in that ’89 kit…

Scummers:

Hardly a “poor” score but Julian Fernandez 17 (0) managed to end up bottom of the pile this week and at the same time bring the family name into disrepute.

Correct Score of the Week:

EVERYONE had a piece of the action (well, nearly everyone..)

Five of us got THE MOST OBVIOUS 0-0 involving Slovenia and Czech Rep, 12 got 8 points from Germany v Liechtenstein and another 9 got 8 points from Holland – Macedonia – four others chipped in for a bonus by nailing Portugal 0 Sweden 0. Eleven got Malta 0 Denmark 3, 6 got Holland’s 3-0 v Scotland, 4 got the Danes 2nd 3-0 victory and 4 managed to get the historic Czech Rep 1 Slovakia 2 scoreline. Gareth M & Will O got the one-one between Italy & Ireland but this week’s Best Correct Score goes to Mark Seels for his Armenia 2 Estonia 2 (mostly cos it was unique!)

Bet of the Week:

Rob Hathorn’s British/Irish/Iberian acca fell foul thanks to Ireland and Portugal (typical!), so now we’re £35 down and looking to Mr Crisp to come up with a Red Rum..

Table News:

Professor Booty:

Jamie Tofeili stays in top spot now with a 10 points led over Jason M – Dave C is a further 7 points behind in 3rd

“..dictionary definition of the word spastic”:

He’s off the bottom! Anders H now looks down at our ’Appy ’Ammer Matt Worsfold via four whole points and two big places.

Other Stuff:

Danny A deserves a mention for getting an amazing 23 out of 30 results right this week – let’s hope he had a few lines on at the bookies…

And Another Thing:

David Pleat – co-commentator. Why? I did hear that description of Ukraine’s Kurt Cobain correctly didn’t I ??!
