PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’19 Week 4 round up

“Ooooh, you are awful…”

 

Everything Goes My Way:

Did you see how well Theo Walcott played on Saturday?!

Only taken him 14 years to kick start his potential then…

And, gallingly, it seemed to inspire those around him.

Gilfi for one.

His 92nd goal early on Saturday ultimately compounded my miserable weekend of sport.

Ireland got unceremoniously dumped out of the World Cup to start it and Arsenal whimpered into submission in Sheffield to end it.

Oh, and I didn’t win the weekly £20 prize either. By a correct score just to rub it in.

Just when you need Everton not to score and Man City to surely add a third at Palace…

Young debutant Sam O put in a good shout as did James C, but in a week where only 6 players got over 30 points, Kate Slee 34 (7) put good use to her “manager” not observing the PAS “technical area” to slip past the post first…

Bravo Pete Kate, the girl done good!

 

 

The Upsetter:

With correct scores at a premium, a quarter of the field failed to register more than fifteen points this week.

So, a collective shocker then.

Seven didn’t get a much-coveted four pointer and 4 players didn’t even reach double figures!

Bry D, Jason M and Paul H can all thank Patricia Fernandez 7 (0) for sparing their blushes…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I bloomin’ hate last minute goals …most popular score was Villa’s thrilling last minute 2-1 win over Brighton – 29 of us got that!

 

Eight revelled in the schadenfreude of Arsenal’s poor poor showing in Sheffield

6 banked the five point 2-2 betwixt Blackburn & Huddersfield

Matt W, Mike K & Nick W made us all green by happening upon Hull 2-3 QPR

Howard T & Sam O (welcome!) got the 0-3 Granite City win at Motherwell

Will O got the one-all at Tynecastle

Tim P doffed a cap to Luton’s 3-0 deconstruction of Brizzle City

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Mike Krasnowski for his whatever-Scottish-hammering-Aussies-get-I-can-do-better inspired, Celtic 6 Ross County 0!

 

Bet of the Week:

Jazz S 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?!

He delivered – this is going well this season!

 

 

Leicester to beat Burnley – yay (thanks VAR!)

 

Wolves to beat Southampton – nay (Who is Danny Ings anyway?)

 

WBA to beat Boro – yay (adios Jonthano!)

 

 

So, £2.35 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th –  foundation…

 

 

Harry H, Alex T & Greg F are 65th this week….but Greg Fleming was out the hat first!

 

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

 

Can we get a clean sweep?

 

 

Table News:

 

The Look”:

James Challinor moves up 3 places to go 1 point ahead of Kate S who in turn is eight points ahead of El Presidente in third (yes, me!!!)

Heartbreaker”:

And Another Thing:

Unai.

What are you doing amigo?

Granit? Kolasniac? Luiz? Sokratis? Not to mention that disaster called Pepe! Who agreed to pay £72m for him? Was it a typo on £7.2? Can we send him back under the trade description act? He’s making Gervinho look like Garrincha

Come on senor, get Hector, Keiran, Rob, Lucas & Laca on from the start and kick start the season, si?
