“Play with matches, you get burned…”

Current PAS champ throws down the gauntlet

 

“Little Fluffy Clouds”:

It was a lively Week 3 right up to Sunday evening.

A tightly contested field was bunched together as 14 punters reached & breached the 30 point mark.

Any one of those 14 could have won it.

Then came the goal-fest at The Emirates…

That 9 pointer catapulted John Jennings 42 (6) right to the top, and the 2 goal West Ham haul on Monday made sure he kept a grip on the weekly £20 prize.

Well done Mr Jennings – it could be argued that the only scoreline you failed to predict on coming up trumps and that 90th minute Swansea goal was the real difference for you, but y’know…<winking emoji>

 

 

 

“Back Side Of The Moon”:

Oooof!

Over a third of the runners and riders failed to notch up more than 20 points this week.

Eight of those suffered the ignominy of collecting zero correct scores…

Those feeling the pain particularly pressing?

Gary McCarthy & Ric Pardoe 10 (0) kept each other company – and shared the blushes.

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wowsers …most popular score was Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat of Spurs– 25 of us got that!

Fifteen were grateful for the 3-1 Celtic win over Kilmarnock

9 doffed a cap to Wolves’ 3-0 deconstruction of Norwich

Eight got Man Yoo’s 3 goal demolition of Watford

8 more believed in Swansea. A 3-1 kinda belief…

Six had Charlton’s 3-1 “Paul Walsh derby” win over Luton

5 banked the five point 2-2 betwixt Brentford & Blackburn

Five more said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Arsenal 3-2 Everton

Martin S, Paul C & Dom W turned up Hamilton 0 Motherwell 0. Then sobbed a little bit as they thought of those 2,531 poor souls who were actually there.

Norman L & Reagon K made us all green by happening upon Burnley 3-0 Bournemouth

Danny A nabbed the form book upsetting Leicester City 0 Manchester City 1

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rowan Marriott for his I-did-my-scores-whilst-running-38-miles-whilst-carrying-my-youngest-whilst-moving-house inspired, Birmingham City 3 Sheffield Wednesday 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Norman Lee was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

We didn’t get a reply!

 

 

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – decent start to be fair!

 

 

Jamie Sellers is at 45th this week….

 

Mr Baba Louey, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld”:

“Outlands”:

Ric Pardoe plummets nine places to the basement slot – two points behind Frankie F who, in turn, is 6 points away from Chris B…

 

 

“Perpetual Dawn”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 49 places is Scott Harrison – honourable mentions go to Paul H (+41), John J (+41), Jerry S (+41), Tony M (+36), Neil T (+33), Predictz (+30) and Andy C (+30)

 

“Supernova At The End Of The Universe”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 33 places is Chris Dixon – dishonourable mentions go to Gary McC (-32), Bry D (-30), Dave N (-30), Olly O (-28), Gareth M (-28), Glynn F (-27), Dan W (-26) and David G (-25)

“raise your hand if you think you understand, raise your standards if you don’t..”

 

“Come Home (The Andy Weatherall Mix)”:

An awful week all round then…

Even in PAS.

It was a proper bunfight to be the best of a bad bunch in Week 2.

Twenty four of us got over 20 points in a week that saw the 30 point barrier remaining intact for probably the first time ever?

Lily T showed her dad that she’s stepped up to the plate her mum vacated this season with vim & vigour.

Hira Y is basically doing a Leicester of 2016.

If Leicester were in fact, well, Notts County.

But heading up the trio who got nearest to flirting with thirty was our exile in Oz, Paul Carter 27 (5).

Mr C has Ross County’s 94th-minute equaliser to thank for edging out Mr Y and securing the twenty nicker.

I think that’s the definition of a flaming galah.

Not certain though…

 

 

“Raise (63 Steps to Heaven) [Redskin Rock Mix]”:

18 poor souls got zero correct scores.

A terrible week all round then…

Lightened only by the fact that Mr 2-0 5(0) and his followers were bottom of the pile.

Yep, scant consolation that…

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Barren…most popular score was Ross County’s 1-1 draw with St Johnstone – 27 of youse got that!

 

Seven got WBA’s “Desmond” with Forest

6 had the very annoying last minute spoiling Aston Villa 2 Spurs 3

Four landed on the two-two in Edinburgh. The wrong side of Edinburgh…

Justin C & Nick W nailed Rotherham 2 AFC Wimbledon 2

Ben H was all over the 1-0 to the ‘Gers

Sam A was well away with the 0-1 away win for Liverpool

Paul C got the dull-all at Molineux

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Chris Dixon for his whey-aye-man-i’m-alreet-pet inspired, Cardiff 2 Wigan 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Kate Slee was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 1 so we asked her to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

We didn’t get a reply!

 

 

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – decent start to be fair!

 

 

Norman Lee is at 33rd this week….

 

Mr Lee, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please!

 

 

 

Table News:

 

“Soon (The Andrew Weatherall Mix)”:

Hira Yonzan will be delirious with joy as he moves up 2 places to go 8 points ahead of Sam A who in turn is one point ahead of Chris D in third…

 

Four crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

“Abandon (Boys Own Mix)”:

Neil Meredith drops one place to the bottom, two correct scores behind Mr 2-0 and his acolytes

 

 

“Weekender (Audrey Is A Little Bit More Partial Mix)”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 61 places is Lee Ford – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+46), Ryan G (+48), Gareth M (+46), Jamie S (+47), Moi (+51) and John J (+50)

 

“Only Love Can Break Your Heart (A Mix In Two Halves)”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 48 places is Sam Craig – dishonourable mentions go to Neil O (-34), Samantha P (-30), Angelo H (-41), Will O (-35), Matt W (-38), David G (-31), Bijay L (-41) and Andy F (-45)

“Head the ball…”

 

“Firesmoke”:

New year, new start ‘n’ all that.

I did my scores from a position of excellent preparation, plenty of research and a knowing that it’d be a week that would go as it ought to go…

It didn’t.

So apologies for the lateness of this update – i’ve been in shock. And in pubs.

Quite a lot of you clearly knew what I didn’t…

Best of the bunch?

Dom Webber 40 (7) deftly manoeuvred, on his debut, to the front of the pack thanks to, well, no last minute dramas basically!

Or VAR interventions.

If you got 30 points or more this week, you were one of 9 – I doff my cap, you jammy…

 

So, congrats Dommo, £20 winging it’s way to you ASAP – you’re already a tenner up!

Always the best week to win it – innit!

 

 

“People’s Faces”:

Did you score more than Mr 2-0 this week?

Wow, I’m in awe…

13 of us couldn’t manage that this week.

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Sheff U though eh?! <horrorfied face>

Six players didn’t manage a correct score and 10 couldn’t muster up a measly 15 points!

One girl wishing she was more “Blades” though is Francesca Fernandez 9 (1).

A woeful start sees her at the bottom of the pile in the opening week – a lesson learnt not to farm out your scores to a “boy that knows about football”…

That’s (not) my girl!

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I’ve got that sinking feeling already…most popular score was Motherwell’s 1-1 draw at St Mirren– 19 of youse got that!

 

Thirteen were all over the 0-3 to the Bhoys

7 had Everton’s 3-1 win over The Eagles

Five thrilled at the thrilling Brentford 3 Middlesbrough 2

4 made us all green by happening upon Hamilton 0-4 Rangers

Dave N, Howard T & Samantha P (welcome!) got the bore draw between Salford & Crawley

Mark S, Kate S & Matthew M celebrated the dull-all at the Pirelli Stadium

Jazz S, Matt W & Darren McC were grateful for the 3-1 Stoke win over Charlton

Howard T (again!) & Bijay L got Colchester 3 Plymouth 0

Paul C secretly said prayers the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Pittodrie

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Mike Krasnowski for his start-as-you-mean-to-go-on inspired, Swansea City 2 Derby County 3!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 11th will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 33rd in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 65th in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 11th…yeah?!

Good.

So, last season’s “leading lady” Kate Slee is first up.

Pete Katy, I need your 3 team treble by Friday please!

No pressure…
