PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’22 Week 13 round up

“Joey de-con-struction…”

 

Chico:

“One child grows up to be, somebody that just loves to learn…”

Another up close and personal week to end the season, with 10 punters breaching the thirty points mark.

But, intrigue came cos it was the “not yer usual” contenders that made the story.

Which probably goes some way to explain the ridiculous scorelines that came in this week….

Rowan M was up there! Ryan G was up there! Howard T was up there! I was in nosebleed territory with a heady 38 points – with a couple of 90th minute goals that made my brain spin and gave licence to dream of a weekly win..

However, opening and closing with 2 x 9 pointers (courtesy of injury time goals in both games to boot!), Greg Fleming 45 (5) stole the show and the booty!

 

Sly moves nephew – you better buy me a beer with that £20!

 

 

Grey Days:

“Come on, everybody get on up, ‘Cause you know we gots to get it crunk…”

Once again, some decent “rubbish” scores at the other end as only five players failed to reach 15 points.

Just 4 didn’t register a correct score with Sam A grtful for the one he did notch!

So, Patricia Fernandez 11 (0) finished bottom yet again as the cavalier attitude to form and league position continues to all but guarantee yet another wooden spoon – I think the next one is gold one!

 

Sorry Mother, that’s more bilge than Blige…

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Yessssssss…most popular score was Blackburn’s 1-2 win at Birmingham – 25 of youse got that!

 

Seven quite rightly predicted City’s 5-0 (oil) slick thrashing of Newcastle

4 bribed Dave & Dan to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the back end and waltzed off with WBA 4 Barnsley 0

Four more thrilled at the thrilling Celtic 4 Hearts 1

Kate S believed in Bournemouth. A 1-0 kinda belief…

Howard T doffed a cap to Wrexham’s 3-0 deconstruction of Stockport County

Howard T (again!) just knew Burnley would score against Villa for a 1-3

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Luke Stafford for his I-always-try-to-finish-on-double-two-even-on-PAS inspired, Chelsea 2 Wolves 2!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Lee Taylor was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

 

It was a “no-show”

 

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on a springy £13.33!

 

 

Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.

Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…but I always say that, don’t I….

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Three crashed the Top Ten.

 

Seems Fine”:  

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places, is Me! – honourable mentions go to Greg F (+10), Howard T (+15), Ryan G (+18), Matthew Stafford (+12) and Andy Kelly (+11)

 

Say Something New:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 17 places, is Sam Arora – dishonourable mentions go to Dom W (-13), and Lily T (-13)

 

 

PAS Cup 2022:

Semi Finals ties went ahead this week…

 

It. Was. Really. Dramatic!

 

We had 1 successful joker! And, amazingly, 1 draw!

Matthew Murphy dispatched Mike K 20 (2) to 15 (0) to take his place in the Final.

But the only successful “joker” of four earned Chris D a draw against Mark S in a 25 (3) all draw!

It went to extra time (9 games on Wednesday) and, amazingly, that ended 12(1) all causing much consternation at PAS Towers.

So, a hastily arranged inaugural penalty shoot out took place last night over 5 very random games (yes, including THAT derby…) –  and Mark Seels emerged the winner by 5(1) – 4 (0).

Now that was a Cup tie!

 

Commiserations to the losers – the £30 should see you right though eh?!)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’22 Week 12 round up

“Oooh, that scouse wit…”

 

Bombtrack:

Jeepers!

Week 12 proved to be one of the best (ever?) PAS weeks in a long long time. It was success across the board and the £20 weekly prize has never felt so well earned!

Twenty five of you scored a sound 30 points or more but the scrap at the top of the pile was mired in injury time joy & pain – a-Maze-ing!

Simon B chipped into the challenge with last minute correct scores thanks to Coventry and Wilf at Southampton, only to find he was undone by Sheff U the night before.

John N saw Palace, Villa and Leicester gift him 13 points at 90+ minutes. Alas, Sheff U and Coventry did for him…

Howard T probably rushed out to put his numbers on as Sheff U (94’), Palace (91’), Villa (93’) and Stoke (94’) netted a hefty 18 last minute points haul. Alas, Coventry’s 91st minute consolation ended that witchcraft…

Martin S crept up on the blind side benefiting from Coventry’s goal but ultimately rueing Sheffield Utd’s 94th minute, totally unnecessary, cherry on the cake third on Friday night.

So, that left our winner ironically cursing Zaha’s 91st minute winner AND that Coventry goal but revelling in an ex-City striker landing a super Sunday 5 points at Spurs in the 91st minute!

Pete Britton 39 (6) you’ve Kelechi Iheanacho to thank for putting you that vital point clear – you know his middle name is Promise, right?!

 

 

Back in the real world where last minute goals ALWAYS go against you (yes, I know I got the Spurs one this week but, really, you should see the list of last minute crimes against good honest correct scores I’ve got written down in RED PEN AND UNDERLINED!) it was a chore as usual.

Five PASers couldn’t get more than 15 points and four people didn’t record a single correct score (imagine!)

On a bum note, bringing up the rear this week is the guitar strumming Rowan Marriott 13 (0).

Roland! You need to get out of your shed, fella!

 

Correct Score of the Week:

My word…most popular score was Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Leicester – 22 of us got that!

 

Twenty got Millwall 3 Peterborough 0

7 lapped up the injury time joy of Middlesbro 3 Stoke 1

Five(!) doffed a cap to City’s 0-4 deconstruction of Dirty Leeds

4 nabbed the form book upsetting Man Utd 3 Brentford 0

Four more got the 1-3 PNE win over Barnsley

Ben McK & Howard T were well away with the 1-3 away win for Sheff U

Nick H & Mike K somehow stumbled on Sheff Wed 4 Portsmouth 1 (how????)

Kate S made us all green by happening upon Newcastle 0-1 Liverpool

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Best Correct Score of the Season, goes to Greg Fleming for his if-I-continue-to-commit-to-mad-scores-then-mad-scores-will happen inspired, Nottingham Forest 5 Swansea City 1!

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Martin Stafford was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

Danny Ashworth was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 11 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Martin’s left field darts selection went West…

Michael van Gerwen to beat James Wade – missed the board

Joe Cullen to beat Gerwyn Price – hit the wire and bounced out

Jonny Clayton to beat Peter wright – bullseye

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on £3 – meh.

 

Danny, on the other hand, smashed in a full house!

“Let’s banish the curse of the early kick off…”

Liverpool to win at Newcastle – tick

Preston to win at Barnsley – tick

Sheff Wed to dispatch Pompey – boom!

So, £10.85 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on £21.42 – finally, the dream for the BotW slot is realised!!

 

Lee Taylor is at 33rd this week….

 

Mr T, I need your 3 team selection by Friday evening, please!

 

Let’s go out as we meant to go on!

 

 

Table News:

 

Freedom:

Ben Hogwood still has top spot, but now only a retrievable (?) 5 points ahead of debutant John N, who in turn is three points clear of Pete B in third…

 

One crashed the Top Ten.

 

 

Know Your Enemy:

Tim Payne slides one place to the bottom, six points behind Joanne McK, who in turn is 2 correct scores off Patricia F

Go on Mum! Show ‘em that Katie Taylor isn’t the only girl from Bray who can scrap!

Ahem.

PAS will be, and always has been, impartial during season time…

 

Take The Power Back:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 21 places is Lily Templeton – honourable mentions go to Martin S (+20), Damian H (+17), Howard T (+14) and Justin C (+15)

 

Wake Up:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 15 places is Chris Dixon – dishonourable mentions go to Dan H (-13), Rob C (-12), Danny A (-10), George T (-10) and Dave C (-10)
