PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’23 Week 2 round up

Double bubble!

 

 

 

Fine Time:

If you felt like you had a good chance of winning this week (yes, Frankie did her own scores this week…), you probably felt about right!

It was a scrunched-up week with 11 punters scoring over thirty points and they were all vying for the £20 prize right to the end…

Nick H, Gareth M, Hira Y and Deepak B were all within striking distance but just failed for too many reasons for me to list here (soz).

That left two out front – one benefitting from late goals at West Ham & Fulham and the other from a 90th minute 3rd for Rangers.

However, it was a 102nd minute miss that took from one and gave to another.

Andy Fowler & Neil Templeton 37 (6) share the spoils this week as Olly Watkins saved Andy the four points he predicted, and, denied Neil the four points he needed to claim victory for himself…

 

Wowsers.

 

Congrats chaps – a tenner each coming your way…i’d stick it on young Oliver scoring on his England debut!

 

 

 

 

Blue Monday:

Meanwhile…

 

Fifteen players scored 15 points or less at the other end.

9 didn’t register a correct score.

One didn’t break double figures.

 

Danny Ashworth 9 (0) must be feeling a bit Brentfordy right now…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bumper week for many…most popular score was Man Utd’s 2-1 win over Brentford – 26 of us got that!

 

 

Fifteen banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Brighton & Liverpool

12 had Celtic’s 3-1 win over Kilmarnock

Eleven got Brighton’s “Desmond” with Liverpool

10 had the very annoying last minute spoiling Fulham 3 Sheff Utd 1

Ten more just knew St Mirren wouldn’t score against Rangers for a 0-3

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

Seven nailed Millwall 2 Hull 2

6 got the dull-all at Hillsborough

David G, Sam O & Lily T had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Selhurst Park

Ben McK & Deepak B nabbed the form book upsetting Everton 3 Bournemouth 0

Norman L had Wrexham to keep a clean sheet for a o-1 at Crawley

Bijay L put us all to shame by predicting Southampton 1 Rotherham 1

Dom W lapped up the late show joy of Arsenal 1 Man City 0

David G (again) got the 1-3 Swansea win over Plymouth

Martin S turned up Aberdeen 0 St Johnstone 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stephen Peaston for his I’m-still-buzzing-about-that-PSG-drubbing-so-i’m-going-with-mad-scores inspired, Burnley 1 Chelsea 4!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Gary Mitchell was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

It was a no-show – maybe Phil & Grant “advised” against gambling…

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – very acceptable, me thinks…

 

 

Stuart Fitzsimon is at 60th this week….

 

Fitz, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Bon chance!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

True Faith:

All change at the top, Gareth Morgan goes all Spursy opening a lead of 2 points ahead of Frankie F who, in turn, is two points ahead of Pawan GC in third…

 

 

Four crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Shellshock:

All change at the bottom, Darren McCarthy slides to the basement slot, one point behind the inseparable Danny A, Charlie H & Julian F

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Perfect Kiss:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 67 places is Neil Templeton – honourable mentions go to Andy F (+50), Hira Y (+53), Nick H (+56), Deepak B (+62), Predictz (+50), and Norman L (+42).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing But A Fool:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 52 places is Thomas Stafford – dishonourable mentions go to Greg F (-38), John J (-37), Debbie L (-46), Emma T (-38), Elliot D (-36), and Chris D (-39)
