PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 13 round up

“Facts”

 

Shake Your Money:

Ooops, just a bit late this week – blame the NLD.

I was at a play that Frankie was in on Sunday afternoon and only just caught up with the game at White Hart Lane – blame the drama kids.

Anyway, it was quite an unremarkable PAS week considering only 11 people managed more than thirty points!

Chris D, Charlie H & Damian W went close but they couldn’t halt old skooler Danny Ashworth 41 (7) who basically has VAR at Villa to thank for the final weekly £20 prize!

Congrats Danny boy –  gonna keep that money to buy yourself a pint at Wembley on May 25th?!

 

 

 

In The Name Of The Father:

Probably wishing they were late this week, are the eighteen bods who couldn’t rustle up more than 15 points this week.

Twelve didn’t get a correct score.

Matt Worsfold 10 (0) spared Simon Linds & me the final “shame” of the season…

Gracias me ol’ china!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bravo!…most popular score was Huddersfield’s 1-1 draw with Birmingham City– 22 of youse got that!

 

Twelve nailed Villa 2 Chelsea 2

12 more basked in the ecstasy of Spurs 2 Arsenal 3

Six just knew PNE wouldn’t score against Leicester for a 0-3

4 obviously guessed Hibs would beat St Johnstone 1-3

Martin S, Chris D & Mike K got the dull-all at Rugby Park

Ben H, Dave C & Andy B had the “Desmond” between West Ham & Liverpool

Neil O, Matthew M & Damian W stumbled upon Newcastle Utd 5 Sheffield Utd 1

Neil C & Hira Y snaffled up the 5 points on offer for Norwich City 2 Swansea City 2

Andy C & Martin S (again) made short work of the 0-0 at Blackburn Rovers

Ryan G believed in Citeh, a 0-2 belief…

Reagon K saw his typo come good on the game at Southampton

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Chris Dixon for his trust-me-here’s-the-last-best-score-of-the-season inspired, Hull City 3 Ipswich Town 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Martin Stafford was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the final £3 “trixie” bet of the season.

 

And guess what?!

 

So close to a fitting ending!

 

“BotW…. I asked my boys to pick it. They forgot. So both teams to score championship special.

Hull City v Ipswich
Sheff Weds v West Brom
Cardiff v Middlesbrough
We don’t bet on darts in the age of Littler – he is the destroyer of value returns….”
Only WBA let us down by failing to score at lowly Wednesday so, I for one, hope they miss out on the playoffs…

 

So, £1.90 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £1.90 – scant consolation for missing out on PAS CL qualification (not that i’d know about that…)
