“Love Games”:

You’re gonna miss the derby and you’re gonna miss the semi so surely some solace was to be found by Danny Ashworth 43(8) in winning this week’s £20?! Then up popped Demba Ba – dilemma over. Double winner! (unlike RVP….)

“Hot Water”:

Seems de rigueur to have an appalling week alongside someone equally appalling this season – staying on trend are Felix Hines & Stephen Street 10(0)

Correct Score of the Week:

Honestly, I give up… most popular score was Tottenham’s 1-2 win in Swansea – 22 of you got that!

6 got Derby’s 3-0 win at Pride Park, 4 got the Arsenal’s 4-1 in Ashburton Grove & 9 got the 0-3 between The Dee & The Dossers.

Paul V / Ryan G / Gareth M got Forest’s 2-2 with Brighton, Julian F & Howard T got Peterborough 2 Cardiff 1 and Neil O & Dan H nailed Man City’s mauling of the Toon…

Louise B got Ipswich’s 3-0 win over Dirty Leeds and Simon Linds got Fulham 3-2 QPR.

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Mahli Gupta for his 9 point inspired, Charlton 3 Bolton 2.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.8 & Tony Bowley managed to get 3 out of 5 right but not in an order to win any money… bah!

Next up is No.23. Hello Jon Tofeili!

Table News:

“Standing In The Light”:

No change at the top as Paul Campbell stays put taking an 11 point lead over Mark S as the “Geordie Stephen” mafia disappear leaving James C a further 5 points behind in third. Ryan G crashes the Top Ten at five.

“Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind”:

Harry Birkner stays bottom now fourteen points behind Mark J B who in turn is a further 4 points off Savan A…

Maybe some sunshine & warmth will help my predicting abilities…

Pab

“Instinction”:

Being a head honcho is sometimes kudos enough, but being a head honcho & bringing home the bacon really justifies your lofty position. So, “Syndicate”, Mark Seels 45 (8) will be laying claim to that title this week after winning £20 for your cause – all courtesy of his faith in England not being head honchos in Group H…

“The Freeze”:

…however, it could be worse. Playing at “being Scotland” this week are Rowan Marriott & Norman Lee 12(0).

Correct Score of the Week:

Damn those late late goals… most popular score was Croatia’s 1-2 win in Cardiff – 30 of you got that!

24 got Holland’s 3-0 win in Estonia, 17 got the 0-3 in Borat-land & 11 got the 2-2 between the Magyars & the Vampires

5 got France’s 3-1 with Georgia, five more got Swindon 0 Notts County 0 and another nap hand landed Luxembourg 0 Azerbaijan 0.

Neil O & Rob C got Bosnia’s 3-1 win over Hellas and Jason M/Sam A/Stuart L got Sweden 0 -0 Eire.

Dumas H got Poland 1 Ukraine 3 & John S got Eire 2 Austria 2.

However, this week’s best correct score, and new best correct of the season, goes to Ryan Brady for his three lions inspired & now PAS folklore, San Marino 0 England 8 (EIGHT).

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.55. John Street didn’t send us anything so that’s another £3 on BotW slot 67th then… next up is No.8. Hello Tony Bowley!

Table News:

“Chant No.1”:

All change at the top as Paul Campbell storms to the top taking a 6 point lead ahead of Mark S as the “Geordie Stephen” mafia’s stranglehold is broken leaving Stephen P a further 3 correct scores behind in third. Kate H crashes the Top Ten at ten.

“To Cut A Long Story Short”:

Harry Birkner stays bottom now twelve points behind Mark J B who in turn is a further 2 points off Mahli G…

Cheers,
Pab

Hola!

First off, we had loads of 0-7s and one 0-9 – ooooooooh one out! However, we did have a 0-8…

Two young ladies on 30 points are leading the way and one poor lad is marooned on 8 points (after seeing his 0-7 scuppered!)

Full Week 8 round up after the final 7 games are played (weather permitting!)

Week 9 starts early(ish) again this week with some Good Friday fixtures kicking off at 3pm (sacrilege!)

It’s also the Champions League QF 2nd leg, so could all the other 3 quarter finalists remember to play a “Joker”!

Cheers,
Pab

“Just Like Honey”:

I think you’d agree it was a top weekend for Man Utd & Arsenal. It was a double good weekend then for Paul Henshaw & Felix Hines 27(5) who both managed to win the weekly £20 prize between them with possibly the lowest winning score ever! A tenner it is each chaps, maybe you can buy your Citeh & Sp*rs friends a pint…

“Darklands”:

Obviously a week of doubles, good & bad. Very bad for Michelle Fernandez & Nick Hogwood 8(0) who bring shame upon their family name, that frankly, just shouldn’t be tolerated, eh Dan? ;-)

Correct Score of the Week:

Imagine tumbleweed rolling past your vista… most popular score was Wigan’s last gasp 2-1 win at the DW – 17 of you got that!

9 got the 0-0 at the Britannia.

James C & Andy C got Villa’s 3-2 with QPR.

Howard T got Huddersfield’s 1-2 win over Dirty Leeds and Francesca F got Barnsley 1-0 Watford. Steve M got Ipswich 1 Bolton 0. Rich L got Middlesbrough 0 Birmingham City 1.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Louise B for her Tesco bag inspired, Brighton 3 Palace 0.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.26 & Mark Seels quite rightly predicted his own ineptitude…next up is No.55. Hello John Street!

Table News:

“Reverence”:

Stephen Peaston stays top 1 point ahead of Stephen S as the Geordie Stephen mafia’s stranglehold on the Top 2 is loosened off. Paul Cam & James C are a further 3 points behind in third. Sam A crashes the Top Ten at nine.

“Far Gone & Out”:

Harry Birkner stays firmly rooted to the bottom now a mere ten points behind Nick H who in turn is a further point adrift of Savan A (oh, brother where art you…)

“Sometimes Always”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places are Felix Hines & Paul Henshaw – honourable mentions go to Julian F (+15), Rich L (+15) & Francesca F (+15).

“Half Way To Crazy”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 20 places is Michelle Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Gareth M (-17), Dan P (-19) and Scott H (-19).

No reminders until Thursday night folks – I’ll be awash in German beer til then!

“Another Sunny Day”:

Is it irony that a Man Yoo fan benefits from a massive City win? No coincidence then that 9 points should win you the £20 weekly prize! Step up James Challinor 37 (6) – no doubt the “syndicate” will come calling soon…

“She’s Losing It”:

It looks like the initial success of the Huddersfield hothousing in PAS techniques has come to a shuddering halt – Kate Hopper 5 (0) will have to go back to basics after this shocker!

Correct Score of the Week:

You were lovin those zero-zeros this week… most popular score was Villa’s McDermott ruining 1-2 win at Madejski – 18 of you got that!

6 got the 2-2 at Selhurst Park and 13 got the 3-1 between Nottm Forest & Wolves.

Seven got the stalemate between Crawley & Notts County and four more got another 0-0 at Pittodrie. Eight more got St Mirren 0 Dundee Utd 0 and 9 (NINE) got City’s mauling of Barnsley.Five got Liverpool 3 Spurs 2…

Neil T (again!) got Norwich 0 Southampton 0.

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Nicklin for his Fylde coast inspired, Fleetwood 0 Exeter 0.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.12 & Dan Pelgrom was left rueing Stephen Gerrard’s penalty denying his draw treble… …next up is No.26. Hello Mark Seels!

Table News:

“I’m Not Living in the Real World”:

Stephen Peaston goes top 5 points ahead of Stephen S as the Geordie Stephen mafia keep a stranglehold on the Top 2. Neil O is a further 5 points behind in third. James C crashes the Top Ten at seven.

Cheers,
Pab

“On Fire”:

There’ll be a Universal party this week as PAS debutant Greg Snowdon 40 (5) shrugs off his abject start & plunders his first weekly £20 prize win courtesy of a fine Hibee away Cup win. Slainte!

“If I Ever Feel Better”:

One of the worst footballing weeks ever from my perspective. Arsene continued in his crusade to turn us into Nu-Tottenham as they bale upward and we aspire to finish at least 6th from now on. Then I conspire to register my worst PAS ever, 7 (0). Bieber may have been two hours late this week, but I didn’t even turn up – Ladies & gentlemen, I hate football…

Correct Score of the Week:

I’m sayin’ nish, thank the Lord i gave up betting for Lent… most popular score was Motherwell’s heartbreaker 1-2 win at Tynecastle – 15 of you got that!

10 got the 3-1 at Goodison and 9 (NINE) got the 4-0 between Man U & Norwich.

Dan P/John S/Julian F got Ipswich’s 1 -0 win over Leicester City, Steve M & Greg S got Blackpool’s 0-0 with The Robins and Louise B & Neil T got Brighton’s 4-1 against Huddersfield.

Dumas H got Stoke City 0 West Ham 1 & Craig B got Sunderland’s 2-2 v Fulham

However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season, goes to Greg Snowdon for his Alba inspired, Kilmarnock 2 Hibs 4.

Bet of the Week:

Frankie selected No.67 & Rob Currin was left rueing Charlie Adam’s howitzer crashing off the crossbar denying his draw treble… …next up is No.12. Hello Dan Pelgrom!

Table News:

“Second To None”:

Stephen Street stays top 4 points ahead of Stephen P as the Geordie Stephen mafia take hold. Paul Cam is a further 4 points behind in third as he crashes the Top Ten…

All you lovely Sp*rs people that sent me “mind the gap” images, wasn’t it this time last year 7 points was the difference? Lightning to strike twice?! The 5-2 & 2-1 did…
