Paradise:

How do you manage to get over 30 points on such a dire week of predicting? Ask Danny Ashworth 31 (6) and spare a little thought for Lisa G who only missed on a second consecutive payout virtue of one less correct score. Well done Danny boy, £20 to savour down the local takeouts of Stalyvegas no doubt!

Oblivious:

How do you manage to get under 10 points on such a dire week of predicting? Ask Dave Crisp 9(0) who crashed and burned a bit like his beloved Gooners – you need backbone son, a backbone! Ask Arsene, he’ll tell ya – what? Oh yeah, sorry, my mistake, he’s as deluded as your scores mate!

Correct Score of the Week:

A great eight got the Irish team’s 1-3 at St Mirren, Anthony L / Glyn W / Danny A got Hull’s 2-2 at Pompey, Michael G (hooray!) & Mark S got West Ham’s 0-1 at SundIreland and Will O was the only player to pick up 8 points off a 0-0 with his Burnley-Doncaster stalemate. This week’s best correct score, however, goes to the luvverly Danielle Fleming for her complete guess at Watford 3 QPR 0. Well done Dando!

Bet of the Week:

We’re now £35.60 down – Lisa G’s sure thing turned out only half sure and done a runner with our fiver – over to you Danny, I know you’ve been champing at the bit and had a couple of “only one team let me down for £300” lately – so here’s your stage!

Table News:

Deep & Wide & Tall:

Jason Morris still heads up the table with an apparent unassailable lead of 15 points. Richard H has a 9 point lead over Jamie S in third

Down The Dip:

Matt Davies has clawed back 7 points to catch up with Neil B and in turn they trail Anthony Y by 7 points

Still On Fire:

Highest climber this week is Anthony Latter up 14 points to 27th. Honourable mentions for Danny A (+8), Dennis McD (+8), Glyn W (+8) and Dan C (+7)

The Crying Scene:

Falling furthest this week is Andrew Darbyshire down 15 points to 36th – dishonourable mentions for Dan R (-14), Matt G (-10), El Presidente (-10), Jon T (-8) and Dave C (-8)

Spot Prizers:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you win these prizes! Rob H is on the promos at 11th(-2), Nick H is at 12th(+3), Greg E on 17th(-5), Anthony L is at 27th (+14), Julian F is at 31st(+1), Dave N is at 33rd(+4), Jamie T is at 42nd(+2), Glyn W is at 52nd(+8), Seb A is at 57th(-1), Michael G is where you wanna be if you’re a loser, on 65th(non mover) and Neil B is at 72nd(-2)

Cup 2009:

to qualify for invitation to the PAS Cup 2009 you will have to finish here at the end of Week 13 – current resident is Martin S (-4)

Other Stuff:

”You will see that despite the deadline passing for the Swansea/Brum match I have included my bona-fide prediction for that match. Having had such a good week last week I needed to maintain the big Mo and what better way to do it than with a feisty Friday evening championship match. Or so I thought… Slight taking of eye off the ball combined with child minding duties and disaster strikes. If any good comes out of my oversight/error it is that others can learn from such folly. Please feel free to use this salutary lesson for me as proof that PAS requires the dedication and respect it cries out for. Yours gutted.” Mark Seels on nailing the 2-3 at Swansea and then having that “oh no!” moment…

And Another Thing:

“I hope you don’t mind but I manually changed the document to reflect the correct name of The Celtic Football Club as I’m sure you’re aware that Glasgow Celtic doesn’t exist. I expect such appalling syntax errors never to happen again. I don’t pay good money into this tournament to have the name of my team made up! London Arsenal or Liverpool Everton anyone?!?” Ciaran McGoldrick gives us a Gaelic history lesson and some natty suggestions… we stand o’corrected!

OMG what a shocker of a week eh?! And that’s just Arsenal…

With one game to go, any result bar 2-1 to Wigan or 0-1 Everton means that Danny Ashworth will win – 2-1 will give Lisa Grey her 2nd successive win (any Wigan win and Lisa will miss out courtesy of the “most correct scores” rule) and 0-1 will see Anthony Latter share the spoils with Danny…

If you’re on over 20 you’re either a tactical genuis, lucky or a discile of Mr 2-0…

Full SP tomorrow night

Cheers,
Pab

PS – best song from the Citeh fans – “Gallas was right, you’re f*cking sh*te…”

The Kids:

Bizarre week, bizarre scores, bizarre entries sent in (Wayne C forgot to save his scores and Neil B sent in a 2007 scoresheet – duh! & uh?!). However, she’s only ever had a mention previously for being a bit rubbish on these pages but now she gets a mention for being rather good! Lisa Grey 51 (8) was far and away this week’s winner and now she has £20 to perhaps spend on Man City v Arsenal this weekend or at least come out for a pre and post match drink? We had such fun last season!

The So Called 1st Team:

I think Titus Bramble’s last minute goal put the icing on a particular horrible cake this week for Dave Nicklin 12(0). Nevermind mate at least Saint Alan will be along soon to pick you up!

Correct Score of the Week:

Insania abound! 21 got the training session at the Hawthorns, 7 got Hibees draw with Aberdeen, 6 got the solitary 0-0 at W Ham, 5 got the Brazilian-off at the KC, Mark S/Stephen P/Julian F/Ciaran McG got the really annoying 5-0 at OT (yes, I had 4’s), Dave C & Julian F got the tie on the Toon, Louise B & Danielle F got a fab 3-2 for Birmingham, Paul H/Will O/Matt G got Derby’s 3-0 v Sheff Wed, Jon A & Simon L got an even fabber 2-3 for Swansea at Norwich and my beaut little girl Frankie showed amazing acumen on her 4 month old birthday to know that Forest would draw 2-2 with Bristol C and that Lee Camp would save another last minute penalty. But, this week’s best correct score was, of course, Jason Morris’s Fulham 2 Spurs 1

Bet of the Week:

We’re now £30.60 down, the Jamie S 10/1 (thanks Matt G) treble failed on every level. Lise, you’re up next girl, I’m sure Mr Grey will help you along!

Table News:

Numero Uno::

Ladies & Gentlemen, we have a new predicting machine among our ranks – move over Jazz! Jason Morris has a 13 point lead fro his pal Tricky who in turn leads Jazz by 7 points. Ciaran McG & Mark S crash into the Top Ten and the “syndicate” from last year that split into five parts this year now has four of them in the Top Ten – we must stop them kids!

Numero. erm, 73:

Matt Davies (a previous Marmite winner I’ll have you know!) is still bottom 7 points behind Mark S. Mrs F is close to bringing the family name into disrepute in 71st!

Ascento:

No surprises to hear Lisa Grey is the highest climber this week, up an enormo 33 places to 13h. Honourable mentions for Ciaran McG (+15), Julian F (+19), Neil M (+18) and Louise B (+13)

Descento:

No surprises to hear Dave Nicklin is the biggest faller this week, down an average 14 places to 37h (Mr 2-0 shared the honour too!) – dishonourable mentions for John Dan C (-12), Dennis McD (-13), Steve T (-12) and Clare N (-13)

Spotteo!:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you win these prizes! Wayne C is on the promos at 11th(-5), Greg E is at 12th(-3), Tim B on 17th(-9), Dennis McD is at 27th (-13), Tony B is at 31st(+1), Steve T is at 33rd(-12), Louise B is at 42nd(+13), Stewart L is at 52nd(-3), Matt W is at 57th(-10), Michael G is where you wanna be if you’re a loser, on 65th(-3) and Mark S is at 72nd(non mover)

Copa:

To qualify for invitation to the PAS Cup 2009 you will have to finish here at the end of Week 13 – current resident is Julian F (+19)

Other Stuff:

The famous PAS Poll is on the horizon, we’re just finishing off the categories so get your memories recalled and get involved!

And Another Thing:

Wenger out!

Cheers,
Pab

Onboard:

As a supporter of the Britain’s richest club, Jamie Sellers 38(7) may consider a score to be mere schrapnel but he’ll be happy nonetheless that he edged out Wayne C by a point to win this weeks prize. Oh Wayne, if only Utd had won at Arsenal.

Overboard:

On the other side of a miserable Manchester Matt Davies 11(0) managed to clamber to last yet again for a second week running but at least he didn’t make it to the game on Sunday – a saving grace!

Correct Score of the Week:

Right, ready? 22 got Liverpool, 8 got Reading, 6 got Arsenal (no, not me), 5 got Norwich and 5 got Swansea – Jon A &Matt G got an 8 pointer at Wigan and Mark S &Jon A (again) got a 5 pointer at Plymouth – Mark G got Boro’s fine win at Villa (can you tell who I’ve got in the spreads?) but this weeks best correct score goes to Paul Jenner for his West Ham 1 Everton 3

Bet of the Week:

£25.60 down – I’m sorry! I was in a hurry! Big apologies for one of the worst set of selections ever – Jamie S will see us right next week, right Jamie?!

Table News:

You Are Pure, You Are Snow:

Staying top of the pile, Jason Morris increases his lead over Jazz S in 2nd to 7 points. However, Jamie S and Richard H have reeled them in to make it a competitive Top Four. Neil T sails off on honeymoon to the Southern hemisphere bridging the gap from the rest of the Top Ten (six of which have now gone over the 200 point mark)

Alienation:

Mark S is off the bottom leaving a hapless Matt Davies there in his place. It’s shaping up to be an interesting battle to get to 65th as only 10 points separates the places.

Everybody Loves Me:

Highest climber this week is Utd exile in London Seb Almond, up 12 places to 45th. I’m sure he’s overjoyed! Honourable mentions for Howard T (+11) – Eagles!, Matt G (+10) – that another fiver you owe me Matty?, Danny A (+11) – good babysitting skills! and Wayne C (+11) – chin up, you’ll still win the league!

We Are The Usless Sl*ts:

Falling furthest this week is Paul Henshaw down 8 places to 57th – dishonourable mention also for John McS (-7)

Boredom &Despair:

OK, if you finish on these positions at the end of Week 13, you win these prizes! Dave C is on the promos at 11th(+7), Dan R is at 12th(-4), Rob H on 17th(+7), Shaun B is at 27th (for a third week in a row!), Simon L is at 31st(-6), Olly O is at 33rd(-2), Clare N is at 42nd(-1), Jamie T is at 52nd(-1), Paul H is at 57th(-8), Mark F is where you wanna be if you’re a loser, on 65th(-5) and Mark S is at 72nd(+1)

Culture:

To qualify for invitation to the PAS Cup 2009 you will have to finish here at the end of Week 13 – current resident is Tony B (-3)

Other Stuff:

Remember we had half a weekly prize to give out cos of Mr 2-0? Well 5 contenders didn’t, leaving Tim Birtwisle 22(3) all alone to scoop up the tenner surpassing the others 16(2)

And Another Thing:

“Wenger out!”? Moi?

Cheers,
Pab

One Day Like This:

It hasn’t happened before so it was only a matter of time I suppose! A spate of 2-0 results gave Mr 2-0 39 (8) the weekly winning score dragging along Clare Nevin, Dan Rayner, Steve Tagger, Tim Birtwisle, Dan Clements & Dennis McDowell. Now those who are not new to this game know that someone that doesn’t exist can’t get any money – it goes to the first homeless person we see. Soooooo, as this week is shared, £10 will go to a random and the other tenner will go to whoever gets the highest score next week from Clare (on her wedding weekend!), Dan, Steve, Tim, Dan & Dennis. Tony B for one will be cursing the Geordies!

Elbow

Wishing they’d left it to fate like they’ve done quite often this season are Matt Davies & Dave McSherry 9(0). Imagine if they supprted Citeh and Arsenal as well! What? Oh!

Correct Score of the Week

This 0-0 spotting is getting me down – 12 of you got St Mirren v Hibs and 6 got Falkirk v Dundee Utd and 5 got Donny v Swansea. 13 players jumped for joy at the Russian’s goal down the Lane and 7 got WBA 2 Blackburn 2. Best score for this week though goes to Lisa Grey for her Pompey 1 Wigan 2. If anyone had got Man U – Hull, I would have abandoned the competition!

Bet of the Week

Oh man! We’re £20.60 down now as Pompey let us down in one acca and Villa in the other. Mr 2-0 can’t bet so I’ll put together a little something to bring is back up to speed!

Table News

Mountain High:

Jason Morris is the first to break the 200 point barrier and forges ahead 4 points clear of Jazz S in 2nd. These two are now pulling away from the tightly bunched peleton – Tim B and Dan R crash into the Top Ten courtesy of their good mate Mr 2-0

River Deep:

Mark Shakespeare remains Bottom (geddit!) 4 points adrift of Danielle F who in turn is 4 points away from Neil B

Climbing:

Another disciple of Mr 2-0, Steve Tagger is bigging up his chest this week cos he’s up 24 places to 15th – Bo! Honourable mentions for Mr 2-0 (+22), Dan C (+21), Dennis McD (+21), Clare N (+20) and Tony B (+19).

Drowning:

Matt Worsfold and Dave McSherry are both down 18 places to 46th & 58th respectively – the sl*gs. Dishonourable mentions for Rich L (-17), Matt D (-15), Paul J (-13), John W (-13) and Martin S (-13)
