L13 Winter 2012 : Week 7 Roundup

“Your breath has never tasted as sweet”:
Very close week this week and it turns out a last minute goal from Hull City was just enough to beat our reigning title holder to the weekly prize! A case of like brother like, um, brother as Jamie Tofeili 37 (7) emulates his big bruvver’s Week 5 win adding another £20 to the Tofeili name. No need for that Toon-assisting Wonga loan now J…!
“Don’t treat it like some kind of joke”:
He was up early with the bairns on Saturday sending in his scores, but this early bird couldn’t catch a cold! Stephen Peaston 7 (0) must be inconsolable when you add a defeat by West Ham into the equation…
Correct Score of the Week:
Quite thin on the ground this week – most popular score was Man City 2 Sp*rs 1 – 23 of youse got that score!
11 got Boro’s 3-1 against Sheff Wed, 6 got the 2-2 between Leicester and The Tricky Trees and 6 got Reading 0 Norwich 0…
13 got Blackpool 2 Bolton 2 and 4 somehow got Celtic 1 St Mirren 1.
Olly O got Killy 3 Rossy 0.
However, this week’s best correct score, and new correct score of the season, goes back to Reda Allam for his inspired Morecambe 4 Barnet 1.
Bet of the Week:
Tony S went for it and… failed.

Table News:

“My freedom is a vision you seek”:
Steve Meaton stays top now 19 points ahead of the Simon Lindq and these two are pulling away from the chasing pack as Tony M is a further 5 points behind in third. Jamie T moves into the Top Ten…
“This song is, kind lady, my only hope”:
Mr 2-0 remains bottom now 4 points adrift of Vim G. Clare T is only five points further up as the battle royale at the foot of the table continues apace!
“And the place you disappear to is a place I wish to be”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 21 places is John Street – honourable mentions go to Jamie T (+18), Josh H (+16), Chris B (+20) and Siri O (+20).
“This big, old boat is-a-startin’ to sink”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 22 places is Linsey Proctor – dishonourable mentions go to Stephen P (-19), Steve T (-16), Frankie F (-17), and Savan A (-16)
PAS Cup 2013:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2013, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… Norn Iron Red – Neil Templeton.
PAS Champions League 2012/13:

Group A
Olly Osmond v Josh Hirst / Dave Crisp v Jamie Sellers
Group B
Dan Pelgrom v Nick Hogwood / Louise Briggs v Tony Bowley

And Another Thing:
Thanks for all the messages that accompany your scoresheets (in true Blue Peter style, I read them all!) some of the “jokey” ones are good, very good. Occasionally you get a rogue one…

“hope Germany was good – decent ground top place for boozing!!…I went there 3 years ago with my City mate. I met the most hated man in German football… the fella at the Borrussia Monchengladbach game who used to chant “give me a B”…”

Pab

L13 Winter 2012 : Week 6 Roundup

Right, I’m off to Schalke in about 7 hours so it may be riddled with mistakes (gulp!) cos I need some sleep before the beer & bratwurst-a-thon commences. Keep ’em crossed for me we don’t play like we did at OT cos we really will get a shellacking…

Week 7 scoresheets back to me by 19.44 on Friday please.

“Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning”:
A bizarre weekend of scores (even at WHL – snigger!) put pay to most predictions this week. However, Tony Smith 34 (6) begs to differ as he slammed home this week’s winning set of scores. £20 winging its way mate – will it go towards an El Hadji Diouf shirt?!
“Lights going out and a kick in the b*lls”:
This week Vim Gupta 7(0) may have been wishing he forgot to submit his scores (again)…
Correct Score of the Week:
Ooooh, it was horrific out there… – most popular score was Norwich’s 1-0 win over Stoke – 16 of you got that!
Seven got the 2-2 at Seaweed, 9 got Fulham’s “Desmond” v Everton and 5 got Swansea’s 1-1 against The Chavs.
Dave T / Sam A / Paul Car got the 0-1 between Birmingham & Ipswich and Gary B & Linsey P got Dundee 1 Hearts 0.
Gary M & Dave C got Motherwell’s 1-3 away win against St Johnstone.
However, this week’s best correct score, and best correct of the season so far, goes to Tony Smith for his inspired and quite obviously 94th minute lucky, Dundee U 2 Celtic 2.

Table News:

“Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays”:
Steve Meaton stays top the league and extends his lead to a massive 17 points ahead of Paul V who in turn is 1 point ahead of Simon Lindq in third. Kate H crashes the Top Ten…
“A baby wailing and stray dog howling”:
Mr 2-0 stays rooted to the bottom of the pile now 2 correct scores behind Vim G who in turn is 1 point behind Gary M.
“Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 29 places is Tony Smith – honourable mentions go to Neil O (+17), Sam A (+19), James C (+14), Dave T (+14) and Neil B (+12)
“P*ssing down with rain on a boring Wednesday”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 19 places is Neil Meredith – dishonourable mentions go to Vim G (-11), Stuart L (-13), Jamie S (-11), Gareth M (-15) and Francesca F (-14)
PAS Cup 2013:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2012, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… not so happy Hotsp*r – Gareth Morgan.
Bet of the Week:
From the sublime (last week) to the ridiculous (yep, this week), Jon T failed on every level…
PAS Champions League 2012/13:
See website for updated tables. Weird week for joker points (after all my reminders I forgot mine… but to be fair it would’ve gone the hapless Sp*rs) with only 3 people actually scoring bonus points… And even weirder, 2 people picked a Burnley v Wolves draw…
And Another Thing:
Glad to see the RVP baiting was half hearted at best amongst our throng at OT – not glad to see how utterly inept and pathetic we were on the pitch (bar BFG & Vito) – even worse than the 8-2…

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Winter 2012 : Week 5 Roundup

Apologies for the delay but next week may be even later!

Week 6 scoresheets back by 19.44 on Friday.

PAS CL Matchday 3 home teams – don’t forget your “joker”!

“…right from the start”:
Phew, it was close this week! Mrs F & I got the last plane outta NYC just as Sandy arrived, Arsenal have just made Houdini look ordinary and a Tomkins injury time goal at Wigan secured Jon Tofeili 40(8) a £20 weekly win sneaking past Tony M! And he only just got his scores in on time! Well done Jonny boy – Geordie champagne all round?!
“How did it feel to be alone?”:
Well, that didn’t take long did it? New mum Louise Briggs 9(0) has all those sleepless nights & nappy changes to blame for a shocker!
Correct Score of the Week:
Good stuff people, good stuff… – most popular score was Villa’s 1-1 with Norwich – 30 of you got that!
10 got the 0-0 at the Britannia and Harry B / Felix H / Olly O got the super Eagles 1-2 v Leicester City.
Four got the “Desmond” between Hearts & Ross Co., 14 got the controversial score draw at Goodison and 7(!) got the 2-3 between the Chavs and the Homewreckers Mk II.
Paul Car got Cardiff 4 Burnley 0, Tony b got St Mirren’s 0-1 against Dundee U and El Presidente got Man City’s modest win over Swansea…
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Reda Allam for his inspired Barnsley 1 Nottm Forest 4. Oh, this is also the new best correct score of the season beating the last one Reda posted a few weeks ago!

Table News:

“…always thinking of games that I was playing.”:
Steve Meaton goes up two places to top the league on his debut season with a healthy 9 points lead over Paul V who in turn is 14 points ahead of Will O in third. Harry B & Frankie F crash the Top Ten…
“Try to lose the down that he’s found”:
Mr 2-0 stays bottom of the pile now 5 points behind Gary M who in turn is four points behind Clare T.
“Trying to make the best of my time.”:
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 28 places is Jon Tofeili – honourable mentions go to Tony M (+21), Ryan B (+23), Howard T (+20), Felix H (+27), Linsey P (+20) and Jay H (+19)
“What if your world should fall apart?”:
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 23 places is Steve Tagger – dishonourable mentions go to Paul Cam (-18), Louise B (-20), Gary B (-16), Chris B (-16), and Tony S (-15)
PAS Cup 2013:
In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2013, you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is… exiled in Oz ’Ammer – Paul Carter.
Bet of the Week:
We have PAS history! Old skooler Ryan Graves went nu-school and nailed all three of his 3, 4 & 5 “both teams to score” selections – amazing! Ryan adds £7 to his £10 shared weekly win and more importantly, puts £14 on BotW slot 47th! Leg-end!
