PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’23 Week 4 round up

Dazzler…

 

 

 

Help Yourself:

You know times are strange when Spurs are top, Harry Maguire is playing and I score 33 points in a 26 game week…

 

Yep, what was a potential nightmare point-gathering round proved just otherwise, as 22 of us scored more than thirty points!

Richard H threatened briefly thanks to a 92nd minute equaliser at his beloved Forest, Matthew S nearly came good with “Super Sunday” show and Sam O went close, boasting a Glaswegian nine-pointer in his points haul…

Out front this week though, collecting his second weekly win of the season, was Andy Fowler 40 (7).

A mixed emotions kinda week for our Toffee especially as Mo Salah’s 97th minute penalty proved to be the correct score that edged his weekly win!

 

Was you willing that one to go in Andy?! Was you?!! Come on, be honest now…

 

 

 

You Know I’m No Good:

Even at the other end, 4 postponements didn’t really wreak the havoc it could’ve.

 

Only six punters failed to breach 15 points.

Only 2 didn’t register a correct score.

Only No one finished with less than a double-digit tally.

 

Unfortunately for you Debbie Lee 10 (0), you were the one propping everyone else up…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Didn’t we do well…most popular score was Leicester’s 1-3 win at Swansea – 28 of youse got that!

 

Eleven (!) thrilled at the thrilling Hearts 1 Celtic 4

9 we’re so happy for Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Greg F, Matthew S & John D doffed a cap to Brentford’s 3-0 deconstruction of Burnley

Neil O, Bijay L & Jasper M quite rightly predicted Rangers’ 4-0 thrashing of Hibs

Jazz S, Mark S & Moi put you all to shame by predicting Norwich City 2 Leeds United 3

Rich L & Chris D had Newcastle’s merciless deconstruction of Crystal Palace

Ben McK was grateful for the 3-1 Killy win over Livvy

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Justin Corliss for his I-will-defy-the-odds-and-back-the-Hatters inspired, Nottm Forest 2 Luton Town 2!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Gary Mitchell was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 3 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

“Just read you need a treble, sorry I missed it last time…
I’ll have Leeds, Wrexham & Morecambe”
Leeds – 85th minute yes!
Morecambe – 91st minute yes!
Wrexham – no…
Nice away selections that so nearly gave us a full house – come back soon G!

So, £4.77 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – fab!

 

 

Dom Webber & Simon Buxton are at 33rd this week – Dom was first out of the hat, so…

 

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

 

Let’s keep this going!

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’23 Week 3 round up

Remember! No booze…

 

 

 

Fine Time:

Blimey – that certainly was a classic “International Week” so I’ll cut to the chase from the off…

A whopping FORTY SIX of youse scored 30 points or more this week with eleven of those hitting the 40 point plus marker.

And three of them went into the hallowed “fifties”.

Eddie O notched a 9 pointer, an eight pointer and 2 x 5 pointers but still pulled up short…yeah, I know right?!

Lily T continues the teenage girl trend of power point scoring, notching 2 x eight pointers this week – she may well be rueing a (probable) Tik-Tok distraction though, as she missed her prediction for the Austria – Belgium game…oops <gritted teeth emoji>

So that left Olly Osmond 53 (6) up front & centre to take the weekly £20 prize!

PAS old skooler Oliver can thank a 93rd minute 4th for Italy for his victory – however, I think the real story here was the inimitable Wrexham producing yet another goal-fest and yet another late late comeback…

 

Iechyd da!

 

 

 

 

Walkaway:

Feeling a bit underwhelmed by the “point plunder” that International Week promises?

Yeah, I know…

 

Only 6 people failed to get more than fifteen points this week.

All of them hit double figures though <smiley emoji>

Three poor souls didn’t manage a correct score despite scoring 20, 19 & 16 points (yes, that’s you Roshan T, Dickie H & Julian F!)

 

Good news though – Mr 2-0 15 (1) and his followers (yes, that includes you PAS Board members! My office. Tomorrow! 7am sharp!) finished bottom of the pile.

 

Bad news – International Week is back in Week 8 – eeeek!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Mate…most popular score was Norn Iron’s 3-0 win over San Marino – 28 of youse got that!

 

 

Nineteen got Romania 4 Andorra 0

12 doffed a cap to Iceland’s 4-0 deconstruction of Liechtenstein

Twelve more believed in Ireland. A 0-4 in Gibraltar kinda belief…

And another 12 felt Fergie vibes when a Frattesi 93rd minute goal secured an 8 pointer 4-0 against Malta

Eleven celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 3-2 Wrexham win over Salford

9 thanked the Lord for Herr Kane for securing them a 3-1 five points v Italy

Nine more obviously guessed Denmark would beat Kazakhstan 3-1

5 somehow stumbled on Malta 1 Ukraine 3 (how????)

Patricia F said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for her San Marino 1 Denmark 2

Deepak B made us all green by happening upon Ireland 0-2 Greece

Simon Linds snaffled up the 9 points served up by the Austria & Belgium 2-3

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Paul Carter for his I’m-still-very-much-aware-that-CR7-is-still-doing-the-doo inspired, Portugal 3 Slovakia 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Stuart Fitzsimon was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

It was another no-show – tbf, it was International Week so I don’t blame him really…

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – another, ahem, acceptable start.

 

 

Gary Mitchell is at 45th this week – meaning, unbelievably he’s back for another go…or no show!

 

Gary! Gary! GARY! (jeeez, I sound like Dean from Lock Stock now…), I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!

 

Bon chance!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Alright:

Olly Osmond glides up 13 places to the top, 3 points ahead of Kate S who, in turn, is one point ahead of Jamie S in third.

 

 

SIX crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

I’m So Lonely:

Julian Fernandez slides three places to the foot of the table, 3 points off Danny A, who, in turn, is one point away from Dave N…<monkey with head in hands emoji>

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guiding Star:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 58 places is Dilip Adhikari – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+47), John K (+33), Rob C (+48), Pete B (+47), Matthew M (+31), and Ben H (+39).

 

 

 

 

Sandstorm:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 44 places are Dan Hogwood & Orla McKeown – dishonourable mentions go to Sam O (-33), Dickie H (-32), Ric P (-34), Roshan T (-34), and Paul F (-30)

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)

PAS Lucky 13 Winter ’23 Week 1 round up

Ola!, i’m Number One…

 

 

 

Only You:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Arsenal – PAS!

 

Anyway…

I’ll cut to the chase (sort’ve) as it was all about The Girls this week – and, 4 of the 7 we have signed up this season finished 11th or higher – go girls!

Emma T made an impressive return to the fold and Debbie L has probably got a nosebleed being so high in the Top Ten.

Kate S continues to use the resources at her disposal to great effect but was denied the £20 weekly prize by a girl who has perfected the art of “getting things done” –  for her…

 

Friday after school :

“Frankie, you need to do your scores, it’s Week 1 and you’re in the CL this season!”

“Cool! Yeah, will do..”

Friday 19:57 :

No scores entered so I put 0-3 for her based on my 0-4 prediction…

Saturday 09:00 :

“You didn’t do your score last night but still got 5 points, make sure you do your scores when you’re back from drama…”

“Cool! Yeah, will do…”

Saturday 12:15 :

No scores entered so I do her scores for her based on her normal, “the higher placed team will beat the lower placed team by one goal unless they’re away, then it will be draw” method + not replicating any of my scores

Monday 22:00 :

I limp home with a score less than Mr 2-0 (having been denied a correct score at least twice thanks to 90th min+ goals) and Frankie Fernandez rocks up with 44 (9)

NINE CORRECT SCORES!!! I’ve never got 9 correct scores EVER!

And when I do, they’re not for me…

I hate PAS.

 

Ahem, congrats lovely daughter, £20 (that I paid anyway) winging its way back to you my darling…

I’m sure you’ll spend it wisely.

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t Go:

Did you score 25 points+ this week?

Wow, we’re in awe…

Eighteen of you managed that but 18 punters couldn’t manage more than 15 points this week  – and four couldn’t muster a correct score.

Shocking.

Not as shocking as the 2 that didn’t break double figures this week though!

Darren McC was spared big blushes courtesy of another scouse tragedy – yep, Mark Seels 7 (0) – it really was a weekend to forget mate…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Proper mad scores this week…most popular score was Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw with Brentford – 27 of us got that!

 

Six were all over the 0-3 to the Sunderland on Friday night

5 (FIVE!) thrilled at the thrilling Wrexham 3 Crewe 3

Martin S, Matt M & Luke S decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at Hibs. And they did…

Howard T, Sam A & Chris D were well away with the 1-3 away win for Oxford Utd

Paul V & Debbie L were grateful for the 3-1 Southampton win over Leeds Utd

Ben McK & Matthew S revelled in the schadenfreude of Arsenal’s late late show at Bournemouth

Roshan T will shout out loud about the humbling of Everton by Luton Town

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Will Oppong for his I-like-rugby-and-this-was-always-going-to-be-trying-for-Rovers inspired, Blackburn 1 Leicester City 4!

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

So, we’ve failed quite spectacularly in the last few seasons on this – actually, we’ve always failed.

But last season, we did alright. Welllllll, alright(ish)…

So!

We’re being brave and we’re gonna stick with it to see how we go!

How?

Whoever is on the “Bet of the Week” position for the following week will be asked to provide a treble selection so we can place the allocated £3 for the bet.

The winnings will stay on that slot and collected by the lucky person residing there at the end of Week 13.

Got that? No?!

OK…

The person on 83rd will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 60th in Week 2 will make the selections for Week 3,the person on 45th in Week 3 will make the selections for Week 4 and the person on 33rd in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 83rd…yeah?!

Good.

So, newbie Gary Mitchell is first up.

Mr M, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be homes, aways or draws. It doesn’t have to be football! It can be horses! Or dogs! Or fighting crickets! But not cricket…that’s a step too far!

Let’s get off to a winning start for a change.

 

No pressure mate..

It’s never too late…they’ll get a respectable Mr 2-0 20 (4) for Week 1 to boot!
