Yes, I know Ronnie, I effing know…

“Mad World”:

What. Can. I. Say…?

Scored 30 points this week? I’m afraid you’re a failure given the rich pickings available to pick up in yet another divisive, exciting, unbelievable International Week!

Thirty players scored 40 (FORTY) points or more this week, 9 got 50 (FIFTY!) or more, and an elite foursome notched up a mighty impressive 60 (SIXTY!!!) points plus!

Take a boo son(s).

It was a scrap right to the finish as the PAS record of 67 points was under serious threat from all sides. Dave C & Pete B were thwarted at sixty points, newbie Pete C must be wondering what all the fuss is about as he just fell short of a weekly win on 61 points.

Pete C went toe-to-toe with Martin Stafford 62 (9) from the 11 pointer that was Holland in Gibraltar, right through to Spain v Kosovo – pegging back Martin’s Wales correct score with an Italian one, only to see a Scotland 8 pointer put him to the sword, and gifting the £20 Wigan way…

Well done M, still anti-International week?!

“Mother’s Talk”:

6 (SIX!!) punters scored 20 points or less.

But they all got a correct score.

Only Ric P didn’t, and he finished on 23 points. Weird, non?

Patricia F would’ve been bottom of the pile but Dan H, Gary B and Andy S all foolishly followed Mr 2-0 15 (1) into International oblivion…

Sacre bleu!

Correct Score of the Week:

Bumper to bumper…most popular score was Scotland’s 1-1 draw in Israel– 38 of youse got that!

Thirty (30!) got Germany 3 Iceland 0

16 doffed a cap to Poland’s 3-0 deconstruction of Andorra

Another sixteen quite rightly predicted England’s 5-0 thrashing of San Marino (thanks to Billy The Fish in nets)

13 said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Gibraltar 0 Holland 7 (whilst not noticing the other 12…)

Twelve were all over the 0-3 Kosovo v Sweden

10 made us all green by happening upon Scotland 4-0 Faroe Islands

Eight were grateful for the 3-1 Spanish win over Kosovo

5 just knew Luxembourg would score against La Selecao for a 1-3

Four got the dull-all at Windsor Park

Four more got the very annoying, outrageous last minute spoiling Serbia 2 Portugal 2

Neil M, Karina H & Samantha P got Scotland’s “Desmond” with Austria

Howard T, Chris D & Dan W got the very annoying last minute spoiling Blackpool 2 Plymouth 2

However, this week’s best correct score goes to…no one, as it-can-only-be-a-unique-scoreline!

Bet of the Week:

John Jennings was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He won!

So, £0.87 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd taking it to £5.19 – it’s a slow burn…

Chris Dixon is at 45th this week…

Ant/Dec, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please! Let’s keep the momentum going…

Imagine having the chance to capture a West Ham fan “mid-gloat” as the third 1st half goal went in…

“Great DJ”:

In a week that saw Frankie F blaze out the traps like the aforementioned West Ham, it took a Super Sunday comeback to secure this week’s £20 weekly prize.

Only 3 punters made it past thirty points this week (only 8 made it past 25!) – one of them, Frankie, dropped off dramatically on Sunday only adding 6 more points.

Alex R looked good to go on Saturday too, but only managed five more points after that.

So our winner only actually predicted for 29 games –  but still managed to amass a bumper 15 points on the Day of Rest.

Congrats to Bijay Lama 43 (9) then – no doubt he’ll be lighting up the What’s App group and shining a light on his less eminent buddies to boot!

And why not eh, B?! It’s good to gloat…

“That’s Not My Name”:

It’s becoming apparent that consistency in football is like truisms from politicians – sporadic at best, short-lived, misleading & consigned to a long last past where we had jumpers for goa…blah blah blah

30 people scored no more than 15 points in another coupon-busting round of fixtures.

Six of whom managed zero correct scores.

Two didn’t even get to double-figure points.

Sam Craig 6 (0) saved Paul V’s blushes this week…

Correct Score of the Week:

We’re having to work for it this season …most popular score was Stoke’s 1-0 defeat of Derby County– 24 of us got that!

Twenty one got Watford 3 Birmingham 0

Alex R, James C & Reagon K got the dull-all at St Andrew’s

Julian F, David G & Andy S just knew Toon wouldn’t score against Brighton for a 3-0

Francesca F & Rob C nabbed the form book upsetting Barnsley 1 Sheff Wed 2

Norman L somehow stumbled on Bristol City 0 Rotherham 2

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his welcome-back-Harry inspired, Leicester 3 Man Utd 1!

Bet of the Week:

Paul Henshaw was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 5 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

He followed the lead of the previous “syndicate” member up here last week…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – rubbish!

John Jennings is at 33rd this week…

JJ, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please! We need a winner to buck a worrying trend!

Table News:

“Be The One”:

Bijay Lama climbs thirteen places to the summit, 6 points ahead of Simon B in second, who in turn is one point ahead of Ben H…

Three crashed the Top Ten.

“Yeah…but can you stay on the pitch for 90 minutes? Huh?!”

“The Things That Dreams Are Made Of”:

A year ago we had this…

“We’re living in strange times right now – strange things like…Will football end just as Liverpool have re-invented it with a blast from the 80s? Will we ever be allowed out of our houses ever again?

Will we eventually get sick of eating plain pasta? And will my quest to win the competition I founded be scuppered just as things look as rosy as they’ve ever been? Yep, proper strange times…”

A lot changes in a year, eh?

Or does it?!

6 mere mortals passed the 30 point barrier this week and that included a Fernandez  – so yeah, proper strange week…

Francesca F gave it her best shot but was blasted out the water by Neil Osborne 35 (5).

This week’s £20 winner wasn’t helped by any last minute goals or misses or VAR decisions – he simply nailed a 9 pointer and that did for the chasing pack. Simple.

Well done Neil, my little girl is in bits – but has learnt the valuable life lesson to never trust Yorkshire folk to help you out if you’re a Red Rose!

“Being Boiled”:

Nowt stranger than folk!

30 punters failed to cross the 15 points line this week – brutal!

Fourteen poor souls couldn’t muster a correct score between them either.

But at least Mr 2-0 8 (0) had Samantha Pillett and two thirds of the PAS Board for company as they all contemplated being the worst of the worst in the worst of times…

Correct Score of the Week:

Like hen’s teeth…most popular score was Citeh’s 0-3 win at Fulham– 27 of youse got that!

Rob C, Debbie L & John J celebrated the Fylde Coast derby bore draw

Sam C said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for her Boro 3 Stoke 0

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Neil Osborne for his ecky-thump inspired, AFC Bournemouth 2 Barnsley 3!

Bet of the Week:

Mark Seels was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 4 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

We did a Liverpool at home…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th – bah…

Paul Henshaw is at 11th this week…

Mr H, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please! We need a winner – let’s see if you best the last “syndicate” member’s effort!

“The future’s bright…”

“The Divine Chord”:

So, Covid continues to put pay to our fixture list, and boy, did some of us need that extra game eh?

In a week that saw yet another game postponed, only 13 players managed to score 30 points or more!

Three of them even managed to top 35 points.

Very impressive stuff.

John K was the early pacesetter. And it was all about an early start as Sunday & Monday games offered scant return…

Our £20 weekly winner amassed a massive 19 points early doors, cruelly snatching a veteran PASer’s moment of glory from his grasp to consign him to wait even longer for that elusive weekly win (and he’s been waiting since the 90s folks!)

Yep, Lee Ford 40 (6) must have been happier than a Burnley fan (or one of them lot down the road) this week as the ridiculous VAR decisions enabled him four points that denied Charlie H the weekly win!

Well done sir – your enthusiasm for PAS has been infectious (no pun intended) since you joined, a well deserved win – more power to your predicting elbow!

“We Will Always Love You”:

A crippling week for some, especially the 8 bods who scored no more than 15 points.

And five of them didn’t even get a correct score!

However…

Just because it’s your birthday, doesn’t mean it’s all jelly & ice cream!

Patricia Fernandez 5 (0) was mostly resembling a blown out birthday cake candle this week as a kinda family trait of worstest scores was the order of the special day…

Frankie approved mum…ummmm, happy birthday?! x

Correct Score of the Week:

Didn’t we have a luvverly time…most popular score was Leicester’s 1-2 win at Brighton– 31 of us got that!

Twenty seven doffed a cap to Norwich City’s 3-0 deconstruction of Luton Town

26 were all over the Scottish league-title winning 3-0 to the ‘Gers

Twelve got the dull-all at The Hawthorns

9 got Lincoln 3 Crewe 0

Nine more got the 3 goal demolition of Sheffield Wednesday

7 celebrated the bore draw between Villa & Wolves

Five had Motherwell’s 3-1 win over Livingston

Rich L, Paul V & Tim P obviously guessed Spurs would beat Palace 4-1

However, this week’s best correct score goes to David Goggin for his only-mugs-concentrate-on-the-Old-Firm inspired, St Johnstone 1 Hibs 0!

Bet of the Week:

Norman Lee 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?!

Fail…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – less than auspicious start then…

Mark Seels is at 65th this week….

Seelsy, I need your 3 team treble by Friday, please! We need a winner – let’s not get all “Scousey” eh?!

“Some year, ’65…”

“(This Is For The) Better Days”:

I’d like to say it was a lively Week 3 right up to Sunday evening.

But a tightly bunched field of 21 punters reaching & breaching the 30 point mark simply couldn’t make the ground up on someone who had Luton’s miraculous comeback tucked under his belt.

Any one of those 20 chasers could have won it. But they didn’t.

And in the end, those 5 bonus points were all the difference…

That 9 pointer catapulted debutant Pete Clarke 43 (6) right to the top, and there he kept a tight grip on that weekly £20 prize.

Well done Pete – now you know how easy it is to make a profit on this game, you can rope in 20 of your mates next season…<winking emoji>

“’Punchbag”:

Oooof!

Over a third of the runners and riders failed to notch up more than 20 points this week.

Thirteen of those suffered the ignominy of collecting zero correct scores…

Those feeling the pain particularly pressing?

Darren McCarthy & Lewis Marriott 12 (0) kept each other company – and shared the blushes.

Nice to see a seasoned underachiever keep a newbie under his watchful eye though…respeck!

Correct Score of the Week:

Some good predicting this week…most popular score was Barnsley’s 2-1 win over ‘Wall– 33 of youse got that!

Four had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Stamford Bridge

Anders H, Moi & Andy S celebrated the bore draw between Palace & Fulham

Rich L, Tony M & Tom M just knew Leyton Orient would score against Tranmere Rovers for a 1-3

Gareth M & Pete B saw their typos come good on the game at Spurs

Paul C was all over the Scottish League Cup Final 0-1 to the history making Saints of Johnstone

James C doffed a cap to PNE’s 3-0 deconstruction of Huddersfield

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Pete Clarke for his this-ain’t-beginners-luck-matey inspired, Luton Town 3 Sheffield Wednesday 2!

Bet of the Week:

Greg Fleming was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 2 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

We won! Whooo!

So, £4.32 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – great start!

“Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside…”

“Da Funk”:

It was a proper bunfight to be the best of a bad bunch in Week 2. Well, not that bad a bunch…and not much of a bunfight in the end either actually.

Only ten of youse got 30 points or more – so well done you. I think 30 is the new 50 this season!

Tim P & Paul H tried their best to last the distance but fell away when it really mattered.

Neil O really made a push for the line…

But heading up the quartet who got nearest to flirting with a weekly win was my new Head of Debt Chasing, Simon Buxton 44 (8).

Mr B showed the same ruthlessness in point collecting as he does with securing late entry fees (ask Jack!) and has Newcastle’s audacity to score at OT  to thank for securing the twenty nicker.

Good work Simon! You can put him down now….

“Burnin‘”:

5 poor souls got zero correct scores.

Twelve scored less than 15 points…

Not the best week to be celebrating a “big” birthday then.

Luckily for Rob Currin 11 (0) his 40th is this Saturday…

Happy birthday Roberto?

Correct Score of the Week:

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Parkhead…most popular score was Leicester’s 1-2 win at Villa – 33 of youse got that!

Sixteen just knew Toon would score against Man Yoo for a 3-1

6 turned up Burnley 0 WBA 0. Then smiled a little bit as they thought of those poor souls that were spared actually being there…

Four got the very annoying last minute spoiling Rangers 4 Dundee United 1

Nick H & Alex R (happy birthday!) doffed a cap to Stoke City’s 3-0 deconstruction of Luton Town

Reagon K was all over the 0-2 to Boro

Simon B made us all green by happening upon Wolves 1-0 Leeds Utd

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Norman Lee for his I-love-that-at-least-one-league-is-kinda-predictable inspired, Motherwell 0 St Johnstone 3!

Bet of the Week:

Lewis Marriott was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 1 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

It was a fail…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th – not the best start!

“You WILL pay on time next season…”

“Mister Natural”:

New year, new start ‘n’ all that.

I did my scores from a position of excellent preparation, plenty of research and a knowing that it’d be a week that would go as it ought to go…

It didn’t. It hasn’t for a while eh?

So apologies for the lateness of this update – i’ve been in shock. And in pubs. Actually that’s a lie. I’ve extended dry Jan to Feb…

Quite a lot of you clearly knew what I didn’t…but not that many for a change! Hurrah for a very random Week 1!

Best of the bunch?

Justin Corliss 23 (3) deftly manoeuvred to the front of the pack thanks to, well, Stoke & Spurs basically!

And therein securing quite possibly the lowest winning score in PAS history. Quite a feat. Considering 18 others could have done it too this week…

If you got 20 points or more this week, you were one of nine – I doff my cap, you jammy…

So, congrats Justin, £20 winging it’s way to you ASAP – you’ve already broke even!

Always the best week to win it – innit!

“Hard Times”:

Did you score more than Mr 2-0 this week?

Wow. To be fair that was quite an achievement…yes, I’m hugging myself in a self conglatulatory manner. And?

34 of youse couldn’t manage that this week.

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Leicester though eh?! <Miguel Almiron emoji face>

Eighteen players didn’t manage a correct score and 7 couldn’t muster up a measly 10 points!

One fella wishing he was being more “Brendan” though is Hira Yonzan 7 (0).

A woeful start sees him at the bottom of the pile in the opening week – a lesson learnt not to entrust your scores to “form and/or home advantage”…

What will the family say H??!

Correct Score of the Week:

In the bleak mid winter…you did very well! Most popular score was Celtic’s 1-2 win at St Johnstone– 22 of youse got that!

Nine doffed a cap to Citeh’s 3-0 deconstruction of Spurs

5 got West Ham 3 Sheff Utd 0

Five more had Cardiff’s 3-1 win over Coventry

4 believed in Leicester. A 3-1 kinda belief…

Tony M, Reagon K & Sam O got Lincoln’s “Desmond” with Accrington Stanley

Danny A, Rowan M & Tom M got the dull-all at Pittodrie

Anders H & Steve M nabbed the form book upsetting WBA 1 Man Utd 1

Sam A & Lewis M got the 3 goal demolition of Livingston by Dundee Utd

Jason M & Paul C celebrated the bore draw between Brighton & Villa

John J & Justin C thrilled at the thrilling Norwich 4 Stoke 1

Lewis M (again) was well away with the 0-2 away win for Barnsley

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Julian Fernandez for his I-knew-my-bruv-would-get-this-the-polar-opposite-wrong inspired, Arsenal 4 Leeds Utd 2

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 11th will make the selections for Week 2, the person on 33rd 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 65th in Week 4 will make the selections for Week 5 and back round again to 11th…yeah?!

Good.

So, debutant Lewis Marriott is first up.

Lewis, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be a home, away or draw. 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…
