“He’s Big & He’s Effin’ ‘Ard!”:

So, who won?

Well, a newbie PASer who took up the challenge in the summer – and my, how that decision has paid off!

He even had the temerity to claim he finished 4th in his first season on our What’s App group (erm, you are all on that aren’t you?!)

It was a close, compacted, confusing season – whilst Liverpool smoothly glide their way to the title with certainty & consistency, our champion battled & spluttered through just like the rest of us.

Anyone could’ve won it this season.

5 of the Top 12 clocked up as many, or more, correct scores than the champion!

Yep, and it was correct scores that settled it…

Our “Winter” champ started in mid-table obscurity at 52nd, dropped to 58th, down another 3 places in Week 3, before breaking the Top 50 in Week 4 – then a “yo-yo” few weeks saw residency in 52nd, 31st & 35th as we reached the halfway point.

This low point was met with a push into the Top Thirty at 25th in Week 8, before leaping up to 13th a week later.

More yo-yoing?

Yep.

From Week 10 it was down to 18th & then hitting the Top Ten in Week 11, prompting a stubborn stay to the end!

With impeccable timing of a seasoned pro, it was up to 7th before hitting top spot when it mattered – a quite remarkable performance given that our champs usually lead from the front & are rarely out of the Top Ten!

So, be upstanding lords, ladies & gents and doff your caps to Mark Potter 356 (46) – He. Is. A. Winner!

Peter Kay, Nat Lofthouse, Sara Cox, Badly Drawn Boy, Maxine Peake, Mark Radcliffe, Fred Dibnah & Diane Morgan, put wood in t’hole & let the corporation pop flow – our boy done proper reet good! Whack that on a barm!

Mr P won by a mere 2 correct scores lead over the very unlucky, Jack Buxton, in second place.

Jack’s lowest position all season was 4th & any other season….

Anyway, at least he finished four points ahead of a rejuvenated Charlie Harris in third place.  

Andy Kelly was only 1 point behind in 4th with a vastly improved finish from last season’s 82nd…

Just one point further back, Ryan Graves reflects on a fine season by finishing in fifth spot with Scott Harrison just behind in 6th by virtue of 5 correct scores.

In seventh heaven was resurgent all-time prize money winner, Jazz Sian – let’s hope Spurs finish there too eh, J?   ; )

Continuing a rich seam of prize-winning form, “Syndicate” top boy again, Richard Hirst scooped 8th place, only 2 correct scores shy of joint 7th but ending up 6 points ahead of Gareth Morgan in 9th (actually, let’s hope Spurs finish there G!)

The double Champions League winner just edged out perennial spot prize botherer Neil Osborne by 2 points in 10th…

“Being Brendan”: 

Just 0 points & 0 places separated our new champion from Paul Vinson 239 (17) in Week 1!

Actually, that’s worth thinking about…

The other Mr P never really recovered from there though, down to 83rd, then to 92nd before hitting a peak in Week 4 at 89th!

A slip down to 94th followed, stabilisation in Week 6 – then the slow descent into the nineties culminated with hitting bottom in Week 11.

Paul rallied to 96th in Week 12 before securing the wooden spoon in the final week.

Alex R, our very own Dan H & Shezan J made gallant efforts over the season to save Paul’s blushes, but…

Spot Prizers

OK, YOU have finished on these positions AND you HAVE won those prizes!

See you in a few weeks PASers.

Cheers and Happy New Year!

Pab

Surely not another slip up…

“Porsche Majeure”: You can tell it’s the holiday season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in.

Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into an alcoholic abyss with little chance of predicting succour.

Form goes out the window & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country.

So how do you combat this perennial problem?

Don’t ask me, I had Everton v Spurs as 1-1 & Cardiff to beat Elfin Utd…

However, as Alfredo Morelos netted his 2nd for Rangers in the 88th minute v St Johnstone, the miracle of Christmas left Mark P & Paul C trailing in the wake behind Paul Henshaw 38 (6)

Ding dong (merrily on high)!

The Syndicate will be getting beers this Christmas!

Here’s the science bit – 7 of youse managed 30 points or more.

(Belated) Merry Christmas!

“Total Immersion”: It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute shopping to be done.

Why bother doing your scores?

Nick H & Danny A are wondering just that in a week where 14 bods only managed 15 points or less.

Someone who really didn’t have a Danny this week was the professional predicting site Predictz 10 (0) – and if you’ve seen their recent predictions this season you’ll not be baffled!

Correct Score of the Week:

Some crackers here, if only a few..most popular score was Rangers’ 1-2 title winning win at St Johnstone – 25 of youse got that!

Seventeen got Celtic’s 3-0 title winning victory over Dundee

11 got the five point Arsenal v Burnley 3-1

Pab, Frankie F & Paul H got the dull-all at St James’ Park

Darren McC, Rob C & Stuart F got the very annoying last minute spoiling Aston Villa 2 Leeds 3

Five got Derby 3 Millwall 0

Bry D & Kyle B believed in Southampton. A 1-3 kinda belief…

Sam A got the thrilling Hull 3 Swansea 2

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora (him! again!) for his I-couldn’t-let-Vardy-have-a-party-alone inspired, Chelsea 0 Leicester 1!

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Danny N was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 12 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

He nailed it!

3 home wins

Stoke v Millwall (in to “nil”)

Charlton v Gillingham (in to “nil” as well!)

Forest Green v Crewe (in to “nil” as well!!)

Nice one Dan – shame you missed a trick there on the BTNTS

So, £10.74 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th, leaving it very desirable on £23.51 – yay!

Great effort from all our BoTWers this season. Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…

Table News:

“Psychic Data”: Nil crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 23 places is Paul Henshaw – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+22), Eddie O (+15), Howard T (+14), Darren McC (+12) and Sam A (+10)

“These Are Not Your Memories”: Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 14 places are Danny Ashworth & Stephen Peaston – dishonourable mentions go to Predictz (-13), Nick H (-13), Nick W (-10), John K (-10) and Reagon K (-10)

Full season update is imminent once I can work out what day it is…

Actually, I’ll get it done before you go back to work – honest!

PAS Cup 2018:  

In order to be invited to enter the PAS Cup 2019 you will have to finish in the Top 32 after 13 weeks of play. Currently sneaking the last spot is…yeah right, like i’m gonna tell you that now!

Pab

He’s coming home to be special again for 2022…

“Let Your Dog Tooth Grow”: Apologies for the late update – i’ll cut to the chase!

A fine week for the 22 who smashed in 30 points or more .

Especially the seven who all had a shout of taking this week’s £20.

Will O turned the form book on its head and looked well set to win until the man of mystery mysteriously decided to randomly miss some predictions out.

One of those missed predictions was Hibs v Celtic.

Nick Woodward 39 (6) has this freak result to thank for his debut weekly win.

The luck of Irish…or was it intentional??!

“Sugar Tastes Like Salt”: Spookily, twenty two players scored 20 points or less.

Six of those didn’t get a correct score.

Sam A & Rich L had their blushes spared…

by Mark J Brown 11 (0).

Not a good week for Evertonians…

Correct Score of the Week:

The ones that were got, were got…most popular score was Swansea’s 2-1 win over Sheff Wed– 28 of youse got that!

Twenty six got City’s 3-1 win over Everton

23 got Liverpool’s 3-1 deconstruction of Man U

Eight got Villa’s “Desmond” with Stoke City

8 more just knew Dundee would score against Kilmarnock for a 3-1

Five got the two-two in Bristol. The right side of Bristol…

5 more got PNE 3 Millwall 2

Dave C, Patricia F & Richard Hu nailed Blackburn 2 Birmingham 2

Debbie L very annoying last minute spoiling Spurs 1 Burnley 0

Neil C got the bore draw between Derby & Forest

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Rob Currin for his I-hate-doing-my-scores-it’s-boring inspired, Notts County 3 Tranmere 2!

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Alex T was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 11 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

Oooops! Epic fail…

3 wins & BTTS

Villa v Stoke (they both scored but no one won!)

Blackburn v Birmingham (they both scored but no one won!)

Charlton v AFC Wimbledon (they both didn’t score & Charlton won!)

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th, leaving it the one to avoid on £0 – bah!

Danny Norbury, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Breathe easy son…

Table News:

“Blue Suitcase (Disco Wrist)”:

Jack Buxton remains stays top into the last week, but now only 5 points ahead of Ryan G, who in turn is three points ahead of Charlie H in third.

1 crashed the Top Ten.

“I Only Bought It for the Bottle”:

Alex Rossi slips down 1 place to last into the last week, one point behind Paul V who in turn is 6 points off Patricia F…

“Innit…”

“How Could I Be Wrong”: I’m with you Rafa!

The sooner VAR is here the better! Why is it not here already??! Huh? Huh?!

15 bods racked up 30 points or more this week.

And spearheading it all on Saturday night was moi, with a rather handsome well thought out 39 points.

Just one more CS over the Sunday & Monday would surely see me right. It was mine to lose, right?

Right!

Whilst all around picked up their “just one more to win it” I had to wait.

Wait til the 29th match.

And there it was, checked on the Forza app, Toon 1-1 Wolves (93 mins) – smugness ensued and dreams of £20 not leaving my account for once were real…

Charlie H, Mark P & Stephen P were all in the mix too but now overtaken…

Wolves scored in the 94th minute handing Stockport’s finest, Ric Pardoe 41 (7) the spoils.

(grits teeth) Well done Ric, I’m sure Rob C at least will share your delight!

Me? I can’t work out if I hate the ref, Toon or the Old Gold…

“Idiot Brother”: I usually feel weekly pain by being a bit rubbish.

A whopping 31 players couldn’t even reach the 20 points mark this week so maybe I should just suck it up and shut up.

A magnificent seven didn’t get a correct score.

Lagging way off the pace this week was Will Oppong 9 (0).

Still, 21 unbeaten eh Will?!   : )

Correct Score of the Week:

Just when I thought it was all over…most popular score was Dirty Leeds’ 2-1 win over QPR – 23 of youse got that!

20 got the West Midlands derby five point 2-2

Five nailed Millwall 2 Hull 2

5 more got the two-two in South Yorkshire. The right side of South Yorkshire…

Andy C, Danny N & Bijay L got Everton’s “Desmond” with Watford

Scott H, Paul V & me obviously guessed Livingston would beat St Mirren 3-1

Jamie S, Andy F & Richard Hu definitely guessed W Ham 3 Palace 2 (how?????)

Francesca F & Sam A saw their typo come good for 9 points on the game at Norwich

Stephen P landed the thrilling Man Utd 4 Fulham 1

John K made us all green by happening upon Birmingham 0-1 Bristol City

Debbie L believed in Torriera. A 1-0 kinda belief…

Dan H tinkered with the PAS timelapse cog in the back end and nabbed Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4

(he didn’t new people!)

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Alex Taylor for his I-know-how-Scottish-Prem-sure-things-work inspired, Dundee 1 Rangers 1!

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Paul H was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 10 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We won!! First full house of the season! Top work P!

3 home wins

Portsmouth

Colchester

Mansfield

So, a cheeky £8.15 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd, taking it to £11.40 – sweet!

Alex Taylor, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! An even tougher act to follow…

“Playing football the (new) Arsenal way…”

“Some Kind Of Wonderful”: Did you miss predicting your scores this week?

Or did you just decide to follow Mr 2-0?

Wise choice on either as 19 punters scored 30 points or more in a horrible week of results (for some. A lot. Me, basically…)

6 people could’ve won it as the bottom feeders rose to the top for their 15 minutes in the sun.

Newcomer Tim P could’ve won! My mum (!!) could’ve won as both racked up a seemingly implausible 35 points!

But it wasn’t to be as Steve Meaton 36 (6) was one person who didn’t “Spurs” it this week.

He left it late though as his final, crucial, correct score came in the guise of Guiseley going out the FA Cup to Joey’s Fleetwood.

Patricia was raging mate, beware…

“What’s Going On”:  I told you it was a rogue week!

Twenty nine players posted 20 points or less as the last minute goals either went in (yeah, you Pickford!) or didn’t materialise (why coudln’t we get a 5th??!)

Four poor souls had no correct scores!

Stuart F escaped the ultimate weekly humiliation, but Neil Osborne (league leader – eek!), Neil Critchlow & Paul Vinson 12 (0) all wished they had forgotten to play.

Although, technically, you could say they did just that…

Correct Score of the Week:

Not sure how, but you lot crushed it…most popular score was Rangers’ 1-2 win at Hearts – 32 of youse got that!

Eighteen just knew Rotherham would score against Norwich for a 3-1

10 got the very annoying 79th minute spoiling Man City 3 Bournemouth 1

Six got the five point Reading v Stoke 2-2

5 got the 3 goal demolition of PNE

Dave N, Chris B & Lee F got the dull-all at the Racecourse Ground

Patricia F & Alex R obviously guessed Hamilton would beat St Mirren 1-3

Mark J B saw his typo come good on the game at Sheff Utd

James C nailed Southampton 2 Man Utd 2

Richard Hu made us all green by happening upon QPR 2 Hull 3

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora for his I-know-a-goal-fest-when-I-see-one inspired, Blackburn 4 Sheff Wed 2!

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Rob C was on “Bet of the Week” position 11th in Week 9 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We won!! Another good win too!

3 home wins with BTTS

Leicester v Watford – boooo (how did Watford not score?!)

Norwich v Rotherham – hurrah (always on once Rotherham scored first!)

Blackburn v Sheff Wed – hurrah (never in doubt!)

So, a handsome £8.44 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 11th…at least it’s something!

Paul H, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Another tough act to follow…

“Feels like…”

“Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)”: It was a good week to be good!

And lots of people were good.

23 players amassed 30 points or more and all were in with a good shout of the weekly prize.

Going closest were Brett A, Mark P & Paul H – all hitting the high end of the thirties…

Close as it was though, it took a nonchalant 93rd minute goal from the Premier League runaway leaders to secure Arthur Harrison 42 (8) the £20 reward…

Congrats Mr H, that’s Scott’s Christmas pressie sorted then…

“What Have I Done To Deserve This”: This definitely wasn’t a week to be bad at PAS.

Lots of people were bad at PAS.

27 punters mustered less than twenty points – eeeek!

Suffering most were Justin Corliss & Rowan Marriott 13 (0)

See what happens when you don’t pay your entry fee on time?

Tut tut…

Correct Score of the Week:

Didn’t I do well…most popular score was Brighton’s 1-1 draw with Leicester– 36 of us got that!

Twenty six were all over the 0-3 to the Celtic

22 got the Rangers 3 goal demolition of Livingston

Sixteen got the correctly over-hyped 0-4 at the Olympic Stadium

7 got the five point Stoke v QPR 2-2

Six got the dull-all at the DW

4 got Watford 0 Liverpool 3

Julian F, Moi & Mark P got the bore draw between St Johnstone & Kilmarnock

Paul H & Richard Hu got the two-two in South Yorkshire. The wrong side of South Yorkshire…

Me (again!) & Richard Hu (again!) believed in Fulham. A 3-2 kinda belief…

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Patricia Fernandez for her don’t-call-it-a-comeback inspired, Hibs 2 Dundee 2!

Bet of the Week:

We’ve changed it up!

Debbie L was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 8 so we asked her to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.

And guess what?!

We won!! My, how we won!!

3 draws

Millwall v Bolton – tick (‘Wall never give up…)

Man Utd v Palace – tick (fair play Debs – you nailed that one!)

Swansea v Norwich – cross (Blimey, they got Fry’d!!!)

So, a whopping £12.65 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th leaving it on £13.77…kerr-chhing!!

Rob Currin, you’re up next! I need your 3 team treble by Friday please! Tough act to follow…
