PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 13 round up

“Facts”

 

Shake Your Money:

Ooops, just a bit late this week – blame the NLD.

I was at a play that Frankie was in on Sunday afternoon and only just caught up with the game at White Hart Lane – blame the drama kids.

Anyway, it was quite an unremarkable PAS week considering only 11 people managed more than thirty points!

Chris D, Charlie H & Damian W went close but they couldn’t halt old skooler Danny Ashworth 41 (7) who basically has VAR at Villa to thank for the final weekly £20 prize!

Congrats Danny boy –  gonna keep that money to buy yourself a pint at Wembley on May 25th?!

 

 

 

In The Name Of The Father:

Probably wishing they were late this week, are the eighteen bods who couldn’t rustle up more than 15 points this week.

Twelve didn’t get a correct score.

Matt Worsfold 10 (0) spared Simon Linds & me the final “shame” of the season…

Gracias me ol’ china!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Bravo!…most popular score was Huddersfield’s 1-1 draw with Birmingham City– 22 of youse got that!

 

Twelve nailed Villa 2 Chelsea 2

12 more basked in the ecstasy of Spurs 2 Arsenal 3

Six just knew PNE wouldn’t score against Leicester for a 0-3

4 obviously guessed Hibs would beat St Johnstone 1-3

Martin S, Chris D & Mike K got the dull-all at Rugby Park

Ben H, Dave C & Andy B had the “Desmond” between West Ham & Liverpool

Neil O, Matthew M & Damian W stumbled upon Newcastle Utd 5 Sheffield Utd 1

Neil C & Hira Y snaffled up the 5 points on offer for Norwich City 2 Swansea City 2

Andy C & Martin S (again) made short work of the 0-0 at Blackburn Rovers

Ryan G believed in Citeh, a 0-2 belief…

Reagon K saw his typo come good on the game at Southampton

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Chris Dixon for his trust-me-here’s-the-last-best-score-of-the-season inspired, Hull City 3 Ipswich Town 3!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Martin Stafford was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the final £3 “trixie” bet of the season.

 

And guess what?!

 

So close to a fitting ending!

 

“BotW…. I asked my boys to pick it. They forgot. So both teams to score championship special.

Hull City v Ipswich
Sheff Weds v West Brom
Cardiff v Middlesbrough
We don’t bet on darts in the age of Littler – he is the destroyer of value returns….”
Only WBA let us down by failing to score at lowly Wednesday so, I for one, hope they miss out on the playoffs…

 

So, £1.90 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £1.90 – scant consolation for missing out on PAS CL qualification (not that i’d know about that…)

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

One crashed the Top Ten.

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 27 places, is Chris Dixon – honourable mentions go to Danny A (+15), Damian W (+14), Charlie H  (+16), Eddir O (+13), Andy C (+12), Ricjh L (+14), George T (+13), and Gareth M (+14)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 12 round up

I’m telling you, these modern boots with their flimsy material & long toes…

 

 

Pearly Dewdrops’ Drop:

As another PAS season draws to a close it’s proving to be the closest one ever, so much so, that we were considering a Sky Sports style “ticker” to give out live scores during Week 13!

Yeah, that exciting!

And we were all going to wear yellow ties too…

In keeping with that “close at the top” theme, six people got 30 points or more this week (with a boatload more very close behind)

Strong claims to win the week?

An unrecognisable Neil C knocked in 3 correct scores after last gasp goals at Wolves, Cardiff & Boltonto go close, and Ben McK went closer still only for a 93rd minute Burger goal at Stoke to wee on his chips…

 

So who won then?

Matt Worsfold 38 (4) had some sweet relief from West Ham’s shellacking at Palace thanks to a 99th minute goal at Doncaster earning him a ridiculous number of points that took him just clear to claim the £20 weekly prize!

 

Boiled beef & cabbage or pie ‘n’ mash (“loads o’ liquor!”) on this fine St George’s Day then Maffew?

 

 

 

 

Cherry Coloured Funk:

Mr 2-0 did well this week.

That usually spells danger.

10 bods scored less than fifteen points this week.

Six didn’t get a sniff of a correct score (spare a thought for Will O though!)

Propping up the rest this week are Lily Templeton & Dilip Adhikari 11 (0).

To be fair, that’s hardly a disaster score.

Well.

Maybe in Week 12 it is…

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

And we’re back in the room…most popular score was Leicester’s 2-1 win against WBA– 36 of youse got that!

 

Twenty-eight obviously guessed Villa would beat Bournemouth 3-1

24 just knew Fulham would score against Liverpool for a 1-3

Six got the dull-all at the New York Stadium (that’s Rotherham, mum)

Debbie L & Greg F had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Watford

Paul C & Tim P put us all to shame by predicting Burton 3 Reading 2

Roshan T nabbed the form book upsetting Blackburn Rovers 1 Sheffield Wednesday 3

Debbie L (again!) got last minute Mr 2-0 spoiling Stoke 3 Plymouth o

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Matt Worsfold for his wait-for-it-wait-for-it-wait-for-it-wait-waittttt-booom! inspired, Doncaster Rovers 4 Barrow 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Andy Chesworth was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 11 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Oh dear.

 

“Southampton, United and Bolton all to win. Not a clue what the odds are as I honestly don’t think I’ve ever placed a bet on football, and probably never will.”
Wise words, Andy, wise words…

 

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

 

 

Martin Stafford was at 33rd this week….

 

M, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Another blast on the darts then??!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Heaven Or Las Vegas:

Game on! Dom Webber stays top, just 2 points ahead of Roshan T who, in turn, is two points ahead of Olly O in third…exciting!

 

 

One crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Blind Dumb Deaf:

Game on! Thomas Stafford stays bottom, but now only five points behind Mike K who, in turn, is one point adrift of Ben H…exciting!

 

 

 

 

Iceblink Luck:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 19 places is Peter Morley – honourable mentions go to Ben McK (+17), and Kate S (+18).

 

 

 

Sugar Hiccup:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 17 places is Andy Chesworth – dishonourable mentions go to Darren McC (-12), Ric P (-12), Sam A (-11), George T (-12) and Deepak B (-12).

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 11 round up

Bitter? Moi…?

 

 

The Kids Are Alright:

I wwwwwwonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Wait! What?! A Spurs fan? What about them? They did what??! Same score as me???! How??! But, but I did a really good score and even beat Frankie this week! Why do Spurs have spoil everything for everyone all of the time?! I can’t even have this one ray of sunshine to myself in a bleak results of a weekend??! Who was it??!

The King?!

Oh.

Ok then. I’m honoured to share a stage with him…

Yep, Pab/El Presidente/Moi & Jazz Sian 39 (5) shared the £20 weekly prize in a beast of a week that saw just 7 punters amass thirty points or more.

The added on time goals were racked up (we both got Man City & Motherwell!) and a rare victory for yours truly was ripped away by Onyeka’s 93rd minute 2nd for Brentford denying me another correct score and securing one for Jazz.

So, spoils shared as the Old Skool rise up and kinda threaten the bright young things currently dominating where it matters.

Congrats, mi amigo.

Gonna lash that tenner on you lot to beat us lot in your Cup Final at the end of the month?

 

 

 

 

I Can’t Explain:

Meanwhile….

At the other end, just under a third of youse didn’t score more than 15 points.

Beastly.

Eleven didn’t get a correct score.

And only one canary is in the coalmine marked “didn’t get to double figures”.

Ben Hogwood 8 (0) is the toast of Suffolk this week!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

At last…most popular score was Sheffield Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City – 24 of youse got that!

 

 

Thirteen revelled in the schadenfreude of Celtic’s late late 3-0 show vs St Mirren

11 nailed Nottm Forest 2 Wolves 2

Seven banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Barnsley & Reading

6 quite rightly predicted City’s 5-1 thrashing of Luton Town

Five we’re so happy for Bournemouth 2-2 Man Utd they will actually wear that ballet dress…

4 thrilled at the thrilling 99th minute deciding Southampton 3 Watford 2

Olly O & Lee T doffed a cap to Hull’s 3-0 deconstruction of the Super Hoops

Stephen P made us all green by happening upon PNE 0-1 Norwich City

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Martin Stafford for his wanna-see-dour?-I-can-dour-with-the-best-of-them inspired, Aberdeen 0 Dundee 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Nick Hogwood was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 10 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Boy done good!

 

“Slightly rouge
Draw with both teams to score – Forest vs Wolves
Draw with both teams to score – West Ham vs Fulham
More than 10.5 corners Liverpool vs Crystal Palace”
So that was a yes, a definite no and another yes…just!

 

So, £4.55 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on £7.40 – sweet!

 

 

Andy Chesworth & John King were at 45th this week….Andy was first out the hat!

 

Monsieur Chez, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

We need something special, cordon bleu…si vous plait?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Baba O’Riley:

It’s getting hot up here! Dom Webber stays top, but now only 2 points ahead of Paul V who, in turn, is one point ahead of Roshan T in third…game on!

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Substitute:

Thomas Stafford stays anchored in last place, twelve points behind Ben H who, in turn, is one correct score adrift of Mike K

 

 

 

 

I Can See For Miles:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 34 places is El Presidente – honourable mentions go to Jazz S (+31), Andy F (+15), Stuart F (+21), and Charlie H (+16).

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 10 round up

Genetics…

 

 

Paradise:

Jeez, that was a brutal week, eh?!

Only 5 players scored over thirty points and none of them got anywhere close to the £20 weekly prize winner!

Despite not predicting 3 scores, putting Hull down to win 2-6 at Cardiff(!), and a last-gasp goal at Sheff U robbing him of 4 more points, it was still won at a canter.

Added-on time winners from Luton & Huddersfield + 4 x 5 pointers landed Will Oppong 47 (9) a handsome victory.

In a good week for the Arsenal, this was also a very good week for a Gooner!

 

Well done Willo – trust the process <big smiley face emoji>

 

 

 

 

When Am I Going To Make A Living:

Jeez, that was a brutal week, eh?!

 

A massive forty one punters scored less than 15 points this week.

Of those, 9 couldn’t manage a correct score.

And it was a real bunfight to reach the bottom of the barrel…

 

Greg F, Reagon K & Nick H tried their best.

 

Only to leave Danny Ashworth 6 (0) with nothing else but being at OT to be pleased about this week.

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Erm…most popular score was Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Nottm Forest – 33 of youse got that!

 

Nine landed on that two-two in Manchester.

6 snaffled up the 5 points served up by Stoke & WBA

Five celebrated the bore draw between Livingston & Aberdeen

5 more were well away with the 0-3 away win for Arsenal

Jamie S, Will O & Martin S turned up Sunderland 0 Bristol City 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Danny B, Matt W & Dilip A got the 1-3 Hull City win over Cardiff City

Luke S had St Johnstone’s 1-2 win at Hibs

Luke S (again) had Blackburn 0 Southampton 0

Luke S (again. again!) had Motherwell’s 93rd minute 2-3 win at Dundee

Luke S Patricia F got Fulham 0 Newcastle 1

Stuart F got that two-two in Chelsea.

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Dom Webber for his i’m-not-biased-either-way-honest-i’ll-even-cross-myself-to-prove-it inspired, Rangers 3 Celtic 3!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Suman Kaflee was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 9 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

It was a “no show”.

With this week’s results, who can blame him?!

 

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd leaving it on £15.08 – luverlee job!

 

 

Peter Morley & Nick Hogwood were at 60th this week….and Nick was first out the hat!

 

Nicholas, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

I’m confident for a full house fella!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

No Ordinary Love:

All change! Dom Webber moves up 7 places to the pinnacle, 5 points ahead of Roshan T  who, in turn, is three points ahead of Dan W in third…

 

 

One crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Haunt Me:

All change! Thomas Stafford sinks one place to the bottom, eleven points behind Neil C who, in turn, is four points adrift of Mike K

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 9 round up

Pebbles.Fistful.Hit.Door.Barnes…

 

 

AKA…What A Life!:

A bit like blue crystal meth, you may drift in & out of fashion but you’ll always be what others are benchmarked against (yep, i’m watching Breaking Bad again…).

In days of yore, the Brothers Morris & their brigade regularly cleared out the PAS coffers for appointed bursar Mark S to lock away their gambling-gotten gains in a safe rumored to be in the vaults of Mr Thomas’s Chop House in Manchester.

Well, the “Syndicate” is back in fashion folks!

 

This week saw are whopping thirty-five people smash in 30 points or more, 5 topped forty or more!

Rowan M & he of the “Syndicate”, Richard H, went close with some serious scoring (yeah, serious scoring for one of them!)

Nick H was literally crossing the finish line when up rocked Daniel James with a seriously impressive finish at Elland Road (funny he couldn’t do that from half the distance a week ago, but hey…)

Our £20 weekly winner will rightly claim that 97th minute goal sealed his victory, but that was only part of a whopping 19 points that came from goals scored in added-on time!

 

Paul Henshaw 43 (7) is the golden boy this week – I’m sure your peers will toast you well P!

 

The shadowy “Syndicate” is back people.

Beware!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I Had A Gun:

…and at the other end of the scale, I think we had first!

 

Only one player scored under 15 points this week.

Only one player got zero correct scores.

Andy Brown 14 (0) it was only you.

 

I’m sure the Syndicate boys will buy you a beer mate….

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

My word…most popular score was Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw with Paliss AND Rangers’ 3-1 win over Hibs– 24 of youse & us got that!

 

Twenty one lapped up the injury time joy of Leeds 3 Hull 1

17 were all over the 0-3 to the Celtic at Livingston

Twelve(!) felt Fergie vibes when that 97th minute Ipswich goal secured a 9 pointer 3-2 v Southampton

10 were grateful to Jamie V for the 3-1 Foxes win over the Canaries

Four got Watford’s “Desmond” with Leeds

Pete B, Lee T & Dickie H had Barrow’s 3-1 win over Grimsby

Julian F decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards at the Etihad. And he did…

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rowan Marriott for his sorry-about-my-BotW-but-I-was-keeping-this-one-for-myself inspired, Newcastle 4 West Ham 3!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Rowan Marriott was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 8 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

Christ on a…
The away day special of Leeds winning at Watford, Fulham at Sheff U and Man U at Brentford was a Bank holiday weekend washout!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – one to avoid me thinks…

 

 

Suman Kaflee is at 83rd this week….

 

Herr K, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Gonna go all Bundesliga on us?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Holy Mountain:

All change! Andy Kelly moves up 1 to the top of the tree, 6 points ahead of Paul V who, in turn, is one point ahead of Roshan T in third…

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

The Dying Of The Light:

And Another Thing:

“After the [court] judgment, [Manchester United] absolutely wanted me to speak to the press. I didn’t want to but they said it’s important you have to speak to the press. So I said, OK I will speak to the press, in the sense that they want me to speak – I’ll say any old thing. They wanted me to speak, I spoke. It just came out and then I left. And the press, they all tried to find a sense to it and make it all philosophical. You know, it just came out like that; maybe it came from my subconscious and maybe unconsciously it created a sense, but the best sense of it was, you make me speak, I speak and who cares whether the words make sense” – Eric Cantona ends almost three decades of speculation as to the meaning of those “seagulls” and “sardines” remarks.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 8 round up

Starboy 2.0

 

 

Torch:

Was you expecting the points-fest on International Week as per yesteryears?

Unfortunately, it was a reality check for all as the dream of 40, 50, and 60 points remained just that, a dream.

You could tell it was a “meh” week as Mr 2-0 fared well – so well done to you if you “tactically” opted out of submitting scores this week….<growls><snarls><vomits>

Only eight clocked up 30 points or more and only none sprung forward past the forty point mark!

Paul F put up a spirited scrap for the weekly honour (undone by a 96 min equaliser at Carlisle!) but was ultimately brushed aside by a resurgent Dan Wayman 38 (6) who has Italy’s 94th minute goal “at” Ecuador to thank as it snapped him up the £20.

 

Well done Dan, finally got that “double” monkey off your back then!

 

 

 

 

 

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye:

Well, well, well. I think this is a first…

I did Frankie’s scores and managed not to get her any correct scores – hehehe! Wait? What…?

Still, 15 players couldn’t notch any more than fifteen points.

7 matched “Frankie’s” effort…

But who was the only player with a single-digit total & worst of the week?

 

Eddie Osborne 9 (0) – that’s who!

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Wevs…most popular score was Germany’s 2-1 win over the Netherlands – 21 of youse got that!

 

Seventeen just knew Wrexham wouldn’t keep a clean sheet for a 1-3 at Grimsby

12 snaffled up the 5 points served up by England & Belgium (I hope the Belgians all dye their hair ginger for the Euros btw – y’know, to really complete that “look”)

Four got the 4 goal demolition of Scotland in Holland

Emma T celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 1-2 Notts Co v Salford

Damian W put us all to shame by predicting Mansfield 1 Colchester 1

John K said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Northampton Town 1-0 Derby County

Danny B celebrated the last gasp two-all draw between Carlisle & Stevenage

Debbie L somehow stumbled on Wales 4 Finland 1 (how????)

 

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Matthew Stafford for his who-cares-about-rugby-league-when-you’ve-footie-like-this inspired, Spain 3 Brazil 3!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Justin Corliss was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Full house!
Yes, after much toing & froing over NBA & Aussie Rules games not appearing on SkyBet (and missing the Netherlands beating Scotland!) our Edinburgh-residing Man From Down Under came good…
Boston Celtics to beat Chicago Bulls – tick
Houston Rockets to beat Utah Jazz – tick
Denver Nuggets to beat Portland Trail Blazers – boom!
You li’l ripper!

So, £4.81 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – Fosters time!

 

 

Rowan Marriott is at 33rd this week….

 

Jefe, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Memorabilia:

Roshan Thepa moves up 1 to the top slot, 1 point ahead of Andy K who, in turn, is eight correct scores ahead of Louis W in third…

 

 

Two crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Insecure Me:

Neil Critchlow stays rooted to the bottom, now fourteen points behind Thomas S who, in turn, is eight points adrift of Predictz

 

 

 

 

So:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 31 places is Paul Flaherty – honourable mentions go to Dickie H (+19), John K (+20), Simon Lindq (+18), and Stuart F (+21).

 

 

 

What!:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 31 places is Eddie Osborne – dishonourable mentions go to Deepak B (-24), Sam A (-22), Paul C (-24), and Peter M (-20).

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 7 round up

Lolz…

 

Sexy Boy:

What can you say about this week?

Not a lot.

So I won’t…

Only ONE person scored over 30 points this week!

And he won it.

At a canter…

Not sure how(ay) he did it, but Chris Dixon 37 (6) rose up from the depths of 89th in the League to spectacularly snatch up the £20 weekly prize.

 

So, yeah.

Amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

J’ai Dormi Sous L’eau:

So yeah, we all did bad!

But some more badder than others.

Nineteen couldn’t even reach 15 points.

Eleven didn’t manage a correct score (spare a thought for Roshan T though!)

And two didn’t make double figures.

Elliot D’s blushes were spared by Reagon Karki 5 (0). Yep, five.

 

Not sure how you did it mate…

So, yeah.

Amazing!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

I can only gawp in awe…most popular score was Celtic’s 3-1 win over St Johnstone – 18 of us got that!

 

Nine doffed a cap to Hibernian’s 3-0 deconstruction of Livvy

Olly O, Ben H & Damian W we’re so happy for Man Utd 2-2 Liverpool they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Frankie F, Neil C & David G turned up Rotherham 0 Huddersfield 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there

Dave C & Sam A revelled in the schadenfreude of Chelsea’s late late show against Leicester in the Cup

Chris D was well away with the 0-1 away win for Sutton Utd

Louis W believed in Ross County. A 2-1 kinda belief…

Neil T had his secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at the Stadium of Light

Julian F was all over the 0-3 to Norwich at Stoke.

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stanley Marriott for his I-knew-Man Yoo-would-beat-Liverpool-too-cos-I-love-Mainoo inspired, Barrow 0 Harrogate Town 0!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Dave Crisp was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 6 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

Luton to beat Forest – ooooh!
QPR to win at Sunderland – ahhhhh!
Norwich to win at Stoke – yep
Unlucky Davide – you were close fella!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th, leaving it on £2.85 – never mind…

 

 

Justin Corliss is at 45th this week….

 

J, I need your 3 team selection by Thursday morning, please!

 

 

Can you get us back on track…in International Week?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

You Make It Easy:

Paul Vinson vaults up 3 to the top spot, 1 point ahead of Roshan T who, in turn, is five points ahead of Simon B in third…

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

All I Need:

Neil Critchlow stays propping up the rest, now ten points behind Thomas S who, in turn, is fourteen points adrift of Predictz…ha!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 6 round up

Nothing to see here…

 

Just Like Honey:

I’ll cut to the chase here as my nose is still bleeding from the heady heights of life above & beyond the “Round of Arsenal” in the Champions League…<big smiley emoji>

 

Big totals posted once again, as eighteen punters scored 30 points or more with Paul V, Julian F & Charlie H putting in half decent shifts.

Frankie F, once again benefitting from not doing her scores and muggins here doing them for her, went closer.

And Rich L went close(ish) courtesy of 3 x 90 min+ goals from Luton, Fulham & Millwall.

 

However, Sam Arora 47 (7) rolled back the years and then some.

The return of the good times guaranteed by Jacob Murphy’s 90th minute consolation at Chelsea.

 

Congrats Sam, the £20 weekly prize will be with you very soon…reckon this win can tempt the other Aroras back to the fold next season?

 

 

 

Far Gone & Out:

Seeing the rest of the field pull away from you isn’t a nice feeling is it?

5 players experienced that sinking feeling this week, scoring fifteen points or less.

Six couldn’t buy a correct score (spare a thought for poor ol’ Justin C though…)

But only one didn’t break into double figures…

Step into the light, Neil Critchlow 9 (0), you are this week’s Rotherham.

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Some corkers here…most popular score was Coventry’s 1-2 win at Watford – 28 of us got that!

 

Eleven got the very annoying last minute spoiling Chelsea 3 Newcastle Utd 2

6 nailed Hull City 2 Leicester City 2

Six more thanked the Lord for Neil Warnock and Aberdeen 3 Kilmarnock 1

4 thrilled at the thrilling Mansfield Town 3 Swindon Town 2

Rowan M & John J obviously guessed Southampton would beat Sunderland 4-2

Rukesh J nabbed the form book upsetting PNE 1 Stoke City 2

Matthew M banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Exeter & Bolton

Julian F quite rightly predicted Norwich’s 5-0 thrashing of Rotherham

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Will Oppomg for his I’m-currently-distracted-by-the-egg-chasing-but-still-able-to-pull-a-plum-like-this inspired, Celtic 4 Livingston 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Chris Dixon was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 5 so I asked him to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

“Here are my three selections for BoTW: Fingers-crossed they’ll be dancing on the streets of Hunstanton, Marchwood and Norris Green come Sunday night…”
– Norwich City to beat Rotherham United – over at HT
– Southampton to beat Sunderland – bit of a scare with 10 mins to go, but…
– Liverpool to beat Manchester City – what was Diaz doing??!
Norris Green was a distinctly dance-free streets zone…but it was close to a proper ceilidh!
Unlucky, Christopher.

So, £1.37 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd, bringing it to £13.45 – not bad!

 

 

Dave Crisp is at 60th this week….

 

Crispy, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

What a shame we just missed out on Cheltenham…

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Reverence:

Roshan Thepa remains top, 4 points ahead of Simon B who, in turn, is five correct scores ahead of Louis W in third…

 

 

One crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Darklands:

Neil Critchlow drops to the bottom, six points behind Thomas S who, in turn, is eighteen points adrift of Rukesh K

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes Always:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 37 places is Sam Arora – honourable mentions go to Julian F (+25), Rich L (+28), Charlie H (+30), Paul C (+25), and Francesca F (+20).

 

 

 

 

Upside Down:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 23 places is Pawan GC – dishonourable mentions go to Jamie S (-17), Neil M (-17), Eddie O (-20), Justin C (-20), Jack B (-18), and Patricia F (-17). Happy birthday Mum!

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 5 round up

Dropped a bol ball…

 

 

 

Check Out My New Jesus:

Well, that was some week, eh?! I did plan to rave & gush but I think it’s all been said already (thank you, Chris Wilder!) so I’ll keep my counsel like the good host I am…

In a week where we only had 29 games again due to “the curse of Barrow”, it proved really good for most. (please note: that I pulled up short on saying “wheelie good” there…)

Twenty four people managed 30 points or more and five of them cracked the 40 point threshold. And, three of them were in with a shout for the £20 prize…right to the end.

Debbie L went close and must be rueing missing predictions on 5 games, especially as Fulham’s late goal denied her a win!

Maffew W reminded us he’s still in the building, smashing home that 10 pointer, a correct score from St Mirren’s 96th & 97th goals, and another courtesy of Newcastle’s 92nd minute 3rd…

But is it ironic that his beloved ‘Ammers scoring an unnecessary third in the 95th minute was the reason that done him? (please note: I made nothing of the fact ironic has “iron” in it…)

So that left a newbie to take full advantage of beginner’s luck.

With correct scores raining in thanks to Arsenal, Erling Haaland, Aston Villa and the scourge of Neil Warnock, we witnessed a sensational victory.

 

Yep, debutant Louis Williams 47 (6) can count his lucky stars and will no doubt buy his mate Harry H a pint…as he introduced him to PAS! You will right? Shurely…

Well done Louis, winnings coming your way very soon – bravo young man!

 

 

 

 

 

Dosed & Became Invisible:

If you weren’t stuck in the middle this week, you were stuck in the mire. With me.

6 of us ended up with fifteen points or less.

Three did not record a correct score.

On a brighter note, everyone had a double-digit return!

However, the King is dead…

Jazz Sian 12(0) you regally crossed the line of shame…

All hail!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Yeah, yeah, don’t rub it in…most popular score was WBA’s 2-1 win over Coventry City – 32 of us got that!

 

Twenty had Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Paliss

17 were grateful to Erling for the 3-1 City win in the derby

Sixteen got Brentford’s “Desmond” with Chelsea

14 made us all green by happening upon Luton 2-3 Aston Villa

Nine were on that cloud after Arsenal’s 0-6 shellacking of Sheffield Utd

5 got the dull-all at Deepdale

Five more landed on the two-two in Dundee. The wrong side of Dundee, btw…

4 got the 1-3 Reading win against Carlisle Utd

Four more felt Fergie vibes when those 91st & 95th minute goals secured a 5 pointer 1-3 for West Ham at Everton

Matt W, Paul C & Damian W got Newcastle 3 Wolves 0

My mum & Rukesh K saw their typos come good on the game at Leicester!

Chris D was all alone with Bristol City 0 Cardiff City 1

Lily T doesn’t care about who dropped a ball where  – she landed Forest 0 Liverpool 1

Paul C (again!) lapped up the injury time joy of Fulham 3 Brighton 0

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Rukesh Koju for his I-might-have-only-got-two-scores-right-but-just-look-at-them! inspired, Rangers 1 Motherwell 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

I was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 3 so I asked myself to provide a 3 team selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

 

And guess what?!

 

I went for a south London special but also went with feeling over thinking…

AFC Wimbledon to beat Franchise Scum FC – yes! In the 94th minute! And back at Plough Lane!

Palace to win at Spurs – after an hour it was looking good…

Sutton to win at Tranmere – still in with a shout up to 86 minutes…

Lesson learned?

Good will overcome. Wombles are good!

Spurs spoil everything for everyone always.

Sutton (and its people) are never to be trusted. I hope they go down…

 

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – sorry…

 

 

Chris Dixon is at 83rd this week….

 

Mr D, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Let’s hope you do better than moi…

 

 

 

 

Table News:

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 4 round up

The Godfather of Madchester

 

 

 

In Yer Face:

It’s getting competitive folks!

For all of us…especially this week if you’re called Paul (except if you’re one that lives in Australia)

 

Sixteen players scored 30 points or more this week with four of them duking it out to the bitter end.

Rowan M smashed home a 5 pointer, a nine-pointer, and then a TEN pointer!

Matthew S & Paul F both benefitted from added-on-time goals at Celtic & Coventry to stake their claim to the £20 weekly prize…

But it was Paul Vinson 39 (5) who just edged it thanks to that Coventry fifth, Ipswich’s 92nd minute 3rd, and two nine-pointers including the really annoying Arseanl one (yeah, guess who had 4-0?)

 

Congrats Dr. V, I’m sure twenty nicker goes a fair way down at the Broadfield Stadium!

 

 

 

 

Ooops:

Rather aptly, 15 PASers scored fifteen points or less this week.

Alarmingly, 9 of those couldn’t register a correct score.

And,

One poor soul was all alonesome on a single digit total…

That poor soul?

 

Thomas Stafford 8 (0) is on the cusp of a really unwanted PAS hat-trick if he can score nine points or less next week…one point better than last week though T!

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Here we go…most popular score was Ipwswich’s 3-1 win over Birmingham – 28 of us got that!

 

Twenty five just knew Motherwell would score against Celtic for a 1-3

Six got the very annoying late consolation spoiling Arsenal 4 Newcastle 1

5 had Coventry’s merciless deconstruction of Maidstone Utd

Four will shout out loud about the humbling of Leicester by Leeds

Nick H & Kate S had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Wem-ber-lee

Rowan M & Deepak B somehow stumbled on West Ham 4 Brentford 2 (how????)

Danny B put us all to shame by predicting Sunderland 1 Swansea City 2

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Dave Crisp for his if-you-think-this-is-impressive-you-should-see-my-Cheltenham-tips inspired, Ross County 3 Livingston 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

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

 

And guess what?!

 

It went a bit on the pitch scrappy Sheff U…

 

“Right, let’s hope I can pick 3 winners and improve my reputation as it’s not going swimmingly in the table!
Let’s have Coventry to beat Preston on Friday night (more confident on that one than against mighty Maidstone on Monday!).
Next up, Southampton to batter Millwall. No-brainer.
Last but not least, Villa to win at home to Forest.
I know logic should tell me to pick Wolves but I can’t bet against my Blades, even though we have been embarrassingly bad this season. I won’t do it!
There you have it! Let’s hope we get some revenue!”

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – oh well…

 

El Presidente is at 33rd this week….(sort’ve – when you see the table you’ll understand my dilemma decision on this one!)

 

Reminder to self – I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

I will get us back on track!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Olympic:

Simon Buxton goes top, 4 points ahead of Mike C who, in turn, is two points ahead of Roshan T in third…

 

 

Three crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

Lopez:

Thomas Stafford stays bottom, now thirteen points behind Neil C who, in turn, is two correct scores adrift of Gary M

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cubik:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 35 places is Paul Flaherty – honourable mentions go to Paul V (+30), Rowan M (+32), Rob C (+21), Matthew S (+29), and Paul H (+22).

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 36 places is Sam Osmond – dishonourable mentions go to Will O (-33), Lee T (-23), Charlie H (-29), and Mark S (-23)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 3 round up

Crwoydon’s finest…

 

 

 

Lucky Man:

It was a lively Week 3 right up to, erm, Monday 9.45pm!

A tightly contested field was bunched together as 16 punters reached & breached the 30 point mark.

And, 4 went above & beyond (to the hallowed 40 point threshold) and each of them really could have won it!

It could’ve been Lee T (who must be kicking himself for missing Friday’s game!). Or maybe Justin C (who slammed in 2 x 9 pointers), or Simon B might have even nicked it (but he believed a little too much in that Palace farewell pressie!)

 

Ultimately it came down to a 94th minute Hudson-Odoi goal twinned with five correct scores from the last 8 games that swung it…

 

Charlie Harris 44 (8) must be buzzing as his beloved Trees did the trick and secured him the weekly £20 prize.

 

Good work Chas – like Forest, you’re back <winking emoji>

 

 

 

 

 

On Your Own:

Oooof!

 

Only eight failed to notch up more than 15 points this week.

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

Only one didn’t hit double figures.

 

Thomas Stafford 7 (0) spared the blushes of Neil C and put the Wigan family honour into disrepute… <fuming emoji>

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Impressive…most popular score was Man Yoo’s 1-2 win at Luton – 27 of youse got that!

 

Eighteen were all over the 0-3 to Rangers at St Johnstone

9 banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt PNE & Blackburn

Seven snaffled up the 5 points served up by Aberdeen v Hibs

4 we’re so happy for Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth they will actually wear that ballet dress in celebration…

Four more celebrated the 4-1 smiting of Reading by Pompey

Neil O, Debbie L & Justin C quite rightly predicted Liverpool’s 1-4 thrashing of Brentford

John K just knew QPR would keep a clean sheet for a o-1 at Bristol City

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Matt Worsfold for his I-might-still-be-sulking-about-that-shellacking-from-Arsenal-last-week-but-I-can-still-do-PAS-well-good inspired, Norwich City 4 Cardiff City 1!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

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

 

And guess what?!

 

We won (sort’ve)…

 

“An FL72 special – Ipswich, Bolton & Wrexham all to win”

 

Only Charlton getting a very unexpected 3-3 draw at Bolton stopped a 2nd full house in a row…

So, £2.85 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – steady start…

 

 

Andy Brown is at 45th this week….

 

Mr B, I need your 3 team selection by Friday morning, please!

 

 

Let’s keep that streak going…

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

Sonnet:

Mike Cass stays top, but now only 4 points ahead of Simon B who, in turn, is six points ahead of Danny A in third…

 

 

Four crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

History:

All change! Thomas Stafford drops 2 places to the bottom, five points behind Neil C who, in turn, is two points adrift of Gary M

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bitter Sweet Symphony:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 59 places is Charlie Harris – honourable mentions go to Justin C (+39), Richard H (+28), Tony M (+28), Lee T (+50), Moi (+30), and Paul F (+30).

 

 

 

 

The Drugs Don’t Work:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 37 places is Stanley Marriott (welcome to the Big Boy league kiddo!) – dishonourable mentions go to Martin S (-20), Kate S (-25), Deepak B (-25), Nick H (-22), Damian W (-21), Rob C (-20), and Luke S (-41)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 2 round up

Sixy Beast…

 

 

 

You’re Pretty Good Looking:

If you felt like you had a good chance of winning this week (yes, Frankie did her own scores this week…), unfortunately, you were probably way off the mark!

It was a stretched-out week with a whopping thirty players scoring over 30 points AND 7 punters scoring over forty points… and they were all very much on the mark!

All vying for the £20 prize right to the end…

Mark S landed 9 Toon points & new kid in town, Stanley M got an early lesson on why you should predict on every game (but TBF, he did pick up a correct score from the two games he missed!)

Sam O was another youngster to miss 2 games (but pick up 5 points) but then got robbed by Spurs & a Fernandez whilst Deepak B was praising a Fernandez and that 95th minute consolation for Inverness AND also got 5 points from 2 missed games – phew!

Still with us…

Good.

Emma T racked up 21 correct results & seven correct scores that included that 5 pointer at Inverness.

That left two out front.

Jason M amassed an incredible 23 correct results (I trust you had a big acca in Jay?!) and seven correct scores that benefitted from last gasp goals for Spurs & Ipswich Town.

However, despite being robbed by a Fernandez last night AND missing FIVE games, new kid on the block Mike Cass 47 (9) roared home courtesy of those missed games giving him the 2 correct scores that got him over the line.

 

Wowsers.

 

The self proclaimed “Darling of Darlo” is living up to the hype – game on ladies & gents. game on!

 

 

 

 

Icky Thump:

Meanwhile…

 

Four poor souls scored 15 points or less at the other end.

3 didn’t register a correct score.

 

Gareth Morgan 13 (0) must be feeling a bit Kanesy right now…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Woe is me…most popular score was Leicester’s 1-2 win at Watford – 31 of youse got that!

 

Twenty eight got the 3 goal demolition of Rotherham Utd by Leeds Utd

15 got the 1-3 Hibees win over Inverness C T in the Scottish Cup

Fifteen more felt Fergie vibes when that Enzo F 94th minute goal secured a 5 pointer 1-3 at Palace

14 had Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Burnley

Thirteen got Ipswich’s last minute “Desmond” with WBA

10 were grateful for the 3-1 Mackem win over the Pilgrims

Six nailed QPR 2 Norwich City 2

6 more obviously guessed Toon would beat Forest 2-3

Five believed in Blackburn. A 3-1 kinda belief…

Darren McC & Rowan M nabbed the form book upsetting Fulham 3 Bournemouth 1

Damian W was well away with the 1-2 away win for Bristol City at Boro

 

 

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Stanley Marriott for his I-might-only-be-9-but-i’m-gonna-be-so-good-at-this-game inspired, Cardiff City 0 Preston North End 2!

 

 

 

 

 

Bet of the Week:

Stuart Fitzsimon 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?!

We wonnnnnnnnnnnn!

“I’ve gone for three away wins:

I have to go for The Arsenal, right? Firstly because I continue to play predict-a-score with my heart over my head, but also because West Ham are due some measure of comeuppance for that turgid yet lucky display at ours back in December. So Arsenal away at West Ham.

Then Leicester away at Watford. Watford keep losing at home and Leicester are generally steamrolling everyone.
Lastly I’ve gone for the HUUUGE six pointer down the bottom of the Scottish Championship. Queens Park have picked up a few wins recently whereas Dunfermline have not, so I’m going with form on that one”
That’s the way you do it!
Our first full house for a while – bravo sir, bravo!

So, £12.08 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – what a start!

 

 

David Goggin & Jazz Sian are at 60th this week….The King was first out the hat, so…

 

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

 

Can you follow that performance?

Bring the halcyon days back fella!

 

 

 

 

Table News:

 

My Doorbell:

All change at the top, Mike Cass goes up one place, opening up a lead of 11 points ahead of Jason M who, in turn, is two correct scores ahead of John J in third…

 

 

Six crashed the Top Ten!

 

 

 

 

 

I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself:

All change at the bottom, Gary Mitchell slides 5 places to the basement slot, two points behind Tim P who, in turn, is two points adrift of Thomas S

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seven Nation Army:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 72 places is Emma Tudor – honourable mentions go to Jason M (+39), Stanley M (+45), Ric P (+43), Deepak B (+71), Sam O (+57), Damian W (+38), Matthew M (+34) and Rob C (+25).

 

 

 

 

The Hardest Button To Button:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 54 places is Pete Britton – dishonourable mentions go to Jamie S (-35), Greg F (-41), Simon Linds (-38), Matthew S (-43), Paul F (-35), and Gareth M (-41)

PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’24 Week 1 round up

 Current champ Andy Fowler (trophy incoming!) will have a puzzle to distract him from defending his title…but can you take his crown?

 

 

My Lady Of Mercy:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Arsenal celebrating on the pitch – PAS!

Although, given the sharpness of this update, I could’ve waxed lyrical about “50ps/spitting/a twisted inside out Carra”, how karma works (Granit goes & I come back, and it looks like we’ll both win a title! Everyone’s happy…) and gone into the absurdness of that unnecessary thing called VAR…

 

But I won’t.

 

I’ll cut to the chase as it was all about the “hot out the blocks” points trailblazers – and, they deserve props, right?

Three PASers were 3 x flame emojis this weekend and Nick Hogwood 33 (5) nailed 2 x 5 pointers to power to victory (actually he’s probably more indebted to a certain Everton centre back…)

Martin S eschewed the charms of Mr 2-0 & put up a good fight and plucky newcomer, Mike C, who arrived with big pre-season braggadocio, was only denied a debut first outing win by young Branthwaite of Everton! Oooof!

Also, spare a thought for Roshan T who saw 8 points disappear courtesy of 94th & 91st goals in Liverpool & Burnley also denying him a weekly win – that’s a tough one to take R!

 

 

So, congrats Mr H, £20 winging its way back to you ASAP – everything else is a bonus for you this season now!

 

 

Nothing Matters:

Did you score 30 points + this week? Wow, we’re in awe…

Only three of you managed that, but a whopping 33 punters couldn’t manage 15 points this week  – and a more whopping 22 of those couldn’t muster a correct score!

Shocking.

Not as shocking as Kev’s new hair though, eh?

Anyway…

Everyone bar one managed to break into double digits – so feeling no joy in Week 1 is Orla McKeown 7 (0).

Miss McK, you spared Mr 2-0’s – you’re too kind young lady!

 

 

 

Correct Score of the Week:

Game on people…most popular score was Man City’s 1-3 win at Brentford – 30 of youse got that!

 

Twenty-three doffed a cap to Rangers’ 3-0 deconstruction of Livingston

5 revelled in the schadenfreude of Everton’s late late show

Simon Lindq, Danny A & John J lapped up the injury time joy of Burnley 2 Fulham 2

El Presidente & newbie Louis W celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that epic 3-1 lap of honor-worthy mauling of Liverpool

Paul C & Damian W got Man Utd 3 West Ham Utd 0

Danny B made us all green by happening upon Dundee 2-3 Heart of Midlothian

 

 

However, this week’s best correct score, and current Correct Score of the Season, goes to John King for his I-bet-it-was-all-Football-Factory-in-Sussex inspired, Brighton & Hove Albion 4 Crystal Palace 1!

 

 

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, Stuart Fitzsimon is first up.

Fitz, I need your 3 selections by Friday please! It can be homes, aways or draws. Or a mix of all three. 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 Gooner…

Oh, did you see this on Guardian’s Football Daily the other day? Was this you Tricky?!

“Kev McCready has introduced a Schrödinger’s cat of complexity into goal celebrations (Friday’s letters). If the only time certain players hit the target is when they are throwing darts, then they will never hit the (goal) target and so will never throw darts and will never hit the (darts) target. Are they both throwing and not throwing darts at the same time?” – Richard Hirst.

 

 

 

 

Twitter is dead & so is Instagram – but we’ve got a What’s App group!

Wanna join?

Why?

Well, I send round reminders that you don’t have to check your email for.

Erm…some people are quite funny (some are annoying) & hopefully, we’ll get some good pics of away fans at games.

We will crush any “hilarious GIFs” though…

Plus, you can gloat when you land that 9 pointer in the 91st minute!
