“Innit”:

So, who won?

Well, you’d never have guessed…

Reviving the perennial trend of leading from the front (well, from around the halfway stage) & winning at least one weekly prize (two this time!), this was a story of siblings duking it out for a winning campaign – one that gives us all, erm, hope…?

It was all a bit “SPLy” this season as two players jostled for the top spot on a regular basis – yeah, it was that type of season!

Whilst Celtic did what The Bhoys do with their faith-based belief & consistency in the real world, our champion pretty much went down the route of keep on doing it and it will come good…eventually. (Like Rangers, but achieving)

A few players kinda threatened to win it, but…

We went into the final week with 49 points separating the Top Five & we finished pretty much the same – the overall tallies were high (I’m still nonplussed!)  – and featuring in the “Best Totals Ever” (you have to get 350+ points, and the Top 3 obliterated that!) was on the cards for 9 of the Top Ten…

Chapeau!

Our “Spring” champ started the season off at an optimistic 18th, jumping to 8th in Week 2.

Week 3 it was up to 3rd, and then the summit was reached with a weekly winning score of 43 (8) in Week 4

Any dips?

Yep.

Week 5 saw a “plummet” to 2nd, cemented in Week 6

Week 7, and it was top of the table!

And there they remained

A season high score of 44 (9) in Week 9 brought another weekly win and a league winning buffer to boot!

Even a season low score in Week 13 didn’t spoil the party…

So, be upstanding lords, ladies & gents and doff your caps to Ben Hogwood 402 (61) – He. Is. A. Winner!

This victory slots into number 3 on the the “all-time” highest winning totals table (check it here!) and Ben is now the top scorer of correct scores in one season!

Bravo Benjamin – Jeremy Goss, Steven Fry, Olivia Coleman, Cathy Dennis and Kevin Keelan have all, once again, sent telegrams of congratulations…Delia & Daniel are yet to respond.

Ben won by a slender(?) 8 points in the end from a very very unlucky brother,  Nick Hogwood, in second place. He was top for five weeks and NEVER out the Top 2 (there is some scant consolation though Nick…)

Harry Hopper finished a fine season thirteen points behind in third spot (probably waving at mum, Kate S in the distance) and Pete Britton settled into 4th spot a further 17 points back (in anger?!)

SuperHoop of our QPR contingent was Jonathas Moitas a further four points behind in 5th – who, in turn, was 5 correct scores ahead of a refreshed & reinvigorated Paul Vinson in sixth position (from 89th the season before!)

Dom Webber was 7 points behind in seventh spot. Second season in a row Dom…you’re becoming Millwall-like, mate!

Just two points further back, Mike Cass can reflect on a vey rewarding season in eighth place.

And, speaking of fine seasons, one correct score behind him in 9th, last year’s title winner Hira Yonzan! (more on him & Mike later!)

Two points back, smug Liverpool fan Ryan Graves just edged out the unlucky Peter Morley to claim tenth by 1 point…

“INEOS”: 

Only 12 points, but 38 places, separated our new champion from our wooden spoon “champion”, Laura Harrison 234 (23) in Week 1!

So close yet so far, eh, Laura?!

Oh well, I’m with you praying for better luck next season…cos it’s ALL luck, right??!

Starting in 74th, poor Laura never really recovered.

Like a magnet drawn to a rubbish scoring metal beacon, she dropped to 83rd in Week 2, then…

Week 3 it was down to 97th.

Week 4 was a further drop to 103rd

Week 5 saw a climb to 100th and Week 6 saw a further climb to 98th!

Then…

Week 7, with a season low 12 (0), it was to the basement berth 110th.

Another 12 (0) in Week 8 shored up the bottom slot…

And there she stayed, despite a season high score of 26 (3) in Week 12, securing the wooden spoon (as one PAS Board member sighed with relief…).

Dave N, Mr 2-0, Thomas S, and a dazed & confused, hopelessly lost Rob C, all made gallant efforts over the season to save Laura’s blushes, but…

Spot Prizers

Ok, YOU have finished on these positions AND you HAVE WON those prizes!

Simon Buxton on 13th, Neil Templeton on 17th, Charlie Harris on 23rd, Jamie Sellers on 27th, Rob Leland on 33rd, Seb De Sousa on 39th, Stephen Peaston & Neil Meredith on 42nd, Darren McCarthy on 45th, Julian Fernandez on 57th, Tony Morris on 60th, Sam Browne on 65th, Greg Fleming & Norman Lee on 72nd, Dan Hogwood & Andy Fowler on 83rd, Samir Rizk & Mike Kranowski on 89th and Stanley Marriott on 93rd…

PAS Champions League 2024/25:

The final between Mike Cass & Ryan Graves concluded with “Part Two” on May 31st 2025…

Mike Cass 45 (12) – 43 (9) Ryan Graves

Mike Cass 28 (5) – 25 (3) Ryan Graves – Part One

Mike Cass 17 (7) – 18 (6) Ryan Graves – Part Two

It was a proper nailbiter (thanks to that goal-fest on May 31st) and, here at PAS Towers, we were having kittens about the nightmare scenario of extra time…

Congrats to our new CL Cup holder – Mike, you are the PSG of PAS!

PAS Cup 2025:

The final between Hira Yonzan & Lily Templeton concluded on May 31st 2025…

Hira Yonzan 35 (8) – 23 (4) Lily Templeton

Hira Yonzan 20 (2) – 12 (0) Lily Templeton – Part One

Hira Yonzan 15 (6) – 11 (4) Lily Templeton – Part Two

A keenly contested affair that wasn’t helped by a very “unpredictable” Final…

But, congrats to our new Cup holder – Hira, you are the Super Paliss of PAS!

PAS Champions League 2025/26 Group Stages

Congratulations to mi amigo bueno, Mark Seels, for sneaking the last spot (by two points!) for entry to PAS Champions League 2025/26 Group Stages.

The Top 32 have qualified and the big draw will take place when the real CL one does…no, we’re not doing that format!

Other little bits 

Nick Hogwood (is it more galling losing the League to your bruvver?!) picks up £10 for the Best Weekly Score of the Season on Week 1 –  52 (8)

Simon Lindsay picked up £10 for getting the Best Correct Score of the Season – San Marino 1 Romania 5!

Plaudits

Thanks again to all for taking time and bothering to play, we couldn’t do it without you!

And a final big thank you to Dave N & Dan H for providing all the behind-the-scenes tech stuff to enable another great (relatively glitch-free!) season…

See you very soon PASers.

Cheers, and enjoy your summer…

Oh,

look at this from Sky Super 6!

come and have a go next season…   : )

Pab

“Oh.Dear.Gawd”

“Smile”:

Football is so old fashioned with it’s arbitrary rules like “goals” deciding games instead of forward thinking metrics like XG…

Anyway, thank you all for playing this season. I’m so glad it’s over!

So the last week of a, quite frankly, bizarre season went like this –

Only five punters managed to score 30 points or more.

Three of those could have won the final £20 weekly prize.

Andy F went really close but Motherwell’s 91st minute goal put pay to that.

George T went really really close!

He too was done by Motherwell, but it still looked all on from him until a certain C Palmer popped up to break his 19 game duck with a 96th minute penalty.

Strewth!

That left Superhoop Matthew Eadie 36 (5) out front with a pair of 5 pointers helping him on his way…(w)hoop (w)hoop!

How he’ll feel about Chelsea helping him out is, I guess, a bit like wanting Man Utd & Spurs to both lose in a Cup Final…

Bitter?

Moi?!

The Final Five

Assists

nothing to see here…

“How Can I Make It Ok?”:

Relax. It’s all over.

And we get the summer off!

16 of us scored no more than fifteen points this week.

Seven didn’t register a correct score.

Propping us all up in the final week?

Mark J Brown & Leo Clarke 10 (1)

Bet they don’t feel as deflated as I do though… <sob>

Correct Score of the Week:

Thank God this is over too…most popular score was Hull’s status saving 1-1 draw at Portsmouth– 19 of youse got that!

Sixteen lapped up the injury time joy of Burnley 3 Millwall 1

14 were grateful for the 3-1 Charlton win over Burton

Thirteen just knew Ross County would score against Hearts for a 1-3

11 made us all green by happening upon Hibs 3-1 Dundee Utd

Seven turned up Derby 0 Stoke 0. The most obvious bore draw ever. Even I got it!

Ben McK & Damian W banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt Bristol City & PNE

Dan W was well away with the 0-1 away win for QPR at Sunderland

Neil C saw his typo come good on the game at St Mirren

Julian F snaffled up the 5 points served up by Everton & Ipswich

Paul V put us all to shame by predicting Norwich City 4 Cardiff City 2

However, the final week’s best correct score goes to Matthew Stafford for his there’s-always-a-six-goal-thriller-on-the-last-game-of-the-season inspired, Swansea City 3 Oxford United 3!

Bet of the Week:

Jack Buxton 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?!

All a bit “Nahsenal”…

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £6.53 – scant consolation for missing out on PAS CL qualification (not that I’d know about that…)

Table News:

One crashed the Top Ten.

“Bros”:  

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 19 places, is Matthew Eadie – honourable mentions go to George T (+15), Simon Linds (+10), Julian F  (+11), Sam B (+13), Howard T (+11), Greg F (+14), Dan H (+10), and Dan W (+10)

“Don’t Delete The Kisses”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 16 places, is Mark J Brown – dishonourable mention goes to Eddie O (-11)

Special thanks to Dan & Dave once again for all their tireless work behind the scenes – they’ve made us amazing yet again!

That’s it for this season! Well, nearly….full season update to follow…

Mwwahhhhahaha…

Cheers,
Pab

“Congrats, scousers… “<twenty clapping hands emojis>

“Cool”:

Ever feel your like that kid with his nose pressed up against the window of a place you just can’t get in to?

Enough about my season though…look what happened this week!

It was another high scoring week (nope, me neither…) with twenty-nine people amassing 30 points or more.

Three of those broke the 40 point marker.

Hira Y reminded us of last season’s form smashing home eight correct scores (including 2 x 5 pointers) and no less than four added-on time “assists”.

And he still didn’t win.

Or come second…

Mark S is the “Syndicate” darling right now, chalking up a 9 pointer and a TEN pointer for a mid-forty point tally.

And he still didn’t win.

It was all on for my ol’ mucker only for dirty Leeds to snatch it away in the 94th minute of the last game.

Ouch.

That left Ric Pardoe 49 (9) out front as his EFL72 knowledge came to fruition giving him an amazing correct score haul that, surprisingly, only just got him over the line to take the £20 weekly prize

Congrats Ricardo – i’m assuming you’ll stick that score on a Stockport promotion/Arsenal CL champions double then, eh?!

The Nifty Nine

Assists

B Sharp (90′ + 1) – Doncaster

R Crichlow-Noble (90′ + 4) – Bradford

D Williams (90′ + 3) – Burton

E Riis (90′) – Preston

“Crash”:

Meanwhile in Croydon…

Yessssss, you know about my trials & tribulations but i’m not the only one (thank God!)  – four punters scored 15 points or less this week!

Six didn’t get a correct score (even I got one! Ok, by default, but…) and Frankie F looked for all intent & purpose she’d be bottom of the pile this week.

Then the gentleman that is Will Oppong 11 (0) saved her blushes.

Too kind Will, too kind…

Correct Score of the Week:

I can’t wait til this season is over…most popular score was Fulham’s 1-2 win at Southampton– 29 of youse got that!

Twenty three doffed a cap to Newcastle’s 3-0 deconstruction of Ipswich

21 believed in Wolves. A 3-0 kinda belief…

Seven decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Cardiff v WBA. And they did…

Martin S, Bijay L & Lee T got Wrexham 3 Charlton 0

Patricia F, Mike K & Alan C somehow stumbled on St Mirren 2 Rangers 2 (how????)

Matt W, Lily T & Alan C (again!) revelled in the schadenfreude of Brighton’s late late show against Potter’s mob

Bijay L (again!) & Samir R had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at The Riverside

Rob C & Matthew S felt Fergie vibes when this Romazani 94th minute goal secured a 8 pointer 4-0 at Leeds on Monday night

Pete C & Sam W had Celtic’s merciless deconstruction of Dundee Utd

Mark S & Greg F thrilled at the thrilling Liverpool 5 Spurs 1

Debbie L nabbed the form book upsetting Aberdeen 1 Hibs 0

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Mark Seels (again!) for his I-bet-Pab-put-nil-nil-for-this-meaning-it’ll-then-be-a-thriller inspired, Motherwell 3 St Johnstone 2!

Bet of the Week:

Ciaran Nolan was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 11 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Oh.

“Middlesbro to win + over 2.5 goals, Cardiff to win & Wrexham to win”

Nil-nil, 0-0 & yes!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on £2.43 – ummmm…

Jack Buxton is at 33rd this week….

Jackie Boy, I need your 3 selections for the trixie by Friday morning, please!

Lets have a winner so we can round off the season nicely…

Table News:

“The Real Thing”:

Ben Hogwood stays top, now “only” eleven points ahead of Nick H who, in turn, is thirteen points ahead of Harry H in third…

Two crashed the Top Ten!

“Hollaback Girl”:

Laura Harrison stays bottom, 7 points behind Dave N who, in turn, is four points adrift of Mr 2-0…

Come on you two, you can do it!

“What You Waiting For?”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 24 places is Ric Pardoe – honourable mentions go to Lily T (+14), Kate S (+19), Mark S (+19), Neil M (+15), and Greg F (+17).

“Serious”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 19 places is Francesca Fernandez – dishonourable mentions go to Will O (-13), Leo C (-13), David G (-12), Andy C (-11), Ben McK (-14), Eddie O (-18), and Lee P (-15).

“I think I showed I could do it [on a cold, rainy night in Stoke] many times. It was very windy there and the fans were always behind us – it was a loud stadium“

Xherdan Shaqiri reckons he is living proof that tricky little flair players can deal with the often grim conditions that come with playing football on top of a hill in north Staffordshire.

Shaq has been ripping it up at Basel this season, with 13 goals and 14 assists in 26 starts. Ledge.

“Hundred Mile High City”:

Is it irony or coincidence (Alanis! Get over here!) that the biggest PAS field for an age has come in the same season that it’s nearly impossible to predict scores?

Okay, okay, yeah, it’s just me…I know. I know.

Twenty-one players scored thirty points or more this week and 12 of them could’ve won it.

Bun fight central!

The secret to the success?

Miss at least 12 games it seems…

Dickie H did that and was within 4 points of taking the £20 weekly prize.

Norman L only missed two games, the fool!

David B missed 13 games and was robbed by Burton AND Chelsea.

Richard H & Simon B (obviously, they’re oldskool) did all their predictions only to be done over by QPR

Stephen P missed 13 games, got a 9 pointer only to be halted by Burton.

Elliot D missed 12 games and still only came up short by 2 points!

Nick H kept it honest with all 30 predictions and still missed out by a point!

Justin C missed 17 games, got an 8 pointer, and benefited from a Spurs late goal but still missed out. By a correct score!

So who won?

Gareth Morgan & Sam Arora 37 (6) somehow shared the spoils this week despite doing nearly everything to ensure the exact opposite.

Gareth missed a whopping 19 (NINETEEN) games, got a 0-4 and a last gasp assist – Sam did exactly the same but only missed 15 games…

Ummm, congrats chaps?!

The anti-Mr 2-0 brigade will be incandescent with such an outrage and lobbying for “changes” to our beautiful game!

And for once, I agree…

The Sharing Six (GM & SA)

Assists

Pedro Neto (90′ + 3) – Chelsea

Fabio Tavares (90′ + 4) – Burton

“Giving It All Away”:

Scoring fifteen points this week wasn’t actually that bad…

Nine punters didn’t get any more than that though and 6 of them got zero correct scores (you missed the wrong games people!)

Only one young lady didn’t get into doubler figures though.

Emma Tudor 9 (0) you’re having more of a ‘mare than me this season.

Shame on you!

Correct Score of the Week:

Maaaate…most popular score was Burnley’s 2-1 win over Sheff U– 33 of youse got that!

Eight will shout out loud about the 0-4 humbling of Ipswich by Arsenal

Stephen P, Dave C & Paul F were all over the Scottish Cup Semi-Final 0-5 to the Bhoys

David G & Matthew E got the dull-all at St James’ Park…no, not that one, that one

Richard H said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Derby 0 Luton 1

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Paul Henshaw for his I-knew-Paliss-wouldn’t-concede-after-the-5-the-other-night inspired, Crystal Palace 0 Bournemouth 0!

Bet of the Week:

Lee Taylor was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 10 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

Oops!

“All to win…”

Everton – oh!

Newcastle – ooof!

Man Utd – <rolls eyes>

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th leaving it on £6.63 – better than nowt!

Ciaran Nolan & Andy Kelly are at 45th this week….Ciaran was first out the hat, so…

Gooner!, I need your 3 selections for the trixie by Friday morning, please!

Lets have a winner so we’ve got something to talk about at the PSG game next week!

Table News:

“Do Yourself A Favour”:

Ben Hogwood stays top, now “only” sixteen points ahead of Nick H who, in turn, is twelve points ahead of Harry H in third…

Two crashed the Top Ten!

“You’ve Got It Bad”:

Laura Harrison stays bottom, 10 points behind Dave N who, in turn, is one point adrift of Rob C…

“The Day We Caught The Train”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping(?) 17 places is David Bell – honourable mentions go to Norman L (+16), Damian W (+14), Justin C (+16), Gareth M (+16), and Elliot D (+14).

“Sway”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping(?) 16 places is Simon Lindsay – dishonourable mentions go to Predictz (-12), Sam B (-12), MArtin S (-13),  and Emma T (-14).

“Refreshing…more Super Bock than XXXX”

“Knock Me Down”:

Blimey!

Only four PAS punters scored more than 30 points this week…and they all could’ve won the £20 weekly prize!

Another mad week of results saw the Fernandez clan all, somehow, score 24 points each.

Trust me, that’s mad…

Even madder, Emma T chalked up the same amount with only 1 correct score (I hope she had a few accas on the go cos that’s a mad amount of correct results!)

Ben McK smashed home a mad injury time 10 pointer along with a nine pointer and also collecting a correct score courtesy of John McGinn’s 94th minute goal.

Matthew S quietly crept up on the blindside, netted a big correct score but fell short. Bah.

Jamie S was in & nearly there, only to be ultimately scuppered by that late Villa goal – harsh!

So, that left a tale of the ridiculous to the sublime.

Just one week after the ultimate humiliation, Charlie Harris 35 (6) came roaring back!

Mad!

Pompey repaid him in kind for his support whilst studying down there back in the day – a 91st minute equaliser for 5 big points.

But the clincher was knowing that Fat Frank’s outfit would wobble when it really matters, whilst everyone else had them down to win at Hull…

Congrats Chas – you can buy your own pints this week!

The Saving Six

Assists

R Atkinson (90′ + 1 ) – Portsmouth

“Taste The Pain”:

The madness continues…

Twenty six people failed to notch a correct score.

Actually, that’s not surprising really…

Thirteen didn’t score more than 15 points this week.

Two poor souls didn’t make double figures.

Danny A’s blushed were spared though.

Jazz Sian 8 (0) limped home bottom of the pile & in the gutter.

Pauper-like perfromance from The King…

Mad!

Correct Score of the Week:

Another brutal week at the coalface…most popular score was West Brom’s 2-1 win over Watford– 24 of youse got that!

Fifteen got the very annoying last minute spoiling Southampton 0 Aston Villa 3

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

Five snaffled up the 5 points served up by Pompey & Derby

4 bribed D&D to tinker with the PAS timelapse cog in the back-end, and waltzed off with Newcastle 4 Man Utd 1

Martin S, Chris D & Dom W got the dull-all at Motherwell

El Presidente, Charlie H & Sam W quite rightly predicted Hibernian’s 4-0 thrashing of Dundee

Pete B, Matthew S & Emma T celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 3-2 for St Mirren over Ross County

Rich L had Bournemouth’s 1-0 win over Fulham

Rowan M nabbed the form book upsetting Sheff Wed 0 Oxford Utd 1

Norman L just knew Brentford would score against Arsenal for a 1-1

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to Ben McKeown for his I-knew-zero-people-would-have-Killy-to-score-and-bingo! inspired, Celtic 5 Kilmarnock 1!

Bet of the Week:

David Bell was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 9 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

We won!

“All home wins & BTTS…”

Forest – not in

Wolves – well in

Toon – well in

So, £8.72 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd leaving it on £13.99 – howay, man!

Lee Taylor is at 60th this week….

Mr T, I need your 3 selections for the trixie by Friday morning, please!

Vamos!

Table News:

“Aeroplane”:

Ben Hogwood stays top, now a surely unassailable twenty-nine points ahead of Nick H who, in turn, is eight points ahead of Harry H in third…

Two crashed the Top Ten!

“Breaking The Girl”:

Laura Harrison stays bottom, 9 points behind Sam A who, in turn, is one point adrift of Dave N…

“Suck My Kiss”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 26 places is Charlie Harris – honourable mentions go to Jamie S (+20), Ben McK (+24), and Matthew S (+24).

“Give It Away”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping(?!) 15 places is Neil Critchlow – dishonourable mentions go to Greg F (-11), Paul H (-10), and Andy C (-10).

“It’s just like watching Brazil…”

“Roses”:

I’m rarely left speechless, but that routing of Madrid was the second time it happened this week.

The first?

The predicting prowess of PASers this week! Well, most of you…

In a horror week (for me anyway) of results, twenty two of you scored 30 points or more!

Of which, two went beyond the 40 point marker with an astonishing amount of correct scores.

Seven correct scores will almost definitely do it for you winning a week, but six punters didn’t even get close with that amount – yeah, blimey!

Rich L notched up 8 and must be kicking himself for not predicting on the Hearts game on Sunday – duh!

That left two to duke it out, and duke it out they did.

Harry H missed the Friday night game and must have thought landing Spurs & Newcastle for a total of 9 (nine!) correct scores would bag him the £20 weekly prize.

But someone else had nine correct scores too!

Ben Hogwood 44 (9) got done over by Spurs, went against his own team at Plymouth for a 2-1 correct score and landed the 5 points served up by Toon on Monday.

But what won it for him?

Well, Harry, it was that 1pt from the Friday night game…

Congrats Ben, your second win of the season!

In a harsh lesson of “Pablo, be careful what you wish for”, I think the site will be an unreadable yellow & green next season folks! <gritted teeth emoji>

The NoWay! Nine

Assists

nothing to see here

“Umi Says”:

I’m speechless…(but I don’t care!)

Thirteen of us couldn’t score more than 15 points this week.

Three didn’t get a correct score (and, apparently, there were so many on offer!)

Those three all failed to get to ten points too.

Charlie Harris 7 (0) will no doubt be drowning his sorrows in the hostelries of Beeston. If you see him, by him a pint, poor lad…

Correct Score of the Week:

I really don’t care…most popular score was Brizzle City’s 2-1 win over Watford– 30 of us got that!

Twenty five just knew Newcastle would keep a clean sheet for a o-3 at Leicester

21 felt Fergie vibes when this (El) Tel 96th minute penalty secured a 5 pointer 3-1 against Southampton

Fourteen made us all green by happening upon Wrexham 3-0 Burton Albion

7 landed on the two-two in London on Saturday. The wrong side of London…that’s East London if you didn’t know.

Martin S, Chris D & Lily T had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Loftus Road

However, this week’s best correct score, goes to my lovely daughter Frankie Fernandez for her I-hardly-ever-do-my-scores-and-my-dad-didn’t-even-do-these-ones inspired, Hearts 0 Dundee Utd 1!

Bet of the Week:

Kate Slee was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 8 so we asked her to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

It was a no-show…

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd taking it to £6.53 – noice!

David Bell is at 83rd this week….

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

Vamos!

Brighton always spoil everything, all of the time…

“Race For The Prize”:

What is going on??!

The games are getting harder and harder to predict and those who get the predicting right are so tightly bunched it’s like fever pitch for every result!

Twenty nine PASers scored 30 points or more this week and only 10 points were needed to secure victory…

Neil M missed the Friday game and fell short, the King (Jazz S) rolled back the years with a solid showing, and Will H (welcome!) smashed in 2 x five pointers.

Mike C suffered at the hands (feet?) of a highly unlikely comeback by Swansea at Leeds and both Jonathas M & Lee P bagged a 9 pointer each to stake a claim on the £20 weekly prize.

Dom W was all set to continue the Geordie jolly into another week only to be ultimately undone by Coventry scoring a late late goal at Sheff U…

That left PAS stalwart Olly Osmond 40 (7) out front courtesy of three five-pointers and the solid belief in Cardiff securing a draw with Sheff W

Congrats Olly, a bit like your Chemical mates, you’ve still got it fella!

The Sealing Seven

Assists

K Bowie (90′ + 5  pen) – Hibs

“Suddenly Everything Has Changed”:

My word, what a brutal week for getting a correct score – what’s going on??!

Only 6 scored fifteen points or less but a whopping (we like that word here at PAS Towers) twenty punters didn’t register a correct score!

I’ve no sympathy for Mr 2-0 and his disciples, but spare a passing thought for Ciaran N & Emma T who amassed 18 points without any bonus points – oooof!

Everyone got into double figures but propping up the rest this week is Patricia Fernandez 10 (0).

Has the bubble burst or did she rest herself for another famous Cup upset next week?!

Correct Score of the Week:

Make it stop…most popular score was Boro’s 2-1 win over Oxford– 28 of youse got that!

Twenty were well away with the 0-3 away win for Aston Villa at PNE

20 more doffed a cap to Celtic’s 3-0 deconstruction of Hearts

Fourteen said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Doncaster 3 Carlisle 0

14 more lapped up the injury time joy of Hibs 3 St Johnstone 0

Six grateful for the 3-1 Blades win over Sky Blues

4 obviously guessed Birmingham City would beat Shrewsbury Town 4-1

Elliot D revelled in the schadenfreude of Norwich’s late late show against WBA

Martin S turned up Watford 0 Plymouth 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 Anthony Ramadan (welcome!) for i’m-new-to-all-this-but-even-I-know-you-can’t-trust-west-Londoners inspired, Stoke City 3 QPR 1!

Bet of the Week:

Ben McKeown was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 7 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £2.43 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – we’re off the mark!

Nice on Ben, very creative…

Our new Starboy got swag…

“Uh Huh Oh Yeh”:

Well that was a busy (international) week!

I’ll get to it then…

A massive 47 PASers scored thirty points or more this week and five of those cracked the 40 point mark.

Neil C did that, Howard T missed predicting 8 games but was still only undone by that late late goal Gibraltar on Tuesday, Lee T went closer courtesy of the two games he missed ending up 2-0 (more on that debate later…), and Harry H must be kicking himself as he managed to miss eleven games and still amassed a massive score!

That left Dom Webber 46 (7) out front and centre to collect the £20 weekly prize – very much in debt to Czechia going to the bitter end!

Well done Dom, I take it this extends the Geordie party for another week?!

The Serious Seven

Assists

M Merino (90′ + 3) – Spain

D Vlahovic (90) – Serbia

J Kliment (90 + 5) – Czechia

“Hung Up”:

Well that was a (international) week!

Amazingly, only 4 punters scored less than fifteen points.

And all those four didn’t get a correct score.

But they did all score double figure totals (every cloud…)

Simon Buxton 11 (0) finds himself in very unfamiliar surroundings right at the bottom of the pile.

Expect Jack B to pile in…

Correct Score of the Week:

Two-nil anyone?…most popular score was England’s 3-0 win over Latvia – 29 of us got that!

Nineteen just knew Czechia would keep a clean sheet for a o-4 in Gibraltar

16 made us all green by happening upon Belgium 3-0 Ukraine

Thirteen were grateful for the 3-1 Wales win over Kazahkstan

7 we’re so happy for Spain 2-2 Netherlands they will actually wear that ballet dress…

Seven more already had that dress on for the reverse fixture 2-2 of the above

Neil C, Bijay L & Sam W got the dull-all at the County Ground

Simon Linds, Patricia F & Jonathas M somehow stumbled on Portugal 3 Denmark 2 (how????)

Rob L got the 0-1 Scotland win in Greece

Norman L just knew Hungary wouldn’t score against Turkiye for a 0-3

Tony M landed on the two-two in Cumbria on Tuesday night

Justin C said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for his Bradford 4 Colchester 1

However, this week’s best correct score, and new Correct Score of the Season, goes to Simon Lindsay for those-little-teams-know-how-to-sort’ve-make-a-game-of-it-now inspired, San Marino 1 Romania 5!

Bet of the Week:

Norman Lee was on “Bet of the Week” position 60th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £6.63 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – whoop whoop!

“Slainte!” – Toon PAS on tour

“Daniel”:

It really was a weekend of surprises eh?!

Five players scored 30 points of more this week but 11 PASers could have won the £20 weekly prize!

Yeah. One of them weeks…

Richard H tricked his way to 4 added-on time assisted correct scores, Danny A got killed by Killy, Jason M was the latest victim of the “Friday Night Curse”, Matt W smashed home a 9 pointer, Jack B must really hate Bruno F, Ben H showed some champion-elect form, Emma T roared back to to the fore with 2 x 5 pointers, and Chris D had a fine finish to a fine Sunday all round for him!

But it wasn’t enough.

New kid Samir R was right there, but was another one deadened by Kilmarnock.

Greg F landed a couple of late late correct scores only to be undone but the late late goal at Millwall.

That left Andy Chesworth 31 (6) out front and clear of the melee behind him!

Well done A, you had half your correct scores in by 2pm on Saturday so that wait must have been hellish…and you didn’t put Citeh to win!

The Securing Six

Assists

M Ivanovic (90′ + 4 pen) – Millwall

J O’Brien (90+1) – Everton

“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”:

I think this is some kind of record.

I would ask Dave (Toon) or Dan (Scouse) to check but I think both are still drunk for different reasons…

31 punters couldn’t score more than fifteen points this week.

And.

Everyone got a correct score!

And.

Everyone got a double digit return!

Scant consolation?

Well, not for Rowan Marriott 10 (1) who props up the rest in Week 6.

Ha. Ha.

Correct Score of the Week:

Everyone in on the act then…most popular score was Burnley’s 0-2 win at Swansea – 36 of youse got that!

Thirteen got Brighton’s “Desmond” at Man City

9 thrilled at the thrilling Liverpool 1 Newcastle 2

Nine more were all over the 0-3 to Man U at Leicester

8 nailed Motherwell 2 St Mirren 2

Bijay L & Greg F got Coventry 3 Sunderland 0

Matt W & Matthew S put us all to shame by predicting Plymouth 2 Derby 3

Predictz banked the five points on offer for the 2-2 betwixt QPR & Leeds

Predictz (again!) celebrated the bore draw between St Johnstone & Aberdeen

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Ric Pardoe for his you-should-check-me-out-Super-6-if-you-think-this-is-good inspired, Luton 0 Middlesbro 0!

Bet of the Week:

Damian Walsh was on “Bet of the Week” position 83rd in Week 5 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £3 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – taking it to £5.27. We’ll take that…

i went drinking with my mum on her (86th) birthday, and THAT’S why this is late…

“Mr Brightside”:

Hic!

I’ll cut straight to the chase people…

Twenty three punters scored 30 points or more this week.

Paul V went close but it was left to two Man City fans who really “were there” this week.

Andy C had the same pain as me this week (predicting not hangovers) seeing 9 points disappear with late late goals in Brighton & Harrogate.

That left Pete Britton 39 (6) toasting the aforementioned goal at the Amex to take this week’s £20 weekly prize!

Well done Pete, not a bad season after all eh?!

The Safe Six

Assists

Joao Pedro (90′ + 8) – Brighton

“When You Were Young”:

Only five players scored no more than 15 points this week.

5 got no correct scores (Justin C & Rob C must be wincing)

Everyone got a double digit total!

Bottom this week?

Little Leo Clarke 11 (1) trailed home last.

Bless.

Correct Score of the Week:

I have no idea…most popular score was Bolton’s 1-2 win at Burton – 31 of youse got that!

Twenty-one landed on the two-two in north London on Sunday. The wrong side of north London…

18 nailed Hearts 3 Dundee 1

Seven thrilled at the thrilling Aberdeen 4 Queens Park 1

4 made us all green by happening upon Burnley 4-0 Luton

Debbie L, Harry H & Laura H snaffled up the 5 points served up by Liverpool & Southampton

Greg F nabbed the form book upsetting Portsmouth 1 Leeds 0

Debbie L (again!) put us all to shame by predicting Chelsea 1 Leicester City 0

Sam W decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Stockport v Charlton. And he did…

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Ben McKeown for his it’s-a-game-so-far-away-from-anywhere-they-deserve-to-lose inspired, Plymouth Argyle 0 Sheffield Wednesday 3!

Bet of the Week:

Dickie Holloway was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 4 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.

And guess what?!

So, £3.53 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd – we might get enough for an ice cream (van) on here!

One thing you ain’t winning Arne…

“This Is The Day”:

So, who cannot wait til we get rid of VAR/incompetent refs?

We’ll come back to that…

A pretty fruitful week for about quarter of the league as twenty four of you amassed 30 points or more.

Frankie F actually did her own scores and got amongst it, further compounding my Weston of a week – we’ll come back to that…

Two punters went beyond the forty point mark and went neck & neck to line for the £20 weekly prize!

Both returned an impressive haul of 8 correct scores and the deciding factor was literally Peter M having faith in a Watford win – they didn’t.

That left Ben Hogwood 43 (8) out up front scooping up another Hogwood clan weekly win…

Tell me though B, is this accolade soured by the fact a 96th minute equaliser against your team did a lot of heavy lifting in this victory?!

The “Yes,mate! Eight

Assists

A Weimann (90′ + 6) – Blackburn

“Infected”:

One man’s forty-tude is another’s, erm, faintheartedness?

Nearly a quarter of the league (yep, you lot. Yes, you 22 cowering in the corner with me!) couldn’t even manage more than fifteen points this week!.

Seven of us couldn’t even muster a correct score between us.

Luckily for me, I ordered Dave Nicklin 10 (0) to fall on his sword to spare my blushes.

Sometimes this job has it perks. Sometimes…

Correct Score of the Week:

I’m staying out of this…most popular score was Sunderland’s 1-2 win at Sheff Wednesday – 39 of youse got that!

Eighteen revelled in the 3-1 schadenfreude of JPM at Selhurst Park

9 nabbed the form book upsetting Man City 3 Plymouth 1

Eight nailed Aberdeen 2 Dundee Utd 2

7 got 3 goal demolition of Newport by Doncaster

Four decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards on Stoke v Watford 0-0. And they did…

Norman L made us all green by happening upon Ipswich’s 1-1 draw at Forest

Leo C saw his typo come good on the game at Ibrox

Debbie L banked the five points on offer for the 0-0 betwixt Wrexham & Bolton

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Debbie Lee (again!) for her I-love-Fat-Frank-and-he-loves-me inspired, Oxford United 2 Coventry City 3!

Bet of the Week:

Andy Kelly 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?!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th – unlucky that!

Football?! Nah mate, it’s rugby season…

“Superstylin’”:

It was a lively Week 3 right up to late on Monday night.

A tightly contested field was bunched together as 19 punters reached & breached the 30 point mark.

But only 4 could have won it, tbh…

Darren McC was right up there courtesy of a 10 pointer & an eight pointer, Lily T was back to her best not not quite “best” enough and Simon B was right there with help from Millwall’s 95th minute winner and the 101st minute goal at the Hawthorns!

Then came the late late goal-fest in south Yorkshire…

That 91st minute 3rd goal for Leeds really did rob Simon as his correct score disappeared and kept Kate Slee 38 (7) on top after a very nervy wait!

A very Happy Monday for Mrs S collecting the weekly £20 prize.

Well done Peter Kate – a sliver of a silver lining for one Gooner at least this week…

The Satisfying Seven

Assists

J Coburn (90′ + 5) – Millwall

O Dabbagh (90′ + 1) – Aberdeen

“Save My Soul”:

Oooof!

A mere 4% of the runners and riders failed to notch up any more than fifteen points this week.

Four of those suffered the ignominy of collecting zero correct scores…but please spare a thought for Sam W, poor lad.

Feeling the pain particularly pressing with a single figure return?

Alan Clarke 6 (0)

Good luck at the family dinner A!

Correct Score of the Week:

Sparse…most popular score was Heart of Midlothian’s 1-2 win at St Johnstone – 34 of us got that!

Seven got Everton’s “Desmond” with Man Yoo

4 said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Ross Co 3 Dundee 1

Lily T, Emma T & Anthony R (welcome!) were well away with the 1-3 away win for Leeds

Stephen P, Darren McC & David G just knew Brighton would keep a clean sheet for a o-4 at Southampton

Darren McC (again!) & Rob C lapped up the injury time joy of Norwich 4 Stoke 2

However, this week’s best correct score goes to ………no-one-had-a-unique-correct-score-which-is-rare!

Bet of the Week:

Olly Osmond 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?!

So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 60th – boooo!

Andy Kelly & newbie Seb De Sousa are at 45th this week….first out the hat was Andy!

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

Can you get us back to winning ways?

Table News:

“Love Sweet Sound”:

Nick Hogwood stays top, 7 points ahead of Paul V who, in turn, is four points ahead of Ben H in third…

Three crashed the Top Ten!

“I See You Baby”:

All change at the bottom, Howard Thomas slides 4 places to the bottom, ten points behind Matthew M who, in turn, is one point adrift of Mike K…

“I Won’t Kneel”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 37 places is Kate Slee – honourable mentions go to Darren McC (+27), Peter M (+27), Matt W (+33), Dickie H (+26), Lily T (+34), and Will O (+30).

A “Wolf Fox in the Box” in sheep’s clothing…

“Photoshop Handsome”:

If you felt like you had a good chance of winning this week, ummmm, you probably thought wrong!

It was a kinda condensed week with an impressive twenty-three players scoring over 30 points AND 1 punter scoring over forty points… and they were very much on the mark!

And all vying for the £20 prize right to the end…

New kid in town, Seb De S smashed in a couple of 5 pointers and our man in Scandinavia, Anders H, upped the ante notching 3 x five pointers.

Paul V was looking good with 20 points from 4 games (with some added-on time assists to boot) whilst Jonathas M didn’t need any on them fancy scores, instead reaping rewards from goals beyond the 90 minute mark to go close!

Still with us…

Good.

Paul & Jonathas were ultimately undone by placing their faith in Man Yoo and Paliss respectively…

So that left Elliot Davy 41 (8) a good way in front – nicely cemented by Leeds 95th minute winner in the 30th game to get him safely over the line.

Now there’s something to phone home about E! Congrats!

The Yes, Mate! Eight

Assists

Y Salech (90′) – Cardiff City

P Struijk (90′ + 5) – Leeds Utd

“Regret”:

Meanwhile…

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

3 didn’t register a correct score.

Only one didn’t make double digits…

Rob Currin 8 (0) must be feeling a bit “ouch” right now…

Correct Score of the Week:

Why can’t games end on 90 minutes anymore…most popular score was Cardiff’s 1-1 Severnside derby draw with Bristol City – 31 of youse got that!

Twenty eight were all over the 1-3 to the Cherries at Southampton

26 doffed a cap to Celtic’s 3-0 deconstruction of Dundee Utd

17 got the 1-3 Rangers win at Hearts

Nine had Kilmarnock’s 3-1 win over St Johnstone

7 were grateful for the 3-1 Bristol Rovers win versus Burton Albion

Four celebrated the bore draw between PNE & Burnley

Paul F & Leo C turned up St Mirren 0 Hibs 0. Then sobbed a little bit as he thought of those poor souls who were actually there.

Sam A & Leo C (again!) had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Rodney Parade

Sam W thanked the Lord for James Maddison

Chris D just knew Watford would score against Boro for a 0-1

Patricia F got the very annoying 96th minute spoiling Oxford 0 Pompey 2

Leo C (again! again!) believed in Brentford. A 0-1 kinda belief…

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Laura Harrison for her I-knew-that-The-Superhoops-would-come-good-eventually-this-season inspired, QPR 4 Derby County 0!

Bet of the Week:

Li’l Leo Clarke 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?!

So, £2.27 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 83rd – yay!

Alan Clarke, My Mum, Sam Webber & Olly Osmond are at 60th this week….Olly was first out the hat, so…

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

Can you go one better this week?

I hope so…

Table News:

“Schoolin’”:

Nick Hogwood stays top, 8 points ahead of Charlie H who, in turn, is four points ahead of Bijay L in third…

Four crashed the Top Ten!

“Suffragette Suffragette”:

All change at the bottom, Matthew Murphy slides 3 places to the bottom, two points behind Thomas S, Mr 2-0 & Dave N who, in turn, are one point adrift of Howard T…

“Cough Cough”:

Highest climber this week, up a whopping 71 places is Elliot Davy – honourable mentions go to Jonathas M (+36), Dan C (+40), Ric P (+33), Seb de S (+52), Mark S (+48), Leo C (+43), Gary R (+51), Darren McC (+45) and Patricia F (+31).

“Don’t Try”:

Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 43 places are Luke Stafford & Greg Fleming – dishonourable mentions go to Simon Lindq (-33), Lee T (-30), John J (-34), Ray B (-30), and Debbie L (-30)

 The *$%**%! magic of the Cup!

“Skylarkin’”:

We’re back! With a bang!

No, not Vinicius Jr – PAS!

Although, given the sharpness of this update, I could’ve waxed lyrical about “as we haven’t signed anyone, imagine if Havertz gets injured, we’re f-“, how karma works (something about humble mumbling…) and gone into the absurdness (and utter delight) of the absence of that unnecessary thing called VAR in the Cup…

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?

Two PASers were 3 x flame emojis this weekend reaching the heady heights of 50 points.

Imagine?!!

Bijay L eschewed the clutches of last season’s bout of Woodenspoonitis & put up a good fight. A really good fight!

However, he was ultimately undone by a couple of added-on time goals.

Boooo. And, indeed, hisssss…

Nick Hogwood 52 (8) bagged a load of correct scores including 2 x big bonus pointers to power to victory (actually, he’s definitely indebted to that madness at The Hawthorns…).

Big up!

Anyone else close?

Nine punters ended up hitting the hallowed 40 point marker (and beyond) but a reward wasn’t forthcoming – sometimes football can be a cruel mistress…

So, congrats Mr H, the second season on the trot the £20 is winging its way back to you in Week 1 – everything else is a bonus for you once again this season!

The Grrreat Eight

Assists

H Maguire (90’+3) – Man Utd

C Paterson (90’+3) / J Molumby (90+6) – Sheff Wed / WBA

D Keillor-Dunn (90′) – Barnsley

“Bless You”:

Did you score 30 points + this week? Wow, we’re great aren’t we…!

Forty one (!) of us managed that, but 9 punters couldn’t manage any more than 15 points this week  – and 10 players couldn’t muster a correct score!

Shocking.

Not as shocking as that game in Devon though, eh?

Anyway…

Everyone managed to break into double digits – but feeling no joy in Week 1 is Will Oppong 12 (0).

Willo, you spared Mr 2-0’s blushes – you’re too kind young man!

Correct Score of the Week:

Really?!…most popular score was Celtic’s 5-0 win over Raith Rovers – 41(!!) of youse got that!

Nineteen got Aberdeen 3 Dunfermline 0

9 had Dundee’s merciless deconstruction of Airdrieonians

4 celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 2-3 at St Andrew’s

Bijay L got the dull-all at Deepdale

However, this week’s best correct score goes to Alan Clarke for his they-don’t-call-me-Sniffer-for-nothing-look-what-I-unearthed inspired, Coventry 1 Ipswich 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, Leo Clarke is first up.

Leo, I need your 3 selections by Friday please (ask your dad if you’re allowed to get involved in betting first though mate!) ! 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 rugby! 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 young man…

Table News:

It’s Week 1 – it is what it is! Click here for the full table

Please be aware we lost a few players but we can still gain some more…and we’ve done well so far this season!

Thanks to those of you who recruited the newbies this season – love youse! (Shouts to Sam A and newbie Ciaran N!)

So, if you know anyone out there who wants to get involved, put them in touch.

It’s never too late…they’ll get a, ahem, “respectable” Mr 2-0 13pts for Week 1 to boot!

So, we have a tasty Man Yoo v Liverpool clash, The CL Queen taking on a former PAS Cup winner, a serial CL winner up against a Northwich Vics manager and another Geordie at risk of an upset to a student in Leeds!
