Prediction League: Week 9 - Results

At last proper football is back, no dead rubber games here. I think we are starting to the get the hang of this prediction thing, saying that nobody has successfully predicted a whole round of fixtures just yet. But, at least it’s close in our league table. Anyway, here’s how we fared in Week 9:

Results

Aston Villa 2-1 Chelsea
Another win for Villa over one of the Big Four, sadly for us we didn’t see it coming. Not even Villa fan Chris.

Arsenal 3-1 Birmingham
We certainly fared better in this fixture, with everyone picking up a point.

Everton 1-1 Wolves
We didn’t see this one coming at all, vital point for Wolves though, Everton are still a bit shaky.

Man United 2-1 Bolton
Not a flawless performance from United, but as they say, a win is a win. It certainly got us a point a piece.

Portsmouth 1-2 Tottenham
I’m on my own with this one, which is a good thing, helps me keep the pressure on Chris.

Stoke 2-1 West Ham
A good win for Stoke, no second season syndrome yet. West Ham appear to be stuck down the wrong end of the table. The points go to me and Chris here.

Sunderland 1-0 Liverpool
As Gary did with Wigan’s win over Chelsea a couple of weeks ago, Chris did it with this fixture. It’s certainly a well earned point for Mr. twofootedtackle.

Blackburn 3-2 Burnley
Burnley’s terrible away form continues, while Blackburn actually find the back of the net for once. The points go to Chris and Gary on this one.

Wigan 1-1 Man City
Wigan will certainly be happy with a point, but we will not be happy, because we got no points.

Fulham 2-0 Hull
Hull go back to their losing ways, not a surprise at this stage. I don’t see how they can last another season in the Premier League. Gary and I envisaged the Cottagers winning this one.

Chris continues to top the prediction league; this week predicting 5/10 results correctly, that now moves him up to 49 points. I remain in second place, also predicting 5/10 results, and have 44 points. Last but not least, is Gary, predicting 4/10 results this weekend, moving his tally up to 42 points.

Gary is away on holidays this week but he has submitted his predictions for the coming weekend. Once again, I will be back on Friday with Week 10 of the Prediction League.
