Results from Matchday 3 and Predictions for Matchday 4!


How I spoil you all.....2 posts in a week!

Let's look at the results from the last matchday first - this was very interesting. It seems that this was a very hard week to call for a lot of matches, with 4 matches having a very discordant spread! This was reflected in the results, with the closest scores so far. Stats in full:

9 people played
Most popular predicted result: Chelsea win (100% concordance)

Most disputed result: Villa vs Wolves, Swansea vs Sunderland, Spurs vs Man City & Man Utd vs Arsenal (All some variant of a 4:3:2 split)
Longest Odds: Josh Daniels - 82,876/1

Best Predictor: Sam Ruback, Will O'Doherty and Josh Daniels (6/10)
Worst Predictor: Ryan Wain (2/10) (2nd time in 3 weeks.....)

Best Predicted result: Chelsea WIN (9/9)
Worst Predicated result: Man City WIN (2/9)

I got 5 right - improving slowly. What's very interesting is that 2 weeks out of 3 so far, the longest odds have done the best... although as betting is win or lose, and they've lost...it's ultimately irrelevant!

Villain of the week this week is the leprechaun who owns Man Utd for not running them into the ground already and thereby not ruining my day.
Everyone's results this week:


From now onwards, I also want to give a little leaderboard of how everyone's doing so far. To qualify, you have to have played >2/3 of rounds so far, so this week, 3/3 weeks:

7 people qualify for the leaderboard this week:


So Feneley is just ahead of Will O'Doherty, with Ryan Wain limping way back, like a scuttled ferry across the Mersey...

To this week's bets:

I've decided to add in a silent partner to the game - BBC stalwart and Gary Lineker sycophant Mark Lawrenson. I'll be adding his predictions to the comments as they go live, so we can at least all try and beat Lawro!

Sunderland vs Chelsea - CHELSEA
Wolves vs Spurs - DRAW
Arsenal vs Swansea - ARSENAL
Man City vs Wigan - MAN CITY
Everton vs Villa - VILLA
Stoke vs Liverpool - LIVERPOOL
Bolton vs Man Utd - MAN UTD
Norwich vs WBA - NORWICH
Fulham vs Blackburn - DRAW
QPR vs Newcastle - QPR

Odds are 2,327/1 (paddypower)

Best of British and please spread the word - you've all got a mate who'd be interested in playing, so let's try and get over 20 players this week!
