Matchday 35 Results: Could it really be?

Well well well. The season that keeps on giving offers up yet another twist. When this season is reviewed in the future, it'll be known as the season where no-one wanted to take their opportunities. Man Utd have given Man City hope that if they win at Eastlands next week, their first championship for 40 odd years may follow. Arsenal's vaguely secure grasp on third has now been whittled away, whilst Spurs and Chelsea haven't taken the opportunity to secure their own place in the Champions' League. Any scouser, of either persuasion will hardly be thrilled by their season. Arguably, only Newcastle in the top half have really excelled.

Wolves' relegation became official this week, but Blackburn and QPR both secured valuable wins to keep the battle going for just a while longer. It's fair to say that only Swansea and Norwich would be particularly happy with their term's work. I make that 3/20 teams to have had a good season (obviously whoever wins the league will be the 4th).

Before I get to the stats, the first person to post last week did so under the name "Anonymous" - whoever it was, let me know and I'll update the records accordingly.

Everyone's scores:

And now for a rather interesting leaderboard:

Very little movement in terms of position, however in numerical terms an interesting week. Joe loses 0.16 from his score, but Nick & Yanik are unable to increase their scores and put some pressure on him. There are 3 rounds of matches to go, so a few big switches like that could see a major shake up.

Looking forward to finding out who "Anonymous" is, and I'll see you all later this week for the next set of matches.

Have a good week
