S4M6: Shafted late on

So this week was impressive in a 'well...didn't see that coming' way. A record 4 games where not a single one of us managed to correctly predict. Shambles. In fairness, at least from a personal perspective, if the games had finished at 80 minutes, I'd have done a whole lot better.

Specifically: Newcastle equalising, Southampton winning and Man City equalising. Also, Spurs lost in 74th minute. So no justice there. Obviously I meant "result at a suitably late time to cash out".

That said - the pain of the Man City equaliser was utterly overcome by the lush joy of the Chelsea twittersphere. One friend (particularly-gobby-chelsea-fan-type) got sent snapchat videos of the goal.  And replays. He told me to leave him alone 'cos he was hurting. Meh,

Also amusing, although somewhat expected these days, was the Man Utd second half implosion. Now, in all fairness, the second Leicester goal was a joke of a decision - however - that performance was Arsenal at St James' Park levels of incompetence (I should point out, also the victims of bent dodgy refereeing). I did get a tad excited with the Di Maria goal though, and Falcao's effort was also might sexy. So not all bad news.

In Man Utd related news, I'd like to share Doron's excitement in his predictions last week at being the highest scorer. That's what this game is all about - it's like the Make a Wish Foundation for shocking predictors. If you've been touched by this tale, and want to donate before Christmas (generously), then I accept cash, cheques, credit cards, stamps, postal orders, travellers cheques and assorted niknaks (rib'n'spicy obviously).

Too much chat. Let's get statty:

Now to the leaderboard - >2/3 of weeks played gets you on here so it's 4/5 this week.

Bottom. Bloody bottom. For the first time ever. What in the name of Glenn Helder is going on there? Thankfully, Excel feels my pain and has ensured that for some reason, it doesn't put me bottom-bottom. As any good Scouser would say, next week's my week.

To those predictions:

Liverpool vs Everton - DRAW
Chelsea vs Aston Villa - CHELSEA
Crystal Palace vs Leicester - LEICESTER
Hull vs Man City - MAN CITY
Man Utd vs West Ham - MAN UTD
Southampton vs QPR - SOUTHAMPTON
Sunderland vs Swansea - DRAW
Arsenal vs Spurs - ARSENAL
WBA vs Burnley - WBA
Stoke vs Newcastle - STOKE

Good luck guys!
