S6M38: It's happened again

Ladies & Gentleman, boys & girls. Records have tumbled.

It's happened finally - a weekend of relatively predictable fixtures, no major shocks and we've set a new record high score as a weekly average. Bad times for all those who didn't participate.

Chelsea got the win needed to guarantee the title would return to Stamford Bridge, whilst Everton got the win to ensure Watford expedited their annual manager sacking. Man City, Arsenal & Liverpool all won comfortably - in City's case, a double touch penalty made them sweat momentarily, whilst "Lads, it's Tottenham" signed off the Lane with a thumping 2-1 win - as they go - against a poor United side with all of their gallian ova in one wicker receptacle.

Consider me your word of the day calendar.

Bournemouth & Southampton also had nice wins against disinterested sides in Burnley & Middlesborough, who have hopefully woken up for this weekend...

Allardici did the needful and consigned Hull to the drop - compounded by Swansea's win away at Sunderland and it's basically all done. City are more or less nailed on for CL football, and the 4th spot is likely to be Liverpool's - the only table movement of any note could be Arsenal pipping them. It's unlikely, and frankly, a little unwelcome too. A good kick in the derriere isn't the worst thing in the world now & then.

Let's get statty:
This week, 21 people played - although the FT was screwed by TWO games on Friday night!
Most popular predicted result: Arsenal WIN (20/21)
Most disputed result: Middlesborough vs Southampton & West Ham vs Liverpool (3-7-11 splits)

Highest odds: AFM (67,925/1)
2nd Highest odds: Josh Daniels (4891/1)
Lowest odds: Doron Salomon (537/1)

Best predictors: Joe Abbott, Euroclub Index & WhoScored.com - 10/10!!!!! TENS GALORE!!!!! 

Euro Club Index get their 2nd 10, Who Scored.com & Joe Abbott get their 1st - and Joe is the 1st human player to get a 10! Sam Ruback scoring 9 - desperately unlucky with the Hull train just running out of steam to scupper his maximum. FinkTank scored 8/8 for them - the Friday night games really do handicap them.

Congrats to them all - especially to Joe! There's no human player 10 trophy (yet), but I'll look into a commemorative T shirt or something. Feel free to contact me with sponsorship opportunities....

Worst predictor: AFM (5/10 even with the ridiculous outlier odds)
Average score: 7.52/10 - a new Impossibilitee record!

Best predicted result: Arsenal WIN (20/21)
Worst predicted result: Liverpool & Southampton WIN (11/21)
All the most predicted results came in

Everyone's scores:

To the leaderboard (>2/3; 24/35*)

ECI pretty much wraps it up - they need only 2 correct results this weekend to secure their second Impossibilitee title - the first multiple winner. They have only failed to do this on 1 occasion this season. 

Will O'Doherty is also likely to end the season as the top human player, although in fairness, he may just be a Twitbot for all I know. Joe Abbott could overtake with consecutive 10s though...he's now overtaken Dagmar for office bragging rights...

Down the bottom of the table & Silverman's absence last week has really cost him, as a big gap has now opened up to Aron Kleiman. It's not quite official yet....

To this week's predos, for the final time this season:

Arsenal vs Everton - ARSENAL

Burnley vs West Ham - WEST HAM

Chelsea vs Sunderland - CHELSEA

Hull vs Spurs - SPURS

Leicester vs Bournemouth - BOURNEMOUTH

Liverpool vs Middlesborough - LIVERPOOL

Man Utd vs Crystal Palace - DRAW

Southampton vs Stoke - SOUTHAMPTON

Swansea vs WBA - SWANSEA
Watford vs Man City - MAN CITY

Good luck guys!
