Matchday 6 Results: A weekend of Two Halves & Matchday 7 bets!

You know when you feel that some things are too good to be true? That's roughly how I felt at about 4.50 last Saturday, when I was 7/7. Things quickly went downhill from there....

Not wanting to exhaust my cliche quota for the season on one weekend, I'd just like to mention that, part of the beauty of sport is the theme of redemption - think Stuart Pearce's eye-bulging, neck-streching, fist-pumping reaction to laying his penalty demons to rest in Euro '96. It's this Boys' Own Hero to Zero feeling that gives football part of its magic. This week, one man surmised redemption....more below

The full breakdown:

15 played this week

Most popular predicted result: Liverpool & Chelsea WINS (100% concordance)

Most disputed result: Norwich vs Sunderland (3-6-6 split)

Longest odds: Josh Benson 1725.58/1

Best Predicted result: Liverpool & Chelsea WINS (15/15)

Worst Predicted result:Stoke vs Man Utd DRAW (2/15)

I scored 7/10 - so basically completely failed on the televised games....

I'd like to single out the heart warming story of redemption I told above by mentioning Will O'Doherty....who turned in a stellar performance this week, putting his horror show 0 from last week behind him and top scoring (joing with Lawro) with 8! It's the stories like that that make this blog worth running!

Villain of the week: Ryan Giggs for that horrendous miss in the last minute at Stoke. If it had been a page 3 girl, I'm sure he would have scored it. (Am I allowed to

mention his name yet?....should it read Yran Igggs?)

Full breakdown below:

The leaderboard this week sees a lot of movement, but it's all in midtable. The range is very close however, so one big week could see a new leader from just about anyone. Remember, only those who have played >2/3 of weeks are eligible for the leaderboard, so that 5/6 weeks this week, but 5/7 next - so a few more people will be added!

I'm not going to be able to push the blog so much over the next few days, so I'm sticking my bets up now and will add in Lawro retrospectively. It's Derby day in North London and Liverpool, and Norwich have their trip to Old Trafford to look forward to, bring their cameras and try not to get too embarassed.

Everton vs Liverpool - DRAW

Blackburn vs Man City - MAN CITY

Man Utd vs Norwich - MAN UTD

Aston Villa vs Wigan - ASTON VILLA

Wolves vs Newcastle - NEWCASTLE
