Week Two Predictions

After Arsenal got screwed by two dodgy penalty decisions in the Champions League we should probably just give up on trying to predict football results because it’s near impossible.

We saw last week that our top-scorer (Ant) only managed 10 points out of a possible 33. For the weeks to come we are going to standardise the amount of points available to 30. That means ten results each week. However, there is also going to be one bonus pick in random weeks. Last week we had the Bahrain Grand Prix and this week we are going with the US Masters.

The tournament will have started by the time we all get our picks in, but that’s fine because it ends in the early hours of Monday morning. I have also included the East Anglian Derby (Ipswich v Norwich) in this week’s picks because there are people who consider this fixture to be as big as the Man United v Arsenal clash.

So these are the fixtures for the week:

1. Birmingham v Everton
2. Portsmouth v Newcastle
3. Reading v Fulham
4. Tottenham v Middlesbrough
5. Derby v Aston Villa
6. Bolton v West Ham
7. Man United v Arsenal
8. Liverpool v Blackburn
9. Ipswich v Norwich
10. Chelsea v Wigan

Bonus: The US Masters:

So when you make your picks this week, leave a comment with your name and your scores.

Remember Saturday 1pm (12pm BST) is the cut-off.
