I Know the Score – Week 15

December 4, 2009

Last Week: 40 points
Total: 680 points

It’s been a while since I broke 50 points, can I do it this week?

OK I get it Manchester City have been drawing a lot recently – so now that I predict a draw it probably won’t happen. You have been warned. Arsenal host newly promoted Stock City so the Gunners should win. Manchester United travel to play West Ham but the Red Devils should win, the Hammers are not that good this season. Manchester City host Chelsea in what I predict will be a draw. Liverpool travel a bit to face northwest rival Blackburn, I see another draw.

Check back next week to see how I did.


I Know the Score – Week 14 Result

December 3, 2009

Week: 40 points
Total: 680 points

Not the big week I had hoped for but I’ll take it.

No prediction earned me 30 points (correct result) but three matches did earn me 20 points each (2 correct draws and Man Utd’s win over Pompey was doubled).

Check back tomorrow for my Week 15 predictions.


I Know the Score – Week 14

November 27, 2009

Last Week: 35 points
Total: 640 points

It’s been a number of weeks since I earned a lot of points, can I get 90 points this week?

The Merseyside Derby is this Sunday and I predict a 2-2 draw. The big match this weekend is Arsenal v Chelsea, also this Sunday. The Gunners really need a win here and I think they will get it with a 3-2 win. The Saturday match on ESPN 2 is at 10:00am ET and features Portsmouth v Manchester Utd, the Red Devils should win easily.

All the matches this round are played on Saturday and Sunday so look for my result Monday. Have a nice weekend.


I Know the Score – Week 13 Result

November 26, 2009

Week: 35 points
Total: 640 points

Not a great week but not a disaster either.

No correct results this week but more point earners than losers. I doubt anyone correctly predicted Tottenham’s 9-1 win over Wigan. Did the Wigan players refund the fans ticket money? Sunderland’s win against visiting Arsenal cost me points as did Liverpool’s draw with Manchester City. I managed to collect a few points with wins by Chelsea and Manchester United and if their opponents had scored a single goal each then I would of had a couple of correct results.

Check back tomorrow for my Week 14 predictions. Happy Thanksgiving!


I Know the Score – Week 13

November 20, 2009

Last Week: 70 points
Total: 605 points

The Premier League resumes after an international break.

The big match this weekend is Liverpool v Manchester City, Liverpool are tough at Anfield so I predict they’ll win. Manchester United host Liverpool’s local rival Everton, the Red Devils should defeat the Toffees. Wolverhampton travel to face Chelsea, the Blues will win at Stamford Bridge.

Note that there are matches Wednesday this week, I will try to post my results that night or early Thursday morning. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!


I Know the Score – Week 12 Result

November 12, 2009

Week: 70 points.
Total: 605 points.

Finally a decent result after a few low scoring weeks.

I nailed the Wigan-Fulham 1-1 draw for 30 points, my biggest point gainer this week. I correctly predicted the result in the Wolverhampton-Arsenal match and it was my banker pick so it earned me 20 points. My last pick that garnered me more than 10 points was the Chelsea-Manchester United match, here I correctly predicted the result and point differential for a cool 15 points.

This weekend there are no matches scheduled due to the international break so check back next week for my picks.


I Know the Score – Week 12

November 6, 2009

Last Week: -10 points.
Total: 535 points.

Oh bother, it seems I didn’t do a results post for last week.

I apologize but I’m getting ready to do a clean install of Windows 7 so I have been a bit distracted. This post will be brief too. You didn’t miss much I had a very bad week again last week. Wish me luck for this week (and for installing Windows 7).


I Know the Score – Week 11

October 30, 2009

Last Week: -90 points.
Total: 545 points.

I am looking to bounce back after a very bad week.

I predict Arsenal to win the North London derby. Aston Villa and West Ham play two matches this week, one with each other.

Check back Thursday to see how I did.


I Know the Score – Week 10 Result

October 25, 2009

Week: -90 points.
Total: 545 points.

Worst. Week. Ever.

Oh no! I didn’t know I could get so many minus points. Only the Chelsea-Blackburn match earned me any points and that was just 10 points. All other matches lost me points (except for my locked match, Liverpool-Man Utd) and the Man City-Fulham match cost me 30 points! Arsenal was close to earning me some points but then West Ham netted 2 late goals for the draw.

Check back Friday to see how scary my Week 11 picks are for Halloween.


I Know the Score – Week 10

October 23, 2009

Last Week: 15 points.
Total: 635 points.

I am hoping to rebound after my worst week so far.

Arsenal travel across London to play West Ham, these derbies can be trouble for them but I think the Gunners win relatively easily. Chelsea host Blackburn and should also win easily. I am also predicting an easy win for Manchester City who welcome Fulham to the City of Manchester Stadium. The big match of the weekend is Liverpool v Manchester United. Liverpool are tough at Anfield but I think Man Utd will be up for the challenge. I predict a draw but I’m not confident about it.

Check back Monday to see how I did this week.
