I Know the Score – Week 12

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

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

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

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.

I Know the Score – Week 9 Result

Week: 15 points
Total: 635 points

Oh no! My worse week so far.

Arsenal got me the most points this week (30 points) but in no other match did I earn more than 10 points. Not my best week by far.

Check back Friday for my next predictions.

I Know the Score – Week 9

Last Week: 80 points.
Total: 620 points.

The Premier League is back after last week’s international break.

In one of the best matches this weekend, first place Chelsea visit seventh place Aston Villa. I’m predicting a 2-2 draw. Arsenal host Birmingham City who are tied with several clubs for third fewest points so far this season. This should be an easy win for the Gunners, I predict 4-1 in favor of Arsenal. Bolton are not much better than Birmingham and they visit Manchester United, the Red Devils should also win easy. Liverpool travel to face Sunderland, the Reds often stumble away from Anfiled so I’m predicting a draw with the Black Cats. Manchester City travel to face Wigan but I think they’ll fare better and win by a score of 3-1.

Check back Tuesday to see how I did.

I Know the Score – Week 8 Result

Week: 80 points.
Total: 620 points.

After just 30 points last week I’m back to a more respectful 80 points this week.

Three matches earned me thirty points each: Burnley-Birmingham (correct result), Arsenal-Blackburn (correct outcome x3) and West Ham-Fulham (correct result).

I lost points on Pompey’s first win of the season over Wolverhampton and Sunderland’s draw with Man Utd at Old Trafford.

Check back Friday October 16 for my Week 9 predictions.

I Know the Score – Week 8

Last Week: 30 points.
Total: 540 points.

I’m hoping to rebound after last week’s season-low in points for me.

This week my Banker match is Arsenal v Blackburn. I pick the Gunners to win by a score of 3-1. So why is this a x3 Banker game? The only thing that I can think of is that at times Arsenal has struggled against teams from the northwest but the Rovers are not that good this season so I’m fairly secure that Arsenal will win this.

My Insurance match is Hull City v Wigan. I predict a 2-2 draw but this could end up a win for either side. I think Wigan will have a let down after last week’s upset of Chelsea.

Speaking of Chelsea, Sunday the Blues host Liverpool in a battle of the Big Four. Liverpool often struggle away from Anfield so I’m predicting a one goal win for Chelsea.

Finally Man Utd should have an easy ime of it at Old Trafford against Sunderland.

Check back Tuesday to see how I did.

I Know the Score – Week 7 Result

Week 7: 30 points.
Total: 540 points.

My worst week yet in I Know the Score . . . the horror, the horror.

In 7 of the 10 matches this weekend I didn’t lose points so a -20 in one game really hurt me. The big upset of the weekend was my biggest loser so far this season. Wigan’s 3-1 win against Chelsea cost me 20 points! I had Chelsea winning 3-1 and I compounded my mistake by making it my Banker selection of the week so the -10 points was doubled to -20 points. Oh well, it only a game.

Check back Friday to see my picks for week 8 of I Know the Score.

I Know the Score – Week 7

Last Week; 90 points.
Total: 510 points.

No matches involving big rivals or the big four (or even five or six) but there is a London derby.

Arsenal travel across London to face Fulham, I expect the Gunners to win easily as they’re getting Arshavin and Walcott back. Liverpool should have another easy game at Anfiled against Hull City who will have trouble avoiding relegation this season. Man Utd travel to play newly promoted Stoke City so the Red Devils should also win easily. Chelsea also travel this weekend, the Blues play Wigan who have earned just six points so far this season. I expect Chelsea to win as well.

Check back next week to see how I did.
