I finished 9/10 - oh my god that's why the bookies love me when I ruck up. Hopefully better luck next month.

@themcnoisy: I'm Danny

I was certain i'd be highest this round with 4 correct scores but Dave guessed 5! Well played mate.

@ApostateMage: Well done bro. Good scoring, didn't even see Dave got 27 points.

OMG that's amazing scoring.

So we finished

@daveofduncan 1st
@booshy 2nd
@apostatemage 3rd

@ShadowofSparta: So I deduce you are Kai! Thanks for joining in mate, its our month next month. We will prevail.

@themcnoisy: I had a good week to climb up a place! I got 2 results the wrong way - I predicted a draw and a home win but the results was a home win and and a draw - Not bad considering! Not as great as @daveofduncan though...

I predicted these last week and was at a biffy gig yesterday.. That's the best I've done to date. Still didn't crack the top 15 haha! I had arsenal to win 2-1. One goal in it, nuts!

@daveofduncan: I had Arsenal down as 2-1 winners too LOL. Anyway congratulations!

@daveofduncan: Nice. I was loving it when Palace equalised in the 90th minute, another 5 pointer. Had Chelsea to win 3-1 too and was routing for Burnley to bag one in injury time.

@themcnoisy: Ta mate

@BAMozzy: I glanced it on the bus to the gig but got a shock today. Thanks man.

@ApostateMage: can't believe at least 15 other people got 30/30. That's nuts.

Over a billion £ spent by the Premiere League and pretty much only 2 real world class players brought into the league Ibrahimovic and Pogba. All this extra money has done is increased the prices for players between clubs. Players that were worth £10 million are now worth £20 million. Also a lot of players have not got a lot richer through better contracts.

I am glad Hart has gone to a decent club I hope he does well at Torino Its good to see an English player go abroad, so rare these days.

@dryrain: A billion! Fubin heck, that's some lolly for a sport.

I like the new premier league logo though top notch!

@TripleGK: It may help me lol. Good luck mate hope we all get off to a good start.

@TripleGK: Well we both got that good start :/ 5 of us on 2 points hahaha. Well done the Robos and DM the early pace setters.

@themcnoisy: I knew this week would be a bad week... I had no idea who half those teams existed let alone predict their results... Back to EPL next week so I can continue my great (ahem) streak

@BAMozzy: I'm going conservative guessing now. The 4/5/6 goals of this world just don't seem to be coming off so strictly 3 or less goals per team from now on.

What does everyone think big Sams team will be?

Mourinho out!

@get2sammyb: LOL

Before the season started, I was actually expecting them to fight for fourth, maybe third spot at the most to be honest. They got their first three wins without being great. Whereas City are playing good football and scoring goals for fun. I actually tipped them to win the league this season.

Don't know what's going with Martial this season. Not sure if it was the World Cup which affected his confidence but his been poor season.:/ Depay on the other hand, I have totally given up hope on. Different season same lousy form. > <

United look like they've lost all confidence in the space of a week. I thought we looked good in the first three games without getting out of second gear, but since the International break, it's like everyone's suddenly forgotten how to play football.

I'm not massively worried yet, but it's clear that this streak of bad results needs to be turned around ASAP.

Will be good to see Arsenal finish above ManU again. Especially with Mou as manager.

Sinclair and Murphy on MOTD saying Rooney should play as a defensive midfielder? Rooneys been great for years but maybe playing at the top level has now passed him by - shoe horning him in to a position where scweinsteigers been left out is madness. If his legs have gone he needs to go like Bastion surely?

Man utds ex manager David Moyes is already this season sounding like your typical out of touch manager. I can see him losing his job at Sunderland sooner rather than later.

So according to Jose its the refs fault United are losing. Not the fact that they are not playing well enough. Rooney has passed his best but managers both at United and with England still want to play him. Its a loyalty that will cost both teams points.

Davd Moyes has made some bad job choices apart from going to Manchester United where he was not given the time or money to allow him to be a success. Sunderland was only ever going to end badly its a miracle they have managed to stay in the Prem this long. Moyes should have held out for a mid table side who he could have developed more.

Everton are flying high. This goes to show how much of an impact a good manager can have on a club. Much like what Pochetino has done at Spurs. I do not think there will be many better defences this season than at Everton.
