Well, he may not be my favourite player, but Defoe's demolition was as clinical a lesson in goalscoring as you are likely to see in one game, as this clip I borrowed from an online paper confirms. In order to have scored any pts at all from this game, you would have needed to have predicted either 3-1, 4-0 or more, and that's excatly what 94 of you did. The 5 of you that had Wigan to win all lost 27 pts on this game. This surely contributed to the worst week Arsenal fans have had for a while. As well as the defeat at Sunderland, and the injury to Van Persie, arguably the greatest player in their history will now always be remembered as a cheat.
Back in Predictions land, John Chilton retakes top spot (helped by Richie Cullinan not getting his scores back in time), Andy Folwell moves into the top 5 and Paul Chapman moves up 42 places to 2nd after top scoring this week with 200. Let me leave you with this thought provoking quote from Mr David Beckham, who lost out on some major silverware this week. "My parents have always been there for me, ever since I was about 7" Atb, Ciro
