Well Pamplona to be exact, but it clearly makes no odds to Mr Wenger who suffered a Fawlty moment. They say a good goalie is worth about 10 points every season, in which case it's fair to say Arsenal are about 10 pts worse off than they should be this season after another Almunia gaff. With Lampard lighting up the Bridge and Utd able to win at a canter without potato head, it looks like Saturday's massive match at Old Trafford could be the title decider.
6 weeks to go in Prem Predictions now, and Jason Nicholas' lead stands at 97 pts, with Andy Hosie back upto 2nd. With the leaders getting twitchy this week (as I found to my cost - thanks Villa!), I still think someone from outside the top 10 could win this with a couple of big weeks - Record pts scorer Juan Lyall is up to 5th and proves the point this week. Oh and well done to our 32nd Weekly winner, Matt Shipley whose 235 consisted of the magic 10/10 correct predictions and shaded out Kevin Ramskir's 232. Atb, Ciro
Predictions Cup reaches the Quarter Finals
Some really close ties in the last 16, with David Cuschieri, James Lilley and Kris Ingham unlucky to all lose their ties by 6 pts or less, and Paul Osmond and Wyn Roberts unluckier still having drawn their matches and lost on the countback rule. Here are the full results. Well done to our 8 quarter finalists who have added to their prize stash of a Nivea for Men Energy Skincare pack, and a case of Moretti Lager (both still in the post!), with a copy of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (Thanks to Jon at Konami)
