WEST HAM UNITED 0 CHELSEA 3 Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Chelsea condemned lacklustre West Ham to a third consecutive home defeat. Nobody got this spot-on, but 17 did have the outcome, with 13 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
SOUTHAMPTON 1 IPSWICH TOWN 1 Ipswich captain Sam Morsy scored a dramatic 95th minute equaliser, to leave both teams looking for a first win this season. That late goal was good news for the 4 who had this spot-on, and the 2 who got the outcome.
NORWICH CITY 4 WATFORD 1 Norwich impressively earned their first home league win under new boss Johannes Thorup. Nobody got this spot-on, though 11 did have the outcome.
CARDIFF CITY 0 LEEDS UNITED 2 Leeds strode to a comfortable win at bottom of the table 10-man Cardiff. A massive 9 had this spot-on, and a further 13 got the outcome.
COVENTRY CITY 1 SWANSEA CITY 2 Swansea kept up their impressive recent form as they completed a bad week for Coventry. This means Coventry have now failed to win any of their last 18 games against Swansea with their last win coming in 1981. Without this stat to hand nobody got this spot-on, and only basher2010 had the outcome. 20 predicted a win for Coventry.
PETERBOROUGH UNITED 3 BRISTOL ROVERS 2 Peterborough held on for all three points after Rovers’ second-half comeback, to claim their first home league win of the season. Again nobody had this spot-on, but 22 did get the oucome.
WYCOMBE WANDERERS 2 CAMBRIDGE UNITED 1 Cameron Humphreys gets an 85th minute winner for Wycombe, to leave Cambridge winless in League One. That late winner was good news for the 3 who got this spot-on, and another 14 who had the outcome.
BRADFORD CITY 0 AFC WIMBLEDON 0 Wimbledon fail to have a shot on target in this bore draw. Well done to Lewis_1 for being the only one to have this spot-on, and 4 more got the outcome.
GRIMSBY TOWN 1 BROMLEY 0 A penalty from Danny Rose earned 10-man Grimsby this victory, and it is now five games without a win for Bromley. 3 got this spot-on, and a further 11 had the outcome.
NOTTS COUNTY 0 GILLINGHAM 1 A moment of brilliance from Elliott Nevitt earned Gillingham a valuable victory at previously unbeaten County. Only mfb_cufc had this spot-on, and another 3 got the outcome.
A slow start to the week when the two early kick-offs failed to have a 3 pointer, continued to find spot-ons difficult, but thanks to the Leeds 2-0, we ended with a respectable 21 in total. It was the 98 total outcomes that gave most a resonable week. The weeks top scoring performance came from mfb_cufc, in being the only one to get three 3 pointers, the wins for Leeds, Grimsby and Gillingham, and four outcomes, to give him a very useful 13 points. There were three members who did well to have two 3 pointers, with the best coming from unitedwhites, who had the Southampton 1-1 and the Leeds 2-0, and concordman, who had the wins for Leeds and Wycombe. They each also got three outcomes, to give them both an excellent 9 points. Finally Madeira163, who had the wins for Leeds and Grimsby, and two outcomes, to give him a very decent 8 points. Best of those to get one three pointer was RSCOSWORTH, who had the Wycombe 2-1, and a good six outcomes, to give him an excellent 9 points.
In the Premier Five outcomes for blueeagle keeps his run at the top continuing, as he still has a good record of averaging more than a point per game. That lead was cut by a point, as thrillseeker and basher2010 both get a good six outcomes, to remain second and third. The top scoring performance from mfb_cufc moved him up four places to fourth. That means, despite their excellent weeks, RSCOSWORTH and unitedwhites both drop a place. A very decent 8 points for oxfcolu, that included having the Leeds 2-0 spot-on, was enough for him to remain seventh. A decent 7 points for Sector4, where he also got the Leeds 2-0 spot-on, couldn't stop him him dropping three places. The bottom three remain the same, but at least the excellent week for concordman moved him up a place.
In Division One We have a new leader, as the very decent week for bwildered, that included having the Southampton 1-1 spot-on, moved him up a couple of places to the top. A position he last held in Week 1. Five outcomes for last weeks leader Tropical_Us, means he has to settle for the other automatic spot, as he loses out on the most 3 pointer rule. Four outcomes for wessex_exile, and he also drops a place. A decent week for noah4x4, as he was another to have the Leeds 2-0 spot-on, moves him up three places, to equal his season high fourth. A decent week for Blue4U2, that included getting the Grimsby 1-0 spot-on, moved him up four places, and back to the fifth place he held two weeks ago. In the final play-off place is Lewis_1, after he had that good bore draw prediction at Bradford. Just losing out on the first to post rule is durham_exile, as he got five outcomes. Having the Southampton 1-1 spot-on couldn't stop gerry_us dropping a couple of places, and BFG slipping down a place. It is staus quo for Madeira163, despite his very decent week, but more importantly, he has moved to within 3 points of the play-offs. The bottom three remains the same, but the decent week for Colukev, that included having the Wycombe 2-1 spot-on, moved him off the bottom.

LIVERPOOL 0 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1 Callum Hudson-Odoi gets the goal, as unbeaten Forest stunned Liverpool at Anfield to end Arne Slot's perfect start as Reds boss. This was their first win at Liverpool in any competition since 1969. No points for anyone from this game, with everyone predicting a win for Liverpool.
BLACKBURN ROVERS 3 BRISTOL CITY 0 Yuki Ohashi kept up his remarkable start to his Blackburn career with two goals, to make it five goals from five games, as his side maintained their unbeaten start to the Championship season. Nobody got this spot-on, but 22 did have the outcome, with 14 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 1 QUEENS PARK RANGERS 1 Two dramatic added-time goals saw Wednesday take a 93rd minute lead, and Rangers equalise in the 96th minute. Those late goals were good news for the 3 who had this spot-on, and 3 also got the outcome.
BLACKPOOL 2 EXETER CITY 1 James Husband scored a 94th minute winner to give Steve Bruce victory in his first game in charge of Blackpool, after Exeter had equalised in the 88th minute. That late goal was good news for the 3 who got this spot-on, and the further 11 who had the outcome.
CARLISLE UNITED 2 FLEETWOOD TOWN 3 Danny Mayor scored his first league double since September 2018 as Fleetwood won their first away game of the season with this victory at managerless Carlisle. Nobody had this spot-on, though 10 did get the outcome.
What a crazy unpredictable game football is. After a certain League 2 team throws away a two goal lead against 10-men, we then have the Happy League banker Liverpool losing at home to Nottingham Forest for the time in over 50 years. Looking at the predictions for the other five games, as they approached full-time, it looked like 1-0 wins for Fulham and Blackpool were going to be the weeks only 3 pointers. Then after Sheffield Wednesday took the lead I couldn't believe nobody had predicted them to win 1-0. Late goals in those three fixtures changed everything, to complete a crazy week, and in the end we had a total of 15 spot-ons, with four members doing well to have two each. They were blueeagle, basher2010 and RSCOSWORTH, who all had the Fulham 1-1 and the Blackpool 2-1, and gerry_us, who got the 1-1 draws at Fulham and Sheff Wed. They all also had one outcome, to make it a four-way share of being the weeks top scorer, with a decent 7 points each. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were Lewis_1 and noah4x4, who each had the Fulham 1-1 and three outcomes, to give them both a decent 6 points. Looking at how the first 40 games have finished. 18 (45%) have ended as homes, 13 (32.50%) as aways, with the other 9 (22.50%) being drawn. Early days has homes above average, draws below average, and aways at historical levels. Top result is still 2-0 with 8. Two ahead of the 1-1 in second. No game has ended 2-2 yet.
In the Premier The late goals for West Ham and Blackpool was great news for blueeagle, as he continued his red-hot start to the season, and another top scoring performance has increased his lead to a mighty 13 points. Two outcomes were just enough for thrillseeker to hold onto the other Charity Shield spot, on the most 3 pointer rule from basher2010, who closes in, after those late goals gave him a top scoring performance. Up five places to fourth, after his top scoring performance, is RSCOSWORTH, who was another grateful for those late goals. 3 pointers were hard to come by for the rest of the division, with only Daniel getting the Sheff Wed 1-1. as things remain incredibly tight. Two outcomes for unitedwhites drops him a place to fifth. Two outcomes also for Sector4 as he leads a group of five on 25 points in sixth. Despite having more outcomes than anyone in both divisions, ghughes11 finds himself bottom of the 25 group in the relegation zone. He joins burnsieespana and concordman, who remain there.
In Division One A solid 5 points for Tropical_Us, that included having the Fulham 1-1 spot-on, keeps him top for the second week running. A replica solid week for wessex_exile moves him up a place, and into the other other automatic spot. A solid 5 points for bwildered, that included getting the Sheff Wed 1-1 spot-on, moved him up a place to third. Two outcomes for durham_exile drops him to fourth. The decent week for Lewis_1 moves him up a place to fifth. The top scoring performance from gerry_us moves him up three places into the final play-off spot. Just losing out on the most 3 pointer rule is noah4x4, after his decent week moved him up a place, and also BFG, who drops a place despite having the Fulham 1-1 spot-on. Two outcomes for Blue4U2 means he drops four places, but is still within 2 points of the play-offs. Just outcomes for the rest of the league, but a good four for Jorash63 moves him up a place.

BARNSLEY 2 BRISTOL ROVERS 1 Davis Keillor-Dunn marked his Barnsley debut with a goal to help his new side to this win. A ginormous 15 got this spot-on, in what was the weeks most predicted score, and a further 7 had the outcome.
CHARLTON ATHLETIC 1 ROTHERHAM UNITED 1 Liam Kelly ended Rotherham’s run of eight away league games without a goal but they were unable to get a first away win since November 2022 as Charlton hit back to draw. Only Tropical_Us and Colukev had this spot-on, and only Moor_Pinot got the outcome. The other 22 predicted a win for Charlton.
WREXHAM 3 SHREWSBURY TOWN 0 Wrexham eased to victory in their early-season League One derby against Shrewsbury to take over at the top of the table. 3 got this spot-on, and another 19 had the outcome.
BARROW 1 SWINDON TOWN 1 Danny Butterworth scored a 98th-minute equaliser to earn Swindon a dramatic draw, in a game where both teams had a player sent off. That late goal was good news for the 3 who had this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome. 19 predicted a win for Barrow.
NEWPORT COUNTY 1 PORT VALE 4 Nine-man Newport endured a miserable afternoon as Vale returned to winning ways in emphatic style. Nobody got this spot-on, but 3 did have the outcome. 17 predicted a win for Newport.
NOTTS COUNTY 2 ACCRINGTON STANLEY 0 A brace from David McGoldrick ensured County’s unbeaten start to the season extended from four games to five with this victory. A cool 4 had this spot-on, and a further 17 got the outcome.
Due to it being an International break, there was a limited number of games left to pick from, but they turned out to be ones that looked good for the home teams, with 123 (82%) of the weeks 150 predictions going for the hosts. Of couse predicting football matches is never that easy, and only three obliged. At least they did their part in making this a good week, with a decent 27 spot-ons in total. The stand out performances came from blueeagle, who got the wins for Barnsley and Notts County, and the Barrow 1-1 spot-on, and one outcome, to make him the weeks top scorer, with a superb 10 points. Just missing out on that honour was wessex_exile, who also got three 3 pointers, the wins for Barnsley, Wrexham and Notts County, to give him an excellent 9 points. Three members did well to get two 3 pointers, with the best coming from Colukev, who had the Barnsley 2-1 to go with the Charlton 1-1, and two outcomes, to give him a very decent 8 points. Best of those to get one 3 pointer were Tropical_Us, with the Charlton 1-1, and Lewis_1, who had the Barnsley 2-1. They each also got three outcomes, to give them both a decent 6 points.
In the Premier I said last week blueeagle had made a scorching start to the season. After his top scoring performance this week, he has gone up a notch to red-hot, after he got his third double-figure score this season. Two 3 pointers, the wins for Wrexham and Notts County, helped thrillseeker to stay in contention, though now 8 points back. Only outcomes for basher2010 and unitedwhites, but they remain third and fourth. Having the Barsley 2-1 spot-on made sure of oxfcolu remaining fifth. Also getting the Barnsley win spot-on moved Sector4 and mfb_cufc up a place to sixth and seventh, as they move above ghughes11, who had three outcomes. Having the Barnsley 2-1 spot-on keeps RSCOSWORTH out of the bottom three. The relegation zone remains the same, though burnsieespana moved up a place after having the wins for Barnsley and Wrexham spot-on. A solid 5 points for Daniel and concordman, that included having the Barnsley win spot-on, was not enough to stop them occupying the bottom two places. Though with only 7 points separating 3rd to 12th, outside the top two things couldn't be any closer. Footnote: I had look through the last ten season records to see if anyone had got more than the 39 points achieved by blueeagle in the first 5 weeks, and indeed there is. In the 2020/21 season a certain ghughes11 managed to get 43 points. He was in Division One at the time, and he also had a lead of 8 points. By the end of the season he only finished fifth, and got promtion through the play-offs. So there is still hope for the rest of the Premier, that this may not last.
In Division One The lead has changed again, with the decent week for Tropical_Us finally taking him to the top, after waiting in the wings since Week 1. Having the Barnsley win spot-on was enough for last weeks leader durham_exile to take the other automatic place. The excellent week for wessex_exile moved him up seven places into third, and within a point of the top two. This means bwildered and Blue4U2 both drop a place to fourth and fifth, despite each getting the Barnsley 2-1 spot-on. The decent week for Lewis_1 moved him up three places, and into the final play-off spot for the first time this season. He replaces BFG, who drops out of the top six for the first time, despite getting a good four outcomes. It is status quo for noah4x4, as he remains eighth, despite having the Barnsley win spot-on. Having the Notts County 2-0 spot-on doesn't stop gerry_us dropping a couple of places. Two outcomes for Madeira163 means he drops five places. A first 3 pointer this season for Moor_Pinot, the Barnsley 2-1, though he remains unmoved. The final member this week to get the Barnsley win spot-on was Jorash63, but he also remains unmoved. The very decent week for Colukev was not enough for him to relinquish the wooden spoon.
