Week 2 results
ARSENAL 2 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 0
Arsenal got their Premier League campaign under way with a comfortable victory. Everyone predicted a win for Arsenal, with a massive 12 getting it spot-on, in what was the weeks most predicted score.
EVERTON 0 BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION 3
Brighton's young manager Fabian Hurzeler started his Premier League career with an impressive win that meant 10-man Everton began their final season at Goodison Park in miserable fashion. Nobody had this spot-on, but 8 did get the outcome.
PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 1 HULL CITY 1
Plymouth boss Wayne Rooney was denied a first Championship victory as Lewie Coyle's delightful strike secured a point for Hull. A super 6 got this spot-on, and another 3 had the outcome.
LINCOLN CITY 1 BARNSLEY 2
Barnsley bounced back from their opening defeat at home to Mansfield to collect their first points of the new season with this win. A cool 4 had this spot-on, and a further 5 got the outcome.
WYCOMBE WANDERERS 2 BIRMINGHAM CITY 3
Birmingham claimed their first win of the League One campaign with a victory at winless Wycombe. Well done to oxfcolu for being the only one to get this spot-on, and another 19 had the outcome.
BRADFORD CITY 0 SALFORD CITY 0
Salford are still yet to score this season, after this bore draw. Nobody had this spot-on, though 5 did get the outcome. 19 predicted a win for Bradford.
After the struggles of Week 1, this was more like it, and mainly thanks to the Arsenal 2-0, we got a decent 23 spot-ons in total this week. An outstanding performance from blueeagle to get three 3 pointers, the Arsenal 2-0, Plymouth 1-1 and the Barnsley 2-1, plus the Brighton and Birmingham outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with a brilliant 11 points. Firing a blank in the first week of the season wouldn't seem like a conventional way to success, but the three members who managed that feat, hit back in a big way this week, by all getting two spot-ons. It was unitedwhites who came out best of the three by getting the Plymouth 1-1 and the Barnsley 2-1, and three outcomes, to give him an excellent 9 points. The other two were Blue4U2, who had the wins for Arsenal and Barnsley, and gerry_us, who to be fair did predict "Loads of points this week; unlike last week", and he got the Arsenal 2-0 and the Plymouth 1-1. They both also had two outcomes, to give them a very decent 8 points. One other member had two 3 pointers, that was burnsieespana, who also had the Arsenal 2-0 and the Plymouth 1-1, to give him a decent 6 points. Best of those to have one 3 pointer were BFG, basher2010 and ghughes11, who each had the Arsenal 2-0 and three outcomes, to give them all a decent 6 points.
In the Premier The outstanding performance from blueeagle not surprisingly takes him to the top, and with a decent 5 point lead. It was in Week 2 last season that concordman also had three 3 pointers. The 10 points he obtained took him to the top, and that is where he remained for the rest of the season. Will that be an omen for this seasons early leader? I am sure he certainly hopes so. The decent week for basher2010 moved him up a place to second. The excellent week for unitedwhites moved him up eight places to third. A decent week for ghughes11 moved him up a couple of places to fourth. A solid start to the season for thrillseeker and oxfcolu, and they tuck in fifth and sixth. A decent week for burnsieespana moves him up a place to seventh. Last weeks leader mfb_cufc lands on a snake, and slithers down seven places. Despite getting the Arsenal 2-0 spot-on, RSCOSWORTH drops a couple of places. That Arsenal 2-0 also got current champ concordman a first 3 pointer this season, but he drops to the bottom three. Remaining there is Daniel, as he still looks for that first spot-on after his promotion. After a no show last week, it was good to see Sector4 return, and the Arsenal outcome got him up and running.
In Division One The decent week for BFG moves him up a couple of places to the summit. A reward for getting 8 out of 12 results, with one spot-on. A solid week for Tropical_Us, that included getting the Plymouth 1-1 spot-on, keeps him in the other automatic spot. Despite having the Barnsley 2-1 spot-on, last weeks leader bwildered drops a couple of places to third. Up eight places each, after their dramatic turnaround in form, are gerry_us and Blue4U2, who are fourth and fifth. Having the Arsenal 2-0 spot-on was enough for durham_exile to obtain the final play-off place. A first 3 pointer this season for Madeira163, the Plymouth 1-1, and noah4x4, the Arsenal 2-0, along with an impressive four outcomes for Moor_Pinot, leaves all three within a point of the top six. Three outcomes for wessex_exile keeps him a point above the early skirmishes for the wooden spoon. That leaves the first to post rule dividing the three competing for that spot, after Jorash63, Lewis_1 and Colukev all had the Arsenal and Birmingham outcomes.
