IKTS Week 8 Recap


No one picked up any points after Arsenal's shock draw with Hull, while everyone got something from Arsenal's shock win against Anderlecht. You win some, you lose some.

An interesting week. Only six points separate the top from the bottom, and probably a record low number of IKTSs. I'd guess that the winning teams were easy to predict, but the scorelines ended up higher than our usual predictions.

The Podium: Steakballer is prime rib at the top of the podium, while ramsfanindia and you gots to chill draw for second and third.

Clever Pick of the Week: Steakballer and Sam5001 both take the clever pick for scoring three points in matchups most of us got wrong (New-Lei and Sto-Swa). In other news, I'm seeing a doctor to figure out why I can never give the clever pick to just one person.

Crisis Pick of the Week: PowderedDonutPancakeSurprise takes the crisis pick as the only one to miss points from Sou-Sun, predicting instead a dour 1-1 draw. The rest of us only got one point though, as we're too cowardly to make 8-0 predictions unless it's Arsenal playing.

Philly37's Wishful Thinking Pick of the Week: Which leads me to our wishful pick, won by Arsene Wenger all of us for believing Arsenal would cruise to a combined 6-0 victory over feeble opposition, instead of snatching four points from the jaws of defeat.

Le Poulain Francais' lead is shrinking ever so ominously, while you gots to chill boosts himself to an Europa league place and ramsfanindia takes a big step off the foot of the table.

Everyone who played got a least a point for their unwavering faith in Arsenal. AStar submitted a last minute cup prediction and is now alphabetically in first! In unrelated news, Steakballer changes his username to AASteakballer.
