It worked! Everyone took that psychic energy we used to push Chelsea to their first league defeat and made those little plastic balls spin in such a way that Arsenal got the Champions League draw we were all hoping for! You'd think that with all the mental power between us we'd be a bit better at picking scores though...

The Podium: Newcomer amart612 shows his stuff and takes top spot with 15 points, which seems to be our normal upper limit at this point. SteakBaller was just behind, while Giba140 alphabetically edges out zombiejay for third.
Clever Pick of the Week: While most of us picked Tottenham to draw or lose to Swansea, amart612 and Browny59 knew that a broken clock is right twice a day, and picked up three points.
Crisis Pick of the Week: George Halvatzis Jr. picked both Chelsea and City to drop points and was the only one to come up empty in either match.
Wishful Thinking Pick of the Week: gxjim was hoping for a 3-3 'best league in the world' draw between twin titans United and Liverpool, but unfortunately only one of the two decided to live up to the hype. Don't worry though gxjim, I'm sure Sky will be contacting you about a punditry job in the near future.

SteakBaller tightens his grip around first place, while amart612 isn't wasting any time hanging around the bottom of the table.
No cup match for a while I believe, and last week's post can be found here. Let me know if you find any mistakes.
