IKTS Week 5: Kloppered

Cmon Arsenal, I drag my ass out of bed at 230am on a workday and you give me only one shot on target in 90 minutes?! At least the game against City was eventful on both ends, instead of two halves of unrelenting OHFUCKOHFUCKOHFUCK. We can also take respite that Arsenal's CL group stage will only get easier from here, and that Galatasaray's 1-1 draw with Anderlecht means the Gunners' assurance of at least second place is a little more sound.

Scores!

The Podium: Le Poulain Francais continues to show us how it's done, and takes first place with 13 points. brownypts, Scrupio, and specialkevin all scored the same and are thus cordially invited to a monkey knifefight to determine which two fill out the podium and who ends up with nothing but stab wounds.

Clever Pick of the Week: specialkevin and wychui21 were the only two to predict Leicester's upstart victory over titan-slayers Stoke.

Crisis Pick of the Week: George Halvatzis Jr. takes this week's crisis pick after calling a Chelsea loss against Swansea. I'm assuming he thought the London squad would be a bit lethargic after apparently winning the title in week three.

Philly37's Wishful Thinking Pick of the Week: Astar opened last week's predictions by calling an 8-0 Arsenal victory over City, a wishful pick of the finest order. If this game was called "I Am The Most Optimistic" (IATMO) instead of IKTS, Astar would be crushing it.

Le Poulain Francais holds his top spot (see a pattern here?), while Adnan Ilyas and specialkevin leapfrog you gots to chill to contest those Champions league places. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the table, ramsfanindia triples his score with a solid week, and Brad Masson continues his Mesut Ozil impression. #invisible
