IKTS Week 36: Gunning the foxes!

Zero points for the Gunners after showing a vast array of defensive deficiencies. Manchester United decided to imitate us by scoring none and conceding six, with a particularly bad showing at Everton, where everybody seemed to have scored on de Gea, including Theo. Chelsea drew at home against Burnley, giving us a sliver of hope, especially if the Manchester United versus Chelsea fixture next weekend finishes tied. Manchester City and Liverpool keep steamrolling against Premier League opposition, with Manchester City winning in a tight one against our noisy neighbors then winning away in their Manchester derby. The participants had decent scores this week despite numerous surprises.

Scores for the week:

Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 12 (2)
hansdampf 11 (1)
sammy dog 9 (1)
Geaux_HR 8 (1)

Stars of the week: Ray from Norfolk comes first with 12 points (and two correct IKTS predictions) a point ahead of hansdampf with 11 points (and one correct IKTS prediction) while sammy dog completes the podium with 9 points (and one correct IKTs prediction) but Geaux_HR and inthekcmix are right behind.
