No Betting, just beating
I (AO) always wanted to see if i could beat the soccer pundits at predicting scores. Of course they do it so that others can possibly make a quick buck but heres me having a go against Today Newspapers' Kenneth Goh (KG) and David Ngiau (DN).
For exact score accuracy, lets do it the soccer way with 3 points awarded. A correct prediction of the correct team to win/ lose or draw will be given 1 point.
Saturdays matches.
Birmingham vs Porstmouth -- KG: 1-1, DN: 1-0, AO: 1-2. I just feel that portsmouth have too much in attack. KG and DN look at history but Birmingham are too poor sometimes to rely on history to help them. Final Score 0-2, KG (0), DN (0), AO (1).
Bolton vs Man Utd -- KG: 0-1, DN: 1-1, AO: 1-3. United are scoring freely and just when you think a narrow win is on the cards they usually turn up trumps. Final Score 1-0, KG (0), DN (0), AO (0). This was the weekends surprise.
Arsenal vs Wigan -- KG: 2-1, DN: 2-0, AO: 2-0. Wigan to score? They couldnt do it against Spurs so... Arsenal have some injuries so the scoreline remains slightly modest. Final Score 2-0, KG (1), DN (3), AO (3).
Man City vs Reading -- KG: 0-2, DN: 1-1, AO: 2-1. I think they are giving Reading too much credit. They can score with Doyle and Kitson but they rely too much on hard running and against a technically sounder City its curtains. Final Score 2-1, KG (0), DN (0), AO (3). Got really lucky with this score. 94th min winner by Stephen Ireland.
Derby vs Chelsea -- KG: 0-2, DN: 0-2, AO: 0-3. Dont need to be conservative. I know in betting its a 1.5 goal handicap but Chelsea should win easily. Final Score 0-2, KG(3), DN (3), AO (1). The late kickoff was kind to my opponents but i still won this week's challenge.
Everton vs Sunderland -- KG: 2-0, DN: 1-1, AO: 1-1. I have a feeling Sunderland will tiger their way to a hard fought draw here. But it will be close. Expected this to be the surprise upset. But was SO WRONG. Final Score 7-1, KG (1), DN (0), AO (0).
Final score for this week KG (5), DN (6), AO (8). There were certain matches i abstain from because of bias like Liverpool and Spurs. And the rest i just got tired of typing. But in the final assessment i can hold my own against KG and DN and look forward to challenging them again next week. Any comments on the scoring system? Not sure if its fair.
