Week 3 saw 5 home wins and 4 away wins in our 10 matches. Nearly everyone got at least 1 win and no fewer than 8 got 2 wins for 3 points and a green W.
Nearly everyone got a home win. By far the most popular prediction was Aston Villa's thrashing of Everton - 16 of us got that one. 7 got Norwich's win over Millwall. No-one chose one of the other 3 home wins by Tottenham, West Ham & Stoke.
The away wins were harder. 6 got Brighton's win at Wolves, 1 got Birmingham's win at Bristol City and 1 got Preston's win at Sheff Wed. The rest of us were tripped up by Watford losing at Stoke, Chelsea losing at West Ham, Coventry only drawing at Swansea and Man Utd losing at Spurs.
The 8 players getting maximum points this week were stoatey, jrperry1882, qprfcfromwhitecity, SydneyR, ashqpr, jimjams, kensalr and CutePR. The last 3 of these scored their first points of the season so everyone has at least 1 point now.
LurkR and Rosco Bosco both lost their 100% records but hang on to the top 2 spots, 2 points clear of absolutecaulker in 3rd. The rest of the top 8 are behind absolutecaulker only on goal difference.
Agreed, so tough. I've not picked a team who has lost yet but they all keep drawing so I'm way down the table! Getting both a home and away win is so much harder than it looks.

Yes, 2 wins and 4 draws so far. That's tough luck.
