Round 2 - I am beginning to realise I may not Know The Score

Mikael and Erdinc had a great week with 85 and 60 points respectively - rocketing them into serious contention.

Still, our leader remains sid_med_pli. After Finn has declared that he is not our leader, the mystery as to sid_med_pli's identity is only getting deeper. Does anyone know who the man in front is?

Also this week, two of the strongest pre-season favorites - Axel and Peter - took dramatic steps backwards to positions 6 and 7. Keep in mind that Axel and Peter have been 1 and 2 in the last two year's competitions.

Even though there's still a long way to go - 36 rounds - it is remarkable that there is already a spread of 170 points from top to bottom. Can the people below the watermark close the gap in the following weeks?

Looking at our scores, the big spread is not due to fantastic performances by the top half of the table. Our average score is 29 points - and with 115 points our mysterious leader is placed 4474th overall (out of 54000 players). Come on guys, we can do better!

Personally, I am starting to doubt my own predictive skills. My confidence is lower than Ferguson's and talk of a crisis is hard to suppress.

This round, there were 3 home wins, 2 away wins and 2 ties. Both home and away teams scored an average of 1,29 goals per game.
