The Potters opened their season with a goalless draw against Chelsea, and the result was one that none of the Beat the Manager participants saw coming.
There were 29 predictions and 17 predicted there would be a winner from the game, the other 12 going for the scores remaining tied at the final whistle but every one of the dozen going for a score draw.
Four predictors picked up two points for predicting a winning side but with either Chelsea or Stoke scoring no goals.
