Premiership Predictions: Week 9

6
Saturday, 25 October 2008 Everton v Man Utd, 12:00 Poor David Moyes. All he wants is for Everton's season to turn around so he can start enjoying that massive new salary.

Hull City - Team of the season

0
Kings of the jungle On Saturday evening I was part of a drunk, betting syndicate that decided the odds on Hull City to beat Arsenal were just too generous to ignore. £100 later and suddenly we all look like footballing Nostradamus'. Yet none of us seriously expected a return on our alcohol fuelled punt as the sincere pre-match predictions were whether Arsenal would score 5 or 6 or 7. Click to continue reading...

Hull City put 2 past Arsenal at the Emirates to collect 3 points

1
It started promising for Arsenal; great passing football, a constant threat to score; but the first half ended goalless.

One of Theo Walcott's runs came off in the second half, and Cesc was there to tap it in, although it ended up being an own goal (it almost looked like Cesc got a touch). Click to continue reading...

Rob Styles' Penalty Decision

3
"George Bush today defended the US central bank's decision to bail out giant insurer AIG and sought to reassure markets that his administration was intent on confronting the growing crisis.

The AIG rescue was the fourth taxpayer-funded bailout of the year by the Bush administration, although it is at odds with Bush's free-market ideology and economic policies. Click to continue reading...

It’s Imperative We Get Something Out Of The Game

On Sunday, Manchester United travel to a ground where the home fans haven't seen a league defeat in an incredible 84 matches.

The Champions League group stages get underway tonight. The success of English clubs in recent seasons is undeniable but have oddsmakers have gone overboard in their evaluation of Premier League sides?

There are certainly some sizeable prices chalked next to the names of their opponents. Two that interest me the most are Bordeaux and Villarreal. Click to continue reading...

Sorry I didn't get to post yesterday. One of those days where my feet didn't touch the ground (or my fingers the keyboard!).

Of course there has only been one real football story the last couple of days. The Croatia v England match tonight.

It makes me laugh really. Being a girl still fairly new to football I listen to as many commentators as I can to improve my knowledge and understanding. Click to continue reading...

Long Arm Of The Law

So football 'bad boy' Joey Barton has received his 'sentence' from the FA for his attack on Ousmane Dabo.

A 12 match ban, 6 of which are suspended until the end of next season. The latter will only be enforced if there are any more violent conduct within the footballing setting.

I have to say when I saw him saw him playing last weekend I did not form the impression I was looking at a changed man. Click to continue reading...

West Ham managers quits

1
While everyone was on Keegan Watch over at Newcastle, it appears another manager beat him to the punch.

Alan Curbishley is out at West Ham based on an apparent "breach of trust and confidence".

Many believe Curbishley was upset over the management's handling of transfers. And the bookies had him as the odds-on fav as the first out, so it can't be too much of a surprise. Click to continue reading...
