Titus Bramble Back To Doing What He Does Best.

0
Bramble, under absolutely no pressure whatsoever, gets a pass and inexplicably chests it down to the on rushing Ishmael Miller who, coming as a complete surprise to no one, buries the error into the back of the net. Luckily Wigan were able to grab two back and thus the three points, and Titus gets to [. Click to continue reading...

Prem Predictions Week 15: United to Win Manchester Derby

2
Saturday, 29 November 2008 Middlesbrough v Newcastle, 15:00 Saturday's fixtures aren't that exciting (Sunday's where the action's at.) But if you had to watch a Saturday game, watch this one. If only to see a possible comeback from Mark Viduka. If he partners Owen at any point, that's officially the most injury prone strike partnership in world [. Click to continue reading...

Premiership Predictions Week 14: Arsenal and Spurs to Bounce Back

0
Saturday, 22 November 2008 Chelsea v Newcastle, 15:00 Newcastle have no away wins this season, and won't be getting their first at Stamford Bridge. Especially with Joey Barton out for two months with bad karma knee ligaments. Nicolas Anelka (eight goals in his last four games) could face Newcastle on his own here and probably get a [.

Premiership Predictions Week 13: First Defeat for Redknapp

2
Saturday, 15 November 2008 Bolton v Liverpool, 12:45 Steven Gerrard's right foot vs Jussi Jaaskelainen's incredible octopus impression. Quite a contest, but Bolton's two match winning streak ends here. And Rafa Benitez will insist on using the word "jes" in his post-match interview. Odds: Bolton 5-1, Draw 13-5, Liverpool 8-13 Prediction: 0-1 Arsenal v Aston Villa, 15:00 John Carew has a [. Click to continue reading...

Premiership Predictions Week 12: Arsenal to Drop Out of the Top Four

Saturday, 8 November 2008 Arsenal v Man Utd, 12:45 With Walcott, Gallas, Sagna, Adebayor and Eboue all doubtful and Robin van Persie injured, we could be seeing Arsenal's Carling Cup team at the Emirates. That might work against Sheffield United, but it won't work against Manchester United. Odds: (win/draw/win) Gunners 2-1, Draw 9-4, Man Utd 11-8 Prediction: 2-0 to [. Click to continue reading...

Premiership Predictions Week 11: Spurs to Beat Liverpool

2
Saturday, 1 November 2008 Everton v Fulham, 12:45 Looks like an Everton win, until you realize the Toffees have only picked up two home points this season. And Andy Johnson (finally) found his shooting boots on Wednesday, so maybe he'll do a Bentley against his old employers. He's 250-1 for a hat-trick. Click to continue reading...

Premiership Predictions: Week 10

3
Wednesday, 29 October 2008 Arsenal v Tottenham, 20:00 This has to be one of the most interesting north London derbies for a long while. Arsenal clearly have the better team of footballers (well, they do) but Spurs have the Redknapp bounce (or the Judas bounce, depending on who you ask). The former might outweigh the latter.

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. But the damn Premier League fixture computer keeps pitting The Toffees against teams with bigger and better squads. Better luck next week David. Click to continue reading...

Premier League Predictions 2008/9 - Week 8

I think we've established by now that my predictions are pretty unreliable. If I say something's going to happen, then it almost definitely won't.

Saturday With The Big Boys: Dempsey Gets His Chance

5
Dempsey is listed to start up front with Zamora for Fulham today, as they take on WBA.  Amidst rumors of Clint's unhappiness on the bench, Hodgson has given the Texan a chance to prove himself and hopefully he'll seize it by the collar and put in a good performance. UPDATE: Dempsey didn't suck (but Fulham did [. Click to continue reading...

1
Saturday, 4 October 2008 Blackburn v Man Utd, 17:30 Paul Ince's Rovers beat Newcastle last week, but Man Utd will be a tougher customer - even without the injured Scholes and Rooney. Fergie faces yet another of his managerial offspring, which has to make him feel old. Prediction: 0-2 Bonus Prediction: Fergie to give Ince deliberately bad "advice" before [.

Premiership Predictions 2008/9 - Week 6

6
Saturday Arsenal v Hull City, 17:30 Can Hull's excellent run keep going. Against Arsenal? Away? No, it can't. Prediction: 2-1 to Arsenal. Not an easy win for the Gunners, but a win nonetheless. Bonus Prediction: DNA tests confirm Hull's 39 year old striker Dean Windass as the father of Jack Wilshere, Carlos Vela and Kieran Gibbs. Click to continue reading...

Premiership Predictions 2008/9 - Week 5

3
I think I'm getting better at this predicting business. Last week's attempts at clairvoyance actually yielded two correct scores (Man City 1-3 Chelsea and Portsmouth 2-1 Middlesbrough). But I also predicted that Liverpool vs Man Utd would be goalless only for Carlos Tevez to make a liar out of me within three minutes. Click to continue reading...

A boring game and a big signing

0

We could have done a lot worse, a loss would not have helped our cause. But the game against West-Brom yesterday which ended in an extremely boring 0-0 showed just how badly we need balls in the back of the net. The trotters were par with WBA in just about every category.

This brings me to a slightly more optimistic bit of news.

Premier League 2008/9 Predictions - Week 3

4
Well, I did get a couple of things right last week, like Daniel Sturridge scoring for Man City. But overall, not so good. Arsenal to beat Fulham? You'd think so, but no. But maybe third time's the charm. Here are my predictions for week three in the Premier League. Saturday Bolton 1-1 West Bromwich Albion A win over Stoke [. Click to continue reading...

How many scores did I get right last week? Absolutely none, that's how many. But am I discouraged? Of course not. You see, it wasn't my fault. Turns out someone (not me) had forgotten to recalibrate the old crystal ball for the new season and it was still on the 2007/8 settings. But I've had the [... Click to continue reading...

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.

It's not always true.

For example, because I am not seeing much of this man these days, this man is rapidly replacing him as my trigger for a slightly increased heart rate and general object of my affection.

And his team played great football against Liverpool this afternoon. Click to continue reading...

Let’s Hope This Isn’t an Omen for West Brom Fans…

5
West Bromwich Albion fans are (quite rightly) very proud of their team making it into the 2008/9 Premier League. But let's hope this Baggies fan's attempt to reach the top of a fence isn't a bad omen for their season back with the big boys. Because nothing says "relegation" quite like falling down just as [.
