Premier Predictions (Week 36)

A normal week with 10 games spread over 3 days, 7 Saturday, 2 Sunday and a Monday night game.
The most important game is probably the South Coast derby, as Southampton really need to beat their neighbours and put pressure on Swansea in the late game at home to Chelsea.
Palace and Huddersfield both have winnable games meaning a Saints win and anything for Swansea puts West Ham and Brighton back in the mix?
At the top Man U should take advantage of Arsenal being in the middle of their European Semi Final tie, meaning it's just the fight for 3rd place.
Would be shocked if Liverpool or Tottenham dropped points this week, but Tottenham have the easier looking run in, so they could grab 3rd if Harry Kane manages to touch the ball (which he hasn't done much since his comeback from injury).

Liverpool v Stoke
Burnley v Brighton
Crystal Palace v Leicester
Huddersfield v Everton
Newcastle v WBA
Southampton v Bournemouth
Swansea v Chelsea

West Ham v Man City
Man Utd v Arsenal
Tottenham v Watford

Good Luck All :)

Paul has one hand on the virtual Trophy as both Me or Paulo need to win the last 3 rounds to pip him :(

R.I.P Ray Wilkins

Sad to hear that Ray "Butch" Wilkins passed away today after falling ill at the weekend, only 61years of age :(

Despite being an ex Chelsea player and the master of the sideways pass, I really liked him.
Loved him doing the voice over on the old Tango advert :)
and a favourite moment came in an England friendly away to Argentina in 1977 which was being shown live on TV.
The ball went out of play and an Argentinian ball boy was taking his time returning it, Wilkins went up to him smiling and said "give me the fucking ball" which was picked up by pitch side microphones, much to the annoyance of the TV commentators who spent a while apologising for any foul language we may have overheard :)
