Premier Predictions (Week 27 + Week 28)

Time for another double bill of Premier League action.

Week 27
Kicks off on Friday night for some reason? 2 games Friday, 4 Games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday plus a bonus game of the League Cup Final between City and Chelsea (wonder if Chelsea can keep it below 6?).
2 games have been postponed because of this so Everton and Brighton fans have a weekend off.
The big one is at Old Trafford on Sunday, Liverpool needing a point to stay clear of City.

Cardiff v Watford
West Ham v Fulham

Burnley v Tottenham
Bournemouth v Wolves
Newcastle v Huddersfield
Leicester v Crystal Palace

Arsenal v Southampton
Man Utd v Liverpool
Chelsea v Man City (LCF) (90 Minute Score)

Week 28
4 Games on Tuesday, 6 on Wednesday.
Can West Ham do Liverpool a favour? unlikely 😢
Chelsea face Tottenham with Harry Kane probably back?, if Sarri can grab 3 wins in the next week I reckon his job is safe 🤣

Cardiff v Everton
Huddersfield v Wolves
Leicester v Brighton
Newcastle v Burnley

Arsenal v Bournemouth
Southampton v Fulham
Chelsea v Tottenham
Crystal Palace v Man Utd
Liverpool v Watford
Man City v West Ham

Good Luck All  😃

F.A Cup Predictions 2019 (Part 3)

F.A Cup time again, 8 games played over 4 days.
Friday is the QPR game, and the big one is Monday night with Chelsea hoping to get something from their Manchester treble.
Just 7 Prem teams left and at least one less after Monday.
No replays anymore in the 5th Round, so it has to be decided on the day.

Predictions at 90 minutes only (so you can go for a draw), extra time and penalties do not count.

QPR v Watford
Brighton v Derby
Wimbledon v Millwall
Newport v Man City
Bristol C v Wolves
Doncaster v Crystal Palace
Swansea v Brentford
Chelsea v Man Utd

Good Luck All :)

Current Scores (48 Games)
Lee 31, Paul 28, Paulo 24, Biopunk 20, Gibbo 10

Gordon Banks

Really sad news that one of the true legends of Football died today 😢
Gordon Banks was 81 years old.

England's keeper in the 1966 win, and but for a mystery stomach bug before the Quarter final against West Germany in 1970  might have been a two time winner?
He had a long career with Leicester and then Stoke. I think I saw him in the flesh at least once but can't remember what the result was?


Everyone is going on about that save from Pele in the 1970 World Cup, but the one that I remember most is the save from Geoff Hurst's penalty in 1972 League Cup Semi Final which stopped us making the Final that season 😭

Premier Predictions (Week 26)

7 Games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and one on Monday.
The top 3 are all at home to teams that have been totally unpredictable recently, so shocks may be on the cards again this week?
West Ham go to Palace where they had 3 straight wins until last years draw when Palace scored in the 7th minute of the 5 minutes injury time :(

Fulham v Man Utd
Crystal Palace v West Ham
Huddersfield v Arsenal
Liverpool v Bournemouth
Southampton v Cardiff
Watford v Everton
Brighton v Burnley
Tottenham v Leicester
Man City v Chelsea
Wolves v Newcastle

Good Luck All :)
