Premier Predictions (Week 04)

8 games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday before the 1st International break of the year.
England playing 2 Euro 2020 qualifiers at home against Bulgaria and Kosovo.

I suppose the North London derby is the big game of the weekend plus quite a few games that are hard to call.
Will it be another low scoring week or a Paulo special??

Southampton v Man Utd
Chelsea v Sheff Utd
Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
Leicester v Bournemouth
Man City v Brighton
Newcastle v Watford
West Ham v Norwich
Burnley v Liverpool

Everton v Wolves
Arsenal v Tottenham

Good Luck All :)

Premier Predictions (Week 03)

Another early start to this week with a Friday night game, followed by 6 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.
The only 2 teams with 100% record Liverpool and Arsenal play a top of the table clash on Saturday, so a maximum of 1 team with 3 wins after that it could be a tight season?

Aston Villa v Everton

Norwich v Chelsea
Brighton v Southampton
Man Utd v Crystal Palace
Sheff Utd v Leicester
Watford v West Ham
Liverpool v Arsenal

Bournemouth v Man City
Tottenham v Newcastle
Wolves v Burnley

Good Luck All :)

Premier Predictions (Week 02)

Games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday this week.
Man City v Tottenham on Saturday night could be a classic after last season's Champions league matches.
West Ham have never beaten Brighton in the Premier league, so it would be a good time to start?
So here is week 2.

Arsenal v Burnley
Aston Villa v Bournemouth
Brighton v West Ham
Everton v Watford
Norwich v Newcastle
Southampton v Liverpool
Man City v Tottenham
Sheff Utd v Crystal Palace
Chelsea v Leicester
Wolves v Man Utd

Good Luck All :)

Super Cup (watching as I type)
What a great game, hard to believe Chelsea have had 2 fewer days to prepare and came off the back of a thrashing on Sunday when Liverpool won well on Friday.
Mason Mount looks a player and a future England star.
Liverpool lucky to get it to penalties, but came through at the end.
Not sure why Pedro didn't take the last one as Tammy Abraham looked petrified, great for Adrian though (top keeper) :)

Andy Carroll

I liked Andy Carroll, if he only he could have stayed fit he could have been a West Ham legend.
But 32 goals in just 120 appearances in 7 years just kept the physio's busy.
Hope he does well at Newcastle as long as he doesn't get fit for the games against West Ham.

Premier Predictions (Week 01)

It's time for the Premier League again.
Premier Predictions 2019-20 is up and running.

Premier league is back on Friday, the first of many re-arranged games this season with all the different TV companies grabbing a handful.
As far as I can see Sky have the majority on Friday through to Monday, BT have the Saturday lunchtime games, and Amazon have got all the midweek (Tuesday to Thursday) games.

T&C's - Usual rules apply
3 Points for a correct score, 1 Point for a correct result.
Predictions League will be decided on weekly wins first, if 2 or more people share a weekly win that will be classed as a draw, if at the end things are still level the toal points for the season come into play.
Predictions in the comments please :)

Hopefully the regular players will be back and anyone reading this blog is welcome to join in at any point, just let me know a name and club supported.
Obviously predictions will only count if they are made before the kick offs, please try and post the whole set at once but I won't enforce it as these Friday night games catch everyone out including me.

Prizes - Not much!! just a picture of a Trophy and the admiration of everyone who plays 😎

First set - Friday 9th to Sunday 11th

Liverpool v Norwich
West Ham v Man City
Bournemouth v Sheff Utd
Burnley v Southampton
Crystal Palace v Everton
Watford v Brighton
Tottenham v Aston Villa
Leicester v Wolves
Newcastle v Arsenal
Man Utd v Chelsea

It's also the European Super Duper Cup on Wednesday in Istanbul, and it looks like Chelsea have been screwed over as they have to play away to Man Utd at 4:30pm on Sunday when Liverpool's game was brought forward to Friday?

Good Luck All 😃

All Time Predictions Table - All Competitions

Think that covers everything :)

Oh forgot my Cup Trophy 😊

Break Over

Wow, over two and a half months since my last post?
Real life really getting in the way.

Not sure when the season actually ended with all the various continental cup competitions only finishing a couple of weeks ago, and the early rounds of European competition already in full swing.

Championship starts tonight and the other leagues tomorrow, Charity Shield on Sunday and the real footie starts next Friday.
Transfer market is already crazy and will update the spending frenzy sometime after Thursdays deadline.
Will make all those posts I've been putting off in the next couple of days (probably).

Premier League predictions back very soon, and hopefully the regulars will be back to make a competition of it.

Fantasy football has taken a hit as my competition of choice has gone free with a 5 team maximum and crap prizes, which is annoying as I'm probably going to have more time on my hands after September when my latest work redundancy happens :(

Stay tuned :)
