Premier Predictions (Week 03)

Another 3 day weekend with games spread all over it (Covid permitting?)  😷

6 on Sky, 3 on BT and 1 on Amazon?

I think I prefer the option of no artificial crowd noise, Sean Dyche was quite entertaining last week "get your f***ing foot in" 😆
6 of the 7 unbeaten teams play each other, so hopefully some good games.

Brighton v Man Utd
Crystal Palace v Everton
West Brom v Chelsea
Burnley v Southampton

Sheff Utd v Leeds
Tottenham v Newcastle
Man City v Leicester
West Ham v Wolves

Fulham v Aston Villa
Liverpool v Arsenal

Good Luck All  😀

Premier Predictions (Week 02)

Thursday already so here's this weeks spaced out fixtures, (might take me a while to get back into the routine).

I can see Mourinho having a meltdown this week with Tottenham playing in Bulgaria tonight, and if they win having to possibly play 8 games in the next 15 days.

Everton v West Brom
Leeds v Fulham
Man Utd v Crystal Palace
Arsenal v West Ham

Southampton v Tottenham
Newcastle v Brighton
Chelsea v Liverpool
Leicester v Burnley

Aston Villa v Sheff Utd
Wolves v Man City

Good Luck All 😀

Premier Predictions (Week 01)

It's time for the Premier League again, so Premier Predictions 2020-21 is up and running.

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 so I can give you some colours.
 

Premier league is back on Saturday, but fixtures are subject to change (they have been changed again today). 2 of the games have been postponed supposedly to give the Manchester clubs a rest after the European games, but most of the players played in Internationals last week? Games are all being moved around due to the Coronavirus, the decision seems to have been made that all games will be available to watch on telly so are unlikely to be played at the same time.

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 total points for the season come into play.
Predictions in the comments please :)

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 - Just the admiration of everyone who plays 😎

First set - Saturday 12th September to Monday 14th September (Just 8 Games)

Fulham v Arsenal
Crystal Palace v Southampton
Liverpool v Leeds
West Ham v Newcastle

West Brom v Leicester
Tottenham v Everton

Sheff Utd v Wolves
Brighton v Chelsea

Postponed Games
Burnley P Man Utd
Man City P Aston Villa

Football Nostalgia

Finally got round to updating one of my other blogs - Football Nostalgia

I've got box loads of old football memorabilia so decided to scan a pile of it to share with others, and remind myself of happier times.

Covering a whole range of teams (but including a lot of old West Ham stuff), give it a look if you have nothing better to do

Season 2020/21

It could be another really weird season with the Coronavirus problems, nobody really knows what the next 9 months hold on that score? Even if everything was normal it would be a really hard job to predict what is going to happen this season.
The title looks like a 4 horse race?
Liverpool won by a mile last season, but were really lucky with injuries to key players that all the other contenders seemed to get. They haven't added to their squad yet and got rid of a few squad players.
It will be down to the other teams improving on bad seasons to put pressure on them.
Man City probably have the best squad but losing Sane and Silva will weaken them, and some of Guardiola's tactics last season make you wonder if he's as good as he thinks he is.
Man Utd looked good at the end of last season and Fernandes was the best buy last year, the defence still looks weak so would need to improve a lot.
Chelsea have spent big already with £200m of players coming in, but will they knit together and how will some of last year's breakthrough youngsters react to losing their place, and will they sort out their goalie problem?

The other possible contenders are Arsenal, Wolves and Tottenham.
Arsenal seem to have revived under Arteta and should have a good season, Wolves went off the boil a bit last season but did play a lot of games, will miss Doherty. Tottenham still don't look a force, got some good players but can't see them challenging for the title.
I would guess Leicester, Southampton, Newcastle and Sheff Utd will be mid table.

At the bottom it's any 3 from the rest.
Can't see any of the promoted sides doing a Norwich, but don't think they will set the world alight.
Possibly a season of struggle for West Ham, Burnley, Palace, Brighton, Villa, Everton and the 3 promoted teams.
Things looked bright a couple of weeks ago for West Ham with Diangana back on the left to supply Haller, and Bowen improving all the time, but the sale of Grady to a rival has really put a dampner on everything.
