Premier Predictions (Week 09)

Early start this week with a Friday night Midlands derby kicking off at 8pm
Followed by 5 games on Saturday then 4 games on Sunday.
Top game will be Arsenal v Liverpool if Arsenal have any players left, a good week to face the Gooners as they could be missing most of their defence as well as Saka and Odegaard.
How will West Ham's dodgy defence cope against Man Utd's dodgy defence?
A few teams with Euro ties this week also have Carabao cup next week.

Leicester v Nottm Forest
*
Aston Villa v Bournemouth
Brentford v Ipswich
Brighton v Wolves
Man City v Southampton
Everton v Fulham

Chelsea v Newcastle

Things I Miss

To prove I'm an old git living in the past  😁
Things I miss from my glory days of watching football.

Weekend League matches all played together at 3pm on a Saturday.
Knowing at the start of the season when your team was playing.
Never playing on a Thursday.
Paying at the turnstile on the day.
Terraces, Singing and swaying with the crowd, or being able to move to a better position.
Shirts without advertising on the front.
Cup Replays.
Muddy pitches.
Players wearing 1-11
Cheap coach travel to all away games.
Train ticket, match entrance, a programme, Pint and a burger before kick off and still have change from a fiver.
Friday night games at Southend, due to market on Saturday. Leaving Saturday free for West Ham.

Premier Predictions (Week 08)

The Prem is back 😉
7 games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday, 1 on Monday
Another London derby for West Ham to start, Top 4 clash on Sunday.
Bottom club Wolves take on Man City, Arsenal go to Bournemouth.

Thomas Tuchel the new England manager, did well and unlucky to be fired at Chelsea, Not so good at PSG and Bayern Munich.
Not an inspiring choice but for those saying we should have an English manager there wasn't much to choose from, only Howe, Dyche and O'Neil in the Premier league, Carsley who doesn't seem to want the job, or currently unemployed Potter, Allardyce or Redknapp and that's about it.

Tottenham v West Ham
Fulham v Aston Villa
Ipswich v Everton
Man Utd v Brentford
Newcastle v Brighton
Southampton v Leicester
Bournemouth v Arsenal
*
Wolves v Man City
Liverpool v Chelsea
*
Nottm Forest v Crystal Palace

Good Luck All  😀

England

England's 2-8-0 formation not really working, Carsley's job interview not going well.
Greece 2-1 winners + 3 Disallowed goals and a brilliant goal saving clearance by Colwill.
Totally deserved win.

?? Solanke 2 England Caps

Vitesse - 25 goals
Liverpool - 0 goals - 1 England cap
Bournemouth - 72 goals
Tottenham - 2 goals - 1 England cap

Proving my old point of if pull on a shirt for Liverpool, Tottenham, Man Utd or Chelsea you will get a call up, all others have to be exceptional for any other team?

 

Also RIP George Baldock 😢

Premier Predictions (Week 07)

7 Games on Saturday, 3 on Sunday before yet another International week.

Quite a few tough to call games this week 😕
Arsenal should beat Southampton unless Ramsdale has a blinder.
Liverpool should beat Palace, although they did lose at home to them last time.
Fulham on the up might give Man City a game?
West Ham who knows? Ipswich 4 straight draws.
Villa on a high, Man Utd in the dumps. Should be a home banker but football doesn't work like that 🙄

Crystal Palace v Liverpool
Arsenal v Southampton
Brentford v Wolves
Leicester v Bournemouth
Man City v Fulham
West Ham v Ipswich
Everton v Newcastle
*
Aston Villa v Man Utd
Chelsea v Nottm Forest
Brighton v Tottenham

Good Luck All  😀
