Premier Predictions (Week 31)

Mixed bag this week before another International break
8 Premier league games + the League Cup Final - 2 games postponed
(Result at 90+ minutes to count, no extra time)
One game Friday, 4 games Saturday, 4 games on Sunday

Four 'Champions' League teams now concentrating on the league + maybe Forest, Palace or Villa?
Arsenal and Liverpool safely through, Chelsea and Man City out with a whimper, Newcastle looked good for the first half against Barcelona but fell apart in the 2nd half, Tottenham actually won a game but were out of it after 20 minutes last week.

Big relegation battle at Tottenham, North East derby and a few hard to pick others

Bournemouth v Man Utd
*
Brighton v Liverpool
Fulham v Burnley
Everton v Chelsea
Leeds v Brentford

Newcastle v Sunderland
Aston Villa v West Ham
Tottenham v Nottm Forest
Arsenal v Man City (LC)

Good Luck All  😀

8 weeks to go and Paul has a 5 game lead, my 2 low scoring wins have delayed the inevitable, but I don't hold out much hope 😐

The Adventures Of My Avatar

About 20 years ago I decided to use the Smoking Skull as my avatar.
A couple of years back Paul did me an AI version, recently decided to try it myself and was quite pleased with the result 👍
Sent that off to my son in America (who has access to better software than me) with a few ideas
He came back with many 8 second clips (have to pay for longer ones), and have joined them in a compilation video
First draft so will hopefully improve over time, but I was happy 😀

Premier Predictions (Week 30)

In the middle of all these European games we have a Premier League weekend.
5 games Saturday, 4 on Sunday, 1 on Monday

Most games have been unpredictable this season (as our scores have proved), and due to midweek results this lot are as well.

Everton's away form might give Arsenal problems?
Usually dread Man City coming to Stratford, Haaland likes playing us with 7 goals in his last 3 games against us, but with them needing an unlikely masterclass to overturn Madrid maybe they'll not be at it?
Forest have Euro games against tough opponents so might have problems against unpredictable Fulham.
Was hoping Liverpool would go goal crazy at home to Tottenham, but seeing them in midweek looks unlikely even against the worst team in the league.

Bad week for the English teams in the 'Champions' League last 16
Tottenham, Chelsea and Man City all got thrashed, Liverpool toothless but only lost by one.
Arsenal needing a dubious last minute penalty for a draw, some credit to Newcastle who were unlucky to only draw with Barcelona.
Obviously someone forgot to tell the rest that the Premier League is the best in the World 🙄


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


Good Luck All  😀

FA Cup Predictions 2026 (5th Round)

FA Cup 5th Round  🏆

Possible shocks? but unlikely
Can Wolves beat Liverpool twice in a week, all depends how serious Liverpoo take it.
Same goes for West Ham, Man City, Leeds who all have other things to fight for.
Chelsea might have to play a first XI away at Wrexham, Arsenal should win easily.
One game Friday, 3 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, 1 on Monday.

Usual Cup rules - 90 minute scores count (not ET or Penalties)

Wolves v Liverpool
Mansfield v Arsenal
Wrexham v Chelsea
Newcastle v Man City
Fulham v Southampton
Port Vale v Sunderland
Leeds v Norwich
West Ham v Brentford

Good luck all (or just Paulo)  😀

Premier Predictions (Week 29)

Midweek games - 4 on Tuesday, 5 on Wednesday, 1 on Thursday

Arsenal go to Brighton who have found a bit of form.
Man City are at home to Forest and I hope will do us a favour.
Man Utd at Newcastle which on current form looks like an away win?
West Ham go to Fulham which used to be a good place to get a win, but London games have been a disaster this season.
Thursday's game should be interesting.
Will Rosenior, Pereira and Tudor survive the week 😆

Annoyed with TNT, I get it as part of the Virgin package and they are supposed to be covering all games this week. But one isn't being shown the Fulham v West Ham one grrrrr...  😡


Bournemouth v Brentford
Everton v Burnley
Leeds v Sunderland
Wolves v Liverpool

Aston Villa v Chelsea
Brighton v Arsenal
Fulham v West Ham
Man City v Nottm Forest
Newcastle v Man Utd

Tottenham v Crystal Palace

Good Luck All  😀
