Premier Predictions (Week 30)

Week 30, just 9 more game weeks to go :(
The 12 team relegation battle goes on plus the challenge for 2nd place, only Arsenal and Burnley have little to fight for.
Obviously the big game is the early Saturday match between Man Utd and Liverpool, but some big games for the relegation fighters.
Poor week for the European teams except Arsenal who were excellent at Milan surprisingly.
7 Games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and Man City play on Monday to possibly move 5 points from the title?

Man Utd v Liverpool
Everton v Brighton
Huddersfield v Swansea
Newcastle v Southampton
WBA v Leicester
West Ham v Burnley
Chelsea v Crystal Palace

Arsenal v Watford
Bournemouth v Tottenham

Stoke v Man City

Good Luck All :)

Premier Predictions (Week 29)

After the Week 28 horror show it's on with Week 29
7 Games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and one on Monday.
A couple of relegation 6 pointers which might shake things up a bit, looks like 35-36 points could be enough to stay up meaning there are still a dozen teams who really need the points.
Chelsea really need something from the trip to City to avoid being cut from the top 4 battle.

Burnley v Everton
Leicester v Bournemouth
Southampton v Stoke
Swansea v West Ham
Tottenham v Huddersfield
Watford v WBA
Liverpool v Newcastle

Brighton v Arsenal
Man City v Chelsea

Crystal Palace v Man Utd

Good Luck All :)

Premier Predictions (Week 28)

Thought about it, but decided to keep it all Premier league this week.
So the 10 games are spread over 6 days this week, 7 games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and the last one is the re-arranged Arsenal v City game on Thursday NOT the League (Carabao) Cup Final on Sunday.

Will post the week 29 games before the final week 28 game which may or may not be a decider? Hope that is not too confusing :)

(Saturday 24th)
Leicester v Stoke
Bournemouth v Newcastle
Brighton v Swansea
Burnley v Southampton
Liverpool v West Ham
WBA v Huddersfield
Watford v Everton

(Sunday 25th)
Crystal Palace v Tottenham
Man Utd v Chelsea

(Thursday 1st March)
Arsenal v Man City

Good Luck All :)

R.I.P Cyrile Regis

Sad to hear that former West Brom star Cyrille Regis died today at only 59 years of age :(

Remember seeing him many times during his heyday, back in the days when West Brom were one of the best teams to watch with Regis, Tony "Bomber" Brown and Laurie Cunningham all playing.
Loved that Green and Yellow kit, I remember my Sunday league team voting that the kit we wanted to wear, but the boss said we could only afford a plain blue kit :(

Anyway this is an excuse to watch again one of the greatest games in my memory, when the Baggies went to Old Trafford and smashed Man U by 5-3 which included some stunning goals, and none better than Cyrille Regis' hitting the 5th.

Premier Predictions (Week 23)
