Transfer Rumours
Daniel Sturridge to West Ham for £18m ??
When he's fit I rate him as the best striker in the Premiership, trouble is ... he's never fit.
After paying them £15m for one injury prone striker, would we be willing to blow the January budget on a player who most likely would be very lucky to play 10 games before the end of the season?
With the money available in the Premier league and possible European competition, maybe this deal isn't a totally made up story like most "exclusives", but I really can't see it happening.

Premier Predictions (Week 23)
8 Games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday.
Norwich have been spending some money this week although I think Naismith is injured, so Liverpool will be happy.
West Ham will hope for a double over City, we have beaten them twice in the last 3 meetings but depends which version of City turn up.
Arsenal v Chelsea is usually interesting, although no Mourinho means it will be about the game. Ref is Clattenburg so he should be equally bad for both teams :)

The Season So Far
Nothing predictable so far this season, nobody has put together a run that looks like claiming the title.
I tipped Arsenal at the start, but they are only top because nearly all the other teams are having a bad season. Arsenal seem to be coming through their usual injury crisis without too much damage so it's possible?
Man city look the most likely to challenge, but without Kompany they look far from safe at the back, Aguerro is the quality striker in the league but he is looking injury prone. If he stays fit I expect City to finish top but without him City look weak.
Leicester are doing brilliant but you have to worry if they suffer from a few key injuries, but whatever happens they should still finish top 10 which is an achievement.
Man Utd are still a work in progress, but the current 5th place is probably better than their play deserves.
Tottenham look like they will have their best Premier league season, can't pick many faults with their current crop of players.
West Ham and Stoke are possibly over achieving but both should be safe for a top 10 finish.
Crystal Palace are on a sticky patch at the moment and really need a good striker, really don't think Adebeyor fits that bill?
Everton should be doing better, but their defence is really letting them down.
Liverpool will no doubt blow another fortune to try and improve an average squad, but without injury prone Sturridge they haven't improved at all this season.
Chelsea are having a nightmare season, but they should get into the top half by the end but I can't see them challenging for a top 4 position.
At the bottom Aston Villa need a miracle, but I think any of about 8 teams could drop into the relegation spots with them.
I fancy Newcastle and Bournemouth to survive, but teams like West Brom and Watford could get dragged in?

Fantasy Football Update
Current Predictions League full table
Selected Fantasy Football Leagues
FPL - Gary still leads, but the rest of us are closing in.
TFF -
Blog League - Ryan and Rob still lead the way with Leslie up to 3rd.
My League - Shame they changed the rules this season, as it should be sitting 12th overall.
Rick's - John and Rob leading, but I'm still in contention.
FISO - No.1 League, pleased to have made the top 5 in this one.
FFUK - No.2 League, again having a good run in this one.
Currently sitting 4th in the Twitter League and leading 4 other leagues, so hopefully if I can keep it up I might win a few more medals, and possibly some money?
Been sensible with transfers so far, mainly only swapping injured players so plently left for the 2nd half of the season. Main dangers are someone going goal crazy in the Cup, and Chelsea's return to form as I've avoided most of the Chelsea players.

January Transfers
January Transfer window shut, time to put up the list of who has spent what in the Premier League.
Most deals this window have been loan deals, and most of the money spent has been spent by clubs desperate to stay up and grab a slice of next season's TV money.
Only 3 clubs failed to sign anyone, Tottenham and Man Utd already have huge squads so didn't really need anyone, Aston Villa seem to have sent the message that they have given up and manager Remi Garde sounds like he'll be off soon?

Expert?
It always makes me smile when I read the headline "Mark Lawrenson BBC Football Expert"?
As our Prediction competition proves none of us are experts, but we don't get paid licence payers money to do it. So far this season he's excelling with Leicester, Watford and West Ham in the bottom 4 according to him.
Predictably he has a top 4 of Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea which might have been a good tip if you had chosen all the scores before the season started, but he chooses them by the week.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year 2016 to all :)
Hopefully a good year coming up with a really open Premier League which could go to any of a number of teams.
Euro 2016 in France coming up in June where hopefully England, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Republic can all do a decent job? something to look forward too.
West Ham will play out the final games at the Boleyn Ground, Upton Park before moving over to Stratford, and West Ham are one of a number of teams who might make Euro competition next season?
Anyway a great start to the year :)

R.I.P Jimmy Hill
I have to admit that I didn't really like the man, but it cannot be denied that he had a huge impact on modern football.
He was responsible as the players union chief for the abolition of the maximum wage (£20 at the time) which at the time was a good thing, but with the current mega wages for some players now doesn't look so good.
He created the first all seater stadium (which is something I still hate), and was the driving force behind the 3 points for a win rule change which has been a good thing.
Also he had an amazing chin, always remember the joke by Jasper Carrott that Hill could get pickles out of a jar with it :)
But sad that another famous name has gone :(

European Club Draws
Here's the last 16 draw for this seasons Champions League
Arsenal v Barcelona
AS Roma v Real Madrid
Benfica v Zenit St Petersburg
Dynamo Kiev v Manchester City
Juventus v Bayern Munich
KAA Gent v VFL Wolfsburg
Paris St Germain v Chelsea
PSV Eindhoven v Atletico Madrid
Tough draws for Arsenal against the likely winners, and Chelsea having to play the team that knocked them out last season.
Man City's only complaint could be that Kiev are not allowed to have visiting supporters due to their racism against Chelsea fans earlier in the competition? surely a total ban would have been better? Yaya Toure won't be happy.
The Europa "Mickey Mouse League" draw, last 32
Anderlecht v Olympiakos
Borussia Dortmund v FC Porto
FC Augsburg v Liverpool
FC Midtjylland v Manchester United
FC Sion v Sporting Braga
Fenerbahce v Lokomotiv Moscow
Fiorentina v Tottenham
Galatasaray v Lazio
Marseille v Athletic Bilbao
Saint Etienne v Basel
Sevilla v Molde
Shakhtar Donetsk v Schalke
Sparta Prague v FC Krasnodar
Sporting Lisbon v Bayer Leverkusen
Valencia v Rapid Vienna
Villarreal v Napoli
Tough draw for Tottenham against Fiorentina the team that knocked them out last season.
Man Utd play Midtjylland from Denmark who beat Southampton in an earlier round.
Liverpool play German team Augsberg, currently 13th in the Bundesliga.

Premier Predictions (Week 16)
Week 16 and the only sure thing is that results are almost unpredictable, most years the top teams could be classed as dead certs but this season it is really open. Even Aston Villa got an away point last week :)
Games spread over 3 days.
6 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, and Mondays game is the table toppers against a side at the bottom desperately needing the points (just proving what a weird season we are having) :)
Norwich v Everton
C Palace v Southampton
Man City v Swansea
Sunderland v Watford
West Ham v Stoke
Bournemouth v Man Utd
Aston Villa v Arsenal
Liverpool v West Brom
Tottenham v Newcastle
Leicester v Chelsea
Good Luck All :)

Fantasy Football Update
Here are a few League tables to throw at you.
First the complete Predictions League table
Current NBTF Fantasy Football Tables (FPL and TFF)
Finally a bit of self promotion :)
Having over 20 TFF teams this season I have joined multiple Super Leagues (as you are allowed to join 3 leagues with each team).
Here are my current leagues, with league position, Total members, and my current position in those leagues.
