Congratulations Dave 😃, unlucky Paul losing it in the last week mainly due to a Liverpool player.
My worst ever season in this, just couldn't do anything right 😢

Oh and last but not least, here's the updated Trophy pic for our Predictions Winner Biopunk ... Congratulations  😃

Premier Predictions (Week 38)

The final week :(
Biopunk can relax, Gibbo Paul and myself are after the runner up spot.

In the Premier league there is only one thing left to play for, if City turn up at Brighton that will be sorted. If Brighton perform a miracle Liverpool have to beat Wolves a team that have 6 wins against top 6 sides this season.
West ham need a win for a top 10 spot which is not too bad considering the start.

Brighton v Man City
Burnley v Arsenal
Crystal Palace v Bournemouth
Fulham v Newcastle
Leicester v Chelsea
Liverpool v Wolves
Man Utd v Cardiff
Southampton v Huddersfield
Tottenham v Everton
Watford v West Ham

+ Just for completion (not included in the scores for this week)
Man City v Watford (F.A Cup Final)

Good Luck All :)

Still the F.A Cup and 2 European finals as well as the Nations league finals to come, but as far as the predictions go we'll do it all again in 14 weeks :)

Dilemma

Wow!!!
Tottenham and Liverpool both coming back from 3 goals down to win.
Totally mixed emotions, the 2 teams I dislike the most for personal historical reasons have just given us 2 unbelievable games, and I cheered them both on ????
No idea who I'll go for in the final?

You've gotta love Football 😁

Hopefully Arsenal and Chelsea will make it a clean sweep for English teams tomorrow?

Premier Predictions (Week 37)

Just 2 weeks to go 😢
A lot of fixture changes this week due to Europe and TV money, starts Friday night then 5 games on Saturday from 12:30 to 19:45, 3 games Sunday and the City v Leicester game is now on Monday.

Cardiff have to win to have a chance of staying up and put some pressure on Brighton.
At the top Liverpool need to bounce back away at Newcastle after the Barcelona game, Man City face in form Leicester.
The other top 4 contenders? might grab some points this week (or maybe not?).

Everton v Burnley

Bournemouth v Tottenham
West Ham v Southampton
Wolves v Fulham
Cardiff v Crystal Palace
Newcastle v Liverpool

Chelsea v Watford
Huddersfield v Man Utd
Arsenal v Brighton

Man City v Leicester

Good Luck All 😃

Women's F.A Cup Final

Women's F.A Cup Final on Saturday, West Ham v Man City at Wembley 5:15.
The FA say they want to promote Women's football and what better way than having a massive crowd at Wembley on Saturday.

Both Man City and West Ham's mens teams were due to play on Saturday as well, so West Ham asked if their game against Southampton could be brought forward to 12:30 so that any Hammers fans who wanted to go to the Final could make it in time.
The F.A refused saying "that it would inconvenience fans" so was not possible. 😠
But after the European Quarter Finals Man City's game against Leicester is moved to Monday night, and Liverpool have to travel to Newcastle on Saturday night ... try telling Leicester and Liverpool fans that is not inconvenient!!

As far as Saturday's game goes it will need a miraculous performance and Man City have already beaten West Ham by 7-1 and 3-1 this season, but who knows??  
 😜

Premier Predictions (Week 36)

Fixtures coming thick and fast now.
This weeks start on Friday night with Liverpool's easiest game of the season, followed by 6 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.

Hopefully Tottenham will be thinking more about Europe and avoiding injury and following the recent trend of top 4 hopefuls by losing at home?
The last relegation place might be decided if Fulham keep up their mini revival and Brighton actually score a goal?
The new ambition of some clubs is to finish 7th? Watford v Wolves is the big game in that "battle" with Everton hoping to join in.
Sunday has Man City's toughest game on their run-in away to Burnley, and Man Utd v Chelsea looks like the battle for a 4th/5th place as Arsenal are doing their best to throw away 4th.

Liverpool v Huddersfield

Tottenham v West Ham
Crystal Palace v Everton
Fulham v Cardiff
Southampton v Bournemouth
Watford v Wolves
Brighton v Newcastle

Leicester v Arsenal
Burnley v Man City
Man Utd v Chelsea

Good Luck All 😃

Premier Predictions (Week 35)

Here we go with another mega week of 14 games over 5 days.
6 matches on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, 1 on Monday, 2 each on Tuesday and Wednesday.

If Liverpool and City win their games the lead will change 5 times in 8 days .... IF?
Man City and Tottenham go at it again Saturday lunchtime if they've got anything left after last night's amazing game.
On Sunday Cardiff might give Liverpool a game as they still have an outside chance of staying up?
Brighton have 2 tough away games and on recent form they will lose badly.
Wednesday night is the Manc derby which looks like City's toughest game on the run in, but would United fans be upset if they lost?? 😉
The 3rd to 6th place teams still have plenty to play for.

In the competition with just 4 weeks left and a Biopunk win would just about wrap it up, but none of us are out of it yet.

Man City v Tottenham
Bournemouth v Fulham
Huddersfield v Watford
West Ham v Leicester
Wolves v Brighton
Newcastle v Southampton

Everton v Man Utd
Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Cardiff v Liverpool

Chelsea v Burnley

Tottenham v Brighton
Watford v Southampton

Wolves v Arsenal
Man Utd v Man City

Good Luck All  😃

Premier Predictions (Week 34)

5 weeks left Bio in the driving seat, Paul and myself could put the pressure on and Gibbo and Paulo now really need to win the last 5 on the trot?
Another of those elongated weeks with 11 games over 5 days.
Friday start again at Leicester, 6 games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday, 1 Monday and the bonus game on Tuesday which depending on Saturday's scores might be a relegation 6 pointer.
The 2 big games will be on Sunday where City go to Palace who beat them earlier in the season, needing a win to put the pressure on Liverpool who play their bogey team Chelsea later.

Leicester v Newcastle

Tottenham v Huddersfield
Brighton v Bournemouth
Burnley v Cardiff
Fulham v Everton
Southampton v Wolves
Man Utd v West Ham

Crystal Palace v Man City
Liverpool v Chelsea

Watford v Arsenal

Brighton v Cardiff

90 Minute scores in the Cup ties please.

7 games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday including the big game of the week at Anfield, 1 on Monday, then the re-arranged games with 2 on Tuesday and 3 on Wednesday.

Chances are the top 2 will change places 4 times in the next 7 days?

Time for another double bill of Premier League action.

Week 27
Kicks off on Friday night for some reason? 2 games Friday, 4 Games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday plus a bonus game of the League Cup Final between City and Chelsea (wonder if Chelsea can keep it below 6?).

Newcastle v Burnley

Arsenal v Bournemouth
Southampton v Fulham
Chelsea v Tottenham
Crystal Palace v Man Utd
Liverpool v Watford

Good Luck All  😃

QPR v Watford
Brighton v Derby
Wimbledon v Millwall
Newport v Man City

Gordon Banks

Really sad news that one of the true legends of Football died today 😢
Gordon Banks was 81 years old.

England's keeper in the 1966 win, and but for a mystery stomach bug before the Quarter final against West Germany in 1970  might have been a two time winner?
He had a long career with Leicester and then Stoke. I think I saw him in the flesh at least once but can't remember what the result was?


Everyone is going on about that save from Pele in the 1970 World Cup, but the one that I remember most is the save from Geoff Hurst's penalty in 1972 League Cup Semi Final which stopped us making the Final that season 😭

Premier Predictions (Week 26)

7 Games on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and one on Monday.
The top 3 are all at home to teams that have been totally unpredictable recently, so shocks may be on the cards again this week?
West Ham go to Palace where they had 3 straight wins until last years draw when Palace scored in the 7th minute of the 5 minutes injury time :(

Fulham v Man Utd
Crystal Palace v West Ham
Huddersfield v Arsenal
Liverpool v Bournemouth
Southampton v Cardiff
Watford v Everton
Brighton v Burnley
Tottenham v Leicester
Man City v Chelsea
Wolves v Newcastle

Good Luck All :)

Premier Predictions (Week 25)

11 games this week.
7 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday, 1 Monday and a bonus re-arranged game on Wednesday.

Could be a big week at the top, Man City have a tough game against Arsenal, but really need a win.
West Ham surely can't collapse for a 3rd game on the trot? playing Liverpool not ideal but a win in this one will give us a reason to forget the last week.
On Wednesday Man City play Everton which is pulled forward from League Cup Final weekend.

Tottenham v Newcastle
Brighton v Watford
Burnley v Southampton
Chelsea v Huddersfield
Crystal Palace v Fulham
Everton v Wolves
Cardiff v Bournemouth

Leicester v Man Utd
Man City v Arsenal
