Hotspur’s Hunches #13

Good morning and welcome to the only online betting guide brought to you in association with Alcoholics Anonymous and Assisted Deaths (Enfield) Ltd. If this service was a noise, it would be that bugle blast that Ryan play everytime their planes land on time. Irritating and having no guarantee of accuracy about it.

Sunderland meet West Brom. For those of you trying to adjust your Premier League tables do not bother. The Baggies are indeed 3rd. Their away form isn’t good, however Sunderland don’t have any form worth discussing home or away. In the interests of football I’d like to see Steve Clarke put Martin O’Neil to the sword here but the threat of a tedious draw has to be the favourite. Prediction 0-2

Everton vs Norwich could potentially be a beyond dull game. Everton been playing what a 1950’s football commentator would call ‘some very spirited’ football this term but they seem to get bogged down against lesser sides. Hughts will be travelling knowing that a draw wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I think the King Of The Clipboard may just manage to stifle David Moyes. Prediction: 1-1

Manchester United take on QPR and this has got to be a fascinating fixture from a number of perspectives. If QPR get anything here then Mark Hughes’ dead duck of a managerial career will be well and truly cremated for all time. Arry Redschnapps the world’s leading Crisis Manager is a fox and looks not take charge until full time at the earliest. Prediction: 6-0

Stoke play Fulham and Wigan entertain Reading. If anyone watching either of these games is entertained I’ll be amazed. Predictions: 1-1 across the board.

Aston Villa face Arsenal and I can’t understand why Lambert who has so far sailed the good ship Villa into the relegation won’t play Bent. I’m no Bent fan, but desperate times call for desperate measures and right now the Brummies could do with a shin in or two. So this will either be a scrappy draw or a route, largely dependent upon what frame of mind the Gunners are in when they get off the coach. Prediction 1-4

Swansea vs Liverpool Another opportunity for Brendon Rodgers to drone on and on about respect, tradition, the fans …please shoot me now. I hope Swansea smash them. Prediction 1-1.

Southampton are at home to Newcastle and it’s looking like a long old season for Nigel Adkins. On the up side, the likelihood of him getting the bullet is very small. There’s no money and a team that have sadly been promoted beyond themselves. Pardew will be looking to cash in but Toon’s form is nothing to coo over. It’s a long coach ride back to Geordieland with anything less than 3 points. Prediction a coupon busting 2-1

Chelsea vs Man City and the generously proportioned waiter of Spanish decent will need a win or his own fans will tear him apart. Nice crowd. Family people. If your surname is Manson. The sad thing is I can see Chelsea wining this. The blue racists will as ever be wanting to show the world that the players call the shots and justify the bad mouthing that cost Bob Matthews his job. Prediction 3-1.

Tottingham and West Ham then. The hysteria from those who want AVB binned will reach a pitch that only dogs can hear if we don’t win this. A draw is unacceptable. To hell with having players. ‘Just get on with it and win, Mr Bean!’ God I’m sick of listening to the opinions of stupid people. If we don’t win I may make the next blog about this week’s Strictly Come Dancing. Prediction 2-1.

  • Astro Spur says:

    Well at least Ade is staying positive :shifty: :-| :-(

  • melcyid says:

    we’ll give you 3 million quid to take over,yOU can start against the mancs on saturday, Arry sorry cant make it this saturday but I can start Sunday If thats all right.
    Inspiring start eh , covering his derriere already :shocked2:

    • Phil McAvity says:

      No different from most other managers who take over just before match day, they always watch the first game from the stands.

      • ELELEL says:

        Seem to remember Redknapp getting straight into the thick of it when he took over us, with a home game against Bolton!

      • ELELEL says:

        Though if they manage to get something today, I bet Redknapp will be gutted he didn’t get stuck in. Probably still take the credit anyway though.

        • ELELEL says:

          On cue, they just scored, I’m expecting Saggy to make his way to the dug out and start conducting any minute.

        • Essexian76 says:

          Strange that when Harry’s actually in charge of a team at OT they’re beaten before a balls kicked-but i bet a pound to a penny he’ll take all the plaudits if this comes off?

        • ELELEL says:

          Think he’s sitting more comfortably now. Shrewd move. Twitch and shake head and talk of miracles needed and tough work ahead.

  • david says:

    Half time and you have the right score for Sunderland v WBA.

    I noticed LLL/ ELELEL getting very worried yesterday regarding your lack of posts.

    Watch out, could be a stalker. Play misty for me.

  • ELELEL says:

    Eh? What? Did I miss something? Is your new tactic not to blog about Spurs at all so as to avoid potentially awkward revelations?

    • Harry Hotspur says:

      The tactic was being busy my old son. Doing good works.

      If you are sore that I didn’t wheel out a blog about a 0-0 draw that was a dull watch in order for you whoop and holler about the end being nigh I can only humbly apologise.

      If however you wish me to produce a blog specifically for you about a 0-0 draw that was a dull watch in order for you whoop and holler about the end being nigh I am happy to do so.

      I think £1000 is fair compensation.

      Let me know.

      • ELELEL says:

        I would quite like that, thanks for the kind offer. Although I think your valuation is somewhat optimistic. I’m forwarding you a 1983 vintage Razzle I found in a bush. The hardened white dog turd remains attached to the front cover. I assume that this will suffice and look forward to receiving your excuse-packed, buck-passing lightweight analysis in the near future.
