Hostpur’s Hunches #3

Righty ho. Gameweek 3 of the Barclays Premier League and these are my thoughts on their possible outcomes.

West Ham vs Fulham

Lots of talk about Andy Carroll here of course. Carlton Cole, a man who has been pursued relentlessly by the Trades Description people for having ‘striker’ under occupation on his passport will now play second fiddle to the country’s second most expensive footballer. Mmmn. Hooftastic. Fulham have been what you might dare to call ‘free scoring’ under Martin Jol despite the absence of Dempsey. Prediction? 1-3.

Swansea vs Sunderland

So much for second season syndrome. I’ve a theory that Brendan Rodgers is actually rubbish and that the BinDippers, not for the first time in recent years bought a lemon. Laudrup comes across as an intelligent guy, but moreover his team are so far anyway, doing the business. The emphatic win at Loftus Road told me plenty and dull, dull Sunderland will have it all to do here. Prediction? 3-1.

Tottingham vs Norwich

Two games in. A loss and a draw. Win-less. Nobody gives a damn about how we look it’s all about getting Andrè Villas-Boas’ head on a spike as swiftly as possible. Getting rid of Harry was stupid, Levy’s only in it for the money and we’re all going to hell in handcart. Oh sorry, I wrote that after drinking three pints of battery acid.

If Spurs don’t win this by a distance then I’ll be more than surprised. But unlike some I will fall asleep in my pram after the game knowing all my toys are still within easy reach. Prediction? 4-0.

West Brom vs Everton

This unlike most times these two play each other will actually be significant and perhaps interesting game to watch. Everton have looked ‘brand new’ so far and Steve Clarke appears to have a the Boing Boing boys organised to within an inch of their lives. Prediction? 2-2

Wigan vs Stoke

No thanks.

Man City vs QPR

This could potentially get very messy. Mind you, I said that about the Liverpool vs City game last week and Mancini’s mob didn’t get ruthless. Mark Hughes has signed every Tom, Dick and Harrihno this side of Peking. Lots of ingredients but can he whip up anything decent with them? There are too many echoes of Roy Keane at Sunderland here for me when it comes to Hughes. Lots  of ‘I’m surrounded by idiots’ expressions on his face, but little football orientated to get get excited about.Prediction? 5-0.

    Please come back Harry. You can hang out the car window as much as you want, sign a few old players if you want, talk about anything you want. Just come back!

        • MysteriousStranger says:

          You’re telling me to fuck off? Grow the fuck up child and stop throwing your toys out of your pram.

        • oxfordyid says:

        • MysteriousStranger says:

          Who the fuck are you? The same twat who writes drivel on Vital? Pretty sure I piss all over you knowledge wise, compared to you with your pathetic, childish kneejerk reactions.

          It’s been 3 games you cocksmoker.

  • Psiber says:

    I don’t remember a single gme last season where I was so bored watching us. Even when Arry was screwing up we looked interested. Tactics aside there is definitely a lack of spirit which, for all Arrys failings, didn’t happen last season. My knee is starting to jerk!

  • oxfordyid says:

    just had a text from a friend who son plays for spurs apparently there was a lot of unrest in the changing room after the match and a lot of mud slinging things are not good at the lane , its taken three games to dissmantle the team spirit and beleive that redknapp built up over the years . shocking

      I always fear this with a young unproven manager. We shall see. Perhaps we are the learning curve. But I tell you two wins on a trot and Man U will fear us at home.

  • Gim says:

    New manager
    New squad
    New system

    The players dont know each other, and some are still unfit.

    Give it time!

  • DesertSpur says:

    I feel that the lack of a Modric replacement is going to bite us hard – why couldn’t we just give Moutinho what he wanted? Oh and also buy a c*%&ing striker….Levy should have backed his verbal support for AVB with the money – didn’t we end the window breaking even/making profit? Def don’t think we had a loss.
    Until AVB has a few games with a settled squad, I won’t be making too many judgements though
