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.
Love the no thanks prediction, Harry, brilliant. I’d be delighted but surprised at 4-0. And can’t help thinking Spurs window has been about clever, value for money signings, but that we needed another quality back-to-goal striker and a deep lying playmaker, but we’ve missed Moutinho and are left with strange looking squad bloated with midfielders but no specialist cover for Ade, BAE, Lennon and no great cover for Bale (Townsend?). Does not look like a top 2/3 squad, which was the next step from last season, not top 5. Hope I’m wrong, oh so wrong.
The Chavs and Citeh along with ManU are 1-2-3 in no particular order. The two blue teams have owners with longer arms and much deeper pockets so we can only dream. ManU are, well, ManU. Our place at the moment is to fight out 4th with Arse and the bin dippers
They are as thin if not worse than us, so it’s all to play for if AVB can get the side clicking asap
Word
Im going for 3-0 win today Moutinho debut goal and Damiao Brace
:freu , many “spurs fans” will be hoping we lose 3 nil, just so they can support us having a bad season, cretins, i guess that their mother never told them not to anything unless its nice, in between blowing sailors and hitting the crack pipe
say*
dont knock the crack pipe.
in reply to Rich 1217pm:
with 3 beautifully crafted assists from the wonderfully talented Wilian, watched on from the bucket-seat heated subs bench of Madrid by that Lil’ Luka Modcon!
I hope for the Rat’s sake those RM bench seats are very comfy
This looks like an Al Qaeda hostage video…

Substitute the red for orange and you have Guantanamo……..
I love the irony Rich :D
Adam – Jenas and Bentley for that only survived chop because nobody will pay half a bag of potatoes for either of them.
Lets forget Jan window FFS and get behind the boys that have chosen the mighty Spurs.
Looking forward to seeing Dembele today and a good win, Verts looks the business aswell – COYS
Nobody will pay half a bag of potatoes for them? Fine, take a couple of turnips then. Honestly, it might be better for all concerned if we were just to pay off their contracts and set them free into the big wide world.
