Good morning.
The second wave of the weekend’s Premier League pickings. Yesterday’s hunches were a mixed bag accuracy wise. Laudrup’s remark about bungs to encourage teams to win matches was clearly a cry for help. I was closer on the Cheatski game who struggled, dived and dived again to nick a goal against the Potters.
I was pleased to see Southampton get back on the their feet. Villa fans will spend today on the settee eating ice cream, watching Bridget Jones’ DVDs. The Baggies ground out a goal in what looked like an uninspiring business from the bits I caught. I got the West Ham game wrong and the Fulham win panned out.
Liverpool vs Manchester United
Whiners vs Gloaters. Brendan Rodgers is looking for his first Premier League win. He’d be better off putting a ‘Missing – Have You Seen My…’ card in his local newsagent’s window than asking Sluralix for it. I don’t like either of these two, a nil nil draw would be the best outcome for the table but I’d like Liverpool to get beaten. Prediction? Away win by two goals.
Newcastle vs Norwich
Tough gig this for the Canaries. I’ve a soft spot for Delia’s mob, their fans are a decent bunch and they will travel in number, brightening up Tyneside with their old school scarves and crazy vowels. Pardew’s gang will quite possibly destroy them. A home win, maybe 3 0r 4 nil.
Manchester City vs Arsenal
City’s performance against Real Madrid was seriously uninspiring stuff. They remind me of that army of brooms marching in Fantasia. You raise your eyebrows, but it’s not enjoyable viewing. Arsenal’s form isn’t as rock solid as they might have you believe. So far they have beaten Liverpool and a self-combusting Southampton.Home win, 3-1.
Tottenham vs QPR
The longer the wait for kick off has gone on the more cautiously optimistic I am becoming. My ‘win by a goal’ mantra is edging out into thoughts of a cheeky 2-0. Could we get three? I really have a good vibe about Dempsey and whatever happens it would be great to see him get on the score sheet.
7-1 and with that my eldest daughter will be apply named ‘AVB’, my youngest daughter named ‘AVB AVB and my wife named’ ‘Arry’ … :whistle:;
looking forward to the game. They have a decent side now. We need an early goal then we will beat em 3 nil
My own hunch is if we score in first 25 mins, we’ll go on to get 3. If not, then I predict a similar result and frustrations to our previous home games. Here’s to an early goal! COYS!
bubbleobill and Patrese76 sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G …. :daumen:
Like you Harry I possess an oracle embedded somewhere in my brain. However I feel your level of optimism is blurring your tea leaves.
QPR are also building a team and will need settling in time like us. Unlike us they are racked with injuries for this game.
It will be more difficult in the rain, scrappy, QPR will be defensive. Mark Hughes a willy character and has got results at the lane before.
All things in consideration and my muttering oracle tells me either:
A: Home win by 2 or 3 goals
B: Score Draw 1-1 or 2-2
Lay your bets…………..
I’ll have large Earl Grey, hold the milk; easy on the lime juice.
Ballbags here. Get the beers(or white wine tabasco shots if your amish) in lads because today is gonna be a cracker. Strap on tight here’s my predictions. They don’t call me mystic ballbag for nothing you know.
Liverpool 2 Manchester utd 1
Newcastle 2 Norwich 0
Man city 7 Arsenal 0
Tottenham 4 QPR 1
Im off to feed the squirrels in the alley way but I will be back later to bask in the glory of this blog. Kind regards Balls.
:-D
Wotcha Ballbags. Have you met The Eyeballer? I think the two of you would get on.
