This Weeks Predictions
There are the picks. LJ has picked Liverpool correctly about 90% of the time so if you don’t have 2-0 you’re going to get that one wrong.
This Weeks Comments
AM: ” And you think YOU got problems John boy!?. “
Yes, I’m surviving by looking down at the few below me but I keep falling and falling. And as bad as United are, they’re no Watford!
ME:” Spuds are at home again and the special chosen one should inspire another win. I wonder how long I will be able to use this …”
I think the “Chosen One” was David Moyes. Jose was always just the self-proclaimed “Special One”. Did he inspire the last win?
ME: “Hoping Watford will get a point this week from Southampton… they both had an awesome number of shots against Arsenal and only managed a draw!!! Against each other could be the most exciting game of the week or the dullest on record.”
Neither can score but both can leak a bucketful of goals. I think you’re right – I expect Ben Foster to make 10 spectacular saves and then let a backpass through his legs. One of those years!
AA: ” I am enjoying this, despite my relegation form “
It’s pointless if you’re not! I don’t actually mind coming last and I can confidently say that because I’m not last yet.
Appreciate all the comments!
This Weeks Analysis
I realize that this would be more helpful before the picks are due so you know what not to pick but i started yesterday so I thought I’d finish
Burnley vs Crystal Palace 2-0
Burnley were outplayed by Watford for 45 minutes but then came out and won 3-0.
Crystal Palace usually try and win penalties by falling over.
Here Zaha in training
Chelsea vs West Ham 2-0
Fat frank has his team playing well and scoring goals. Old Man Pellegrini is trying to become the next London manager to leave. Looks like there’s a PLEXIT going on in North London.
Leicester vs Everton 2-1
Mrs Vardy is in the news even more than Jamie these days but did you know he was the top scorer? In the meantime, Watford fans everywhere are enjoying Silva being near the bottom of the table. Unfortunately, still higher than Watford.
Liverpool vs Brighton 2-1
Everyone should have something to be thankful for this year. Liverpool should be thankful that everyone keeps rolling over for them – final minutes eff ups by goalkeepers, final minute refereeing, with a few easy wins thrown in.
It’s looking like maybe an end to the drought because Citeh are struggling, Leicester aren’t there, and Chelsea aren’t ready this year. I wasn’t even going to mention Manchester United which says how far they have fallen*.
Waiting.
Newcastle vs Man City 1-3
Citeh shouldn’t have any trouble but they’ve lost Aguero and their Jesus is in no way a saviour.
But they do have Prince Harry DeBruyne!
Southampton vs Watford 1-1
My head says Watford have no chance and my head says Southampton have no chance.
My ornament has no head:
Spurs vs Bournemouth 2-1
Mourinho surprised us all last week by taking the Spuds job. It’s no surprise to all of us that he’s looking jealously over to the other side of London where there is a new opening.
Most unsurprising press question: “Jose. Would you have taken this job if you knew Arsenal were looking”
Most realistic answer: “Arsenal aren’t interested in a has been … they just got rid of one”
Wolves vs Sheffield Utd 2-1
The wanderers were struggling at the bottom of the table and people were wondering what was happening.
Now there in the top half with the Blades.
Home team advantage.
Man Utd vs Aston Villa 2-0
Old Trafford isn’t a fortress but then the Villains sound more like an invading force than they actually are.
Norwich vs Arsenal 1-3
New Manager bump this week and Norwich are bottom dwellers. JE calls them flat track bullies and you don’t get much flatter than Norwich!
This week an underwear model.
Next week Arteta? Or someone else?
*I didn’t mention Arsenal or Spurs!
