Week 23: Preview

With the FA filling up this weekends fixtures we have to wait till tuesday for some premier league action. Aston Villa Pompy is probably the pick of tuesdays fixtures. Villa have been on a good run of results recently but not been playing great. They are without the genius of ashley young due to suspension. Fear not villa fans, emile heskey is now on your books (very strange signing). 2-1 Villa. Fulham travel to Sbragia's Sunderland where the honeymoon is most certainly over. Could go either way 2-1 Sunderland. Spurs face stoke in a relegation thriller that will finish 1-0 if we are lucky, spurs are only worth watching in the cup. 1-0 Spurs. Finally the injury hit man u travel to west brom in a top verses bottom clash. Wouldn't be surprised if united lose their clean sheet record to west brom. 2-1 man u.

Thankfully wednesday brings us a few more interesting matches. Everton host Arsenal and have the opportunity to go within two points of the 5th place gunners. Entirely possible if the can keep van Persie quiet. 0-0. The unsteady liverpool visit the ever steady wigan in would could be another upset for Rafa. 1-1. Chelsea host the woeful boro, who are my new hot tip for going down. 2-0 chelsea. City face newcastle and even without kaka (or any other brazilians) should come out on top. 2-1 city. West ham Hull could see the end of hull's run in the top half. 2-1 west ham. Finally we have blackburn bolton and another big sam reunion. Couldn't care less sorry. 

RE: Football Weekly

As a regular listen to the guardian's football weekly (and football weekly extra) podcasts I've started to read the comments on the blog. The matter of Sir Alex and his mind games came up in the pod and in the comments. To say the least I disagreed with some of the opinions. Here is my take. It's my own little Keegan/Rafa style outburst. Hoping to get back to business as usual with a preview of next weeks action on friday.
