Guide to Weekend Fixtures
This will be a regular post updated weekly
SATURDAY
3pm unless stated:
Arsenal v Everton
Arsenal are on fire, not literally, as that would lead to a hefty insurance claim. They are starting to score for fun however and have conceded only four goals all season. A tough one for Andy Johnson who has now gone two games without a goal.
Prediction: 2-0
Bolton v Man Utd
United are the leading scorers in the Premiership with 19 but Bolton, like Arsenal, have conceded only four. Bolton could find themselves top of the Premiership by Saturday night but if they are, I'll eat a fez (after buying one first). Rooney must score soon.
Prediction: 0-1
Fulham v Wigan
You can believe this next sentence, honest. Heskey is in good form having scored three times and earned two KCs so far this season. Brian McBride has done similarly well but has probably fallen over less times.
Prediction: 1-2
Liverpool v Aston Villa
Incredibly, Liverpool's top scorer in the league is Dirk Kuyt with only two goals. This is because Benitez has taken the rotational system a tad too far now and is beginning to change his line-up every 18 minutes. Villa, despite impressing, hardly have a must-have striker up front either. Their leading goal scorer is Barry with three.
Prediction: Villa's unbeaten run to end, 2-0
Newcastle v Charlton (5.15pm)
By Christmas both of these managers could be missing from their club's annual party. Neither team has won for ages. Newcastle often score first but still don't win so don't get too excited if they take an early lead, even though they won't because this will end goalless.
Portsmouth v Reading
Pompey have kept six clean sheets this season, have a goalkeeper in-form and have the joint top scorer in the Premiership with Kanu hitting six. Reading, having just played the big two of Chelsea and Arsenal, now meet another team doing well and so will lose again. Their honeymoon period is over.
Prediction: 3-0
Sheffield Utd v Chelsea (12.45pm)
Chelsea have scored first in every game they've played so far this season. Given the make-up of their team, you'd expect them to score first, second, third, fourth and fifth in this match. But they won't because they are just a bit dull sometimes. United's best hope is for Warnock to lay one on Mourinho.
Prediction: 1-3
Watford v Tottenham
Tottenham are so hungry for success after a poor start to this season that one of their players actually started eating an opposition player last weekend. At least they have Lennon fit again, and he was back to his MOTM winning ways last week. Watford still haven't won a match and they won't do here either.
Prediction: 1-2
SUNDAY
West Ham v Blackburn (4pm)
I always find the day the clocks go back as one of the most depressing days of the year. All I need to get me by these days though is a good game of football. Shame then that the live match on Sunday is this. West Ham just don't score anymore so Benni McCarthy (above) will be the difference.
Prediction: 0-2
MONDAY
Man City v Middlesbrough (8pm)
Despite getting hammered at Wigan last week, City have kept four clean sheets this season although I can't actually remember any of them. Boro are, like butter, on a roll after winning their last two matches and "The Yak" has scored three in the last three matches.
Prediction: 0-2

Honeymoon is Over
The honeymoon is now definitely over after last night’s performance.
Forget Robbo, I think he was the best player on the pitch, he certainly kept England in the Game in the first half by making 2 great saves. First Goal maybe he could have done better from a corner he opted to punch away when he could have caught it and it never got cleared.
It kept coming into the box and then when the cross came over he was still going forward - if he were in the right position he would have picked the ball up easily.
The second just disguised the fact we were never going to score against Croatia and got everyone talking about a freak goal instead of the main reason why England played so badly.
Ok 3-5-2 was a waste of time; the boys mainly use 4-4-2 so they are not going to be great at this new formation, however here are a few more points I want to get of my chest
1) why is the fittest player in the England set-up not playing his football in England but in Germany (Hargreaves). Have they better methods than us?
2) We pick players who are not playing in their firstteam so why are they good for the England set-up (Wright-phillips and Richardson)
3) Gary Neville was doing a lot of crossing last night, he does not do this for club so why country.
4) Are you telling me that Beckham would not have delivered more for England last night then some of the midfield?
5) Terry was supposed to make the players more of a team with a strong Captaincy well where was it last night?
6) Rooney's form, how long does it continue without people realising that something has changed with him. I don’t know what, but he is not enjoying football like he use too when he first entered the game. People said pressure never gets to him, well we know now that he is just human after all and only should be called world class when he has done something.

The Ego has Landed
Michael Caverley with 'Creme De La Calverley II (Send Mellor Down)' is
at number 7 this week and manager of the week, He lacks confidence so
hopefully this will bring him out of his shell. Special mention goes to
Me with my Stella drinking clarets team which got 35 points and have
moved me up to 8th from 13th.
Me and Mike have a case of Stella on who will finish higher. With one
point in it it will go to the wire, unless Mike bottles it (bad joke but
You try and come up with jokes every week.)
Here's the top ten
1)Chapmans Choppers (week=31) Total=289

at number 7 this week and manager of the week, He lacks confidence so
hopefully this will bring him out of his shell. Special mention goes to
Me with my Stella drinking clarets team which got 35 points and have

point in it it will go to the wire, unless Mike bottles it (bad joke but
You try and come up with jokes every week.)
