English Premiership predictions

After my absolute debacle in the English Premiership last weekend I am going to have to try and redeem myself.

Let's see if this week brings a bit better luck.

Saturday fixtures:

  • Arsenal vs. Tottenham - Arsenal to win 2-0 or 2-1
  • Bolton vs. Chelsea - Chelsea to win 3-0
  • Burnley vs. Hull - Hull to win 1-0
  • Everton vs. Aston Villa - Draw 1-1 or 2-1 to Villa
  • Fulham vs. Liverpool - Liverpool to win 2-1 or 3-1
  • Portsmouth vs. Wigan - Portsmouth to win 1-0
  • Stoke vs. Wolves - Stoke to win 2-1
  • Sunderland vs. West Ham - West Ham to win 1-0
  • Manchester United vs. Blackburn - Man Utd to win 3-0
  • Birmingham vs. Man City - Draw

SA soccer - weekend predictions

The big South African soccer for the weekend is the derby clash between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs. I have put 2-0 down on a win for Chiefs and money down on Kaizer Motaung Jnr. as the first goal-scorer.

I think it is important that the South African football gets a bit of coverage and airtime and it was good to see the Friday papers talking up the super sports weekend ahead of us.

My predictions:
  • Orlando Pirates vs. Kaizer Chiefs - Chiefs to win 2-0
  • Maritzburg Utd vs. Free State Stars - Draw
  • Platinum Stars vs. Swallows - Draw
  • Wits vs. Supersport United - Supersport to win 2-1
  • Sundowns vs. Cosmos - Sundowns to win 2-0
  • Amazulu vs. Santos - Santos to win
  • Bloem Celtic vs. Black Aces - Celtic to win
  • Ajax CT vs Arrows - Ajax to win.

Apologies to Liverpool fans

Well apart from having a really kak weekend and getting absolutely nothing I have to apologise for writing off Liverpool.

Nice to see them bouncing back and denting the Manchester United aura a little!

Weekend Premiership selections

Lots of fun and games in the Premiership again this week and the big United vs. Liverpool clash is promising to be a cracker.

One gets the sense if Liverpool drop points here their championship bid could be seriously dented.

I am probably going to raise the ire of the Manchester City and Liverpool fans but calling it as I see it....

Below are my predictions for the Premiership for Saturday and Sunday:

Saturday fixtures

Wolves vs. Aston Villa - Villa to win 1-0 or 2-0 (and money on James Milner as the first goal-scorer)
Birmingham vs. Sunderland - 1-0 Birmingham
Burnley vs Wigan - 0-0
Hull vs Portsmouth - Hull to win 1-0 or 2-0
Tottenham vs Stoke - Tottenham win 1-0 or 2-0
Chelsea vs. Blackburn - Chelsea to win 3-0 or 4-0

Sunday fixtures
Bolton vs. Everton - Everton to win 1-0
Liverpool vs Man Utd - Man Utd to win 2-0 or 3-0 or 3-1
Man City vs Fulham - Either 1-1 draw or 0-1 to Fulham
West Ham vs Arsenal - 2-0 win for Arsenal
