Premiership Weekend Thread - Back In Business

cson

The Premiership is back in business after a 2 week hiatus

After the international break brought us the delights of yet another victory thrown away by our beloved national team and the perverse pleasure of English failure the Premiership is back again this weekend!

Saturday, 24 November 2007
Arsenal v Wigan, 15:00 Draw
Birmingham v Portsmouth, 15:00 Pompey
Bolton v Man Utd, 15:00 ManYoo
Derby v Chelsea, 17:15 Chelski
Everton v Sunderland, 15:00 Everton
Man City v Reading, 15:00 Citeh
Middlesbrough v Aston Villa, 15:00 Viller
Newcastle v Liverpool, 12:45 Pool

Fulham v Blackburn, 16:00 Blackburn
West Ham v Tottenham, 13:30 Tiny Tots

I'm predicting a shock draw against Wigan for Arsenal. The international break has not been kind, claiming Hleb, Flamini, Diaby and Gilberto along with a banned Fabregas and a still slightly injured RVP. Man Utd should easily account for Bolton, I'm gonna go for a boring 4-0 victory. Repeat what I've just wrote except sub in Chelsea for Man Utd and Derby for Bolton. Elsewhere Everton, Citeh, Pompey and Villa are good value for wins. I think Pool will chalk up a cagey 1-0/2-1 win over Newky.

As an aside; for the betting man amongst us;
Arsenal 1/7
Man Utd 1/2
Chelsea 2/7
>The treble works out ~Evens and going by the formbook, thats practically free money.

Pompey 11/8
Everton 8/13
Man City 8/13
Liverpool 1/1
Spurs 6/4

> My advice: Pick two out of each group and stick them in a lucky 15. My choices would be Man Utd+Chelsea+Pompey+City, €15 returns €51.

I'll go along with your shock draw at the Emirates. I also fancy the Newcastle/Pool match to be a high scoring draw and the best game of the weekend. Man Utd to thrash Bolton, ditto Chelsea with Derby. Sunderland to sneak a late winner at Goodison. Spurs and West Ham to be a cracking match.

God knows what odds I'd get there.

Mr.Nice Guy

You guys really think Wigan can avoid defeat? Arsenal will humble Wigan (of course if I'm wrong I'll gladly eat humble pie! )

Btw that Arsenal-Utd-Chelsea treble with paddypower returns 2.1888, nearly a 1/5 better than evens. Ladbrokes usually have special offers though on the day.

cson

1.2 to be exact. A €25 treble returns €55.10

BrandonBlock

Where you getting that 1.2 from? €25 * 1.2 = €30

I'm using decimal odds.
So €100 staked @ 2.1888 returns €218.88

cson

Yeah I know 1.2 X €25 = €30 but most bookies I know of also give you your stake back, hence €30 + €25 = €55 which is what I posted above.

I bolded the Free money part, considering you think Arsenal will only draw

mike65

I'm wary, the top 6 should all win but first the post-international game is always harder to read, the minows have most fresh players and no mental baggage.

I'll predict a Newcastle/Liverpool draw with narrow wins for City, Arsenal.

Yes, but you forgot to bolden the "going by the formbook" part didn't you?

New manager for Wigan, and Arsenal are missing van Persie, Fabregas, Hleb, Gilberto, Flamini and Diaby. It isn't outside the realms of possibility.

Dont be at yourself

With all those missing, what's the Arsenal midfield going to look like? Any youngsters getting a run out?

Pepe LeFrits

Rosicky - Denilson - Diarra - Walcott/Eboue

Smegball

Anybody thinking Wigan getting a draw at Arsenal are quite frankly a bit mental lol.

Could happen, theres a full midfield decimated courtesy of the internationals there. It will definitely be a lot closer than people think.

Edit: Pool have kicked off with surprise surprise, no Crouch. Did he bang Benitez wife or what?

Chardee MacDennis

fantastic goal from gerrard, 0-1

mike65

Are Newkie fans practising their booing for Sam at full time or what?

Mike.

quazzy

Torres just missed an open goal - Hit the post

bennyx_o

Newcastle very lucky there, don't think it was hand ball by Given, looked more like his shoulder

cson

My word, comical defending by Newcastle.

Guy:Incognito

Given gets away with handball outside the box then Torres hits the post with an opener from abotu 20 yards.

Smegball

How poor have Newcastle been so far, can barely string together a few passes, the shape of the team is all wrong.

Chardee MacDennis

newcastle don;t know how to defend. 0-2 kuyt

Unearthly

Worst defending ever

2-0 Pool

easy game

mike65

Hyypia assit for Kuyt! Shocker!

Mike.

Sizzler

What a goal by Kuyt, what a player :rolleyes:

EDIT: Geordies are a VERY poor team.

cson

2-0 Kuyt. Didn't know much about it. Game over.

mike65

Big Sam For England chant the fans.

Ryan Babel wraps it up.

Mike.

Jesus even when he scores people moan. Leave him alone.

I missed the first 40 mins but the 25 since he's been doing really well. Battled to get th eball back to set up Torres for the one he hit the post with. Was around being a nuisance for the Torres shot just after Kuyt scored and his passing has been good. Cant ask for much more than that.

Unearthly

Decent move there

quazzy

3-0 Babel.

Great team goal

Guy:Incognito

3-0 Babel. great play from Liverpool

Me thinks his Newcastle career won't last much longer so he might be "asked" to consider applying

Royale with Cheese

Have seen Torres play like this before, in a Madrid derby a good few years ago. Missed about 10 chances that night. I think Atletico dicked on Real, but Real ended up winning 3-0

Guy:Incognito

Torres is getting all his sitter missing for the season out of the way today.

shotamoose

LOL Torres you donkey.

Unearthly

I wouldn't be surprised if Big Sam was next manager to get the axe. Performance is a disgrace. He seems to of lost the crowd to.

Sizzler

Seriously lads is Big Sam off his box? "Im ruling myself out of the england role" I mean WTF :eek:

mike65

Job done.

Mike.

Sizzler

^^ Practice match

fish fingers

barcodes were brutal today

mike65

Crap or not, they nearly beat Sunderland last time out.

Mike.

KdjaCL

"Big sam for england"

Only seen last 30, did newcastle have any shots?

Barton Butt and Smith were nonexistant.



kdjac

mike65

Smith got MOTM

Mike.

Chardee MacDennis

from newcastle. gerrard got the official man of the match
