Premier League matches 30/1/10

For the first week in ages, we kind of expected the results that came.

Burnley 1-2 Chelsea

The Chelsea win was, I think almost guarenteed. I was interested in how Burnley played. I thought that the game would finish with no Burnley goals scored. But, Burnley can be rather good at home, as shown when they played Man. U here during the beginning of the season period, this is the SECOND time that Burnley have lost at home in the league. It was also good to see JT(John Terry) get a goal amidst all the bad publicity. Good job Chelsea.


Birmingham 1-1 Tottenham

I was fortunate enough to see the first half of this game. From the beginning shots were being fired in on both sides of the pitch. But a combination of good saves and crap shooting, ensured that the first half stayed goalless. However, I continously believed, during the first half, that there would be goals. Luckily I was right. With the quality of play that Birmingham are showing, they could easily be in Europe next season. They will fight the other teams all the way.

Liverpool 2-0 Bolton

This was a good result for the Merseysiders.This will get Liverpool on to their feet again. But, I'm still not convinced that Liverpool will grab that last champions league spot. They played against a crap team like Bolton, at home and they won. Even Fulham can do that. This was an obvious 2-0 win. But, it won't last forever.

Fulham 0-2 Aston Villa
I said Fulham could beat a crap team at home. Aston Villa, are a team that are chasing Europe. Aston Villa have also been doing great in the premier league, they drew with Arsenal at home in mid-week. Fulham, struggled against Accrington in mid-week, and lost in their London derby away to Tottenham. This was a deserved win for Aston Villa.

Hull 2-2 Wolves
Both these two teams have been doing rather average lately. I expected Hull to win by one goal. But Wolves drew with Liverpool recently, so Wolves got a good mid-week result. A draw was therefore coming around the corner.
West Ham 0-0 Blackburn
West Ham's season, hasn't been the best up until now. However, they are finally getting back on their feet. This might not have been the best of results for West Ham, but there will be some good form coming out of West Ham in the next few games. West Ham could be the new Birmingham.

Wigan 0-1 Everton
Wigan have been a little bit shakey lately with their mid-week loss to Blackburn and their draw with Notts County last week. Everton, other than their loss against Birmingham last week, have been doing rather well. Result.............................................. a win for Everton. Case dissmissed.

Tommorow some top teams are playing. Here are my predictions.

Arsenal 1-1 Man. U
Man. C 3-1 Portsmouth

Will I be right?
