League matches 24/3/10

A night of exciting action sent one team through to Wembley to face Portsmouth.

In the FA cup replay
Tottenham 3-1 Fulham
This was always going to happen. Tottenham are a much better side than Fulham. At home, Tottenham are a very difficult side to beat. Fulham cannot even dream about trying to beat Fulham at White Hart Lane. Which means that the two FA cup semi-finals include...Chelsea vs Aston Villa and Tottenham vs Portsmouth.

In the Premier League
Aston Villa 1-1 Sunderland
Really. I cannot believe that Sunderland can draw with Aston Villa at Villa Park. I think that maybe, Sunderland are getting some good results together. This might be one of those good streaks. Anyhow, Aston Villa need points in their pursuit of the last Champions League spot. Come on Aston Villa

Blackburn 2-1 Birmingham
Blackburn are another one of those teams that are doing equally well and are on great form. A win against Birmingham was expected. Birmingham need points if they want to qualify for the Europa League. Come on Birmingham, you can do better.

Man. City 0-2 Everton
I didn't see this coming. You'd think that a team that can beat Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge, can beat Everton at home, even Chelsea at least drew. This is great for Everton, but not for Man. City whose Champions League hopes are now in trouble. Well done Everton, for acheiving something that Chelsea or Liverpool couldn't achieve.

Portsmouth 0-5 Chelsea
WOW! I expected a win, but not by five goals. Chelsea who looked down and out of the title race after the draw at Blackburn have shown that they're still capable of getting good results when it counts. Portsmouth who travel to Tottenham this weekend are almost ceartainly going to be relegated.

Predictions for weekend matches include...

Birmingham 1-1 Arsenal
Bolton 1-3 Man. United
Chelsea 2-1 Aston Villa
Hull 1-2 Fulham
Tottenham 3-0 Portsmouth
West Ham 1-0 Stoke
Wolves 2-3 Everton

Bye 'till then.

Premier League match 24/3/10

Only one match in the premier league today.

West Ham 1-3 Wolves
Wolves are on the march. They drew with Aston Villa and know have won against struggling West Ham. These are good three points to be collecting as they try to avoid relegation. West Ham are on their way down sadly. Next season, I don't think that they'll be in the premier league.

Tomorrow there are premier league matches as well as one FA cup replay. Predictions include...

In the FA cup
Tottenham 2-0 Fulham

In the Premier League
Aston Villa 2-1 Sunderland
Blackburn 1-0 Birmingham
Man. City 2-2 Everton
Portsmouth 1-3 Chelsea

By tomorrow we will know if Tottenham or Fulham are on their way to Wembley.

Premier league matches 22/3/10

Interseting results from intersesting games on 'super sunday'.

Blackburn 1-1 Chelsea
I expected Chelsea to drop points. Ewood Park (Blackburn's stadium) has never been Chelsea's favorite hunting ground. Blackburn are no easy task. Chelsea did well to get the one point. The one problem is that they slip to 3rd but with one game in hand. Come on Chelsea.

Fulham 1-2 Man. City
Man. City were always going to win this match. The only question being by how much. I really expected Man. City to win by two goals, but Fulham have been a dark horse all season long and have slipped up big teams like Man. United. Man. City did well for the three points and put the pressure on in the race for 4th place.

Man. United 2-1 Liverpool
Any other season, this would have been a very unpredictable match. This season, Liverpool are slipping up. Man. United play much better than Liverpool. This was an obvious win for Man. United, and Park Ji-Sung did well to get a goal. Well deserved glory for United.

On tuesday, West Ham take on Wolves. The prediction is...

West Ham 2-1 Wolves

Wednesday will bring FA cup replay action and Premier League games in hand. Goodbye 'till then.

Premier league matches 21/3/10

Arsenal move to the top of the table while Tottenham boost their bid for 4th place.

Arsenal 2-0 West Ham
It was good for Arsenal to get the three points as it means that they move to the top of the table. But, I expected them to get more goals. I think that was because West Ham are improving match by match. I hope that they are not relegated at the end of the season. Well done Arsenal.

Aston Villa 2-2 Wolves
I didn't see this one coming down the tracks. Wolves were thumped 4-0 at Chelsea, Chelsea have lost at Aston Villa and yet, Wolves can still draw 2-2 there. Very impressive to get the point. I do think that Aston Villa are slowly but surely getting worse. They're fading away from any chance of 4th place. Come on Aston Villa.

Everton 2-0 Bolton
This made sense. Everton are doing very well at the moment. They are doing particularly well at home. Against a team like Bolton you'd expect them to win. They are quietly chasing European football with every win. Come on and well done Everton. Let's see you in the Europa League next season

Portsmouth 3-2 Hull
I said in my prediction that Portsmouth were going to win. The reason being is that Hull are not doing very well. They're getting worse and worse. Hull are in the relegation spots. They need points to stay alive this season. Portsmouth did very well to get the 3 points. Well done Portsmouth.

Stoke 1-2 Tottenham
They win again. This proves that Tottenham are really serious about the Champions League spots. They do their best and they get three points at Stoke. Tottenham are still in the race and frankly, them and Man. City are the favorites to win the race. Come on Tottenham you can do it.

Sunderland 3-1 Birmingham
I said that Sunderland would win too. They're very good at home and Birmingham are only getting worse. Result: a win to Sunderland. Who are getting 3 points for show. As they can not be relegated or go for Europe. Well done Sunderland. Birmingham need points for Europe. They're never going to make it if they keep losing matches.

Wigan 2-1 Burnley
Both these teams haven't been doing well. So, one of these teams was going to get the three points. Wigan obviously showed that they're finally capable of getting results at home. Well done Wigan. Burnley need points.

Predictions for 'super sunday' tomorrow

Blackburn 1-2 Chelsea
Fulham 1-3 Man. City
Man. United 1-0 Liverpool

See ya tomorrow

Europa League matches 18/3/10

I said that two English teams would be going out in my predictions. Two English teams went through in real life.

Fulham 4-1 Juventus (5-4 on aggregate)
Fulham are having a fairytale run in the Europa League. They've dumped out the holders and one of the favorites in spectacular fashion. If they play their cards right and they draw a good side for the quarter finals, they could win it. You can do it Fulham, don't give up. I never thought that anyonee could beat Juventus 4-1 let alone Fulham. Very impressive.

Liverpool 3-0 Lille (3-1 on aggregate)
Well, Liverpool are starting to pull some decent results out of the bag. They're really improving and getting stronger. They'll certainly give Tottenham, Man. City and Aston Villa a run for their money in the battle for the last Champions League place. Well done Liverpool, you're through to the quarter finals.

Premier League matches to predict for saturday include...

Arsenal 3-0 West Ham
Aston Villa 2-0 Wolves
Everton 2-1 Bolton
Portsmouth 1-1 Hull
Stoke 1-2 Tottenham
Sunderland 2-1 Birmingham
Wigan 1-1 Burnley

Seven matches. See you then.

Premier League match and Champions League match 16/3/10

Sad news for two English teams, good news for one english team in the pursuit of Europe and a place in the Champions League.

In the Champions League

Chelsea 0-1 Inter Milan (1-3 on aggregate)
Heartbreak for Blues fans. We should've had a penalty that was denied. The Inter Milan players dived as if Stamford Bridge was a swimming pool. The referee was a bit of a bonehead. But, at the end of the day, Inter went through, nothing can change that fact. Sorry Chelsea, better luck next year.

In the Premier league

Wigan 1-2 Aston Villa
Well, it's not a shock. Aston Villa were always going to beat a struggling team on bad form like Wigan. Aston Villa, are a step closer to European football. I've been watching the premier league since the 2003/2004 season and never in the long time that I've been watching has the battle for Europe been so intense and exciting. Go on Aston Villa.

The Europa League sees two English teams in action let's predict

Fulham 1-1 Juventus (1-3 on aggregate)
Liverpool 2-1 Lille (2-2 on aggregate) Lille go through on away goal rule*.

*when the score on aggregate is tied. The team who scored the most goals away from home goes through. If, that's equal, they go to extra-time and penalties.

Let's see who can do it.

Premier League match 15/3/10

Only one premier league match today.

Liverpool 4-1 Portsmouth
The result wasn't a surprise at all. But, I didn't think that Liverpool would do so well in getting four goals. Good job Liverpool. Let's hope that they can do as well against Lille on thursday, when the second leg of Europa League last 16 matches start. Let's hope that Portsmouth can get some points soon.

Champions League football and one premier league match tomorrow

In the Champions League
Chelsea 3-1 Inter Milan (AET)

In the Premier League
Wigan 1-2 Aston Villa

Until then. Goodbye.

Premier league matches 14/3/10

Two premier League matches, 2 interesting results.

Man. United 3-0 Fulham
This was a very predictable result. A team that is very strong at home versus a rather weak side away from home. There's nothing more to it. Although Man. United have been doing better than average recently, the secret to their win was home court advantage.

Sunderland 1-1 Man. City
The other Manchester club, didn't do so well at the Stadium of Light (Sunderland's stadium). Behind to a 9th minute goal, it took them 81 minutes to find an equalizer through Adam Johnson. I'm sorry but, when you're on the verge of a place in the Champions League, you have to win games. At this rate, Tottenham are more likely to get that last Champions League spot.

Only one match tomorrow

Liverpool 3-1 Portsmouth

And then, the Champions League on tuesday and wednesday .

Premier League matches 13/3/10

Some very interesting results from the Premier League.



Birminghan 2-2 Everton

The last time that Everton came to St. Andrews (Birmingham's stadium), was in the FA cup, they lost 2-0. It seems that since then, Everton have improved, they've stopped being an average side, and joined the club with teams like Tottenham, Aston Villa and Manchester City. Sadly, Birminghan haven't improved, they're still two points ahead of Everton, but if they don't get points, the only direction they're going in is down. Well done Everton



Bolton 4-0 Wigan

WHAT??????? In the last five matches, Bolton have lost 4-0 not once but twice against Sunderland and Tottenham. Now, they've clocked up a 4-0 win against lowly Wigan. This could be Bolton's turning point, if they keep the points rolling in, they will be safe this season. This is not good for Wigan, they've now turned into one of those teams that are fighting for survival. Come on Wigan.



Burnley 1-2 Wolves

Really? Burnley beat Man. United at Turf Moor (Burnley's stadium). And Wolves, who are on the verge of relegation can beat Burnley away from home. It's quite unbelievable and great for Wolves, but it means that Burnley are now also in need of points. Very mysterious match. But, Wolves did well for the three points.



Chelsea 4-1 West Ham

1-2-3-4 straight past goalkeeper Robert Green. Chelsea thumped West Ham. Which is good for Chelsea because they're now at the top of the premier league table. But, it means that Chelsea inflict pain on another team. Today's team is West Ham who are know also on the verge of relegation. They (I feel like a broken record) need points if they want to stay up.



Hull 1-2 Arsenal

I didn't expect Hull to put up much of a fight. I thought that Arsenal would demolish them. Instead Hull put up a fight, scored a goal, and made Arsenal battle for the three points. Well done for that Hull. But, they still didn't win anything. They need to harness whatever was going on and implement it against a team like Sunderland. They could stay up if they tried it.



Stoke 0-0 Aston Villa

That is very impressive of Stoke to be able to hold Aston Villa to a goalless stalemate. Aston Villa are chasing Europe. If, they want to be in Europe, they need points. Goalless stalemates at Stoke are not good. Come on Aston Villa. You can do better.



Tottenham 3-1 Blackburn

The spurs (Tottenham's nickname) are on the march. If they can hold their fourth place position, they will be sailing into the Champions League. Go Tottenham. Blackburn are neither going to Europe nor going to the Championship (the league below the premier league). So, they can relax. Decent result for both sides.

Predictions are for tommorow's Premier League matches

Man. United 3-0 Fulham
Sunderland 1-2 Man. City

Until tomorow...................................................

Europa League matches 12/3/10

Last night was not a good night for English clubs in the Europa League.

Juventus 3-1 Fulham
Ok. There will be a time when people wake up and smell the roses about the fact that Fulham are just a small English team. So nobody should've expected them to win in Turin. The good news is that they got one goal. So, a 2-0 win in London sends them through to the next round (In a match is tied on aggregate in Europe, the team who scored the most goals away from home goes through). Come on Fulham, knock the Zebras out of Europe.

Lille 1-0 Liverpool
Well done French sides. On wednesday, Real Madrid's run in the Champions League came to an end thanks to Lyon. Marseille drew 1-1 with Benfica away from home and Lille have beaten Liverpool 1-0 to put pressure on the Merseysiders coming into the next leg. All in all great week for France and for French sides. Don't say I didn't warn you, Liverpool. (To get the joke, go back to the last entry on the Europa League).

Another big saturday in the premier league coming up. We're here to predict.

Birmingham 1-2 Everton
Bolton 1-1 Wigan
Burnley 1-0 Wolves
Chelsea 2-0 West Ham
Hull 0-2 Arsenal
Stoke 1-2 Aston Villa
Tottenham 3-1 Blackburn.

Seven matches. How many will be correctly predicted?

Premier League match and Champions League match 11/3/10

Two results coming up. Neither of them fit my predictions.

In the Champions League

Man. United 4-0 AC Milan
I'm not a huge Man. United fan. But, that is very impressive of Man. United to be able to beat a good team like AC Milan 4-0. Man. United deserve to go through to the next round. They showed incredible valiance and powered past AC Milan. Well done Man. United.

In the Premier League

Burnley 1-1 Stoke
I thought that Burnley might be able to edge past Stoke because of their home advantage. But, let's remember that Stoke are a good side, and that Burnley are in the relegation spots. This might explain the 1-1 draw. Burnley are one of the many sides that need to improve if they want to be in the Premier League next season.

Predictions for tommorow's Europa League matches are coming up. They include

Juventus 2-1 Fulham
Lille 1-0 Liverpool

Big matches, big players, who will come out on top.

Premier League and Champions League matches 9/3/10

Premier League and Champions league results that will leave your jaw dropping.



In the Champions league

Arsenal 5-0 Porto
WOW! Very impressive. In the many years that Chelsea have played Porto, we've never beaten them by five goals. This Arsenal side who stopped being too big a threat a few years ago, is finally fighting back. Arsenal go through to the next round in quite stunning style. WELL DONE ARSENAL!

In the Premier League

Portsmouth 1-2 Birmingham
What? Just this weekend, Portsmouth beat Birmingham 2-0 in the FA cup. Maybe they only care about the FA cup. Maybe they don't care about the fact that they're about to get relegated. I don't know, but as the famous Adam Lambert song wails "maybe it's time for a miracle" at Portsmouth. Come on Portsmouth.

Sunderland 4-0 Bolton
Sorry? I know that Sunderland can beat Bolton, but not by four goals. That's so wierd. Everyone is getting the craziest of results. Anyway, I don't know what happened there, but four years ago, Sunderland finished the Premier League season with only fifteen points overall. Now, they're beating Bolton by four goals.

The moral of the results of last night's matches are "ooh baby baby it's a wild world". Predictions for tonight's matches are......................

In the Champions League
Man. United 1-2 AC Milan

In the Premier League
Burnley 2-1 Stoke

Will it be 2/2.

Premier League match 8/3/10

Only one, but a very surprising one.

Wigan 1-0 Liverpool
Now, as a Chelsea fan, I know that Wigan can beat big teams at home. But, Wigan have been on slightly bad form lately. Liverpool last time I checked were doing quite well. Well, Liverpool lose again and fall to 6th in the table. Well done Wigan.

Tommorow, the 2nd leg of two of the Champions League last 16 games(we will only report on one), and Premier League games. Predictions are coming in now.

In the Champions league
Arsenal 2-2 Porto (AET)

In the Premier League
Portsmouth 2-1 Birmingham
Sunderland 1-0 Bolton

Let's see the results of the three matches.......................Tommorow.

Premier League match and FA cup matches 7/3/10

Two more teams went through to the FA cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium. Which two?

In the FA cup
Chelsea 2-0 Stoke
Chelsea are through to the semi finals at Wembley again. I mean, Chelsea can obviously beat a small team like Stoke at home. Some thought that Stoke might cause a surprise. But, against a good team like Chelsea, it'll never happen. Stoke must wait for one more year. Chelsea go through to the semi finals at Wembley stadium in april

Reading 2-4 Aston Villa
I predicted that this clash of the titans would end in a draw. Instead, a very interesting match saw Aston Villa comeback and end Reading's fairytale run in the FA cup. I was sure that Aston Villa were going through one way or another. The most exciting part of this report, is that Aston Villa are against................................Chelsea at Wembley stadium in april. COME ON CHELSEA.

In the Premier League
Everton 5-1 Hull
I would never have guessed that Everton could beat Hull 5-1 at home. This is great news for a Everton side that are on fire. But not, for a Hull side that need points if they don't want to be relegated. Everton, try to do better than Liverpool this year.

Only one Premier League match to predict

Wigan 1-2 Liverpool

What shall the result be?

Premier League matches and FA cup matches 6/3/10

FA cup matches complete with surprises today and premier league matches that might interest you.

In the FA Cup
Fulham 0-0 Tottenham
This wasn't too much of a surprise. Fulham have been doing quite well in all competitions recently and they're at home. Tottenham haven't been doing so well away from home. But, they still stood strong enough at Craven Cottage(Fulham's stadium) to manage a 0-0 draw. The replay is at White Hart Lane(Tottenham's stadium) on 24/3/10. Remember that day.

Portsmouth 2-0 Birmingham
If there has been one silver lining in Portsmouth's pretty bad season, it's been the FA cup. There was one week where Portsmouth were having a terrible time at the high court, yet they ended it by winning 4-1 at Southampton in the FA cup. Now, they're on their way to Wembley(the stadium where all domestic cup matches and England matches take place), whilst about to go bankrupt. It sounds a little bit like the Indian film 'get set goal'. Well done Potsmouth. Birmingham are just on a dark downward spiral.

In the Premier League
Arsenal 3-1 Burnley
Arsenal were of course going to win this match. But, you can tell a lot by how much a team wins by. For a team like Burnley, to get a goal at the Emirates stadium(Arsenal's stadium) is a very good thing. Burnley will be happy, goalwise but Arsenal take the three points.

West Ham 1-2 Bolton
I didn't know that Bolton were capable of beating a team like West Ham, away. That is pretty impressive of Bolton to have won a game like that. Bolton will be very happy to see these three points in their pocket. West Ham, have to improve if they want to stay in the premier league this season.

Wolves 0-1 Man. United
This was a bit of a surprise. I expected Man. United to win by more goals. Just one Paul Scholes goal is a little bit disappointing. Man. Unitec need to start doing a little bit better. Particularly if they want to beat AC Milan. Man. United can do way better. Wolves must improve if they want to stay up this season.

Predictions for one Premier League match and more FA cup matches for tommorow.

In the Premier League
Everton 2-0 Hull

In the FA cup
Chelsea 2-0 Stoke
Reading 2-2 Aston Villa

Will the actual scores have so many twos in them.

Premier League matches and Carling cup final 28/2/10

Did Man. United or Aston Villa take home the Carling Cup. How did the other teams do.

In the premier league

Liverpool 2-1 Blackburn
Liverpool were at home for this match, and they are also on a small patch of good form. Blackburn haven't exactly been faltering. Their one goal probably came from their good attack and Liverpool's somewhat skakey defence. Liverpool can be happy with the three points.

Sunderland 0-0 Fulham
I can think of two reasons for this. One, they are rather equally matched sides after all. Two, I've noticed that Sunderland are going through a rough patch of results. Whilst, Fulham knocked Shakhtar Donetsk out of the Europa League. Fulham will be satisfied with the one point. Sundrland need more points to stay in the premier league.

Tottenham 2-1 Everton
Whilst these two teams are almost equally matched, Tottenham played at home. This gave them the advantage. This three points highly benefits Tottenham as it means that they get closer to 4th place and a place in the Champions League. Come on Tottenham, you can make it. It's not good for Everton though, who are at least pursueing the Europa League.

In the Carling Cup Final
Aston Villa 1-2 Man.United
Man. United were in their 2nd consecutive Carling cup final. This gives them a little bit of experience advantage. Aston Villa have surprised everyone this season and have been doing very well. Aston Villa opened the scoring. But, goals from Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney ensure that the Carling Cup went back to Manchester.

Premier league and FA cup games to predict next weekend.

In the premier league
Arsenal 3-0 Burnley
West Ham 2-2 Bolton
Wolverhampton 1-2 Man.United

In the FA cup
Fulham 1-1 Tottenham
Portsmouth 1-2 Birmingham

And the results are..................................................................
