Oh yeah. 3 spot on last week, which isn’t bad, although there was no money in it since I didn’t have time to put any bets on. C’est la vie.
Here’s this week’s hastily gathered numbers:
Saturday 24 September
Birmingham v Liverpool 1-1
Liverpool are finding goals hard to come by, and this isn’t the sort of away fixture they’ll relish, or come away from with the maximium.
Bolton v Portsmouth 2-1
For Pompey, see Liverpool above. I expect Wanderers to have too much bite for Perrin’s odds and sods team.
Chelsea v Aston Villa 2-0
No-one scores against Chelsea. They score 2 goals a game. Easy one this. Lampard and Crespo.
Everton v Wigan 2-1
Everton need a win. Good to see them punching at their weight again after last season, though. They’ll huff and puff, and Tim Cahill will show enough skill to score the winner.
Man Utd v Blackburn 3-0
Meh. Blackburn look rubbish again, while the scum are looking fairly well oiled. Expect the Dutch one to score a brace.
Newcastle v Man City 1-1
A little blip, but I fancy City to bounce back and give the Toon a close one here. Let’s face it - Stuart Pearce won’t stand for any less, and would you want to disappoint that man?
West Brom v Charlton 1-0
OK. I said at the start of the season Charlton were horrible away from home, so it’s about time they started proving me right.
West Ham v Arsenal 1-3
I really don’t like West Ham. End of.
Sunday 25 September
Middlesbrough v Sunderland 1-1
Local derby = draw.
Monday 26 September
Tottenham v Fulham 2-0
Tae Boa Morte out of Fulham and what’s left?

Dreadful set of predictions this week, bud.
However, drafting Danny Murphy and Ruud Van (in place of Sunderland’s Tommy Miller and the cantankerous Rooney) into my fantasy league team was an inspired move.
Now I need to figure out a way of getting Lamps into my team. That would involve getting rid of either Cech or Terry. Like you say, nobody scores against Chelsea. Nobody except for Aston Villa, that is.
Ah well, you can’t be right all the time… and I still have 2 matches to get some respectability out of this weekend’s games. Perhaps I should start basing predictions on reality instead of very ingrained personal feelings about all the clubs…
Charlton will go bad away from home any day soon, though, I just know it.
