Weekly Picks - 11/21/2008

2008-11-21T21:00:42+00:00

My picks have been a bit off recently, and that's putting a generous light on the situation. So, it seems obvious that the only way to avoid being generically wrong is to be specifically correct. Therefore, not only am I going to predict the scorelines for this week, I will even give you, my dear readers, a Nostradamus-esque view into specific moments from the coming weekend.

Who Really Has The Most Injuries?

2008-11-21T16:53:31+00:00

Tomorrow the Premier League is back and I am getting used to more and more people coming up with the excuse that their team has the most injuries. Today I have been searching to find out who really has the most injuries? Is it Manchester United? Is it Arsenal? I can tell you that the club (right [...

Saturday Match-Ups Preview (Part 2)

2008-11-21T16:33:16+00:00

In Part 2 of our Weekend Match-Ups preview, we see what the second half of Saturday's games brings us. These games may not turn out to be as exciting as the matches in Part 1, but they are games you should watch nonetheless.

Middlesbrough v.

Premiership Predictions Week 14: Arsenal and Spurs to Bounce Back

2008-11-21T11:00:29+00:00

Saturday, 22 November 2008 Chelsea v Newcastle, 15:00 Newcastle have no away wins this season, and won't be getting their first at Stamford Bridge. Especially with Joey Barton out for two months with bad karma knee ligaments. Nicolas Anelka (eight goals in his last four games) could face Newcastle on his own here and probably get a [.

Rant Box: Chelsea v West Brom

2008-11-15T07:25:34+00:00

West Brom at the Hawthorns, eh? I guess we should expect a six- or seven-goal barrage.

We soon shall see.

Coming off the grotesqueness of midweek a loss to Championship side Burnley at Stamford Bridge on penalty kicks we all should expect Chelsea to pursue an immediate response.

Saturday Match-Ups Preview (Part 2)

2008-11-14T18:10:30+00:00

If you're reading this article first, you are in the wrong place! Read Part 1 of the Weekend Match-Ups Preview to see what the first 4 Saturday games could have in store for you! This article will be focusing on the second 4 games on Saturday. I am going to dub this part of the Weekend Preview the "Potential One-Sided Wins" article.

Premiership Predictions Week 13: First Defeat for Redknapp

2008-11-14T16:00:56+00:00

Saturday, 15 November 2008 Bolton v Liverpool, 12:45 Steven Gerrard's right foot vs Jussi Jaaskelainen's incredible octopus impression. Quite a contest, but Bolton's two match winning streak ends here. And Rafa Benitez will insist on using the word "jes" in his post-match interview. Odds: Bolton 5-1, Draw 13-5, Liverpool 8-13 Prediction: 0-1 Arsenal v Aston Villa, 15:00 John Carew has a [.

Saturday Match-Ups Preview

2008-11-07T19:36:28+00:00

This Saturday's match-ups offer some very good matches. It also includes the "Match-Up of the Weekend" and the "Blowout of the Weekend." Not a bad day to be watching football if you ask me. Arsenal v. Manchester United (12:45): After an amazing game between Chelsea and Liverpool just a couple weeks ago, we now turn to [.

Premiership Predictions Week 12: Arsenal to Drop Out of the Top Four

2008-11-07T17:22:21+00:00

Saturday, 8 November 2008 Arsenal v Man Utd, 12:45 With Walcott, Gallas, Sagna, Adebayor and Eboue all doubtful and Robin van Persie injured, we could be seeing Arsenal's Carling Cup team at the Emirates. That might work against Sheffield United, but it won't work against Manchester United. Odds: (win/draw/win) Gunners 2-1, Draw 9-4, Man Utd 11-8 Prediction: 2-0 to [.

Which Premier League Clubs Will Get Relegated This Season?

2008-11-04T11:52:34+00:00

Just as it's difficult to predict who will win the Premier League race this year, it's going to be even harder to pick which three clubs will be relegated. After watching all of the teams play, none of them look like relegation candidates. Sure, one week ago Spurs looked like relegation certainties, but with Harry Houdini [.

10 Reasons Why This Premier League Season Is The Best Yet

2008-11-02T19:29:17+00:00

This weekend we were graced with another very entertaining and competitive Premier League weekend. At this rate, we're well on course for one of the most exciting Premier League seasons in recent memory. Here are ten reasons why: No more Derby County. The three promoted teams already have equaled or exceeded the number of points that [.

Weekend Matchups Preview

2008-10-31T16:56:52+00:00

After a midweek that saw two fantastic finishes, a couple upsets, and a few solid performances, I feel that those games definitely equaled, if not surpassed the expectations coming into them. We saw Tottenham, down 4-2 with 5 minutes to play, score 2 goals to tie it, at Arsenal. Just as exciting, we then saw [.

Premiership Predictions Week 11: Spurs to Beat Liverpool

2008-10-31T11:00:56+00:00

Saturday, 1 November 2008 Everton v Fulham, 12:45 Looks like an Everton win, until you realize the Toffees have only picked up two home points this season. And Andy Johnson (finally) found his shooting boots on Wednesday, so maybe he'll do a Bentley against his old employers. He's 250-1 for a hat-trick.

Premiership Predictions: Week 10

2008-10-29T02:00:22+00:00

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 Arsenal v Tottenham, 20:00 This has to be one of the most interesting north London derbies for a long while. Arsenal clearly have the better team of footballers (well, they do) but Spurs have the Redknapp bounce (or the Judas bounce, depending on who you ask). The former might outweigh the latter.

Midweek Match-Ups Preview

2008-10-28T19:40:02+00:00

After this past weekend's outcomes, it is safe to say that several teams dubbed it "the revival." Tottenham got their first win of their season under their new manger, Harry Redknapp. Everton played well at home and was able to draw Manchester United. Hull won big at West Brom to prove that they are no [.

Premiership Predictions: Week 9

2008-10-24T10:00:04+00:00

Saturday, 25 October 2008 Everton v Man Utd, 12:00 Poor David Moyes. All he wants is for Everton's season to turn around so he can start enjoying that massive new salary. But the damn Premier League fixture computer keeps pitting The Toffees against teams with bigger and better squads. Better luck next week David.

Saturday Match-Ups Preview

2008-10-23T15:00:30+00:00

It will be interesting to see what this Saturday's games bring. Since Premiership action kicks off not only at the weekend but also midweek, teams will be faced with difficult personnel decisions. What teams will give key players a break? What role players will step up and take charge to help gain momentum for their [.

What Impact Is The Credit Crunch Having On Premier League Attendances?

2008-10-22T10:00:21+00:00

How are attendances at Premier League clubs being affected, if at all, by the Credit Crunch this season? Based on research compiled by EPL Talk comparing the percentage difference between the average attendance season to date and last season's average attendance, we can reveal that average attendances haven't been affected that much at all, which is [.

Big Four Return To Top of Premier League

2008-10-19T00:44:52+00:00

Today was a turning point in the 2008/2009 Premier League season as one, it marked the first weekend this season when all Big Four clubs won their matches. And two, the top four teams in the Premier League are now the Big Four clubs at least for the next 24 hours. Each of the Big [...]

Premier League Predictions 2008/9 - Week 8

2008-10-17T10:00:21+00:00

I think we've established by now that my predictions are pretty unreliable. If I say something's going to happen, then it almost definitely won't. But like a fly bashing its tiny head against a window, I keep trying. To see what the pros at Paddy Power think, check out the odds on this weekend's games [.

Premiership Predictions 2008/9 - Week 7

2008-10-03T11:00:24+00:00

Saturday, 4 October 2008 Blackburn v Man Utd, 17:30 Paul Ince's Rovers beat Newcastle last week, but Man Utd will be a tougher customer - even without the injured Scholes and Rooney. Fergie faces yet another of his managerial offspring, which has to make him feel old. Prediction: 0-2 Bonus Prediction: Fergie to give Ince deliberately bad "advice" before [.

PREMIER LEAGUE - MATCHDAY SIX

2008-09-29T08:39:08+00:00

Arsenal started the day in top spot and were expected to crush Hull City at The Emirates. Football though has a habit of bringing you back to Earth, the visitors doing so by winning 2 - 1. It did not seem that it would be the case when Cesc Fabregas forced McShane to put through [...]

2008-09-27T22:59:00+00:00

Defender Jonas Olsson scored in the 53rd minute as a young and inexperienced back four held strong against today's continuous Boro attack. West Brom's players enjoyed their first away victory of the Premiership season. 23-year old goalkeeper Scott Carson performed admirably throughout the match.
