Forgive me for feeling a bit smug after predicting a 1-0 win for Stoke against Liverpool last week.
So might Tony Pulis' team be surprise Champions league contenders? Weirder things have
happened.
Liverpool's admittedly slightly freaky loss underlines that it is still pretty much open season
for that fourth Champions league slot.

Right then folks, with just 111,911 seconds left until the UEFA Champions League final kicks-off
at Wembley tomorrow evening the time has come to nail your colours to the mast.
Whether United play 4-4-2, 4-3-3 with Valencia pushed alongside Rooney and Chicharito or the
experimental 1-9-1 formation they've been secretly working on in training all week, you just have
to fancy Barca, don't you?

Well it has been a fascinating F1 season so far with Team Red Bull leaving everyone else in their
slip stream. Maybe though this weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone will be the start of the
fight back by McLaren , Ferrari and the others.

Sit back and watch the best of the 2011/2012 Premier League season live with Sky Sports
HD.
Not that we're sitting in our undercrackers, idly watching the clock or anything, but there is
now only 26 days, 3 hours, 29 minutes and 29 seconds until the Premier League farts back into life
and hits our screens again over the weekend of August 13th so we reckon it's high time to take a
deep swill of chutzpah juice and make our famous(ly rubbish) and fearless predictions for
2011/12.
Two matches in and there are already a few things we know about the Premiership.
1 The second best team in the Premiership is Manchester United reserves
2 It is not going to be a good season for north London clubs
3 City's Aguero is going to be brilliant but alas not in every game
4 Steve Kean has got two more matches to get a few points or else those chickens will come home
to roost.

Borussia Dortmund v Arsenal
This looks like a tough start for the Gunners, especially on the back of their heavy defeat
at the hands of Manchester United in the Premier League. Current Bundesliga Champions
Borussia Dortmund are quietly fancied to do well in this season's Champions League
following some excellent performances in their domestic league last season.
So, here's this week's fixtures brought to you in conjunction with our betting sponsors
TheVIPGambler . This week's game of the week focuses on two clubs who, uncharacteristically,
haven't got off to the greatest of starts this season, which has led to speculations as to who will
be the first Premier League manager filling out forms down the job centre Arsenal vs.

Full-time in Chelsea's last-minute loss in Leverkusen brought Pies' Heineken Star Player mini
