incredible predictions

[The Fish 11080]

Saturday, 1 December

 

Aston Villa v Arsenal

Suddenly, this match has taken on the mantle of game of the day. Villa have won four matches in a row and now come against the leaders, fresh from their defeat in Seville. It, therefore, can’t be anything but a draw, probably 2-2 with Young the player to watch.

TFF prediction: 2-2

 

 

 

Blackburn v Newcastle

These are troubled times for Big Sam who has not faced pressure like this as a manager since his days at Blackpool and, even then, he was winning games. He faces a Blackburn team in top form until Wednesday but you can expect Mark Hughes’ side to fight back and win this 3-0 with Friedel on top form.

TFF prediction: 3-0

 

 

 

Chelsea v West Ham

I sometimes do feel sorry for these top footballers on their £50,000 plus per week salaries. This week those poor Chelsea players had to actually play in a part of the world where it was cold, bless them. They did brilliantly but will now probably feel tired ahead of this game after travelling. I, too, get knackered when I get off a two hour flight. Chelsea haven’t lost for 14 matches now and they won’t lose this one either even if West London freezes over.

TFF prediction: 3-0 with Drogba back on target.

 

 

 

Portsmouth v Everton

Both these side have scored seven in a match and so anything could happen in the next 90 minutes at Fratton Park. Portsmouth will want to arrest Everton’s goalscoring while trying to nick a goal or two themselves. I could go on. Expect goals and both managers helping journalists with their enquiries after the match.

TFF prediction: 3-2.

 

 

 

Reading v Middlesbrough

In a week of dramatic news from across the Premier League, somehow this game has slipped under the radar probably because no-one except the players on the pitch care too much about it. Reading equipped themselves very well at Manchester City last weekend and it’s high time they won a match. I can see very little in my crystal ball made of tea leaves which will leave the six Boro fans still left with anything to smile about.

TFF prediction: Doyle will be the man in a 2-0 win.

 

 

 

Sunderland v Derby

At one point this week it looked as if Derby might be managed by Paul Ince and so his first game in charge would have been against his old mate Roy Keane. It isn’t. Instead enter Paul Jewell or the Saint Jewell Thaddeus as he should be known. Despite conceding an average of a goal every 18 seconds this season, the Rams aren’t out of it and Jewell will prove that as his side score their first goal away from home this season (Howard’s the man) and get a point, too, in a 1-1 draw.

TFF prediction: 1-1

 

 

 

Wigan v Man City

City continue to surprise everyone by staying in the top four and they won’t have any problems against a Wigan side who have lost every game since the middle of September and who haven’t won since the sun was shining in the middle of August. Since joining, Steve Bruce looks more and more like he’s wearing a Bo' Selecta mask and his face will get even longer as Elano finally gets back to scoring ways as City win 0-2.

TFF prediction: 0-2

 

 

 

Sunday, 2 December

 

Liverpool v Bolton

Bolton may have provided the shock of the season when humbling Manchester United last weekend but don’t expect a repeat as Benitez celebrates a 4-0 win by throwing dollars across the pitch, jumping up and down on hamburgers, shooting a pistol into the air while shouting yee-hah and becoming morbidly obese. Crouch, who in case Rafa hasn’t noticed, scores just about everytime he comes onto the pitch and will do so again.

TFF prediction: 4-0

 

 

 

Tottenham v Birmingham

If my calculations are right (I look forward, not back) there are only nine current managers who were managing their Premier League side this time last year. These two are brand new with Ramos arriving only recently and McLeish as new and shiny as a new, shiny thing. The Scot said that the lure of the Premier League was too much to ignore even though it’s Birmingham and only nine managers are still in the same job as last year (if my calculations are right). Don’t expect great things just yet as Tottenham run riot with Bent scoring a hat-trick to celebrate the return of his girlfriend Gemma from the Aussie jungle until he realises she’s actually going out with Marcus, not him.

TFF prediction: 4-0.

 

 

Monday, 3 December

 

Manchester United v Fulham

Having lost to Bolton and only just won in midweek in the Champions League, Sir Alex and his bunch owe someone a right good hiding and I'm afraid for Fulham fans, this is going to be it. Ronaldo will turn up literally on fire having arrived at the game following a paraffin accident in his shed. Tevez owes his club a goal or two, too, too, too, and so will score two in a 4-1 win.

TFF prediction: 4-1.

 

it's not that I think that the results will go in a different direction, but this guy from the Telegraph is predicting a grand total of 34 goals in one weekend of football... doesn't anyone else think this vastly exaggerated?

 

If this is a regular prediction boy, how could he make such wild claims?

As long as the Blackburn one is right then I'm halfway to getting my fiver off the Fish man

[The Fish 11080]

Like shite little man, you didn't agree. And even if we do lose both games I still don't think he'd get the sack, so to coin a phrase.

 

Just Fucking Bring it

[khay 10]

There was about 30 goals last weekend, so he is not that far off.

[The Fish 11080]

there were?

 

was that not helped by the 7 goals put past the mackems? I mean.. that result (however satisfying) was not exactly expected now was it. It was out of the ordinary.

Another one who rates Blackburn more highly than he should. Top form? Before getting trounced off Villa they were held by Fulham and beaten by Man U. They've conceded 8 in 3 games...just like us.

Say that there was 4 goals scored by villa during the week and a few teams have been conceded more than 5 goals of quite a few occasions this season a quite a lot of high scoring games.

Tottenham 4-0 Derby

 

Fulham 3-3 Tottenham

 

Fulham 3-3 Man City

 

Arsenal 5-0 Derby

Totally agree. I reckon there'll be around about 20 goals this weekend... and you can take that to the bank.[/Hard To Kill]
