As the race for 1st and 4th spot’s heats up, this weekend will see some crucial matches being played… fortunately for me, I’ll be watching them in Europe… so there! And this is how I picked ‘em this weekend. I predict: Birmingham 2 v 1 Burnley Man City 2 v 2 Aston Villa Portsmouth 1 [...]
After a couple weeks of sloppy punditry and ill timed posts, I have returned to step my game up for the ass end of the season (I’ve always been an ass man)… and what a weekend to pull the finger out for! Along with battles for the title and relegation shit fights, there has been [...]
A massive game this round at the Bridge, with mid-week UCL struggles Chelsea up against mid-week FA Cup flops Man City. Another slip up by the Blues will see United and Arsenal back in contention for the title, whereas a win for City could lock in fourth spot as Tottenham host an in form Everton… [...]
Ah, I love cross town rivalries. They really do warm the heart. Nothing screams “Fuck you neighbour!” quite like a few fake dives, a bad penalty decision and two goals by the same player, that only a mere 6 months ago was plying his trade for the opposing team… oh and how could I forget [...]
Don’t look now Fergie, Carlito is quickly climbing the top goal scorers list and better yet, with 10 goals in 8 games, he’s single-handedly helping Mancini’s City jump into fourth place! The only way this would be cooler is if there were some sort of 80′s style montage stitching together this feat and their inevitable [...]
Everyone’s Christmases came at once over at the middle East lands the other night. The snow was falling thick and fast, Roque Santa Cruz managed a rare start and an even rarer deuce (he should have partnered Tevez up front a long time ago) and shortly after the match had ended Mark Hughes was sacked [...]
The aim this round was to do better than my predictions on the weekend and it’s safe to say, like Tottenham against a sloppy Man City, I kicked them out of the park while predicting 5 out of 8 results. Gameweek score: 5 out of 8 Weekend conclusions: Liverpool finally scraped a win but is [...]
Ok, I’m going for a perfect record this round… lord knows I need it to make up for the weekend’s shambles. I’m also predicting a Liverpool bite back in retaliation (look out Wigan!) and with 4th place up for grabs at White Hart Lane, a 6 goal thriller… look out, my nuts just landed on [...]
When Chelsea scored their early goal, I thought City were in for one helluva night, but much to my surprise and no doubt the millions watching, they were able to out-muscle and out-play the Blues at their own game. It almost reminded me of the time I went to that strip joint and started shooting [...]
There are several key matches this weekend that I’ve had a lot of difficulty predicting, however, the one I’m looking forward to the most is Chelsea’s visit to ‘Draw Specialists’ Manchester City… and guess what, I’m predicting another draw! Going off recent form, I think City are one of the few teams that can match [...]
This was the first time in about a million or so games that City didn’t concede stupid goals draw; coincidentally it was the second time in a mere 4 days that Arsenal were out muscled by a stronger, more experienced opponent. What I want to know is when will Arsene Wenger learn? Yes it’s great [...]
If anyone crazy enough thinks Liverpool and City have a chance of cracking the top four after a ridiculous performance such as this, there is still good news for you yet, you’re not the only delusional bastard walking the face of this earth! Goal.com If we play to our level we will be in the [...]
This weekend kicks off with a mid-table cracker that has media ass-whooping stamped all over it… cause you just know that, regardless of the outcome, both managers and every player on the pitch will come under intense scruitiny. Over recent weeks, City have fine tuned their skills of drawing matches into a fine art form [...]
Manchester City were condemned to their fifth consecutive draw last night against, wait for it, of all teams… Burnley! Next time Mark Hughes tells me his side are a top 4 team, I’m personally going to fly to the the Midlands stadium and poke him in the eye! Better yet, I’ll just wait for him [...]
Talk about doing it tough! At half-time, a near full strength Manchester City were a shaky 2-1 up against Championship team Scunthorpe, who actually looked quite impressive on the break. What happened in the second half doesn’t really matter at this point cause it doesn’t help drill home my point but I seem to constantly [...]
