Results - EPL Prediction League Match Weekend 27 - 28 Feb 2016

No movement at the top with KingMeng still protecting his slenderest of leads, but Everton now forms part of a four-way race by snatching third-place from Voxeros, whose apparent lack of faith in the Red Devils was punished. But who am I to talk, my faith in the Kop hasn't been exactly rewarding either. 

Congratulations also to Mr White and redherring for notching another exact prediction for the Southampton-Chelsea match, and climbing up the Marksman table. 



Housekeeping Notes: All of this season's tables will eventually be kept in a Flickr photoset.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (28 Feb 2016)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Swansea City AFC

Spurs is playing hosts to Swansea in the upcoming Sunday kickoff.

Spurs had a good game against Fiorentina during the midweek Europa League game, and as I always said, we have to keep the momentum going. Kane is likely a no show for this one after a broken nose inflicted during the Crystal Palace game. Good news is Lloris will be returning to the line-up.

Swansea is now hovering above the relegation zone and the fact that they are facing 2 North London teams back to back in the league does not bode well for them. The good thing is that they had a break during the FA Cup weekend meant they should be physically and mentally ready for Spurs.

Spurs may be able to clinch the top spot of the standings by the end of this weekend provided that the nearest table rivals Leicester and Arsenal slip up in their games. The dream may become a reality now.

COYS!

Weekend Review - 28 Feb 2016

Manchester United vs Arsenal

If only Man Utd senior players are able to play as freely as the youngsters in the match against Midtjylland that got us through to the next round of Europa League. The youngsters seem to defy LVG tactics and play that we used to see in Fergie's time. Our next opponent in the next round will be Liverpool.

Our main aim will still be the 4th spot in the EPL, regardless how well Man Utd progress in the FA Cup or the Europa League. Somehow, LVG seem to have alot of breathing space now due to the 2 cup competition that got us this far. We have yet to see that kind of form repeat in the Premier League.

We will have Arsenal visiting us. With 2/3 of the season gone, we are down to the final stretch. Man City and Liverpool will face each other in the League Cup final. Both of us will want to capitalize to either catch Man City or widen the lead to catch Tottenham and Leicester, whichever the camp that you are in.

Man Utd is eating 0.25 handicap. No punt.

Midweek Review - 24 Feb 2016

Manchester United vs Midtjylland

Man Utd actually progressed to the quarter finals of the FA Cup. Scant consolation. They will face West Ham in the next round.

Latest rumors is that once Man Utd's points tally is not enough to catch the 4th spot in EPL, LVG will be dismissed. Why wait till the cows come home? Same situation as David Moyes.

Anyway, they have to overcome Midtjylland in order to progress further in the Europa League.

Man Utd is giving 1.5 handicap. They just need to score 1 goal to go through on away goal rule. No punt.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (21 Feb 2016)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace FC
(FA Cup, 5th Round)

For the 5th round of the FA Cup, Spurs is playing hosts to visitors Crystal Palace.

Spurs, who had just played the Europa game during the midweek, is likely to make some changes to Thursday's lineup with the regular starters, since there is no EPL game until the next weekend. Lloris is out injured so Vorm will take up his space.

Crystal Palace, which has been plagued with injuries recently, are set to welcome some back, at least to the bench. Sako, Bolasie and Ledy are just a few that could possibly feature.

There has been talk about Spurs going for three pieces of silverware this season. However, my humble opinion would be to go one game, one campaign, at a time.

COYS!!!

Weekend Review - 21 Feb 2016

Shrewsbury Town vs Manchester United

The loss was expected as there are reports where Rooney mentioned he wont play in Europa League while LVG claimed that Rooney got injury and will be out for 2 months. That is as good as preparing Rooney for Euro 16. Whatever it is, we are at a new low now. When captain and manager are at odds, media is going to have a long field day till LVG is gone or at the end of the season, whichever is earlier.

There are also reports that Jose Mourinho could get hired at the end of Feb. And we wont have another season of European football next season, no matter how optimistic fans are. In the past, teams were afraid to come at us. Now, they know that we are there acting as the bait, and will go at us directly.

Now we will face Shrewsbury Town in the fifth round where if we got knocked out by them, it will be even lower than where we are going at this rate.

Man Utd is giving 1.25 handicap. I think i rather eat it. Sigh, good grief Man Utd.

Midweek Review - 19 Feb 2016

Midtjylland vs Manchester United

We lost to Sunderland where they are fighting against relegation. Have this been during Fergie time, we would have won easily. This show how bad LVG tactics or Man Utd players are at the moment.

We will head to Denmark for Europa League to face Midtjylland. People seem to suggest that if Man Utd wins the Europa League, they can still go to Champions League next season. Who in the right mind will allow England 5 spots in the Champions League next season? The last time it happened, Liverpool won the 2005 Champions League and finished 5th in the EPL. However, they do not have "country protection" as they could face any English club in the Champions League group stages.

Midtjylland is also not a pushover. They dumped out Southampton in the qualifying stage before the group stages. And yes, we are all hoping for Midtjylland to do another miracle.

Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. No punt for them.

Results - EPL Prediction League Match Weekend 13 - 14 Feb 2016

It was a bumper weekend for Marksmen as we saw FIVE exact predictions for the Arsenal-Leicester match. Congratulations to Voxeros, edwinsng, KingMeng and myself for moving up the Marksmen table, and also Mr White for notching his first this season. 

Even though there were bountiful points grabbed this round, KingMeng managed to hold on to his slender 1-point lead, and the race is now back to being a 3-horse tie. I don't expect this to remain though, as this season has been one of many unpredictable results.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (14 Feb 2016)

Manchester City FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

Happy Valentine's Day! Although this is a day of love and romance, there is no love lost today between the current top 4 teams as they will face each other in 2 games. Our game is the second.

Both games will change the dynamics of the top 4 placing, and Pochettino knew this. He is likely to bring along his first team to the blue half of Manchester, which means players such as Walker and Lloris are starting. There is no room for mistakes at this juncture.

Man City had just emerged from a defeat to current leaders Leicester, so this could be a "punching bag" game of sorts for them (with us being the punching bag, of course). Pellegrini still harbours hopes of getting the title this season.

COYS!

Weekend Review - 13 Feb 2016

Sunderland vs Manchester United

It was a 1 point gained rather than 2 points loss in the Chelsea match. Alot of people are pinpointing Depay for the fault that lead to Chelsea's goal, but does anyone see David de Gea's saves that keep Man Utd in the game?

Yes, we lost ground on chasing Leicester but they face Arsenal this weekend, and this is the chance to win against Sunderland and cut the lead.

Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. Take Man Utd for the win.

Results - EPL Prediction League Match Weekend 6 - 7 Feb 2016

Happy Year of the Monkey everyone!

The first pair of results in this lunar new year definitely lives up to the Chinese Zodiac, throwing a monkey wrench into leader KingMeng's previously sizable lead. The race to the top is now up for grabs for SIX hopefuls. Only 1 point separates the reigning champ from the nearest contender edwinsng.

Congratulations to cool402 and edwinsng for also progressing up the Marksman table, as well as Mr White for being one of two 6-pointers this week.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (6 Feb 2016)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Watford FC

This weekend's game sees Spurs playing hosts to visitors Watford.

Spurs are now third in the table, and more work and perseverance are needed to maintain it that way. Since Vertonghen is out due to injury on a mid term basis, the newfound partnership between Wimmer and Alderweireld has to develop quickly in order to soak up the pressure not just in this game, but the immediate future games as well. 

This is a homecoming for our ex-keeper Gomes, who is now playing against us as the goalkeeper of Watford. Welcome back Gomes!

COYS!

Weekend Review - 6 Feb 2016

Chelsea vs Manchester United

Out of sudden, Man Utd turned back old school and start scoring for fun. Ending a record of no goal in the first half. Destroyed a helpless Stoke and now we are 5 points behind 4th spot Arsenal. Surprise leaders Leicester are still going on strong with Man City and Tottenham the realistic challengers for the title.

We will visit Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea and we need a result to keep going. At the moment Chelsea is unbeaten since Guus Hiddink took over.

Man Utd is eating 0.25 handicap. I think this game will end in a draw. Take Man Utd for the handicap and win half of the punt.

Fixture Focus - 2 Feb 2016

Norwich City FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

This midweek fixture sees Spurs travelling to Carrow Road, home of the Canaries. Both sides had just met on Boxing Day last year, which Spurs emerged as 3-0 winners.

At the moment, 5 points separate us from fifth-placed Manchester United. Vertonghen is out of action for a long while after the last league game in Crystal Palace, so Wimmer, who had started in the FA Cup clash against Colchester, will step up to take his place. Dele Alli is set to start as well.

Norwich is currently hovering above the relegation zone. Things do not bode well for manager Neil, having lost the last 3 league games. New loan signing Bamford from Chelsea could provide some spark in their prospects.

Midweek Review - 2 Feb 2016

Manchester United vs Stoke

We won against Derby in the FA Cup and now we got Shrewsbury Town as our next opponent. And LVG defiantly going to stay till the end of his contract despite the negative tactics that he has put in place.

We will have Stoke visiting us and they are also a bogey team like West Ham to Liverpool. We have lost against them earlier this season, and hopefully we can take notice and win them to chase the leaders.

Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. First half remain scoreless and we will see goals in the second half. No punt in this match.
