Results - Game 13 - 14 Aug 2011 EPL Prediction League 2011/2012

Welcome back one and all to the new season of the EPL Prediction League. How time flies, this is our 8th season and we are still going!

The turnout for this season is not too good but I think having laid off during the summer for so long, some of us may need a reminder to get back in here.

Anyone has contact to guys like Delay, Raynaldo, Apollo, necroastr (and more) to get them back?

Please give them a buzz.

p.s. We will be having Euro 2012 Prediction League at the end of the season.

Weekend Review - 14 Aug 2011

West Brom vs Manchester United

Welcome to the latest season of Barclays English Premier League. Our first game is to Hawthorns. Against West Brom.

Roy Hodgson spent the second half of the last season at West Brom, after failing to revive a certain Liverpool. He seem to be doing better to mid-table teams like Fulham, where he guided them to Europa Cup Final.

Man Utd, on the other hand, had won the 19th title to overtake Liverpool for the most titles won. And they are not resting their laurels as Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea have gone to the transfer market to buy players.

This season, we will be seeing the average age of Man Utd players to be dropping from 28 years old to 25 years old. The Community Shield against Man City throw up some exciting prospects such as Tom Cleverly and Danny Welbeck.

Everyone knows what last season Man Utd is having when they can win all their home games yet able to lose or draw at away games. Now we will get to see whether it will continue in the new season.

Weekend Review - 7 Aug 2011

Manchester United vs Manchester City

Welcome to the new season of Barclays English Premier League! And to start the season going, we have the curtain raiser of Community Shield and is a derby match between Man Utd and Man City.

Man Utd have lost a couple of players due to retirement of the game, mainly Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville. They also release or sold players such as Owen Hargreaves (good grief), Wes Brown and John O'Shea to Sunderland. To make up the shortfall, they went into the market and bought David De Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young. We are still waiting for one more player to come in and is very obvious who is it.

Man City, on the other hand, have too many players at their disposal but other clubs are finding hard to get them due to sky high wages. They bought Sergio Aguero, Stefan Savic, Gael Clichy to further improve their league position and European commitments.

We also welcome Queens Park Rangers, Swansea City and Norwich City back to the Premier League.

Coming up next is the Prediction League! Stay tuned!

Weekend Review - 28 May 2011

Manchester United vs Barcelona

This is the final game of the season and our final opponents at Wembley is none other than Barcelona. Man Utd have come this far, critics lambasted them along the way for lack of depth, no ability to gain maximum points in away matches. The stats are out there to prove the critics wrong as they are undeafeated in the current season Champions League.

At a time when the Premier League title was going to derailed with successive defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal, we thought that Man Utd should give up Champions League to focus solely on Premier League yet still go on to win Schalke and Chelsea in the Champions League for the final showdown.

Barcelona is no doubt, a football team from another planet. Players like Messi, Iniesta and Xavi control the midfield with ease. Yet Man Utd is thinking of revenge where they lost to Barcelona 2-0 in Rome 2 years ago. The only difference that the current Man Utd team and the previous encounter is Cristiano Ronaldo.

If there is any indication of who is the first 11 in this final, look no further in the 2 legged quarter final tie against Chelsea where Rooney is given a playmaker role.

As this is the last post of the season, I will also take this opportunity to thank Edwin van der Sar for his wonderful contributions as Man Utd's custodian. He has fitted Peter Schemichel's gloves after countless search for a good goalkeeper. Mark Bosnich, Fabian Barthez and Massimo Taibi all tried their luck with no success. The new No. 1 goalkeeper will have big gloves to fill.

Next season, we wont be seeing the likes of West Ham, Blackpool and Birmingham as they got relegated to the Championship. And we will see Norwich, QPR and one more team in the next season's Premier League.

See you guys next season!!

Man Utd Team News: A full squad to choose from.

Barcelona Team News: A full squad to choose from.

Odds and Analysis: Barcelona is giving 0.5 handicap. This match will be much more closer and tighter than the last final in Rome. I think the match could go into extra time, and could even settle the tie through penalties. Take Man Utd for the handicap.

Congratulations to Mr White for winning this season's EPL Prediction League!

On the Marksmen Board, we congratulate ihawk98 for winning that side of the competition with 8 correct predictions.

Once again, thank you all for yet another wonderful season of predictions. I would also like to thank ihawk98 for picking the tricky matches for this season that makes this season the lowest scoring one ever. It was a great challenge as only a mere handful managed to break the 100-mark.

We hope to see everyone back when season 2011/2012 starts.

Cheers.

Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 22 May 2011)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Birmingham City

Are we interested in the Europa League at all?

‘arry has mentioned that Europa football is not exactly a priority with Thursday and Sunday matches.  Having beaten Liverpool at Anfield last week, Spurs, I believe, will be professionals and aim to win this last match of the season at home. There is pride to play for in Europe even though it is not the Champions League and we have a really good chance to win that trophy with the team we have.

I just hope that we finish the season strong and win out.  Our players will then have a good summer break, with the promise of a clear out of some of the squad and possibly the addition of players in positions that we need desperately.

COYS!!!

Weekend Review - 22 May 2011

Manchester United vs Blackpool

With the 19th league title secured, we can rest ahead for the last league game against Blackpool, and prepare for the Champions League final match against Barcelona in Wembley.

Though this is a dead rubber match, but Blackpool need to win in order to stay in the top flight for another season. I think we can enjoy the match and watch the champions celebrated after the final whistle.

As the season come to a close, the summer transfer market will be more busier than usual. Edwin van der Sar is retiring, Owen Hargreaves and Michael Owen (rumors) are not given contract as their contract expired in Jun. Fergie is looking to add 3 more faces for next season title league defence. Next season will be more interesting as we see Man City in the European Cup, Liverpool in bullish mood as they sign Kenny Dalglish.

Man Utd Team News: Fergie is expected to field 2nd team for this match.

Blackpool Team News: Chris Basham and David Carney are out of this match.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. Avoid this punt as i think Man Utd will play for a draw and not losing the home record.

Results - Game 14 - 15 May 2011 EPL Prediction League 2010/2011

It was a difficult weekend to predict as many clubs are already on holiday mood.

As we approach the final weekend of the season, Mr White has only 3 points to go to seal the title, after a stumble by ihawk98 on the penultimate weekend.

Mathematically, there is still a chance for ihawk98 to steal it but it will have to be a big zero for Mr White and some serious points from ihawk98 himself.

Congrats to Redherring for being the only 6-pointer this weekend as he continues to chase the pack. Perhaps gunning for a Top 10 finish this season?

Best of luck!
