Results - Game 10 - 11 Sep 2011 EPL Prediction League 2011/2012

Looks like it is going to continue be a lousy start to the season for me as I just can't seem to catch a break.

Congratulations to Everton for scoring 3+3 to tie Beaver21 for the top spot.

Everton deserves a second congratulations for notching on on the Marksmen Board together with Necroastr.

Well done, guys!

Weekend Review - 10 Sep 2011

Bolton Wanderers vs Manchester United

Wow, both Manchester teams trashed Tottenham and Arsenal 5-1 and 8-2 respectively. And the current standings for both Manchester and London teams at different end of the table.

Next week will be the start of Champions League and teams involving in it will have one eye on it, without a doubt.

Bolton have started the season strongly but receive a stern lesson from Man City and Liverpool. Not a good time to face a title challenger in the form of Man Utd. 3rd time unlucky.

Fixture Focus - Spurs (10 Sep 2011)

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

After having been thrashed by the two halves of Manchester (and sitting pretty at the bottom of the table), the upcoming game against Wolves is not going to be a reprieve either. Wolves is one of the teams that our boys are finding hard to break, especially so with our record against them last season.

However, with the recent transfer window over, we have garnered a few players who are no strangers to the EPL scene. New signing Parker and on-loan striker Adebayor are likely to start, but some of our regulars such as Gallas, Van der Vaart and Pienaar would not be able to make the trip to the Molineux.

McCarthy would likely field the same lineup as per his previous 3 games, and Wolves are still in the "undefeated team" category for now.

Are we able to pick ourselves up again? Or are we going to face a repeat of the horrendous season opening 3 years ago?

COYS!!!!!

As we reflect…

The international break has come at an opportune time for Spurs fans.  After taking a 5 goal smacking by the blue half of Manchester, perhaps Daniel Levy and ‘arry will now make sure we get a couple of quality signings by 31 August 2011.

Meanwhile, for those who would like a glimpse of how the emotions of Spurs fans went last weekend, just watch the video below.  A group of Malaysia Spurs members got together to watch the match and it was captured by local web tv outfit Hoohaa.my:

EPL Prediction League

There wont be any prediction games this weekend due to World Cup and European Championships qualifier.

Anyone fancy to predict China against Singapore score? LOL!!

Results - Game 27 - 28 Aug 2011 EPL Prediction League 2011/2012

Wow. 8-2. For a moment I thought I was looking at water polo score. As if the 5-1 demolition of Spurs wasn't bad enough, I woke up to a 8-2 score between the two giants. Wow.

Speaking of Arsenal, I can't help but feel like the Gunners as I continue to dwell in the cellar albeit finally brought duck with 2 miserable points.

We also welcome back Raynaldo for another season!

Congrats to Beaver21 for taking the early need but denied the season's first Perfect-10 by the woodwork.

As a consolation, both Everton and Beaver21 chalked up another on the Marksmen Board while redherring and cool402 opened their respective accounts.

Kudos.

Weekend Review - 28 Aug 2011

Manchester United vs Arsenal

First of all, our Champions League opponents for this season will be Benfica, Basel and Otelul Galati. Our 3rd round Carling Cup opponents will be Leeds United.

In just one week, we will be facing the 2nd London team after winning 3-0 against Tottenham. The way I see it, there could be a change of Big 4 this season. I believe the Big 4 consist of Man Utd, Chelsea, newly appointed Man City and lost in the wilderness Liverpool.

Arsenal have lost the plot when they have no experience leader on the field such as Viera. Even if they did bring in an experienced player, it will take some time to get the engine running.

Man Utd Team News: Rio Ferdinand and Vidic are still out.

Arsenal Team News: Gervinho, Emmanuel Frimpoong and Alex Song are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 1 ball handicap. I would say not worth the bet as it could be an odd goal winner in Man Utd.

Disclaimer: This review is entirely on my own views and opinion. I didn’t point a gun at you to ask you to follow. If you want to bet on this game, do so at your own risk. Pls bet within limits. Good luck.

Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 28 August 2011)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City  

In the new world order of the Premier League, Manchester City is turning out to be a new rival for Spurs in the battle for Champions League spots every year.  Two seasons ago, we beat them 1-0 to ensure qualification for the Champions League playoffs via a Peter Crouch goal.  And last season, we lost 1-0 to them away via a Peter Crouch own goal and lost out on a playoff spot for Europe’s elite football competition.

We have played City a total of 124 times in the league and have won 47 times to their 46.  We have won 11 and lost just 2 of the last 16 matches against City and have lost just once in the last 30 Premier League matches at White Hart Lane.  Yet we have to be cautious.  This City team is different.

Mancini has been given a very good team this season and their strike rate has improved significantly in the first 2 games of this season.  With the addition of Samir Nasri to their already talent-filled team, Spurs will have to stay focused throughout the match.

Modric should be available for a start this weekend while new loan signing Adebayor is match-tied against his parent club.  After a less than convincing start against the red half of Manchester the previous week, Spurs will need to play more as a team.  All the industry across the pitch is useless if the final ball is found wanting (yes Lennon, Defoe and van der Vaart, I am talking about you guys) or if the player takes a selfish shot at goal.  There is no better game to kickstart our league ambitions than by getting our first home win on Sunday.

COYS!!!

Fixture Focus - Spurs (25 Aug 2011)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Heart of Midlothian

(UEFA Europa League Playoff Stage, 2nd Leg)

This game marked the first on our home soil, and with a 5-away-goal advantage, this game is Spurs' to lose.

Our boys were back from Manchester with a horrendous defeat to the red half, and we will be facing their blue half this coming Sunday. With that in mind, this return leg of the Europa League game will see more of our youngsters in action rather than the regulars, such as Kane, Carroll and Townsend. Modric, with his minor injury and possible transfer, may start in this, too.

Hearts would have nothing to play for but pride in this game. It is one of their rare visits to a stadium on English soil. My take is they will exit out of this European competition in a burst of fire and concentrate on their league back in Scotland.

Onward we march. C'mon you Spurs!!!!!
