Weekend Review - 15 Dec 2012

Manchester United vs Sunderland

Ok, Man Utd has to win, go 6 points clear and end Man City's home unbeaten run. Defence is still shaky since the start of the season, and it will be our Achilles' heel till the end of the season. Dont be surprised if they lose point along the way and get caught by the chasing pack.

No point buying defenders at the mid of the season and expect them to understand their own team mates or the flow of the game at the first instant.

Next game against Sunderland where Martin O'Neill is managing. This season they are playing below expectations and is hovering around the relegation area. By right, they should be challenging for the top half of the table, or even European places with the players at the disposal.

Man Utd is giving 2 balls handicap. With a defensive team like Sunderland, is quite hard to even score more than 2 goals to win the handicap. Avoid the punt.

Results - EPL Prediction 08 - 09 Dec 2012

It was a good weekend for me as Everton and I are the only ones to score some significant points. Everton up 1 place to 9th while I climb 3 places to 4th.

Had a heart attack when City equalised but Go! Go! Goal! van Persie to bring home the 3 points. Yay!

Fixture Focus - Spurs (9 Dec 2012)

Everton FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs will be travelling outside of London after almost 2 weeks of playing games in the capital. Heading up north, we will be facing Everton at Goodison Park.

After a string of victories and advancement to the Europa League Round of 32, AVB will want to keep the winning momentum going. With Adebayor back from suspension, we will see whether AVB will play him or the in-form Defoe, or both at the same time. 

The Toffees are without injured stalwart Neville, but they still have good players such as Fellani, Baines, ex-Spurs-for-a-brief-while Pienaar and of course, their strike-man Jelavic.

Goodison Park has not been a good hunting ground for us, with our last win back in 2007. Nevertheless, I am confident that Spurs will go marching on.

COYS!!!!!

Weekend Review - 9 Dec 2012

Manchester City vs Manchester United

The loss against Cluj is expected and also end our home unbeaten run since 2008 for Champions League.

Our next game is a massive derby against Man City. If we win, we will be 6 points clear. Do you really think Man Utd will win this game and run away with the title? I doubt so. There are unknown forces at play.

Man Utd eat 0.25 handicap. No punt for this game.

Fixture Focus–Spurs (Europa League, 7 December 2012)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Panathinaikos

No beating around the bush. Win or draw and we will progress to the knock-out stages of the competition.

Panathinaikos have a full strength side and should make a go of it as a win should take them through if Lazio beats Maribor. Meanwhile, Spurs will have to do without the services of Gareth Bale, Michael Dawson, Scott Parker, Younes Kaboul and Benoit Assou-Ekotto. Both Bale and Dawson were substituted during the match against Fulham for pulling their hamstrings. Expect Friedel and Adebayor to start as Lloris and Defoe get much needed rest.

AVB has got a string of wins in the Premier League under his belt and I am looking forward for a good result tonight to continue building our momentum. We definitely have the quality in our side so it is up to the players to show it on the field. I do not expect a high-scoring affair though.

Midweek Review - 5 Dec 2012

Manchester United vs CR Cluj

Horrendous defending from Man Utd. If this is the mentality of "you score one, we score 2 back", we might lose the title to goal difference yet again.

We have the last game of the Champions League before the year end and again no impact to the qualification regardless of the result since we have qualified for the knockout rounds. Expect to see 2nd team in action.

Man Utd is giving 1 ball handicap. No punt to this match

Fixture Focus - Spurs (1 Dec 2012)

Fulham FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

The 3rd EPL game within a week, exhaustion began to show on players across the league as we are nearing the infamous "Christmas Crunch" period.

Good thing is, we are travelling just across the capital to Craven Cottage, home of Fulham. This game is kind of a reunion of sorts, with ex-managers and ex-players together on the same field.

Caulker is back after missing the midweek game against Liverpool and he will likely return to the centre defence role. The ex-Fulham D&Ds (not related to a popular fantasy game or a year end party) Dembele and Dempsey are likely to start against their old club. Adebayor is still suspended and thus Defoe is continuing to provide our firepower up front.

Jol welcomes Richardson back to the lineup but he will be missing Ruiz through injury. Berbatov will be starting as well.

An interesting matchup, given that we have found our winning ways again. An away win would be nice to start the last month of the year.
