Fixture Focus–Spurs (Europa, 13 Dec 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Anzhi Makhachkala

If there ever was a time to rest the first stringers, this match is the one.

Qualification for the knock out stage is already assured and we have a vital match with Liverpool over the weekend. AVB should just play our best substitutes and the reserves so that they get some competitive playing time.

Anzhi are a team in chaos as they sit bottom of their league so they will want to salvage some pride in this match for their fans. They will also be progressing to the knock out together with Spurs so I do expect this to be a low scoring draw.

Midweek Review - 10 Dec 2013

Manchester United vs Shakhtar Donetsk

We had our first back to back defeat since 2002. Everton inflicted the first defeat in Old Trafford since 1992. And wait for this, Newcastle win for the first time in Old Trafford after a wait of 41 years. Thank you David Moyes for the unwanted record.

If David Moyes have tried to motivate players but yet still lost, we still can understand. But for 15 games, you still mentioned is a transitional period, that is a very lame excuse. His method is at best mid-table, wont challenge for title or trophies. So what if he is able to bring in a world class midfielder but not able to get the best out of the team? He would turn the world class midfielder to just an average Premier League footballer. I really hope someone out there would prove me wrong, but the performance on the field suggest otherwise.

The coming match is a dead rubber match. Whether we are finish top or 2nd, it doesnt matter to us as we wont progress to the quarter final after that. Why? Because of the festive game season that last till Feb with Capital One Cup and FA Cup.

Man Utd is giving 0.5 handicap. No punt.

Results - EPL Prediction 07 - 08 Dec 2013

The honours this weekend goes to Mr White for being the only 6-pointer. While making no progress up the ladder, Mr White nevertheless caught up with the rest of the pack.

A good result in the next round should see him leap-frogging.

Good luck!

Fixture Focus - Spurs (7 Dec 2013)

Sunderland AFC vs Tottenham Hotspur

With a midweek victory against Fulham ending our winning drought, Spurs will travel to the Stadium of Light to face off Sunderland, managed by our ex-player and ex-coach Gus Poyet.

Question now will be who will board the team bus along with AVB to the northeast? Paulinho could be one of them, but with him playing almost every game (and suffering from some off-form moments recently), will we allow him a rest this time round? Also, we hope there will be some tweak in the team to give some confidence to Soldado, who has been not-so-prolific since he came here from Valencia.

Sunderland emerged the loser in their last goal-ful game against Chelsea midweek. Though beaten, they may carry on the goalscoring momentum against us this weekend.

Goals galore? Maybe. Spurs victory? Likely. COYS? You bet!

Weekend Review - 7 Dec 2013

Manchester United v Newcastle

Guess Moyes' mentality has not changed a single bit since the appointment, and now we are back in mid table after the shock loss to Everton.

Now we will have Newcastle visting us for an early weekend kickoff and it is a resurgent Newcastle that we should be worry about. And they are also placed higher than us. Kind of weird to see Man Utd in the mid table standings and we have Southampton, Everton and Newcastle on top of Man Utd.

Man Utd is giving 1.25 handicap. The handicap is too high in my opinion, again no punt.

Midweek Review - 4 Dec 2013

Manchester United vs Everton

A disappointing draw with Spurs and missed the chance to go into the Top 4.

We will have Everton visiting us, and the irony is that they are 5th in the standings. Somehow i have this feeling that Moyes intend to make Man Utd into a mid-table team but did extremely well in the European competitions.

Roberto Martinez has flourished at Everton since the appointment during the off-season, and will be a difficult team to beat.

Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. No punt for this match.

Fixture Focus–Spurs (EPL, 5 Dec 2013)

Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur

 

How would Fulham react now that their manager has been sacked?

The side leaks goals and has not been performing on the pitch. Spurs had a decent outing against Man U and confidence continues to grow in the camp again. The interesting rumor coming out of the Spurs camp is that AVB may be considering a two striker formation. I also hope that he is considering playing Lennon on the right and Townsend or Lamela on the left. We had good success stretching the Red Devils on the flanks and we should have that as a plan again for this fixture.

I like to see us build on the momentum we showed on Sunday and get us back on track with a W.
