Clash of the titans

All eyes will be on Monday night match between Man City vs Man Utd as this match pretty much determine the winners for this season Premier League Champion. Will it be the Citizens or Red Devils? Well...my bet would still be Man City to be the winner, lets wait and see what is the outcome for the Monday night ckash of the titans match.

Saturday match featuring Everton vs Fulham, Sunderland vs Bolton, Stoke vs Arsenal, Wigan vs Newcastle. Home advanatges for these few teams with a draw on hand and aiming for a win. Stoke to stunt the Gunners and Wigan to end Newcastle good run. WBA vs Aston Villa, Villans to get an away win. Swansea vs Wolves, a draw most likely. Norwich vs Liverpool, Liverpool to geta  positive result and end their awful slump eventhough they may play an under strength squad.

Sunday's match featuring Chelsea vs QPR, Tottenham vs Blackburn, a win for the home teams. Lastly Monday night match where everyone will be waiting for and surely match of this week and this season...Man City vs Man Utd, Man City to win and back to the top of Barlays Premier League table.

Title Race back on?

Is the Title race back on? That would be a million dollar question. A lot people had written off Man City for the title even City’s Manager had admitted publicly that the title race had finish when the gap is 8 points and even though now had narrow down to 5 points, not sure it’s psychology game or he is just being humble in case they do finish runner-up or to pile pressure for the Red Devils. For me, I personally still believe that the battle is wide open although there’s only 4 matches left to play for both teams and 12 points for grab only. If you are good at maths, by calculating the probability surely the odds for Man City to win the title is pretty slim but am still keeping my finger cross as I still have faith for a miracle to happen by end of this season. History would be made as it will be the most exciting comeback in the season for us to cherish if Man City do manage to win the Premier League title.

 

 

Back to this week match-up, early kick off for 2 sides battling for Champions League place, Arsenal vs Chelsea. Chelsea recent good form saw them in FA Cup final and in a good position to reach Champions League Final this year and chances to finish in the top four is quite optimistic judging from their current form so I bet on their form to continue this game and able to get either a draw or a win for the Blues where as Gunners slump to continue from last weekend defeat to Wigan.

 

 

Fulham vs Wigan, Bolton vs Swansea, Blackburn vs Norwich, foresee a draw or a home win for these few games. Newcastle vs Stoke, Stoke to stunt Newcastle at Sports Direct Arena and end Newcastle recent good run. Aston Villa vs Sunderland, a win for the Villans and put an end to their slump. Late game saw QPR vs Tottenham, a home win for QPR as they simply too desperate for points and will go all the way for a win at Loftus Road.

 

 

Sunday’s match Man Utd vs Everton, a draw game but hoping for a shock win for Everton perhaps. Wolves vs Man City, a comfortable win for City. Last game Liverpool vs WBA, a comfortable win for the Reds where Andy Caroll partnership with Suarez to flourish and topple the Baggies.

 

 

My pick for this week would be Chelsea, Stoke, Blackburn and Liverpool with a 3-1 score line for the Reds.          

Twist in The Tale?

A very exciting week for premier league action last round as there seems to be a twist in the title race with 5 matches to go. Seemingly the race will go down the wire all the way till May to find out who will be crown the Premier League Champion. Man Utd Or Man City? Seems very simple yet unpredictable just like a Baccarat game in casino but the only difference there must be a winner eventually although there is a tie in the Barclays Premier League.    

 

There will be only 6 matches played this weekend due to FA cup semi-final action involving 4 Premier League teams. Early kick-off for Norwich vs Man City match, can't see any outcome but Man City to win this one as they simply can’t afford any further slip up. Sunderland vs Wolves, I tip Wolves to get something out of this match, a draw or even a win. Swansea vs Blackburn, a high scoring game with Swansea on the upper hand for this match. WBA vs QPR, fancy a positive result QPR.

 

Only one game on Sunday, Man Utd vs Aston Villa. another shock result? Predicting a dull 0-0 draw for this game, hoping Villans to beat Red devils at Old Trafford and create history and stop their record from scoring in 47 matches straight at home. Monday night game featuring Arsenal vs Wigan, a win for Gunners.     

My tip of this week would be Man City, Wolves and Aston Villa.

Sayonara Citizens???

What a sad reality Man City now 8 points behind Man Utd with 6 matches left to play. It would need a miracle for the Citizens to clinch the Premier League title but never say never, lets keep our finger cross and hope for the Bookie Effects to kick in big time on this. yesterday game against Arsenal, Man City are titally outplayed & awful where I must said Mancini really got it wrong again by playing Balotelli instead of Dzeko, also not starting Kolarov, Micah Richards, De Jong and Tevez as well. Substituting Nasri & Aguero while picking Pizarro to replace Yaya Toure. Seriously...what's in Mancini mind??? to get the worst result possible and get to be sack soon!!! Balotelli is simply a dangerous time bomb waiting to explode, his character and discipline totally cant be accept nor tolerate. Just imagine if he were to be under Sir Alex Ferguson team...I think long time he already been either transfer listed, sold on cheap price or FOC, loan to another club or even cancel his contract, fire and kick him out of the club immediately. Maybe that's what makes Fergie such a great Manager.

well, wnough is enough talking about Man City. A busy week for BPL as non-stop games follow from last weekend matches. Todays match Everton vs Sunderland, a draw is a likely outcome for this game. Tottenham vs Norwich, a win for Spurs. Newcastle vs Bolton, Bolton to get something out of this game where Newcastle good form to end. Aston Villa vs Stoke, a home win for Villans. Fulham vs Chelsea, Chelsea to win!

Blackburn vs Liverpool, a must win for the Reds as they are another huge disappointment in the league this season as I believe they will get back on track witha  win. Man City vs WBA, cant see other outcome but a sure win for the Citizens. Why? Cos no crazy Balotelli and hope Mancini get the starting eleven right this time. Wigan vs Man Utd, I would still go against Man Utd for Wigan to get a draw or even a shocker...Wolves vs Arsenal, another shocking result waiting I suppose, my money on Wolves. QPR vs Swansea, two promoted side facing each other as QPR will have the home advantage as they are battling for survival so definitely more determination and purpose for them in this game, my money on MAS...QPR!!!

My pick for this round will be Chelsea, Man City, QPR & Liverpool......  

   

Is The Reds really a Fluke team???

Liverpool oh Liverpool...what happen to you and King Kenny, what is wrong with you. Is your American owner so desperate for money or are you lost control of your team already just like AVB in Chelsea? Truly hope the history of AVB to repeat to Mr Kenny Dalglish. I cant find any other words in the dictionary to describe the Liverpool team at the moment except for "Disappointment". Hope they can fare better soon and sort out whatever issues they have internally or externally!!! Maybe should plead the bookie not to target on them at the moment...

As for Man Utd...are the decils really that good? Are they really going to win all their remaining games? Are they going to be this year BPL Champion? well, only time will tell...no matter what, my believe and forecast is still the same, Citizens to be the Champ!

Yesterday there was an early match where Newcastle came out with a 2-0 away win over Swansea, a very good result for the Magpies as they are just 2 points behind Tottenham and Arsenal, more impressive is they are 3 points ahead of Chelsea and 14 points ahead of Liverpool...fancy them for a 4th place finish & a spot for next year Champions League football???

Today's match Sunderland vs Tottenham, Spurs is back on form so a draw or win for them. Chelsea vs Wigan, a sure win for the blues! Norwich vs Everton, Bolton vs Fulham i fancy a draw game and advantage to the away teams if there are winners in both this matches. WBA vs Blackburn, home team to nick a point or 3 out of this match. Liverpool vs Aston Villa...time to rebound for the Reds with a convincing win (i hope) from them over the awful Villans.

Tomorrow's game featuring Stoke vs Wolves, a home win for Stoke. Man Utd vs QPR, another shocking result for QPR??? I fancy a draw for this game or even a shocking win for Air Asia at Old Trafford. Hope Tony Fernandes team will make Malaysians proud and create the headline by upsetting the Red Devils. Lastly match of the week Arsenal vs Man City, a tough match for to call but my pick would be an away win for the Citizens, 3-1 win for Man City!!!

My pick of the week would be Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea & WBA.      

City back in business...

Man City is back in business??? Alot ppl already write off City saying that Man Utd already the Premier League Champion. I truly still have faith with Man City and till now Man City is not back in business but when ever were they out of business!!! My call still stands with Man City winning the title this year.

Clearly the Bookie Effect (BE) lately is very severe and obvious involving few top teams for the past few games such as Man City, Tottenham, Chelsea and worst of all Liverpool. Liverpool i must said they are the worst by far. Why? Maybe new American owner are too desperate for $$$ or King Kenny wants to be the King of BE. If he wants that I'm sure he had done a brilliant job as even a team like Wigan and QPR they don't mind losing when they were 2 goals up for good and lose at home to Wigan which i must said the most awful team among the 20 teams.

Well, lets just forget about last week and concentrate on this weekend matches. 8 matches on Saturday. Aston Villa vs Chelsea, a must and sure win for the Blues as they are 5 points behind Tottenham and 8 behind Arsenal while Villans are simply aweful in the second half of the league till now. QPR vs Arsenal, a shocking defeat maybe for the Gunners...as i bet their good run to come to an end this weekend with a shocking defeat or a draw at Loftus Road. My money on QPR. Everton vs WBA & Wigan vs Stoke, i fancy a draw for both this match.

Fulham vs Norwich, a home win for Fulham. Man City vs Sunderland, a sure win for City boys with their 16 home win at Etihad stadium and a perfect 100% home win record to continue. Wolves vs Bolton, a very interesting relegation battle...in time like this i would prefer to opt for the home team to get at least a draw or a win at Molineux stadium. Late game on Saturday night featuring Newcastle vs  Liverpool. My bet will be a convincing away win for liverpool with few goals maybe as its time for them to bounce back with the hope of Andy Carrol to score against his old club and Suarez to continue his scoring spree.

Only one game on Sunday featuring Tottenham vs Swansea. A home win with Spurs to bounce back from their recent slump. Lastly another Monday night game for the Devils, Blackburn vs Man Utd. Blackburn is one of the 3 teams who had beaten Man Utd this season and i strongly believe they are able to get a good result from this game, a draw at least with a win and doing the double against the current leader + champion. 

My picks for this week would be Chelsea, QPR, Liverpool and Blackburn. QPR & Blackburn, the underdogs to have a shocking results and a convincing win for the Blues and surely a 5 star performance from the Reds in thrashing the Magpies at Sports Direct Arena!!!         

Man U the Premier League Champion???

What do you think...Man U the 2012 Premier League Champion!!! On paper(theoritically) it may as well be but practically saying I really doubt about it. If you were to ask me I would always put my money on the practicality as it simply works better in the world nowadays. So my money will still be on Man City to be the Premier League Champion...simply they are a better side, they deserve it and they are the next BIG thing or should i say the new force to be recognise in modern English football.

With remaining 9 matches to go...everything is heating up as 2 teams fighting for the champion, 5 teams fighting for 2 champions league spot, 6 teams in relegation dog fight while the rest can just be a routine to get to the 40 points mark to be safe for another year of Premier League football. Which teams will qualify for the champions league and which teams to be relegated? Judging from the table its quite clear that Spurs and the Gunners are the favourites while teams to be relegated although they are 6 teams there the more likely to go down would be the current bottom 3 side but hard to say as i said its just base on paper and the table now where there are still 27 points offered to be grab just like last season where Wigan was save in the last minutes with winning the last few games and avoiding the drop but i truly believe that fat lady won't sing twice as by next year they will be playing the Championship football alongside with Wolverhampton. The interesting team to watch would be QPR, will it be that unlucky for Tony Fernandes's Air Asia + MAS by sponsoring half way this season straight away being relegated...is it a curse just like Proton few years back on Norwich and Cardiff for failing to be promoted after being own by our Berjaya founder Mr Vincent Tan. I, personally feel QPR will be safe and not relegated this season.

For this weekend matches, we have an early match between Chelsea vs Tottenham. Chelsea is like a rejuvenated side after Abramovich fired AVB so gone are the days for Resident Evil...haha!!! They are like a team reborn and the spirit they showed against Napoli really amaze me where all the old uncles really perform nicely and even on the score sheet eg.Drogba, Terry & Lampard. Who said old man can't play football and not competitive in the football world now. A fascinating facts + reality!!! Tottenham are currently in a slump as lately their results have been poor or maybe that's their true capability??? well, only time will tell but for this match I bet on a positive result for the Blues as they will surely get something out of this match either a draw or a win which i fancy the later. Old man/unlces to roar at Stamford Bridges... 

Bolton vs Blackburn, a relegation battle. A 50-50 match so of course safe side would surely be opting for home team in this situation. Swansea vs Everton, I'll opt for the away team for this one. Liverpool vs Wigan, a sure win for the Reds as they had been really a disappointment is Premier League this season. Liverpool to bounch back from midweek shock defeat to QPR. Arsenal vs Aston Villa, Villans to get a result from this match. Norwich vs Wolves, a win for Wolves. Sunderland vs QPR, a win or draw for Sunderland. WBA vs Newcastle, a win for Newcastle.

Sunday game featuring Stoke vs Man City. Surely no slip-up for the Citizens. Lastly Monday noght football, Man Utd vs Fulham. A shock result waiting for MU!!! a win for Fulham...or at least a draw and its time for City to regain + maintain the lead in the league table. My pick of this week none other than Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City, not forgetting Fulham...Liverpool to thrash Wigan 4-0!!!
