The 'big 4' should win their games tomorrow, although United have a tricky away tie at Villa, still expect United to get the win though.

Newcastle V Spurs will be an interesting one as well as both sides want to be competing for european places next year.

Portsmouth should continue thier excellent season as well

Liverpool and Man United to win.

Arsenal and Chelsea to draw.

don't just pick out the big 4 luis, you'll get accused of 'bigfourism' by Kimbo

will they all go ahead though due to all this bloody fog?

i included a bit about Newcastle though

Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea to win.

Arsenal? No doubt we will make hard work of it as usual.

I actually think Liverpool's game is the only banker. Watford at home.

The other 3 games could all be difficult.

Aren't Villa draw specialists this year?

I said last week that I can see Villa getting a draw in this one

They have alrerady drawn with Chelsea and Arsenal away this year.

And with O'Neills Celtic record in the CL versus the likes of Juventus and Barcelona, Man Utd could be in for a hard game.

Their form isn't as good as it was a month or so ago. We have a good record against Villa as well.

Yeah it has tailed off slightly since November.

I still fancy Utd to win though.

Its a record against a manager that matters rather than the club though.

I think this might be tougher than you're making out. a win would be a very good result here

I know how tough its going to be, I just fancy us to win.

Newcastle v Tottenham is the big game of the weekend.

Luckily for us it looks like Lennon is injured, because, as overrated as he is, he would rape Babayaro(hopefully Huntington will play ahead of him anyway). Looks like the general consensus among Spurs fans is that Taylor and Ramage are shit. FOOLS! They'll get a nasty surprise tomorrow.

Anyway, i fancy us to give Spurs a footballing lesson just like the last time they visited us.

The team i would play...

-----------------Given-------------------

Solano--Taylor--Ramage--Huntington

------------------Butt-------------------

Milner-----------Dyer-------------Emre

----------Sibierski----Martins-----------

I would probably go with Butt in DM as he's in form and Parker is lacking fitness.

& Butt's better.

not much width down the left though, is there? Wouldn't it make more sense to use Milner and Dyer on the wings again, given that Huntington is a centreback and not likely to get forward?

Is your game on tele tomorrow?

As his mental tackle on Robben against Chelsea showed, what the fuck was he thinking???

Dyer is our best player and is at his best in the middle, i just otped for Emre's crossing ability. If it was the other way round i wouldn't mind though.

Sky have opted for Fulham v West Ham and Wigan v Chelsea.

He didn't want to let Rpbben get in the box or Taylor and Ramage would of wilted.


As for the sky games, its a fucking joke. Id much rather see Villa vs Man United, Arsenal vs Blackburn or Newcastle vs Spurs than any of those 2 games.

go down a pub which has the arab channels Parky, sky commentators and everything

surely this would be a red card offense?

Wigan-Chelsea is on Prem Plus, isn't it?

Anyone who wants to see three o'clock kickoffs: come to belgium!

'S4P' of Orient Are wrote:Wigan-Chelsea is on Prem Plus, isn't it?

yup

Chelsea are unchanged for the trip to Wigan.

Carlo and JT still haven't recovered from their injury problems.

Joe Cole and Petr Cech are of course, long term injuries.

'S4P' of Orient Are wrote:Wigan-Chelsea is on Prem Plus, isn't it?

yeah that's right
should be a good match, providing mourinho ditches his childish ways on the touchline

This Fulham-West Ham game is boring.
