Premiership Weekend Thread - Back In Business

The Premiership is back in business after a 2 week hiatus

After the international break brought us the delights of yet another victory thrown away by our beloved national team and the perverse pleasure of English failure the Premiership is back again this weekend!

Derby v Chelsea, 17:15 Chelski
Everton v Sunderland, 15:00 Everton
Man City v Reading, 15:00 Citeh

Sunday, 25 November 2007
Fulham v Blackburn, 16:00 Blackburn
West Ham v Tottenham, 13:30 Tiny Tots

I'm predicting a shock draw against Wigan for Arsenal. The international break has not been kind, claiming Hleb, Flamini, Diaby and Gilberto along with a banned Fabregas and a still slightly injured RVP. Man Utd should easily account for Bolton, I'm gonna go for a boring 4-0 victory. Repeat what I've just wrote except sub in Chelsea for Man Utd and Derby for Bolton. Elsewhere Everton, Citeh, Pompey and Villa are good value for wins. I think Pool will chalk up a cagey 1-0/2-1 win over Newky.

As an aside; for the betting man amongst us;
Arsenal 1/7
Man Utd 1/2
Chelsea 2/7
>The treble works out ~Evens and going by the formbook, thats practically free money.

Pompey 11/8
Everton 8/13
Man City 8/13
Liverpool 1/1
Spurs 6/4

> My advice: Pick two out of each group and stick them in a lucky 15. My choices would be Man Utd+Chelsea+Pompey+City, €15 returns €51.
