Well, pardon me for not laughing too loud this week upon hearing a couple of news stories. Diego Maradona interested in managing Aston Villa? has the pint sized Argentinian been given a drugs test? He does know he'd be managing Aston Villa in the heart of Birmingham. Well football is a strange old game after all.
European qualifiers were the games midweek, Tottenham found themselves still within reaching distance of a Champions League group spot. A recovery from a punishing 3-0 deficit to pull it to 3-2. The late second goal should give the London side a great opportunity at White Hart Lane. Failure to progress to the group stages will not only be costly financially, but boasting rights from the Spurs half of North London would be replaced with great joy and stick from the Gooners.
Last week I made some predictions and notably I realised I screwed up by missing out on putting the United score which I backed the reds to win 3-0.
My Prediction Actual Result
Tottenham v Man City 2-2 0-0`
Aston Villa v W.Ham 2-1 3-0
Blackburn v Everton 0-3 1-0
Bolton v Fulham 2-1 0-0
Sunderland v Birmingham 3-1 2-2
Wigan v Blackpool 1-2 0-4
Wolves v Stoke City 2-1 2-1
Chelsea v West Brom 6-0 3-0
Liverpool v Arsenal 2-1 1-1
Man Utd v Newcastle 3-0 3-0
This opening week I got 2 spot on predictions and 5 results. Beat that Lawro
This week I hope to top my great start to the season
Arsenal v Blackpool 3-0
Holloway's Pool brought down to earth
Birmingham v Blackburn 2-1
City maintain an unbeaten start against Fat Sam's dull Rovers
Everton v Wolves 2-2
The Toffees still looking for a first win at home as they gain a point off Wolves who are on 4 points
Stoke v Spurs 1-0
Spurs fail to bounce back against Stoke who get their home record with a 3 point start
West Brom v Sunderland 0-2
Sunderland continue the dismal start for the Baggies
West Ham v Bolton 3-1
The Hammers bounce back after an opening season mauling against Bolton
Wigan v Chelsea 0-4
Wigan continue to fail and Chelsea continue to bag the goals
Newcastle v A.Villa 2-2
The Geordies get their first point of the season against Villa who fail to maximise their post O'Neill era start
Fulham v Man Utd 0-4
Man Utd score a win against another former Man United player managed club.
Man City v Liverpool 1-2
Optimism in the Liverpool camp continues and Roy Hodgson's Liverpool score three points against City's millionaires.
Well lets see if I can improve on the season opener. Can only hope...job at the BBC beckons?
Till next week
