Okay, a little behind on actual results. Here are my picks for Sunday:


Southampton V Fulham = 2-2
Liverpool V      Stoke City = 1-1
Tottenham V Aston Villa = 2-1
Newcastle V Man Utd = 1-2



I was going to say WBA would win over QPR, but decided that QPR would sneak a draw. That would have been 6 for 6.

Time for the bookies, me thinks!

Quoted from irish eyes Tottenham v Aston Villa 35-0(but probably closer to 4-0)

The first score looks about right!

Quoted from alffy So my Saturday predictions were awful again lol.  I would like to say, Palace are 4th in the Championship!  Another great comeback, I'm genuinely excited by Palace at the moment.

Mine wasn’t too bad but I just couldn’t get the right score, was close with a couple.

Good on Palace, what a thriller that game was. I heard there was some racism going on in the championship yesterday but I wasn’t surprised to hear where it came from.

Quoted from Andrew Going into Sunday, then, the leaderboard goes a little something like this: Mark - 7 Andrew - 5 Alf - 4 Coop - 4 Lawro - 4

Thanks for putting Lawro last, Andrew. Mark top! I want a recount.

Quoted from CoopBazinga I heard there was some racism going on in the championship yesterday but I wasn’t surprised to hear where it came from.

That's why most football hooliganism films are about Millwall.  No smoke without fire, as they say.

I know this is the premier league and lower leagues thread but it’s all about football in general right.

So in saying that, just thought I would throw out a prediction for what is probably the biggest showdown this weekend… El Clasico.

The big one between what are probably the two best teams in the world at the moment who happen to have the best two players as well in Messi and Ronaldo.

I’m going for Barcelona to win 3-2 even without any recognizable central defenders (believe upon writing this that it will be Mascherano and Song as the pair at the back)

I just think the little Argentine magician will prove too much and they will scrape over the line. Either way, this fixture normally is something special so it’s too bad I’ll be tucked up in bed – almost 2 in the morning here by the time it starts.

Villa 0-0 at half-time so maybe it will only be 30-0 by full time, Mark.

Looking forward to this match, my third of the day lol.

Yeah I'm top.... This was for money right?.... Please make all cheques(I even used the english spelling) out to the " Mark Moore school of drinking" it helps young kids get off the streets and into bars where they belong.

Mark

Checks in the post, Mark.

Quoted from irish eyes Mark Moore school of getting off in the streets where I belong. Yeah, I'm all top for the English

I'll be sure to send it first class, looks like you could do with the money. What's worse is you seem to like the English.

Well done, Mark - I did pretty rubbish but at least Villa didn't lose 35-0.

It's now an International break so will have to wait a few weeks to get the predictions going again.

Speaking of 35-0, England playing San Marino this weekend. Every strikers dream opponent.

I would love to play England every week too

touché!

I remember watching England play San Marino back in '93, I think, and they scored after about 8 seconds.  I remember it well, very well, I was a school kid but I remember it.  I said 'For F+#ks sake!' very loudly. lol.

Yeah, I remember that game too, Alffy. England ended up winning 7-1 but if I remember correctly they had to win by 7 clear goals so the only word you could really say was... bollocks! They also had to hope either Holland or Poland lost I think. Suffice to say that England never went USA 94.

England lost in Holland 2-0 but Koeman, who scored, should have been sent off for a professional foul on David Platt.  I'm still bitter. lol

Only good thing was Graham Taylor got sacked.  USA 94 was my favorite World Cup, despite us not been there.  It started the day, actually night, of my last exam.  Sleepless nights followed as the matches were on at like 2am.

Quoted from Alffy USA 94 was my favorite World Cup, because of us not been there

c'mon Alffy, you gotta support your own country

Yeah, the 94 WC was great, alffy. If not for the utterly dull final I would rate it in my top 5.
