Friday Fuzz, Football, predictions and news

Hello everyone,

Sorry there was no blog yesterday - after work I ended up in Camden and now my head is a little bit fuzzy. Lovely jubbly.

So firstly, lets have a look at the premier league predictions and previews for this weekend....

Arsenal v Blackpool: This should be a pretty simple win for Arsenal who have seemingly spent all week trying to not pay enough for players. Blackpool will probably still be on a bit of a high and I expect them to score. Hoping for a boring thrashing to be honest!

Kingy 3 v 1, Buttsy 5 v 0, Haddow 4 v 0, Lawro 3 v 0.

Birmingham v Blackburn: Can this be a good game? I'm not sure....Blackburn started well against Everton last week and the Brums clawed back against Sunderland.

Kingy 1 v 1, Buttsy o v 1, Haddow 0 v 0, Lawro 2 v 1

Everton v Wolves: I think this will be a really good game, maybe with Wolves grabbing a lead. Should be good Match of The Day viewing come Saturday night!

Kingy 2 v 1, Buttsy 2 v 0, Haddow 3 v 0, Lawro 2 v 0

Stoke v Tottenham: Should also be a good game. Stoke have got a chance to capitalise on a tough Euro trip in the week for Spurs - again could be a mid-Match of The Day classic!

Kingy 2 v 2, Buttsy 2 v 0, Haddow 1 v 1, Lawro 1 v 1

WBA V Sunderland: I don't really have much to say on this at this stage of the season. Don't really know why I've gone for that prediction. Sure to provide some talking point...surely!?

Kingy 0 v 3, Buttsy 1 v 1, Haddow o v 1, Lawro 1 v 1

West Ham v Bolton: I almost want to change my prediction to a draw, but I will stick by it cos I'm sick like that. Could be an awful game, could be a pleasant surprise...

Kingy 1 v 2, Buttsy 0 v 0, Haddow 1 v 0, Lawro 2 v 0

Wigan v Chelsea - Simply a thrashing.

Kingy 1 v 4, Buttsy 0 v 3, Haddow 0 v 2, Lawro 0 v 2

Newcastle v Villa: This should be an entertaining fixture. The atmosphere will be electric in St James Park and there are two teams with a lot to prove going head to head. Now I've said that I bet it is rubbish.

Kingy 1 v 2, Buttsy 1 v 2 , Haddow 1 v 2, Lawro 2 v 1

Fulham v Manchester United: United's bogey team Fulham will be looking to make it three in row against Fergie's team at the Cottage.

Kingy 0 v 2, Haddow 1 v 2, Buttsy 1 v 2, Lawro 0 v 2

Man City v Liverpool: Best game of the weekend surely? Cannot wait for some great MNF action

There we go. Now that is out the way just a quick word on a few of the big stories from the last couple of days. William Gallas now seems destined for Spurs. Comparisons with the Sol Campbell move are laughable. I will probably rant about that on Tuesday's podcast!

Liverpool are still looking for an owner. They need this to be resolved soon because the longer it drags on the more uncertainty there is - an uncertainty is not good for Liverpool right now. Roy is doing a decent job for now, he needs a decent boss.

Nemanja Vidic has signed a new contract at United which is great for them. He is a very solid player and will be part of their first eleven for years. You do have to wonder who will be his long term partner though, Ferdinand is looking shaky when he actually gets on the pitch.

Quite humorously, Alberto Aquilani might be loaned out from Liverpool - that is madness, how unhappy must he be? Woy must see him as Rafa's signing so he might be a bit isolated. Shame for him really.

And finally.....Crystal Palace have signed Edgar Davids. This is amazing and I want to wait till the podcast to really get my head around this one. Crazy shit, but could be a stroke of genius by the eagles.

Crazy Times, Lets hope for a good weekend across all four divisions!

Off to a wedding now, have a nice day!
