Premiership 2007/08

[therockbox]

It's usually one of the worst days of the season, both games tend to be pretty dire. Can't see that changing this year either, none of the teams are going to want to slip up so everyone will be overly cautious.

[Baddar]

I don't wanna sound like a grumpy old man but does anyone else feel this "GRANDSLAM SUNDAY" malarkey Sky have been pushing for the past few years is pathetic. It's as if they're trying to Americanize it.

The games are usually boring.

Before the game, Andy Gray (along with everyone else at Sky) do their best to big the games up, like they're going to be brilliant. Once they kick-off, and the game isn't really living up to expectations, (as most people knew they wouldn't) Gray comes out with stuff like "well, you know both sides would love to take a draw here at whatever stage of the season. Get this one over with, and then back to business with the other games."

I know it wouldn't be the case this season with Liverpool needing to get 4th, and Chelsea catching United/Arsenal up, but he'd still come out with something like that.

[brenchill]

I know they're always boring, my problem lies with Sky throwing the tag of "Grand Slam Sunday" onto it as if it's the Superbowl or something. They'll all cancel eachother out and we'll be given the excuse that all the managers are "tactical estute". Or on the other hand, Liverpool will be all over United until they get a 90th minute corner and one of the center backs will get a tap in after a scramble for a 1-0 win.

[Baddar]

Lol, Newcastle.

...Once again.

They'll need to improve quite a bit in the 2nd half if they want anything from this game.

[FireDoughnut]

Just did the predictor.

And ended up with that. As a Man U fan I'm a little surprised that I picked us to only win by goal difference, although I think we will drop some points around the league before the season end.

Also, I think I went mad with my West Ham love.

EDIT: I think I forgot a score between West Ham and Portsmouth

Hmm, just did this thing........

My hate for Newcastle shows no bounds.....oh and Arsenal as well

Although I also have rovers finishing 9th and not getting Europe.....interesting

[brenchill]

St. Andrews has been raided in the investigation into 'Corruption in Football' . I bet Karen Brady's been banging agents left, right and center.

[Zaz]

Same old Chelsea...

If Keane was yellow'd for dissent, shouldn't have Cole received a yellow for the tackle AND one for dissent? He went way over the top whilst Keane just said a few words (though I guess it does depend on what Keane said).

[Zaz]

KEANE!

What a strike!

We NEED a new keeper though

Edit: Oh drat you, Berbatov

Have I got this right? Spurs, Villa and Chelsea have all had two 4-4 draws this season. Spurs have drawn 4-4 with Villa & Chelsea, Villa have drawn 4-4 with Spurs & Chelsea, Chelsea have drawn 4-4 with Villa & Spurs? If that's right, we have the most entertaining triangle in football >_>

[Summers]

We're the best, most enteraining teams in football.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Boring boring everyone else.

[stokeriño]

Does West Ham's recent fondness for 4-0 losses mean that they're exactly half as entertaining?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

You've heard it here first - Keegan's first Newcastle victory will be on 20th April when Newcastle beat Sunderland 3-2.

Very entertaining - I did it all in one go so didn't see the table until I'd completed the fixtures.

So what does this table mean?

Firstly as a fan I only see Spurs losing one more game in a very nice last eight games - last day at home to Liverpool.

Derby continue to fail but the gap between eleventh place West Ham and twelfth Reading is massive which just goes to show how open the relegation battle has been this year, with one point spread between the six above relegation.

Middlesbrough avoid relegation last game of the season with a battling home victory against faltering Man City.

Birmingham also avoid final day relegation as Bolton run into Chelsea who nick second place at the last minute from Arsenal who go and draw away at Sunderland.

Everton, Pompey and Villa continue to do well, Man City and Blackburn show off their usual end of season slump, Spurs show off their usual end of season charge and West Ham are West Ham, winning some, losing some, and getting a point away at Man Utd. Interestingly in my table Spurs get fewer points than in FD's but finish higher.

Liverpool's good run continues, Man Utd just don't really slip up with more than a draw (all their tough games seem to be at home), Chelsea fight to the end and Arsenal perform similarly to Chelsea but end up drawing a couple as the end of season takes it's toll on their team who make it to the Champions League semis.

[Summers]

Wrong thread.

Worthwhile post.. Hm, lol at Blues being raided.
