EPL 2012/13

Swansea,Liverpool and Spurs

Before anyone accuses me of bias, I expect Sh1ty to win comfortably but Sunderland unbeaten away and with the tough Euro game last midweek which often has an affect I just thought I'd take the chance... my miniscule trebles n up for the weekend...

06 Oct 2012 - Man City v Sunderland - Draw 1-1 @ 10/1
06 Oct 2012 - Wigan v Everton - Everton 2-1 @ 15/2
06 Oct 2012 - Swansea v Reading - Swansea 3-0 @ 14/1
06 Oct 2012 - Chelsea v Norwich - Chelsea 2-0 @ 6/1
06 Oct 2012 - West Brom v QPR - 2-0 @ 17/2
06 Oct 2012 - West Ham v Arsenal - Draw 1-1 @ 13/2
07 Oct 2012 - Southampton v Fulham - Southampton 2-1 @ 17/2
07 Oct 2012 - Liverpool v Stoke - Draw 1-1 @ 15/2

My "complete idiot" bet would be West Brom to win 5-0 at 100/1
and to make a patent combine it with Swansea to win 5-0 (100) and Everton to win 5-1 (100)
So best you all get on an atc... QPR, Wigan and Fulham! <

AC Milan @ 15/10 tomorrow...

The fixture Wimbledon were dreading became a reality on Tuesday night when MK Dons beat non-league Cambridge City 6-1 in their first-round replay.

Next month's clash will be the first time the teams have met since the original Wimbledon, FA Cup winners in 1988, were relocated to Milton Keynes 10 years ago.

AFC Wimbledon, who formed in 2002 in the wake of that controversial move and have since been promoted five times to reach League Two, have already said they will grudgingly fulfil the fixture.

But Simon Wheeler, chairman of the Independent Wimbledon Supporters Association, will not be there to see it.

Wheeler said: "This has reopened a lot of scars. We never wanted this to happen and frankly I feel numb. I won't be going and I know lots of other fans won't be going. Personally I would rather take my girlfriend's mother to the garden centre than go to that game.

"Other fans will have to take a long look at themselves and make a personal, informed decision. We'll talk to the fans and to the club.

"We didn't ever want this to happen but it does highlight the phenomenal success of AFC Wimbledon from having had everything ripped out."

MK Dons chairman Pete Winkelman has described the historic meeting as a "potentially fantastic tie"

But Wheeler added: "MK Dons might say how much they are looking forward to the game but actually they are probably rather embarrassed.

"The frenzy of support Pete Winkelman had envisaged has not materialised and frankly they have an identity crisis. They still call themselves Dons, not Milton Keynes.

"But we have to fulfil the fixture. I believe a group of AFC Wimbledon players will play the game then get back on the bus to Wimbledon and carry on with our season. The result does not matter. We've already won just by being in the Football League"

---

Newcastle v Man City away win
Liverpool v Villa home win
Man United v Sunderland home win
Norwich v Wigan home win
QPR v Fulham draw
Stoke v Everton draw
Spurs v Swansea away win
WBA v WHU home win
Reading v Arsenal away win (playing Mon eve)
Postp Chelsea P - P Southampton

Wigan v Arsenal tough to call as in the past few years (last season exception) Arsenal have struggled at Wigan. Arsenal should win as their league form of late is not too bad. Arsenal 2-1

Man City v Reading. Reading down at the bottom and dont look as if they will get out of it if they continue playing 4-4-2 home and away. Cant see anything but a big Man City win. 6-1

Newcastle v QPR. Both sides having a shit season. QPR will be very confident after securing their first win of the season last week. Newcastle very unsettled with a few of their top class midfielders out injured and Ba wanting to leave. A draw for me

Southampton v Sunderland. The Saints play very well at home and with Sunderlands poor away form (they did beat 10 man Fulham away a few weeks ago). Southampton 3-1

Spurs v Stoke. Spurs blow hot and cold. They usually drop points against teams that they ought to beat and Stoke fall into that bracket. Stoke have conceded the least goals this season (13) so they must be doing something right. A 1-1 draw

WBA v Norwich. This could be the match of the day as both sides love attacking and after stuttering after a great start WBA looked ok last week. Norwich have beaten Man United and Arsenal this season. WBA to edge it 3-2

WHU v Everton. Should be an entertaining match as Everton will have a go at them. West Ham are doing well and with Fellani out for Everton I see a 2-1 West Ham win

Liverpool v Fulham. Fulham not too hot on the road. Liverpool to win 3-0

Swansea v Man United. Last season United won 1-0 History tells us that United play well in England over the festive season but this game is in Wales thus a narrow 1-0 win for Swansea or a draw

Chelsea v Villa. Chelsea were brilliant in the 2nd half against Leeds on Wednesday in scoring 5 times. Villa played well last week and did beat Chelsea at Chelsea 3-1 last season. I cant see a repeat result. Chelsea 3-1

Boxing Day

Arsenal v West Ham not on as the greedy tube train drivers who earn well over the National average want more than they were offered on a holiday are on strike

Everton v Wigan. Wigan put up a good show against Arsenal and were unlucky to lose whereas Enverton received a helping hand from a very poor decision by the ref in sending off Cole of West Ham in their match. Everton will win this one 3-1

Fulham v Southampton, Fulham have no form at all and Southampton are pretty poor. A draw?

Man U v Newcastle. Newcastle at last won when they beat QPR and will take some confidnece into the match but I doubt if that will help. Man U to win by 3

Norwich v Chelsea. Since coming back from Japan Chelsea have been on fire scoring 13 goals in two games. Norwich have beaten Man U and Arsenal at home so they will feel that they have a chance. Chelsea to win 3-1

QPR v WBA This is a must win for QPR which I think will happen as they are not too bad at home 2-1 to QPR

Reading v Swansea. Reading very unlucky not to get at least a draw with Man City yesterday as they should have had a penalty and Citys goal was a bit dubious. I can see a high scoring game here. 4-3 to Swansea

Sunderland v Man City. Man city not looking to good of late. They will remember that last season they lost in this fixture with the last kick of the ball. Cant see Sunderland holding out. 2-0 for Man City

Villa v Spurs. Not many sides can come back from a 8-0 loss in the space of two days. Spurs to win 3-0

Stoke v Liverpool. Easiest game to predict. 0-0

Redknapp has fined Boswinga who QPR thankfully took from Chelsea 2 weeks wages for refusing to sit on the bench
against Fulham last week.Incredibally that is £130,000.
That player being on £65,000 a week is unreal,he is woeful.QPR have a maximum capacity of 18,000 for their home games.
I really feel for the owner who has been taken in terribly by Mark Hughes in agreeing with he's signings.
Cisse is another high earner who after getting smacked in the face by Clint Hill at training as decided to eat he's post training lunch
in he's car on he's own.CH who cares about the club couldn't take the lack of effort and messing around by Cisse and walloped him after a heated exchange.
They are doomed.

Hughes messed up QPR by signing all the duds that could not make it at other clubs. Hughes is the only one laughing as his payout must have been at least £2 million. I have always liked QPR as they are the closest club to been a family club. The ground, although small in comparison to most, is a proper football one. Fans very close to the action and one of the easist grounds to get into. Just a short walk from Holland Park tube (although the surrounding area not to good) The Springbok bar is close to the ground so has a bit of South African to it.

3 to 1 spurs to win bt at least 2 goals looks good value . If Ruiz and Sidwell return for Fulham 17/20 outright looks good or as well as the 2/1 to win by 2 goals or more.Thoughts?

QPR v West Brom – Draw 1-1 @ 6/1
Reading v Swansea – Swansea 3-1 @ 18/1
Sunderland v Man City – Man City 3-0 @ 10/1
