Memories from White Hart Lane (Tottenham 4-4 Chelsea)
Gary Andrews had never been to a Premiership game before, choosing instead to spend many a cold afternoon watching non-league football. How would he fare at White Hart Lane? Relief was evident on the faces of my travelling companions in the carriage. We’d managed to get the beer in for the journey and had just…
Premier League Predictions: Manchester United to beat Liverpool, Chelsea – Arsenal to draw, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Everton and Aston Villa to win
Gerry McDonnell returns with his weekly betting column on the English Premier League. Even though I was brought up as a Catholic, I have never followed a spiritual path. I blame an over-zealous Priest for my descent into heresy; he was constantly on my back when I was young. If my memory serves me correctly,…
Manchester United move 3 clear of Arsenal, 5 clear of Chelsea, teach Liverpool how to rotate a squad
It’s not time to gloat yet – no way even near that. But after an assured performance by a distinctly second-choice Manchester United backline and a cracker of a game over at White Hart Lane (Tottenham v Chelsea seems to be the new Liverpool v Chelsea, albeit a lot more fun), Manchester United move 3…
Resilient Tottenham damage Chelsea’s title chances
Tottenham Hotspur 4-4 Chelsea English Premier League Spurs fans could have been forgiven their sense of foreboding ahead of this evening’s kick-off.

Almunia at Arsenal has at long last cast off the albatross of Mad Jens Lehmann from around his neck, leaving Lehmann to vilipend and gnash his teeth together like Muttley…
Have Arsenal run out of steam?
Frankie from the SL forum pops the question: 4 Successive draws against Birmingham, Wigan, Aston Villa and Middlesborough. 8 points dropped in just 4 games. Six points dropped against teams battling against relegation. Two very lucky draws in the last 2 home games; equalisers with 5 seconds left against Villa, and with 4 minutes to…
Weekend Predictions: Sunderland to beat Chelsea, Brum to beat Newcastle United, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham to win
Gerry McDonnell returns with his weekly betting column on the English Premier League. There’s life in the old dog…unfortunately Like Wayne Rooney, I’m a lover of the old. I’m never happier than when some wrinkled old seaside-bungalow hogger is regaling me with tales of a bygone age. If my old man is to be believed,…

Why is Lampard worried about his Chelsea contract?
Why is Frank Lampard so upset at not being offered a new contract? At his age and with his talents, he could walk into any team (yes, even Liverpool with their stuffed central midfield) if he were to leave Chelsea. And he wants to stay at Chelsea, then he already has a contract on the…
Do Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool really want Schalke 04 on Friday?
If Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson or Rafael Benitez could hand-pick their clubs’ quarter-final opponents in Friday’s Champions League draw, it’s likely they would take Schalke. Avram Grant might be less inclined to revisit Germany after Chelsea’s backs-to-the-wall 0-0 draw at the Veltins Arena last November, during which the Premiership side were put under serious pressure…
