Weekend Review: Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham, Manchester United, Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester City
The top 12 are separated by 3 points, the top 4 are on 10 points and theoretically speaking, Manchester United are only, at most, 5 games off the pace while Chelsea are 3 points off. However, Liverpool are top on goal difference (courtesy of Derby) followed by Arsenal and then Everton, and for these teams,…
Premier League Predictions: Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester United to win
Must be a tough day for managers today. Almost every club is looking to sign or sell players and to add to the drama, they have to prepare their teams for the weekend games as well. This is why managers have assistants to deal with most of the team’s training and preparation and in some…
Normal service resumes in the Premier League
It’s back to familiar terms for Manchester United this weekend as they claimed their first win of the new season, albeit a nervy (and controversial) one against Tottenham. The rest of the fixtures provided their usual entertainment and by now most viewers would have realised that no matter what happens, most of these teams tend…

Premiership Preview: Tottenham, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Liverpool to win, West Ham and Chelsea to lose
Remember the time when you just couldn’t wait for football to come back? Depending on your allegiances, that feeling has either faded fast or reached an all-time high – less than a week after the 07/08 season has started, the future is a bit clearer and as usual, a season of over-achievement and heartbreak awaits….
Tottenham will scrape but win against Derby – seriously!
Tottenham injury list: Berbatov, Lennon, King, Kaboul, Dawson, Bale, Assou-Ekoto and Young-Pyo. 3 best center-backs, best striker, best winger and 3 left backs. It’s almost bad enough to make people feel bad about Tottenham, but after what happened in pre-season I don’t think any non-Spurs fan is feeling the least bit charitable.

By Billy Davies’s own admission, Derby’s squad is currently not fit to survive in the Premiership. It’s a shame because Davies is a good manager, a pragmatic manager who will, with a bit of luck, go on and do well as a manager.
