EPL, Old Firm, Promotions, and More


Some choice games this weekend I think.

My Saturday game of choice would probably be the relegation 6 pointer Hull City and Stoke City. either team wins and it will help them survive. Stoke wins and they are going to be safe I think.

Tony Pulis is doing a great job the second half of the season, Etherington, Beattie, and co. have been playing strong since the transfer window closed. To me Beattie has be an impact signing with the crucial goals he has scored. I watched Liverpool play them at the Britannia Stadium, that atmosphere is bar none the best I saw in any English Stadium.

Sunday is Manchester Derby time. 3 points United! Regardless of Robihno or Ireland. I will take United.

Also the Semi-Final Losers: Chelsea v Arsenal play each other. Arsenal will try to get pay back for the FA Cup Semi loss but I don't see it with a determined Chelsea side who are playing for Guus Hiddnik like they were playing for Mourhino.

The Old Firm Derby(see pic), interesting stat about that last two have been won by the road team. Expect the same here as the Hoops go for another title and automatic Champions League Qualification.

Maurice Edu: please Bob Bradley, take the damn player to the Confederations Cup, start him behind Bradley and leave it. This kid is for real, taking advantage of the poor judgement of Barry Ferguson.

Preston North End and Sheffield United drew one-one today at Deep Dale. I didn't even know Setanta showed that in the USA but they did so I watched. Advantage Sheffield to get back up.

Burnley play Reading, obviously I like Reading because of the Marcus Hannahmen prediction. That is all with that.

MLS:
Toronto(don't really care) v DC- please DC justify my support.

Houston v Dallas- the "Texas Derby"- Take Houston, Brian Ching played for old Sounders.

Columbus v Kansas City- I take Wiz because they had a banner of the Special 1 a couple weeks ago in there supporters end...very nice.

Chivas v Real Salt Lake- Cbivas has been winning don't see why it wont continue.

Chicago v New England- after last week the Fire fans and the team are turning into another team to hate for me. 5 draws in 7 games and they think there SH*T don't stink. Start winning games and get back to me. I could care less about there "undefeated record".

In Spain: Valencia v Real Madrid could be fun. With Madrid trying to bounce back from the 6-2 ass kicking they got from Barca. Also Valencia is going to probably make the Champions League then have a fire sale because the team is riddled in debt. Bye to David Villa, David Silva, Joaquin, and the rest of those great attacking players.

Barcelona v Villarreal: interesting match up I like Villarreal but I don't think Senna, Rossi, Capdavelia, and Co. can handle Messi, Eto'o, Henry, Ineista, Xavi, and Co.
