</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Expect a cracking match as both Merseysiders are fully rested in midweek. Everton almost disrupt City rhythm last time out while Pool are getting back into form after back to back defeats. Everybody expect Suarez & Adam to score big but dont be surprised if the goals coming from the defense though ie Jagielka & Baines. Please be wary on Toffees secret weapon, Royston Drenthe. I guess its a draw here and no clean sheet please.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Current form sees Spurs & Arsenal are having a contrasting turn of events. Only two players (Adebayor & Parker) needed to get back on track with the addition of fit-again Van Der Vaart and once again settled Modric, their ammunition are fully loaded. Meanwhile, two good things for to the Gunners are Van Persie finding his form (albeit needed a red card to assist him) and Ramsey is getting pretty good with Arteta beside him. They are still not convincing defensive-wise and a lot of players are possibly out injured. Seems like a good time to face them eh, Mr Redknapp?. Just put all attacking players from both side and hope for a miracle. Realistically, Spurs have a lot of advantage in their own backyard.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not so famous London derby pitted a new-look QPR against a very resilient Fulham especially at The Cottage. Let's put the facts straight, first Gers are increasingly hard to beat with their only recorded two wins were away, Fulham never lost at home yet but still winless, QPR midfield look rejuvenated with the new signings, the home team maybe a bit tired after a short trip to Denmark and their defense is unpredictable still. I guess its a fourth draw then but I reckon Fulham to get the long-anticipated first win.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These four matches could possibly end with a draw. Wigan are off-form but they're still capable to score the odd goal, the Baggies are looking to get the edge but still not enough while playing away after an European assignment may prove too much for Stoke. Villa & Swans impressive home form are respectable but lack of bite and Newcastle unbeaten form could punish improving Wolves with their water tight defense. Sunderland is Sunderland, fast becoming a yo-yo club. Advantage is on the form teams obviously.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Just keep in mind the most in-form team of the three predicted losers is Norwich who are just recorded back to back wins (Caution on Nani and Welbeck) while Bolton are the worse bunch with five straight losses. On paper, Blackburn are looking a very delicious dish for the Championship-hungry City. Good luck and see you next two weeks guys.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">MANC vs EVE</span> - Facing Bayern away must be in City minds against a tough-tackling undefeated in three Toffees - A home win is a must!;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">ARS vs BOL</span> - Bad fixtures may be the root cause for Trotters demise but not so rejuvenated Gunners are badly need result after the third loss of the season - Not another shocker losing at home rite;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">CHE vs SWA</span> - Mata Torres partnership may explode here but Swans have the potential of not sitting back and attack at will - Trend goes for a home drubbing but I guess the margin will not be more than 2;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">LIV vs WOL</span> - Pool loss of form are perplexing with all their new signings but after two heavy losses at home, Wolves might reconsider their premiership survival - Anfield advantage is so obvious;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">NEW vs BLA</span> - Rovers will again apply their over defensive tactic on the road against the tightest defense in the league, offensive maybe the best defense though - A probable draw but I go for a home victory;</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">WBA vs FUL</span> - The record say it all with one win and four losses in the bag against impressive outfit Cottagers who are still winless in five - I'm hoping for an all out attack for both sides to cancel each other out;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">WIG vs TOT</span> - Spurs are getting some form from new acquisitions specifically and just bear in mind a compact Wigan are no mere pushovers at home - I dont expect another Adebayor drubbing but the resistance is there;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">STO vs MANU</span> - Stoke maybe too focusing on Europe but inside The Brittania is a different matter against the free-scoring devastating United side - The rich in form will carry the defending champion to a definitive result;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">QPR vs AST</span> - This is one hell of a matchup, both defensively assembled and attacking wise they will have no problem in scoring except for the two familiar blokes, Bent & Nzog - I expect QPR to score but no loss for Villa so its a draw then;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">NOR vs SUN</span> - Black Cats must be on a high after scoring for fun last time out but can they slaughter the Canaries who look very different with a bunch of new faces - A very tight match which can go either way, I hope its the away team;</div>Mell fantasyonthegohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07737477395847570058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569167214442317377.post-41278905517261963742011-09-16T13:05:00.000+08:002011-09-16T13:05:52.803+08:00On the Forecast: Gameweek 5<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</span></u></div><div style="text-align: justify;">BLA - Managed to get their first point on away assignment, defense is improving thanks to Scott Dann and not short of attackers which are threatening especially at home;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">ARS - VPersie may have Gervinho back into the side, the spine of the team is looking to get in shape but don't expect a big drubbing like last season;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></u></div><div style="text-align: justify;">FUL - Fluid and very tight at home, Dempsey's attacking quality may diminish if he plays too deep and Zamora is getting to his best;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">MANC - No problem in scoring, defense extremely strong, Silva looks the best bet for all occasion and expect the striking dilemma to continue;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Prediction</span></span> - Tougher resistance albeit another away win;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;"><u>BOL vs NOR</u></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">BOL - Now famously known to attack but still three losses in the row, the consensus is don't too rely on the defenders even though free-scoring Cahill is there;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">NOR - Record shows they are playing much better away regardless of results (2 losses, 2 draws), have to trim down the defensive error while improving the supply lines for the monstrous Holt;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Prediction</span></span> - Trotters to win 3-2;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">MANU - Getting Roon is essential but not captaining him is looking to be more disastrous, goals and assists come from everywhere (beware of whoever playing the wingbacks) in the Theater of Dreams;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">CHE - Mata, Sturridge, Meireles and even Torres are looking to impress AVB here, admirable team depth and they don't have Arsenal's early season problem mind you;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">TOT - I hope Adebayor will be crisis-free to maintain his form, no issue on Parker marshaling the engine room while I'm still waiting Bale to come to life;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">LIV - After two games we can say that Pool are too reliant on Suarez more than other signings, Carroll is nowhere to be seen and defensively they need to fill the gap seriously;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Prediction</span></span> - End to end action which ended with a draw;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">EVE - They need to start scoring from anywhere other than Baines and likewise Baines need to be healthy for them but the upcoming fixtures are nightmarish scary I tell you;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">WIG - They surely not getting relegated (Are they?) but with a respectable backline in store, all they need to do is to turn on the scoring mode, that's all;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Prediction</span></span> - Wigan can only get a draw here;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">WOL vs QPR</span></u></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">WOL - Unexpectedly, they look ordinary without Jarvis (or Spurs are too good), need to take full advantage of the home ground more seriously and complacency is intolerable;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">QPR - Famous signings trying to play together and trying to get the first win (can they?) but unmistakably I do feel they are on the right track, Barton's as captain is a masterclass tactic by the manager;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Prediction</span></span> - QPR to get something away;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">SUN - Time is not on Steve Bruce's side to get the things going, Bendtner has to do better for the real recognition, winless at home this season, for sure not another loss right?;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">STK - A totally dark horse up to gameweek 4 with resolute defenders, defensive shielding by midfielders and a trio of beanpole head-bangers (beanpole may apply to Crouch only), that's compact man; </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow; color: blue;">Prediction</span> - Interesting matchup to slug it out, they maybe satisfied with one point;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">SWA - Maybe this weekend is the day they score the first goal of the season, the real value comes from the middle and wingbacks while the strikeforce still toothless but the home advantage still count though;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">WBA - The Hodgson's ultra defensive mold is getting into completion, offensively balance upfront especially the introduction of Odemwingie but as I said before, their unpredictability is dangerous;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">a) Nasri arrival may effect Silva's output (interestingly Silva had no assists since GW1);</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">b) Taarabt only suitable playing down below (not justified with all QPR's new guys);</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">d) Beware or always be wary of Stoke;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">e) Tevez will surely disrupt the City frontline (same with others if they are starting to get busy);</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">f) Everybody thinks that Arteta is a sure starter while Benayoun is not;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">h) Unexpectedly, Fulham's defense and offense are becoming hard to guess;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">QPR - Registered unlikely first win with the new owner, deserved the tag of the championship champion afterall and Tarrabt quality may diminish with the proposed Barton's arrival;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

All excelled in an away assignment</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Again, missing a penalty doesn't necessarily affect a player especially those who involves in the engine room ie Watson</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Suarez replacing ineffective Carroll like to like</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Formica was not starting for Rovers but Salgado is Salgado</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Unexpectedly Malouda on the bench and Drog seems to be in limbo</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- The familiar Everton's faces started badly especially the expensively overrated Baines, slightly see that coming but dont sell your Evertonians yet</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Arsenal loss, blame it on the inevitable Frimpong's red</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Newcastle defenders are looking good on the cheap same with De Laet</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Welbeck the new star was born, young Devils defense are very resilient at home</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Nzog was too quiet, no Villa's clean sheet and special mention to Gabby</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Klasnic the unexpected star, replacing Elmander with ease</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Michael Vorm continues his fine form and save a penalty</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Wolves strikeforce looked potent with RJohnson as a new captain</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Fulham away misery is set to continue, very busy with European commitment</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>ARS vs LIV</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fab is finally off, Nasri is on the verge while VPersie is now the official captain; Home defense is depleted after the midweek win and Wenger has to make do with anyone in his disposal (for now); Carroll will fancy terrorising the host with his header and direct runs while Suarez's trickery is guaranteed; Pool are looking good at the back and should have no problems here; The Reds are very good at least on paper but still don't ever underestimate master tactician Wenger; A gridlock is expected but there will be goals, no doubt;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>AST vs BLA</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is some uncertainty regarding Given fitness (just make sure your 2nd keeper is playing!); Nzog and Bent looked rusty last weekend, maybe they will get better at home against the Venky boys; Rovers have no problem in scoring but defensively they need both Nelsen and Samba on board; Formica is the talk of the town but honestly they have devilish fixtures ahead; This game will further gives some indication whether Villa's rearguard is impenetrable or not; Home team to win it nicely;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>SWA vs WIG</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A nostalgic moment for the Wigan's coach as he will be visiting his former club; Fresh from the drubbing by cameo man Aguero, the Swans will take some of positives as their amount of passing was enormous and particularly the performance of Michael Vorm (12 saves, 3 points in a 4-0 thrashing!); The passes will definitely turn into a goal at home while Wigan need to sharpen their attack with Rodallega playing from the start; Moses looks promising but bonus points may fancy Watson again; Another draw for Wigan but no clean sheet please;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>EVE vs QPR</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The takeover news of the Malaysian-owned business tycoon may prove as a good distraction for Rangers; I believe their loss was more on the integration of the new players (especially defense) rather than lack of quality so don't ditch Tarrabt yet; Everton are very eager to start their season especially at home after getting a time-off last weekend; Same old personnel for the Merseysiders (not even one signing) as the fit-again Arteta may take some of the kicks from the expensive Baines; They are famously known as a slow-starter but I still go with a definitive win for the Liverpool neighbor;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>CHE vs WBA</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many are predicted Torres will come good in his first home game but so do others; Chelsea is a monster in their home ground and rarely concede; Maybe this is the moment where AVB can start the engine running; But facing a veteran maestro (Hodgson) who knows premiership inside out, there is a slight possibility the host will not have their way; This is the last game for Brums before their fixtures get a bit softer; Anything than a win for the desperate new coach is a heart-wrenching disaster; An effective home win nonetheless;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>BOL vs MCY</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Top of the table clash of the week; Both scored identical scoreline in dismantling not so hopeless oppositions; The main issue now is the potentially explosive Aguero-kun; Firstly, Bolton are at home and they are no Swansea; Cahill will most probably mark him like hell if he plays; Aguero may be the new Tevez but he is not the kicks hogger like his compatriot while Dzeko in the mean time has recently played some decent football; With so much hype on City, underrated Bolton will have nothing to lose; The main beneficiaries will be the familiar one ie Klasnic, Cahill, Davies, Eagles; Their players are attractive but better wait until their brutal schedule finishes; With a plethora of attacking moves, both will fight tooth and nail for a deserved draw;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>MUN vs TOT</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The matchup says it all; Speedy wing play between Young, Bale, Lennon and Nani is expected; VDV is back to his best after their 5-nil demolition last night; But to encounter the Red Devils in their own hell would need more than just plain performance; They never did well here and based on the past record they can only get a draw against the defending champion; I would think that Young prevails in his battle with Nani in terms of creating chances but Rooney FPL price is fully justified nonetheless; Unfamiliar young defense will be facing the Milan conqueror to produce a see-saw match with the host to edge it; Stay tuned on Monday;<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>NOR vs STK</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A rather good start for Canaries as they were the only promoted team that survives the 4-nil onslaught and at the same time managed to get a precious away point; Next assignment is at home and against a bad traveler Stoke, they will take every opportunity; Stoke new look are pretty defensively assembled and I can see other team will find it difficult to get pass their backline; Please note that Huth was not playing in his usual position to accommodate the impressive Woodgate; Their main problem is the finish product while Norwich attackers are having adequate potential to say at least; Another draw for both team;<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>WOL vs FUL</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wolves could continue their fine form after reversing the scoreline of season ending game last May; Fulham are in a devastating form of themselves after staying undefeated since preseason to show that last night European thrashing was no flash in the pan (Dempsey is back with a brace); Their different lineup/style indicates the depth and the flexibility of the new Martin Jol outfit; New signing aka captain Roger Johnson integrates seamlessly into Wolves lineup and finally both Doyle and Fletcher can be played as a front two; I guess 1-1 is the final scoreline; Stay tuned next week, enjoy the free wildcard and good luck:</div>Mell fantasyonthegohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07737477395847570058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569167214442317377.post-52274282234792897702011-08-15T17:06:00.004+08:002011-08-18T11:02:49.086+08:00On the Recap: Overrated Weekend GW1<div siber__q92dpb7seovvtbh5__vptr="4c84280" sourceindex="4"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: justify;">As you all probably know, Official Fantasy Premier League has issued a statement that due to the major glitch in their website ans system during the weekend, they are introducing an extra wildcard this week to soften the complaints and dissatisfaction among the managers. Another significant rule tweak is admin for the private league can make a decision to start the point accumulation from Gameweek 2 ala H2H league where you can determine the starting week. Honestly, its a bless in disguise and I do feel for the managers who got it right on the first weekend. Give some credit to those who planned early!. I think I would decide not to reset the official fantasyonthego league or else we can have a poll. Please leave your comments if any.

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">Football grounds in Great Britain are like cathedrals. Many of them are beautifully designed stadiums. And for many football supporters, especially those who have been with the club for most of their life, they see them as holy places. A place of “worship,” from August through May.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So it’s no wonder that many English football supporters get upset at the mere discussion of these sacred places being renamed with a sponsor’s name. Or the sheer mention of a club deciding to move from its current ground to a new one outside of town.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But if you look back at history, you’ll see that the vast majority of Premier League clubs have played at more than one stadium before settling on the latest ground as their own.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<a name='more'></a>Like many, Arsenal’s nickname goes right back to when the club was originally founded. Way back in 1886, workers at Woolwich Arsenal Armament Factory decided to form a football club called Dial Square. The club would be renamed as Woolwich Arsenal before dropping the prefix in 1913, but their original connection with the armament industry would remain and the names Gunners is now synonymous with the club.</div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span id="more-26520" style="color: white; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Aston Villa – Villans</span></strong></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Not the most fascinating story behind this one.

Another explanation claims that the Trotters nickname originates because people from Bolton have a reputation for being practical jokers. Pranksters are known locally as Trotters.

One rumor suggests that during a tour of France in the 1960s the club were branded the Red Devils due to their red kit and Sir Matt Busby liked the name so much he asked for the club to incorporate a devil in the badge. Another story suggests it stems from local rugby Salford. The rugby club were nicknamed the Red Devils and with United formally training in Salford the nickname transferred over.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></strong></span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Newcastle United – Magpies / The Toon</span></strong></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The name Magpies originates from the clubs iconic black and white striped kit, where as ‘The Toon’ comes from a local pronunciation of town.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></strong></span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Stoke City – Potters</span></strong></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">A fairly straightforward nickname that originates from the large connection with the pottery industry in North Staffordshire.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></strong></span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Sunderland – The Black Cats</span></strong></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">In 1997 when Sunderland moved to the Stadium of Light the clubs supporters were also given the opportunity to vote on the clubs official nickname. With 11,000 votes the club announced their official nickname as ‘The Black Cats’. The historical link with black cats goes way back to the 1800’s with a River Weir artillery base named “Black Cat Battery”. This name reportedly developed after a member of the local militia who was manning the station fled after thinking a black cat was a devil incarnate because of the howling wind and full moon at the time.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Fast-track to 1905 and a black cat was pictured sitting on a football next to the club chairman at the time, and three years later a black cat would appear in the clubs team photo. The fans believed that the animal brought them good luck and in 1937 Sunderland fan Billy Morris took a black cat to Wembley in his pocket, Sunderland would win their first FA Cup trophy that year. The connection grew even further in the 1960s when a black cat lived at Sunderland’s Roker Park ground and was cared for by the club.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></strong></span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Tottenham Hotspur – Spurs/ Lilywhites</span></strong></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Spurs is obviously a shortened version of Hotspur which comes from the clubs connection with Shakespeare character Harry Hotspur.

The popular belief is that the name originated from the baggie shorts that the players wore around in the early 1900s. But club historian Toby Matthews claims: “In its early days The Hawthorns had only two entrances, one behind each goal. On match days the gatekeepers would gather up the takings at each end and be escorted by policemen along the sides of the pitch to the centre line where there was a small office under the stand.</span></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 1.57em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">“The gate money, mostly in pennies, amounted to a considerable sum and was carried in large cloth bags.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Berbatov will be featured in a personal mission to score with every opportunity in the 2nd string United - Blackpool are planning a famous escape at the Old Trafford where the home team are <b>unbeatable </b>this season - Play your CAdam & DJCampbell without fear in the typical gung-ho attacking style as I don't expect Devils to keep a clean sheet also - For sure they will be missed if they are dropped - A tight United win with the additional thriller in store</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wigan will be relying on Nzog, Yayga & Co. to step out and be counted in their do or die mission - No points and you are out - Fortunately for them, this is the best time to visit the Brittania to face the <b>tired </b>legs of Stoke - Since five games ago, I personally feel that they are too good to go down with the kind manager and the quality that they have - For the final time this season, I reckon Wigan to again escape from the deadly drop</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wolves were just experiencing their rare and first back to back wins this season to be fully control of their destiny - While Blackburn must be feeling <b>regret </b>in sacking Allardyce when they are in good position compared to the current - SFletcher are scoring five goals in as many games while Rovers are depending too much on their youngsters and Chris Samba - They are not doing enough for the remaining half of the season while undeniably the United draw was an astonishing feat - Poor Blackburn to rely on others while Wolves escape the drop</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool <b>sudden </b>loss after encouraging form put them in a brink of no European assignment next season - Suarez & Co need to register a win away from home and rely on Spurs result to put them through - Very tough indeed as the Villains just put a sword on the Gunners to record a handsome win at the Emirates - Can Liverpool target, AYoung lend a helping hand? - DBent may has other ideas though, remember his beach ball goal anyone?;D - A draw seems the likely result</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Uninterested Arsenal have to rediscover their vanishing winning <b>mentality </b>in this London derby to put a pressure on City for the 'themselves to blame' third spot - The Cottage was Fulham's fortress until Liverpool crushed them 5-2 but they were not playing bad either in that particular game - But still Dempsey and friends punished 'defensively strong at home' Brums to end their season on a high note - Sorry Arsenal, they have themselves to blame (2nd time mentioning) and have their preseason cut off for the Champs League qualifier - Tough time ahead for Mr Wenger after drawing this</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Champions Elected</b>...Done & dusted; United just need one more point from the Blacks duo (Pool & Rovers) to record a 19th premier league title champion; What can we expect next is 2nd string lineup!; So don't sell your Nanis, Berbatovs & Smallings yet;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ancelotti's Doomed</b>...No cup to show this season means that you are out; 50 million pound down the drain contrasting to what King Kenny do with the money and suddenly they're in Europe; Marvelous; </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Gunned Down</b>...Loss of interest for Gunners after presenting Chelsea a half decent chance for the title; Players exodus are expected with rumors circulating a 20million pound Jose Reina; Realistically can be outrun by Manchester City for the third place if careless; Wenger has a tough job to motivate his uniterested boys;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Happy Citizen</b>...The multimillion side are going to Champs League and nobody can stop them; No issue on Stoke volunatary loss to City this week to go to Europe themselves; As promised, I would highlight some of the 'FA Cup winner go to Europe' issue;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before a loss and a draw last gameweek, Spurs claimed that if City don't get the last Champions league place (fourth via play off) by then, Stoke will let City beat them in order for them to get to Europe in the expense of Harry's men; FA Cup winner is guaranteed a place in Europa league, the conclusion is now that Stoke will get the European spot regardless of the Cup final result this weekend; Another bad news for Harry as Liverpool look poised to beat the hell out of them for the last European spot as the remaining two spots go to Birmingham and Stoke; Spurs current form are relegation form to be honest, they did not took their chances, end of story;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Survival Game</b>...Based on current result, I would say Hammers look doomed; My honest prediction is Blackpool and Blackburn will join them; Fingers crossed ;D;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>WBA vs EVE</b> - Both are safe and and high on form at the moment; Your form men are absolutely Odem and Baines; The only realistic target is improving the table position in order to get the biggest pay from the league; Another high-octane draw; </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>CHE vs NEW</b> - Will Torres start instead of Drog?; The title was too far to reach eventhough they are realistically in the hunt if United lose (In your dreams!); Injury-prone Newcastle will most probably take it easy especially at the fortress Bridge; Record shows that the host will be too much for them; A nice win;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>ARS vs AST</b> - After losing to Stoke, Gunners suddenly need to win this match to protect their third place from impressive City; wenger's has a lot to do in motivating his out of steam troop; Villa typical all out attack may cause some trouble to the leaky backline; A tight win for the home team;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>BIR vs FUL</b> - Relegation form for Brums after winless in four games while Fulham just got defeated inside their home since ages; Motivation is on Birmingham to escape the relegation threat though; Brums famous for their defense while Cottagers are famous in their attacking lineup; No clean sheet is expected here; Home win for impressive BFoster; He deserved it:D;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>LIV vs TOT </b>- The last Europa League spot are up for grab and what an interesting game we have here; Attacking are their forte but Spurs backline are more fragile than Reds; The likes of Suarez, Kuyt & Maxi are huge favourites to replicate previous performance but just beware of chasing last points; For sure this one will not be goalless; Reds to win it in the expense of the Lilywhites;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please dont screw up again Mr Ancelotti by starting Torres - Drog need to be at the top of the attacking formation to fully utilize his predatory instinct - The old spine of Chelsea may have a fair chance here against nervous United - Can the Blues inflict the first defeat in 13 games winning run at their own Old Trafford? - Tough times, possible, realistic and record are there to be broken - May the true champion prevails! - I still think United to wrap it though</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>BOL vs SUN</b> - Bolton are currently on a winning streak for the past five home games - Desperate times for the Black Cats as 3/4 of their first eleven are facing some sort of injury nightmare to the point that Nedum Onuoha is being told to play as a striker in the next game - I'm not judging his attacking experience during his youth but honestly they are in big trouble if DSturridge is fit - Its still a win without Danny</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>NEW vs BIR</b> - Playing in the Magpies fortress - KNolan is back - Both need few points more to rest assured - Gardner is suspended - Poor away form for Brums as they have not taste victory since gameweek 33 - Just take it easy and play for a draw</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>WOL vs WBA</b> - In-form team versus winless in five - After winning away to Villa in March, Wolves are crashing down the table - While Baggies only registered one loss since Hodgson takeover - Another high-scoring draw for Odemwingie</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>STK vs ARS</b> - Gunners were spot on in putting a halt to United march towards the championship - It was the obvious case of 'what if' they put a performance like that against the likes of Pool, Spurs & Bolton - Stoke must be concentrating on the cup final and preserving some of their stars are predictable - Gunners to win and destroy Potters seven games undefeated home record</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4) The three <b>worst </b>relegation candidates performance are Hammers, Wolves & Rovers<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5) Fulham & Stoke looked to <b>secure </b>their premiership stay with a determined display over two games<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6) El-Nino & Dzeko broke their scoring <b>duck</b><br />
<b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">7) Bolton too <b>dependable </b>on Sturridge?<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">8) Goal difference looks <b>vital </b>in the premiership survival<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">9) Assured United performance in Europe for the highly <b>realistic </b>double<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Gameweek 32 Action</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- All bottom three teams lost and Wigan were the only team who played better - West Ham & Wolves looked <b>hopeless </b>- As predicted, Brum and Rovers shared the spoils -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The climber of the week is none other than Hodgson's men who climbed to the top ten in a matter of weeks with <b>unbeaten </b>record still intact -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Villa recorded a rare long-lost clean sheet and Bent was still <b>impressive </b>without scoring - Mid table top performer were the two Merseysiders and Sturridge's Bolton - Such a pity for him to go back to Chelsea -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When everyone banking on Suarez, Carroll registered his arrival in such a <b>style </b>- I believe Suarez hat trick will be coming soon;D -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Manchester 'Craving too much on FA Cup' City <b>galacticos </b>were just lost and jaded - Too inconsistent for a champion material maybe - The Sheikhs might start by removing Mancini though -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fulham acknowledged their loss the unimpressive but effective United - Caution that Nani might be put into action only for the home matches! - Their fate is in their own hands and there is a <b>concrete </b>reason to believe that nobody will stop them -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gunners reinstated their intent on the championship with a laboured win but defensively they still leaky - Lehmann almost refreshed our memories to the <b>doomed </b>night of 2006 Champions League final by catching somebody legs - Realistically, they still in the running - Wait till you know the result with Liverpool this weekend -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chelsea only best player and deserve the bonus was David Luiz - If not for his European <b>ineligibility</b>, they will not facing a back to back defeat against the table front runner - El Nino inability to score is the real case obviously -</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Fixtures </b>summary:-</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">GW33 Doublers : Gunners, <b>Chelsea </b>& Birmingham</div><div style="text-align: justify;">GW33 Blank & GW34 Doublers : Stoke, <b>Wolves</b>, Fulham & Bolton</div><div style="text-align: justify;">GW33 <b>Blank </b>: Manchester City</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
