A play-off place for the winners. And as things often are at Selhurst Park,
it turns out to be embarassingly easy for City. 0-4.

Wilko says today there's no reason why Sunderland can't beat Man U
tomorrow.
I think I am one of many in the country who disagree - you could pick
a reason from thin air, but the obvious one is that Sunderland are
crap without Reyna and with Wilko in charge.
3-0 (at least)
>==

A crunch clash for both sides, though Ranieri may have undone all that
work put in by his side by chopping and changing so much over the
congested Christmas season.
For once the blues were looking consistent, here's to hoping they can
retain some of that form at Highbury...a Chelsea win would certainly
open things up some more in the title race.
2-2

Beattie will have a point to prove after his disallowed goal, and with
an England match approaching. I wonder how well he'd partner Owen in
a Three Lions shirt?
Tottenham otoh will also have a point to prove after defeat at St.
James' Park. They'll find it hard going though - Strachan's side have
proved difficult to beat.

Another London derby, ffs. Still, Charlton are still pressing on and
have a good record in London matches. WHU continue their slump to
become one of those clubs who everyone says is too good to be

season?
2-0

Rooney makes a 1st 2nd consecutive start for this match as Campbell's
out with an ankle problem.
City will be looking to build on a couple of wins over yuletide, but
Goodison isn't the easiest of hunting grounds.
I reckon Moyes' lot will recapture some of the form that had people
talking a month ago.

Newcastle stand to lose a number of regular starters for this one, but
Liverpool's recent form won't threaten them too harshly.
I thought 'pool played quite well against Arsenal, with the 2 banks of
4 holding positions we've come to expect from Houllier's men. In this
match, however, they won't be suffering from the controversial - but
imo, fair - penalty award.
1-2
>==
>Wolves v Derby County
A side from the Prem last year against a side who has famously never
been up there. Our recent form has been shite, and the 2nd half
against Bradford last week was the worst I'd seen us play all year.
We need a result here to boost confidence ahead of meeting Newcastle
in the FA Cup 3rd round, but with Sturridge joining Blake on the
treatment table, it could be tough.
Derby's recent form has been surprisingly poor.
Hopefully Ndah will start - I've always rated him and he showed his
class in the goal against Bradford.
1-0

David and Goliath, this one. Well, except David plays for Man U. But you get
the idea. Sunderland's best bet will be to put the football in a sling, and
sort of "luzz" it at the goal from a distance of about fifty yards, and then
run away. With any luck, it might just hit Fabian Barties sqaw in the nuts,
and he'll have to be stretchered off. Then, Sunderland fans dressed as teddy
bears could swing logs down from the stands on big bits of rope, and squish
RVN in the head. Everyone else could just run round and round the remaining
United players tying their legs together in the process, so that they all
fall over.
Then, and here's the clever bit, Sunderland counter-attack on the break. No
doubt Wilko will have something a little more orthodox in mind, though, and
an easy United win looks likely.
3-0
> ==
> Arsenal vs Chelsea
What a difference a game makes. Chelsea, wearing the proverbial fire-pants
for much of the season, make piggery-jokery with the team sheet and the form
goes out the cat-flap. Ranieri must be kicking himself in the back of his
mind, as Chelsea become the seventeenth team this season to make a crisis
out of drama. Still, it's a table-top cockney blarney and anything could
happen.
2-2

It's been a week of up's and down's for Christian Ziggia. One minute, he's
the greatest player that ever lived (and a snap at 1.31 million), the next,
his balls have swelled to the size of a bus and his brains are full of
kidneys. At one point, he was pronounced dead for over thirty minutes, and
claimed to have experienced "travelling down a tunnel with a light at the
end of it, and being beckoned by God to play better" but manager Glen Hoddle
stated that this was in fact the day before, in training, and was a standard
drill for defenders. I asked Hoddle to explain that to me, and do you know
what he said?
"He died and went to heaven, Ron, then he came back. They all do, every
Friday morning. It helps them to keep their shakra open under pressure.
Maybe Ziege just did a bad foul on someone in a previous life."
What do you say to something like that? I just turned round, and walked off.
It was all I could think of.
1-1
> ==
> Aston Villa vs Bolton Wanderers
Definitely _not_ a dry Blackthorn day for Graham Taylor. What I really want
to know, though, is, is Villa forward Dion Dublin is any relation to soul
diva Dionne Warwick? It's been bugging me for years. Still, no time for all
that now as Bolton walk on by the Villa defence.
1-3
> ==
> Blackburn vs Middlesbrough
This game doesn't mean dribbley-twat to me, but I've nothing to recommend
this week (the thread's too late for Spinal Tap), so it'll have to be
classic lyric time again. Today, it's Mr Stephen Partick Morrisey, from his
superb "How Soon Is Now?"
"You shut your mouth,
And taste the length of my iron rod,
Cos I'm a hard rockin' mutha
on the edge of the law,
And when I give you lovin'
you'll be begging me for more,
Just like everybody else does."
Okay, so that wasn't the real lyric, but you have to admit that version
would have been better.

I asked Tenor Fly from the Freestylers how he thought Man City might contain
young Mooney for ninety minutes, and do you know what he said?
"Ribi-dibi-dibi-dibi-do-bah-dey, Ron, yes yes yes, my selekta!"
Now, if you ask me, that's more relevant than anything Keegan would have
come out with.
2-1
> ==
> Fulham vs West Brom
Proper Barney Rubble match, this one. Fulham will probably want to rock down
to electric avenue for most of the first half, and then they take it higher.
Sounds good on paper, but West Brom won't go down without a fright and we'll
most likely see the honours evened by the end. Or not.
1-1
> ==
> Leeds United vs Birmingham City
I asked Terry Venables if he would consider selling Fowler to Man City when
the window opens. Do you know what he said?
"Goody gumdrops, Ron, easy as pie. We give 'em Fowler, get the money, then
we do 'em and we get Fowler back and leggit with the money, the player _and_
the suitcase full of rubies. It's what you call a heist, Ron."
Not sure if that really answers my question, to be honest, but it's good to
see he's cheered up a bit.
2-0
> ==
> Newcastle United vs Liverpool
I asked Gerald Houllier if any of his players have ever done anything wrong
at any point in their careers, and do you know what he said?
"No, Ron, I've asked all of them and they said they haven't. All my players
are good, honest people who would never do anything wrong."
Can't say I'm convinced.

I'm looking forward to it already. Hey Chan, when and how did you come
up with WSC? I've always wondered that. Well, not always. I've only
just started wondering about it today, to tell you the truth.
> Man Utd vs Sunderland
Does anyone go out on New Year's Eve anymore? Well, I know loads of
people do but I mean, does anyone who's _not_ a twat go out on New Year's
Eve anymore? I'm not sure they do. I know I can't be arsed anymore and
tbh, I see myself as something of a generational spokesman.
3-1
> Arsenal vs Chelsea
Chelsea never beat Arsenal, do they? Football's weird like that. A week
ago, I'd have predicted Chelsea to finally break the jinx here but then they
went and picked up one point out of six, leading me to believe they're
hitting their bad spell. Well, after this match, they are. They'll win this
one. Or they might not. But I think they will. No, I've changed my mind.
They won't.
1-1
> Southampton vs Tottenham
Know what I hate? Teenagers who pass their driving test on the first go. That
annoys me. They're so smug about it, aren't they? They think that makes them
better than me. Well, it doesn't. I'd like to think we don't have any of those
first-time cunts in this group. I mean, so what if I completely fucked it up the
first time? And then fucked it up fractionally less the second time. So what?
It's the third time that counts. Nobody likes a first-time passer.
1-1

This is my betting tip of the week. Bolton are a ridiculous 11/4 to win this one.
That's just stupid. Take it before the bookies realise you're stealing easy money
from them.
0-1

Hey, how come nobody filled in for me on prediction duty while I was
away last week? I know the predictions wouldn't have been as scarily
accurate as mine but it's the thought that counts and I'd do it for any one
of you as I have in the past. Just ask that nice Horowitts boy.

If I had to spend a week in the jungle with any two celebrities, I'd choose
Sandra Bullock and Fred Savage. This would ensure that I'd have a little
glamour and feminine charm to keep me ticking over in the sexual needs
stakes, as well as having Sandra there to chat to.

Yeuch. A match so ugly it could get a job as manager of Oldham. I don't
care about this match and would much prefer to recommend. Ashcroft's
new single was released on Monday. It's the terrific "Science of Silence"
and I know you all downloaded it when I initially recommended it but go
out and buy the single. For me. And also, someone bought me The Very
Best of Marvin Gaye for Christmas. If you've got any gift vouchers left
over, get it. There's millions of sublime tracks on it. You won't get better
value anywhere.
0-1
> Leeds United vs Birmingham City
So, Milner is the new Rooney, is he? And Rooney's the new Owen, who
was the new Fowler, who was the new Rush. I hate overachieving kids.
Like that antiques expert boy who was on Wogan and then became a
woman a couple of years ago. Or the guy who was moved up to our
class when we were about eight. We hated him. 'Course, he got sent
back at the end of the year and is now renowned for crying when he only
got 19/20 in a spelling test. Good times.
3-1
> Newcastle United vs Liverpool
I did like that whole "Turn £1 into £500" thing I had going a couple of weeks
ago. That was great. But I'm always keen to innovate so I won't be doing
that again. Instead, I've come with a much better idea. It's called "Turn £2
into £500" and by the end of the season, if you follow my advice, chances
are that your £2 will be worth £500. And to start us off, we'll put out £2 on
Leeds to beat Birmingham at 4/7 as I'm not in the habit of turning down free
money. See me again before the weekend and we'll put the winnings on
some FA Cup certainty.

Sorry for the long delay but its taken me 3 days to find our who Fred Savage
is. Only Overanalyse seemed to have the answer.
If you must do the Savage thing couldn't you at least give Bullock her
dignity back and spitroast her with Savage? Mind you, chats with her would
be out of the question unless you were at the front. Whilst at first I was
uncomfortable with the notion of shagging Savage and using Bullock for chats
I have now seen his picture and must admit he is the kind of man that turns
even a man's head. Not that I'm a sexual of the homo variety you understand.
I've checked the Overanalyse code and I'm sorry to say you're clean. Much
more work is needed if you are to achieve one of my bloat gifs on your site

It would hardly be the first time this season that Robert has wildly

That's what it's there for. Fred Savage is a genius. Perhaps some of the
younger posters on the group know him better for his role in Goldmember
but for the rest of us, Kevin Arnold is the single greatest character in TV
history.
