Heavily concentrated in the north west and the midlands. No southern softies. I looked up the opening day matches. Villa drew 1-1 at Wolves. Everton best Accrington 2-1 at a place called Anfield. Yes Anfield used to be the home of the toffees 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have thrown Bolton in. But its interesting. Most of those sides yo-yo through the leagues. Only Everton have been top flight since start of the Premier League and Im not sure if they have ever been relegated, will need to check that. North London Derby was a good ugly match, if it had finished 0-0 it would have been fair. I think if Romero complained about the push then VAR would have chopped it off. But Spurs have a some problems, they were so poor in the final third. Johnson is a good winger but no end product and Solanke looked out of his depth. At least my 2-1 Newcastle prediction finished off a poor weekend of predictions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do we know, eh? Everton have been relegated twice. Last time was 1950/51. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 850 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Lets see if last week was just an off day. Villa will be favourites in the midland derby but will they have a Euro hangover? Huge games at Leicester and Southampton. Plus big pressure on Spurs. For the biggy on Sunday I dont see Arsenal going there and attacking. Their defence has been immense but this might be the game where they have a slip up and Haaland bags another hattrick. West Ham 2-1 Chelsea Aston Villa 2-0 Wolves Fulham 1-1 Newcastle Leicester 1-0 Everton Liverpool 2-0 Bournemouth Southampton 0-0 Ipswich Tottenham 2-1 Brentford Crystal Palace 2-2 Man Utd Brighton 1-1 Nottingham Forest Man City 3-1 Arsenal 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 West Ham were seriously poor and the players arent playing for Lopetegui at all. Liverpool, Chelsea and Brighton all with new managers and have an identity so early days is no excuse. 5 out 8 predictions isnt a bad comeback from last week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's three games now were they have had the lead only to either lose or draw they can't sack Dyche because the owner doesn't want to pay the compensation 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
