Hi, Great away win for Arsenal at a ground the bigger teams struggle to win. Chelsea come up short again, scousers dancing on the Fulham/Kings roads. Another great away win for Leicester and Watford end the Hammers away run.

Hi, That is a recurring nightmare of mine.

Hi, Scousers are in town for the game of the weekend. Chelsea played well the other night but lost so this is a test. Klopp should improve Liverpool in time, but let's see what he has up his sleeve today. Everton is a team I often back on the Asian markets but I am going to back against them this weekend. Sunderland will be tighter at the back with Allerdyce in charge and I'm going to have a little on them +1. Never backed Sunderland before. Will i regret it ?

Hi, The two best teams are in the final. I hope they play an open game to showcase Rugby Union. I think the Aussies are at their best when they move the ball. Enjoyed the way Aussies have scored their tries, but as Fatboyfat says it's hard to see the All Blacks being beaten.

Hi, Unfortunate timing, Sam.

Hi, I agree. Teams like Bournemouth and Watford have very little support. The Prem would be better with the fanatical fans from Yorkshire.

Hi, Looks more busy than the times I've visited. Great photos, love the Emerald Buddha.

Hi, What a disappointment the Mancs derby proved to be. Like bar fining the most beautiful girl in the GG and she turns out to be a starfish.

Hi, Forgot to say, well done Arsenal. Let's hope we can stay on top till the end of the season.

Hi, More trouble for Mourinho and Chelsea as they are the victims of some tough calls. Still, West Ham are having a good season and they have now beaten most of the top teams. Leicester are another of the smaller teams having a great start with Vardy in fine form. Watford get a surprise win at Stoke who are not as tough to beat at home as when Pulis was there. They play much better football with Hughes in charge. Man City are short some of their best players for the trip to United, so that should give the home team some hope. Liverpool have a difficult game against Southampton. It will take time for Klopp to sort out the team and there is no guarentee that he will do it.

Hi, Great round of games this weekend. The Manchester derby is number one. I'll take City in this one, after their late winner the other night. Everton travel to Arsenal after a poor display last week. Sunderland v Newcastle is the other derby. Sunderland have had the better of this recently but I think Newcastle have the better team this year. For fireworks the Hammers v Chelsea may be the one. Costa is likely to get a warm welcome in the East End, how will he react ?

Hi, Swansea have not won since beating Man Utd in August so it was no surprise that Stoke took all 3 points in the Monday game. Swansea started the season strongly but have hit a bad patch. They look too good to go down though.

Hi, Dame Loops ?

Hi, They love the game and are the best at it.

Hi, I'm no rugby expert but I think the difference between the North and South is ball handling skills. The AB's all seem comfortable throwing the ball around and the Aussies scored some great tries yesterday, while the Scottish relied on mistakes to score theirs. Argentina seem to have improved a lot, attacking wise, since their admission to the former Tri-Nations. Ireland were short several of their best players and they might have done better if they had played but Argentina deserve their place in the semi-finals. I think this World Cup has shown the gap between the Northern and Southern players despite the Northerners having some top NZ coaches.

Hi, If oddschecker is a guide there is little between them on the book, but most of the money is for City up to now. If United take another loss, like at Arsenal, it will be difficult for them.

Hi, The Big 4 all win on a good day for punters. Everton fail to show up on a day their legendary manager, Howard Kendall died(RIP) Man Utd took full advantage. City look strong and Raheem Sterling scores his first hat-trick. Chelsea begin their move up the table. Is it too late for them to win it ? Arsenal get an expected win at Watford while West Brom beat Sunderland. Leicester show their usual fighting spirit to grab a point at Southampton. Liverpool get a lucky point at Spurs.

Hi, Two of my least favourite managers.

Hi, Everton v Man Utd is the game of the weekend. Everton have been good to me over the years. Mourinho seems to be in meltdown and Chelsea need a win against a struggling Villa. Jurgen Klopp makes his debut in London v Spurs. A s a gooner you know who I will be cheering in this game.

Hi, That's cruel, man.

Hi, At this stage we should applaud all those teams who have got to the quarter finals. Japan deserve mention as well with 3 wins. What happened England ?

Hi, McLaren is maybe one of those guys who is a good coach but lousy manager. There is a lot more dosh in managing so it's tempting to try it even if it's not your strength. Spurs got 2 offside goals that day which was a big help.

Hi, Great performance by Arsenal to blow Man Utd away. I bet that surprised a few people ! Rodgers is shown the door by Liverpool and Sunderland look for a new manager after Avocaat call it a day. How much longer can Mourinho last at Chelsea ?

Hi, The Aussies won both halves, so you can't really complain. England looked more dangerous with Ford at fly than Farrell. There is such diverse codes of football in Oz, it's a credit to them that they have such a good rugby union team.

Hi, You seem to be getting around lately. England became a negative in my eyes when they seemed to be reactive to Wales. I think you should play your best team and let the other team worry about you. A lot of sport is played in the head.
