When Saturday Comes 30/8/08

Stratty's picture

After a catastrophic start to season, Spurs have the luxury of a zero-expectation game, away to Chelsea on Sunday. Some early commentators "Champions Elect" already head the table as they welcome the struggling North Londoners. Pavlyuchenko hat-trick I reckon, and maybe Berbatov might have his own reasons for being motivated for this game.

United have a week off down in Monaco playing Zenit Friday night, the Arse are home to Newcastle - another Fulham result will do nicely!

Early promoted flyers Hull have a "home-banker" against Wigan, and rumour has it that Everton could start with Saha up front at Goodison against Portsmouth, if the deal goes through. 100% Liverpool are away to Villa on Sunday.

Come on you Spurs!

Stratty's predictions:

Sat 5pm
Bolton - West Brom (2-2)
Everton - Portsmouth (2-1)
Hull - Wigan (3-1)
Middlebrough - Stoke City (1-1)
West Ham United - Blackburn Rovers (0-2)

7.30pm
Arsenal - Newcastle (1-0 to my everlasting regret)

Sun 3.30pm
Chelsea - Tottenham (2-0)

5pm
Sunderland - Man City (0-1)

6pm
Aston Villa - Liverpool (2-2)

I went to the Villa game last night against some funny sounding Icelandic team. Their defense will need another 4 or 5 games before they start to gel together....

I want Villa to defeat Liverpool but I see Keane or Torres maybe running wild on their back 4 and new keeper...

So you're a Villa fan... Is it because of Randy Lerner ?

I think O'neil is doing a suprb job.. I hope they beat the pool also.. Trouble is that will put Chelski on top..

Am I correct in sensing that you are not too keen on the new footy season ??

By the way, tell your hubby that Newcastle sold Milner to Villa today.. That will cheer him up..

Well no Brit. Not exactly.

I actually was a Arsenal fan b/c of T. Henry but when I wanted to go the Villa Arsenal match last winter I was told I had to attend a lesser game before I could purchase tix for the Arsenal game. So I did. And then went to the Villa/Arsenal match and Villa just kind of grew on me... I live about 10 minutes from Villa Park and less than 5 minutes from the City stadium.

Let;s hope that Chelski lose to Spurs and make my weekend..

Unexpected - anyway, as I said, at least Berbatov might be up for it on Sunday, if he hasnt gone oop norf by then

Spurs should let him suffer in the reserves.. He needs to learn allegiance..

 

baldrick2dogs's picture

baldrick2dogs said Hmm, ...

Conflicting reports in the news today regarding Berb.

I'm pretty sure he'll be wearing red next week though. Totteringham have their new striker (or 2!) and United have finally offloaded their broken Saha on the Toffees and I can't see Sir Alex doing that if he had no replacement.

Will be in the Old Manor again to (hopefully) watch Liverpoo get thrashed by Villa if you are up for it.

Last pint before Ramadan!!!

Stratty said Well, we should have got ...

Well, we should have got into Champions League in 2006, then he would... Oh no, thats bollocks, thats when we bought him! :)

I can see what they're thinking if Mr Sitter himself, Robbie Keane, is worth 20 million, I'm probably worth 15, and Berbs is definitely 30.

And they got stuffed with Bentley, being held to ransom for 17 mil in the end. And he's just another Chav who's good at free kicks.

They're probably sick of getting the poor side of deals, and of United going "Oh, I think we'll have THIS player this year" after Carrick (Im sure Spurs are bitter, although at 18mil I thought it was good business.

You'ree pretty much held to ransom when you're out of the Champions League.

I don't believe reports where people say that he sulks so he'll sulk at United - he just wants to play Champions League; and he's easily good enough to do well in it.

Zenit are begoming quite a force, aren't they? Did Arshavin play last night?

Sunday at 6 for sheps pie, beer and footy. Sounds a plan!

Stratty said BTW a merry can muslim ...

Keane will be running wild but dont worry, it wont be anywhere near the ball.

 

britexpat's picture

britexpat said Stratty.. ...

Arshavin was introduced acame on after the break .. Zenit deserved to win..

As far a Berbatov is concerned, I am surprised that United haven't switched their interest to someone else.. The deadline is fast approaching..

Maybe they have. I'm fairly convinced it will go through to be honest.

Not a bad Saturday, both my teams won!!!!!!!!! What was keagen up to after the game, you would of thought he would be used to losing by now. What do you expect after supporting a thug like Barton!!

Spurs for relegation, Chelsea to go bust and Man U destined for mid table mediocrity...i have a dream.

What a terrible contribution to this post, please dont do it again! (Up the Crawley, though - Gossops Green Boys veteran)

Come on you Spurs!

Just phoned my poor mate, trying to sneak into the Bridge - "I cant talk now mate" was the reslut of the conversation. What a Super Yid!!!

Yidos! Come on the Jews! :D

I want my £35 back... it was terrible... Carew had the only real opportunity of the game... a sitter from about 3 yards... and missed it... Caragher and Skretel manhandled the Villa forwards...
