I told you that Fulham would lose 1-2 to Swansea, that Manchester United would beat WBA 2-0 and Everton would lose 1-2 to Chelsea for Game Week 20 but will anyone in his right mind predict a score of 7-3? It is difficult to predict a soccer match let alone ten matches and every week. Meantime, Sir Alex Ferguson escaped further punishment for harassing match officials. In the heat of the moment sometimes this things happened but if you step out of line you should face the music regardless. There is such a thing as leadership by example. Now for Game Week 21. The pace is relentless. WBA v Fulham - They made Man Utd hanged on to just a one goal lead before conceding another surrounding a three match unbeaten run. Fulham has not won in four matches even when they played at home. In their last five meetings Fulham won both home games 3-0 but never won away drawing twice and losing once and confirmed that Fulham are poor travellers. WBA are now on same points as Arsenal and Eve...

This is the critical stage of the EPL where you separate the men from the boys. If you have a deep and balanced squad it helps more than just having deep pockets. This is where consistency is key and the ability, experience and determination to turn losses into victories. This is why Manchester United is leading the charts by seven points much as I hated it as I prefer more competition to make it more interesting but I will give credit where credit is due. If the Red Devils stay there and continue to do what they have done, they will win back the title. Sunderland v Tottenham - The Black Cats cast a spell on Man City and continued their revival with their second win in a row. Can they make it three with this home game? The last time Sunderland beat Tottenham was in April 2010 by 3-1. After that they have lost twice and drawn twice and had not beaten the Cockerels again. Among the Hokkien speaking punters locally Tottenham is also known as "tua tua hum" which sounded like...

While you are basking in glory after Singapore's AFF Suzuki Cup triumph, enjoying your parties with turkeys (not referring to people but real turkeys) and thereafter Boxing Day, spare a thought for these poor rich millionaire soccer professionals who have to toil for your enjoyment n the EPL. Everton v Wigan - Everton is giving the Goodison Park faithfuls lots of joy for tis the season to be jolly! Though Wigan did not get mauled by Arsenal losing by a penalty at home was painful. Not many people remembered that their Spanish manager Roberto Martinez was the one who started the beautiful game at Swansea before Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup. Towards the end of last season they have beaten even all the big boys one by one. Everton could not claim to be conquerors of Wigan as they only had them beaten once in five attempts but did so well away to West Ham with that 2-1 win. Wigan is languishing again in relegation zone. Their next matches are away to Villa and home to Man U...
