Week2 -------------------------- Hoping --------------------Not best/Worst--------------------What you expect will happen

Chelsea v Man C--------------- Chelsea win --------------------Draw-------------------- Chelsea win
why: Destroys any hope City have of catching us, boosts West Ham ahead of their game with Leicester. I actually think Chelsea will step up for a bigger game like this and City have been so inconsistent I can see them slipping up. Was going to predict a draw but I think Chelsea may just sneak it. Of course De Bryune could easily produce some magic and win the game for City still

Leicester v West Ham--- West Ham win --------------------Draw-------------------- West Ham win
why: I think if Leicester win this they will go on to win the title, huge game but also a very tough game against a team in West Ham who can beat anyone on the day. I'd love a West Ham win but I think Leicester will find a way to produce something and also keep the game very tight. I may be voting with my heart a little here but I am going for a West Ham win

Arsenal v C Palace ------ C Palace Win --------------------Draw-------------------- Arsenal Win
why: Obviously an Arsenal win is best for us on every level, failing that them not winning is the second best thing we can hope for (even if we weren't direct rivals in the league we'd always want to see them lose or drop points) Palace are looking pretty woeful though and after winning last week they're safe with nothing to play for. I can't look past an Arsenal win here

Stoke City v Tottenham------- Tottenham win --------------------Draw-------------------- Tottenham win
why: We're a far better team than Stoke, we need it more than Stoke. We will bury them, pay back for the 2 points they stole early in the season

Week2 -------------------------- Hoping --------------------Worst--------------------What you expect will happen

Chelsea v Man C--------------- Draw -------------------- Chelsea Win-------------------- Draw
why: I don't believe City have a realistic chance of catching us. Chelsea are still very hit and miss. Good as City's mid-week result was, I just don't see either side coming out on top. I've put Chelsea winning as my worst possible outcome, just because it's Chelsea.

Leicester v West Ham--- West Ham win --------------------Leicester Win-------------------- Leicester Win
why: West Ham got the stuffing knocked out of them on Wednesday night, against the same side we thumped 3-0 last weekend. I'd like to think that it means they will be more determined and focussed on grabbing 4th, but I think right now they're happy to settle for a Europa spot. Additionally it's anther week where Leicester haven't played midweek, while their opponents have. Can't see anything other than a home win.

Arsenal v C Palace ------ C Palace Win --------------------Arsenal Win-------------------- Arsenal Win
why: Thumped Watford last week... Home fixture against a side that can't buy 3 points right now. Would be nice if Adebayor actually put in a performance and scored a couple though.

Stoke City v Tottenham------- Tottenham win --------------------Stoke Win-------------------- Draw
why: On paper this one is over before it's started. However, games against Stoke are always tight affairs and I think there'll be a lot of niggle in midfield (possibly a red card somewhere). Theoretically a comfortable victory for us, but I just have a sneaky suspicion we'll fall further behind.

Well I've managed to go 0-3 so far this weekend on my "What you expect to happen" predictions.
Let's hope I end up 0-4 by 10pm tonight!

glad you managed a crap week on your predictions, apart from all the results even including tonight being pretty good for us I have had a shit run since Thursday

apologies for not putting anything on here for the 2 midweeker's, worked most of the weekend, hospital and a bit of catch up yesterday, and today trying to catch up, but bit shaken after a small road accident this morning

Week 3

Week1 -------------------------- Hoping --------------------Not best/Worst--------------------What you expect will happen
Man C v Stoke
--------------- Stoke win --------------------Draw-------------------- Man C Win
why: the quicker we have guaranteed CL top 3 the better, even a draw would be a good result. Think Aguero will rip them, with the leaked PFA ToTY and he ain't in it the golden boot might be his aim (hope he fails with that)

Sunderland v Arsenal ------ Sunderland win --------------------Draw-------------------- Draw
why: reasons why: I hate Arsenal, and don't want them anywhere near if we did slip up in a game. a draw still keeps them far enough behind us. I actually feel it will end in a draw, Allerdyce does love to frustrate Whinger


Leicester v Swansea--- Swansea win --------------------Draw-------------------- Draw
why: hoping that Swansea pull off a shock here (wouldn't of been a shock last season). a draw would be just as much help. I actually expect a draw here, no Vardy, hopefully refs will be watching Morgan and Huth, and really not sure Swansea will play even need to sit to deep to frustrate

Tottenham v WBA------- Tottenham win --------------------Draw-------------------- Tottenham win
why: cause I want the win, and will be there for this, option2 N/A a draw is selected because it wouldn't be the best, but it would be as bad as a defeat whatever Leicester do. with WBA playing tonight and being pretty stretched all night, our freshness will do the job, though hoping for an early goal (kind of wished this was on a larger pitch)

thinking about it if City draw tomorrow and we win, top3 will be as good as done, though wouldn't expect Man U to win every game and us not gain something from the rest of the season
