Birmingham 2 – 1 Sunderland

With all the problems that Birmingham have had with the take over, struggling to get to grips with the league and Steve Bruce coming back against his old side Birmingham had a massive task today. But they performed well and they showed to the new owner that they were a better team than there visitors. There will be alot of happy faces at St Andrews where Sunderland will be going away shaking there heads.

Ridgewell and McFadden were the scores for Birmingham taking them to a impressive lead with only an hour to go in the game. Dann scored an own goal in the last ten minutes for the visitors but Birmingham were the better team for me. I fancy them to go on a good run of form now.

Burnley 1 – 3 Wigan

After  the last result when Blackburn took the game to Burnley, Burnley pulled back and nearly equalised in the game. Today’s game was important to Burnley as they must of thought that they could of pulled three points away from this game and after 4 minutes they must of thought that it was there day after Fletcher scored. Wigan reacted by this though and Rodallega got two goals and Boyce finished Wigans fight back in style. For me Burnley are leeking goals and are at present in trouble they need to start getting points as Portsmouth for me are getting close to a winning combination.

Chelsea – Blackburn

This game is still getting played so I cannot comment. The latest score is 3-0 to Chelsea so I think they will go top of the league for tonight.

Hull 0 – 0 Portsmouth

What have  I got to say about this goalless draw, mmmm let me think about it long and hard. Well actually nothing happened at all. The game was dull and boring and I cannot remember anything from the game. I must of blocked it out. This will probably be classed as the most boring game of 2009 – 2010 season. I suppose the only thing you can say is that at least Portsmouth got a point.

Tottenham 0 – 1 Stoke

A Manager and Coaching staff can prepare for a game for days  coming up to a game. When the keeper calls in sick twenty minutes before the game starts the manager will have a headache. Sorensson did this very task and from this the substitute keeper Simonsen was able to start and show how much he is needed. He pulled of brilliant save after brilliant save that earned them the victory.  Glenn Whelan struck late for Stoke City to come away with three points.

Spurs on the other hand showed a good display but were unlucky not to win never mind walking away losers. Harry Redkanpp had used all his substitutes when Aaron Lennon was injured and Spurs had to play the last ten minutes with only ten mens.

Wolverhampton 1 – 1 Aston Villa

It is not every day that Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is the person to scored to earn Wolves a well deserved comeback against Villa Parks.  Agbonlahor was the convertor from a pass from Heskeys header that nearly gave Villa there best start since 1999.

The Premier League has not finished yet this saturday but they are at present 25 Goals been scored by 16 teams in the league which outstanding.

Well there is only 5 days to go till the start of the season. So what I have decided to do is have a review and prediction of every club in the Premiership.

Arsenal: This is probably Wengers last season if he does not get some silverware. Arsene Wenger squad is a very young but it has the opportunity I think to really surprise the Premier League with a very good year.

My Prediction is 2nd

AstonVilla: Villa had a superb year last season but I think that they are two years off challenging for the top four.

My Prediction is 5th I think that they will win the FA Cup though

Birmingham: I really think that they will bounce in the leagues but survive this season just.

My Prediction is 17th

Blackburn Rovers: Big Sam will do good with Blackburn Rovers.

My Prediction is 11th

Bolton: no one likes Megson but he gets the job done and I think they will push on to the top half.

My prediction is 10th

Burnley: I think that they will do well this year. I have a good felling about them.

My Prediction is 16th

Chelsea: Chelsea looked good but still looked fair in areas. I think that even though they have a huge squad they need to get some more stability in the team before they go on to win the Premier League again.

My Prediction is 3rd this season but if they stick with Ancelotti next season will be there year.

Everton: Last season Everton had a shaky start to the season but then came through and were able to pull some brilliant results off. This season however they have want away platyers and the one of the stars of last season Fellaini is struggling with his fitness so it looks like he will not have a good start to the season.

My Prediction 8th I really think that Everton will not have a good season and I think Spurs may even beat them to 8th place.

Fulham: I think that Fulham are the surprise outfit for me. I really believe that Big Roy Hodgson has done a tremendous job at fulham and they will get better and better. I really think they can get into Europe ahead of Everton.

My Prediction is 7th

Hull City: They lost all there form last season and it continues to go down I think. I really think they will be bottom.

My Prediction 20th

Liverpool: Liverpool were the team of last season surprise package. Not this year though they just dont cut the mustard for me. I think they need a really good start to the season but they will not get it with the injury list that they have at the minute.

My Prediction is 4th. I think they will win the Carling Cup and possible Champions League  as well.

Manchester City: Manchester City have bought players in there numbers but they have not bouhgt any huge stars apart from Robinho and Carlos Tevez. I think they need a huge signing, for me at the minute the signing are second rate stars. Although we will see if they are a surprise challenger.

My Prediction is 6th. I think that they are not ready to challenge the top four.

Manchester United:After watching United loose the community shield on Sunday you can see that Manchester United are not missing Ronaldo as much I expected but I really think that United need a big signing.

My Prediction is 1st I think that United are still two strong to loose there dominance

Portsmouth: This is Pompey’s year. I mean this is the year they go down.

My Prediction 19th

Stoke City: I think this is the testing season for Stoke. I think they will survive but just.

My Prediction is 15th

Sunderland: The reign of Steve Bruce comes. Will they do well, may be next season.

My Prediction is 12th

Spurs: I really have some good feeling about Spurs in the future. At the minute Spurs are on a little roll and i think that a good start could leave them in a good position to fight for Europe.

My Prediction 9th I think that they could get higher but it depends on other consistent teams falling away.

West Ham United: Zola is getting the team good but I really think there are stronger teams out there.

My Prediction is 13th

Wigan Athletic: Wigan have lost Steve Bruce and Valencia. I think they will struggle this year.

My Prediction is 14th

Wolves: There is always a team who will not make it in the league as they just dont start well or even run well. The reason I think for this is Mick McCarthy. After his tereable season with Sunderland I dont think he can hack it.

My Prediction 18th. I think they will go down but on the last day.
