Dave-Pundit Posted 18 September 2009 Posted 18 September 2009 Hi, I'm Dave Pundit. Like the vast majority of people I was disgusted by Adebayor's stamp last weekend. This is just another example of how foreigners are ruining the game. If that had been a British player Van Persie wouldn't have been able to carry on after being booted in the face. Burnley v Sunderland Steve Bruce was possibly the finest Englishman never to play for England. It's just a shame he didn't have a Northern Irish Grandfather like me then Bruce could've made a real impact on the international scene. Burnley on the other hand have a proven Irish international as their manager so perhaps Owen Coyle's added experience could prove to be the difference here. Verdict 1-0 Arsenal v Wigan Last season this would have been an easy win for Wigan, Arsenal always struggled against middle of the table teams managed by proud Brits. But now Wigan have Martinez in charge this game will probably be full of foo-foo fancy-dan foreign free-flowing football and only one person loses out there; the fans. And Wigan probably. Verdict 2-1 Aston Villa v Portsmouth Aston Villa will take a lot from their victory over Birmingham last week, but quite frankly you don't need confidence to beat Pompey these days. You barely even need to turn up. In fact if Villa's bus got stuck in traffic on the way to the ground Pompey would still struggle to scrape a draw. But sadly for Portsmouth Villa are at home so that won't be a problem. Verdict 2-0 Bolton v Stoke Bolton are the absolute masters of so called anti-football, they're negative, dour, uninspiring and insipid and Stoke are their equals. This should be an absolute barn-stormer. Verdict 0-0 Hull v Birmingham If this was closer to the end of the season it would be a real six pointer but because it's near the start only three points are up for grabs. Which is a shame because six points would be very handy for both teams. But they'll probably get one each. Verdict 1-1 West Ham v Liverpool Liverpool had a slow start but I think they're right back in the swing of things now and they'll make West Ham feel very small and insignificant. Which their manager already is, of course. Verdict 0-3 Man Utd v Man City It's impossible to predict derby games like this. They can go either way and form and pedigree goes out of the window. But Manchester United will win this, without a doubt. Both teams are in good form, but Man Utd just have that little bit extra class. Verdict 2-1 Wolves v Fulham This one is difficult for me to predict. Mainly because I don't know anything about Wolves. Nor do I care. Verdict 0-2 Everton v Blackburn This will be a tough ask for Everton, they've looked fragile this season and if there's any team you don't want to play it's Big Sam's Blackburn. They will literally snap you in half if you let them. Like twigs, or Brazilian's legs. It's about time that David Moyes got himself a size-based nickname, I doubt you can succeed in football without one. I myself was known as 'Bloated' Dave Pundit. Verdict 0-1 Chelsea v Tottenham They've saved the best until last this weekend. Can Tottenham's English spine of King, Huddlestone and Defoe match up to Chelsea's spine of John Terry? The answer is no. Nothing is stronger than John Terry's spine. Except maybe John Terry's English pride. Quite frankly if his spine and his patriotism ever collided it would destroy Switzerland. So we can only hope it happens soon. Verdict 2-1
leicesterfox86 Posted 18 September 2009 Posted 18 September 2009 The fact that Adebayor is missing def sways things in Manchester United's favour. This, combined with home advantage, means that they will probably come through this one with three points. This football blog tries to argue the case for an away win in the Manchester derby and although I'm not convinced by it. He is right when he says Tevez could yet have an impact. Don't think the United fans will be looking forward to seeing him up against their defence.
SystonFox Posted 18 September 2009 Posted 18 September 2009 tevez to score a 93rd min winner at the stretford end with his hand and bare his arse to the stunned Yanited fans. he then goes on to get a 20 game ban. get down the bookies you know it will happen
Uncle Albert Posted 19 September 2009 Posted 19 September 2009 Haha, love the Villa Pompy one. Simple minds are easily pleased.
smidelet Posted 19 September 2009 Posted 19 September 2009 Top Tips DavePundit My picks for today are; Arsenal - too good for Wigan and might even be tempted by Arsenal/Arsenal on the HT/FT Dundee Utd - good at home. MOtherwell have made a decent start but Utd should win this one. Hull - Brum got a lot players injured. Good luck everyone.
ACF Posted 21 September 2009 Posted 21 September 2009 ManU & ManCity one- Class Wolves one- Class Bolton & Stoke- Class Chelsea- Don't destroy Switzerland!
leicesterfox86 Posted 21 September 2009 Posted 21 September 2009 The Manchester United / Manchester City game was awesome to watch. Guess you were right about United having more class. On there second half performanace and the chances they had, they deserved it. Amazing finish as well, the game itself deserved that. Think Owen enjoyed it!
