Newcastle v L'pool I think pool can do it : 0-2, Palace v Man United I thinkUnited for sure: around 0-3, Norwich v Chelsea I thinkChelsea for sure: 0-4, Fulham v Charlton Trickey but Fulham: 2-1 - ANY IDEAS PEOPLE

Im back..... well that didnt take long...............
I think ManU @1.55 looks like a pretty solid investment(all things being reasonabe teamwise) or even for accumulators @2.55 with a -1hcp(Gamebookers) I know the top teams have been abysmal this year but I just think that Manu will be too strong .........and maybe a look at Barca @1.75 although Ive been burned so many times backing Italian and Spanish teams anyway like I said good luck Ill have another look tomorrow arvo and see what I can come up with to dig myself out of this hole

Hey Andyfox, for what its worth...here are my thoughts...
Mate- Im a Chelsea fan but those ManU boys are slotting them from everywhere and I reckon young Rooney and his more experienced colleague Ruud boy are going to create havoc at Palace...Manu defence has been great (despite their Champions league hiccup) I hate to say this but Sir Alex has got them firing at the right time as usual...(4-1)
Watched Everton last week- Cahill played well and could have scored another couple of goals...Arteta looks the goods and their midfield dominated Villa...poor coach OLeary had a stunned mullet look the whole game...At home Everton will cause more problems for Blackburn...(2-0 could be even more if Rovers defence dont pull their finger out)
Chelsea have to win these types of games to justify the Premier favourite tag (had a knack of losing these matches in the past) but Mourhino has added a bit of steel along with the skills (esp at theback) and they should be too good for what has been a poor Norwich defence (3-1...)
Also saw Southampton who look OK but havent won many under Harry and Smithy (got a lot of draws but not won many)...still Tottenham may find it hard going at St Marys even though they have not been beaten these last 5 games...(Saints 1-0)
Fulham v Charlton is a tough one...Fulham have a good record against Charlton but will have to be on top of their game to win and stay ahead of the relegation teams...although Charlton have been holding their own away in recent games (all draws) a close one Im picking a draw...prefer to stay away...
As for Liverpool...need to pick up after the Carling Cup loss, Benitez has his other eye on the Champions league game but the Reds go well at St James and will need to just to draw...Newcastle arent much kop in the defence department so this could be another draw...staying away from this one also...
Anyway good luck Andy...go the Blues...this is an impt weekend game for them...

Sorry Jack, but you should know not to bet on your own team!

As usual, those teams fighting it out in an intense relegation battle at the bottom end have made picking scores even more interesting...Everton were out manned by a focussed Blackburn side who probably made life a little shakey for Palace (they meet Chelsea away next time) and Southampton move a few steps away from the drop zone...WBA made Birmingham look pedestrian and are off the bottom for the first time since November...mmm...ManU's draw with Palace was frustrating (in a betting sense) but hey, the dream of celebrating as league champions at Stamford Bridge is becoming a reality (8 pts ahead with a game in hand)...thank God for Roman and Jose hahaha! And with Collina refereeing tomorrows game at home who knows? Anyway, this makes betting on games involving the bottom dwellers more difficult to pick at this time of the year (as I have found out) but also provides some value if you can select the right games...
