Match Day 23

I really wish Ace wouldn't make fun of the clothes I wear. I can't help it I love being a redneck. Anyways, I really don't have much to say except that I have been extremely disappointed in the transfer market. Am I to believe that the global economy is so bad that no one wants to pull out their balls and try and get at least one big gun for the stretch run. Even Manchester United and Chelsea have kept their dicks and checkbooks in their pants. It truly is a sad day. On to the predictions.

Tottenham 2 - 1 Stoke City
Harry Redknapp has been the busiest guy so far in the transfer market. Of course he is only buying more crap to put onto the already high crap pile of players at White Hart Lane. At least he is trying. Stoke suck, Tottenham suck less. Tottenham pull this one out.

Portsmouth 0 - 2 Aston Villa
David James is one of about three goalkeepers who can actually keep his team in a game but sadly all he does this week is keep his team from being beaten by more than two goals. Martin O'Neil makes a great move by bringing in Emile Heskey. This will be a big addition to the Villa attack. Young, Berry, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Milner, Petrov all will pose major threats to the Pompey defense and in the end all will be successful with a full three points.

Manchester City 3 - 0 Newcastle
Deep down I think all three morons believe that the Newcastle team is pretty good but sadly their team chemistry and spirit are lacking. Along with any semblance of a decent coach. ManCity's weapons run riot all over the pitch and take some heat from Mark Hughes.

Wigan 1-3 Liverpool
Liverpool need this. The players, the coaches, the owners and most specifically the fans need an easy win. They have fallen from the top spot and are in danger of fallen out of the race completely. Above all their confidence really needs a boost and there are way to many quality players on this roster to lose or even draw with Wigan. We might finally see Torres and Keane up top together. But to be honest for the first time I am beginning to question "Rafa" and all his tinkering. In two straight Merseyside derby's Keane and Torres did not play together. Horrible, just horrible. Maybe somehow his head will become dislodged from his ass and he will see the light of day with his team's selection. (Sorry to ramble but maybe just maybe I am a Liverpool fan).

Everton 1-1 Arsenal
Everton actually have the advantage when it comes to team form. Arsenal has the advantage when it comes to talent. This a game taylor made for the type of match that Moyes is known for. His team is at home, out gunned (sorry for the pun), out classed but not out played. This won't be the most attractive football but all Moyes and Evrton want is a point. They will bunker down and play 10 or 11 behind the ball and look for a counter-attack or a set piece to score their goal. Ace will absolutely hate this game and most football fans will too. But all Everton and Moyes has to answer to are thier fans and themselves. One more tangent. Even though I sometimes support Liverpool where in the world does Benitez get the idea that somehow he can critize Moyes for playing unattractive football. Benitez does not sign the paychecks at Everton and if he wanted to be happy at the end of the day why doesn't he send out his best squad day in and day out. For my money Moyes does more with less than any manager in the EPL. And to add to this I think Benitez will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.

Until next time make sure you wipe your asses with your left hand.
