Dobber's Match Day 28 Predictions

Dobber's continued success in the Trio's table continues this week with Match Day 28. After a rousing second leg of the Champions League, the league's best all advance and find themselves looking to ride the high to continued success on the pitch. Will they succeed? Who the hell knows. But I'm going to do my best to get it right this week. A number of 4 for 5 week predictions has The Dobber right on the cusp of a clean sheet. And this week I'm smelling that clean sheet. That, or I'm smelling Little Dobber's shit filled diaper he just blew up.

Hull City 1 Newcastle 0
Bet you thought this one had "Toilet Stinker Match of the Week" written all over it, didn't you. While it has the possibility and perhaps could be the "Dingleberry Match of the Week," Dobber's got a better toilet match this week. Still, this match will be mostly a snoozefest, until Hull City steal a victory with a goal in the 92nd minute. And that late winner ladies and germs is why this match avoids the toilet title.

Manchester United 2 Liverpool 1
The Dobber wishes he had the balls to pick Liverpool over ManU this week, but he just can't do it. As much as it pains me to say, ManU is just plain solid. They are deep, play great footy, and continuously get results. While they face a formidable opponent in Liverpool, they're still going to get the results.

Chelsea 3 Manchester City 0 - Toilet Stinker Match of the Week
Dobber hates both of these clubs. Both want to spend, spend, spend their way to the top. Chelsea isn't too bad at this strategy. They buy quality players while at the top of their game. Man City on the other hand absolutely blows at it. They constantly overspend for players who either can't get along, or are past their prime. Did I mention I hate these clubs? Cause I do. And that's why I'm dubbing this match the "Toilet Stinker Match of the Week." Mainly because I hate both clubs and wish somehow a giant airplane would fly Stamford Bridge and dump their sewage all over the pitch. But in reality, this is the "Toilet Stinker Match of the Week" because Chelsea will destroy Man City and this won't be much fun to watch.

Aston Villa 1 Tottenham 1
After a horrid start to the season, Tottenham has finally strung together a series of results that find them in the middle of the pack. Meanwhile, after Aston Villa's early season success, they are sputtering as of late. Fortunately for Aston Villa, Arsenal has done pretty much nothing over the same span and Villa still sits in the coveted 4th spot in the table. Villa will still stay in the 4th spot after this weekend, but Arsenal will be nipping on their heals, when Villa is only able to compile a draw against a squad they should walk over.

Arsenal 2 Blackburn 0
Arsenal escaped Rome this week with a thrilling PK showdown and find themselves on two possible runs at glory in both the CL and the FA Cup. Unfortunately the EPL has not been as kind to the Gunners, as they continuously drop points to inferior opponents. After Arsenal's putrid February I swore that I would not predict a Gunner victory until they finally pulled their heads out of their arse's. Arsenal's heads are finally out of their proverbial arse's and will regain form in gaining 3 points when they should gain 3 points.

Match Day 28

It seems like its been forever since I have posted. But with rest comes perspective and knowledge. With perspective and knowledge come a big Eugene victory this week. i am feeling 5 for 5.

Hull City v Newcastle
Hull City is at home and I am dreaming of seeing Newcastle in the Championship next year. I am feeling like Hull City will recapture their early season form and prove their worth and their credentials to stay in the EPL. I hope Newcastle enjoys life in Championship next year.
Hull City 2-1 Newcastle

Aston Villa v Tottenham
Does any two teams playing these weekend need a win like both these teams. Tottenham needs a win to cement their place in the EPL for next year and Villa need a to keep their hopes alive for a Champions League spot and the big money that comes with it. Villa comes alive for this game and Harry can do nothing about it.
Aston Villa 3 - 1 Tottenham

Chelsea v Manchester City
I could not care less about these two teams and this game in particular. If both teams can loss i would vote for that outcome but since that is not possible i will have to make a prediction. Chelsea's defense is not as strong as everybody makes it out to be and ManCity's offense seems to be hitting on all cylinders. I see an upset.
Manchester City 2-1 Chelsea

Arsenal v Blackburn
BLOWOUT!!!!!!!!!All we need to know is that Blackburn's goalkeeper is Paul Robinson, yeah that Paul Robinson.
Arsenal 4 - 0 Blackburn

And on to the main event..............
Manchester United v Liverpool
Both teams look to be in pure form. If anyone saw either teams Champions League matches these teams were pure class. I so want the title race to be something more than just a forgone conclusion. I want Liverpool to make a run at the title and possibly win it. Old Trafford might be United's fortress but they haven't faced a Torres/Gerrard combo that seems to be in tune. This might be the game of the year and FSC has once again failed to deliver. UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United. Torres and Gerrard with back breakers. Go Liverpool!!!!

Until next time.............don't eat where you shit and don't shit where you eat!!!!!!!!

BPL Predictions 03/14 - 03/16

So I was playing NCAA March Madness '08 this week (I bought it used for $8). I always change the names of new recruits to give them the most ridiculous names ever because it's quite funny seeing the NCAA Player of the Week as Raul Duke or Slappy Wilson. Well, I was toying around with it and apparently pushed the X button, which gave him a random name. I was not aware of this, so you can imagine my excitement when my point guard's name became Colby Manhand. Manhand? Seriously? Why was this name even an option? Needless to say, my curiosity got the best of me so I decided to try it again, and this time Idi Nax came up. Really?? What the hell kind of names does this game think are simply "random"? It only gets more ridiculous when I say that as coach of the Indiana State Sycamores, Coach Riki Tiki Tavi, I have taken the program to a 54 game winning streak and two consecutive national titles while still in the MVC. Who was the starting point guard you might ask? Yep, you guessed it. Colby Manhand.

Anyway, the next day I whipped Eugene's ass at FIFA like I usually do. He tried the old 7-2-1 defensive formation, which got a pretty decent laugh from my boy SRed7 in Calera, Alamama. What up dOOd?!!! Yeah, it's 7 defenders (5 in or in front of the box and 2 on corners) 2 deep wingers, and a striker all by his lonesome. Good times...

On to the show... I look to regain my place back at the top of the 3 Morons' "Nostradamus" list. Actually, I have no idea where I stand in points right now. Does anybody know? Or care?


Hull City 1 Newcastle 1
This is definitely the “Sticky and Hard-To-Wipe-Clean Pooper” Match of the Week. Congratulations Hull on the great start to your season! Too bad it was just an illusion and you’re on track to be flushed back to where you belong! The Championship! Yay! Congratulations Newcastle on your horrible start and continually disappointing season! You should also be relegated because you suck! Ya-hoooooo! Anyway, the paragraph you just read will be 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times more exciting than the match. We may see some goals, but most likely we’ll see a bunch of nothing. Besides, who really gives a rat's ass?

Man United 2 Liverpool 1
I think this has the potential to be a fabulous game. Apparently some “hate” comments have come out to fuel the fire as bulletin board material. Which team will be able to quell the flame though? Old Trafford obviously offers a comfort zone for United, but Liverpool will be jacked up for this one so I think the home field advantage might not be so important. What will be important, however, is the consistency and class of United versus that of the Reds… and United win by a goal!

Chelsea 3 Man City 0
I have a reason to think that this match will not even be close. Chelsea had a tough match midweek in the CL and will be looking to continue their run. Plus, they will be playing with the belief that Liverpool can take a point (or 3) from their Sunday match with United and begin to narrow the gap to a first-place spot in the BPL. Man City are already looking to next year, and I don’t really think they will have much trouble closing out a spot in Europe. What do they have to play for? Hughes? I doubt it since he will get canned at season’s end. Pride? I doubt that either because their “leader” is a sell-out. Most of them will be gone in the summer when the owners clean house (except for stars) and look to fit in more star power.

Aston Villa 1 Spurs 2
I’m back to believing (and praying) that Villa have run out of steam for the time being. They may have the lead on Arsenal by 3 points, but I think they realize they still have a mountain to climb with the difficulty of their remaining schedule. They have truly been on a run of poor form lately and need something to cheer about again, but a match against a motivated and well-coached and a fairly hot team in Spurs is not the answer. Spurs go up two goals before Villa snatch a late goal making the end exciting. I’m sure Spurs will be excited about the win, but they won’t be happy to help out their arch rivals in reaching the coveted fourth place.

Arsenal 2 Blackburn 0
Arsenal’s defense has been really good as of late (except for that strange goal vs. Roma), and their offense is heating up at the right time. Blackburn stole some points against Fulham midweek and have taken into Big Sam’s theory… as many set pieces, crosses, and men in front of goal as possible. I don’t think Arsenal allow the Rovers to come into the Emirates this week and take anything. In fact, Arsenal’s BPL goal-drought will end with at least a pair, and they get another clean sheet too.


Until next time chaps... don't ever wear chaps or say "that chaps my ass." You'll either look or sound like a jackass or a flamer. Actually, I'm laughing my ass off right now because "that chaps my ass" is really funny to say. In fact, I'm laughing so hard, my ass is chapping. Uh... later.
