We actually had our week 1 predicts, but Biggy is A) apparently incapable of both writing and e-mailing B) preoccupied most of the time with a new lady-friend and C) pretty much useless altogether, which lead to it not getting posted in time (they are included at the bottom of this post, for those who like to make fun of his atrocious picks).
Week 2:
Chamo:
Arsenal 2-1 Blackpool: Fab returns, but Nasri is out for an extended period. Still, I can’t see the Tangerines pulling off the miraculous twice in a row on the road. Particularly at the Emirates. Need Harewood to score for my fantasy team though…
Birmingham 1:0 Blackburn: Blackburn got a gift last week, and Birmingham are one of my teams to watch this season. Still, both teams struggle to find the net, with Birmingham scraping out the result in the end.
Everton 1:0 Wolves: Wolves looked in good form last week, but still have defensive frailties that have not been addressed. Everton need to rebound after a disappointing performance against Rovers last week. Arteta steals the show in this one, finally.
Stoke 1:1 Tottenham: Shock result for the Potters as they hold the Champions League hopefuls for a point after Jones’ recovery from his brief ankle injury. Tottenham’s lack of a fit striker comes back to haunt them.
West Bromwich 1:2 Sunderland: West Brom still need more acclimation to the speed of Premiership football, though their bout against Sunderland goes much more smoothly than their first encounter against Chelsea. Still, the pace of Darren Bent torches the Baggies defense.
West Ham 3:1 Bolton: West Ham give their bubble blowers something to cheer about and smash out a brilliant win over fellow likely stragglers Bolton as Carlton Cole gets off the mark for the Hammers, and Stuart Holden brightens all American’s days with a wonder strike to spare all Wanderer’s blushes.
Wigan 0:7 Chelsea: Audacious, yes, but they scored 8 a few months ago against a similar team, though this is away, hence the drop in proficiency. Still, Blackpool scored 4 on this side without reply at the same grounds… I expect no less.
Newcastle 1:1 Aston Villa: Newcastle’s return to home Premiership football catches the mourning Villans off guard and allow the Magpies to snatch a point after a late Andy Carroll equalizer.
Fulham 1:2 Man United: United has lost at the Cottage in two straight season’s. Could it be three? No, not this year. Chicarito opens his Premiership account for the winner, this time not off his face.
Man City 0:1 Liverpool: They both have issues, but for the first time in a long while, Liverpool actually have less than City. Joe Hart’s heroics only last so long before Captain Fantastic unleashes the unstoppable.
Biggy:
Arsenal 3-0 Blackpool: Welcome back to Earth Blackpool. This is the EPL you know.
Birmingham 2:1 Blackburn: No free goals for Blackburn this week.
Everton 2:0 Wolves: No free goals from Howard this week.
Stoke 1:3 Tottenham: Spurs stop thinking about Young Boys long enough to Stoke it.
West Bromwich 0:4 Sunderland: Being West Brom isn’t fun.
West Ham 1:2 Bolton: Neither is West Ham.
Wigan 0:4 Chelsea: Does it just suck to have your team name start with W? Yes, indeed it does.
Newcastle 1:2 Aston Villa: Missing Milner? Not really.
Fulham 2:1 Man United: United is not that good. Plus Zamora/Dempsey gogogo time!
Man City 2:1 Liverpool: Ugh can they both lose?
