Grassfairies's Soccer Thoughts

Well, hello. If you’ve found this page, thank you for sticking around. No, no wait, don’t leave yet. We’re working out the kinks and one day this site is going to be all spiffy and tricked out. Until then, stick with us and maybe we’ll have something way interesting to say from an American EPL fan point of view. Or maybe we’re blowing smoke and our POV only seems interesting because we’re drunk most of the time.

Anyhoo. Here are our predictions. Trust us, we’re very smart.

Aaron

Rovers v Wolves (1-1) Tough game, but probably boring to watch.

Liverpool v Burnley (3-0) Sorry Burnley, your glory days are over.

ManC v Arsenal (1-2) Adebayor scores but Arsenal and the currently reviled for no reason, Eduardo, go through.

Pompey v Bolton (1-2) New faces in Pompey can’t help a struggling Portsmouth away.

Stoke v Chelsea (0-3) Rough game but Chelsea wins easily. Perfect season bound?

Sunderland v Hull (1-0) Fulop and Gordon may be missing but Carson’s debut will be a success.

Wigan v West Ham (1-2) This is a tough one. Carlton Cole scores.

Tottenham v ManU (2-3) If the Hotspurs had Modric they could’ve done it. Rio is back probably.

Birmingham v Villa (0-2) Carew, Carew. He’s bigger than me and you. Warnock proves a perfect Villain.

Fulham v Everton (0-1) Everton will regain form.

Ito

Rovers v Wolves (1-0) Doesn’t sound exciting to me.

Liverpool v Burnley (2-0) Burnley’s tough schedule continues. Although they have stolen points from Everton and ManU, Pool know they need to turn the season around and get back to their winning ways. Look for a constant barrage from the Reds; goals from Torres and Gerrard.

ManC v Arsenal (1-2) This may be the fixture of the weekend. Arsenal lose Arshavin (knee), but gain Fabregas and Rosicky. While City will be without Tevez, Santa Cruz, and possibly Robinho. No wonder City bought a whole side of strikers. Don’t let the injuries fool you, this will still be a great match. Adebayor and Toure will look to validate themselves against their old squad.

Pompey v Bolton (0-0) Yawn-fest.

Stoke v Chelsea (1-3) No question about this one. Chelsea looks good, really good, and Stoke won’t have an answer. Stoke gets a late consolation gift for their efforts.

Sunderland v Hull (3-2) Turner takes on his former team, Bent and Jones are in form. Add in the fact that Turner was Hull’s defense and Sunderland takes the cake.

Wigan v West Ham (1-1) A draw, but could very easily go either way.

Tottenham v ManU (2-2)  This is the second most interesting game of the week. Defoe and Lennon have been on fire. Both sides have a leaky defense and this could get out of hand. Look for United to score off a long ball counter attack over the top to Rooney running on.

Birmingham v Villa (1-1) I’ve got nothing here.

Fulham v Everton (1-2) Fulham may be without Dempsey due to midweek international duty, but don’t worry about the Toffees’ Howard who will start.
