The week in football

So who was the Premiership predictinator this week? Tom Thom(p)son (booo) and John Johnson (yay)?  Here's how this week's matches panned out.

Aston Villa 3-0 Sheffield United: We both went for a Villa win. 1-1.

Everton 3-0 Portsmouth: Silly Thom(p)son went for Pompey while I figured it'd be a home win. 2-1 to me.

Fulham 1-0 Liverpool: No points here as Fulham surprised us both. 

Man City 0-1 Man United: Again no points as we both went for draws.

Newcastle 0-2 Blackburn: Thom(p)son draws level as I had the Toon. 2-2.

Reading 0-2 Watford: Both us had Reading. Watford played with gay abandon.

West Ham 3-1 Bolton: Into the lead I go as the Hammers keep up their good form and Bolton's typical end of season slump continues. 3-2.

Wigan 0-1 Boro: We both went for Boro here. 4-3.

Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea: It's all square again as Tom went for a draw and I thought Arsenal would win. 4-4.

Charlton 0-2 Spurs: Damn his oily hide. He goes ahead because he picked Spurs. What was I thinking? 5-4.

Chelsea v Man United: It's still to be played but as we both went for a draw this means Tom Thom(p)son is this week's prediction winner.

Boooo!

Final predictions of the season on this week's podcast.

So what happened with this week's Premiership predictions.

Blackburn 4-1 Charlton: We both went for Charlton so that's a point each. A good start. 1-1.

Chelsea 2-2 Bolton: Tom Thom(p)son thought Chelsea would win this. I thought this would be a draw. Suck it up, Thom(p)son. 2-1 to me.

Everton 2-4 Man Utd: He went for United, I thought Everton might surprise them and for a while it looked like they might. Curse them though, they didn't. 2-2.

Man City v Aston Villa: He said Villa, I said City. The sneaky bastard goes ahead 3-2.

Boro 2-3 Spurs: Once again Tom Thom(p)son is let down by Gareth Southgate. First there was the tuxedo incident in 1987 (ask him, he might tell you), then this. I went for Spurs therefore I score. It's 3-3.

Portsmouth 2-1 Liverpool: And the pendulum has swung like a swingy thing. He said draw, I said Pompey. 4-3 to me.

Sheff United 1-0 Watford: Damn him again. I thought Watford, playing with gay abandon, would do the job. Sadly not. 4-4. It's a close one this week.

Wigan 0-3 West Ham: A point each as we both correctly predicted Wigan's slump would continue. 5-5

Arsenal 3-1 Fulham: A point each as we both correctly predicted Wigan's slump would continue. 6-6

Reading 1-0 Newcastle: We both went for Reading so that mean's this week's predictions end in an epic 7-7 draw.

Overall I still lead 1-0 though. 

So on the last podcast we did some Premiership predictions. Who got the most right? Let's see.

Bolton v Reading - I, John Johnson, went for Reading. Tom Thom(p)son said Bolton. Wooo, I'm one up.

Charlton v Sheff Utd - I went for Charlton, he went for Sheffield United. They drew. It stays 1-0.

Fulham v Blackburn - We both went for Blackburn. This was a draw as well. Still 1-0 to me.

Liverpool v Wigan - We both went for a Liverpool win. 2-1 John Johnson.

United v Boro - Both went for United. It was a draw. Still 2-1.

Spurs v Arsenal - We both went for a score draw, but 1-1. Still, that's good enough. 3-2 John Johnson.

Watford v Man City - I went for City, he went for Watford. They drew.

West Ham v Everton - I went for the Hammer, he thought Everton would win. He was wrong. 4-2 to me. Yeah!

Villa v Portsmouth - "0-0", he said. "You'll never get a 0-0 with a Harry Redknapp team", I said. Doh. Prediction of the week goes to Tom Thom(p)son. He still only gets one point for it. 4-3 to me.

Newcastle v Chelsea - We both went for Chelsea, it was another 0-0.

So there you go. The first round of predictions sees me as the winner and Tom as the complete and utter loser, which is just like real life really.

More predictions on this week's podcast but for now the overall score is:

John Johnson 1-0 Tom Thom(p)son.
