Barclays Premier League - Round 13

After a fairly news free week with little going on it's back to the Premier League.
And the first game looks far more boring than it may turn out to be. Sunderland v West Brom would hardly draw the crowds in previous seasons, but with West Brom performing excellently in 4th this could provide proper entertainment. Sunderland oddly will play only their 5th game at home and with only 6 goals total in their previous 4 TV audiences will be hoping for something a tad more entertaining.
Everton and Norwich kick off our 3 o'clocks with both having been in shocks last week. Somehow Everton didn't draw with Reading conspiring to give them their first win. Norwich were doing far better with a surprisingly easy 1-0 win over United and will hope to continue that on.
The best manager in the league, according to Talksport, may be present as United play QPR. The other will be having their statue unveiled. A game which surely defines the phrase 'can't they both lose.'
A goal per game is the record for Stoke's home games. Fulham's away games have given an average of 4.5 goals. So either expect goals or... don't.
16th play 17th at Arthur's sister's stadium. Remarkably Reading go having won a game, could they go and beat Wigan away? Well, we did. So, yeah probably.
If the tea time kick off was the first game of the season it would be 2nd vs 1st. But it's not, so it's 18th vs 6th. It'll be the third of last seasons top 3 that Villa will face in a row, and they're not doing too well so far.

Sky Sports 1 kick things off on Sunday at half 1 with LegendaryLegend's favourite team playing Liverpool (I'm gonna keep using that till it stops being true.) Liverpool will be geed up by their seven game unbeaten run, while Swansea's win away at Newcastle will give them a boost.
Southampton will hope to build on their remarkable form of not losing in 2 whole games, they even won one! And they could build upon it as they face a team who have only one win in their last 7 with two straight home league losses. With a midweek game and injuries piling up it's not a good time for the Geordies, and everyone else is so sad about that.
Spurs face West Ham below them in the table proving that Big Sam is better than AVB and should as he said be managing Real Madrid. Spurs will be desperate to turn round a 3 match losing run to put them back in touching distance of the top 4. Could the team almost willing to buy Carroll be the first to give him a goal in 14 games?

boring 0-0

Fergie time. It exists.



Great choice of picture too

Unsure about Sunday. We're strong but aren't winning as much as we should. Not sure how much joy Suarez will get against Vorm, he was stupidly good last year. But so was Ruddy l0l. Reckon we might snatch it 3-2.

Vorm's fallen out with Laudrup I think, it'll be Tremell in goal.

He was quality against us in the cup though.
