Weekend fixtures – the aformentioned certain Everton win on Saturday lunchtime, followed by six simultaneous kick offs at 15.00 on Saturday. The juicy prospect of Liverpool at WHL follows at 17.30.
Then you have Bolton Man City on Sunday, and Newcastle Villa as the Monday night game.
Another exciting weekend of football.

Chelsea v Sunderland, [...]
This blog is guilty of repeatedly laughing at Tottenham. Although in mitigation, they have been hilarious this season – the only reason more jokes haven’t appeared here is that they are available everywhere else.
But we must now quickly acknowledge the appointment of ‘Arry Redknapp. Will he save them from relegation? Yes. And that must be [...]

Speaking to a Fulham fan, he referred to their ‘annual defeat at Goodison’ and looking at the stats, this very much seems the case. Their record (from the BBC):
HEAD TO HEAD
Everton are defending a 100% home Premier League record against Fulham, and have not dropped a point in 15 top-flight games against the Cottagers at [...]
A veritable bonanza of midweek Premiership action as all 20 teams took to the field. Newcastle struggled to a win on Tuesday as discussed, but last night’s action was far more entertaining.
Top of the bill was a fantastic 4-4 at the Emirates between Arsenal and Spurs. Game of the season without question – and goal [...]
But an entertaining game nonetheless. End to end stuff – WBA struggled hugely in the first half but brought on Ismael Miller at half time and were a team transformed for the second 45 minutes. Newcastle, from serenely sailing along at 2-0, became jittery and nervy, and WBA could easily have equalised on another day.
However, [...]
The first midweek game is tonight, with Newcastle taking on West Brom at St James. Expect goals aplenty there

A bumper weekend – and week – of football sees every team play twice. The results from the weekend were interesting (of course you know them already but I’ve been away…). Here are my five observations from the action:
Can Liverpool now be considered genuine title contenders? They have beaten both Utd and Chelsea, have come [...]
Season 2008-09
Premier League

P1 W0 D0 L1 F0 A2 Pts0

Tottenham have won six out of 25 competitive matches since lifting the Carling Cup in February.
Chelsea 1-0 Roma
Roma were desperately disappointing – coach Loopyold Spaghetti adopted tremendously negative tactics, often with 10 men behind the ball – Roma didn’t have a single shot on target in the entire 90 minutes.
I just don’t know what he was hoping to achieve. Yes, they were disciplined, and only lost because of a superb [...]
