Last Chance

Alright dear readers, last time I will go on about fantasy footie - you've got til 11am tomorrow morning to get your team in, unsurprisingly the site is experiencing heavy traffic the friday afternoon before...I just about got my teams fixed up

Footie Banter League: 576876-127049

There is also a tipping league available in the same game, the code for that is FC32D-AEO

Here are my tips:

Chelsea 3-0 Hull

Expect the obvious here, Hull look ropey and are unlikely to provide any threat away like they did a year ago

Villa 1-0 Wigan

Difficult to predict, the teams have changed considerably since May, I expect a stodgy, low-scoring affair

Blackburn 1-1 City

Mark Hughes returns to Ewood Park, but I doubt his team will have gelled much yet, and Big Sam will no doubt hold his ground - long ball anyone?

Bolton 1-0 Sunderland

Can Steve Bruce inspire the Black Cats to a win over toughies Bolton? I doubt it

Portsmouth 0-1 Fulham

Can Fulham actually start with an away win this year? Probably their best chance against a threadbare Pompey side

Stoke 2-0 Burnley

No matter the hype round Burnley, I still expect Stoke to provide a tough resistance at home, at least against the lower sides

Wolves 1-0 West Ham

A false dawn for Wolves perhaps?

Everton 1-1 Arsenal

May be a good opportunity for Arsenal to get this out of the way early, but I don't think they'll be quite good enough to beat a solid Everton side

United 2-0 Birmingham

Stick to what you know - a rather fortunate time to be playing a newly promoted side at home when half your back four are missing, you never know, there could be an upset...

Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool

Tottenham still look weak at the back, although Bassong has just been drafted in, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a golden opportunity to take three points from the Lane, Gerrard is a doubt though

P.S. For reading my ramblings this far I will give you a present - head to Beat Victor and you can challenge Victor Chandler on the outcome of four Premier League games - you beat him you win a fiver, you beat everyone you get 500 quid! It's completely free and you don't need to set up a gambling account or deposit money (but you will if you win the free bets) - I'm not kidding here, VC are probably the most generous gambling website I know, I've won over a hundred quid off them in the last year or two, just for free!
