My predictions - actual results
Aston Villa 2 : 2 Bolton - 4 : 2
Chelsea 2 : 0 West Ham - 1 : 1
Liverpool 2 : 1 Hull City - 2 : 2
Man City 0 : 1 Everton - 0 : 1
Middlesborough 1 : 1 Arsenal - 1 : 1
Portsmouth 1 : 1 Newcastle - 0 : 3
Stoke 1 : 0 Fulham - 0 : 0
Sunderland 2 : 1 West Brom - 4 : 0
Tottenham 2 : 2 Man Utd - 0 : 0
Wigan 0 : 2 Blackburn - 3 : 0
Best Bits - to keep the replay button pressed on:
Goal: Danny Guthrie's swerving smasher gave David James no chance whatsoever to avoid the 3 : 0.
Shot: David Bentley's 25-yard left-foot volley was saved brilliantly by Edwin van der Sar.
Save: Four crucial saves by Gomes in the last ten minutes of the match denied Man Utd's Giggs and Park one of the Red Devil's typical last-gasp winners.
Player: After all the stick against him in previous weeks: Heurelho Gomes got rightly voted man of the match for Tottenham against Man Utd with Edwin van der Sar performing strong on the other side though, too.
Team: Sunderland and Newcastle after their first wins - home since Roy Keane's departure and away respectively and both of them convincingly. Makes a nice change with a lot of nice goals, seven between the two.
Match: Tottenham 0 : 0 Man Utd - just don't know how it stayed 0 : 0, the result doesn't reflect the match in the slightest! But thanks to the goalies, it stayed that way past the 90 minutes.
Worst Bits - you'ld rather forget:
Goal: Jamie Carragher's own goal - ouch! When one of the top-defenders of the league has a flap-out, he just puts the ball in his own net with no opposing player even near him. Why???
Shot: Van Persie missed a golden chance when he let the ball from Adebayor's pass through his legs right in front of goal. How???
Player: Fulham's John Pantsil for his theatrical collapse to the ground after being headbutted by Stoke's Ricardo Fuller. Why???
Team: Blackburn - with ten defeats and three draws since their last win against Newcastle back on 27th September, Paul Ince is standing on very thin, cracking ice!
Moment: Two penalties that weren't given, that would have undoubtedly changed the course of the match and with it the result: Portsmouth penalty for Nicky Butt's blatant handball in front of his goal; Middlesbrough penalty for Clichy's fowl on Johnson - he put his hands up immediately and thereby gave himself away.
Match: Stoke 0 : 0 Fulham, just because it was the match with the least action apart from Pantsil's drama antique.
