29 goals .. 4 cleansheets.. top bucket getting consolidated by Chelsea, Arsenal and ManU.. fight for 4th is on between Tottenham, ManCity and Liverpool. Fulham and Birmingham are emerging as top contenders for Europa next year.
Results:
2 shockers, stoke city come from 0-1 down against Aston Villa in injury time to win 2-1 and Everton shocks Red Devils to come down from 1-3 to draw 3-3 in injury time again thanks to complete loss of nerves from manchester united defenders. Star of each show Etherington for Stoke and Cahill / Arteta for Everton.
Chelsea and Arsenal continue to torment minnows and notch up 3-1 and 4-1 victories. Fabregas has returned on a different trajectory and Chelsea's ruthless scoring streak continues.
Manchester City are yet to find their combination, feet and mix. Another home draw against Blackburn is not helping Mancini's side. Fulham put aside Wolves but lose Zamora for 8 weeks atleast.
Surprise package of the week, match in the bottom half of the table magies home against blackpool and blackpool hit them twice.
Dullest match as I have predicted Birmingham Vs Liverpool.. 0 - 0.. wall VS wall ..zzzzzzzz
Looking forward to the week 5.. especially Manchester United Vs Liverpool..

EPL Week5 warm up thoughts
Guess am making a habit of keeping it late when it comes to predictions.. gameweek time... thoughts till now.. turning out to be a 3 race horse between chelsea arsenal and manchester united who are placed in the table in the same order and also in terms of least difficulty. Kudos to Chelsea for not dropping silly points but they are always strong at the start of the season. Apart from luck against Arsenal too have capitalised on its fixture and a tough one against Blackburn. Manchester United.. slow starters big finishers.. have had the toughest fixtures. Would have expected to take 3 against either fulham or everton. This week does not get any easier for them..Liverpool at home..
Stoke City vs West Ham: Hammers facing another hammering from Stoke. Watch out for Etherington and Jones.
Aston Villa vs Bolton: After last week heartbreak at Stoke, Aston Villa would be raring to go and collect 3.
Blackburn vs Fulham: Would have been tough had Fulham not lost Zamora to injury. Low scoring close match and Rover over Cottagers.
Everton Vs NewCastle: Can turn out to be a goal glut...and a rout.. magpies be careful..
Tottenham Vs Wolves: Wolves should try taking advantage of midweek CL action away action for Tottenham.. Totties to prevail in a close match .. watch out for bale
West Brom VS Birmingham: Birmingham to a take a point atleast.. can turn out to be a goalless draw..
Sunderland Vs Arsenal: Players to watch out Fabregas and Gyan.. Arsenal defense would be tested by Bent and Gyan.. If they do well Arsenal wins..
Chelsea Vs Blackpool: WALKOVER BY BLUES !!!!
Wigan Vs Man City: Dull Draw... unless Mancini inpires a free flowing football ...
MANCHESTER UNITED VS LIVERPOOL: One of the match of the season.. Devils vs Reds.. Biggest rivalry.. Rooney vs Torres.. I will stay shut .. my heart is MANU and my head divided ..

EPL Week3 Analysis
Week before EURO qualifiers.. never a good time for managers...
Another good week of prediction and a hattrick :).. 22 goals no goal fiesta.. 6 clean sheets.. more like a normal week... Some good hard closely contested football not soccer matches.
2 major upsets of the week: Tottenham loses at home to Wigan (given have lost last 3 and conceded 10 goals) and not so bad result Man City loses an away match to Sunderland in injury time. Man City would need points from such matches if want to challenge for SILVERWARE and CL berth ELSE TA TA AU REvior BYE BYE Mancini and he knows it.
Previous BIG 4 (Chelsea Arsenal Manu Liverpool) calmly collected their 3 points each from their clashes. Rooney ended his draught and is looking omninous. Despite criticism this season 1 goal and 4 assist in 3 outing "NOT BAD".
Chelsea put up a professional performance against resilient Stoke. They would be lamenting Lampard and Terry picking up injury though and would be reliefed with an intenational break coming along.
Manchester United are picking momentum are definitely not an one man horse this season. Berbatov is coming of age like an old wine and Nani out of shadows of CR7 are good signs for MANU scored a beauty and stunner.
Arsenal and Liverpool both took home 3 points and waiting for Fabregas and Torres to start firing...
Other results:
Coyle is rallying Bolton to some critical points here and against Birmingham snatched a point from 2 goal and 1 men down position. Highlite of the match Bolton fightback and their goalkeeper Jussi slapping Roger Johnson.
Luke Young cracker killed Everton and Villa is learning to live without Milner.
Carroll and Etuhu scored late and helped earn Magpies and Cottagers valuable 1 point.
Season is hard and long.. big 6 would soon face each other. gear up for the battle...
England after world cup debacle needs a turnaround..

EPL Week2 Analysis
Fresh from 9 day long vacation and having missed EPL the last weekend due to EURO qualifiers we are back.
EPL Week2 thoughts:
EPL week2 happened to be good for my predictions and was fairly exciting in terms of goals scored (avg 4 goals a match :) ).
Arsenal and Chelsea continued drubbing of minnows Blackpool and Wigan 6-0 each. In form Walcott blitzrieged Blackpool with Arshavin and Chamakh enjoying the loot too. For Chelsea Drogba didnt scored a goal and starred with 3 assists. Chelsea are on a mission with Ancelotti who knows how to work with old war horses having won a Champions League with aging Milan side and fiery Kaka.
Old habits die hard and ManU fans must be ruing Red Devils way of making life difficult for themselves by drawing Fulham in a away match. Despite vintage Scholes performance in the first half ManU lost momentum in the second. Credit should got to coach Hughes and Zamora and Nani for missing the penalty :P.
Man City bombarded Liverpool with 3 goals and got started with their season. Mancini clever business over the transfer period have made them a formidable force. Huge array of talent in midfield and upfront. One would feel though defense is still fragile. Liverpool needs Torres and Gerrard and both good. Its still early season but Man City has one foot ahead.
Other results, Newcastle destroys Aston Villa 6-0. Carroll sings Villa carol on the green and earned his hattrick and Barton would now get rid of his moustache. Goal line technology has been the talk of the town and we Stoke would cry foul after being denied an equaliser. Tottenham should thank genius of Bale and absence of technoology.
Everton gave away 2 home points to wolves and Birmingham marches ahead in a toughie against Big Sam Blackburn. Bolton hammered Hammers 3-1.
38 goals fiesta was Week2....
