I think we'd all like to see a couple of upsets this weekend, especially in the Arse, Dippers and Chavs games. I think Stoke and Southampton are playing really well and if Fulham can do something at SB we might see a meltdown at SW6.

These games are exactly where Liverpool lost ground last year so if they really want to make a challenge they need to get all three points from a games like this.

But I'm not buying any meltdown stories at the bridge though, that's just media bollocks/propaganda imo. Jose is their man and they will come good even if they happen to drop couple of points here and there

I'm not talking about the fans, I'm talking about Mourinho himself. After his mini-rant midweek anything dropped against Fulham could see him in full defensive mode.

Last time the media were all over him and that's where Mourinho seems to fall down. He loves the positive exposure but seriously has a humour failure with anything negative. The ego in that man is strong.

Norwich - Villa is truly horrible. Too bad I don't have anything better to do.

I believe Benteke went off early as well. That's fecked up my FFT then.

Yeah, after 20 minutes or so. Looked quite serious.

I need a draw in this game not to get minus points in the prediction league. Come on Canaries!

I've got them down for a 1-1, come on the Canaries.

Me too, you know if we all guess the same we're never going to win that money.

There's not a chance of anyone getting all 10 fixtures with the correct score.

Can still dream though.

I went for goalless in that one - Villa didn't want to play ball though.

Can this Newcastle v Hull game be classed as a NE Derby?

As I say that, Remy puts one away.

I hate saying this during a game because it usually comes back to bite me on the ass but Southampton seem to be doing well at the Dippers. Seem to be conceding possession but they've had a similar amout of chances.

Could be the start of a good weekend.

Well said. Soton score. Liverpool needed to be brought back to earth.

This is not doing my predictions league score any good. I can live with it though.

Feck me, that's a first!

I got 1-1 for the scouse1 game. But on the other hand I got Sturridge as a captain and Moses and Mignolet in my fantasy team ...

I don't think many will be getting many points this week.

This Toon/Tigers game is very open and a good watch. The ref seems to keep breaking it up in the Toons favour though.

I got the Dippers as 2-1 so still a chance. They've just mentioned that the Dippers haven't scored a goal in the 2nd half this season so I won't be holding my breath.

Leighton Baines just equalised for the Toffees. Got them down for a draw and Baines in my FFT.

Bonus.

Mignolet is playing very well. i need Liverpool to win though so a 2-1 comeback is necessary
