It's a difficult fixture.
So is Chelsea Everton, both could be cagey draws.

I doubt it as they've already played each other, and Everton won. It's Newcastle for Chelsea, and Spurs for Everton this weekend, Steve. :)

At the moment I'm playing the 'spot the hammering game' badly. This week will be no different I expect.

Any prediction for Cardiff v Swansea?

Thanks George
I must take my medicine everythings blurry.

I meant Everton Tottenham.

I think there'll be goals in the Everton-Spurs game, and hopefully it won't be too cagey.

Yes, they'll be lots of Welsh there.

A 1-1 draw a stack of bookings a possible sending off especially if Bellamy plays and fighting in the pubs afterwards.

According to Sky Sports News, Swansea fans who live in Cardiff who want to be in the away end, have to go to Swansea first to travel back to Cardiff in the official coaches.

Sounds mad but I suppose it makes sense. When I drove, several of us saw Arsenal at Middlesbrough. I've only been to Middlesbrough on that one occasion but feel that I know every street. We were required to follow official directions on the way out which amounted to a guided tour of it all before getting to the car.

The signs were not good on our arrival. They had experienced a lot of problems with away fans that season. The programme said something like "we don't welcome away fans but now that some of you are here make sure you behave". Tell you just how long ago it was - a man in a fedora hat was then in charge of them.

I reckon this week in fantasy football is very difficult for everyone. Week 11 should be ok but 12 is worse than 10, 13 is bad and so is 16 although 14 and 15 look reasonable. There are so many teams of similar abilities who are playing each other. And where there are a few with differences, rotation comes into play.

I dunno, I can't get excited about Southampton. They seem a bit colourless and machine like.

And they're playing Stoke this weekend, so clean sheets are likely.

Why a draw? Do you still think Utd can catch them up?

Well I don't mind if it's a win for either side really. As long as there's lots of goals on either side to ensure a few points.

I've jumped on the bandwagon and brought in a Southampton defender. I'm praying that the Arsenal v Liverpool game is a high scoring draw

Me too, as all three of my forwards are playing in this game.

A Michu hat-trick seeing as I've just transferred him.

A good player, but at £9 million, not scoring enough at the moment. No room for sentiment in this business.

In an utter betrayal of principles I have opted for a Chelski scumbag. (Actually a fresh faced Brazilian wunderkind, but what's this great game without a bit of tribal hyperbole?)

I find this game's rules too restrictive. I'd opt for a 1-1-8 formation today but it won't allow me to do this. How can one show managerial flair when one is so constrained? It's going to breed a generation of dull FF coaches tied to rigid formations. In Brazil this wouldn't happen. Angry

As has already been noted, this is a tough week to predict with few bankers. Could be a low-scoring week.

I hear that Steve is under investigation by the UEFA Fair Play committee for fielding a forward line worth £34M.

Goal for Begovic!

Yet only worth 6 points as a goalkeeper. I think it should be worth 10 due to its scarcity.
