Re: English Prem 31st Dec

Sunderland - Everton is a bugger isnt it? Its like the inverse of Chelsea-Barcelona or something. Two very poor teams at the mo. Most people big up Sunderland because they will bust a nut to get something from a game now, but will Everton be any different?

And Everton do have the quality in there somewhere (this is a team who drew with Chelsea and at Old Trafford, beat Newcastle, Blackburn, etc) whereas Sunderland ... beat Mboro and drew with west ham and WBA at home ... and thats it ... that is all they have achieved in half a season almost.

But, to even it out further, Everton must be tired and have Arteta and Neville out. Its one of those where all three results are totally possible so not bet for me. If I had to, I mean really had to, then Id think theyd both be happy with a draw at the moment.

Spurs? I think I have said somewhere else that I see them as Liverpool were a while ago. They definately do seem to be finding and building a great team 'model' but results are inconsistent. Their defeat to WBA didnt suprise me as the stats didnt back up the hype (and WBA have just beaten Arsenal and Man City at home as well). Newcastle away with owen wont be embarrassed but, yeah, under Souness we always look just one bounce of the ball away from everything going pear shaped again.

Id say all three results could be argued, but Spurs perhaps around 50% - 60% .. so the odds arent far off and no bet for me.
