Re: English Premiership 20-21st Jan

Spurs aint an easy one as there a bit of a Jeckyl and Hide side at the moment as there great at home but shite on the Rd, Fulham seem the 'draw' kings at the moment and i wouldent be suprised to see this go the same way.

I have to agree with Keema with regards to the Man City v Blackburn game and Barton wouldent be so much of a miss as we never got beat in the 3 games he missed a couple of weeks back but then we had Richards to fill in and Onohua to fill in for Richards.
Onuoha could be missing for this one as he has been having hamstring problems and if thats the case then City will be lacking @ the back especially if Sun plays as he's been out for most of the season.
City as mentioned are still lacking up front as they couldent hit a cows arse with a banjo for most of this season and i expect tomorrow to be no different allthough if they play like they have been playing of late then it'll be another dire game playing on the counter and expecting to nick it by the odd goal.

Blackburn have turned the tide after a dodgey few weeks in December and really put City to the Sword in the reverse fixture in September ,City have come on a bit since then and its a Pity Neil has not been sold yet as he had a stormer against us.
Its a pity Barton is suspended as i would have liked to see him get stuck into Savage and it'll be interesting to see how Richards fairs against him as he shown last week he's capable of losing his composure and Savage will probabaly try it on as usual with him.

City are also weak on the left since Thatchers departure, I've never been a big Jordan fan as he's to slow for the modern game and prone to mistakes as Sheffield Wendesday found out midweek but just couldent capitalise on them and without shifting Distin across we have nobody else to fill that position. If Richards or Onuoha do not play Right back tomorrow and Jordan plays on the left then City will be seriously weakened at the back and i wouldent be surprised to see Blackburn win.

otherwise I would never consider predicting a result in this match but the unders may well be worth a bet.
