Most must have thought I was angry when they won only two of the first ten Premier League games. Man Utd last season won what had been thought of as their impressive title since 1992 and wanted late goals three times to get valuable points. In reality, on many occasions they dropped points in the last few minutes and took the title by 11 points. The bookies are pricing in an misnomer that's been doing the rounds among TV pundits over the past couple of months: Man Utd possess the simpler run-in. So, I 'm sorry, what brilliance has crunched the fixture list into a master computer and determined that the champions have the simpler run-in? Although Man Utd do not have to play with Chelsea back, they have to face Liverpool, Arsenal and Villa in the home. Which can make games against Arsenal (a), Aston Villa (h), Chelsea (h), Liverpool (h) and especially Man Utd (a) prime targets. They visit Aston Villa and Chelsea, but Liverpool and Man Utd should go to the KC Stadium - and there could be surprises .
Of course, with predictions such as these it's about what variables you decide to concentrate on, so my predictions are usually exposed to the same variables as Alan Hansen's masterly math. The last five winners of the Premier League have not had the late winner to the same extent in their armoury. Along with the Arsenal side of 2004 didn't score a single goal in the last five seconds of no outcome. However, it could be argued, that Man Utd are only top due to their ability to score in the last few minutes to turn beats into draws and draws into victories. While Liverpool look to have the best album with only 1 defeat in the league all season, they're nevertheless not top. They have won the league name 10 occasions in that time, done the twice using all the FA Cup three days, and also the treble with the European Cup once.
They simply have two games against fellow challengers for the name (home v Liverpool, off v Villa) and only traveling away to Man City among the threat teams. There are still far too many factors and far too many inconsistencies to declare a cost about Man Utd of 1/2 (one pound back for each 2 pounds you put on), as worth. Repetitive coaching, training and training, along with a regime of mocks, trial tests and also non-statutory pilots have placed children on a treadmill of non-stop scrutiny. The product is supposed to generate it to the finish without falling but with younger children this may well prove to be challenging. The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday announced a stellar line up of commentators for its upcoming Cricket World Cup, beginning May 30 in England and Wales. Admittedly there could possibly be no other facet to this argument also. My take on the fixtures (see below) are that there are a couple of teams beyond the top five which are most likely to have a enormous influence on where the name goes - it is the exact same every year.
