After winning a tenner on the Lottery last night, and also correctly predicting that Scotland would beat France 1-0 in the Euro 2008 Qualifiers (but unfortunately not having enough conviction to put any money on that particular prediction), I’ve a feeling that I’ve become the new Mystic Meg.

Therefore, I feel it only right to turn my newfound powers to the matters in hand at FIA headquarters in Paris.

But to be honest, no matter how many times I’ve thought about it I can’t come up with an outcome that I’m even remotely certain about.

Well, another mixed bag of results - and further proof as if it was needed that I’m never likely to worry bookmakers up and down the country with my predictions!

Here are the actual results from last weekend - those where I guessed the correct result are highlighted in purple and those which have the correct result and score are highlighted in red (or they would be if I had actually got any right!  This is getting worse rather than better!):

English Premiership

Arsenal 1-0 Man City

Aston Villa 2-1 Fulham 

Bolton 3-0 Reading 

Chelsea 1-0 Portsmouth

After the less than successful debut of last week, I thought I’d try my hand at this prediction malarkey again.

Fingers crossed that this week I’ll fair a little better!!

English Premiership


Arsenal 1-1 Man City

Aston Villa 2-2 Fulham 

Bolton 1-2 Reading 

Chelsea 3-1 Portsmouth

Derby 1-0 Birmingham 

Everton 2-1 Blackburn                     

Sunderland 1-2 Liverpool 

West Ham 0-1 Wigan 

Manchester United 2-0 Spurs

Middlesbrough 0-2 Newcastle United

Scottish Premier Division

Celtic 2-1 Hearts

Falkirk 1-1 St Mirren

Gretna 2-1 Motherwell

Hibernian 0-2 Aberdeen

Hmm, well the fortune which is surely destined to head my way one of these days isn’t going to come through winning the football pools anyway!

It seems that my predictions put the kiss of death on a whole host of teams who should really had better results than those they managed last weekend.

Still, I got a few results correct but not many with the right score!  Here are the results :

English Premiership

Birmingham 1-0 West Ham    (Right result, wrong score!)

Fulham 1-2 Middlesbrough     (Totally wrong!)

Newcastle 0-0 Aston Villa       (Not good either…)

The BBC’s website offers football pundit, Mark Lawrenson the chance to predict the scores of the Premiership games on any given weekend and in the past visitors to the site have also been able to offer their own predictions however this has been removed due to the BBC cutting back on competitions pending the result of inquiries into the fixing of votes etc. Why this should stop a free competition which offers no prizes I don’t know!

Anyway, I thought I would try my hand at this prediction malarkey and post them up here to see how I get on…
