Has the tide turned..
A more successful week of predictions last week with seven from ten correct and a profit of £4.50 on the week taking overall profits to £29.
Of course the main news of the week has surrounded Wayne Rooney and Manchester United where by Thursday it looked as if he was on his way out of the club only to sign a new five year contract yesterday - all very strange.
This week's predictions are concentrated on three sports with premier league football and rugby union, as well as the first ever Korean F1 Grand Prix.
In the Barclays Premiership the first game of the weekend sees Spurs who had an extraordinary game in the Champions League midweek host Everton who had a fine win over Liverpool last weekend. My prediction for this game is a draw as it is for the big game of the weekend in Manchester where City host Arsenal. My final football predictions are a home win for Sunderland over Aston Villa and an away win for the previously mentioned Manchester United at Stoke.
After a couple of European weekends the Aviva Premiership rugby continues this week. My predictions here are for Leicester to triumph over the once mighty Bath, Gloucester to win at home to Harlequins, London Irish to inflict Exeter's first home defeat of the season and in the big match Nothampton to win at Wasps.
The Formula 1 season is getting to the sharp end now and after qualifying in Korea it doesn't look good for the British McLaren pair of Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button to win a second championship. The Red Bulls have again shut-out the front-row of the grid but whilst Vettel is on pole I am predicting Championship leader Webber to take the win and take a one step closer to being the third Australian World Champion. My final prediction is for Hamilton to make it on to the podium.
In summary the predictions this week are:
Barclays Premier League Football
Spurs to draw with Everton at 12/5
Sunderland to beat Aston Villa at 7/5
Manchester United to win at Stoke at 8/11
Manchester City to draw with Arsenal at 12/5
Aviva Premiership Rugby
Leicester to beat Bath at 5/18
Gloucester to beat Harlequins at 8/15
London Irish to win at Exeter at 4/9
Northampton to win at Wasps at 6/5
Korean Grand Prix
Webber to win at 9/2
Hamilton to podium at 11/10

Change of Luck Needed
Yet again apologies for no post last week but hoping that a week off might bring a change of luck as two weeks ago my predictions were distinctly poor equating to a loss of £4.50 with only four from eleven correct forecasts. These predictions did include correctly forecasting Europe winning the Ryder Cup and Wigan triumphing in the Rugby League play-offs but overall profits are down to £24 now.
This week we have a return of the premier league after the fairly dire international break for the home nations, the second round of Heineken Cup rugby, Shanghai Masters tennis and the Australian Moto GP where all is at stake is second place in the championship behind the runaway winner Jorge Lorenzo.
Starting with the football, perhaps the biggest game is the bottom of the table derby clash in Liverpool. The Reds may have new owners but after the worst start to a season for more than 50 years they could do with a win at their near neighbours who sit only one place higher than them in the league table. On the basis that a draw suits neither team that is what I am predicting in this game, as I am for the game Fulham who have drawn six of their seven games this season and host Tottenham today, and I am then going for the same result at Aston Villa who host the free-scoring defending champions Chelsea. My final prediction is for a home win at Bolton who host Stoke.
Andy Murray has had a convincing run through to the final of the Shanghai Masters tennis and will tomorrow face either Federer or Djokovic and I am going for the Scot to triumph in this tournament who ever he faces in the final.
The Australian Moto GP will take place at Phillip Island in the early hours (UK time) and I'm predicting local hero and pole sitter Casey Stoner to win and last week's GP winner Valentino Rossi to make the podium as both chase a possible second place in the championship after the withdrawl of Pedrosa.
Finally, the Heineken Cup kicked off last week with as usual a high percentage of home wins but some great games. I will stick with the trend this week by predicting Saracens to defeat Leinster at Wembley and Leicester to defeat the Scarlets but I think an away win is on the cards in Edinburgh who host Northampton and I'm predicting a win for the East Midlands team in this game.
In summary the predictions are:
Barclays Premier League Football
Bolton to beat Stoke at 6/5
Fulham to draw with Tottenham at 23/10
Aston Villa to draw with Chelsea at 13/5
Everton to draw with Liverpool at 9/4
Shanghai Masters Tennis
Murray to triumph at 6/4
Australian Moto GP
Stoner to win at 4/6
Rossi to podium at 4/7
Heineken Cup Rugby
Northampton to win at Edinburgh at 7/10
Saracens to defeat Leinster at 4/6
Leicester to beat the Scarlets at 2/9

Time for a Change of Luck
Last week produced another set of dire results on the prediction front with only three correct forecasts and a loss of £2 taking overall profits on the predictions to £29. The three rays of light were Sunderland drawing at Liverpool in the football, Wigan beating Leeds to make the Superleague final and Saracens triumphing over Northampton in the Aviva Premiership Rugby Union.
The main highlight of this weekend is the Ryder Cup which has made a rather inauspicious start due to the inclement weather at Celtic Manor. My prediction for the Cup winners (when ever that may be) is Europe.
The Premier League season continues and after a strange set of results last week the title race is suddenly looking more interesting. At the bottom of the table I'm prediction Wigan and Wolves to draw and amongst the clubs with loftier ambitions I am forecasting Manchester United to win at Sunderland, Spurs and Aston Villa to draw and finally league leaders Chelsea to beat Arsenal.
Cycling has once again made the news for all the wrong reasons this week with a number of positive drug tests being announced including three time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador, though it seems there might be more to that story. However, it is the World Championships in Australia and the Brits have started well with Pooley winning Gold in the women's time trial and David Millar gaining a silver on the men's equivalent. For the men's road race I am predicting a top 3 finish for Mark Cavendish though it will be tough.
The Moto GP season continues in Japan and after Pedrosa's practice accident this morning it looks like Lorenzo will cruise to the world title. For the weekend though I am predicting a Rossi win and Stoner Podium.
At Old Trafford Rugby League takes centre stage with the Grand Final between local rivals Wigan and St. Helens. Both teams have lost their last three appearances in this end of season showpiece and so one of these runs has to be broken and I am predicting a win for Wigan meaning St. Helens will have lost for four years running.
The final predictions are in Rugby Union's Aviva Premiership. It is the West Country derby at Bath and I'm predicting the home side to triumph over Gloucester. Meanwhile last seasons play-off finalists Saracens and Leicester meet on Sunday and in a repeat of the Twickenham result I'm predicting a win for the East Midlanders.
In summary the predictions are as follows:
Ryder Cup
Europe to win at 8/15
Premier League Football
Wigan and Wolves to draw at 23/10
Manchester United to win at Sunderland at 5/6
Spurs and Aston Villa to draw at 13/5
Chelsea to beat Arsenal at 3/4
World Championship Cycling
Cavendish to finish in top 3 of the road race at 19/4
Japanese Moto GP
Rossi to win at 5/2
Stoner to podium at 2/5
Rugby League Grand Final
Wigan to beat St. Helens at 8/11
Aviva Premiership Rugby
Bath to defeat Gloucester at 2/7
Leicester to beat Saracens at 2/1
