Saturday 7th May: Norwich 1-2 Man Utd Aston Villa 1-1 Newcastle Bournemouth 3-2 West Brom Crystal Palace 1-1 Stoke Sunderland 1-1 Chelsea West Ham 2-3 Swansea Leicester 2-1 Everton Sunday 8th May: Tottenham 1-2 Southampton Liverpool 2-1 Watford Man City 1-1 Arsenal Tuesday 10th May: West Ham 1-1 Man Utd Wed 11th May: Norwich 1-1 Watford Sunderland 1-2 Everton Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea Let's see how I do with this lot of fixtures....

Rats....and I like a nice curry, too.....I say rats because I live in the US, not Leicester....

As someone who's not followed as closely the BPL as those of you who live in the UK, it's definitely nice to see a different team other than the 'giants' of the league take the title for a change....perhaps, as has been mentioned elsewhere in various broadcasts on television, this will give other smaller clubs the impetus to say 'we can do what Leicester did' and really mix things up the next few seasons...

Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens with next season when it starts in August....

There were actually a couple of people who DID bet on Leicester back when the odds were 5000-1....I think I heard where they bet like 50 quid at the time...I don't rightly give two farts what they nay-sayers say, since they're nothing but a bunch of sour grapes that one of the 'giants' of the BPL didn't win the league as was expected....when I say 'giants', I refer to Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City or Manchester United....nice to see an underdog like Leicester win for a change... :)

Enjoy your brotherly visit, Tess... :)

Well, nice to see I was proven wrong with what I said back in December....congrats Leicester.... :D

In watching the post match banter between Robbie Earle, Robbie Mustoe and Steve Bower, Robbie Earle said that with Leicester winning the league title this year, it'll give all the squads who one might not possibly consider like Swansea or the freshly promoted Burnley for next season the impetus to say 'we can pull off a Leicester this season'....

Well, I managed to get the Monday result correct again this week, and congrats to Leicester for winning the BPL title with the draw between Chelsea and Tottenham.....

Congrats to Leicester....of course, I know a couple who live in Leicester, she's not a football fan, he roots for an Italian team.....methinks she's not going out in the Leicester madness that is celebratory the entire week....

Enjoy your safari, Tess.... :)

Well, Leicester have Chelsea to thank for managing the 2-2 draw with an 83rd minute goal from Edin Hazard....I've seen videos from Leicester player Jaime Vardy's house when the Chelsea/Tottenham match ended, and the celebrations in his home, as well as some of the Leicester bar celebrations....

I know a couple who actually live in Leicester.....she's not a fan of football, he roots for an Italian team....she's thinking of making sure she has enough food in the apartment to last at least a week, since she's figuring they won't be able to get out of their apartment due to all the mental people celebrating when Leicester finally do manage to win the league....

So much for Leicester winning today, but a draw will work.....now they have to hope that Tottenham either draw of lose at Chelsea for Monday's match in order to win the league....too bad there was no place round me here in the US where I could have place a wager on Leicester winning the league back when the odds were 5000:1.....

It made the news here in the US, the Queen and Prince Harry's response.... One of those Antonov planes showed up at the airport round me, too, about a year ago or so....

A 6 point Saturday for me..... Boy, were my Sunday predictions way off.... :blink:

What's wrong with adding some weight to help hold one down?? :rolleyes: :P :P

*gives thread a bicycle-style kick for a nudge...*

With bungee cords.... :P :P

Sat 30th April: Everton 1-1 Bournemouth Newcastle 1-2 Crystal Palace Stoke 1-1 Sunderland Watford 1-0 Aston Villa West Brom 1-1 West Ham Arsenal 2-1 Norwich Sun 1st May: Swansea 1-2 Liverpool Man Utd 1-3 Leicester Southampton 1-1 Man City Mon 2nd May: Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham Let's see how I do this time out.... :unsure: :unsure:

I usually just go with my initial gut reactions with my predictions, and the Tottenham/West Brom score I posted was such a gut reaction, and I surprisingly had it right.....I'm not arguing with that result at all....I did feel badly for Bournemouth's shellacking on Saturday, as I really like the squad, and I must say I'm happy they're going to stay up for next season....

Well, Jaime Vardy's been banned an additional match by the FA.....so he's out for the match Sunday against Manchester United....

One does what one must to keep in shape, dontchaknow...

Gads, I had it right for Monday's fixture.... :blink: :blink: Did mildly better this round, 6 points by my math, which could be wrong, as usual....

I misread this and was going to say something else....gads is my brain wonky tonight....but, yay Leicester....I actually know a couplw who live in Leicester, and they're kinda dreading the hullabaloo if/when Leicester win the league title....one doesn't like footy, the other roots for an Italian team...
