Joy to the World – Part III
Here we go again. Last week wasn’t great. I got off to hot start as United put Aston Villa away 4-0, Liverpool edged Everton and Fenerbahce snuck by Besiktas on the road. Things went south however when Rangers beat Celtic and then the kicker, my boys at St. Pauli got rocked by SC Paderborn, 4-1. That puts my 2 week overall record at 5-3 not terrible, but nothing spectacular either. I think I can improve on that this week though, I’ve got a pretty good feeling about these…
Arsenal vs Liverpool
What a game in the premiership, Arsenal are such a hard team to beat at home and I think that its going to be the same again for Liverpool. Liverpool are a team that can spring a few surprises but I think that Arsenal are going to be the winners of this one. Arsenal Win
Fulham vs Sunderland
This one is going to be a right battle as both teams fight for their premiership lives. Sunderland have won a few lately and I think that they might bring enough to take the points away from Cravens Cottage. Sunderland or Draw
F.A Cup Semi Finals
West Brom vs Portsmouth
Barnsley vs Cardiff
I have never in my time alive seen the last 4 of the English FA cup have only 1 team from the top flight involved. I have lost track of the games and competitions back in Europe since my move and I had to look twice at the semi-final fixture list. However congratulations and good luck to the 4 teams. My tip for these 2 is Portsmouth to beat West Brom and Cardiff to beat Barnsley. Portsmouth vs Cardiff final!!! 2 sets of crazy fans.
VFB Stuttgart vs HSV Hamburg
Massive game in Deutschland’s Bundesliga, the top of the table is heating up with Bayern losing a few in the last weeks. HSV a in good form and will be a strong force in Stuttgart, however I don’t think they will walk away with more than a point. Draw or Stuttgart win
St Pauli vs SC Freiburg
Anyway these are all important games but to be totally honest they all mean nothing to me! The one that matters the most is at the Millerntor where the Mighty Braun Weiss will take on one of the promotion favourites Freiburg. After last week’s humiliation at Paderborn my boys have promised me and all St Paulianers out there a better effort on Sunday.
St Pauli win (please)
Until next week Godbless…

I wish your team the best, but it looks like 1860 is dropping into the zone with you. What ever happenend to the first half of the season when 1860 was near the top of the table.
Please give Josh a call or a kick in the butt.
Most importantly good luck in LA tonight.
I really like these entries from you Ian, they are really a lot of fun to read.
