Finally, for the first time this year, I was able to watch a little Premier action over at a friends house and let me tell you that there is nothing better than watching a good match with a fellow football fan (The REAL football!). Although I was only predicting correctly for 50% of the games last week, the results were satisfactory. With another win under their belts, Manchester United is continuing to climb the table. Here's to hoping Chelsea and Liverpool loose or draw a game in the future so that we can get to the top. Here are my picks for this week.

- Everton vs Manchester United: With Man U coming off two massive wins, you can bet that they will continue their winning streak by beating Everton.
- Sunderland vs Newcastle: With Newcastle getting a draw against a strong Manchester City team (2-2) this last week, I think this is the week Newcastle will pull out a win (even though I would much rather see Roy Keane's Black Cats take home the win).
- WBA vs Hull City: After eight weeks, Hull City's sitting strong at the top in third place. Last week WBA lost 4-0 against Man U. Two words for the win...HULL CITY!
- Blackburn vs Middlesbrough: With both teams having some troubles taking home the wins, I think Blackburn will pull out a small victory over Middlesbrough.

- Chelsea vs Liverpool: This one is a scorcher! Both teams at the top. This is the 1 and 2 battle. Chelsea is coming off a 5-0 victory over Middlesbrough and Liverpool had a hard fought 3-2 comeback win over Wigan. This one is going to come down to heart, and after seeing the Pool fight for their win last week I have to say Liverpool will break the undefeated streak that Chelsea has had at home for the past 3 years. (But honestly, I'd love to see a draw so Man U can get a little closer to the two of them on the table.)
- Manchester City vs Stoke City: Man City without a doubt will win this one.
- Tottenham vs Bolton: Tottenham is having their worst start in years. I'm just surprised Juande Ramos hasn't gotten the boot yet. With two starters out with red cards, Bolton will take home the win.
- Wigan vs Aston Villa: This will also be a great game. Look for the goal scoring maniac Zaki to put some more goals under his belt and help push Wigan to a home win.
- West Ham United vs Arsenal: Arsenal looked a little rocky at the beginning of their game against Everton last Saturday, but once they got out the early game jitters, they looked unstoppable. Arsenal will take home an away win over West Ham.
- Portsmouth vs Fulham: Portsmouth looks too strong for Fulham. And being at home, they'll more than likely win this one.

Come on, Porter! With the likes of Yakubu and "Big Fro" Fellaini, who, by the way, played every position last week vs. Arsenal, don't be surprised if those boys light it up! And tell your pretty boy buddy, Cristiano, we really don't need to see his abs anymore. What a Nancy-Boy!
