As usual, if anybody wants a new team added, just shout (and include a sound file).

I don't know about the rest of you but as soon as I spot an in form team they go off the boil. Anyhow, here's a few to think about while you're watching the Champions' League:
Aston Villa v Cardiff
Norwich v West Ham
Tottenham v Newcastle
Sunderland v Man City
Man U v Arsenal
Swansea v Stoke

 

[Spartak]

Aston Villa v Cardiff 2-1
Norwich v West Ham 2-0
Tottenham v Newcastle 2-0
Sunderland v Man City 0-3
Man U v Arsenal 0-2
Swansea v Stoke 2-1

I keeping my faith with my Norwich predictions ?!?!
Surely they'll win again soon

 

[bof]

Aston Villa v Cardiff 1-0
Norwich v West Ham 2-2
Tottenham v Newcastle 1-0
Sunderland v Man City 1-4
Man U v Arsenal 2-1
Swansea v Stoke 1-0

There may be a disadvantage in having your team in the list. It's very easy to be overoptimistic and then, if the team loses, you have the disappointment and you don't even get a point from your predictions.

Having been born in Leeds, this has not been a problem for me....

If I put Spurs 1-0 every match I am probably going to be right about my team most of the time. We're turning into the dullest team in the premiership

Norwich really turned that around in the 2nd half: West Ham were all over them in the first and I was thinking that the clock was ticking very loudly on Hughton's time at Norwich. It looked like he'd lost the dressing room, as they say. But they went from 1 goal down to 2 goals up in the 2nd.
