The final day is here! The title race may be over, the top four may be decided, but there is still a small battle for the final Europa League spot mainly between Tottenham and Southampton. Our final relegation spot hasn’t been fully decided yet either, as Hull City […]
The penultimate game of the season is upon us and things have settled down. The Champions of almost every league in Europe have been decided. La Liga, as well, is all but decided. Rumours have been circulating of managerial and player movements. A worthy note must be made […]
So, Chelsea ended up winning the league in unspectacular fashion last weekend, and now there is not much else to play for. Or is there? After dramatic finishes in the past couple of years, it is a bit underwhelming when a season finishes without any real surprises. Nonetheless, […]
Into the final three games of the league season and the champions are a foregone conclusion. Are Chelsea really boring or should we be inspired by their grit? The old adage “offense wins games, defense wins championships” could have some meaning, here. Then again, could we argue that a […]
The 34th match day of the season is upon us and the general consensus is that the title will be won by Chelsea (surprise, surprise), while the battle for spots 2, 3, and 4 look nearly settled other than which particular order those teams will finish in. Meanwhile, […]
The season is grinding its way to a dramatic conclusion, at least where the top four and relegation battles are concerned. It will take multiple Gerrard-esque slips for Chelsea concede the title now, but beneath them, Arsenal, City and United are battling it out to decide which of the top four spots each get.
Matchday 31 brings us the first of the final eight games of the season. Home stretch. This is right about the time that all the season’s ups and downs come together, once and for all. This is the business end of the season. This is, “squeaky bum time”. […]
It’s coming thick and fast. The Champions League and Europa League knockout phases are now causing the fixture schedule to burst at the seams. Managers are under immense pressure to get the balancing and rotation of their squads right as we approach the final stretch of the season. […]
I’m not one to bet against Manchester United but I don’t see how they’ll win this game. Good teams have come to Old Trafford and shown absolutely no fear. Tottenham will do exactly the same in this encounter.
Matchday 24 is here and it is a weekend of derbies in London, Liverpool, and Madrid! We also take a look at PSG-Lyon as well as an old classic in Italy of Juventus vs AC Milan. Before that, though, let’s take a quick look back at last weekend. Recap […]
Matchday 23 is here. The FA Cup fixtures provided several shocks, and perhaps those results could stir the pot for the league games coming up. The Bundesliga gets back up and running this week after a five week layoff and the final push for league titles goes into […]
Matchday 22, and the awards for the previous year have now been doled out. The 22nd match of the Premier League campaign is taking place and we will be right there with it. Our predictions race is tighter than ever, and it is getting tense! Recap of scores […]
Another round of cup games aside and it is time for matchday 21! Most leagues are back in action now (except for the Bundesliga). Let’s see what happened in the last round of league fixtures predicted. Recap of scores from Matchday 20: Stoke City 1-1 Manchester United: Another draw […]
Happy New Year to all, and best wishes! The second half of the season officially begins and we can all use our much-needed wildcards for fantasy football. 2014 featured some absolutely epic football. We can only hope that 2015 will bring more of the same, though I have […]
Louis Van Gaal may not be thrilled with his team having to play two games in forty-eight hours, but we sure as hell have no complaints about it. While all the other leagues have a winter break, the Premier League keeps chugging along. Boxing day was full of goals […]
Season’s Greetings everyone! It is now Matchday 18, which brings us to the famous Boxing Day fixtures. Between now and New Years day, three matches will be played. Are you ready for all the action? Historically, the look of the league table after this period is a good […]
Here comes Matchday 17! We are almost at the halfway mark of the season already…can you believe it? The predictions race standings are close and the actual Premier League table has finally taken a bit of shape. However, these things are still subject to change as always and […]
Here comes Matchday 16! Some leagues have just a few more games before winding down for the much discussed winter break, while the EPL kicks into high gear. With games every 3-4 days, squad rotation is key and this is when managers experience a real test of their […]
Has everybody stopped working for the holiday season or is everybody actually really busy? The EPL is just getting warmed up while some of the other leagues on the continent wind down for a much needed break. Check all your fantasy teams and make sure you don’t leave […]
What a weekend of predictions during matchday 12! An amazing round where every participant managed multiple perfect predictions. The standout predictor was undoubtedly Rishay, with five perfect scores and 19 points overall! There were many other honourable mentions, but first, let’s recap the scores. It was the weekend […]
Another international break has come and gone. Some may think its good for the players to get a break from their club schedules and others think that international fixtures disrupt club form. It’s an arguable concept that could go either way, and really boils down to how your […]
Another classic weekend of football is on the books. Before we go on to this week’s games and predictions, let’s round up last weekend’s action. The Manchester derby ended in a scoreline that didn’t surprise many. Manchester City overcame their neighbours Manchester United 1-0. Manuel Pellegrini will be […]
We begin with a review of the previous round of results: West Ham 2-1 Manchester City was the shock of the round, with Liverpool 0-0 Hull City, and Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle close contenders. These results really threw our predictors for a loop. The easier results to predict were Sunderland […]
Nothing gives our predictors more joy than to get a perfect score, which is what happened for three fixtures this past weekend. Just to recap, Everton 3-0 Aston Villa, Toronto FC 1-1 Montreal Impact, and Inter Milan 2-2 Napoli were correctly predicted by a variety of participants. The toughest of […]
It was a fantastic previous matchday with big games from across all leagues! The international break once again led to a drought of club football as the European Championship qualifiers began, but all leagues are now back in action over the weekend. Diego Costa scored a brilliant goal against Arsenal […]
Lots of points were picked up during the previous match day. From our pundits, Bernie and Mohaned picked up 11 points each, with Bernie scoring 1 perfect prediction and Mohaned registering 2. Rishay continued his surge with 1 perfect prediction and 9 points, while Alexander accumulated 7 points. […]
A new overall leader has emerged in our predictions race after Matchday 5’s results! Nahel has now usurped Bernie by 1 point, although it isn’t certain if this lead will last. Elsewhere, Rishay finally registered his first perfect scoreline and was the pundit who gained the most points this week […]
So, we’re only in mid-September and already Chelsea’s title rivals are having to play catch-up as Mourinho’s men have won all their games so far. However, our pundits and contributors made some excellent gains in the predictions race from Match Day 4. The current overall leader is still […]
Matchday 3 was possibly the worst round of predictions for all of our pundits and contributors. With such low scores, there was not much change in terms of overall leadership and standings. It was not surprising given the shocking outcomes for several matches. The games that threw us all […]
Matchday 2 brought us some interesting results, and our pundits fared pretty well for the most part. Some predictions were straightforward and some others were pretty tough to call! The standings have not changed yet, as Bernie has a five point gap between him and second placed Mohaned in the pundit […]
Matchday 1 inspired some unique predictions from our pundits as well as our contributors. The overall leader is Bernie with 11 points and picking up where he left off from last season. The next best predictor was Osman with 10 points, with a close race between the rest of the […]
A mouth watering new season is finally here and the Cosh Boys have made some adjustments to the predictions system! Just for a recap, last season saw Bernie Uche run away with the highest prediction score, followed in a close second by Mohaned Kheir, and Rishay Rana in […]
