Liverpool is probably one of the most unpopular teams in epl to me but it seems like my recent tips have all circled around them.
And yesterday, i even have the audacity to part 2,500 cents from my pocket backing them to get 2 goals past some weak fulham side. Following their "super" performance against turkish ber-SHIT-tas side, i was quite adamant that that will be the spark for their next few performance(cant be for the whole season, they are lousy). In the end, i was invited to some beautiful boring football, which made me wonder just how they managed to score 8 goals during their previous match. I went to bed after only watching the first half.
I woke up the next day and realised that i was only 5 mins away from losing all my money. Everyone is saying this match as 'Bao Jiak' but it turns out that the ball is especially round for liverpool with their inconsistent performance time and again..
This week, i will go against my heart for a man u draw or a small win against a highly fancied blackburn side. Everyone has been raving about how good blackburn is but truth is, i think they are just another liverpool style football club. Long balls flying here and there everywhere, i'm not very impressed with the way they play their football. But boring they can be, as a whole they are a very solid and tenacious team, which makes them hard to beat. Against a man u side now deprived of rooney's service, i dun think anyone will be expecting another four goal haul again.
I hope the player who's gonna replace rooney will make me eat my tip this week. But until then, a blackburn draw isnt exactly hard to contemplate.

Disappointing week
My performance has been quite demoralising recently. A run of 2 incorrect predictions have seen ppl wield the axe on me and turn to my frens like ah tay from xin min re pao and some stupid soccer-predicting program from new paper.
So what i want to say is, i have decided to take a break this weekend. No more accurate, but hey, no more wrong tips either..
(Actually, if u still insist that i put up my tips for this week, of course i will be thinking abt the big match Arsenal vs Man U. With both teams so free-scoring and powderful now, i sense a high tempo draw is in the pipeline with both sides capable of scoring goals. Therefore, choice of total goals 4,6 will be quite a good one. With rooney, ronaldo and fabregas in red hot form at the moment, back them to score in this match. And Arsenal always has this knack of scoring late late goals, particularly against Man U, so go for some toure, gallas or senderos to deliver the goods during set pieces in the dying mins. Again, believe what i juz mentioned at your own risk. Remember my luck hasnt been good recently so until that has changed probably juz take my words with a pinch of salt for now......)

KTV marathon!!! (Part 1)
Just last week i had this 2 day marathon ktv birthday parties for 2 of my classmates, Kenneth and Kok Haw.
First up, we went to this ktv in chinatown on sunday night. It's located at a street call Smith Street and it's the cheapest ktv i have ever been to(come to think of it i have only been to kbox.) - just 10 dollars. Not only that, it comes with free flow of drink and a shark fin look-a-like soup (actually it's some soup with vermicelli). The ambience around was not too different from what u can get in kbox. And i have to mention this. They have lots of english songs which u cant find in kbox so perhaps this will bring another option to english singers.
I have known Kenneth for almost 8 years already. We had been classmates not just in sec 1 and 2, but also sec 3 and 4 (he's the only guy from my lower sec class to go same class with me.). Thinking back, we had a lot of fun and comical moments together. But sadly i was sucked into the lure of street soccer during sec 4 so i think we didnt talk as much as we used to after that. I dun think he has changed a lot over the years, still the same loyal trustworthy guy, but probably with bit more curry, chili and spice to his life(He's a clubber!! but not sure he still go there nowadays).
Overall, it was a simple but very fun affair. I thoroughly enjoyed it and i guessed everyone feel the same way too.
i'm goin to bed now since i am having the new balance run early in the morning tomorrow. Will be back with more..............................

Matchday 28/10/07
Ok i must admit that i was lucky not to have place any of my tips for epl saturday night. I was quite tempted into taking the underdogs again (man city ending chelsea's home record and boro avoiding a thrashing from man u), but after witnessing how these sides stuttered against their bigger opponents, i just feel that it may not be a bad idea that i focus all my attention on the liverpool vs arsenal match for this week.
Contrary to what everyone will be expecting, i am going for a liverpool win this time (surprise??). Ok ok. i am backin that partly because i wan to see man u climb up the standings faster. But of course, i'm not going to waste all your money based on that (i know how hard u all earn ur money).
First and foremost, arsenal has been winning too many games. Sometime someday that has to end somehow right? So much hype has been said about arsenal's sublime game play and arsene wenger's tactical astuteness. But frankly, arsenal probably has the thinnest squad depth among the top four and i find their game not really up there with the team which went unbeaten a few seasons ago.
Talking about liverpool, i dun think i have much to say. Dull, stale, monotonous, boring are some of the words u can describe them. There have been lots of speculation about the wily old fox benitez, but i genuinely believe he will stop the rot of defeats his side has suffered recently and hit top gear tml.
I'm quietly confident about how this match will end. If i have a chance tml, i wont mind placing some bucks on it.

Matchday 20/10/07
After a week of international football, it's back to epl again. This time, i have a feeling there may be a few surprises....
I'm not going to exactly say which teams are going to be in for a shock but international football will definitely take a toll on the conditions of players in bigger clubs. Travelling long distances results in jetlag. Playing for your own country is something u take pride in. These factors essentially require more commitment and focus than weekly club football so dun be alarmed to see bigger clubs like chelsea and liverpool suffer in this case.
This week i'm going for something bolder than usual. I'm backing birmingham to at least grab a point from city of manchester because the lack of international football in their squad will make them fresher compared to city's. The star performers for city (Elano, Petrov and Richards) have all played tough international games. Petrov full 90 mins in albania, elano long trip from brazil and of course, richards on the gruelling pitch in russia. These will adversely affect their performances coming tomorrow, so watch out for birmingham.
I also believe that liverpool will not take 3 points from everton(maybe 3 red cards will be a possibility). So i am going for another liverpool draw cos i always believe that boring teams are normally draw specialist. 1-1 for them.
And surely, villa will get whacked by man u.

Hot news: Triumph wins the day!!!
Before i go into my weekly predictions again, i saw this straits times article which should have made the headline in the newspaper.
Triumph, the smashing lingerie company, will be arranging 2 hrs of the last friday of every month to be a 'Guys-only' shopping. This means no more discomfort for guys when they step into the shop, guess the size of the cup or even play with the straps....
Most of u by now will probably be laughing their heads off or accusing me of being yellow minded.. Hey, i am being serious now. If u compare this to the rising property prices or the cpf issue, i believe this piece of fantastic news has a bigger impact cos it's going to affect half of the population, and indirectly the other half(which means whole singapore will be involved).
Looking at the long term, this innovative idea by Triumph will no doubt help to push up the birth rate in singapore (Govt always complain no babies, now Triumph will be the perfect role model for ideas...). By buying such lovely stuffs for their partners, girls will realise a new dimension in the sex appeal of modern guys (what do u think?). This will prepare both parties for more romantic nights and ultimately, babies and marriage.
Triumph has made the whole singapore excited again. But of course when good things come, bad ones dun go away too. After the 2 hours triathlon, be prepared to see bra cups "depressed", holes in underwear and even broken straps. This is the hard work of , not inexperienced guys, but dirty perverts (u not me) who will toil every precious second inside. That, Triumph will have to closely monitor and catch the bastardsss......

Matchday 13/10/07
After last week's liverpool match, i started to receive more and more phone calls. Most called to thank me for the tip and they were equally happy with the big bucks they have won. Some heralded me as "The Next Big Thing" while others said since mourinho had left epl, the title "The Special One" should belong to me now. Well, good things come to u when u achieve success.
It's very flattering to have all this attention, and when u do let it get into your head, u become complacent and think that u r the next big f*** around. Sorry. Friends of mine will know that i'm a person who keeps both feet firmly to the ground, so i wont get carried away by my new idol status. But of course, i wont mind basking in all these attention for a while......
It's a bit sad there's no epl this weekend, which means most ppl will probably stay up to watch only the England vs Estonia match(10pm). But i am goin to divert the attention onto England's neighbour, Scotland, where they will try to prove their credentials as potential Euro 2008 quality product. I will be going for a scotland win because u can feel that there's this sense of optimism in the scotland camp that they can go all the way after beating France in the last match. Personally, i hope either Italy or France will get knocked out cos it's so boring to see every tournament having the same big teams over and over again. (This applies for epl too. I hope lousy liverpool get out of the top 4 and give the chance to more entertaining teams.)
I dun like international matches as it's very unpredictable and odds are extremely low for those straightforward ones. So i will suggest punters to change to 4D or toto this weekend and wait for the next round of epl.
