the results for the 3 EPL matches i'd predicted: ---newcastle 1-0 chelsea (predicted: 1-2) from the opening whistle, it was obvious that the blues are just interested in taking a stroll at st james' park. the magpies had it easy there. and the win also confirmed that they will finish at 7th n thus enter the Intertoto Cup. won't place any bets on chelsea in the future. when i believe they'll be defeated by man united, they rose to the occasion and thrashed the devils 3-0. but now? what a tale of two extremes. ---portsmouth 1-3 liverpool (2-2) a pool victory was kinda expected among many watchers. i chose to be sceptical and was proven wrong, though portsmouth did put up a spirited fight as seen in their 85th-minute consolation goal. ---man united 4-0 charlton (3-1) again, no surprises as man utd destroyed their opponents, but by an even greater margin than i'd anticipated. wow. if only the strikers are able to score that many goals every game. rumour has it though that ruud van nistelrooy won't stay in united for long though, after he left in a fury 3 hrs before the charlton game when he realised he wasn't even in the 1st team. who do u think u are? sir alex definitely has his reasons for leaving u out. anyway, the team CAN do without u. look at this victory and u will understand.
