countdown to A levels : 10 more days .

sad to say , i haven't really studied much over the past week .
practised some maths questions from other school prelims .
but that's about all that i've done for revision .
this coming week i'll definitely take time to off revise physics .
to make a final brush-up of the key definitions .
after all , definitions make up 20% of the physics paper .

AJ's IVLE e-learning website is still under construction .
it's been over five days and the problem has yet to be resolved ?
this drags any longer it will probably become the joke of the town .

for those readers who might miss my (inaccurate) predictions for the EPL , you're in for a treat .
here are my predictions for three of the matches this weekend .
don't ask me why i chose these fixtures , i selected them by random .
the Everton vs Liverpool derby clash , unfortunately , has already kicked off at this moment so there really isn't any point predicting the scoreline for it .

1) Aston Villa 1 Manchester United 2

- United had never lost against Villa since the 1995/96 season , but recent encounters (from the 2004/05 season onwards) suggest that another narrow scoreline will be likely , as there were very few occasions where United emerged victorious by any margin wider than the solitary goal .
- While some may argue that Villa is a resolute side at home (look at the way they downed Chelsea 2-0 at Villa Park) , the squad inevitably has less depth when compared to United's .
- But don't expect United to win big . Their strikers still don't look too convincing in front of goal even after the 4-0 mauling of Wigan Athletic in the previous fixture .
- Hence , I'm going with a goal-less scoreline at half time before the goals start trickling in late in the second half .

2) Blackburn 2 Reading 0

- Reading's performance this season is a far cry in comparison to their maiden season in the top flight .
- In the corresponding fixture last season , the two sides fought out a 3-3 goal feast which denied the Royals a place in the UEFA Cup by a single goal .
- While Steve Coppell's men will be determined to make amends , their poor form away from home is still a concern , having yet to pick up a single point in their away fixtures this season .
- Therefore , I believe the Rovers' consistent style of play will be sufficient to see off their opponents this time round , with one goal to be scored in each half .

3) Middlesbrough 1 Chelsea 1

- Few would have remembered how Boro disposed of the Blues in the second round of fixtures last season .
- While it is unlikely for them to repeat such heroics this time round , against a Chelsea side missing John Terry (knee) and Ashley Cole (ankle) , Boro can still stand their ground at the Riverside , having scored 1.8 goals per game on average in their home fixtures so far .
- I will be expecting the goals to come only in the second half . As for which team will score first , it's 50-50 and i can't say for sure .
