this weekends bpl matches feature a big one between mu and chelsea.
the exit of mourinho might have some unsettling effect at chelsea.if mu win 3-0 ,it ll be crisis at chelsea.
the other interesting matches are
fulham vs mc,mc might want to play safe,0-0 .
blackburn vs portsmouth,should be a good match,1-2.

FEDERATION CUP FINAL
east bengal and mahindra united go for the cup today.
in the epl,tottenham v arsenal and chelsea v blackburn are the pick alongwith everton v man u.
all three are tough to predict and might end in draws.
i like blackburns toughness in defence and overall game under mark hughes.
they should be able to make it an interesting match.
everton v man u is probably 1-1.can everton outplay man u.
tottenham v arsenal might be 2-1 or 3-2 with any team capable of winning.

euro qualifiers
I can only recall that England play Israel at Wembley tomorrow.
A new look England seems to be evolving,Lampard,Beckham,Campbell,Hargreaves,Crouch will be missing.
There was a lot of debate in the BBC over the inclusion of Heskey.
Micah Richards seems to be getting everyones votes.
I feel that the England team will do well without superstars.
I particularly dont think that Rio Ferdinand has the right temperament,a look of a winner.He is a class act but he doesnt inspire confidence when he walks out.
Maybe these guys get overawed by international matches.
The new guys will possibly be a whiff of fresh air.

BPL
Liverpool are in great form.They blew away Derby 6-0 yesterday 1/9/07.
They were inconsistent in the league in the last two seasons while being champions in europe.
Rafael Benitez seems to have brought in some great talent this year.
Todays matches are
Arsenal vs Portsmouth-I think it might be an upset,0-1.
Blackburn vs Manchester City-i havent read much about blackburn,mc under sven goran eriksson seem to have had a great start.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea-Villa are one of my favourite teams from the time of john gregory and dublin,i think that is his name,the tall bald guy.This one will be won only by Chelsea,Jose Mourinho hasnt been in the news for a while.
