Rock girl, if you don't leave my mind Beach towel, dress homie, drawing line Do I remind you of your daddy in an 88 phone? A lavender load hanging out the passenger door The sand from your chair is blowing in my eye Blame it on the beach, grown men don't cry Do you remember that beat down basement couch? I sing you my love song and you tell me about How your mama ran off in a pond of rain I remember, I remember everything Cold shoulders, closing time, begging me to stay till the sun goes Strange words come on out of a grown man's mouth when his mind is broke Pictured in time to time, you only sound like that when you're drinking I wish I didn't, but I do, remember every moment on the night You're drinking everything to ease your mind But where the hell are you going to ease mine? You're like concrete feet in the summer heat It burns like hell into the soul of me You know you'll never be the man that you always were But I remember you singing that 88 chord Cold shoulders, closing time, begging me to stay till the sun goes Strange words come on out of a grown man's mouth when his mind is broke Pictured in time to time, you only sound like that when you're drinking I wish I didn't, but I do, remember every moment on the night Cold shoulders, closing time, begging me to stay till the sun goes Strange words come on out of a grown man's mouth when his mind is broke Pictured in time to time, you only sound like that when you're drinking I wish I didn't, but I do, remember every moment on the night Roger, listen when you ease my mind We've stopped this whole drive and run So I'll remind you of your daddy and my 88 chord Lavender hanging out the passenger door Paul Gannon here with your Monday Night Sports roundup and it's a much diminished programme tonight

Radio and Talk Sport My name is Vivian Cotton I'll be with you until 8 o'clock Coming up this evening We hope to have Tony Fine And of course Bernard Lee For the usual soccer roundup And also with the Grand Prix I have on line now Tony Fine Welcome Tony You're standing still anyway Which is a big thing Oh yes Now I was looking at the rules There was mixed views on the new GA rules I don't know what you think of them Yeah certainly I've seen it on Saturday Yeah I think there's a lot of As I said mixed views Mixed views on Not everybody happy with all the rules Certainly maybe 3 or 4 of them Players in particular are happy with them But there's a couple of things They are unhappy about So I think there's maybe a bit of tweak To look at It wasn't going to be 100% right Once it wasn't getting 100% rejection I think was the main thing You know as I said I think the 3 middle crawlers Seems to be getting a very positive reaction I think that's certainly going to improve the game Yeah that's good And what I like myself is the kick out That it had to go out Yeah I think the kick out going beyond the 40m line I mean that was That just drives me mad With the goalie kicking out Right foot and he passes back to the goalie Oh yeah just going back and over And I mean 2 minutes later it's gone beyond the 45m And it was slowing down the whole game So at least now it looks like They can still plan a strategy And they'll kick out You know guys have to compete for a ball But at least it's gone beyond the 45m So that's a positive sign And then as I said Sometimes You're going to have a bunch of defendants going on That's going to go on I think when the team breaks quickly At least they can see they have options up front The three guys inside moving around Before they were stopping and turning back Sometimes there was no one up there And someone was back The first man out And there was no one up there So that's I think a positive thing The ball going forward It will and there's just 2 people in For the throw in Yeah that's another one that Some of them are for it Some of them are against I've gone on that idea You know I think The throw in could be pleased There's not a blocker going on There is One fella blocks the other fella Doesn't he That's always going on It's always going on I think that could be pleased You could maybe create a gap Between the first and second guy And then maybe that might take that element Out of the game or something But again I suppose 1v1 It's a straight competition You should get the ball away To someone Someone is going to get it away pretty quick So I think it's worth that to stay there The advanced mark I don't know about that I'm not gone on that idea You get a mark you either take it or you don't You run out the ball and you lose it And you're trying to go back Oh yeah Yes It's like Aussie rules It is I don't think Once you get the advantage That should be enough You're penalising The opposition twice then You are really because once you get the advantage It's up to you to use it It's up to you That's your tough look I think guys could maybe Exploit that So I think That needs to be looked at I think that was really One of the lesser rules That got positivity on it I suppose the other one was that The two-pointer from outside The arc That's got mixed views I'm not mad on that Myself It encourages people to shoot It encourages the shooters It encourages that the ball won't get blocked I suppose If we get a point in the last moment From outside Which is a great rule You see the advantage of it there on Saturday College were two points behind With the last attack That's right So you know You know it does Encourage the long range kickers And the city kickers That are willing to keep scores Again It's one that's kind of up in the air I think it's got a 50-50 reaction Half or half So whether they're going to persist I don't know The other aspect of the four points for a goal I don't think that's received a good reaction No I wouldn't be mad about that I wouldn't be mad either I think three points for a goal I think it's enough I think that could create A lot of mass defending teams Well that's what will happen Don't you make it a goal and bring back everybody Bring back everybody Outside of the three they can bring back Outside of the three they can bring back So I think that's another thing really That they may have to look at They may have to look at it again Once they come up with the right solution I'd be happy Once they come up with the right solution I think the general consensus It's definitely in the right direction I think overall the general consensus was Something has to be done with the game It has got two negative It has got two goals Oh it has and people weren't going to matches I don't know No they weren't Tensions were down They were away We need to do something To get the game back up So I think A bit of tweaking here and there Maybe for the National League Maybe bring in a certain amount To see how it goes Again as we have said At club level It could be difficult To implement some of these Yeah the poor old referee will have a lot On his hands He will have a lot on his hands as we said You know it's alright maybe a championship time Because you do have You have six people Seven people looking after you Looking after you And there is people But you have the local The local fanatic As a lineman You might not see a foul And he won't You know for referees At the lesser level Down to the Junior B or Junior C level The referees are on his own And there is no one to do anything He will probably find it difficult To police a lad No doubt Look at it again It will be a learning curve for everybody Learning curve for everyone to get used to To go back To go back down and review it And see how you get more reactions So yeah We will see with the Congress Coming up at the end of November I can see them going forward They may drop one or two But I think They are certainly going to go forward So yeah It will be interesting to see I don't think there are too many more changes They can make I think they have tried And I don't see them implementing any more Different rules They wouldn't want to bring in too many They wouldn't Because there is enough rules As I said Overall Not a positive feedback from us So that was good I think the players did learn From the games on Friday night to Saturday night Players were getting more accustomed to them Getting more used to them Once they get used to them It will take time Everything has changed We will see how it goes I hope they don't interfere with hurling I know I don't think there are any plans for the hurling I think the only issue with the hurling The last couple of years Has been the hand patch Yeah I actually wouldn't mind if they brought in You must pass with the hurley Rather than the hand Because most of the passes are thrown There is no doubt about it Maybe like in Gaelic I think there should be more of a strike Maybe with the hand That's right You have to strike the ball With your fist Maybe to go back There has to be a clear strike I think That could sort out that problem They could clean it up a bit I think they could clean it up a bit Other than that I don't think they would do too much more with hurling I mean hurling is a great game As it is anyway It is a great game You wouldn't want to Stifle it in any way Right Now Some person was walking away with £1000 That's right Our draw on Friday A winner that came from Galway Irene Murphy That bought her chicken in Galway And was in the draw And came out as a lucky winner So well done to her Got a lucky draw for her Yeah fine Coming back to Christchurch for the weekend She purchased the tickets And got the tickets So we go on again next Friday The 1st of November We are going to be in the garage back of Galway Oh right Down to the garage back So that's Friday Oh good You go all round the town From the different areas We do Everyone gets a turn Gets a turn That's great And there should be a big crowd around For Halloween and so on Next weekend of course It's Halloween weekend And of course it's the midterm as well That's right the midterm So there's no repeating around for the final week So you'd hope that's right Kind of the last of the season You know kind of finish up into the season And then run into Christmas I think the October weekend There's a nice repeat around Yeah there's usually Is the miners How are they They're famous evening I think They're famous evening I was supposed to be on yesterday But of course it was a storm You couldn't put anyone out Rightly so A good decision They took a decision early They did We got 4 warrants on Friday There was going to be a decision taken But I think at that stage everyone kind of knew what was coming And as I said There was plenty of other county finals around the country So all top pitchers were just So yeah so the minor game now is happening this evening And it's on in Nocturard now Under lights in Nocturard And that's at 7.30 So Clifton are playing Canberra this evening So it's not going out of the season at the moment They should have a good chance against that I would think so They have a nice idea They've had a good run They were a bit unlucky to get knocked out of the challenge They were very unlucky So they qualified this year So the beaten Canberra are ready once it's Tight enough over their area So I expect another tight game this evening But yeah So that's the plan this evening Oh great That's it so Tony That's it for this week Ok We'll speak to you on the fortnight Thanks very much for taking our call Thanks for the call, talk to you again soon Thank you And I have on line now Bernard Lee Welcome Bernard Good evening Viv You're stationary after all the excitement of the wind Yes We got over it now It was quite an event And you could see why they cancelled A lot of the sporting fixtures It was the right decision Saturday was a much better day obviously And they had various bits on But Sunday certainly a bit of a wash out But they did have a few bits on in Dublin I know there was the county final there The weather wasn't too bad It was surprising maybe to see Events going on in other parts of the country But of course they weren't quite under The orange warning Even though the conditions weren't great But there was a few sporting events going on So look I think there was no Even down south The Cork Final was on I think Yeah It wasn't as bad down south as we got this year No I think we certainly got Very often Cork and Kerry will get the brunch Of most of the time They deserved a day off or a weekend off I think this time But certainly It was pretty impactful Alright so hopefully look at next week And of course the GAA The county finals I think in football And in some of the other sports They'll be back in a week And look next week will be a very busy week So it'll be the feast of the famine But thankfully Everybody got over it ok anyways Yeah that's the main thing Right Donald we've spent with the Formula 1 An exciting Formula 1 And Ferrari Won too That was good going on their part Max Verstappen he managed To get third I think Yeah no it was a good race And a lot of it Was decided in the early part there When there was I suppose you had Norris And Verstappen Trying to value for the lead And then the Ferraris Managed to overtake Certainly Leclerc anyways jumped to the front And stayed there for the end of the race It was some very good battle between Norris and Verstappen later in the race And There was a bit of controversy when Norris overtook him He went off the track Gained a place and then He was given the five I think the five second penalty Yeah Max Verstappen was Four seconds behind I think Yes exactly so really Norris possibly should have Given back the place and tried on the track To overtake him again because he possibly Would have now he was slightly Faster I think than Verstappen Verstappen was struggling with the tyres But Verstappen did some great defensive work on it And it was an interesting one You know do you go back give the place Back and fight it out on the track Or do you continue on And see If he finished more than five seconds Ahead of Verstappen he would have held on To third place That's the right decision Verstappen gained over the weekend He won the sprint race they have these sprint races as well On at the weekend And so he gained overall And You know he's got He's up there on 354 points And Norris is on 297 So it's a decent lead And Leclerc out with a little bit on 275 But Norris didn't defend His pole position very well He lost that and really That he needs to be Winning from those positions When you're on pole position you cannot be giving Those Back to either your Biggest rival or as I said The Ferraris who overtook them there Bad weekend really For McLaren's overall They would have been hoping for more Certainly with only five races left You don't want to be losing points To your rivals So again 57 points I think And five races to go We know there's 25 points for a win 18 for second If you won those five And your opponent came second It still wasn't enough And I think Verstappen has a win or two in him before being And the only thing that will really ruin Verstappen's Championship title I suppose Way of winning it is that if he Did not finish but that's true of anyone If somebody doesn't finish a race or Crashes out it would open A big door for their opponents but I was happy enough with The way Verstappen defended As I said he doesn't have to be winning races to win the title Five races to go And they're off to Mexico next week And as we said before it goes into The 8th of December in Abu Dhabi So you know you've got some interesting Watches there will be in Brazil and Las Vegas And Qatar and finishing In Abu Dhabi so Plenty to fight for And McLaren still the top Team qualifying wise But I see slight improvements in Verstappen and in Red Bull And at the moment I'd say with a 57 point lead they'd be Defeated but McLaren are doing well And the constructors there look like they're going to Take that 544 Over Red Bull so that would be A consolation in some ways Right Bad day for Lewis Hamilton wasn't it? Yeah he kind of went out early enough There he went in on the On the gravel and Kind of beached it so there was no Coming back from it just overall It's kind of been a very Lackluster season for him and maybe The last couple of years have been as well but we know He is going to Ferrari so Even though it's a few months away it'll be A very exciting season next Year and look at the rest of this Season is going to be exciting as well But McLaren McLaren going well Red Bull are going to be consistent and The likes of Hamilton In Ferrari Will be very exciting And as I said look they got a 1-2 yesterday so they're a team that's Going places and In maybe more consistent In the hands of a more Consistent driver like Hamilton As opposed to let's say Leclerc and Sainz You could have big Results ahead for Ferrari next year Yeah there's no doubt Although Hamilton wouldn't want to be Crashing with Ferrari would he? Well you get it from time to time Now I suppose he has a decent record Overall it must be very frustrating Very frustrating for him to be Down the field. You know when you're used to being Top 2, 1, 2, 3 on the Podium and then you're coming in in 5th 6th place and qualifying down as well It's a bit disconcerting I'm sure for him but I'd say he'll get His energy back And he'll be Revved up for next year But he'll try and finish the season as strong As he can as well but certainly Even to be outscoring And outqualifying his teammate Would be something that hasn't always happened this year But yeah very interesting to see next year He's not the youngest Anymore but we know Formula 1 drivers Can go on past their Late 30s and into 40s We see Fernando Alonso still going well into his 40s and Hamilton won't be far off that now Next year as well so Good races ahead and Formula 1 when it's competitive It's one of the best sports to watch Grand. Ok Bernard We'll leave the Grand Prix there And we'll have Two of them I think next time we speak We'll have two Grand Prixs to deal with So we'll have plenty to go on Ok we'd better look back I suppose On the English Premiership And the first game I have Down here is Bournemouth 2 Arsenal 0 Jesus Christ to me now I thought Yeah Yes Arsenal had been undefeated I think In the Premiership But they had a sending off There was controversy in it Bournemouth are always decent at home And just a generally half decent Football team home or away But they Arsenal really didn't turn up from what I can gather On the highlights of it and the sending off Certainly didn't help Very rarely you see teams now down to 10 men That they get a result even a draw Back in the days you'd have 10 men maybe beating 11 but it seems less frequent Now with the way football Is set up and the way teams are set up And Bournemouth gone on top So they got their two goals The second goal went in and there was no way back For Arsenal And you know There was a bit of debate about the sending off The defender There but It seemed a bit harsh to me I thought Yeah and some of these are They're very much down to either VAR Or the referee And interpretation of a rule And all of that and it seems We'll never quite get to the bottom of it And you have to kind of take it in the round over the course of the season You hope to even out But disappointing for Arsenal To see a result like that 2-0 to Bournemouth And Possibly the first time Arsenal haven't Scored as well in a match But they weren't really At the races at any stage They created a few chances They certainly had a chance at Nullol When there was a bad back pass by the goalie to take the lead And that would have Changed things definitely because Arsenal would be A difficult team to break down Spurs found out recently Once they go ahead They're very good at defending a lead But once they went behind And the man down Bournemouth held on for the good win So disappointment they've lost a bit of ground At the top of the table Arsenal Fulham 1 Aston Villa 3 Yeah so Villa really are Continuing their good form They were the surprise packet Last season up in the top 4 And they're going They're going well again They're up there in 4th position Same points as Arsenal So that's a good position to be in And yeah They're very consistent And definitely Not to be taken lightly Fulham have been decent all year as well Fulham are up in 9th position It was a good away win for Villa Yeah no doubt Right it's 3-0 Everton 2 That moved Everton up a bit Yeah It's a bit of a relief for Everton fans Now they were obviously down at the bottom And getting some bad results We remember 2 games in a row They lost 2-0 leads to lose both games So if they had got even a point out of those 2 games They'd be nicely positioned But maybe that kicked them on to get these results They're up on 8 points They're in 16th position So still a lot to fight for But Ipswich in 17th position They're on 4 points At home, look it's going to be a difficult year For Ipswich But Everton are just solid now Maybe not conceding too much in the last couple of games And getting the odd goal as well So good win And eases the pressure on Sean Dyche And kind of a happy time for Everton fans After the first 4 or 5 matches there That's correct Manchester United 2 Brentford 1 Yeah Brentford taking the lead And it looked a bit ominous for Man Utd And for Ten Hag there But in fairness, United very often when they're under the cosh They do come back They do have good players There's a reason why they won the FA Cup The defence city in the FA Cup earlier in the year On their day they can produce it And they fought back Well in this game Garnaccio I think getting the winner there But a good performance To come from Man Utd Because Brentford are a decent enough team Good footballing team So it eases the pressure They're still halfway in the table They're on 11th place You know it's amazing They're 11th position on 11 points And they're not scoring a huge amount of goals Possibly not conceding a huge amount either But look it eases the pressure for now Still a lot of debate About Ten Hag But look it for now He's managed to get Turned the corner for now And yeah They'll move on to the next game But mid-table still not what United fans would want No he's safe Another week anyway I presume Yes I think so yes He might just get Halloween out of it You never know Right the next one Newcastle 0 Brighton 1 My goodness Bad result for Newcastle It was because Newcastle You know you have to be winning your home games And if not winning Not losing Now Brighton came from 2-0 down against Spurs In their last game there I think Before the international break And they're a decent team But I must say Newcastle isn't an easy place to go to And you know There's various reasons that they'd like to be Punching above their weight They're up in 8th position But this would have moved them up into the top 4 I think if they are very close Had they won And it would have been expected But you know A good victory there for Brighton And you know they're a very surprised team They're up in 5th place So they're always punching above their weight On 15 points So a good victory once they go ahead They've managed to hold up Newcastle but maybe Certainly not a good day at the races for Newcastle They need to be winning these fixtures To be mixing it with the big boys At the top like City and Arsenal Yeah Brighton surprised You were last And then they're going up A victory that you think they'll lose Well I mean yeah as I said Going back to the Tottenham game A little bit would Tottenham's inadequacies as well But they keep fighting to the end And that was a good win And as I said to be up in 5th place On 15 points It's a good return for the manager And they play decent football as well Right Another thing they were 2-0 down Leicester They were away to Southampton And they managed 3-2 Yes there was a sending off for Southampton Yeah Still Leicester for a team that's down at the bottom You know to Or were down at the bottom Just moved them up now to 14th position on 9 points But yeah good performance Anytime you come from 2-0 down To get a point or a win It's good and Southampton struggling of course For various reasons Obviously they Could have done with at least a point out of that They're struggling at the bottom They're on 1 point from their 8 matches And you know There'd be a bit of pressure on the manager there Because they were in a great position And you know a win there Would have moved them up to 4 points And they'd be out of the relegation zone And that's a huge thing for fans and supporters And just the manager and the players To see that you're not stuck down at the bottom 3 all the time But yeah good win for Leicester and Jamie Vardy on the score sheet Again for them They're moving up the table Leicester They are Spurs finally got their act together Winning 4-1 against West Ham Yeah And yeah they went to goal down Again another sending off There's no shortage of sendings off in some of these games And But they were a goal down And I suppose the Spurs fans were thinking here we go again But they managed to put it all together And got 3 goals I think Early in the second half or midway through the second half There to put the game to bed They just got You know I think the goals at the right time West Ham then had a Nance on top which didn't Help their cause but they were 4-1 down at the time So London derby is always a difficult one But very important for Spurs They move up now into 7th position on 13 points Where West Ham kind of caught in the middle Their 15th position on 8 points But They'll have better games than this But for Spurs good football Very high on attacking Creativity And just to find the net on 4 occasions They possibly could have had 2 or 3 more Maybe should have got 5 or 6 there When the opportunity was there against the Tynmen But they'll be happy with it After the international break And hopefully now they can Continue to rise up the table in 7th position Isn't too bad Right We move on to Sunday Yesterday and 2 good matches Liverpool 2 Chelsea 1 My goodness Liverpool are rising high now Yeah they're up there at the top Obviously and again Chelsea made it hard work Chelsea are a decent enough team And you know They're in 6th position even without This win but I thought they Possibly I won't say Liverpool Were at their best but they have Enough about them they've only won defeat On their cards and that was at home surprisingly To Nottingham Forest 2 weeks back but A pretty good record there you know 15 goals far only 3 Again so the best defensive record as well And that's always a good sign In a team That you know they're keeping it tight At the back a bit like the old Liverpool Of the late 70s early 80s You know I think it was famously When there was only a squad of 14 players In a league I think they only Conceded 16 goals and one of the great records There of the old first division Back in the late 70s Early 80s 16 goals I think In 42 matches it was then as well So Liverpool have a Great track record when they get a good at the back Same with any team if you get a good At the back you have every chance of being High up the table and so Again they're up there 21 points from their 8 matches and Hard fought for they weren't at their Best maybe but Salah On the score sheet again he's still scoring For them and yeah Chelsea disappointed but Chelsea are A decent team and they've got some good goal scorers And of course they have Some very creative players as well So maybe disappointed not to get A point out of it but home advantage Proved enough in the End for Liverpool so They're going well And the final one Wolves won Manchester City 2 My goodness Wolves give it plenty To Manchester City isn't it Yes and not for the first time Wolves on their day They can do that Bit of controversy about a very late Winner for City John Stone's Late in injury time Debate about Yeah might even have been more I'm not sure it was certainly 94 95 something in that range but Debate about Player offside and interfering with the goalies Line of sight And originally it was Disallowed and then VAR Came in and the referee overturned the decision 50-50 debate On whether it was right I don't think it was Really in the line of sight of the goalie The player They showed that in match of the day last night Yeah Remember he was complaining About it happened in the other game Yeah It wasn't the same really Yes I know And you get a lot of these comparisons Why was this offside and why was the other And in the line of sight If the goalie is stopped If his view is Affected then that's fair enough But I think in this case it wasn't And Stone's just headed it home It was an open header for Larry Yeah yeah He could see it easily So yes While it was Man City again and it looks like it's the Big team getting the decisions against the small team When you actually break it down It probably was the right decision Just disappointed for Wolves that it happened so late There's no chance to respond But in fairness to City They you know They do keep going To the end and again they had conceded I think in this game again early enough They've conceded They're not as tight at the back as You know I'd like to see them For a team that might be looking to go On all four fronts Champions League as well You know they've conceded three times more goals than Liverpool they have nine conceded And you know While they've scored 19 It's still a little bit Worrying they've had a couple of injury problems But they've got a big squad there but look it was a good win It keeps them up there and with Arsenal losing It was a good weekend We'll say for City overall No doubt Right we'll just move on to Next week It's the Bank Holiday next week Is that right? We won't be on anything next week Because of the Bank Holiday But the soccer matches go on anyway Irrespective So I'll take the soccer On the 26th of October The first game I'm down here is Aston Villa vs Bournemouth Yeah well I'm going to go with a home win Now it's Bournemouth You know on the back of A good victory over Arsenal and Villa On a good away win but a home advantage to Villa They're in good form And they're going to climb high so I'm going to go with 2-1 home win to Villa To Villa Right Brentford vs Whitswich So Brentford Going decent as well And it fits me the points for all the different reasons I'm going to go 1-1 on that Honours even Brighton vs Wolverhampton Yeah so Brighton As we mentioned going well And a good as I said Away sort of a victory There in the recent matches Wolves you know Travel well as well But I'm going to give it just on The slightly better footballing ability Of Brighton to go 2-1 Home win for Brighton Right 2-1 for Brighton Everton vs Fulham Yeah and on the back of Recent successes for Everton And the confidence that will be In the squad from the recent win I'd say home advantage will Sneak it for them there and I think I'm going to Give them 3 goals I'm going to go 3-1 For Everton and that Fulham a decent team as well And they'll give Everton Enough on the day but I'm just thinking about The momentum from Everton they should Get a home win 3-1 Right No worries for Southampton They're away to City Manchester City Yes that would be a tricky one so You'd have to put a banker on that for City And you know City Even though they're not really scoring They're dominating so much play I think they had as many shots And dominated play there in the game At the weekend Against Wolves They broke all records I think For maybe shots and domination Of possession For an away team but they're continuing to do that We know they've always done it but they seem to be doing it Even more so now but look at You still have to find the back of the net They're not free scoring Haaland has gone Quite for a couple of matches but look at Definitely Home win for City and I think they will go to town I think they'll get an early goal And I think they're going to get 4 and they're going to go 4-0 to City on that one home win For Manchester City they're definitely going to win Right we'll move on To some of the Arsenal Versus Liverpool Yeah a great one A great sort of one of the Great rivalries there In the 80s and 90s I suppose and still To this day Arsenal look They'll be looking to get back on winning ways They can't afford to lose any more ground And a perfect way to take the Table toppers on and to beat them It's a difficult one I'm going to go for a home win To Arsenal on the basis that they They really need to and I'm sure They get a kick up the backside from the manager Arteta after The last subordinate It'll be tight but 2-1 Liverpool won't be easily beaten They said they're very good defensively but I think it's nearly like a cup final For Arsenal they can't afford to lose To Liverpool and it's a real Six pointer and they're already As I said behind Liverpool and City It's a banker for Arsenal to win They have to, I'll go 2-1 But Liverpool will be tough to beat That'll be a sell out I presume Oh I'm sure yes It'll be one for Even the Newcastle will be tuned into that Because it's always a great Match At 2 o'clock On the same day Chelsea At home to Newcastle Yeah so look at Newcastle on the back of that loss They'll be trying to get back To getting a good result But away to Chelsea Not an easy one, Chelsea look at They have other ideas and they've got a lot of Free scoring ability In the team And they have scored numerous goals On numerous occasions so I'm going to go with Chelsea, I think Newcastle are Very stingy in the goal department And I see Chelsea Getting three in this one I think Newcastle are very creative and also likely To score a goal or two Nicholas Jackson there for Chelsea as well And I'm going to go 3-1 to Chelsea Home win Goal win for Chelsea Right the next one, Crystal Palace Versus Tottenham Hotspur Yeah another London derby So look at Spurs They're certainly going to create chances And if they can take There's no doubt about it, they'd be top Of the table if they were taking the chances A percentage of the chances that they create They're steady creating I think they're starting to find a bit of form They substituted James Maddison at half time when they were Struggling At the weekend And transformed In the second half there So I think Pochettino might be Making, not Pochettino I should say Pasticoglou Is the Spurs manager Making some difficult decisions there Because Maddison would be one of the creative Players but it worked when he took him off At half time and I think there might be A few more hard decisions there from players Who were not up to speed And I'm going to go an away win, I'm going to go 3-1 Spurs away win On the basis that they'll take the chances That they create Right so that's 3-1 For Spurs Right, interesting one West Ham at home To Manchester United They don't need the pints anyway They do They do indeed You'd say home advantages might mean Something there, now United are the sort of team That can travel and get points when they Need, I have a funny feeling they're not the sort Of team, they come, they play their best On the back of defeat, now they've had a good home win They might be fully At the races, that's the kind of My analogy on that Because it's so topsy turvy with United And West Ham would like to get A decent result, I'm going to go with a One all draw, I don't think it'll be a worst result For West Ham and maybe not the worst one For United, but it'll be an interesting one As I said West Ham after losing To Spurs, they want To have a little bit of consistency At home like all teams And I'm going to go 1-1 If there was to be a winner I would go with West Ham But I'll give United the Benefit of the doubt that they get a point Yeah, yeah Okay Conor that's about it I think For this week, we'll speak to you Next week So we'll speak to you in a Five minutes time, thanks for
