Beer Fund Raising : 09 - 10 Feb 2008

I think it is a stupid idea to have an extra game overseas just for the sake of money. As if the current fixtures isn't hectic enough. I would have pushed for the opposite direction to have only 18 teams in the top tier and only 34 domestic games per season as per the Serie A of old. No doubt, extra games means extra revenue from gate receipts, TV rights and other related stuff, extra games have a toll on the players' well being and it has been proven, fatigue and injuries are correlated.

Say NO to Game #39!

On the Roy Keane side, they are out of the relegation zone with a good win to bring them to 23 points in 25 games. I supposed if there are 38 games to play and 40 points to ensure premiership survival, I think that as long as the club stays close to the 1-to-1 point-game ratio, the club should be relatively safe as it signals that they are on course to avoid relegation.

A look at the crystal ball and there is a good chance for the Black Cats to climb all the way to mid table as they play Wigan and Derby at home today and a fortnight later respectively. These are great opportunities for 3 points each.

The shock exit of Benjani is good news to Keane as they travel to Fratton Park next week to play Portsmouth. Yet another good chance to take some point(s) home.

Saturday's Picks:

• Getafe - Eat 0.25 ball (Win 1/2)
  

Sunday's Picks:

• ManUtd - Give 1.50 ball (Lose)
  

HUAT AH!!!

Result This Week : 0.5 - 0 - 1

Result This Season: 58 - 8 - 40 = 18-UP as at 11 Feb 2008
