Dan’s EPL Predictions
Newcastle 1-3 Spurs
Eddie Howe has done well to get a response out of the Toon given their injuries but dealing with Spurs attack might be too much for a makeshift back 4 to handle.
Atlanta’s shock win at Anfield means Arsenal vs Bayern Munich might decide if 5th in the Prem is enough to qualify for the Champions League.
So, win and we are into the Semi Finals in Europe. Lose and we might help Spurs not qualify at all. It’s a win-win.
Brentford 3-2 Sheffield United
A golden chance for Brentford to get a rare win which might be enough to stay up.
Sheffield United have played with more freedom recently now that they have accepted relegation is a formality. Even then though defensively they remain out of their depth.
Burnley 2-2 Brighton
Last weekend was probably Burnley’s final chance to make a fight out of staying up.
Once they accept relegation is a formality they can probably play with some freedom.
The issue for both these teams is they play well but don’t always have the end product.
Man City 5-0 Luton
Sometimes you need bits of luck in a title race that is out of your control.
With all respect to Luton, what a great game for the champions to have sandwiched in between 2 legs with Real Madrid
The advantage Pep Guardiola has over Arteta and Klopp is he can field an entirely different team at the weekend compared to midweek and still win comfortably.
City might try to close the gap between them and our goal difference.
Nott Forest 3-1 Wolves
Gary O’Neil has made zero secret of his belief that Wolves have been hard done by this season. Their disallowed equaliser against West ham wasn’t quite ‘the worst decision I had seen in football’ like their manager claimed – but it was wrong.
I think he’s deep down more hurt by the FA Cup defeat, a loss his team can’t shake off.
Forest simply need the points more. They know the same time they are playing; Luton are at the Etihad. All the motivation the home side need.
Cherries 1-0 Man United
I can’t believe how Many United can be so bad at Brentford and yet then show resilience against Liverpool.
We don’t know which United show up. Not just each week but in an actual game.
They rely on moments of individual quality and are conceding too many chances every match.
Liverpool 2-1 Palace
Out of the top 3 Liverpool are probably playing the worse.
They look tired as games get to the latter stages.
The advantage they have is the Anfield factor. Such a unique atmosphere it can dictate results and get Liverpool over the line even if they don’t play well.
West Ham 1-1 Fulham
West Ham’s small squad struggle to balance European with domestic football. You can’t blame the Hammers for prioritising Thursday’s second leg over this Derby.
Dropped points Sunday will be worth it if it means progress in the Europa League
Arsenal 3-2 Aston Villa
So, here’s where I’m at …. I have been burnt so many times that I’m constantly waiting for the worse to happen, meaning I can’t enjoy a moment of this title race. To be fair the only way a young squad gets that mentality is by getting over the line. One year it will happen.
Yet week by week we are ticking off the games and suddenly there is 7 to go in the League.
We still need the other two to drop points somewhere as it’s unlikely we win all of those fixtures.
I saw bad habits creeping back into our play on Tuesday, reminiscent of the run in 12 months ago. I hope though that’s exclusive to Europe.
We will most likely kick off in third place against a dangerous Aston Villa but one who concede chances away from home.
It would be irony if Unai Emery is the man to break our hearts. He was sacked after being told 5th was not good enough and watched as the same fans then called 8th, 8th and 5th progress!
Chelsea 2-1 Everton
Everton should get another points deduction for having the audacity to appeal against their latest one.
Let me stress, the Toffees have had sanctions this season because for years they were openly breaking financial fair play rules.
The Premier League was literally telling them to stop spending as they were over the threshold, and they arrogantly thought the league wouldn’t have the gumption to take away points.
I’m amazed at how much sympathy they keep getting. If we want Man City to be held accountable if they are guilty then we need to have zero tolerance.
In the summer set an outline of what sanctions apply to what breaches, because at the moment they are making up how many points to take away.
Chelsea beat Man United then drew with the bottom 2!
So, who knows if they show up Monday.
In theory the visitors should want this more, but will Sean Dyche be positive enough?
Dan
Top 24 qualify for euros.

So Prince has wrestled back the lead, the top five have tighten their grip on Dan’s weekly game predictor table.
Surely this is the most exciting year on the table have seen.
Yes, it’s been exciting and any of the top ten I believe can win the bragging rights.

Emery was not sacked for finishing 5th, you can as well look up his position when he got fired!
didnt say he was
i said 5th wasnt good enough which it wasn’t
5 th and Baku ( how that season ended ) would have an impact on decision to sack him
go look at articles when that season ended and see how gooners reacted
Not as I read it Dan
“He was sacked after being told 5th wasn’t good enough”. Are you trying to spin 5th and Baku as being the reason for his dismissal? Of course it was a poor return from a multiple trophy winner but I thought it was the second season where we were somewhere near 14th in the Autumn that did for Emery.
Anyway
Thanks for your hard work- despite our frequent differences, it is much appreciated that you put so much time and effort into it over the course of the season
not deflecting at all
yes 5th and Baku would have been factored in to the decision to sack him
i’ll send you both links when we lost to Chelsea in Baku and drew with Brighton and you will find fans saying 5th was not acceptable
No need Dan. There is an implication in your piece that it was the club and not the views of JA posters. Just not very clear
Obviously!
Another article that got you commenting though mate
And THERE in print is the REAL reason for DANS NEGATIVITY.
What an admission too!!
Admin comment – so because you don’t like his opinion you have the right to attack him in every article?
Jon you have two days to stop your constant attacks on Dan.
If you don’t like his opinion then give your side. One more bit of slander and you are gone. No more chances….
If you want to say goodbye then continue your vitriol.
Yes I admit it guys
I write things in the hope that people…..umm ….read and comment lol
No different to how a podcast wants you to listen 😄

Dan, re the 8th, 8th & 5th which causes so many disputes. There was progress, as the points total on the second 8th was 5 more (55pts & 61pts). Also more goals. Not massive improvement I know, but improvement all the same.
56pts & 61pts.😜🙄.
