Premiership Picks

Midweek edition. Last week: 4/8 right result, 0 right scores. Thus far: 10/18, 1 right.

Birmingham City v. Middlesbrough: 2-2. I think both these teams are headed for mid-table obscurity.
Portsmouth v. Aston Villa: 1-0. I'm sure Villa are better, but I'm not sure they're all that good right now.
Sunderland v. Manchester City: 1-2. Sunderland have problems in the back.
Arsenal v. Fulham: 2-0. Arsenal rebound from a disappointing performance.
Chelsea v. West Bromwich Albion: 4-0. Essien makes a big impact. On track for the title.
Blackburn Rovers v. Tottenham Hotspur: 0-1. Spurs the big surprise. They'll stay hot for a while, then cool off around the holidays.
Bolton Wanderers v. Newcastle United: 2-0. Bolton plays well at Reebok, Souness is gone before October.
