Archived tips :

Arsenal vs Sunderland
Shooter : They're in, they're out - it seems the Gunners can't decide whether to stay in the title race or settle for third. Well this is a chance to really get in the mix by creaming the hapless Cats, who have somehow become embroiled in a relegation battle. I'll say 4-1.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Even Arsenal's keeper dilemma shouldn't prove too troublesome in this one given Sunderland's shocking away record. I just cannot see the Black Cats scoring, so I'll back the Gunners to win 3-0.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Portsmouth vs Stoke City
Shooter : Poor old Pompey are penniless, perilous and pointless...if they make it to the end of the season it'll be miracle, so forget about a survival battle. Stoke will tip up at Fratton Park smarting from what should've been a midweek win over Man City, so I'm going for 0-1.
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : The Potters don't win too many on their travels, but their away record isn't as bad as made out, and defensively, they're pretty sound. Pompey's perils go from bad to worse, so don't expect a result here. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
West Ham vs Hull City
Shooter : The Tigers were tamed at Ewood last time out, while the Hammers earned a much-needed win over Brum which pulled them out of the dropzone. Zola's men, under Gold n Sullivan, are on the up if you ask me, so I'm backing them to win 2-0 in this one.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Hammers are a team on the rise, but a home clash with relegation rivals Hull still represents a massive game. This tipster was in Hull earlier this week and the banner at the docks declared it was the 'Home of winners and champions'. I'm not so sure about that, though do expect a surprise draw. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Wolves vs Chelsea
Shooter : Wolves may have beaten Redknapp's Londoners at Molineux in their last game, but Ancelotti's Blues will deliver some capital punishment on the Black Country hosts, as they're way stronger in every single position - even when missing lothario left-back Ashley Cole! 0-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Pool panel says 'away win'. The Blues simply have way too much firepower and muscle for Wolves, and weakened team or otherwise, it can only be a guaranteed three points for Chelsea. 0-4
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Aston Villa vs Burnley
Shooter : O'Neill's Villans need to ensure they're heroes at the final whistle if they really want to test the Big Four this season, and I simply can't see anyway that Brian Law's Clarets leave Villa Park with anything but sore bums in this one. 3-0 to the hosts.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Claret and blue vs claret and blue - but really, there can only be one winner - and it's not Brian Laws' outfit. Burnley will make Villa work for the points though. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Fulham vs Birmingham City
Shooter : McLeish's men left London feeling blue after defeat at Upton Park, but I think they'll learn their lesson from that setback and aim to pinch a point at Craven Cottage. Fulham are damn fine at home, but I just think the Midlanders will keep things tight in a 1-1 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Blues have hit a little bit of a sticky patch following on from their fine recent form, but that was inevitable given they were punching way above their weight. And though Fulham are solid at home, I have a sneaky suspicion the points will be going back to the Midlands. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Man City vs Liverpool
Shooter : Man City were incredibly lucky to pinch a point at the Potteries in midweek, but this game will be more suited to Mancini's men as the ball will stay on the floor for a start - and I reckon Rafa's Reds will be rumbled on the road again after their defeat at Arsenal. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : A massive, massive game this one in the race to finish fourth. City will probably pick an attacking side and I think have a better team than the visitors, who still look short of options. Bellamy to star and the Blues to prevail. 3-2
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Wigan Ath vs Tottenham
Shooter : Tottenham won't be able to play their flowing passing game on the cabbage patch that is the DW Stadium pitch - but they'll simply play to Crouch's strengths against a Latics team who might be a bit knackered after playing Bolton in midweek. A gritty 1-2 away win.
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : 9-1 anyone? Well, not this time, but Wigan, for me, are one of the worst sides in this division and will do well to survive this season. Spurs really need to win here if they're to challenge for fourth and I'm backing them to do it here. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Bristol City vs West Brom
Shooter : The Robins thought they'd pinched three precious points against Leicester in midweek but the fantastic Foxes also had a cunning late plan, while Albion have a fab away record and drew at Cardiff so will fancy their chances of picking up something here. I'll go for 2-2.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Baggies have a very impressive record on their travels having only lost once. And the Robins, while decent on their home patch, have hit a lull recently, so back the away win in this one. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Plymouth Argyle vs Leicester
Shooter : Argyle gave the 'Green Aaaaarrrrmy' hope of a brave survival bid with a fine win at Barnsley, but were largely outplayed by Swansea in midweek and were lucky to pick up a point. The Foxes are looking good for a top-six spot if you ask me, so I'm going for a 1-2 away win.
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : These two sides could well head in opposite directions at the end of this season, but an away win is still by no means a certainty. Former Pilgrim Paul Gallagher looks a man in form and I think he'll fire them to a hard-earned point. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
