Part-time Pundit

It’s Finally Here!

Lost in the end of season abyss for the last few months (aka my bosses fist has been so far up my ass I could taste his misses), I’m now back and what better way to return than by coming to you live and full-time from the actual World Cup. On the 16th June myself [...]

Predictions – La Liga – Week 38

These predictions may be a little late, but they’re up and being the last game of the season ‘n all, I think I could be forgiven. Our friends at Heads or Tails, who have done a remarkable job all year providing us with La Liga predictions suggest that even though the title will stay in [...]

Predictions – Premier League – Week 38

With the final game week of the season only hours away, all eyes are on two teams… well four if you count their opponents. As for me, I’ve decided to allow my predictions to speak for themselves and for the last time this season, this is how I’ve picked’em. I predict: Arsenal 3 v 2 [...]

Predictions – La Liga – Week 32

Uh oh, Pellegrinios! Somebody’s in trouble and our amigos at Heads or Tails (along with the rest of the Spanish media) are pointing their fingers at the man in the hot seat.

Predictions – La Liga – Week 31

Finally the big kahuna is here! The match that will almost certainly decide the winner of the 2009/10 La Liga season. Our amigos at Heads or Tails say it’s going to be a tough one to call. Sure both teams are kicking arse in their own respective ways with their own superstars, but how can [...]

Arsenal and Chelsea’s title plans could be derailed this weekend as they prepare to slug out their respective matches against two stubborn teams from the midlands; Birmingham just refuse to lose at home and Villa have had the upper hand on ‘The Pensioners’ this season all ready.
