[net.sport] Predicitions

Well, folks, now for my 2p's worth:

The FA Cup Final will again feature Watford and Everton, with Watford
winning 2-1.  Everton, however, will hold on to win the League by
1 point over Liverpool.  UEFA Cup bids will go to: Manchester U,
Arsenal, Tottenham, and Nottingham Forest.  City, Oxford, and Birmingham
will replace Stoke, Coventry, and Sunderland.

Aberdeen will again win the league and the Cup.

And in cricket, ENGLAND will win the Ashes, 2-1.

I hasten to disagree with your prediction for Watford.
I happen to see a potential Derby match between the two Merseysiders.
Liverpool will win, after a replay(yes, that's right, a replay).

  Everton, however, will hold on to win the League by
> 1 point over Liverpool.

Whoah, boy! Liverpool may be hot, but even I, a Liverpool fan, don't think
they will continue there pace. Those cup runs have to do something to one's
stamina.  Everton will win, but by 4 points over Spurs, with Liverpool
right behind.

The rest of your predictions I don't know enough at this present time to
discuss. Maybe later.

For this I just have to say;  DREAM ON, BUDDY, DREAM ON.

Sincerely yours,

My picks are Manchester United ( completely unbiased ) and probably
Liverpool ( since they aren't going to win the League ). Unfortunately
that means Liverpool will win 3-1 ( ManU leading a half time ).

The ordering for the League will be Everton, 3pts back will be Tottenham,
1 or 2 pts to Liverpool and the Man U ( damn! )

The second division will be ( in order ) Birmingham, Blackburn and Man City
by 1 pt over Oxford

>And in cricket, ENGLAND will win the Ashes, 2-1.
...and will be a competition between two underdogs..:-) ( I refer of course
to the world champianship cricket in the process of being completed as
I type. England, Australia and Sri Lanka were knocked out of the early
rounds. The final is/was between India and Pakistan ).

Predictiong the FA Cup is always dangerous, Any of our predicted teams
could be drawn against each other in a semifinal.  So I shall stand by
my pick.

A replay isn't all that suprising.  Three of the last four have needed replays.

What, no faith? :-)  As Liverpool will go out in the semi's (according to my
picks), they will have time to make a run on the title, against a fading
Everton.

Really!  The last series was 2-1 for Australia in Australia.  England have
improved, if their recent performance in India is any judge, and Australia
have slipped a little.

More importantly, the players suspended from international cricket for their
tour to South Africa have their suspensions ending, and will be eligible
for the tests against Australia.  I think England have a really good chance
this time.
