Funnily enough theres not a whole pile that interests me at first glance this weekend, It’s a busy weekend ahead with all the rugby and football action to chose from so lets get started.
Watford V Blackpool
Watford look set for a quick return back to the premiership. They sit top of the league with a 100% home record, The strength and quality of their squad so far has been of a team of a much higher standard and playing Blackpool today shouldn’t scare them too much. Blackpool have played some very good football this season, but, like so many others in the division they are not so hot on the road and a trip to Vicarage road should be too big of an ask here. I think Watford should win today and maybe with a little to spare so il take them – 1 on the Asian handicap
Gillingham V Leeds
Leeds are on a hot streak at the moment, 7 from 7 has them installed as league favourites even taking into consideration the 15 point deduction handed to them at the start of the year. They have to lose that streak at some stage but I think they are good enough to make it 8 / 8 against a very average Gillingham side. Leeds are a class above most of the teams in this division, they have a point to prove and should get another 3 points today.
And finally
West Ham V Arsenal
The hammers have been Arsenal’s bogey side for a while now and I can see Wenger plotting revenge, especially after last years touch line bust up with Pardew. Pardew has since departed but the ill feelings will remain. They are playing excellent football at the moment, playing with supreme confidence and hitting goals for fun.
West Ham has a lot of attacking options too, but their defence is not good at all. They are allowing to their opponents many goal scoring opportunities and doing that against team like Arsenal will cost them. Goals aplenty is the call with Arsenals confidence and talent to prove too much for West Ham this time around

A disapointing day overall, Arsenal get the win 1 - 0 but could have had at least 3 more goals but they didnt have the luck in front of goal.
Watford were up 1 - 0 but leaked a late leveller and couldnt get the winner despite plenty of pressure in the closing stages.
The leeds result annoyed me greatly as they were 1 - 0 up before having 2 men sent off and conceded a late late goal to draw 1 - 1. Going on reports of they game they were most hard done by but il keep an eye on them in the future. I still believe they are a class apart in the league and will win it out in the end.
I should also add that i studied the rugby but just couldnt put my finger on a game where i was confident enough. In hindsight it was a good decision as Fiji surprised Wales and Scotland scraped through against the Italians. i will have a look at tomorrows games now.
-3.68 points today
