The Pieman's Blog, Wednesday, 5 November 2008



Fair play to all you Pieman blog watchers – here’s my latest update………...

The Pieman tipped you the Premier League bottom team Spurs to beat the then leaders Liverpool at White Hart Lane in the current Pieman radio show which was recorded BEFORE the weekend matches were played. You could have got odds of 11-5 against that happening. The Pieman is a great student of the game and will regularly give you tips both on this blog and on the radio show itself...............

The next show will be available to you on Monday November 10. The Pieman wants to get through a busy week of Champions League and UEFA Cup football plus the weekend's domestic programme. However, the updated blogs will now be a regular feature.

First Harry Redknapp at Spurs; now Joe Kinnear at Newcastle. Harry becomes the new Spurs boss – fair play to him! They immediately get their first Premier League win of the season, then draw 4-4 at Arsenal before becoming the first team to beat Liverpool this season. Joe comes in to do a rescue job for Newcastle on a month by month deal, steadies the Tyne boat with some draws before putting back to back wins over West Midlands team West Bromwich Albion and then Aston Villa. Newcastle, who are trying to be sold, should keep Joe until any new owners move in.

Spurs are still bottom; Newcastle have leapt out of the relegation zone as they move SIX places up the Premier League. It is very tight there this season! Spurs are at home to the Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Cup on Thursday (November 6) before playing Manchester City away in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. Newcastle are away to Fulham on Sunday (live on Sky Sports 1 at 4.00 pm).

The biggest match of the weekend is Arsenal at home to Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime on Sky Sports 1 (kick-off 12.45 pm). Both play in the Champions League on Wednesday (November 5) -Arsenal at home to the Istanbul club Fenerbahce while Manchester United play at Celtic. Both English clubs will win with United taking the points as well on Saturday......................

Please keep your emails coming to pm@piemanradio.com and your texts (text pm plus message to 80480). Fair play to you! Remember to keep listening and try those Pukka Pies!

Yours in Pie
The Pieman
