Forget Lawro- Here’s Your FA Cup Predictions

There are bigger fixture lists than this weekend’s but they are only available in paperback.

I’m planning on a pint in my local tonight and they shut at midnight, so you’ll forgive me if I’m briefer than usual.

Arsenal vs Leeds

Difficult to  believe that Leeds will be too phased by a trip to the Emirates. I predict much moaning from Arsene about lack of technical quality in the opposition if he loses, but difficult to see that happening. But Arsenal will get a game alright. Prediction 2-1 Paddy’s Price 17/2

Millwall vs Birmingham

I won’t be hunting this one down in the schedules/bent streams etc… Prediction 1-1 Paddy’s Price 9/2

Fulham vs Peterborough

Blimey Fulham on a cup run? We’ll let you know… Prediction 1-0 Paddy’s Price 13/2

West Ham vs Barnsley

The Ammers have bigger fish to fry than this lot, but their morale couldn’t cope with another fiasco, surely? Prediction 3-1 Paddy’s Price 11/1

Sheffield Utd vs Aston Villa

Gerard Houllier needs this like a hole in the head. Prediction 1-2 Paddy’s Price 15/2

Bolton vs York

Bolton have eyes on this trophy Prediction 3-0 Paddy’s Price 7/1

Blackburn vs QPR

Both teams will be right up for this. Prediction 2-3 Paddy’s Price 35/1

Southampton vs Blackpool

Holloway is supposedly set to field a weakened side. If so I hope they get thumped. And a fine. Prediction 2-1 Paddy’s Price 15/2

Sunderland vs Notts County

Sunderland would fancy a nice cup run. Oh yes they would. Prediction 3-0 Paddy’s Price 91/

Scunthorpe vs Everton

Extra security has been requested to deal with the marauding Mike Parry from TalkSport we are told. Everton may well ignore any crowd trouble and win this. Prediction 1-2 Paddy’s Price 7/1

Stevenage vs Newcastle

Now here’s a team that could genuinely put a Cup run together. Go on the The Toon! Prediction 0-2 Paddy’s Price 7/1

Sunday

Manchester United vs Liverpool

Oh dear. For those of a sensitive disposition, please look away now. I genuinely hope Liverpool don’t get stuffed. Sir Alex is very likely to field a B team.  Prediction 2-0 Paddy’s Price 6/1

Tottenham vs Charlton Athletic

Spurs seem to have the world at their feet. I do hope someone’s told Charlton this. Prediction 2-1 Paddy’s Price 15/2

Chelsea vs Ipswich

Chelsea are in a bad way, but still 367 times better than this lot. Prediction 4-0 Paddy’s Price 10/1

Leicester City vs Manchester City

How the Sven have fallen. Good. Come on City. Prediction 1-4 Paddy’s price 11/1
