On this week’s Phoenix Sport we followed the first weekend of the Premier League, which provided few shocks – though perhaps few expected Fulham to fall to a 2-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace given their summer spending.
With the season now in full swing, I asked some of our DJs to put their footballing reputations on the line and join me in predicting how the table will look after 38 games.
My Picks:
Top 4 – Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea
Relegated – Cardiff, Huddersfield, Brighton
Top Scorer – Aguero
Paul Golder:
Top 4 – Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd
Relegated – Southampton, Newcastle, Cardiff City
Top Scorer – Aguero
Steve Robertson:
Top 4 – Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Spurs
Top Scorer – Kane
Mike Jones:
Top 4 – Liverpool, Man City, Spurs, Chelsea
Relegated – West Ham, Cardiff, Brighton
Top Scorer – Salah
Ben Simmons:
Top 4 – Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs
Relegated – Huddersfield, Southampton, Cardiff
Also on the show this week, I introduced a new feature – Guess The Season (I will come up with a snappier name at a later date, or maybe you’d like to help).
Listen to the last hour as I give clues, play songs from the time and a few movie clips to help you pinpoint the season I’m looking for.
On top of that, I posed the following head scratching question:
Who has played in a Merseyside derby, a North London derby, a Manchester Derby, a Tyne-Wear derby and a West London derby in the Premier League?
Listen for the answer!
I’m away next weekend, but will be back on Saturday August 25 with more scores, music and maybe a slight tan. You lucky lot.
