Fulham V Birmingham : Now this a real six pointer
Today's game at Craven Cottage can only be described in two words : six pointer.
Both sides currently occupy 19th and 18th respectively in the Premier League table and realistically both need all three points to keep their survival hopes alive.
This game could of been an easy three points for Birmingham, that was if Fulham hadn't of come back from 2-0 down last week at Man City to win 3-2.
Birmingham could be sitting comfortably in 16th if they had of held onto a 2-0 lead at St Andrews last week against Liverpool but they ended up drawing 2-2.
At 4:50 today we should have a much much clearer of image of which of these sides are going down. Both will be looking for the three points obviously and neither side really want a draw.
If results go against today, Fulham could go down. Birmingham on the other could be as good as down if Reading and Bolton win their respective matches today.
It's going to be an edgy affair at Craven Cottage today but personally I feel Fulham have the momentum and they will nick it by a goal.
Accumulator of the Day
Today's accumulator of the day consists of five matches in the Premier League. First of all I have gone for Man United to beat West Ham @ 1/6. Although a crap price it is definitely bound to happen.
Then we move onto the three o'clock kick-off's. I have gone for Blackburn to beat Derby @ 2/7. Aston Villa to beat Wigan @ 4/7. To round off the three o'clock's I have gone for a draw in the Middlesbrough and Portsmouth game.
Finally to round the whole accumulator off I have gone for Bolton to beat Sunderland and steer clear of the relegation zone @ 4/6. In total the accumulator pays just over 12/1 and in my book that is a very handy price.
Spurs face a fight with Real for £24 million Spanish striker
Tottenham are to be engaged in a massive bidding war this summer for the signature of Valencia striker David Villa, who is now wanted by Real Madrid. (Various)
The Spanish international is said to be interested in leaving Valencia at the end of the season after a poor campaign for the La Liga outfit. Villa has been linked with several clubs in recent weeks including Spurs and Real.
Spurs boss Juande Ramos is said to be very keen on bringing the 26-year old to White Hart Lane and he is willing to bid as much as £24 million for the player.
In my book, Villa is an outstanding player. He has a record of a goal every other game wherever he has been in his career including his international team Spain. I feel he is as good as, if not better, than Liverpool striker Fernando Torres (and that's pretty good).
Barca offer Henry and £15 million for Gunners star player
Barcelona are ready to make an audacious bid for Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas by offering the North London club £15 million plus former Gunners legend Thierry Henry. (Daily Star)
Fabregas has been a long term target of the La Liga giants and although Arsene Wenger hasn't been willing to listen to any offers for him in the past, this offer may just tickle his fancy.
Henry left the Gunners last season and has so far failed to produce any kind of form at Barca. That has led to intense speculation that he will return to the Premier League this summer, with Arsenal and Chelsea said to be interested.
I don't really know what to make of this offer. It certainly is very interesting. Henry will always be a Gunners legend and I always felt he would come back to them. Meanwhile Fabregas has certainly established himself as a bit of a hero in those parts so....
