a promise though,the DT would be putting up selected games from other leagues.this is an exclusive in Singapore.look out for it...hidden under the regular repertoire

EPL

Everton vs Man U-season opener to end with a 1-1 draw or 0-1 win
Fulham vs Birmingham-for 2 evenly matched teams with slightly more firepower than a mid table team,a 1-1 draw is more or less certain
Man C vs WBA-Man C to start the year with a bang
Portsmouth vs Spurs-new look Spurs congested in midfield should find this a little difficult,but not enough to lose by more than 1
Sunderland vs Charlton-Charlton should find this one hard too,but they wouldn't fall easy prey to the black cats
Villa vs Bolton-bolton's clout in the transfer market should pay off with rich dividends at 1-2
West Ham vs Blackburn-Blackburn should win this 1-0 so that they wouldn't be branded as cowards
Boro vs Pool-looks like a foregone conclusion.but it's extremely tricky to predict.I'll go for a 1-0 Pool win

Arsenil vs Newcastle-Vieira less goners vs Magpies wrecked by Souness.they can't stop Chelsea
Wigan vs Chelsea-only fools bet Wigan win or a 4-0 Chelsea thrashing.the most cleverest is a 3-1 or 2-0 win for the visitors

Ligue 1

PSG vs Toulouse-the Parisians are the team to beat at the moment.unfortunately they would still be winning 2-1
St Etienne vs Metz-1-1 draw at least,or a hosts win at 2-1
Nancy vs Lens-Lens to find this easier than Marseille.0-2 seems very likely
Auxerre vs Bordeaux-Bordeaux 2-1
Le Mans vs Rennes-Rennes should get their season going at 2-1
Lille vs Troyes-way too strong Lillois go goal-crazy.bet to win 3-0,3-1 or 2-1
Nantes vs Ajaccio-Les Canaris too,are the team to beat,but they would find the Corsicans less easy.1-0,2-2 or 2-1 is more or less decent
Nice vs Sochaux-Nicely done up at 2-1

Strasbourg vs Monaco-Monaco might have better luck in the Alsace.bet them to grind out a 1-0 win
Marseille vs Lyon-the only time the Marseillais can hope for a draw is when Carew is suspended or injured.since he's in great form at the moment,Lyon should find this okay at 2-1 or 1-0

Bundesliga

Hertha Berlin vs Frankfurt-1-1 or 2-1
Leverkusen vs Bayern-the big match of the week.Bayern finds this easier at 2-1
M'Gladbach vs Wolfsburg-2-2 if both sides are almost similar in strength

Kaiserslautern vs Duisburg-1-0
Arminia vs Hamburg-1-1 or 0-1
Nuremburg vs Hanover-1-1

Stuttgart vs Cologne-Podolski has no solution against Stuttgart.1-0 is more likely
Mainz vs Bremen-Bremen should find this easier prey at 2-0
