going ga-ga over some fixtures...as it would be this week.Heineken Cup,Il derby dello Capitale x2(Rome,Vienna),low countries double bill and Madridista fireballs

Blackburn-Birmingham-score draw
Arsenil-Man City-reckless Man C win on the cards
Villa-Wigan-Wigan won't be that lucky this time.2-1 to Villa
Fulham-Liverpool-Pool 0-0 or 1-0
Man U-Spurs-close fight and Man U should work to a 1-0 win
Portsmouth-Charlton-1-1

Newcastle-Sunderland-Newcastle win,at long last
West Ham-Boro-Boro should be easier to predict at 2-1
Bolton-West Brom-WBA goes back to earth with a thud
Everton-Chelsea-looks like there's a thrashing match involving Chelsea

Metz-Lyon-Les Gones at 3-1 or 2-1
Nice-Auxerre-score draw at 2-2 or 1-1
Toulouse-Bordeaux-les Bordelais easily wins this at 1-0,but they would find it hard if it involves 2-1
Lille-Nantes-2-1
PSG-Nancy-1-0 at most

Le Mans-Strasbourg-Strasbourg on a high at 3-1
Sochaux-Monaco-1-1
Troyes-Lens-punching bag theory at work.2-0 at most

Bayern-Duisburg-another thrashing game at 3-1
Frankfurt-Cologne-1-0 to Cologne

Chievo-Cagliari-1-1
Lecce-Juventus-Juventus at least 2 goals
Livorno-Reggina-1-1
Sampdoria-Siena-2-0
Treviso-Empoli-Empoli recording a rare win at 2-1
Udinese-Inter-draw or Inter 1-0
Milan-Palermo-2-1
Roma-Lazio-ok...since both teams look okay,a 1-1 draw looks likely though I'd most likely pick Roma for a win

Sevilla-Alaves-1-0 or home wins of any score
Barcelona-Osasuna-3-2 or 2-2

Cadiz-Athletic-1-0.this is a very risky approach
Celta-Espanyol-1-1 or 2-1
Villareal-Mallorca-1-0 at last
Sociedad-Deportivo-Depor 2-1
Getafe-Zaragoza-Getafe runs out of luck again.1-0 to Zaragoza unless they run out of luck first,then which I'd safely put a 2-1 Getafe win
Malaga-Betis-Betis 2-1
Racing-Atletico-2-1 to Atletico
Real Madrid-Valencia-Villa scores,Robinho scores,Raul scores,Mista or Aimar may score and so if everything goes well it's a 2-1 Real win or a 2-2 draw

PSV-Ajax-PSV looks better at 2-0
Club Brugge-Anderlecht-almost equal weightage,but I think if it doesn't end in a score draw then Brugge looks more likely to win
Austria Vienna-Rapid-this isn't quite well known,but since my fave colour is purple,there's no prizes for guessing who will win at 1-0

Sharks-Munster-close call,but I think Sale should look as if they are having a jumble sale
Ulster-Bennetton Treviso-thrashing on the cards
Bourgoin-Warriors-Jonny should look okay,or i think they will do decently all the same

Blues-Tykes-Blues win this narrowly
Calvisano-Perpignan-another Italian thrashing
Tigers-Clermont Auvergne-not go in graa-graa over this fixture,but i think Clermont looks to win by the odd penalty
Toulouse-Llanelli Scarlets-the scarlet trail of blood will extend all the way from Toulouse to Wales
Leinster-Bath-Leinster at a small margin
Castres-Newport-Gwent Dragons-Dragons win by not more than 10 points

Gunners-London Wasps-anyone not putting a Wasp win will get something like a wasp sting
Ospreys-Stade Francais-not quite a faceoff.Stade to win by a try
Saracens-Biarritz-another close call.I'm actually praying for a Biarritz win
