Weekend Championship Review/World Cup Draw

The betting drought continues; only the mighty Addicks came in for me! West Brom, Bristol City, Sheffield United and Colchester all failed to win. Bear with me here, I will get this right. It's like waiting for a bus....

Only four correct results this weekend too - with one correct score. Within a goal of three other correct scores but reversed by Barnsley, Leicester, Palace, Hull and Plymouth.

I think this week will bring a semblance of predictablity to the proceedings as class will show over two games in a week which sees consecutive home or away games for everyone (Sheff Utd and Burnley at home for us). It's for this reason I believe we will be clear second come 5pm on Saturday if we can pick up maximum points. This is very important for our promotion hopes because we have another two games the week after - Cardfiff away and Ipswich at home - which could see us get within touching distance of Watford. If we can do this, it could be a very profitable Christmas and we could turn it into a two-from-three race if, as I believe, us , Watford and West Brom can get some distance from the chasers.

World Cup Draw

Hot on the heels of European failure, England and Scotland found out today who they will need to overcome to qualify for South Africa in 2010. England will again face Croatia and will also need to overcome Ukraine if they are to qualify - Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra should not present problems, even to an under-performing England side. Scotland face Holland and Norway as well as Macedonia and Iceland. The group winners qualify as do 8 of the best 9 runners-up.....

We deserve our biggest gate of the season this week although neither Sheffiled United or Burnley are likely to bring more than 1,000 fans, so we might have to wait for that....

Up the Addicks!
