Emirates FA Cup 4th Round Predictions

Chorley v Wolves

Chorley have done brilliantly to reach the 4th round but this should be a step too much for them.

Prediction 0-3

Southampton v Arsenal

The Saints edged past Shrewsbury on Tuesday evening but I do not see them getting past the holders.

Prediction 1-2

Barnsley v Norwich

I expect Norwich to make changes as they continue their promotion push, which could give Barnsley the edge here.

Prediction 2-1

Brighton v Blackpool

Blackpool knocked out Premier League West Brom in the 3rd round, but I think they will fall here.

Prediction 2-0

Millwall v Bristol City

There is something about Millwall at The Den in this competition. I would not be surprised if they got through this tie.

Prediction 2-1

Sheffield United v Plymouth

The Blades got their first win of the season in the previous round and should get another one against another League One side.

Prediction 2-0

Swansea v Nottingham Forest

A tasty looking all-Championship affair in South Wales - with a resurgent Forest side the visitors.

Prediction 1-1 (Swansea to win on penalties)

West Ham v Doncaster

West Ham have been hit and miss recently but should be too strong for Doncaster here.

Prediction 2-0

Cheltenham v Manchester City

The home side will be hoping the visitors are in a merciful mood, but this could be the biggest result of the round.

Prediction 0-5

Chelsea v Luton

Chelsea, and manager Frank Lampard, absolutely have to win this game. I can't see them having too many issues against Luton.

Prediction 3-0

Brentford v Leicester

If there is going to be a shock in this round then I am predicting it to be the exit of the Foxes.

Prediction 2-1

Fulham v Burnley

After their midweek win at Liverpool, Burnley should be full of confidence, however, I am backing Fulham to edge this one.

Prediction 1-0

Manchester United v Liverpool

When these two met in the league last weekend, it was far from a thrilling spectacle. I would expect much of the same here, with Klopp demanding a response after losing to Burnley in the league last time out.

Prediction 1-1 (Liverpool to win on penalties)

Everton v Sheffield Wednesday

Carlo Ancelotti will have surely learned his lesson after their lucky escape in the last round. This should be more comfortable for them though.

Prediction 2-0

Wycombe v Tottenham

Wycombe's win over Preston in the 3rd round shocked many - surely that won't be repeated here?

Prediction 0-3

Bournemouth v Crawley 

Bournemouth should be too strong for Crawley here, but need to be wary after their visitors demolished Leeds in the last round.

Prediction 2-0


Aston Villa v Newcastle (Premier League rearranged game)

Dean Smith will be eager to get his first team back out on the pitch - it has been three weeks since their last league outing. While they will be ready to go, there is always a chance after a lengthy period off that they could be a yard off the pace. Newcastle, however, are winless in nine and look like a relegated team. If they are not careful, they could be in a relegation scrap before too long. I can't see them getting anything at Villa Park.

Prediction 2-0

Nobody Is Perfect

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. Some of you might have been expecting a football blog today, however, due to the international break, I thought I would give you something with a bit more substance. Before I begin, I want to thank Shan for her incredible article on Monday about mental wellbeing during the current pandemic. There were some highly inspirational words that we can all live by during these difficult times. If you show it enough support then I might even ask Shan to come back for a part 2? For today's topic, I wanted to do a follow-up to Chloe Johnson's amazing guest article which she wrote about how the impact of social media affects the way we all see ourselves, and the way we all strive to match the 'perfection' of models with the help of Instagram filters. As Chloe made the point of saying, these are not real. But our mind does not know this and always tells us that we must improve, even when there is nothing wrong with us. So...

FA Cup Final Preview - Arsenal v Chelsea

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. What a funny week we have had. Scotland are beginning to ease their way out of lockdown, while some parts of England are heading towards a second one. Some tests events on getting supporters back into sports venues have been cancelled, while claims have been made this morning that the death numbers reported by the Government are inflated. It's becoming very difficult to know who or what to believe in the current climate. We all should just continue to follow our local advice and hopefully as a country we are moving in the right direction towards returning to a normal life. I feel like this was the only topic I could choose for today's blog (I am an Arsenal fan after all). The biggest game of the English football season. A historic competition entered by over 750 teams back in August, and now only 2 remain. Not only is it a major cup final, but it's also a London derby. These 2 teams quite often compete for silver...

I Have A Voice

Good afternoon and welcome back to the second instalment of my blog. Thank you to all those who read my post on Monday. I was not expecting so many of you to take time out your day to learn about me (to be fair you probably had nothing better to do). But seriously though, as I write this the 'This Is Me' post has 260 views! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single one of you. I thought I would follow on from the previous post and let you in to another part of my life. This is a very sensitive topic, one I very rarely talk about with anyone. I am expecting to get somewhat emotional during this, but hopefully this will inspire people to open up about their inner most thoughts and feelings. The hardest part about writing this is the constant reminder of the negativity that was put on my life on a daily basis. Before I get into my story, let me provide you with some background first. People get bullied. Others are bullies. The way I see it, bullies are only mean to oth...
