Anderson and Taylor have won it before. from corse178's blog
It could not be tighter at the top of the Championship - heres Ian Holloways Bank Holiday Monday predictions. Green Flyers Jerseys . I cant remember a promotion race like this one involving three teams on the same points and nearly the same goal difference. Its unprecedented. Wouldnt it be amazing if it actually went to an end of season play-off? A play-off before the play-offs? We look at the permutations in a thrilling Championship promotion race Burnley have gone 21 games unbeaten, Brighton went 21 games unbeaten at the start and Middlesbrough had a spell where they didnt concede a goal for 11 games! Theyve all been outrageous. Im fearful for the team that misses out and theyll end up being disappointed going into the play-offs. When you tie this in with Leicester Citys story in the Premier League, its been one of the best seasons ever. Brighton v Derby, Sky Sports 1, Monday, 2.15pmMonday will be a weird day of work for me. Im at Burnley, but its a double header so well be watching this game from the Turf Moor studio. It will be interesting to see the atmosphere change, depending on what Brighton do.What can you say about Brighton? They are just phenomenal. To win seven of their last eight games under this sort of pressure is quite astonishing. Highlights from the Sky Bet Championship between Charlton and Brighton Derby are safe in the play-offs now and I dont think the urge to finish fourth instead of fifth will be a great enough incentive for them to raise their game against Brighton, who will be pumped for this. Dale Stephens has had an outstanding season. Hes a proper player. Hes box-to-box, puts his foot in and chips in with a few goals. Chris Hughton has found a brilliant midfield formula with him and Beram Kayal - its been one of the secrets behind their success. I think Stephens will get the winner.OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-0 (5/1 with Sky Bet) Burnley v QPR, Sky Sports 1, Monday, 4.30pmI cant see Burnley slipping up now. Burnley know its all about winning and going through the right processes. Their process is perfect in every department of their play. Theyve got goals and they are brilliantly well organised without the ball. Burnley have the full package, including the right mentality - they dont get too emotional. Highlights of the Championship match between Preston and Burnley QPR have only won four games away from home all season and they must have their eyes on next season. OLLIE PREDICTS: 3-1 (10/1 with Sky Bet) Walsall v Fleetwood, League One, Sky Sports 1, Monday, 12pmThis is going to be very tough for Fleetwood, as Walsall are having a tremendous season and are chasing down Burton for that final automatic spot. Home win.OLLIE PREDICTS: 2-0 (6/1 with Sky Bet) Ollies earlier predictions...Bolton v Hull, SaturdayI fear for Bolton. Theres a lot of changes going on there and the on-the-pitch stuff probably is taking a back seat as they plan for next season. The club have a huge job on their hands to rebuild. Hull seem in a good place now after a good win in midweek. Theyll be looking to just keep things ticking over in the next few weeks. Abel Hernandez looks a good shout for the opening goal - hes hit a bit of a purple patch. OLLIE PREDICTED: 0-2Sheffield Wednesday v Cardiff, SaturdayCardiff need to approach this game like a play-off second leg. They must win to keep their season alive. I thought Sheffield Wednesday had completed the job last weekend, but Darren Bents late goal has kept open the door. I love Sheffield Wednesdays manager Carlos Carvalhal. He talks sense and has a clear plan about where he wants them to go. He seems supremely confident in his teams ability. He made the point that they have two chances to seal the final play-off spot and Cardiff just have one. Russell Slades side will have a right go, but Wednesday will come out on top. OLLIE PREDICTED: 3-2Ipswich v MK Dons, SaturdayI hope MK Dons keep the faith with Karl Robinson next season. He deserves it. Its so hard to move forward when youve sold your best players. The way they defend continues to worry me though. Ipswich should have enough to nick this one.I think Ipswich will do well to hold onto Mick McCarthy this summer. Someone with his credibility and know-how will be hot property.OLLIE PREDICTED: 2-0Rotherham v Blackburn, SaturdayI just want to wish Neil Warnock and his wife Sharon all the best. I read that shes been suffering with breast cancer over the last six months. It just proves what a man Neil is and what a strong relationship he has with Sharon. He would have had to ask permission off her to take the Rotherham job, so she deserves huge credit for giving him the green light. Shes obviously the boss!Everybody is different, but having a strong woman behind you has been vital in my career. There is so much insecurity with football management and you dont need that at home. Rotherham can win this one as Blackburn have gone off the boil.OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-0Blackpool v Wigan, League OneThis would be the perfect time for the Blackpool players to give the home fans a performance they can be proud of. Its time they stepped up. I dont believe theyre going to go down, so this will be a home win. I hope people can forgive me for not using logic for this one - this is my heart speaking. OLLIE PREDICTED: 1-0Birmingham v Middlesbrough, FridayIt was a bit of a slip-up for Middlesbrough against Ipswich, but they are a tough nut to crack. Having watched Birmingham a lot this season and the way theyre set up to hit on the break, this could be another banana skin for Aitor Karankas men. Hell be treating this as just another game, but it isnt - its a massive fixture, and emotions will be running high in that dressing room.Will they get the job done here? I think so, but only just. Theyve got such a strong bench - hes got a plethora of riches - and that might just be the difference in this game. A win would set us up for a blockbuster day on Monday, where Brighton and Burnley are both in action.OLLIE PREDICTED: 1-2 Also See: Championship table WATCH: Championship goals League One table Play Super 6 Flyers Jerseys For Sale .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Spiller left Week 3s 27-20 loss to the New York Jets with a thigh injury, but fully practiced with the team all week and expects to be ready to go on Sunday.With the brand new Premier League very nearly upon us, the oracle Wayne Mardle looks into his crystal ball and takes us through his predictions for the season. The superstars come out to play when the First Direct Arena in Leeds hosts the opening night of tungsten action this Thursday night, live on Sky Sports.Defending champion Gary Anderson, world No 1 Michael van Gerwen and six-time winner Phil Taylor head a star-studded 10-man field which heads to 16 venues with over 100,000 fans expected to turn out. Its the biggest tournament ever and the four-time World Championship semi-finalist and former Premier League star Mardle takes us through his overall predictions for the season.The dark horse Dave Chizzy Chisnall will not be far off from repeating his performance last season where he so nearly won the league. I think now hes got this game where he used to be so hit and miss. If he was slightly off he would lose. Hes not like that anymore because hes found this consistent way of playing - he doesnt snatch like he used to - he just seems in control of himself and his darts and I think he will be the outsider to make the play-offs again.When [Raymond] Van Barneveld won it in 2014, he made the semi-final by just scrapping in and he hadnt beaten Phil [Taylor] in 21 attempts on TV. He beat Phil and then he beat Michael [Van Gerwen] in the final so any outcome is possible of that there is no doubt. (Chisnall 9/4 to make the play-offs at Sky Bet)Early exits For me its going to be Robert Thornton and Michael Smith. They are the two favourites to be eliminated or not make the cut, relegated, whatever you want to call it.Thornton is not playing well - hes played pretty poorly and at the Worlds he didnt look great. Theres a lot of things that are happening when Robert plays.He was the highest seed that went out at the Worlds and was 8-0 up at the Masters before going on to lose against Dave Chisnall - these things do not happen when youre not playing well. He wont be high on confidence. As for Michael Smith, the Premier League is difficult - I know that and all the players that play in it will tell you about that.A good start for him is paramount. I think he has to win the first two games. You dont have to win every week, but I just think he has to win in one of the first two weeks otherwise he could be on a bit of a downer with confidence. He doesnt seem the type to pick himself up to me.Power cut I dont think Phil Taylor will dominate. Adidas Flyers Jerseys. If he wins it, I think it will be the hard way. Nothing comes easy to Phil at the moment. Even when hes making or what seems to be making light work of an opponent he will miss and give them an opportunity, which is something he never used to do.Its just the mindset because when youre used to beating someone [like Phil Taylor] and then it turns the other way, its difficult. The mind plays tricks on you and you think youre not going to win even though you think youve got that chance, that opportunity. (Taylor 5/4 not to reach the play-offs with Sky Bet)Top guns I think Michael Van Gerwen and Gary Anderson will end up first and second in the Premier League table and I think Michael will finish top. Hes won it the last three years so I cant see no reason why he wont win it again - he is the best player on the planet - and he proves that consistently, even when he loses. At the World Championship he averaged 105 - the mans an absolute machine at the moment.Hes got that Phil Taylor mindset where he wants to win, win, win. Michael has never actually said that he is looking for perfection. As long as hes happy with his performance, hes OK. Whereas Phils always been 118 average, I can do better. Michael is 118 average, that was brilliant - yeah, I want to do that again.And the winner is... No great shakes - Michael Van Gerwen. Like I said, come the play-off, any one of the four who are in it can most certainly win the trophy. Van Gerwen, Anderson and Taylor have won it before. Barney has won it before. I think whoever qualifies will fancy it, I really do.Michael Van Gerwen, from day-to-day, he is just becoming an absolute certainty. He is winning games - he gets in early and rips them to shreds and makes the players doubt themselves.When he is behind he can fight back and he gets away with it like Phil Taylor used to. People panic when they have a chance to beat him and I just think he will take all the stopping. He will win the league phase and I think he will win it overall.
