My Premiership team is Leyton Orient - but not yet! I don't get overly excited by any of them although I have a soft spot for Chelski from my time there in Tommy Docherty's era.

I'm at a disadvantage here as we never get anything at Anfield, but I cannot pick boro to lose.
Man Utd could come unstuck at Pompey, they have a lot of injuries and they were dire yesterday.
West Brom... Everton is a bookies dream, could go anyway... I hope West Brom win as Tony Mowbray is a legend!

 Liverpool's Steven Gerrard drills home an injury time winner to sink capio's Middlesbrough 2-1. Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate: "That was hard to take. The players are heartbroken in the dressing room. We deserved more, we certainly deserved a point. Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez: "I was very pleased with the first 15 minutes, but after that we did not play well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some crazy results this Saturday. As for picking the results, we all scored a very poor 2 out of 7. Scores after first 17 games capio 9 Nick 7 Ribaric 7 upthevilla 6 |

I'd be 4 clear if it wasn't for Gerrard's 94th minute lucky goal, but I'm not bitter... the ****** he never scores for England!
