I'm a bit worried about this one. I don't like putting up Sheff Utd games in these times of Donkey Robson as their manager, because I know that I'll have to predict poor results for them So to cheer myself up a bit, I'm including one from Sir Neil's new club into the list


Newcastle v Bolton
Watford v Charlton
QPR v Barnsley
Crystal Palace v Bristol City
Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United


All predictions to be in by lunchtime (that means well before Football Focus finishes) on Saturday, 19th January.

Newcastle 2-1 Bolton (Owen)
Watford 1-1 Charlton (Henderson)
QPR 2-0 Barnsley (Buzsaky)
Crystal Palace 1-0 Bristol City (Scannell)
Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Sheffield United (Wallwork)

Newcastle thrashed Bristol City 3-0 at home in kev’s debut at the helm first time around in 1992… too bad they’re not playing Bristol City now! well, wanderers are next best thing so I’ll change that… too bad for keegan it’s not 1992!

Watford 1 - 0 Charlton (Shittu)

well, i thought my wandering magpie 0-0 was sufficiently offbeat to be the only one of it's kind (after all if shearer says playing for keegan is a striker's dream it means there's gonna be tons of goals, right? ) so having GD and orcus share the FH glory takes half the fun out...

All the hype made it an odds on nil-nil in my cynical book

and being so wrong about my other 4 picks takes out the other half...

Well, that six point lead needed cutting down to size, I believe you are still in the lead
