Weekend Preview

Sooo

This weekend promises to be as exciting as previous crucial weekends in the world of sport.

First up the six nations returns to our television screens and the small matter of england versus ireland. This weekend will prove to all whether england are a force to be reckoned with or not. But for me, this weekends fixture is a fight for second place. France look to be romping over every side so will this england side, who havent been playing that well, come up trumps against an irish side always capable of almost beating anyone. Just look at the Autumn internationals!!!

Football again conjures up a great round of fixtures. Chelsea face Man City, and although Chelsea will be favourites, you know with the likes of tevez, adebayor and gareth barry, this man city side wont just turn up and roll over. Anything less than three points and Man Utd and Arsenal will be sniffing an opportunity to snatch in ahead of them.

But whilst chelsea play in the prem, United play in the first domestic cup final of the season, but i don't think it will be as easy as some predict. Ok, vidic is back, but him paired with evans at the back, isn't the most reassuring. Especially on recent performances. Gabby will have a field day! 1-1 for me at 90 mins, then anything can happen afterwards!

The first one day international is also coming up. Selection policy has been another talking point but these players playing well at county level deserve their run in the side. But Alistair Cook as skipper. In my opinion, he is captain material, but i think it's a bit early for him in his career. Giving players that pressure only disrupts their performances. Just look at Pietersen, Flintoff, Collingwood.

Either way, it's another big weekend for english sport. How it will pan out, no one knows.

Let's just hope it works out well for me.
