football Wednesday BERN's pick (selected);

HULL vs CHELSEA
Defender Andy Dawson’s chances of being fit are rated as 50/50 after he suffered a dead leg against West Brom. Should he miss out Sam Ricketts is expected to deputise after impressing against the Baggies.

Chelsea’s injury list continues but Luiz Felipe Scolari is hoping to have Joe Cole back to face the Tigers. Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Michael Essien are all still out.

A win for Hull would continue their incredible Premier League form, put them three points ahead of Chelsea and set them up nicely for their next fixture, a trip to face the champions at Old Trafford on Saturday. But after losing their proud unbeaten home record in the league, Chelsea are in determined mood when they arrive at the KC Stadium.

LS: DRAW


ASTON VILLA vs BLACKBURN ROVERS
Aston Villa's Gareth Barry will be fit to face Blackburn, despite limping out of Saturday's win away at Wigan.

Striker John Carew could return after he was fined by manager Martin O'Neill for being out in the early hours ahead of Villa's Uefa Cup clash with Ajax.

Blackburn central defender Chris Samba has recovered from an ankle injury and should be fit to play. and so for striker Benni McCarthy who has regained match fitness and in line for his first start of the season.

LS: H-H

MAN UNITED vs WEST HAM
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson may recall midfielder Michael Carrick for the visit of West Ham.

The England international has only played 70 minutes of football this season due to an ankle problem but he returned to training last week.

West Ham will be without the suspended Carlton Cole who was sent off against Arsenal on Sunday. Mark Noble (calf) is out.

LS: 2-0

.

CHELSEA vs LIVERPOOL BERN's preview.

i remember vividly Liverpool's opening game in season 2003-04 was at home to Chelsea. weeks before the opener, Chelsea welcome new owner Roman Abramovich. with his millions... he paid off the debt and secure several signings. Claudio Ranieri was then manager... present West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola had since left the club. signings then includes Adrian Mutu, Juan Veron, Claude Makelele, Damien Duff, Scott Parker, Hernan Crespo. Arjen Robben & Pete Cech came in just before Ranieri was booted out from the club.

the score at Anfield ended 2-1 in favour of Chelsea. of cos, it was a result that hard to stomach... notably because of Chelsea new found wealth, the way they purchase players resulted an inflation of player's value once Chelsea comes knocking. Liverpool then manager Gerard Houllier was into his last year reign as REDs boss... nothing comes quite sweet when he led Liverpool to victories over Chelsea and Man United that season, away.

Liverpool win at the Bridge comes courtesy of Bruno Cheyrou, and secured a 1-0 win in the end in Jan 2004. Arsenal became the last side to win a league game on the Blue turf... edging them 2-1.

it was not until 3 years later that Liverpool once again emerged winners in the Premier League. Dirk Kuyt and Jermaine Pennant scored in a exciting 1st-half to beat them 2-0. last season both games ended draws.. 1-1 at Anfield, 0-0 at the bridge. the game at Anfield was somewhat overshadowed by referee Rob Styles. gifting a dubious penalty to the Blues.

from what ive seen last weekend.. Chelsea although missing some players in the mould of skipper Terry, midfielder Deco. the Blues still edgin out 5-0 winners over Middlesbrough. in short, Chelsea have no shortage of players that could take the place of those first-teamers. Liverpool on the other hand must really tuned up for this game. Agger miscue the ball and gifted Wigan forward Zaki the easiest of chances to scored, painfully in front of the stunning KOP.

my fellow TGL contributor, Pete and Chelsea fan David quoted that Liverpool luck might run out though they admit they seen a certain sense of determination this season. in a team where no Torres again.. will the REDs rise to the occasion to finally end Chelsea proud unbeaten home record in the Premier League? or Chelsea 5-0 win at the Riverside was no fluke... i can't wait to see these 2 teams square-off in this wkend's top-of-table clash.

Torres and Gerrard was on the bench when Liverpool last played a BIG-4 team. winning 2-1 after going behind. frankly, ill be happy wif both sides played out a DRAW. my estimated percentage for Liverpool winning is somewhere 35-40%. wif a draw at 85%.

Chelsea with home advantage, is a clear favourites for this tie. but im sure Liverpool will come off with another positive result, provided they do not go behind again!...

.

36 Champions League goals!!

Wats the first thing when u open you eyes, checking the results in the morning?? See your tickets got tio anot right?? Hmmm, so glad tat there's a winning ticket amont the 4D n soccer betting slips.

Chelsea duo ruled out!

England made it three wins out of three in their World Cup qualifying campaign with a fine second-half display against Kazakhstan.

After a poor first half Rio Ferdinand, captain in the absence of the injured John Terry, nodded in a corner, before Alexandr Kuchma headed into his own net.

Zhambyl Kukeyev fired one back after an Ashley Cole mistake before Wayne Rooney headed in a Wes Brown cross and then tapped in after a David Beckham free-kick.

Jermain Defoe finished off the scoring with a late, low finish.

But it was not the comfortable evening for coach Fabio Capello the scoreline suggests, and it was even less so for Cole, who was mercilessly booed by the home fans after his error.


Bern's thoughts;

i can understand e frustration of those fans watching e game. its almost e same boo-hoo as scoring a own-goal. but mistakes do happens.. if e fans think even a amateur player would not hav did such a hoo-ah... then PLEASE PUT ON E SHIRT N PLAY LA!!!

nowadays football is not about whos stronger or favourites... take a look at Hull... got it??

England will be without John Terry and Ashley Cole for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Belarus.

The England captain has failed to recover from a back injury, while his Chelsea team-mate Cole has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

"It is disappointing to lose two very experienced players in John Terry and Ashley Cole for the game in Belarus," said England manager Fabio Capello.

Goalkeeper Robert Green is also out because of a knee injury.

BPL latest*, 8th Oct 2008.

Football Association chairman Lord Triesman believes the global credit crisis could pose a "terrible danger" to clubs dealing with spiralling debts.

Against the backdrop of such a volatile financial climate, Triesman estimates English clubs owe an estimated £3bn.

A worldwide banking crisis has led to a collapse in shares, fears of a recession and increasing costs for clubs having to repay or maintain huge debts - with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United believed to account for a third of that £3bn debt.

"The last figures I saw was that indebtedness in professional football in this country was running at about £2.5-£2.6bn, which is about where current annual revenues are in football. So our ratio is about 1:1.

"The FA themselves know about all these things because they are one of the most indebted organisations in the world. Their Wembley debt is about £350m and they have a turnover of about £300m.

"Our clubs are all heavily regulated but they've also got directors and owners who will assess the level of risk of their overall debt. This is at the top of clubs agendas and I think they are managing it responsibly.

Liverpool have been boosted by the news that defender Martin Skrtel does not need surgery on his knee injury and so could return to action by Christmas.

The 23-year-old defender needed oxygen as he left the field on a stretcher after falling awkwardly in the Reds' 3-2 win over Manchester City on Sunday.

It was feared he could face a lengthy spell out with posterior cruciate ligament damage to his right knee.

Skrtel, who was signed from Zenit St Petersburg in January, has forged a solid partnership with Jamie Carragher at the heart of Liverpool's defence.

The Slovakian has kept Daniel Agger out of the side but his injury may open the door for the Dane to return, with manager Rafael Benitez admitting: "Everyone can see that the understanding between Martin and Carra is becoming really good and to lose a player who is doing well is always a problem.


Striker Peter Crouch believes his return to the England squad has much to do with Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp's man-management skills.

Crouch was not named in the squad for England's opening two wins of the Group Six qualifying campaign, but two goals in two games has earned him a recall.

"I believe for the rest of the season he will get the best out of me and a lot in terms of my England recall is down to him."

In his final season at Liverpool, Crouch struggled to play regularly under Rafa Benitez but is confident his move to Portsmouth will help him cement his place in Fabio Capello's World Cup plans.

Hull City chairman Paul Duffen has backed boss Phil Brown to build on the Tigers' impressive start to the season.

Newly promoted City are third in the Premier League table after back-to-back wins at Arsenal and Tottenham.

Duffen, who took control of the Tigers in June 2007, feels Hull deserve more plaudits for their achievements, which included a win at Newcastle as well as at the Emirates and White Hart Lane.

Tottenham sporting director Damien Comolli says the club is united behind coach Juande Ramos, despite their worst start to a league season in 96 years.

Ramos's side lie bottom of the Premier League and pressure is mounting on the Spanish coach and Comolli.

Comolli has been criticised for Spurs' policy in the transfer market this summer, with boss Ramos admitting he is short of strikers after the departure of Robbie Keane to Liverpool and then Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United just minutes before the transfer window closed.
