This week on Treble Radio, our predictions from last week are put to the test. We start with the Manchester Derby. Who could have (should have) scored the winning goal? Why was it such a snooze fest? What is going on with Wayne Rooney? Is he ever going to play like a king or is he going to spend time on the bench with a hoodie on?
West Ham crushed a Chelsea team in chaos. Is Jose Mourinho trying to get sacked? Everyone at Chelsea seems to have lost their mind, but we may have as well.
Arsenal beat Everton in the rain and Ozil was so on point that it can’t even be described.
A player who’s on point and can be described is DeAndre Yedlin. When Yedlin starts, Sunderland seem to play better. His Sunderland side put in one of their best performances of the season in the derby on Sunday against Newcastle, but they’re still in the bottom three.
We set a high bar for our predictions next weekend. We look to Chelsea v Liverpool, United v Palace, Tottenham v Aston Villa (because no Sherwood!), and finally, how many goals will Leicester score against West Brom?

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Laura was trained from birth to be a Nebraska Cornhusker Football fan. Unlike most Huskers, her dad played soccer and introduced her to that sport as well, which understandably stole her heart. Laura’s love for the Spice Girls and Harry Potter carried her love for soccer across the Atlantic to a team not unlike her Huskers, Manchester United. They were once great and believe they can be again, but it hasn’t really happened yet. Laura is also a fan of the MLS team Sporting Kansas City.
Eric Walcott is a Legislative Assistant in the Michigan House of Representatives by day, and a soccer fan 24/7. He’s played soccer his whole life and now covers MLS, Portland Timbers, and Arsenal for LWOS. Eric helped start the supporters group Sons of Ransom for NPSL club Lansing United because there’s nothing quite like standing in the crowd and supporting your local team every weekend. 4th place might not be a trophy, but THE FA CUP SURELY IS!
Treble Radio host, Arslan Siddiqui, is a Canadian who does not speak many languages, but he has definitely specialized in the language of the beautiful game. When his grasp of the language isn’t strong enough, he (tries) to substitute it with comedy. He is a Liverpool fan who started the ‘Anfield Alive’ column on Last Word On Sports, where he provides commentary and opinion on everything Liverpool and Premier League related. A university student and a young adult, he promises to provide entertainment and (a little bit of) knowledge!
