QPR 4-0 Swansea
Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland
Wolves 1-2 Wigan
Fulham 1-3 West Ham (No Bet - Fulham at evs)
Two out of three on the afternoon and enough to turn a profit. Things started well as Fulham, who were selected as being too short at Evs, suffered a 3-1 home defeat to West Ham. The Cottagers went ahead early, but a battling West Ham came back to win with some comfort.
In the 1pm kick-off, QPR blitzed Swansea 4-0 to more than justify their selection at 6/5. Manchester United also covered their 1 goal handicap with a 2-0 win, but the scoreline perhaps flattered Sunderland, as United could easily have been 4-0 up within 20 minutes.
The clear failures of the day were Wolves, who slip to the bottom of the Premier League after a 2-1 defeat at home to Wigan. With Wigan sitting back on a 2-0 lead, Wolves dominated the second period, but lacked any real quality to take advantage of their possession. In fact, at times, Wolves' desperation caused elementary mistakes, and the boos from the home fans at full time were more than justified. Unless there is a dramatic improvement, Wolves will do well to finish 19th in the table, let alone survive for another campaign in the top flight.
Overall, 5/6 on the blog this week (83%) with the Green Bay Packers still to play this evening. A full weekly rundown will be available on Tuesday.
