Arizona Cardinals
Grantland talks about 'revolving door' Cardinals have at QB
The Arizona Cardinals' quarterback issues have become a national punchline of sorts.
Bill Barnwell of Grantland.com, which is the somewhat comical side of ESPN run by Bill Simmons, wrote a story on Week 11 in the NFL, with the headline "Arizona's Revolving QB Door."
According to Barnwell, a 'point probability estimator' figured the Cardinals should have scored 24 against the Falcons, so the 19 they came up with was certainly a disappointment.
Especially, you know, when you factor in a good running game, solid special teams play and the six turnovers Arizona came up with.
Why were the Cardinals unable to produce on those drives? Well, you can probably start with the decision made by Ken Whisenhunt to bench starter John Skelton. Benching the inaccurate Skelton isn't unwise in a vacuum, but consider the circumstances surrounding the benching. Arizona was coming off their bye week, giving them a two-week stretch where they chose to do nothing about Skelton's middling play and continued to give the former Fordham quarterback the first-team reps in practice. Yet after a 2-for-7 start at the beginning of the game against Atlanta, Whisenhunt chose to bench Skelton � who had a 13-0 lead at the time � for rookie sixth-rounder Ryan Lindley, who proceeded to go for 9-for-20 for 64 yards while losing a fumble that was recovered for a (bizarre) touchdown.
Barnwell says Whisenhunt's move to bench Skelton was "short-sighted on both ends."
For one, benching Skelton after seven passes without an interception is absurd. If Whisenhunt is going to cycle through his quarterbacks on whims that quickly, he's going to end up with three quarterbacks who have absolutely no confidence, something that has happened to him and his team in virtually every season that didn't involve Kurt Warner holding the job all year. And if Skelton's leash was really only seven bad passes long, Whisenhunt should have realized that before the bye and made the move to Lindley in advance, giving the rookie a week of practice (and two weeks of mental preparation) before unleashing him into a key game on the road against a playoff team.
Those are all fair points, as the move to Lindley backfired and one could believe sticking with Skelton would have resulted in a win Sunday.
As the article notes, the cumulative stats of quarterbacks picked in the sixth or seventh rounds when playing as rookies are bad (434-for-819, 4,082 yards, 21 touchdowns, 40 interceptions), so it's not as if it would have been fair to expect Lindley to perform at a high level. Add in the fact that he probably didn't receive the starter's share of reps in practice last week, and you have a recipe for anything but success.
Ultimately the decision contributed to a loss, which was the Cardinals sixth in a row. The team's record has plummeted from 4-0 to 4-6, and there is little hope on the horizon, even if Kevin Kolb returns to the lineup soon.
Their hot streak roughly coincided with the time Kevin Kolb spent in the lineup before getting injured, but don't get correlation and causation confused. Had Kolb stayed healthy, Whisenhunt would probably have found a reason to bench him, too. If this once-promising Arizona season continues to fall apart � la last year's Buccaneers or Bills and Whisenhunt ends up paying for it with his job, his inability to handle the quarterback position will have been his downfall.
Could be.

Great as always. From out of town and gluten free seemed to be a well trained subject.
10009 Coors Blvd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114
It's pretty good the staff has always been very nice and took care of me right away
408 Bellevue Square, Bellevue, WA 98004
They have GF buns!!! And all fries are GF as well!
401 E. Dimond Blvd., Anchorage, AK 99515
I was very skeptical going into this restaurant but they had a great allergen menu, which was only available online. I had a burger with a GF bun. Very tasty. Still wish hey had GF fries or onion rings, but I'll take what I can get. I will definitely come here again.
301 South Hills Village, Bethel Park, PA 15241
Delicious gluten free Red Robin cheeseburger on a g free bun, careful kitchen prep, and friendly service. I told the server I had an allergy to gluten not by choice but by requirement, and the server said they would take extra precautions to keep my food safe. When the manager brought my "gluten free burger" (words upon delivery of food) I knew they had. After our meal we chatted with the friendly server who said a family who has a child who is allergic to multiple ingredients can only eat out at this restaurant due to the extra care they take in the kitchen. They cook his burger on a piece of foil on the grill. This location really cares about food safety, and my burger and extra fries were delicious.
6255 Mills Civic Pkwy., West Des Moines, IA 50266
Wonderful! Dedicated frier for fries!
45305 Abell House Lane, California, MD 20619
My usual standby for a restaurant. The gluten free bun was chewy and tough. The burger tasted like it came out of the freezer. Frys were just so so. I was disappointed, my first bad experience at a Red Robin. However, not bad Glutenwise, but food sucked.
8720 IH40 West Frontage Road, Amarillo, TX 79124
I have been glutened once here and believe it was cross contamination, the bun was gluten free. I've eaten here several times with no problems. The more my waiter knows about gluten the better my experience is!
360 Buckland Hills Drive, Manchester, CT 06040
This place is mostly great, but one time I got sick because the manager did not know anything about gluten, and I got sick. I think they hired a new one, and that is the only time I got sick there! Great restaurant
1000 Greengate Centre Blvd., Greensburg, PA 15601
Expensive but worth it because my food was good and i had no gluten contaminations
2450 E 17th Street, Idaho Falls, ID 83404
I am super sensitive Celiac and I reacted to something, or I'd give 5. It wasn't a big reaction, but still enough I was in pain and dealing with the repercussions. They have an iPad you can ask for, put all your allegories into, and it will tell you what on the menu you can have. They also have gluten free buns. I would recommend to those not as sensitive as I am, and will try again in a few months.
295 Parkway Drive, Lincolnshire, IL 60069
Lots of options. Thought it was a little weird that I had to use my phone to see GF menu versus iPads I've seen at other locations.
8640 Snowden River Pkwy, Columbia, MD 21045
Great experience. A casual place for a burger and fries. I think the prices are a bit high if you don't take advantage of the "bottomless" fries and drinks, but nice to have a place that is familiar with gluten/celiac.
4241 Washington Road, Evans, GA 30809
Gluten free options including bun. I do not recommend for Celiacs as there is a risk(which I personally experienced) of cross contamination.
2671 Fairfield Commons, Beavercreek, OH 45431
It was wonderful to have options and a gluten-free bun but the GF menu is only on-line and it was time consuming looking up every item individually on different links. I missed a lot of conversation while researching my meal options. I would have preferred to be handed a menu that lists the burgers, cheese, sauces etc. in one place rather than fiddling with my phone. You also have to be careful because while 'cheeseburger' was on the GF list, the waitress, knowing I was Celiac, offered me choices of cheese including blue cheese. I then asked her to wait while I found the 'cheese' section of the website (which was a separate link than the cheeseburgers) only to find that blue cheese is not gluten free. I would recommend careful pre-planning before you go, but I do appreciate that I can have a cheeseburger & fries like a normal person here. They are making a great effort, but I'd really like the convenience of having a menu like everyone else.

I told the waitress I am allergic to wheat and I have celiac disease. I ordered a gf burger and I was served wheat, I had an asthma attack driving home and spent a week in bed sick.
365 South Perry Road, Plainfield, IN 46168
Diners beware! The last 2 visits at this Red Robin have been riddled with issues. The first visit I explained to the sever that I am allergic to wheat (anaphalatic), placed my order for gluten free bun and gluten free sweet potato fries. Took one bite and knew I was going to be In trouble. The fries were placed in the same frier as onion rings. The manager tried to assure me that would never happen. I had her smell the fries...she believed me then. We decided to try the restaurant one more visit. This time the the kitchen manager and manager couldn't decide if the fries were wheat free or gluten free based on the corporate website. I opted to skip the fries all together and just eat the burger. My husband ordered regular fries and they reeked of fried onion rings! He has no allergies, so not a big deal for him other than the fries tasted horrible. But placing fries in onion ring fry vats is a normal practice for this location. In my opinion, the staff both kitchen and wait need to be better educated on how important it is to serve gluten free food. If that can't be done just don't claim to do so...it's ok. Much better than making a customer extremely ill.
4900 Sergeant Road, Sioux City, IA 51106
Another great option for dining out. My wife is the celiac, and appreciates the GF bun that's edible (pretty good, by her report) and GF fries.
12007 Harbor Blvd., Garden Grove, CA 92840
Celiac friendly, with a clear understanding of cross-contamination. They obviously do training, as even the hostess fully answered my questions when I called before visiting. I selected my meal from an up-to-date selection on a tablet brought by the server.
15780 Hall Rd., Clinton Township, MI 48038
Great options for GF including really good GF buns. Staff is very knowledgeable on allergies and take great care of you!
101 W Main St, Newark, DE 19702
We've been here many times and have never had an issue with the unseasoned fries or the GF buns. The food is great and the service is awesome at this Red Robin. I've been to many in the chain without issue and I have an extreme sensitivity so this is important to me. This has to be my favorite location though.
2530 Rimrock Avenue, Grand Junction, CO 81505
Lots of gluten free choices and they state they changed gloves and prepare in a safe place. We've gone here a few times. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not just depends on the staff you get.
8311 NE Vancouver Mall Rd., Vancouver, WA 98662
It used to be great but I started getting gluten versions at the East Vancouver and talked to a manager about it. He said there is no training or precautions and the cooks don't know how to make gluten free versions, they just go by leaving off things at the customers request. They are prepared with gluten foods
640 W Telegraph St, Washington, UT 84780
Very impressed! Our waitress, was knowledgeable about the Gluten Free menu, & made good suggestions. She even made me some gluten free fry sauce for my fries. We will be back when we are in Southern Utah again!
6255 Mills Civic Pkwy., West Des Moines, IA 50266
Ordered the Ghost Burger for my Celiac husband. It came on the gf bun, but the jalepeños were breaded. The waiter was super apologetic when we pointed it out and went to get a new burger. Later the manager came out to apologize. Only problem we've ever had, though. Love the gf buns. Service here is fantastic.
360 Los Cerritos, Los Cerritos, CA 90701
They have gluten free buns if you'd like to order a burger or sandwich. Beware that the menu might not specify what may have gluten free ingredients. I was happy that our server was aware of gluten and confirmed whether or not I had an allergy during our order. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and a gluten free beer (Angry Orchard). I had no issues afterward, and the food was good.
6795 S Cornerstar Way, Aurora, CO 80116
Red Robin has an awful interactive gluten free menu that requires a minimum of 10 taps just to get to food. Then one has to switch back and forth between categories rather than being able to scroll through all the available food choices. It isn't user friendly and Red Robin corporate doesn't care. When I've reported how inconvenient their allergy menu is to them they've responded with a canned answer and basically told me I'm an idiot. Today I went through all the trouble of navigating their interactive menu only to find that fries are no longer on the gf menu. Fries have been on the gf menu for 10 years - one only had to confirm the store had a dedicated fryer. I asked the wait staff to check with the kitchen and was told legally they couldn't do that. I have serious concerns about a restaurant whose kitchen cannot tell me whether the food they are preparing is gf or not. We left without dining and won't be back to this location. I've found other locations to be more accommodating.
1562 N. Woodland Park Dr., Layton, UT 84041
RR recently started making their own GF bun, and it is much better than the Udi's brand they used to use. They also make their fries in a separate fryer and offer no seasoning salt.
5710 South Westnedge Rd., Portage, MI 49002
Gluten free fries taste more like potatoes offer GF buns as well I have never had an issue after eating here
15560 Cedar Ave., Apple Valley, MN 55124
3 strikes yer out!!!!!! Well, the service seems great- until you realize they arent listening to you at all. 3 times I've ordered food for pick up, as I live super close, and 3 times it was blatantly glutened after a lengthy conversation about how to make it gluten free! Once I had to go back because it was completely a gluten meal bum and all, another time they got the gluten free bun right but the french onion soup was made with the slice of bread instead of without, gluten free bun with the omitted onion rings-WITH ONION RINGS-- GRRRR!!!! It's at the point where I gotta think its in purpose.
19433 Interstate 45 South, Shenandoah, TX 77385
I eat here alot without any problems! They have an online menu where you can plug in all your allergens and it will tell you what all you can eat! There are many options for celiac people! I get the keep it simple burger with gluten free bread which is also dairy and soy free! The fries are gluten free but not soy free so I get the fruit salad!
267 N. Milwaukee, Boise, ID 83704
I've eaten here several times and haven't had any reaction yet! The staff is always helpful, if they're not sure they'll ask and not just tell you a line of BS.
3903 East 53rd Street, Davenport, IA 52807
Loved our service. We walked out of Biaggi's accross the street since manager admitted NOT SAFE for celiacs. Here complete opposite. Both waitress and manager(Vanessa and Tiffany) went out of their way to make sure all safe for our celiac son. He walked out of Biaggis with tears, super smile over here. We tested fries, burger and gluten-free bun with Elisa gluten test kit--All test negative for gluten.
Providence Town Center, 140 Market St, Collegeville, PA 19426
Decent GF burger selection, Udi's buns and dedicated fryers for regular and sweet potato fries (minus their usual seasoning).
3770 Bloomington Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80922
I ate at this location a couple of weeks ago. They have a dedicated fryer and were very careful not to mix my fries up with the rest of my party. Their allergen menus are available online, are interactive, and suggest alternative selections for gluten free. They assured me that I wouldn't have to worry about cross contamination on the grill either. The gluten free bun, however, was very dry and I took it off my burger. I was very impressed with how well they took care of me.
4300 Walnut Street, Rogers, AR 72756
I was given an iPad to search for GF options. Not many listed. I ordered the one entree then the waitress asked if I wanted fries. I told her the fries weren't on the list. But she assured me the fryers were dedicated. But my stomach has been hurting all afternoon and the fatigue has set in. So something was contaminated. And the ordering process was frustrating.
5537 S. Williamson Blvd., Port Orange, FL 32128
They have a decent size menu for gluten free individuals. My son loves the buns! It's refreshing to be able to go out and get burgers for the family without having to worry. The cook staff is very well trained on how to handle for celiac individuals and is very accommodating. My son also loves the fries!!!!
740 Jefferson Rd., Rochester, NY 14623
Great service, Great GF buns, Awesome tasting burgers!!
6141 200 St, Langley, BC V2Y 1K9
Had a chicken burger and yam fries. The bun was crumbly and fell apart but it was really good and the yam fries were a nice treat. Waitress was very friendly and made an effort to make sure it was gluten free.
4802 Valley View Blvd. NW, Roanoke, VA 24012
My wife and I went there last night for the gluten free offerings. (We sensed we were in trouble when our feet were sticking to the floor in the lobby). Yes, they have gluten free buns but the hamburger really had no flavor. My bottomless GF Sweet Potatoes fries were a joke. When our food was served I asked for more SP Fries. It came out 15 minutes later after I had finished my meal. Our server even noticed they were seasoned meaning they were cooked in the same fryer as non-GF so she wouldn't let me have them. This in addition to dirty floors, food stuck to the sides of the tables and dusty furnishings will keep us from returning. The funny part was when we voiced our disproval with the mgr, she gave us a $30 gift certificate to get us to return. Will probably give it to one of the children.... They may be Celiac friendly but the kitchen needs to pay attention!!!
27001 US Highway 19 North, Unit 1130, Clearwater, FL 33761
Wonderful experience dining Gluten Free today. My first Prime Rib Dip in years and it was amazing....on a great gluten free bun with fries in a dedicated fryer and very good coleslaw! Served with a purple stick to signify it was an allergen meal. Check out the amazing interactive customizer that lets you put in all your allergens and then it shows what your options are for replacing the allergen you must avoid....for instance, today it showed I could have gluten free bun or lettuce wrap....everything else remained the same. Here's the link: http://www.redrobin.com/customizer_hub. Will definitely go back....they are allergen aware and food is great....so is service....Mathew, our server, was great!
7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810
Burger was delicious. Best gluten free bun I've ever had. Our server was great about letting me know what I could/couldn't have. Will def. be back.
1875 Airport Road, Allentown, PA 18109
excellent service. gf menu and buns, seperate friers for the fries! a delicious gluten free dream come true.
799 W 146th Avenue, Westminster, CO 80020
Want a gf burger and sweet potato fries? This is your place! Ask for the GF menu, sit back and enjoy.
23318 Mercantile Pkwy, Katy, TX 77449
This is a very well deserved 5 Star review... I don't give that out lightly. Especially since my daughter was diagnosed with CELIAC DISEASE. This goes out to the RR manager, Terri, and our server, Daniel, on Saturday night 3/21/15. Of course, this is a chain burger place, not a Michelin star rated establishment! But I believe the rating should reflect the experience relative to the type of restaurant that it is. And for a "burgers & more" type of place, this one is by far one of the best!! First of all, the service was BEYOND attentive and friendly. I always ask to speak with a manager and our server right away because of my daughter's Celiac... So we met Terri before we were seated. She readily went over RR's allergen program, precautions taken in the kitchen (separate prep materials, cutting board, utensils, GF buns kept and prepared separately, dedicated fryers for both fries, separate grill area to cook on, etc), and offered an iPad for us to look over all the Gluten Free menu options on their website. There were apps, salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrees, sides, and shakes! When we met our server, Daniel, he had already been filled in (by Terri) on our special needs, and he was also extremely helpful and anything he didn't know, he went and found out! Very prompt, attentive, helpful with menu suggestions, etc. He then told us that Terri went in the kitchen to oversee preparation of my daughter's Gluten Free meal herself! The menu... We were shocked how much their menu options have evolved! There were some really "gourmet" type options on there, as well as the classic burger and fries... And lots of GF options of all kinds. Just tell your server! I got the Angus burger w/ roasted tomatoes, garlic aioli, arugula, and provolone, on ciabatta type bun with sweet potato fries... it was awesome! My husband got the Fish Sandwich and fries (said it was delicious), my son got the bacon cheeseburger and devoured it all, my non Celiac daughter got the kids chicken sandwich w provolone with fries and loved it. My Celiac daughter also got the chicken sandwich w provolone on the GF bun and fries... She said it was the best bun she's had (she ate it all) and even though she's "not too big on fries", those were the best she's had and her new favorite! I took a bite of her sandwich, and I loved the bun too! Found out it was Udi's, which explained it... Awesome! Overall, it was a home run... And a stress free, delicious dining experience for our family. Not only was my celiac daughter extremely happy, but the rest of got to enjoy exactly what we wanted too! Not so easy to find these days. We are excited to go back regularly, as there are so many different options for us (and my daughter!) to still try... Not just burgers, but sandwiches, entrees, pasta, salads, appetizers, and of course many other burgers! Thank you Terri and thank you Red Robin! Your efforts are very much appreciated!
10009 Coors Blvd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114
This location uses exceptionally good GF hamburger buns. The burgers are good and we all appreciate the fact that those yummy steak fries are GF, as well. We had a good lunch here, with no contamination reactions.

Pastor's Column: The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat
If you have been watching the Olympic Games you may have noticed, as I have, that a big part of the assent to the gold medal is the agony of falling or having a bad run. With the ski runs slippery from ice forming atop the snow, there were some pretty tough crashes. Yet there is a lesson here which has its root in Biblical principle. Victory often comes only after defeat.I recall the Olympic Games of 1980 in Lake Placid, N.Y. It had been a tough year for America. Fifty two Americans had been held hostage in Iran – an event that would last 444 days. Interest rates had skyrocketed to around 15 percent, contributing to a crisis in Savings and Loans, and inflation reached a high of 13.5 percent. We were in a cold war with the Communists, with both America and Russia stockpiling nuclear weapons at increasing rates. It was a time filled with fear and concern for the future.Americans were optimistic going into those games, except in one sport – hockey. The Russians owned that sport. They had shown themselves to be the best for more than 20 years. Their team was more experienced than team U.S.A. In the exhibition game, played just 13 days before the Olympics, the Soviets stomped the U.S. team 10-3. So no one was surprised when near the end of the first period of play the Soviets were ahead 2 to 1. Nor were they surprised at the end of the second period when they were up 3 to 2. But in the third period the Russian team couldn't get a score. Mark Johnson shot at the goal and tied the score 3 to 3. Seconds later Mike Eruzione sent the puck into the net, bringing the U.S. team into the lead for the first time, 4 to 3. With 10 minutes left to play, the U.S. team blocked the shots of the Russians right up to the famous countdown words from the announcer, "Eleven. Ten seconds. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"It would be known as the Miracle on Ice. That win propelled the U.S. team to beat Finland 4 to 2 for the gold. The thrill of victory was heard across the country. After almost two decades of defeat, U.S. Hockey had won the gold. For almost two decades the U.S. team had trained and gone to the Olympic Games for nothing. The team could have given up. How easy it would have been to quit training and just stop coming to the games in hockey. But the thrill of victory was born out of the agony of defeat.The US Hockey team taught us a great lesson that day. Victory often comes only after defeat. In the face of disheartening circumstances in our lives we can come through to a victorious ending if we persevere and don't give up. There may be the agony that comes with defeat, but our defeats don't have to be the final word.Are there places in your life that you would like to see victory? Have you wondered if there is any hope? Have you almost given up? Have you decided there is simply no point in trying? Are there places where you have invested years of blood, sweat and tears, only to seemingly see it all come to nothing? What are your agonies of defeat? We all have them. Whatever threatens to defeat you, know this: Perseverance is the only path that turns defeat into victory. Jesus gave us an example of this. He was acquainted with the agony of defeat. Isaiah 53:3-4 (NRSV) tells us, "He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted." Jesus knew rejection. John says, (John 1:10-11 NRSV), "He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him." He started his ministry by going to his own synagogue in Nazareth where he grew up and the people wanted to stone him after his first sermon. He told his followers that he would go to a cross, be broken like bread, and people started to leave him in droves. His selfless love led him to a lot of pain and suffering.Perseverance for Jesus meant going through the ridicule, the rejection, the beatings and the cross. It meant dying. But was this seeming failure the last word? No indeed. It meant going through the agony of defeat in order to get to the victory. That's the message of the gospel. (I Corinthians 15:54b-58 NRSV) "Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?". . . But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."Where is your agony of defeat? Move in God's grace to the thrill of victory! There is nothing that you are going through that is beyond victory in Jesus Christ if you persevere. May you find the grace to press on to the thrill of victory from the agony of defeat.

Volkl's new Power Bridge feature is designed to enhance the power of the racquet through its more stable DNX construction.
Our testers hit the courts for a month-long playtest with the new Power Bridge 10. Read on to see how this latest Volkl player's racquet measured up.
Our team all agreed that the Power Bridge 10 was very solid from the baseline. Chris liked the maneuverability and spin he got from the Power Bridge 10. "I found this to be a maneuverable and soft feeling racquet off the ground. While not as solid feeling as the Becker 11, the Power Bridge 10 was much easier to get around. I was able to whip this racquet around so quickly it almost felt like I was playing with a 26-inch long junior racquet. With all the racquet head speed I was getting, I was able to hit with a lot of spin. I was also getting decent pace, but I didn't feel like I could hit through the ball as easily as I could with the Becker 11. During the test, I tried the Power Bridge 10 with both Klip Optic Nerve poly and our regular multifilament test string. I preferred the poly because I had more control, more bite and more spin."
Enjoying the player's racquet feel in the weight and balance of the racquet was Granville. "From the first hit of the ball I knew this racquet was top notch and 'scalpel like'. I played with two racquets; one strung with Poly and the other with a soft multifilament. The differences were significant, though both were equally attractive for their own reasons. This racquet plays very much like my Wilson K Six-One, with similar weight and balance. I was able to take full swings, allowing me to get good depth on the ball with regularity and ease. To be honest, I usually prefer a multi to a poly, but in this racquet I enjoyed the muted, yet lively, response on groundies that I got from the poly, as compared to the multi."
Danny found this stick to be solid and stable on groundstrokes. "Testing out this racquet brought back memories. I've played with many versions of this racquet, including the Tour 10, Tour 10 V-Engine and Tour 10 Generation II. This racquet was solid and stable from the baseline. I thought this racquet was easy to swing despite its heavy weight. I had great consistency and natural topspin. For me, the only thing I worried about was the hefty weight and how long I could last with a stick like this."
Excited with the racquet's control and heft was Spencer. "The Power Bridge 10 was a joy to hit with from the baseline. It offered a good solid feel with great control off both wings. I hit with both multifilament and a poly, and I had more success with the poly in terms of control and spin. I was particularly impressed with the spin produced on the backhand slice. Being a player's stick, the 'plow-through' was prevalent, helping me achieve good depth. The racquet controlled the ball, not the other way around. Good stability and the ability to hit through the ball were standout points for me."
The Power Bridge 10 impressed our testers with good feel and placement at net. Granville felt a renewed confidence when at net. "Head-light with a solid response, the Power Bridge 10 is a natural at the net for me. I was hitting crisp, solid volleys and serving-and-volleying with renewed confidence. I am actually contemplating switching to this racquet. I feel this racquet makes a great 'platform' for modification (string type, tension, balance)." Experiencing great feel when volleying was Spencer. "This racquet made for great feedback and feel when at net. It had good control and decent punch for put-a-ways, but it was the touch/feel volleys where this racquet really impressed."
Danny liked the depth of his volleys when attacking the net with the Power Bridge 10. "This is a great stick for someone that likes to come to net. My volleys had a consistent natural depth to them when I was just trying to stick my volleys rather than cutting them. This stick had great feel and my touch was good. Going to the net isn't my preference, but I will do it when opportunities present themselves, and I did it with confidence with this stick." Getting excellent control was Chris. "I enjoyed volleying with this stick. I found a ton of control and feel at net. I really felt I could place my volleys to a very defined target both when punching volleys deep and when looking to find a short angle. The racquet felt very comfortable and I found a soft and plush feel accompanied most volleys."
Though not everyone could get the most power when serving, all agreed that placement and spin were effective and easy to manage with the Power Bridge 10. Having success when using kick and spin when serving was Danny. "The heavy weight was most noticeable for me when serving with this racquet. As a 6.0 player, I'm not weak by any means, but I was surprised how heavy the racquet felt when I was serving. My serve was more consistent and effective when I was spinning the ball in. I was obtaining more kick with this stick than others that I have tested." Spencer's sentiments were similar. "As I am not the biggest hitting server, I had the most success when hitting kick serves. The Power Bridge 10 enabled me to put a lot of action on the ball, creating some unsuccessful returns. Placement and spin worked well for me when serving."
Achieving good pace and spin was Chris. "My serves had good pace with this stick. I was able to generate plenty of racquet head speed for both pace and spin. I tend to hit a bit of spin on first serves and was able to find the necessary bite to kick serves wide or get them to drop in when going down the 'T'." Granville liked this one from the get-go when serving. "I was comfortable with the Power Bridge 10 from the first serve. I was able to hit flat serves down the middle with comfort and ease. My slice and kickers were penetrating, and my targeting was spot on as well. I do not see any additional power being offered here -- no doubt due the flex rating (64), but again - the poly seemed to add some punch that the multi did not."
A versatile stick when returning, our testers found several types of returns to be effective with the Power Bridge 10. Chris was confident hitting a variety of returns. "I simply loved the control and feel of this racquet on returns. My slice shots were not as heavy as with the Becker 11, but apart from that the racquet felt flawless. I felt confident taking a good cut at the ball as well as chipping or blocking returns deep to the corners." Also liking the range of effective returns was Granville. "This racquet had the mass and balance to respond to just about any serve with positive results. When on the defensive, the racquet is massive enough to get the ball over the net with some precision. When on the offensive, and out in front on either side, this racquet can smack the ball with the best of them. Good pocketing and targeting are often the result when taking the ball early on the return."
Danny had oodles of confidence with this stick when returning. "My serve returns with this stick were heavy. For some reason, my service returns on my forehand were really big with this stick; more on the deuce side rather than the ad side. My confidence on the second serve return was higher than ever." Happy with his defensive returns was Spencer. "The weight of the racquet helped keep it stable when returning against a big or heavy server. I found chipping back serves worked well, also. The backspin I was creating was very effective."
The Power Bridge 10 was a hit with our team. It is a player's racquet with a controlled response that gave our crew a chance to really swing with confidence from the baseline. The ability to put a full swing on the ball gave our testers excellent access to spin. Fantastic stability allowed our playtesters to hit through the ball, keeping shots on target and providing a very comfortable feel. At net, our testers were able to confidently hit touch and placement volleys, as well as punch volleys deep, thanks to good heft and a head light balance. With the Power Bridge 10, Volkl's reputation as a maker of quality player's racquets lives on.
Granville "Weight, balance, control, low power/high precision"
Danny "I love this stick from the baseline. I am a baseline player, like most every other player these days, and this worked great for me. The Power Bridge 10 had a soft feel, and I think I could spend most of my time at the baseline with this stick without getting tired. I liked the natural heavy topspin I achieved from the baseline."
Spencer "The feel, control and spin."
Chris "Didn't have the solid feel of the Becker 11. I like both, but would pick the Becker 11 over this one."
Granville "Another yellow Volkl racquet"
Danny "I wasn't big on serving with this racquet. I don't like serving in general, but I had a hard time generating a fast swing speed when serving. It might be time for me to hit the weight room."
Spencer "Handle shape. Too rectangular for my taste."

29.09.2013 /
Italian rider Enea Bastianini had his well-deserved moment of glory in the final race of the 2013 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup season taking the win from Stefano Manzi and Marcos Ramirez on the Aragon Racing circuit in Spain.
Cup champion Karel Hanika of the Czech Republic who won the first race of the weekend on Saturday in Spain had his chances of a double victory spoiled when he exited with a technical fault in Lap 12 of the 15-lap race.
But while the trophies went to Enea Bastianini, Stefano Manzi and Marcos Ramirez, the first two from Italy and the latter form Spain, it was 16-year-old Turkish racer Toprak Razgatlıoğlu that was particularly impressive going into the final lap. He was half a second behind the front three but caught and passed them in an impressive display of riding. His chances of a podium were spoilt when the smaller built trio were able to tuck in behind him and make use of the slipstream advantage to get past. He finished in fourth place ahead of Diego Perez, Joan Mir and Jorge Martín.
Bastianini was impressive, fighting his way into the lead group from a 12th spot on the grid. He also showed smart tactics, making his bid for the win in the final stages. "It was hard work coming from the fourth row. I just pushed and pushed. I just got the perfect slipstream going down the back straight and held on through that last left, nothing was going to stop me winning."
After Hanika went out, Dutch rider Scott Deroue was a definite candidate for a top spot but he slid off the track in the next lap. It was then down to a group of five riders and it was Manzi who led going into the final lap. He went on to pick up his fourth second place finish for the season. Ramirez also ended his season on a high note, taking his fifth third-place podium.
Hopefuls for next season's competition will attend a Selection Event for the 2014 Rookies Cup intake will be held at the Monteblanco circuit near Seville (October 16-18) when more than a hundred riders will try out for the coming season. The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup nurtures the next generation of top riders and they all compete on the single-cylinder, four-stroke Rookies Cup KTM RC250 RB machine.

Actually - the crumb should have scored 1 point - but I was generous as that's basically my fault for not fixing the fermentation issue.
Who is responsible for the dough? Formula, mixing, fermentation protocol, etc.
I am responsible for directing everything - but they carry out the execution.I'm English... what does rooked mean?
Does anybody disagree with the criteria?
Unless the person making the pie is also responsible for making the dough from start to finish and for the fire, I'm not sure it's fair to evaluate them on LEOPARDING, RISE, EXTERIOR, and CRUMB.
TIP SAG? not too much tip sag? Isn't this Neapolitan pizza? Unless you fold the slice, the tip and much of the pie should pretty much hang straight down.
Looking at other restaurants on the radar - I think Bianco's is a good example of what we would like to achieve

Tree Climbing Practice is a training method used to gain more skills with chakra control. This training involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb a tree without using one's hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the tree and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and the user will fall.
- According to Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Sunagakure has a similar training revolving around rock climbing.

I do enjoy the Splinter Cell Shading
This design looks perfect for glow-in-the-dark ink...
Cute concept, but the direction of the branch really throws me off! Damn YOU branch!!!
Wonderful choice of disguise...we all know it's a dog underneath that ghillie suit.
wolfandginger wrote:Wonderful choice of disguise...we all know it's a dog underneath that ghillie suit.
I find that frightening because that would mean that there's either a tiny, tiny dog in that suit, or else that's an enormous cat with a PSG-1.
Notice how this shirt is "not shiney" but still conveys a lit moonlight. nice job.
hey....HEY! Wait just a ding dong minute here! Why does a cat need night-vision goggles? I call shenanigans.
What if the cat isn't an assassin at all? Maybe it is just trying to hunt with its friend the owl.
satcomguy85 wrote:I guess the creator didn't realize that owls can't move their eyes around in their eye sockets.
At least the cat wearing night vision goggles with a sniper rifle is accurate.
Say Mr. Owl, how much time do you think it will take for this bullet to reach that Beagle's head?
Congrats CrescentDebris! It's an awesome tee!
...and that cats don't know how to sight-in a sniper rifle. At least mine doesn't, or I'd be dead.
happily retired wrote:Or how the branch is floating in the air since it not attached to a tree.
Well, technically, the branch would be on your trunk.
dcp73 wrote:...and that cats don't know how to sight-in a sniper rifle. At least mine doesn't, or I'd be dead.
Lol! Yeah - thank the stars pets don't have opposable thumbs. Looks like Splinter Cat is looking downward - must be checking on his back-up, who will no doubt neatly catch the owl after SC drops him.
Mr. Owl, how many shots does it take to get to the mousy center of a field mouse? *foop*
The cat should have just eaten the owl instead.
In for one.
what a clever shirt! i just hope my cat doesn't see it.
It looks like a tentative alliance to find the Boss Mouse.
I hate cats... Funny design though.
Whooooo's for Dinner would have been a better title for this.
Xihix wrote:It appears the kitten is spying on its prey, while the owl is startled. However, this cannot be confirmed. More at 10.
It has been confirmed that the kitten is waiting on the important and controversial rat diplomat, Splinter, to arrive at today's summit on the Feline/Rodent peace treaty that has been in the works since the last week's massacre at Cheese Plaza. While the kitten's motive is unclear, our sources say Splinter may never make it to the door.
Meanwhile, back at Sam Fisher's secluded ranch home in Montana... Fisher's cat, realizing his master may be gone for weeks at a time, learns to take matters into his own paws to find food. Grats again sir! While I said I wasn't getting one today, you should know I showed the shirt to a guy here at work and he wanted one since it looked like his cat. I guess he's trained his to use a rifle or something. This shirt totally fits your humor, to a tee. XD Glad to see it in first!
I can only afford one because my health-insurance premiums are going up. :-(

So that's what happened to Raiden....
suess2000 wrote:Awesome. It might be hard to shoot with night vision goggles on. If the night vision isn't mounted to the gun you're sort of guessing at where you're aiming the gun.
... He has the gun shouldered, obviously re-con-ning the scene. Once he finds a target he will then ditch the goggles and switch to the night-vision scope that is almost certainly mounted on the rifle. :P PS... It could be a diversionary tactic to make the owl THINK he is looking for mice on the ground. The owl is, after all, a bird. Cats EAT birds, and it doesn't take a crack shot to hit a bird that big from 2 feet away (once he swivels his head 270 degrees the other way)...
skatimmy737 wrote:Tom Clancy's new line of political thrillers: Splinter Puss!
HAHA awesome... if he used these characters, it could be a children's book! However, for some reason, I feel like some parents would be more apprehensive about the word "puss" in the title than they would be about a kitten using an assault rifle.... lol
Is there a way to send a woot shirt as a gift? Meaning no big fat receipt sitting on top/possibly including a little note? I don't seem to be able to find that option anywhere.
Actually, cats practically have night vision as it is. They can see quite well in areas with minimal light. Go get 'em, Puss!
You have to admit. This is epic. They'll make a video game off it, you'll see. Or at least a movie. I'm thinking George Clooney for the owl, Jim Carrey for the cat.
Be vewy, vewy qwiet. He's hunting wabbits.
Shouldn't the cat be on the other side of the branch from the owl? Also, why are the owl's pupils so small?
Jeeshman wrote:Be vewy, vewy qwiet. He's hunting wabbits.
more like meeces.
Doubt this will look good printed, the design is too small. Grats on 1st place though.
Sniper-Cat is just a little upset that the owl might be a 'witness'
I think that the image of the Cat would look more "right" if the barrel was pointing up in the opposite direction. Also, it seems to me that if the artist spent a little bit more time on rendering the Owl, the design would look much better overall.

Night MotoGP racing on the agenda
April 25, 2006 As television plays an ever greater role in the globalization and monetization of sport, sport is evolving. Once upon a time a time difference meant just delaying the telecast on the TV, but as the internet has hastened deadlines and live sport means "when it's actually" happening, time-shifting events is now being considered. One such innovation on the horizon is night racing, a regular and ever more frequent autoracing fixture in recent years but until now not tried in the pinnacle sports of either car or motorcycle racing. Earlier this month the three permanent riders on the MotoGP Security Commission (Valentino Rossi, Kenny Roberts Junior and Loris Capirossi) tried out the Losail circuit in Qatar during full darkness to evaluate the feasibility of holding races at night. MotoGP points leader tried the circuit on a Ducati 999R, the headlamps of which proved to be indispensable for those parts of the track without the benefit of artificial lighting. Similarly, Rossi rode a Yamaha sports bike and Roberts rode a Honda CBR1000RR sports bike in their respective determinations.

Der Spiegel Headquarters is a 50,000 square-meter project comprised of two buildings: one for Der Spiegel and another, the Ericus-building, for other offices. The new headquarters is located nearby the much-anticipated Elbphilharmonie designed by Herzog + de Mueron, which topped out over the summer. The two buildings are arranged to form a large u-shaped courtyard that opens up towards the water and slightly towards the south to collect the sun. Large plazas on either side of the building promote an active urban scene, provide more green space, and access to the waterfront promenade.
HafenCity has developed its own green building certification, which has tighter requirements than other certifications and is considered a forerunner of the requirements that will be incorporated into German building regulations in the years to come. "Hafencity Umweltzeichen" is a certification standard with five categories of sustainability in which specific objectives must be achieved in order to obtain silver or gold. To achieve overall gold for the project, a gold rating must be achieved for four out of the five categories.

The map of the whole HafenCity seems to be old. I can't see the new building of the HCU (HafenCity University, a university of built environment and metropolitan developement) and at the Magdeburg Hafen – and as far as I know, the architectural contest found a winner two or three years ago: http://www.hcu-hamburg.de/en/structure-and-current-information/neubau/bilder-des-neubaus/

Hope we see you at Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire today! It's noon – 6:00 pm at the Children's Museum on Pittsburgh's Northside. Weather looks great, the staff and volunteers are great and the makers and their work are definitely not to be missed.
On a practical note, we are located near Heinz Field, but the Steeler game is away today, so don't worry about traffic to the Northside. There are lots of parking options, some free, some not. Check the Parking tab for details and a map. Check the Attend tab or the Children's Museum website for directions.
See you there!

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — We learn so much in this life by dint of contrast. We appreciate warmth more for having suffered through the bitter cold. Likewise to fully embrace joy is even more exhilarating when we've had to reckon with sorrow. Sports create their own manifestation of life's law of opposites in the yin-yang experience of victory and defeat.
For teams like the Tri-Valley Lady Bears, who began their season with a pair of non-league wins over Class D Chapel Field and Class B Ellenville before letting a potential win slip away at Class B Burke, winning has been a matter of course. Over the past two years under Coach John Tenbus' care, the team sports a record of 36-4. But the Burke game, in which they led 28-17 at the half, went south to end up as a 56-42 defeat behind Burke's intensified defense and deft shooting. For some of the younger Lady Bears that was tough to take. But that loss paled by comparison with the depressing aftershock of a 61-56 Division V home overtime loss to Chester on December 14. The Lady Bears 2-2 (0-1 OCIAA), who are the three-time defending Division V champs and who have been to the Section 9 title game three years running having won the title in 2011, will travel to Fallsburg (5-1, 1-1 OCIAA) on December 20 for a crucial league clash attempting to re-ascend to their former prowess. For their part, the Fallsburg Lady Comets improved their standing with a 44-17 win over Eldred (1-2), followed by a 55-38 win over winless Liberty. With a league win over Seward and a league loss to Chester, the Lady Comets are looking to finally vanquish Tri-Valley, something they've yet to do. The Lady Bulldogs of Sullivan West (1-4) are looking for a way out of their doldrums after losing 54-18 to Tuxedo.
In boys action, Monticello hit a high note with a 49-42 win against Class AA Minisink Valley, the first Montie win over the Warriors in the past six years. But the roller coaster took a rapid downturn with a 54-34 home opening loss to Division III rival Cornwall. Monticello travels to Port Jervis before hosting Burke for two more division games this week. For the Monties, wins against Port Jervis and Goshen will be crucial if they are to make it back to sectionals this year based on their league record.
Liberty (1-4) continued its struggles with a 51-47 home opening loss to Chapel Field, followed by an 89-32 Division IV thrashing at the hands of James I. O'Neill. Sullivan West (2-0) hosts O'Neill on December 19 and then travels to Liberty on December 21 for its two first league games of the season. Meanwhile, the Tri-Valley boys downed Chester in a league clash, coming from behind in the fourth quarter to grab the reins for a 70-61 victory. With other wins against Walton, Chapel Field and now Livingston Manor, the Bears are 4-0. Tri-Valley defeated Manor (1-2) 67-46 on December 17. The Wildcats' sole win came versus Chapel Field, with losses to Sullivan West and T-V.
In the rigorous climb toward a successful season, each game represents only one step along the way; the route is rarely a level path. By season's end, nearly every team will have inhaled some of the airy ethers of victory as well as the noxious vapors of defeat with, hopefully, a much larger dose of the former rather than the latter.
In indoor track at the developmental meet at West Point on December 8, several local athletes showed their ascension with fine performances. They included first-place finishes in the shot put by Tri-Valley's Aric Boyes (45-11.5) and Mareena DiMilia (37-3), and a first-place finish in the high jump by Sullivan West's Mitch Paciga (6-1). Second-place finishes were registered in the boys 55H by Paciga (8.6) and DiMilia (8.9), the boys 800 relay by Monticello (1:41.4), in the 1500 racewalk by Tri-Valley's Mary Alongi (8:50.9) and in the weight throw by DiMilia (41-0.5).

Lily has been married more often than Henry VIII, and some of her husbands are dead, though none by decapitation. One, Bartholomew Bass, father of Chuck, was a billionaire who left her set for life, with no worries about bills from Tiffany's and Bergdorf's. Lily, a former ballerina, is very concerned with social status—the main reason she is at first reluctant to admit to having been a groupie when Rufus Humphrey was a rock star. They even had a secret love child. Lily's children, Serena and Eric, roll their eyes a lot. They find out about their mother's secret love child in Season 2, but heads will spin when they encounter him in the flesh in Season 3. Lily and Rufus get engaged at the end of Season 2.

As ever, you can follow all the Premier League action this weekend on Sky Sports.
We asked Soccer Saturday expert Paul Merson to look at the fixtures and give us his verdict on where the games will be won and lost.
Every week he'll be here on skysports.com to share his views on who he expects to be the winners and losers of the weekend.
So read on for his shouts and don't forget to let us know your views via the comments box...
Ford Football Special: QPR v Tottenham
12pm, Sat, Sky Sports 2 HD
QPR had a great result at Chelsea, but it's much easier to win games when you're not expecting anything. The real test comes at home to sides like Wigan, Reading and the other teams around them... those are the games you've got to win.
They'll half-fancy themselves to get something at home to Tottenham and they've got to do everything they can to get a point. People might say they need to win games in their situation, but if they nick points here and there they will mount up over the season.
The result against Chelsea has given them a chance of staying up. They're right back in the scrap and that win at Stamford Bridge will have knocked the stuffing out of the other teams down there.
Another advantage for them is that they kick off first on Saturday. If they can get a result it will put severe pressure on the other teams, especially Aston Villa and Southampton, who play each other.
Tottenham have been playing well, but Loftus Road is a tight pitch and I can't see Gareth Bale getting loads of room to run at players with pace - and that will help QPR. Plus there's no Emmanuel Adebayor, so Spurs can't get balls in the box to him from all angles.
Adebayor has hardly set the world alight this season, Jermain Defoe has been the main man up front, but they might have used him in this game.
You'd still make Tottenham favourites, but you never know with QPR. I think they will need to play extraordinarily well and get a bit of luck to win the game.
They can't be dominated for the first 30 minutes of the match, as they were against West Brom last week, but I reckon they can get a draw.
Ford Super Sunday: Man Utd v Liverpool
1pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD & Sky 3D
The difference between Manchester United and everybody else this season has been Robin van Persie.
For me, he's the best centre-forward in world football. I wouldn't class Lionel Messi as a centre-forward and Radamel Falcao couldn't lace his boots. He plays in a completely different league and I'd like to see him come to England and score 30 or 40 goals in a season.
Van Persie has been absolutely extraordinary. He scores goals out of nothing, he's a big-game player and since he's been fit in the last two years he has been head and shoulders above everybody.
Luis Suarez isn't far behind him though; he's also up there with the best of the best. He's another one of those you'd pay to watch all day long.
But they are different kinds of players. Suarez will go down the channels to get the ball and cut inside, which is something you don't see Van Persie do. He comes alive in the box and is much more lethal than Suarez.
I expect Suarez to play his natural game, despite his history with Man United, but he needs Steven Gerrard to play well behind him.
Liverpool have got to take the game to Manchester United. There are goals to be had because they're so open; the full-backs bomb on and leave two versus two at the back. That will work against the lesser teams, but if Liverpool can get lucky on Sunday you never know.
There's a big gap in league positions, but if both teams play well there's not a lot between them. However, I've got to go for Man United because they have a couple more match-winners in their team. Liverpool probably rely on Suarez a bit too much.
Ford Super Sunday: Arsenal v Man City
3.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD & Sky 3D
I don't see Man City winning this game at all. The worst way out for Arsenal is a draw in my opinion.
I say that because there's no Sergio Aguero and no Yaya Toure. Despite all the millions of pounds Man City have spent over the years and the squad they've got, those two players will be sorely, sorely missed.
I watched Aguero the other week against Stoke City, who have probably got the best defence in the league. Ryan Shawcross and Robert Huth are two of the best centre-halves around and I've never seen them get a complete and utter run-around like they did that day. I can't see Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko giving the Arsenal defenders a run-around like that.
And without Yaya Toure they won't have the strength in midfield and that means we could see a game of "passy passy" in that area - and there's nobody better at "passy passy" than Arsenal. Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are great at that.
Admittedly, Arsenal were shocking at Southampton. The manager got it all wrong with his substitutions taking off Lukas Podolski and Cazorla for Gervinho and Aaron Ramsey. Any other manager in world football would have got slaughtered for that; it was Bradford revisited.
Theo Walcott didn't really touch the ball in that game and the same could be said against Swansea in the FA Cup. It will be interesting to see how Arsene Wenger uses him against two top international defenders. It's alright playing down the middle against Reading or Newcastle (who were out on their feet), but it's a big test for him against Manchester City.
There will be goals though. Both have been as bad as each other at the back and I expect Arsenal to win because Aguero and Toure will be badly missed.
Aston Villa v Southampton
Villa stopped the rot at Swansea (but they should have been out of that game in the first 30 minutes) and they were absolutely atrocious at Bradford. They had enough chances to win the game (and I still fancy them to get through), but defensively they were as poor as I've seen. When they lost 3-0 to Wigan it flattered Wigan and Southampton will go there full of confidence. I watched them against Stoke and if they play that well I don't give Villa any chance - but I'm going to keep faith that my old team will get a draw.
Everton v Swansea
Swansea were very lucky to beat Chelsea - they got in their half twice and scored twice from two mistakes - and it was probably the worst Swansea have played for a long time; they didn't put four passes together all night, so it was strange they got such a good result. They've had a lot of hard games recently and have done great, but I think this is a game too far. I think Everton are a cert.
Fulham v Wigan
It's a good job Fulham eased the pressure with their result against West Brom or else this would have been a huge game for them. As long as they don't lose this I think they will be happy. Wigan are one of those teams who always seem to play well and don't get results and it's very rare they have a nightmare. You can ignore the Man United game, but I watched them against Villa and they were very good. This should be a tight match.
Norwich v Newcastle
Norwich have lost their last four league matches, so this is a huge game for them at home. Newcastle are really struggling as well - there's not many teams in such bad form as them at the moment - and the loss of Demba Ba is a nightmare. I keep saying they won't go down, but the longer this losing run goes on the more I start to wonder. I think Norwich will carry on their woes here.
Reading v West Brom
Reading need to be patient here and play the way they did to get their win against West Ham. I think they should play 4-5-1, keep things tight, be hard to beat and go from there. A point would be enough for them, but if they can make it hard for West Brom I honestly think they can win this game - which would be a massive result.
Stoke v Chelsea
This game will depend on how Stoke approach it. I watched them against Southampton and it was the first time I'd seen Stoke players believing their own hype. They were great against Liverpool and everybody was waxing lyrical about them and they seemed to think they'd win easily. If they can get back to where they were against Liverpool I don't see them losing this game. I don't like going against Stoke at home so I'll call it a draw.
Sunderland v West Ham
This is a ruthless league and either of these sides could go five games without a win and get sucked into the relegation scrap. It's an important match for both teams, but I think Sunderland need a win badly - just for morale and confidence among the players and fans. They don't win too many games away from home, so they need to win matches like this at home.

This weekend is crucial for City. If United win and they lose to us, I can't see that gap being closed back down.u I think Man Utd Liverpool will be a draw. Van Persie (2) and Suarez and Gerrard for Liverpool. Arsenal will beat Man City 2-1. We outplayed them at the Etihad and with home advantage I think we have what it takes. I'm predicting Chelsea and Spurs to drop points too. two very tough away games.

Hi Paul got to disagree with you on both your predictions ! I believe city will beat Arsenal and Liverpool will beat utd. I also believe city will win the league , Utd only need van persie to get injured and then they are up the swanny , Rooney's not good enough now and van persie has proved that

Not that this will be posted on the website, but this is a ridiculous comment re Falcao. La Liga is regarded by many experts as the best league in the world and Falcao has scored 42 in 50 league appearances. He has also just been named in the FIFA World XI. Granted RVP is in tremendous form, but to suggest he's that he's better than Falcao, and by some way is completely unsubstantiated.

I'm not expecting a goals galore in the game between Arsenal and Man city. man city is missing thier best front man ; Aguero and Yaya Toure especially, which is a very big bonus to Arsenal . I think Arsenal will win, no doubt.....COYG...!!!

Can't see how there is "no way" City will beat Arsenal. It's a very tough Sunday to call all the same.

" Both have been as bad as each other at the back " Have you bothered to look at City's goals against column

Falcao couldn't lace van Persie's boots? Well that's a new one... Maybe you should go out of your shell into the world a bit more... Maybe see some videos in Youtube about Falcao or something. He can score anyway he likes, from anywhere near the box, so as a striker he is unmatched nowadays. As a forward, maybe van Persie is more complete. Or was... But as a striker, no chance

Paul, you are mistaken, Adebayor is available for the QPR game as stated on the Spurs website. Would this prompt you to review your prediction for the QPR - Spurs game?
