Poor Beat'Nick Webster. He's living here in America, 'on the road' away from his beloved English game. Each week, to stay cool, this crazy Daddy-O will take on all challengers with his picks for the hep cats and the squares of the EPL.

Jazzy Joel Zuercher |
| Bolton v Sunderland |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Michael Ricketts. I dissed him last week and he bit my behind. I love you Mickey, please forgive me. |
Niall Quinn. The in-form Irishman will expose Bolton for the frauds that they are. 2-0 for Sunderland. |
| Square of the Match |
Thomas Sorenson. Tom is one sorry son of a Black Cat. Their season is going south, which is weird because they're from the North. |
Jussi Jaaskelainen. Bolton's Finnish goaltender can't find a shirt big enough to fit his name. |
| Charlton v Leicester |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Shaun Bartlett. Since leaving the MLS for the EPL, Shaun has become a good player ... Coincidence! |
Ronaldo. The Brazilian goes straight into the Addicks' side as Alan Curbishley's slick player exchange deal with Inter Milan finally bears fruit for Charlton, 0-0. |
| Square of the Match |
Matt Elliot. I really wanted to pick Robbie, but I can't do it every week. If you watch closely Matty is doing some serious sulking and is liable to nut PT. |
Robbie Savage. Just look at him. |
| Derby v Arsenal |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Danny Higgonbotham. If Bolton can tie the Arse on the road, I'm sure Danny will be able to plug them at home. |
Dennis Bergkamp. Like Bergkamp, Arsenal often are reluctant to fly high away from Highbury. Against this lot, though, we'll go with 1-nil to the Arse on a late Bergkamp goal. |
| Square of the Match |
Anyone French. If the Gunners want to be legit contenders they better start showing a stiff upper lip and a bit of the Dunkirk spirit. |
Fabrizio Ravenelli. Why would you leave Italy to play for Derby? He wins this year's 'Benito Carbone Award'. |
| Everton v West Ham |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Frederic Kanoute. Scoring goals is the same as scoring with the birds. You never forget how and sometimes you just need an ugly one to get you going again. |
'Car-Sky and Hutch'. Hammers central midfield duo of Michael Carrick and Don Hutchinson, will control the action and lead the pride of London to victory at Goodison. Two-nil to the Cockney boys. |
| Square of the Match |
Paul Gascoigne. Gazza has been doing great for close to two games. Don't worry, this week it'll be yellow cards and out injured for a month. |
Joe-Max Moore. American probably won't get off the bench after blowing a late chance to equalize last week. |
| Boro v Southampton |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Steve McClaren. Steve, you're a genius. I never doubted you, no matter what anybody says. Another three points and we'll be dreaming of Europe. |
Marian Pahars. FOX Sports World's favorite 'Little Latvian' will help the Saints, chronically battling relegation, pull a surprise at the Riverside. 3-2 Southampton. |
| Square of the Match |
Tahar El Khalej. If he reads this he'll probably fall over and try and get me sent off. What a poof! |
Paul Ince. Career has been on a steady downward spiral since leaving West Ham. |
| Spurs v Man United |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Dean Richards. See, it just goes to prove that if you whine long enough, you can play for whoever you like. He is good, though.
|
Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Dutch strikers are good for two things: great goals and cool names. 2-1 to Man Ure with Van Nistelrooy getting the winner. |
| Square of the Match |
David Beckham. To be honest there's so many candidates on the Reds, but Becks is due a temper tantrum, so he gets the nod. |
Kasey Keller. Kasey, there are plenty of places you could play. Why'd you choose to sit behind Neil Sullivan? |
| Aston Villa v Blackburn |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Lee Hendrie. Ooh, he's so annoying snapping at your heels for ninety minutes. If he doesn't take an early bath, he'll be the Hep Cat.
|
Peter Schmeichel. Off-season signing helps Villa - the Cleveland Cavaliers of the EPL (middle-of-the-country, exciting as watching paint dry - to another scoreless draw.) Yawn. |
| Square of the Match |
Corrado Grabi. He's just like his manager. He'll kick anything that moves. 'Sorry mate was that your knee cap I just shattered' is one of his favorite lines. |
Juan Pablo Angel . Much-hyped Villa acquisition finally paying some dividends this year. We're guessing it won't last. |
| Fulham v Chelsea |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Luis Saha. 'Cor blimey me old china' not another London derby. Saha will be going ha ha after this moneybags encounter. |
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. See Van Nistelrooy (above). 2-1 Chelsea. |
| Square of the Match |
Frank Lampard, John Terry, Jody Morris, Eidur Gudjohnsen. "Trousers down, bottoms out, life is but a dream". What was that about Gud - johnsen? Make mine a double lads. |
Frank Lampard. One of four Blues reprimanded for midweek public intoxication, nudity and vomiting. Hmmm, sounds like a FOX Sports World Christmas Party. |
| Ipswich v Leeds |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
The Leeds back four. They're tighter than a gnat's chuff. The Town will need a blow torch to get in behind them. |
Rio Ferdinand Supremely talented England center back keeps Leeds cruising at the top. 3-1 Leeds on the road. |
| Square of the Match |
Titus Bramble. His title of 'one for the future' will be exactly that after United sort him out.
|
Frank Farina. The Australian national skipper again threatens to call in Kewell and Viduka, this time for upcoming 'crucial' East Timor friendly. |
| Newcastle v Liverpool |
|
|
| Hep Cat of the Match |
Foluwashola Ameobi. The stage is set for this boy to become a star if only we can pronounce his name. |
Nolberto Solano. There will be sweet music at St. James Park as the trumpet-playing, Peruvian midfielder helps the Magpies continue their strong start. 3-2 Newcastle. |
| Square of the Match |
Robbie Fowler. Robbie has a chance to shine now the 'Boy Wonder' is out of the way. Watch him cock it up, then go out dancing in the 'Toon' and get beaten up. |
Michael Owen's hamstring Another flare-up deprives Liverpool and England of their most exciting player for two months. |
