As a player Steve Bull had plenty to shout about, representing England whilst still a Third Division striker and becoming Wolverhampton Wanderers’ all-time leading goalscorer, to name just a few of his achievements. Now as a pundit and ambassador for Goal.com’s<\/strong> betting partner Sportingbet<\/a>, ‘Bully’ has his say on the weekend’s action from the Premier League & the FA Cup.<\/p>\n Over to you Bully…<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n I actually missed the last 15 minutes of the game because I had to make an appearance at a grass roots football event over at Warwick University. I was listening on the radio on the way there and West Brom had chance after chance.<\/p>\n If we\u2019d thrown it away then I think it would have been one foot in the Championship. We\u2019re not done yet though, I still think we\u2019ll need one more win so it would be nice to get it in the bag against Sunderland and then we can have a party against Blackburn!<\/p>\n Good luck this weekend,<\/p>\n Steve Bull<\/p>\n Stoke are an underestimated team \u2013 I\u2019ve been guilty of calling them a boring, horrible side \u2013 but they seem to grind out results. They beat Arsenal last weekend when, if I\u2019d been Tony Pulis, I\u2019d have been resting all my players for the final, but he\u2019s got confidence in his team that they can win the cup.<\/p>\n I think we\u2019ll see them spend a fortune again. The owners want to win the Premier League and the Champions League and the only way they can do it is to spend big money. I think they can do well next season but it all depends on who they sign in the transfer window.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/116600\/116624hp2.jpg\")

The atmosphere at Molineux for the West Brom match was absolutely fantastic \u2013 it was like the start of the season when we really played some football. The lads played as a team and the result was just what we needed.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/129000\/129067hp2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/strong><\/span>On the FA Cup Final\u2026<\/strong><\/span>
I think the FA Cup final should be a special occasion so it warrants its own weekend. In one way they\u2019re devaluing the competition by having Premier League games the same day but they\u2019ve got to keep the season ticking over.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/129900\/129911hp2.jpg\")
<\/a><\/strong><\/span>On Man City\u2019s Champions League qualification\u2026<\/strong><\/span>
I thought Man City would be title contenders this year but they seemed to have a blip in the middle of the season. Man United are still the class side in Manchester because they can grind out the big results, but it takes time to blend in these multi-million pound players.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109100\/109190_news.jpg\")

<\/a><\/strong><\/span>Blackpool 1-1 Bolton<\/a><\/span>
Blackpool have got a big opportunity to win against a Bolton team that\u2019s not playing well at the moment, but I still don\u2019t think they\u2019ll take it. I\u2019m backing the 1-1 draw at 6\/1 here and Charlie Adam to boost his transfer fee with a goal at 2\/1.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109200\/109204_news.jpg\")

<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/span>West Brom 1-2 Everton<\/a><\/span>
Wolves outclassed the Albion last weekend and with nothing left to play for, I think Everton are worth a punt to do the same again at The Hawthorns this weekend. Jermaine Beckford could use a goal at 2\/1 any time and I think 2-1 to the Toffees sounds about right at 17\/2.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109100\/109189_news.jpg\")

<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/a>Blackburn 1-3 Man United<\/span><\/a>
Man United only need a point to secure the title but I don\u2019t think Sir Alex Ferguson would ever settle for a draw, so I\u2019m backing them to win 3-1 at Ewood Park (12\/1). That will keep Blackburn in danger \u2013 with only a trip to Molineux to follow \u2013 after Javier Hernandez sets United on their way with the opener (7\/2).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109200\/109201_news.jpg\")

<\/strong><\/a>Sunderland 1-1 Wolves<\/span><\/a>
Sunderland are safe now so I think Wolves can get a point at the Stadium of Light, especially when you consider their recent form. After getting amongst the goals last weekend, Adlene Guedioura looks a big price at 8\/1 to hit the net at any time, with a 1-1 draw also worthwhile at odds of 5\/1.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109100\/109196_news.jpg\")

<\/strong>City 2-3 Stoke (FA Cup Final)<\/span><\/a>
I\u2019m expecting an absolute thriller of a cup final this weekend and Stoke are definitely underestimated in the betting. Some people might think the FA Cup has been devalued but if my 50\/1 shots on Man City-Stoke in the Double Result or 3-2 Stoke come in, there\u2019ll be enough value to buy drinks all round!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109100\/109192_news.jpg\")

<\/strong><\/a>Chelsea 4-1 Newcastle<\/a><\/span>
I\u2019m predicting this game to end 4-1 to Chelsea, which pays 14\/1, and frankly I think that\u2019s being kind to Newcastle. I thought Blues would get the win at Old Trafford last week but they were still asleep for half an hour and it cost them. No such trouble this weekend, with Florent Malouda my 7\/5 tip to score at any time.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109200\/109206_news.jpg\")

<\/strong><\/a>Wigan 0-0 West Ham<\/a><\/span>
This is my Billy boring pick of the week because I can see the desperation in both these teams cancelling each other out. I\u2019ll be backing Draw-Draw in the Double Result market at a tasty 9\/2 as well as the 12\/1 for a 0-0 Correct Score.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109100\/109188_news.jpg\")

<\/a><\/strong><\/span>Birmingham 2-2 Fulham<\/a><\/span>
Birmingham need a point to survive and I think they\u2019ll get it this weekend in a 2-2 draw (16\/1) with Fulham. The Cottagers were outplayed against Liverpool but have been decent on the whole, with Bobby Zamora looking good on his return, so I\u2019ll back him at 8\/5 to score.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109100\/109195_news.jpg\")

<\/a><\/strong><\/span>Liverpool 2-2 Tottenham<\/a><\/span>
Tottenham have been awful at the back end of the season but I\u2019ve got a funny feeling they can get something from this game. Liverpool may have been playing well but I fancy Peter Crouch to make up for this own goal against Man City by scoring against his old club. He\u2019s 12\/5 to do that and the 2-2 draw also looks good at 14\/1.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/109100\/109185_news.jpg\")

<\/strong><\/a>Arsenal 3-1 Aston Villa<\/span><\/a>
Neither of these sides has much to play for now but the Arsenal players might feel they have a point to prove in the last couple of games \u2013 especially if Arsene Wenger is serious about making changes this summer. I\u2019ll go for 3-1 to the Gunners at 10\/1 and with the form he\u2019s in, it can only be Robin Van Persie to score first at 11\/4.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/111100\/111190_thumb.jpg\")
