BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR BEAR. That’s right, there are no imposters here. Forget the Panda, the cub, and even the bare (eh???).

The one and only Freedom Bear is here with yet another expert prediction. Remember kids, if it’s not bear, it’s not real!

Last weekend the bear witnessed possibly one of the worst 45 minutes ever against a totally inept Charlton side. Poor, shoddy, and downright boring!

Luckily the second half wasn’t as bad, and so only two points were dropped instead of three. Bargain. Kind of.

So it’s a tough trip away to Aston Villa this weekend, and a 12:30 televised kick off should suffice to see another smog defeat as more points are dropped.

The bear realises it is a well-known fact that the smogs don’t do well on TV, but there can be no excuses this weekend! Everton comprehensively destroyed a lacklustre Villa last week, showing the kind of play that the smogs have been lacking lately.

With Boateng and Viduka STILL out (Nearly 3 years now!), the bear sees that the Geordie sniper hasn’t rested on his laurels, and in fact has been at it again! This time the target was the free euro scoring teen hero Morrison, so once again the casualty list is increased.

The bear can now guarantee that with Mendieta and Morrision injured, the smogs will take their one sided play (left – for those that don’t know) to an all new level.

In fact, the bear suggests the right side will be totally redundant as an attacking force, and therefore there is room for two right full-backs. Maybe this way Reiziger won’t be found out of position so often!

So with injuries galore, and the smogs being on TV, the bear is plumping for an easy 2-0 Villa win. The bear anticipates the smogs to wrack up no more than three attempted shots on goal.

As usual, the bear suggests you make some easy money to cushion the blow of defeat. Back the bear, and earn the night off from your street corner.

TFB. Team Freedom Bear. How you should be.
