English Premier League - Season Long Thread

[Swooper16]

3 bets this week - the draw always represents good value so have included a few in my multi's

Bet 1

Brum Vs Reading DRAW (reading have hit some form but brum under their new manager and at home i think can get a point)
Boro to beat Derby (In Tuncay Boro might have found a player to put the ball in the net)
Blackburn to beat Wigan (always bet against a team with Titus Bramble)
Newcastle to beat Fulham (not real sure about this one probably should have left it alone)

$10 @ $45.97

Bet 2

Pompey Vs Tottenham Draw (Yids slowly start to get themselves together. Benjani's goals have dried up lately as well)
Man City to beat Bolton (city should be too strong at home...most likely 1-0)
S'land Vs Villa Draw (Sunderland are always competitive and Villa in a minor slump)
West Ham Vs Everton Draw (very confident this will end even)

$10 @ $58.13

Bet 3

Arsenal / Chelski Draw
Man Utd / L'pool Draw

These "super Sunday's" or whatever sky calls them usually turn out to be a bit of a fizzer. All teams i think will be more cautious about losing rather then trying to win. Arsenal look to be without Flamini & Fabregas while Chelski will be minus Drogba so that evens things out. THe Shev actually scored last week so will be interested to see how he goes in a big match.

L'pool could do the job if they keep the same formation and team as midweek but with Rafa that rarely happens. Fortunately its at Anfield so at least the players wont have to be worried about being burgaled while their playing. Man Utd also rested almost all their guns from europe during the week. Still Im predicting a dour 1-1

$10 @ $9.92

good luck with the multis

i was on a real good run earlier in the year but seem to have hit the wall, still showing a profit.

i think Brum can and should win, but as yuo mentioned reading are in good form, not a bad game to watch.

SWOOPER

unlucky with BET 1 multi

wigan scoring 5 goals

[Swooper16]

You always need some luck in the multi's and i didnt get any on my first 2. As expected Wigan leaked 3 goals but unbelievably Blackburns usually tight defence let in 5!! That cost me $460

Fingers crossed for tonights multi.

[The Dutchman]

Unlucky on those multi's swooper! Everton also had a good win which didnt help you.

Tonight i like Man Yoo and Chelski. Drogba out wont hurt as much when you have so many players who can score (Lampard for example).

Wouldnt be surprised to see a few goals scored in the Man Yoo game.

[Dutchy]

Have gone both Arsenal and Man U, only need 1 to hit to make a profit

[mighty_tiger_79]

19942 CELTIC $1.60
19943 RANGERS $2.25 get on, over the odds
19944 TEAMS NOT QUOTED $26.00 tabsportsbet prices

updated odds after CELTIC choked to a 10 man inverness who came from behind in a great win, there first ever over celtic in the premier league

19943 RANGERS $1.85
19942 CELTIC $1.90
19944 TEAMS NOT QUOTED $26.00

hard to see RANGERS not winning the title from where they are now.

also Man Utd i think will come away with a few trophies as well.

nice work Dutchy

Carling cup tonight - getting towards the end of this comp so the shock results you see in the early rounds should have subsided. However over the X-mas period most teams will be required to play 4 premier league matches in less then 10 days so i cant see either of Chelski, L'pool, Le Arsenal or B'burn playing any of their starting 11.

I have backed Arsenal into Liverpool. Liverpool are away to chelsea but with already Drogba and Terry out i dont think Chlesea will risk Essien or Lamps and rather give players like Bridge and Sidwell a full run. Rafe on the otehr hand is the master of rotation and i think will want a good result after the weekend. I think Arsenal's reserves should do the job against Blackburn at the Emiratres.

2 Multi's (so far) this week

Multi 1

Villa / Man City Draw (Villa in a bit of a slump but Man City not too flash away from home)
Liverpool to beat Pompey

Multi 2

Arsenal to beat the yids
Bolton / B'ham draw
Fulham / Wigan draw
Reading to beat S'land

Also intersting to see Everton paying $8.25 to beat Man Utd. Game is at Old Trafford but Everton have been on fire and who knows how Man Utd will respond after all the news involivng their X-mas party.

[Swooper16]

Another unlucky weekend. Scott Parker scoring for the hammers in the 90th minute to cost me in the first multi

Bolton smashed the brummies which ruled out my second multi.....bring on boxing day.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Man Utd $1.38 to beat everton

Newcastle $1.30 to beat derby - anyother score could be an option here also if Newcastle decide to play seriously

ABERDEEN - RANGERS this will be a cracker, the dons coming off the BIGGEST night in EUROPE on thursday, defeating Copenhagen 4 - 0, always hard to beat at Pittodrie, but expect a Draw or Rangers win unfortunately, not the best way to bring up x-mas!! draw $3.75

[mighty_tiger_79]

Man Utd $1.38 to beat everton get the cash

Newcastle $1.30 to beat derby - anyother score could be an option here also if Newcastle decide to play seriously - seriously disgraceful, another bloody black and white coloured team letting me down

ABERDEEN - RANGERS this will be a cracker, the dons coming off the BIGGEST night in EUROPE on thursday, defeating Copenhagen 4 - 0, always hard to beat at Pittodrie, but expect a Draw or Rangers win unfortunately, not the best way to bring up x-mas!! draw $3.75 - ended 1-1

[Swooper16]

[mighty_tiger_79]

ABERDEEN v INVERNESS tabsportsbet prices

$1.83 with draw at $3.30 and inverness $4.00

ABERDEEN should be winning this, but are missing 5 key players.

very very tempting to invest on the $3.30 draw

[mighty_tiger_79]

ABERDEEN v INVERNESS tabsportsbet prices

$1.83 with draw at $3.30 and inverness $4.00

ABERDEEN should be winning this, but are missing 5 key players.

very very tempting to invest on the $3.30 draw

Aberdeen ended up winning with 85th minute penalty, otherwise it probably would have been a draw with not many threatening shots on target

unbeaten in 12 home games the mighty DONS

[johntheclaret]

I've done a quick review for Sundays games 3rd Rnd FA Cup on the Soccer Forum (see With Jan 6th in mind thread)

Stoke have 3 key players out for tomorrow, so whilst I would have jumped on the wagon for a potters win, not so convinced now. A draw is a good prospect IMO.

Being a Clarets fan I would love Burnley to turn the Gunners over, but we have way too many missing and Wenger is sending a near full strength side. Burnley always raise their game against good footballing sides, Charlton, Watford and Wolves, all away, have learnt that whilst we have crashed to shite sides like QPR and Preston at Turf Moor. Expect the same tomorrow with the Clarets playing out of their skins but Arsenal will be too good. Expect a 3 or 4 goal win margin.

Liverpool will murder Luton. No Gerrard tomorrow but the Reds will simply be too strong. Don't expect Rafa to risk playing a weakened side, after getting his fingers burned 2 years ago doing just that at Burnley. Came in for a lot of stick that time and has taken the FA cup more seriously since Another 3 or 4 goal margin.

If there is going to be an upset, it could well be at Derby. They have been shite this year and have a string of 1st team players missing for this. Wednesday have improved this year and will see this as their big chance. Forecast a 1 goal win to Wednesday.

Despite their current form Fulham will beat Bristol Rovers. Influential Bouazza is back for the cottagers and Bristol captain and stalwart Stuart Campbell is missing. Forecast 2 goal win to Fulham.
