Spurs are worth a look

I see that Spurs have shortened to 15/1 for the Barclays Premiership this year and I don’t think this is the worst bet going considering the results over the weekend. Chelsea, Arsenal and United all dropped points this weekend and that leaves a real dogfight at the top of the table. A quick reminder – [...]

A funny punting story

I guess sometimes as punters we need to be able to laugh at ourselves and after a particularly poor patch I guess I can’t be surprised at the way some of the results are going for me! On three occassions over the weekend I had trebles where the fourth leg missed out and in many [...]

Sunday punts

Hhhhmmm well Leeds didn’t do me any favours yesterday by drawing with Arsenal and then Middlesbrough managed to disappoint. Oh well win some lose some. Today the really big game will be the match up between Manchester United and Liverpool. I’m not buying that Dalglish will provide the turnaround even though it offers a ray [...]

Big soccer kicks off!

Inter Milan take on the mighty Barcelone this evening in the first leg of the Champions League fixture. Bearing in mind that we have backed Inter to go all the way this year, we have backed Inter to win this fixture and to do it playing quite an attacking brand of football in front of [...]

Spurs you biscuits!

Well THAT’s going to put a dent in the Arsenal title challenge. Spurs you good thing – a really good result for all involved …. except the Arsenal fans of course. Aston Villa also had to fight hard to bounce back from a Tim Cahill double strike. I think they might regret only managing a [...]

Weekend English Premiership Selections

Some VERY interesting match-ups this weekend with all eyes on the Chelsea vs Manchester United fixture probably going to be a humdinger and in all likelihood a decider for the Premiership. With Rooney not expected to take the field its got to be in Chelseas favour. Our other left field pick is that Birmingham will [...]
