Anyway, Id dont really fancy anything too strongly after the international break. City 8/13 at Blackpool is a bit high should be 1/2 but the likes of tevez etc have been globetrotting this week so I will stay clear this weekend. Chelsea took short at 3/4 at Villa too, ever the optimist I’d be suprised if we dont grab a point with Chelsea’s injury problems.
But as a long term punt, Ive actually laid Chelsea on Betfair this evening to win the league. Pricewise I just think they are far too short at this stage of the season. I’m laying at 1.65. I think Villa despite not really settling down this season so far are capable of getting a result this weekend while the main challengers, Arsenal, City and Man Utd all have pretty handy games. Chelsea should still be favourites no doubt, Man Utd seem to have regressed again, Alex Song isnt good enough as a holding midfielder and the City captain apparently hates the game now. Yet there is scope in all these three to improve. I also feel the Chelsea squad is very light on cover this year, Benayoun out for six months is a blow while Alex, Terry and Lampard cant seem to shake off niggly injuries. Chelsea have had a handy run of games this season and even as a lay to back I think there is value there at present.
The relegation market is a great one, Pompey kind of fucked it last year but anyone could really go down and I got stung badly with Hull a couple of years back. Blackpool with the worst group of players in the EPL have City at the weekend are a tempting 1.7. Still think that price might rise a bit as I feel their good start could be maintained a bit longer. Wolves will be better when Hunt comes back and Fletcher is a good signing - you can lay them just short of evens at the moment. I think they are better than they were last season, the international break came at a good time having lost four on the bounce. Wigan are a flaky side but you would think they might just about scrape by. I’m on Newcastle, still think great value there at 5.8 as they wont be signing anyone in Jan. West Brom are playing well but you just know if they do survive it wont be by much (4.0).
In a thread on weekend betting, have you recommended any bet for the weekend ??
After stating that Arsenal, City and United have handy games, the following sentence is just fooking ridiculous.
Chelsea should still be favourites no doubt, Man Utd seem to have regressed again, Alex Song isnt good enough as a holding midfielder and the City captain apparently hates the game now.
You title a thread “Weekend betting” and proceed to inform us that you don’t fancy anything for the weekend but spout off shite that won’t be decided til March at the earliest.
Yes I’m sorry to disappoint the hordes that follow my soccer tipping exploits especially after a very profitable midweek but there is no recommended bet this weekend…
Should have Saamid’s measure. If Frankel is good enough fair play to him but I have my doubts. Has to be becked @ 3/1
Await the Dawn Ch Stakes
Improving and unlike most competitors who’ve had lengthy campaigns, is primed for this

Nailed on for a big run

Clarenbrige to win Galway Chship 6/1 with Mulhollands. The Portumna factor has them massively overpriced but Port are not firing on all cylindars this year, JC espicially and Loughrea replay no gimme tomorrow. Clarenbridge are a tidy outfit this year, are sitting pretty and will fancy their chances no matter who they oppose in the final on Sunday week. Take the 6/1 before tomorrows replay.
Profound Beauty 16/1 E/W Melbourne Cup
Currently in quarantine for this, all reports are positive from the yard, the price will only contract from here so now is the time to invest with confidence.
Only out of top 2 once in last nine starts, PB has the right balance of class and pure grit to run a massive race in this for a stable who knows what it takes. Get on
It was a HEC game he was betting on you tool, its HEC weekend Mac, didn’t you know? The Munster hooker is almost always the ball carrier at the back of a rolling maul and/or an off the top line out drive. I’m sure thats why, considering the way Toulon play, Runts mate gave him the tip. Flannery, Fogarty and Sheehan all have scored that way in recent years in HEC.
They are treated differently in Munster, and they play accordingly. Anyway, nobody was saying it was nailed on, it was 35/1 after all.
