I'd claim you are the luckiest

Taking a very short price on Celtic and it only coming right 3 mins into injury time.

Fair play to you but it would have been gutting for you if you got the hard part right (predicting a draw) and then one of your short certs messed it up....and in truth Man Utd and Celtic came mighty close to doing so.

I agree I have been quite lucky this weekend in truth, Bolton equaliser was a late, United won it late and so did Celtic. I put Celtic on my bet as I thought it was banker and a sure way of getting my return up.

Fair enough but there were bankers nearer Evens....Everton (4/5), Tamworth (10/11) for a start, you do not have to take 1/3 or 1/2 for it to be a good thing you know

This week it came off for me but I'll have a look next week for the higher odds bankers

Nah if you win it does not matter how it comes about and fair play to you

Gone for Wigan -10pts this evening. Again not the most confident selection but here's hoping.

A case of what could have been after Wigan led 18-0.

Would never bet giving points in play offs as if you push ahead your only bothered about keeping the lead and going through not winning by a certain margin.

Hope you noticed I got both championship one games right

Leeds to beat Liverpool is my bet of the week.

7/2 in Coral or 9/2 Paddy. Liverpool will field an understrength side (i think) and Leeds have got off to a flyer in League 1 and are already 9points clear of those outside the playoffs. My heart says Liverpool, but the likes of David N'gog and Lucas may not cut it for them @ Elland Road. Leeds 2-1.

Totally agree mate..though leeds are now 5/1 with coral now has to be hosed up imo!

9/2 online with Coral. I'd take that... but will i bet against my own team?

Carlisle to beat Pompey - 3/1
Blackburn to beat Notts Forest 11/10
Newcastle to beat Peterborough 6/5
West Ham to beat Bolton 6/4

Some pretty decent bets there.

Tread wary on Peterborough as they are playing really well despite drawing a lot of games, I think they will take it more seriously than Newcastle and a draw or even a Posh win is a likely outcome so I would leave that one out.

Kasimpasa v Galatasaray

Over 2.5 goals AGF Aarhus v Midtjylland

Agreed Posh aren't bad, but i fancy Newcastle's chances in this one.

Take espanyolswan's advice on this one. We're likely to field an understrength team and although it should still be good enough to give Peterborough a game, 6/5 is far too short.

Sorry mate, he also fooked my bet up to as i had that along with Leeds 1/2 v Gillingham and Middlesbrough v West Brom 11/8

but TBF he is normally very reliable with League 1 and Millwall games.. Also had a single on Bolton to beat Stoke

So it was a bad weekend on the football for me

No worries pal. I was a bit pished off at the time, but that's the nature of the beast, isn't it?

I know the Carling Cup can be dodgy but I think I'll go for these tomorrow:

Blackburn to beat Forest 11/10
Portsmouth to beat Carlisle 5/6
Liverpool to beat Leeds 8/13
Stoke to beat Blackpool 8/11

Around 9/1 in all. Stoke are the only home team.

You said it mate

That's why I leave it alone.
Best of luck though.


Da Silva Liedson anytime scorer Sporting v Olhanense tonight.

Blackpool are another team playing well.

Against Stoke reserves they can at least hold it tight and perhaps take it to extra time or pens.

Speedway play offs both on Sky tonight.


No great value but Coventry to win the meeting v Swindon (11/4 with SJ) and Lakeside (+11 Bet 365 or Ladbrokes) v Wolves look the best calls.


Swindon should win the whole thing but at 4/7 are no value.

Anyone doing anything in the icc trophy?

I am doing the following,

sri lanka @ 13/2 Aussies @ 7/2
Ponting top scorer @ 16/1, duminy @ 35/1
Smith more runs then kallis @ 4/5
And england to lose all 3 group games @ 7/4

Good luck all

Yeah, I read that Sporting Life preview too

Just to follow this up, I've heard that there's at least one lad making his debut tomorrow night (Tavernier). I'd imagine there will be a few more who will also play some part - Krul, Kadar, LuaLua and Vuckic are potential starters plus Tozer, Donaldson and Baheng will probably be on the bench.

Although I know who they all are, I doubt many people will have even heard of some of them! As I've mentioned, we may still be good enough to beat Posh but 6/5 is a terrible price, especially away from home against a potentially full-strength outfit.
