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.

Gateshead v Rushden & Dmonds
Mansfield v Oxford Utd
Sunderland v Birmingham
SD Padres -1.5 @ PIT Pirates
SF Giants @ ARI Diamondbacks

Any thoughts?

One of those games that could go either way. One to stay away from if you ask me. Haven't a scooby on what bets to do for tonight.

I'm thinking I might have a reasonable sized bet on a Pompey, Blackburn and Shorpe treble. Then have £5 on something that pays about 20/1. But what I will go for I havn't made my mind up yet.

Nothing I fancy tonight. Can't stand the Carling Cup.

Anything can happen, bookies love it though

I know I seem to be dissing everyone who puts up Carling Cup tips but I think Forest will beat Blackburn as they are creating alot of chances but not getting the rub (Ian Holloway commented how Blackpool robbed them on Saturday) and I think this will be their chance to come good against a Blackburn side that however they line up will not have much to scare Forest.

And I think Mansfield will beat Oxford


Think that makes a 4 timer from picking on other's tips

Blackpool
Forest
Mansfield
Peterborough

Now if I can find good odds with draw no bet that has a bit of potential about it and then a small 4 timer all to win.

Any particular reason?

Just a case of two pretty evenly matched teams and one being about 5/2 at home in a match they will want to be well up for after a good start but a couple of late reversals recently.

I do not think Oxford are quite as good as the table makes out and at home fair enough they would probably beat Mansfield but on the road I just think this match is made to stall their charge a little.

Oh and 6 clean sheets on the trot is just greedy!!!!

But I talked you out of doing Cardiff so would not want to do so again

Too late now! The seed of doubt you planted is now a towering oak

Think Daryl Clare might start up front for the Stags too and this was the sort of game he relished and used to score for fun in when he was with Burton.

Got £1 on

Leeds v Liverpool DRAW 5/2
Shorpe 1/2 v Port Vale
Gateshead v Rushden 10/11
Hull v Everton 21/20
Preston v Tottenham 4/6
Villarreal v Real Madrid 8/13

Returns - £55.32

Ok so I'm going with

Shorpe v Port Vale
Gateshead v Rushden
Hull v Everton
Preston v Tottenham
Villarreal v Real Madrid

Now that would make a nice pay day

Tipped and backed Matlock as a good thing last week in the FA Cup and they came good, won away 4-3 at the league leaders on Saturday (alas did not back them then)and are odds against at home tonight v Frickley.

Looks good to me
