First up the betting for the FA-cup final. The odds of 1/3 City win, 4/1 the draw and 8/1 for a Wigan win suggest this will be more like a cricket score then a football result. Its the biggest match Wigan have ever played, they have been wrote off before they have even kicked a ball. Nobody gives them a chance and that allows them to play with a freedom and they will like the wide open spaces of the wembley pitch. The problem is for all the attacking possession football they enjoy they have awful problems at the back. The tip has to be a City win at 1/3 though nothing is to be gained from them odds unless you are putting it in an accumulator. Ive a feeling wigan will scrore so my bet of the day is both teams to score at 11/10
Should be an exciting weekend to look forward to in the premiership. First up the saturday luchtime game. Lots riding on it for both teams. A win for Villa at 10/3 will guarantee there stay in the league for another season. A win for chelsea at 5/6 will confirm there place in the top 4 and champions league footy. With the Europa League final on wednesday what team will Rafa put out. The intensity of the game with Spurs might have taken its toll and some of the players and with the distraction of the europa final and villas attacking power the draw at 5/2 seems the value bet.
Stoke have guaranteed safety so the pressure is off them however all the pressure is on spurs. They simply have to win to stay in the champions league hunt. With all the murmerings of discontent at pulis in recent months, a trip to stoke isnt as intimidating as it once was. The bet for me is a spurs win at 9/10
The news that shook the world happened this week. Fergie retiring and moyes being the new man at old trafford. To me this is going to have a bigger impact for everton who have a massive task of appointing someone to a job where the predessor has consistently over a 10 year period punched above his weight. Moyes will get a great send off from the everton fans and im expecting an everton win. A bet you can get at 1/2
Fulham can still be relegated but i cant see them going down. Last weeks lost to reading at home is not what the home fans have come to expect from a Fulham side at home. Martin Jol knowledge of the european leagues is second to none and whilst the players may not be household names they do a job for the manager. This match is a very hard one to call with all three outcomes possible, Liverpool missing gerrard for the 1st time in the league this season as well as agger is a blow. Rodgers may throw a few youngsters in with virtually nothing to play for. With fulham still not safe and jol wanting an improved display after the loss for reading the tip is a fulham win at 14/5
Norwich need a win in front of the home fans but they are in bad form just at the wrong time of the year. The last gasp loss to villa and lambert would have hit them hard. They are struggling at both ends of the park but expect a big atmosphere at carrow road for one last big push for safety. They may be helped by clarke looking to experiment with his team in the last few weeks of the season. My bet would be norwich win at 6/5
QPR and Newcastle are two teams that have struggled all season. But for cisse’s goals this newcastle team would be already relegated like QPR. Newcastle will be desperate for a result and harry will be hoping to sign off from the premier league with a home win for the fans. My bet is both teams to score at 4/6
One thing you can say about di canio is that he has got the players wound up to play for him. The red cards are not helping the cause though. Southanpton were very unlucky against spurs last week and put for a wonder goal from bale would have got a deserved point. Thats my tip for this fixture too at 23/10
Fergie’s last home game in charge, weve only waited 26 years to say that. One outcome only and thats the betting of a 1/3 man utd win and the end of an era
