As you might know, Christiano Ronaldo was sent off against Manchester City for a ‘handball’ incident.  For those of you who haven’t seen it, then take a look at the video below, skip to 6 minutes 20 seconds and you’ll see it all it’s glory.

 This was Ronaldo’s explanation (excuse) for this bizarre incident:

Rooney took the corner, I jumped and that was when I heard a shout from Richards and simultaneously the sound of a whistle. I was convinced that the ref had blown for a foul. I stopped trying to head the ball and score a goal. I grabbed the ball so Richards could get help

PremiershipBettingBanter.com thought that this was a pretty good excuse, but we’ve come up with a couple more excuses he could use:

1. When he jumped to head the ball, the wind blew his hair out of place and he tried to re-style it.
2. A fan in the crowd started chanting: hands up if you love Ronaldo.
3. Ronaldo was practising for the Olympic netball team.
4. Maradonna’s visit to the Manchester United training ground was a bad influence on him.

If you have any other excuses you think Ronaldo could use then feel free to send them in and we’ll add them here.

Arsenal v Man Utd- This game has to be the one that most Premiership football fans will be watching this weekend, Arsenal entertain rivals United at the Emirates.  The Gunners go into this game in the midst of their ‘mini crisis’ (losing one game) whereas United have an unbeaten run of 12 games in all competitions.  It would be wrong to rule out Arsenal due to their patched up team(due to suspensions and injuries), they have in the past managed to win when the odds were against them.  After completing this game United would have played all their title rivals away from home, at the moment they only have 1 point to show from these games.  United will be a threat with players like Berbatov, Rooney and Ronaldo, they certainly are a joy to watch when they all click.

Surely this game we will show us how the Arsenal players react when the pressure is on them, will they prosper or will they wilt?

Betting tips- United away from home are favourite to win this match at odds of 2.34 on Betfair.  But Manchester United haven’t won at the Emirates yet and have only have 1 win in 8 games away to Arsenal.  So the best bet would be to back the draw at odds of 3.3 currently on Betfair.  Also go for a small bet on Berbatov to score at anytime at odds of 3.35.

UPDATE- What a great match to watch, chances at both ends and some great football played by both of these title challengers.  I’m sure that if United had scored then they wouldn’t have ended up on the losing team.  The bet to go for the draw wasn’t successful this time, looking back at it, no matter how bad the Gunners’ last results have been, it was a little crazy for them not to be favourites when playing at home.

The second round of Champions League games begin with Arsenal and Manchester United looking to get three points to kick off their European campaign after they both drew in their respective groups.

Arsenal v FC Porto- Port haven’t had much luck when playing in England, 9 out of 10 visits have resulted in losses.  Although they should go into this game with confidence having beaten Fenerbahce 3-1 at home.  The last time Arsenal played Porto at home was in September 2006 and they won the game 2-0. 

Betting tip-  Porto will try to keep it tight and try to frustrate Arsenal as much as they can. The betting odds for the over and under 2.5 goals reflect this, with over 2.5 goals priced at 2.1 and unders at 1.89 on Betfair.  Usually when Arsenal play there are goals, if they can get an early one then a few more will hopefully follow.  Back over 2.5 goals in this game.

UPDATE (wiiner)- A good night for Arsenal, back on form, scoring goals for fun and a good night for us, backing odds of 2.1 for over 2.5 goals was a great way to double our money in a mere 48 minutes, if only Wall Street could do the same!!  I was also interested in overs in the Man Utd match and doing a double with the two games, but never mind, no need to get too greedy!!

The most surprising result of the week must of been Britney Spears picking up three MTV awards, whatever next?  Theo Walcott scoring a hat-trick?  Surely not.  Well we thought it would be the end of the world on Wednesday, but Capello and his men put in an impressive performance against the Croatians.  If only these bunch of part time footballers could play like that more often, then they may have a chance of qualifying for major tournament.  Continue reading »
