At the front of every newspaper at the beginning of this week was the name ‘Lehman’, unfortunately it was the sad news of the many job losses at the Global Investment Bank and nothing to do with crazy ex-Arsenal goal keeper Jens Lehman(n). 

With a major recession looming , it’s re-assuring to know that the Premiership clubs like Manchester United have taken heed and have only splashed out £30 million pounds on one player.  Now that’s what PremiershipBettingBanter.com calls a sensible approach to this unstable economic climate!!!

Sunderland v Middlesbrough- Middlesbrough will be missing a vital player in Tuncay through injury, this will be a big loss as he’s been one of the reasons why ‘Boro have made a good start to the season.  Roy Keane looks to have pretty much a full squad of players to pick from.  Last years’ fixture produced a scoreline of 3-2 to Sunderland. 

Premiership Betting tip-  Both home and away fixtures produced 9 goals in total, let’s bet against the odds and back the over 2.5 goals, odds of 2.12 goals can be found on Betfair.

UPDATE: Another losing bet, if only Downing had scored that penalty then I’m sure that would of set this match up for over 2.5 goals.  One more and we would of made some nice profit at odd of 2.12.  Don’t worry, keep the faith, I have a feeling a good run is on it’s way, lets hope it comes quicker then a Tottenham win!!

Blackburn v Fulham
Bolton v Arsenal
Liverpool v Stoke
Sunderland v Middlesbrough
West Ham v Newcastle
Chelsea v Man Utd
Hull v Everton
Man City v Portsmouth
Tottenham v Wigan
West Brom v Aston Villa

So after months of trying to find the best person to suceed John Terry as captian, who does Capello choose?  John Terry of course!!  Well at least Terry can confidentaly say he can live up to the last permanent England captain.

Betting tip-  John Terry will want to make a big impression in his first (well sort of) game as captain, hopefully it will be at the right end of the pitch for England, so back him in a fun bet to score at anytime on Betfair at odds of 11.0 against his Chelsea teamate Cech.  You may also want to back Lampard as well at odds of 4.8.

Update- Backing Terry to score didn’t come off, but another defender Wes Brown was the man to score.  A losing fun bet, but hopefully it added some interest to a bland England game.

It’s been a long long summer,the night where Spain won their first piece of silverware for over 40 years feels like months ago(are you sure it really happened?). With the talk of the credit crunch looming, it’s great to see footballers are leading by example and taking pay cuts, Arsenal’s Adebayour will have to survive on only £4 million a year and Robbie Keane will only make the paltry sum of £20 million over the next 4 years.  How will they survive?

With the Premiership starting, all talk will be on who will lift the title at the end of the season and what team will be dropping down in to the Championship.
