Selected betting tips from last Weekend’s Results
Newcastle United 1 – 1 Chelsea
Andy Carroll scored in the 6th minute to put Newcastle into the lead in this match which was more notable for the rumours that Roman Abramovich was about to replace Carlo Ancelotti with Pep Guardiola the Barcelona coach. If this didn’t unsettle Ancelotti then Carroll’s goal probably did. Newcastle sitting 9th in the Premiership saw the score levelled in the 45th minute from a Malouda pass which set up Kalou for the equaliser. With other events unfolding in the Premiership over the weekend this result saw Chelsea drop from the top spot for the first time this season.
Manchester United 7 – 1 Blackburn
Only Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, and Jermain Defoe have scored five goals in a Premier League match until Dimitar Berbatov seemingly woke up from his ten game hibernation to join them with five goals against Blackburn in the 2, 27, 47, 62 and 70 minutes. Park (23) and Nani (48) picked up the other two goals. Christopher Samba got Blackburn’s consolation goal in the 83rd minute. Looking a bit like a tight rugby union score Blackburn withered under this blitz with their fans chanting that they wanted a refund of their ticket money. This result put Manchester United 2 points ahead of Chelsea at the top of the Premiership.
Wolverhampton Wanderers 3 – 2 Sunderland
Mick McCarthy saw his team take victory at Molineux which on paper should have been Sunderland’s for the taking Wolves sitting 19th in the relegation zone. McCarthy’s players are 100% behind him saying that the win was as much for him as anyone else.
Coming Weekend Betting Choices
Birmingham v Tottenham
Spurs have the clear advantage away to Birmingham and there is no doubt that Alec McLeish’s men will have to be playing above themselves for this tie. Birmingham are 11/4 to win with Spurs 6/5 favourites. The draw is forecast at 5/2. My prediction is Birmingham 1 – 2 Spurs.
West Brom v Newcastle
This will be a tough encounter with West Brom sitting at 11/8 to win and Newcastle on 12/5. The draw is the same at 12/5. This is too close to call and I am going for a 1 – 1 draw.
Blackburn v Wolverhampton
Can Wolves repeat their success of last week-end against Sunderland? Will Blackburn have recovered from their hammering at the hands of Manchester United last week-end? One team with their tails up another with their tails between their legs. Blackburn are fancied at 5/6 to win with Wolves coming in at 4/1. A draw will get you 11/4. I’m going to stick my neck out on this one with a result for Wolves – 1-2.

Portsmouth v Tottenham Hotspur betting tip – So Harry is back at his old club Pompey, he’ll be hoping that the visit to Fratton Park will go ‘triffic’. Alot of ex-players will be turning out to play for both sides, Defoe, Crouch, Kaboul and Prince Boateng to name a few. Back Defoe and Kaboul to score at anytime against their old teams, you can get odds of 2.38 (11/8) and 9.2 (8/1).

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
