Pick of Last Weekend’s Fixtures

The question is where I start as there was a lot going on.

BIRMINGHAM CITY 1 – 0 CHELSEA

The St Andrew’s crowd (24,357) witnessed something that last occurred 30 years ago. A bit like the appearance of Halley’s Comet in the heavens, Birmingham achieved a victory over Chelsea with a 17th minute goal by Lee Bowyer. This was very much against the flow of play with Chelsea having something like 25 attempts on goal against the 2 attempts by Birmingham. However it only takes a bit of luck and the ball in the back of the net to make all the difference.

ARSENAL 2 – 3 TOTTENHAM

In a similar manner it has been 17 years since Spurs have won away to Arsenal. The Emirates crowd of 60,102 saw some entertaining football as Spurs pulled back from 2-0 down in the first half to score in the 50th minute by Gareth Bale, a penalty in the 67th minute from Rafael Van der Vaart and an 85th minute goal from Younes Kaboul to clinch a well deserved victory.

Betting- Coming up This Weekend

Aston Villa v Arsenal

Aston Villa are 14/5 to win against Arsenal at 11/10 and 5/2 for a draw. Arsenal look good for the victory as long as there are no slip ups.

Bolton Wanderers v Blackpool

Bolton stand at 4/6 for the win against Blackpool who are on 5/1 with the odds sitting at 16/2 for the draw. Blackpool might just upset the apple cart in this match.

Everton v West Bromwich Albion

This could be the match of the week end with Everton and West Brom sitting 16^th and 15^th respectively in the premiership. The betting stands at 5/8 for an Everton win, 11/2 for West Brom and 3/1 for the draw. Could be worth a bet on the draw.

Fulham v Birmingham

Not much separates these two although I fancy Birmingham for this match. The betting stands at 11/10 for a Fulham win with Birmingham standing at 3/1 and 12/5 for the draw. This should be an entertaining game.

As usual I like to keep you up to date with the Top Goal Scorers to date.

Happy betting and have a good weekend.

There seems to be as much news off the pitch, if not more, than what is actually happening on it.

Before I get started I agree with the sentiments on a fans banner at Old Trafford that asked the question “Who’s the whore now Wayne?”

Much as I admire Sir Alex Ferguson I would have let poor Mr Rooney go. However, having said that, I will concede that Sir Alex knows what he doing. How much more money do you want to stuff into your pants Wayne? You’ve a lot to prove now mate. I don’t think you’re up to it. However you won’t be making a trip to the dole queue like a lot of the fans who pay your wages.

Pick of Last Weekend’s Fixtures

LIVERPOOL FC 2-1 BLACKBURN ROVERS

My faith in Liverpool was upheld at the weekend with this 2-1 victory over Blackburn. Yes it is too soon to say that the revival is under way. However the victory should help to lift the team’s spirits and confidence a bit. I had hoped that the victory would have lifted them out of the relegation zone but that will need to wait for another week or two. The goal scorers were Kyrgiakos (48) and Torres (53) for Liverpool with Carragher scoring an own goal for Blackburn (50).

Premiership Betting tip

Liverpool meet Bolton Wanderers this coming weekend. The odds are sitting at 5/2 for a Bolton win at home, 11/8 for Liverpool and 12/5 for a draw.

Here are the results for the most recent meetings between the two teams.

30/01/2010  Liverpool 2-0 Bolton

29/08/2009  Bolton 2-3 Liverpool

26/12/2008  Liverpool 3-0 Bolton

The question is, can Liverpool lift their game to reflect these recent scores? The betting suggests a close tie. I think Roy Hodgson will be able to lift his team to a close victory and get the team fired up for the rest of the season.

Elsewhere in the Premiership there were no upsets with Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal winning their games, meaning that Manchester City slipped up to Arsenal.

Malcolm Allison – Born 5 September 1927 Died 15 October 2010 aged 83

He was a great football coach who with Joe Mercer brought in one of the most successful periods for Manchester City from 1967 to 1970. His football career was spent mainly with West Ham United playing 250 games for the team. “Big Mal” spent his final years in care homes and suffered from dementia.

LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB

The long drawn out saga at Liverpool FC seems to have run its course although the two amigos are still threatening legal action. Let’s hope that this great club can begin to focus on what they are good at. I.e. play football. I know they didn’t show it at the weekend.

Last Weekend Fixtures

Thinking back to last week’s blog, I believe I can hold my hand up and say “I told you so.”

My chosen games were Manchester United v West Brom, Newcastle v Wigan, And Bolton Wanderers v Stoke

I did say that the Bolton Wanderers v Stoke game was too close to call. In the end it was the home advantage that gave Bolton the edge to take the three points. Meanwhile Manchester United gave away a two goal lead to let hard working West Brom share in the points. My preferred game at Newcastle likewise saw Wigan throw away a two goal lead to let the home side equalise and once again share in the points.

Premiership Betting tips

West Ham v Newcastle

If past form is anything to go by West Ham should be able to capitalise on the home advantage at 6/4 to win while Newcastle are coming in at 11/5 to win. The odds are 12/5 for the draw. Newcastle showed some tenacity in coming back against Wigan last weekend. This is my bet of the weekend

Most recent meetings

10/01/2009 Newcastle 2-2 West Ham
20/09/2008 West Ham 3-1 Newcastle
26/04/2008 West Ham 2-2 Newcastle

Liverpool v Blackburn

Can Liverpool begin to get their act together against Blackburn on Sunday? Think of it lads, a win will lift you out of the relegation zone and could perhaps dump Blackburn into it. The bookies are looking favourably on Liverpool at 4/5 to win against Blackburn’ s 9/2 with a draw being forecast at 11/4. I think Liverpool can pull this off.

Most recent meetings

28/02/2010 Liverpool 2-1 Blackburn
05/12/2009 Blackburn 0-0 Liverpool
11/04/2009 Liverpool 4-0 Blackburn

Leading goal scorers to date are:

6 Berbatov (Manchester United)
6 Drogba (Chelsea)
6 Malouda (Chelsea)
6 Tevez (Manchester City)
5 Bent (Sunderland)
4 Elmander (Bolton Wanderers)
4 Carroll (Newcastle United)
4 Walcott Arsenal)
4 Cahill (Everton)
4 Kalou (Chelsea)

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).
