Fulham United is the game I'm most worried about for the unders to be honest...

You have bigger problems than that game. I'm trying to figure out if the Newcastle or Man City game will be the highest scoring game.

Why is that?

Tomorrow Spurs/Chelsea

Adebayor v doubtful, bale v doubtful, lennon & defoe out. Chelsea value at 7/4 based on this?

Think Adebayor will start tbh, but King is a big doubt. With Huddlestone and Dawson still out, they've a few holes to fill. I like the look of Chelsea myself

[CheckRaise]

Personally I would wait for the lineups and if Bale, Adebayor and VDV are in, King is out and Sturridge & Mata start I would do the overs with a bit on the 3.5 also.

Anything else I would not bet.

[A_CitizenErased]

Good luck tonight lads.

[Flushdraw]

Arsenal
Man U
Man City
Newcastle

Accum for me

Not too confident on Arsenal down. Our defense is severely depleted

[CheckRaise]

Can't bring myself to go big on any bet tonight so will have a few smaller ones and watch the city game.

Good Luck lads.

[CheckRaise]

Swansea set up for the 0-0 and Cahill on the bench.

[A_CitizenErased]

Arsenal 1-0 up already.. Van Persie! Get in

[CheckRaise]

What is the opinion on Napoli to beat Genoa?

Lavezzi is my main concern.

Genoa have huge injury concerns.

25 minutes.

Napoli 3-0.

[tglynn]

RVP you god!!

All games 1-0 but Newcastle i the wrong way. Let's get back level and then worry about the win

Woot - Right on cue!

[A_CitizenErased]

My bets for the night anyway:

Bottom treble all up at the moment

Man City 2-0 now ..

Need Suarez and Rooney to score now.. CMON!

[CheckRaise]

I have an interesting bingo ticket

[eagle eye]

I've got two tebles, Newcastle letting me down in one of them and no goals in the Wigan/Liverpool game where I have over 2.5 so not looking good tonight.

Have Arsenal and United with the Geordies in one and City -1.5 and United -.5 in the second one.

[Flushdraw]

That's looking good CR. Can see them all coming good.

I got on RVP and Aguero Top Premiership goalscorers at 6/4 and 7/2 respectively a couple of weeks ago to give me a day to day sweat. RVP on 16 and Aguero/Rooney/Ba all tied 2nd on 12

[tglynn]

Fuck you Liverpool!

[Jibzzzz]

Ive a 5 team accum

Man Utd
Arsenal
Liverpool
Napoli
Real betis

[CheckRaise]

[A_CitizenErased]

Fuck.

Arsenal need to get together again now for this half.

[CheckRaise]

I have a bad feeling paddy is going to take my €3

[CheckRaise]

GETTTTTT INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[Jibzzzz]

Need them Loserpool pricks to score

[Jibzzzz]

Hate Liverpool

[Jibzzzz]

I have an interesting bingo ticket

Vwp Sir

[Thefonze]

Nothing jumps off the page for me tonight. Think I might just lay Liverpool at 4/7. Think those odds are a little short. Might also lay United against Fulham.

Layed both so a small profit on the night. Could have been worse.

[A_CitizenErased]

City -1
Utd
Arsenal

Pays 4/1

Ship Ship

[Flushdraw]

Van Persie is 2 goals between Shearer's 16 year old record of 36 league goals in a calendar year. Our last 2 games of this year are home to Wolves and home to QPR. RVP needs 3 to beat the record. Anywhere online i can back him to beat the record?

Just checked this bluesquare and 888sport have books on this tony.
Not sure about now but before last night these were the odds.
Not to score till end of year 5/1
To have 34/35 goals 2/1
To equal record 3/1
To break it 6/4.

Scratch all that yesterday bet365 were doing 11/4 for him to break it check it out on the phone so can't do much

Backing not to score at 5/1 as I hear there is a possibility that their game on the 26th may be called off due to a tube strike. Think 5/1 is value as if that is the case can lay the anytime goalscore against QPR and lock in profits

They will surely cover themselves with some type of Rule 4 though, no?

[The Situation]

Spurs drifting a lot in the market, even with potential losses they've still got a lot of quality depth in the squad. Have won 6 on the bounce at home, and Chelsea haven't won at the lane since 05. I'll wait for starting lineups as certain players are key to system functioning- Adebayor (doubtful) as the focal point of attacks, also VdV effectivness depends hugely on him playing. Would never get on without King playing either. Wouldn't be as worried if Bale or Lennon didn't start as they've other good options.

[OnyaByke]

I would imagine any players effectiveness would depend hugely on them playing!!

Been looking at this and it could go either way. Fancy a few goals so will go for Over 2.5 @ 4/5

[A_CitizenErased]

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals

What's his odds now? €20-€40 @ 3/1 or €41-€75 @ 18/5 depending on both Arsenal games going ahead?

There's no chance all those bets will come up for you.

[Thefonze]

Backed over 4 goals tonight!

[A_CitizenErased]

There's no chance all those bets will come up for you.

Of course.

But if even one of them come in I am in profit due to the long odds.

[The Situation]

I'm hearing Bale Ade and King all start, awaiting official confirmation but 2/1 is massive if so. They should be favs!

[mdoug]

confirmed

Starting: Friedel; Walker, Gallas, King, Assou-Ekotto; Modric, Parker, Sandro, Bale; Van der Vaart, Adebayor
Subs: Gomes; Bassong, Kaboul; Rose, Kranjcar, Livermore; Pavlyuchenko

personally on chelsea but I did bet before team sheets were announced, less confident now but I personally don't think they will lose anyway - can't see them allowing spurs go 5 ahead of them with a game in hand for the Christmas day table. Best of luck anyway peeps

[Flushdraw]

24 Friedel
13 Gallas
26 King
28 Walker
32 Assou-Ekotto
07 Bale
08 Parker
11 Van der Vaart
14 Modric
30 Sandro
10 Adebayor

[The Situation]

'Arry probably fabricated all them injury concerns just to get on Spurs after the inevitable big drift in price, early Christmas present for himself.

[davepoke/her]

Backed over 4 goals tonight!

Have the same.

[A_CitizenErased]

Van der goal to score first at 13/2 so i took that too.

[Guest]

expecting a good game

spurs should have just enough
but
think Meireles @29 on betfair for the first goal is worth a dirty €5

Mikel's inclusion should allow Meireles to get forward more

Meireles has a decent shot on him & likes to arrive late in the box
Drogba (if he works) creates space for others

?

*into 23

[CheckRaise]

This weeks bingo bet

did the ladbrokes 3 anytime goalscorers at 10/1

10 combinations from

RVP
Aguero
Adebayor
Suarez
Ba

3 break me even and any more is the gravy.

[CheckRaise]

Paddys have a special on the Norwich v Tottenham match

If there are 5 or more goals in this game, Paddy Power will refund all losing 1st/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on that match.

1-2 @ 7/1
1-3 @ 11/1
2-2 @ 11/1

Tips for the weekend?

[CheckRaise]

Cant figure out the price on liverpool this weekend. Am I missing something? Did they sign a top class forward?

Yeah not the easiest game to price up. I've been neg on both sides in recent weeks particularly Newcastle. Aside from Maxi chipping in with his fair share of goals for 'Pool there's been a real lack of goals right through the team, they have been a little unlucky at times but also very wasteful. They've defended really well though so the odd goal is getting them results. This would all point at unders being a play at ~evs but the fixture does have a tradition of being high scoring which is putting me off a little whether it should or not.

[A_CitizenErased]

Newcastle wincast with Ba tonight 10/1 for a bit of interest.

[davepoke/her]

If Gerrard starts Carroll will score goals. If he doesn't it'll probably be a 1-0, 1-1 type game.

[Opr]

Opta Liverpool
3.18 - In the 34 PL fixtures between Liverpool and Newcastle 108 goals have been scored at an average of 3.18 goals per game. Entertaining

Talk that Ba isn't fit to start. (Other bit of info was wrong)

Opr

Haven't heard anything about this? Know he picked up a knock at Bolton but heard hes expected to start. Hope he doesn't as I went for unders in the end so his absence would obv be a bonus.

Supposedly talk about it on some Newcastle forum which I am reading second hand on a Liverpool forum so pinch of salt needed with the info.
