Arsenal's fans constant derision of Giroud shows you generally how clueless they are.

I know,

He's gorgeous.

Bit of value in French League 2 tonight IMO

Angers away to Laval @ 13/10 on BetVictor

There's been 5 games played in the league, and Laval have lost all 5 (6 total if you include their cup defeat). Angers on the other hand, have won 4 and drew 1 of their first 5 league games. As far as H2H stats go, Laval have yet to beat Angers in 9 meetings and have lost their last 3 so think the 13/10 is too big.

Tours home to Istres @ 4/5 in lots of places also looks decent.

Tours started off with a loss and a defeat, but have won their last 3 games (4 if you include the cup). Istres have drawn their last 3 and yet to win this season. If you stretch back to last season, they haven't won in their last 11 matches, and won just 3 times in their last 30 matches.

Pretty excited about tomorrow. Watched a few videos over the last couple of weeks and he makes some of the stuff he does look so effortless. His range of passing and his vision looks incredible and he's so unselfish infront of goal. The glaring difference though between Arsenal and Madrid, is that Giroud is no Ronaldo, so Ozil can create chance after chance, but we still need a world class striker up front to get the full benefit of him. I'll cut off my left bollock if Wenger hasn't already put the wheels in motion to bring in somebody special in the January window.

Don't think I've seen anything like the cross for the first goal in the compilation.

Mooching around all morning looking for a bit of info/value and came across this on another site:

Tranmere to score over 1.5 goals at home to Brentford - 11/4 Coral



I know Tranmere are struggling and Brentford aren't half bad, but this punt revolves around this bit of info:

"Brentford goalkeeper David Button starts a three-game ban so Jack Bonham is set to deputise as Richard Lee recovers from a shoulder problem."

Nobody knows Jack Bonham but he was the lad who kept goal for Watford on the final day last season and let in a howler to deny them promotion. He was released by them and snapped up by Brentford, presumably as third choice and eventually to replace 60yo Richard Lee as back up.

Bonham came on against Bradford after the red card last week at 0-0 and let in four goals. Three of them were his fault. The defence have no confidence in him and he seems to have yet master the art of diving. Have a look on the BBC Sport if you can.

A one off? Or a two off if you count Watford? Not quite. He also played in goal for Brentford in the Carling Cup v Derby and let five past him.

I didnt have a Coral account until now so took advantage of the free £50 matched bet Also had a small go on over 2.5 goals at 11/1 just in case . Cant find this market on PP but the same bet is 12/5 with Boylesports.

[kaiser soze]

Treble today 3 homes. Spurs4/9 forest4/7. Leyton orient 4/6

[Flushdraw]

Any value to be had in Di Canio being the first manager sacked this season @ 3/1 with Ladbrokes? He's as low as 6/4 in places.

Was looking at their fixture list and their next 7 home games are Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Newcastle, Man City, Chelsea and Spurs. I don't think the fans have warmed to him this season and he's very outspoken about players and bringing some negativity on the club. Can't see the 3/1 getting any longer, and i can't see them picking up too many points at home any time soon, so it's up to them to look for scraps away whenever all his new signings manage to gel.

All winners except for Manchester city.... countless accumulators lost because of them. I shall never ever add them again
Only lost like €2 but it feels more like €180 lost :'(

Treble today 3 homes. Spurs4/9 forest4/7. Leyton orient 4/6

Alas some weeks it just seems so easy, and then the next week it makes u look like u don't know if its pumped or stuffed.

[Percy007]

Just home to see this I take that anyway!!!

[Guest]

Just home to see this I take that anyway!!!

For the hell of it I did the same bet as you
New account; £50 on 2 goals and £10 on 3

+the free bet

Now to mug it off in typical fashion

[mdoug]

Have a €25 free bet on one of the sites and throwing that on Reading+Monchengladbach double

have a few other accums but all have those 2 in them so if they both win I'm on a freeroll for a nice sum - will be a nice profitable Sunday ahead for me imo

[The Situation]

On the Swans -1 at 15/2 tonight. Think there's extra value opposing Pool in the handicap given the nature of how they tend to drop their heads when behind, showed a distinct lack of fight or know how to turn a deficit around last season, 6 from 9 defeats in the league last year were by greater than a goal, West Brom -1 at Anfield was 20/1+ so doesn't take many of these to click a season to make it a profitable system.

[mickste]

Think your reasoning is sound but this is a different Liverpool team to last year and much improved, they have ground out wins this season and with Swansea facing a difficult trip to Valencia on Thursday I would be cautious of the hc market. Sound be a good game and a nice return if it does come in .

Have to agree it is a much improved Liverpool side from last year but Swansea really hard place to go, I am going to have the draw at 23/10.

[The Situation]

Think they've improved but not by a great deal imo, could be wrong but they've been extremely reliable in their inconsistency in recent years and can't see a dramatic change this season.

For tonight Swansea have a full squad to pick from, expect good things from Bony now he's close to match fitness, Canas was a good signing too and added some needed grit to their cm. They didn't lose any important players either so they themselves should be stronger. Sounds a bit silly considering final score but thought that were the better team up until United's quickfire double first game of the season, and scoreline definitely flattered United.

Liverpool without Johnson tonight, surely Sturridge can't be 100% if he didn't make either of England's games, so if he isn't at full sharpness and without Luis there isn't too many others that you could rely on to chip in with the goals.

Yeah was impressed With bony very strong and will defo make chances for michu and looks to have a good brain.Swansea look a serious outfit at home even more so than last year and look as if they Could pass u to death and probably could have nicked that game lastnight.Obviously united caught them cold on first day of season,as a united fan glad to have that one out of the way.

[shanboghted]

Thinking of doing man U,man city and real scocidad treable around 7/1 any thoughts?

[conspicuous]

Personally speaking I wouldn't go near City away in Europe, especially at odds on. ManU 5/6 at home to Leverkusen looks good imo

[Thefonze]

You just put me off it! :-)

[kaiser soze]

Powers in shop special city/united 5/2. City should win but I just can't back them after last years episode.
Treble tonight:united 4/5 benfica 4/9 leyton orient 4/6.

[Flushdraw]

I know Milan have started a little shakey, but are they still worth a punt at -1 good value v Celtic tonight @ 6/4, or better still just back Milan 2-0 @ 13/2?

Are Zenit really as big a dog as 8/1 away to Atletico?

Pretty sure Marseille are going to go all guns blazing to beat Arsenal tonight in a game they'll really want to win for their Sporting Director who's son was shot 19 times last week in a gangland killing!

Who's betting what tonight?

[kaiser soze]

Yeah had a read about that Marseille shooting today shocking stuff alright, I backed an Arsenal QPR double I think Arsenal still should have to much for Marseille.On a bit of heater this last week so maybe this will be the one to end it.

[Percy007]

Im really liking the 13/10 anytime about Super Mario tonight, Celtic defence very suspect in their last Euro away game. Gonna wait to see the Chelsea line-up and decide between Lampard 13/10 and Eto'o 11/10 for the double. Deffo having a single on Ballotelli though.

[Percy007]

Went to the Powers shop and Mario was 10/11 needless to say I backed it anyway and Eto'o also.

[kaiser soze]

Treble today Watford 11/10 qpr4/5 lolerpool 1/2. it happens every year lolerpool hot favourites at home let me fuckin down. Today is the day I say it I will not be backin them for the rest of the season that is all.

[mugsy]

my last tip here northern ireland beat russia but then lost to luxembourg

so having looked at tomorrows shit im going for a bigger accum.

wincast Arsenal and Walcott . ( he is going to get a few chances should take one in the win)
cardiff draw ( no pushovers at home put spuds will happy take a point. be worried they could win so +1 maybe safer)
wincast man utd and rvp ( he will score take him anytime if your not brave enough but city got no mojo this year and wayne will be a thorn)

since its gaa final weekend id throw in dublin to do it too at -1 ( not a dub)

Now would could do worse than throw the price of a burger on that

Dont forget 1-0 to the 0-zil will be hit for profit. patience only 3rd game now

[Percy007]

City win both to score 16/5 for my interest

[Percy007]

Zing!!!

Sigh, post both of these in the last week or so and then don't either. FML

[Percy007]

Anyone with a Bwin account id advise you to take advantage of the Higuain wincast tonight at a very generous 2/1 (PP 4/7)

All aboard, sorry for short notice.

[Dice75]

Few quid on Hernandez for first scorer @ 13/2 on PP with money back if Suarez manages it.

Torres starting up front & 9/1 for FGS with PP and money back if its a draw

Edit - cmon the draw so!

On United to score over 2.5 goals 6/5, and Kagawa to score anytime at 5/2.

nice edit, thought you had lost the plot.

Ha forgot RVP was out but Nani and Kagawa should easily be regular starters.

Agree there, but Anderson shouldn't be anywhere near the team. Not sure if Buttner can defend either.

Darren bent,your up front, on your own, at home, against cardiff, get a goal mate

[bohsman]

Lazio, Liverpool and Monaco for me today.

[Jibzzzz]

Stoke Liverppol double for a bit.
Saurez first goal.
And a mug bet on Saurez hatrick.

[Percy007]

Lazio in running at 10/11

[Percy007]

2-0 up and draw 2-2

[Flushdraw]

I really am the worst in the world when it comes to betting sometimes. Besiktas have won their first 4 games of the season, scoring 11 times. They are away to MP Antalyaspor who are bottom of the league and yet to win in 5 games. Besiktas @ 11/10 looked tasty but after 60 mins, they're 2-0 down. Need an almighty comeback!

[Percy007]

Im on them also FD lol.

[Percy007]

Get the money back on Aberdeen

[Percy007]

Car crash

RVP @11/2 on PP for FGS, only 4's on Boyles (bit skimpy)

Bayer Leverkusen left it late but got my accum up 2/2 this week, just waiting to go on a nice long losing streak now.
