Title: New Year Football Post by: Josedinho on January 01, 2011, 10:43:05 AM Anyone having a bet today?
I was at Forest V Derby midweek so missed Liverpool but from the "highlights" it didn't look great so had a small bet on Bolton today. Considering Sunderland, Hull, Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: TightEnd on January 01, 2011, 10:52:45 AM Hull are a stone cold certainty. Our away form is dreadful, and the team is in flux.
Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: Maxriddles on January 01, 2011, 11:07:42 AM Hearts and Rangers double for me.
Also same teams with Man Utd & Arsenal for a fourfold. Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: Karabiner on January 01, 2011, 11:47:55 AM Anyone having a bet today?

Considering Sunderland, Hull, I saw that Ramsey played the first hour for Forest, how did he look to you? Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: Longy on January 01, 2011, 11:52:51 AM Henri Lansbury has been really good for us, fwiw Ralph. Deffo a premiership player of the future whether that is at Arsenal, probs too early to tell.

Deffo a premiership player of the future whether that is at Arsenal, probs too early to tell. Lansbury is very highly rated by Wenger and will most likely be in our first team squad next season.

I was at Forest V Derby midweek so missed Liverpool but from the "highlights" it didn't look great so had a small bet on Bolton today. Considering Sunderland, Hull, I saw that Ramsey played the first hour for Forest, how did he look to you? Forest had a few games called off due to the weather and he hasn't played as much as either Forest or Arsenal hoped I expect. Didn't have a great first half but as I say I think that is due to lack of games. Didn't show any signs that the injury was going to hold him back. He got taken out once by a Derby player and probably saw it coming but just rode the foul and took the free kick. Looked better in the 2nd half and I thought he was starting to get hold of the game when Billy Davies took him off. I suspect that was because they thought the game was won and he could go to Wenger and say "he's still not ready for 90mins, can we have him for another month?". Showed a couple of moments where you could tell he was a level above what was on the pitch. A pass or two that Forest players didn't read and you could imagine Arshavin or Walcott getting on the end of but the Forest players just looked at him as if to say "ah great idea but too good for me" Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: Karabiner on January 01, 2011, 12:35:43 PM Anyone having a bet today?

The big freeze didn't help either of us. I'm pleased to hear that he handled the challenge well as the mental side of coming back from his shawcrossing is key. Did he play centrally or on the flanks? I don't know if you noticed but he is the most naturally two-footed player that I've seen for a long time.

Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: Josedinho on January 01, 2011, 09:22:22 PM Ramsey played centrally the other night. Yeh I thought he was left footed previously and now I'm not even sure.
Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: Josedinho on January 03, 2011, 11:11:02 AM On Over 2.5 goals in the Huddersfield V Wednesday match. Could go either way and it could be a hammering as both teams like to score/can't defend.
Not feeling confident, December results were a 2-1 loss, a 6-2 win followed by a 5-1 loss. Doesn't seem to be any consitency. 3-1 Huddersfield I reckon. Title: Re: New Year Football Post by: TheChipPrince on January 03, 2011, 12:00:51 PM At Hudd now, could be exactly how you say.
