Back in the UK for a few weeks, in november and thankfully it coincides with this! First trip to DTD in over a year 

8/5 on stoke gone, now only around 6/4- 7/5 mark which is around what I think it correct, perhaps some thin value in 7/5. Would take anything above 7/5

Just had a quick glance at the prices for this weeks PL games. I believe Stoke at 8/5 with victors or Sportingbet is too a little bit too big.

We've had a slow start to the season, only picking up our first win at the weekend against sunderland, but we've not been as terrible as results suggest. The past few games we've looked very positive, beating sunderland at home, drawing away at old trafford and drawing at home to west brom due to a 90th minute concession. Our defence looks a lot more solid now than the first couple of games, with Shawcross and Martins Indi starting to form a good CB partnership. Also our back up keeper Grant looks a lot safer than shaky Shay Given. Going forward we're looking more threatening than before, still nothing special but it should be enough to put 1 or two past Hull, who have begun to look as bad as people predicted they would be before the season begun, highlighted by a 6-1 thumping to Bournemouth last time out.

I know fred can't get on with betvictor but if it's wanted I can put a bit on if needed.

Bit of a longshot but here goes. Will anybody here be able to buy 3-4 tickets for the west ham away game on November 5th? They're currently on sale to season ticket holders only and are selling pretty fast. I'm currently in Australia but am spending a few weeks back in England from the start of november, and would be gutted if I can't get any tickets for this one due to a sell out. Will obviously ship the money plus a bit extra to buy yourself some beers with for the effort.

Not expecting anything but who knows? Thanks guys! UTMP

We'll be fine. Doubtful we'll get 9th again if we've started this poorly but we'll be fine, especially when we have a fully fit squad. We were much better this weekend compared to previous weeks, undone by a late tony pulis speciality set piece goal.

It's hard to know where it's gone wrong for us (Stoke) since last season. Injuries to key players in the last 12-18 months hasn't helped, players such as shawcross, Bojan and Affelay who were in fine form before both requiring surgery and coming back a shell of their former selves, and now more recent injuries such as for Butland, Johnson and Shaqiri. But I still don't think this can explain why we've been so awful. I don't believe Hughes knows how to set up a defence, how the relationship between your centre backs is vital, how your keeper interacts with those infront of them etc. He seems to throw a different back 4 together each week in the hope that magically it will all come together. At least last season going forward we could mask the problems at the back. This season we offer nothing; no creativity, no urge to get forward, no idea. We've been crying out for some pace and flair on the wing in shaqiri's absence, and the young Egyptian lad Sobhi seems to be a suitable temporary replacement, yet Hughes chooses Jonny Walters ahead of him. I won't even start on shay given, how he's starting is beyond me, our youth keeper would be a better option between the sticks.

It's a very frustrating time, given our platform to build on from last season. I'm also not sure Hughes is set for the axe for at least a couple of months. Peter Coates always have time to Pulis when he was under a lot of pressure, I can't see why it's any different here. I don't want to use the term "too good to go down" but things need to pick up sharpish, or we could have Shaqiri playing Burton away next season!

You've got to think he has the potential to become one of England's great keepers. Hopefully this injury is only temporary and doesn't hold his career back!

Peter crouch has just been named in the starting XI against Everton this afternoon after scoring a hat trick mid week. He's been priced at 11/1 first goalscorer with Victors and 4/1 anytime goalscorer with Fred. Worth a small poke?

I wouldn't be backing the Diouf top scorer market. We've openly been trying to sign a striker this window and it seems (I hope!) only a matter of time before we do bring somebody in. Diouf is very capable of netting around 15 a season if he's given a full season played as an out and striker, which he hasn't before. I'm not sure Hughes has 100% confidence in him as a first choice striker.

Perhaps it's one to consider when the transfer window closes, but until then I'd say no bet.

How much will Rashford be used this upcoming season? The lads obviously a talent and has the potential to bang in goals. If he is going to be in and around the starting eleven then 50/1 top PL scorer could provide a nice sweat?

Opinions from united fans who know more about their side would help.

With all the huge issues at Hull so close to the new season, is 8/11 value on them to go down? Barring some major changes I can't see them clearing 30 points.

Like Jonathan obika at 66s with bet Fred win only suggest 20 quid

Simple really very nearly 1 in 2 career appearances still young enough to be improving and more importantly looks to be the main man for Swindon this season.

Swindon don't look as strong but neither does the league and they show no sign of not playing in their usual attacking style.

talking of top scorers, I see PP are doing e/w top 6 for the Premier League....any fancies?

Think I will have a little loyalty season sweat e/w on Callum Wilson at 66/1. He's back to full fitness after missing most of last season, and will be/still is the no.1 striker for B'mouth.

Mahrez and KDB immediately stick out for me at 66s.

Andre Ayew of Swansea @ 150/1 is currently their main striker, although they may still get someone in. That would be outstanding if it remains the same as he scored 12 league goals last year.
SimilarlyDiafra Sahko @ 100/1 is about to move to Stoke.

Sakho is about to move to west brom, no talks of him going to stoke as far as I know.
