This weekend's football...

[Maxriddles]

Two lays picked so far Hibs & Blackburn.

[Ironside]

keith should be too strong for city, afiak city are struggling in a much weaker league, keith all thought not the best are a reasonable highland league side. saying that i have been in bed since bB8 so havent heard who is playing weel and who isnt in the highland league this year.

oh i have to agree about hull i pointed that out on the midweek bookie basher thread

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Just had the lot on a treble for the weekend..

Reading tomorrow, and Tenessee -3, Miami -3.5 (On Sunday NFL).

[Horneris]

3 decent fancies, 1 small fancy:

Tottenham away at Villa @ 3.05.
I made Spurs slight underdogs @ like 2.7, 3.05 is too big, although it does scare me that Ironside is also on.
Spurs draw no bet looks tempting @ 2.2, will decide between that and the win bet.

Stockport at home to Torquay @ 2.06.
2nd from bottom in League One take on 3rd from bottom in League Two. Ive seen both teams on TV this season and Stockport should have too much at home for Torquay, and Nicholas Bignall is expected to make his return from injury, a striker who i rate a little bit. Stockport are in terrible form, but Torquay are a bad bad team and i rate Stockport value. I made them 1.84.

Bristol City at home to Sheff Utd @ 2.34.
Bristol Citys home form reads, played 8, won 5, drawn 3. They come up against a Sheff Utd side who were very lucky to scrape a 1-0 home victory against basement boys Peterborough last week and before that had not won in 8 games. They have a couple of players back from injury, and have made a couple of average loan signings. I made City just about evens. Strong side at home, very strong.

Treble plays 12.4/1 with 365, 12.2/1 with WillHill.

The slight fancy is:

Scunthorpe at home to Leicester @ 3.55.
Ive been backing Leicester all season away from home and i rate them hard to beat for sure, but Scunthorpe have got 0 injuries now with Hayes and Hooper returning to lead the line last week, and despite losing 3-0 and 4-1 in recent weeks away, with the home scalps of Newcastle, Sheff Utd and Preston this season already in the bag, coupled with the fact that Leicester last week struggled to break down a poor Plymouth side last week, eventually netting the 1-0 winner in the 94th minute, i made Scunny more like 3.1 shots.

Thoughts Tighty/Pelham??

4 folds pays like 42/1 so gotta have a few quid on that aswell, gogo.

[Longy]

Like the Stockport and Bristol City bets, unsure about the other 2.

I think you have summed it up well mate. We are tough to beat and i will be disappointed if we lose, but 3.55 is a decent price. I wont be joining you though!

Regarding Bristol City: my mate is a Sheff Utd season ticket holder and he has opened his latest blog post with the following line...

"Bristol City: get on and get on fast."

[mondatoo]

Nobody think the fulham game is good value,FML

Could find a better bet than rangers just fancied that at the time

Put another £10 on it,plz let me freeroll today so plz let me get out for the week

[The Camel]

Most value bets I've seen on a Saturday's football for ages.

Lay Man Utd @ 1.39
Lay West Ham @ 1.83
Back Bristol City @ 2.5
Back Scunthorpe @ 3.7
Back Peterbrough @ 3.55

Think I like Peterbrough the most. Middlesbrough aren't 2.24 to beat anyone at home, let alone away imo.

[TightEnd]

Bristol City great bet. Sheff U don't have a strong squad, witness recent loan signings, and Blackwell is on his way soon I think


Fulham yes, but I don't think tis value as such, pretty well reflected by the price.


Scunthorpe have never beaten Leicester, strange but true.

I think a low scoring draw is likely, though Hooper and Hayes their best players do make them a much better team



Personally don't like Spurs much at Villa and fancy a random punt on Wigan at best price 7/4 to beat Sunderland

[The Baron]

Wigan are defo the EPL value. Liverpool at Goodison is also a good bet imo.

[anthonyl]

Rushden to win at brighton

[The Baron]

Real Madrid @ 4.6? Have I missed something?

With Ronaldo back from injury this is just daft.

[bobby1]

Sheff Utd are in poor form and will play the usual 11 6 foot 4 slow 15 stoners all over the park, we might aswell stick Geoff Capes in there too.

Ive bet Hull at 9/1 draw no bet

Spartans at 14/5

Edinburgh City at 2/1

had a sneaky 27 correct score trebles too

Spartans 2-1 3-1 3-2
Edinburgh City 2-0,2-1,3-1
Hull 2-2,2-1,3-2

Will need the wheelbarrow if that wins ;o)

gl all

[Horneris]

My mate fancies Wigan big time and hes pretty shrood.

I personally dont have the balls required to back a team that lost 9-1 last week but i should probs grow a pair, i can see them winning.
