Tips for Tikay

Good shout generally thinking Palace were value at 12/1. I was surprised to see City lacking potency and our rearguard performing a lot better than expected.

I thought Zaha dived a bit for that pen so the miss is fair, but I've only seen it once live.

De Bruyne should have done better with that cut back too.

I'm hearing Puncheon's challenge is a disgrace?

[DropTheHammer]

I thought it was a penno. Anyway, some poetic justice since Sterling was the shover, and never fails to go down at any opportunity. Shame it was missed.

Hi blondes.

Stoke are away at Chelsea this weekend, and go into the game with a few injury concerns at the back; Shawcross, Martins-Indi & Pieters all "doubtful", the young lad Tom Edwards picked up a knock and Zouma isn't eligible to play against his parent club. Alongside these issues our defence has been pretty shocking all season/ year, conceding the most goals out of any PL team all campaign. We've only played 2 of the "big" teams away from home this season and have been smashed in both of these, 7-2 away at Man city and 5-1 away at spurs. Chuck this in with a 4-0 loss when we played Chelsea at home and it points you in the direction of a spanking for our lads this weekend.

I'm not sure the best way to approach this, whether it be from a total Chelsea goals standpoint or handicap market. I've linked the oddchecker for the handicap results below. I really like the 4/1 offered on Chelsea -3 with Betfair. I'd recommend £20 if Fred could get on at this price. I would help but can't access Betfair from overseas.

Just to add to this, Glen Johnson is also is also unavailable.

great spot 

seconded well done.

Palace likely to rest a few players tomorrow with half an eye on Southampton later in week? That's the noises I've heard but you might know differently.

Think a full strength Palace could be decent value at 12s vs us....

We often do well when the pressure is off at home against a much superior team. But yep we are probably resting a few.

Even if we aren't I just look at City and think they'll demolish us, so I'm happy to leave alone.

I worry about Palace. We play the 4-4-2 which some of you may have saw completely negate Loftus Cheek and imo frustrate Zaha for large swathes of the Arsenal game. If Hodgson persists with it I see us never really comfortably winning any "winnable" game and he's only likely to buy in January for the 4-4-2 system and that may not work. Grrr.

I think most Palace fans want the 4-5-1 but they have to respect the job Hodgson as done as a whole, so a weird quandary. Without desperately lucky results against Watford and Stoke our season would look a lot different. However if he keeps us up then I don't mind but it's frustrating as hell to watch us currently.

I’m not sure what more you expect than 1 defeat in 10 premier matches, for a bottom half team that is an amazing run and totally justifies the formation being played.
Hodgson gets it spot on in every game imo and if he doesn’t think Loftus Cheek is good enough to play central mid than I bow to his opinion.

NFL Week 17 line moves since opening

49ers (+6.5 to -4)!!
Browns (+14 to +6) Steelers resting Bell and Ben
Colts (pk to -5.5)
Cowboys (+1 to -3)

We expected changes in the Rams v Niners game, but the Rams have changed everything but their uniforms:

Some great names there and to 95% of the public, these could have been made up by the people who did International Superstar Soccer on the SNES:



(For the non-gamers ITT, there was a licencing issue and so they had to make up plausible sounding player names for each team). This was in 1994.

Allejo was an absolute boss. Would be worth £500m today.

We have one outstanding position on the NFL divisional markets tonight: Carolina Panthers to win the NFC South £30 @ 3.7.

The division looks like this with one match left (tonight):

New Orleans W11 L4
Carolina W11 L4
Atlanta W9 L6
Tampa Bay W4 L11

New Orleans have the tie break on Carolina, because of their head to head record. This means the Panthers must better the Saints' result tonight.

Carolina play in Atlanta and are 4 point underdogs.
New Orleans play in Tampa Bay and are 6 point favourites.

Not ideal...

Worse still, Atlanta have to win to secure a playoff berth of their own, ahead of Seattle. Tampa are firing their head coach and doubtless a few others behind the scenes on Monday.

The Saints have been a surprise package this year. I would have taken 11 wins out of 15 very happily when I proposed this bet.

Donations of "One Time" shouts from the rail most welcome.

Tampa Bay lead 20-17.

Carolina 7-13 down.

We have a sweat

Tampa Bay win with a last minute touchdown.

Carolina sadly lose, meaning both teams lost, so it's as you were.

All the key games kicked off at the same time and it's swung back and forth for the last 3 hours. Absolutely enthralling TV.

Now come on the Bengals! Do me a favour, please.
