Tips for Tikay

Not sure about that, arb. Their (defensive) system seems to have defied the basic xG models. Think Tighty wrote about this recently elsewhere.

Can't believe West Brom are 1/2 not to lose against a competent team that'll be trying.

You and Tighty might be correct.  I have no real opinion on the game.  i am simply saying why the market probably has them at 2/1.

9/4 now.  4/1 to win to nil

Sorry this is late for people to get on. Munster are -4 in the rugby today, I had them -7. It's a solid bet imo and there's some 11/10 around. Hills look to be best price if Fred wants to get on. As always on the rugby, Tighty's view would be very interesting.

Hilariously bad from Nigel but good for the bet.

You can see where I was coming from thinking we had enough to get a result.

Sorloth or Wickham to come in for Benteke asap will probably be the difference for us in future games like this.

lol, is anyone watching this? We're actually stealing money, the three worst decisions I've ever seen from a TMO, all in our favour. Murray is the best yet at 9 imo.

Hopefully they get some more, because I think a few of us are on them o/r

Thoughts on the Zebo swipe will be interesting, the fact that we were on the right side of it is irrelevant. That was penalty try and yellow card, as clear as you'd ever see. It's like he thought he was LeBron :-) (don't tell SS)

Hello,i have to be quick so can't give this the full monty however

West Brom v Burnley Saturday

WBA are 7 points adrift , kept Pardew on as there was no one to replace him with and have 8 losses and a draw in their last ten games. One league win since 19th August

Burnley are 7th, won a couple of games before the break (3-0 at west ham, 2-1 home to Everton) and not only don't concede many but are in with a serious shot at Europe and need to carry on as they are to hold off Everton and lcfc (the failure of both to have much concerted form since Xmas has kept Burnley in 7th).

Their recent results arrested a slump on now wins in 11 games from 12th Dec til March and have coincided with the return to fitness of key players,notably the back four they are likely to play is that that did so well in the early part of the season

Lowton-Tarkowski-Mee-Ward

why are Burnley very nearly 2/1 underdogs?

Good spot Tighty, shame the late goal basically wiped any profits from the outright but angle was good. Value don’t pay them bills.

More worrying is the last paragraph that looks like it was 'jobs for the boys' with both their son's on the payroll.  Results couldn't have gone better for Stoke yesterday but can they get anything from Arsenal?  It's usually the biggest write off game of the season for Stoke.

Bang under it.  Thought we would get a point today at some point.  Shaq looked fired up today and could easily have scored a couple in first half.  Rest of the team couldn't score in a brothel at the minute.
