Tips for Tikay

I'm not sure why you are saying that Wenger is under pressure, I wouldn't have him in the top ten PL managers most under pressure.

Presumably you are referring to some of the guff that is written in the media.

he puts out a rotated team to the 4th team in the group (resting cech? really?) and loses. he didn't bring in a striker in the transfer window. he may not be under pressure with the board or those who won't hear a word said against him in cuckoo clock land, but i would suggest he's under pressure from a lot of fans. not that this pressure matters.

i quite like the look of the under tonight in the nfl

Thursday night game, not much time to prepare and game plan for this after week 1. play sunday, film monday, practice tuesday, travel wednesday for the broncos. travel back overnight sunday, film monday, practice tues and weds chiefs

denver are set up for the running game and a really good looking defense this year. have to be less reliant on manning's arm, which in his last season looks much weaker (and did though probably injury related second half of last year)

C J Anderson is questionable too, their main running back

KC arent too explosive either, though with maclin and kelce they have more points in them than last season.

they too are a strong defensive team, and justin houston will be getting in manning's face round a rookie tackle

Oh well of course he's under pressure from the usual suspects who crawl out of the woodwork every time Arsenal have a poor result, and that includes much of the media, but I wouldn't now say that he's a manager who's under pressure unless you happen to buy all of that gobbledegook.

there are 24 europa league matches tonight





liverpool go to girondins bordeaux with a much rotated team

i quote from the echo

"The Reds travelled to France without Christian Benteke, James Milner, Lucas Leiva, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne and Martin Skrtel, who have all been rested with one eye on Sunday’s Premier League clash with Norwich City at Anfield.

Captain Jordan Henderson is also absent after undergoing treatment on a heel injury in America, while Daniel Sturridge is still not ready to make his comeback."

should they be opposed to night in their current form?

Perhaps Rodgers is under the impression that Bordeaux is on the other side of the world.
Why not play full strength,perhaps they might win and instill some confidence into the team.

Looks like Ings up top , Toure and Sakho at CB.

Wouldn't be backing them tonight *




*Have no idea whether Bordeaux are playing well or not.

Wait until the experts have commented, but if no negativity, go ahead please.

I say that as some who clearly knows his NFL - I waltzed through Week One of LMS. Doubt many can say that.

Agree with that, but he'll be under pressure from himself, I'd say.

The man is a walking worryguts, watching him when a game is not going well, he puts himself though all sorts. He can't weigh 6 stone wringing wet, think he worries it off. Last night would certainly have disappointed him, & I fancy he rarely relishes all the usual Jose bad blood. Beat them though & he'll be smiling ear to ear.

Thanks for that Tighty/Alun

What about outright?

Ireland/France? I assume NZ are very good and that's why they are v short.

I don't know Rugby fwiw, just a sweat would be nice.

In before Ant,

Palace 10/3 this weekend @ spurs looks mahoosive to my ice cream eye. Spurs looked awful thus far this season, Palace the opposite, spurs playing Europa League on thursday where they are notoriously awful the fixture after it etc etc.

DNB is 2/1 also, whats the best angle if any?

I think the price is about right if we start with the same team as we did against Man City. Very odd from Pardew to start Bolasie up top by himself when he is a piss poor striker. It was a desperate attempt to play someone targetman-like up there but it was a failure. Also I think it highlights the ridiculousness of selling Murray when we did not buy a replacement target man. £5m might be all well and good, but if Wickham is out we then struggle somewhat with the link play up top.

Starting Gayle however isn't that bad. He is a potent finisher, has got better at holding up the ball and will be a nuisance to centre backs. So I want to see him or maybe Bamford in the line up before betting. Wickham himself might be back to play.

Also having Delaney and Ward out is annoying. Hangeland has a mistake in him and Kelly just doesn't look like a natural rb. Saying that if it wasn't for the McCarthy calamity in the last minute against Man City it would have been a relatively comfortable clean sheet.

Also something else to consider is away from home Palace have the one of the best, if not the best record in Europe, away, in the last 10 league games of 8 wins and 2 losses. The way I assume Tottenham will be playing will suit Palace's style of having possession and playing quite a high line for us to counter well.

Ultimately I am bemoaning that we are basically 3/1 nowadays away to Tottenham. Tis stingy. I think we were closer to ten when we first played them there in the prem and I think it was around 6/1 last year. I think the bookies are close the hitting the nail on the head here.

With Gayle/Wickham starting I think3.75 is about the right price. So value to be had at 4.3, but you need to wait until the teamsheet comes out and even then I worry about the value in the future.

A comment on City was that they were not as tough to play against for much of the game of which I saw 90 mins that I thought they would be. They were very susceptible to the cross, and for large portions of the game were not penetrative, despite a lot of possession. A lot has to be said about just how good Cabaye and McCarthur were though, and that Aguero was out for two thirds of the game, but I think the 12/1 for West Ham to win against them is value at their gaff. Especially with their away wins against Liverpool and Arsenal and Payet on fire. I think it should be closer to 8/1.

I suggest for West Ham to beat Man City £20 at 12/1 with VC. I think it is one of those that you can't go too wrong with at the price.

I read a popular Arsenal forum for interest last night, and I don't think a single poster was defending him.  Heat of the moment etc but it feels like he is exhausting his goodwill with many of the fans.

You think it is getting as bad as when Pardew was at Newcastle?

I'm an outsider so not best person to ask but the tone of the posts seemed more of a "thanks but we need to try something new" rather than the outright nastiness against Pardew.  Wenger still has lots of credit in the bank, but the extreme frustration on the forums was obvious.

Giroud doesn't seem too popular either but maybe that was just because of his idiotic red card.

I don't know Rugby fwiw, just a sweat would be nice.

Tighty may not be able to comment as his tips are on BE, and very good value they are too to be fair for such a long tournament.

NZ are hands down the best team in the world and if they play 9/10 or better they win. It's that simple. But the price is awful.

Ireland (10/1) are well fancied by a lot of people, but they looked really quite poor in their warm up games. That said they have a very talented side, a decent draw and a superb coach.

Australia (9/1) are probably the value bet for me. They have the potential to be very strong, and appear to have sorted out their weak point of the scrum. Backs are exceptional.

All that said I've lumped on England (9/2). They are a match for anyone in the world at home. If they win their group they should go all the way. But then again I'm Welsh so there is a fair bit of emotional hedge there.

Good luck whoever you choose. Betway are doing money back if New Zealand win btw. That's a superb offer.

Saw the line open at 46 now at 41.5.Love your reasoning but 41.5 seems very low to me for an unders bet but I'm not an expert by any stretch.

Not sure whether we can get on with Unibet but they're currently offering 4/6 about Wenger & Mourinho shaking hands after the Chelsea Arsenal match on Saturday. Hard to see that they won't shake hands, especially in the PL, nothing to celebrate like after the Community Shield when they didn't shake hands and given the reaction after that I don't think either manager needs anything else on their plate at the moment?

Any thoughts?

i think they'll shake hands (while looking away with a pair of curled bottom lips). simple as that really

don't think we have unibet
