Two weeks of the premiership season gone and already some interesting developments
The very first week I watched 2 games in full( and all the highlights and match reports of the others) The first match was West Ham against Aston Villa and although West Ham sneaked through with a 1-0 win to me both sides looked absolutely dreadful with little or no goal threat and their defences all over the place .
The second was QPR v Swansea .... Swansea prevailed 5-0 away from home but this doesnt show the complete story as after they went 1 -0 up QPR applied serious pressure and where unlucky on a few attempts not to level however they eventually got caught on the break ( 4 times.) Swansea did look a well organised outfit that are going to score goals but I can also see them looking vulnerable against better teams so might be worth opposing...QPR with their new signings and money will probably do enough but look average.
So to the second weekend...based on what Id seen above I recomended opposing West Ham with the confident Swansea and they duly obliged beating The Hammers 3-0. I knew Villa had played terrible against West Ham in the first match but couldnt recomend Everton as a bet because historically Everton have struggled with any consistency. What I wasnt prepared for is how good Everton were against an abject Villa side .If anybody gets chance to watch that game in full they will see an onslaught to Villas goal by Everton and no resistance at all.The goal Villa did score was a swerving 25 yard effort but the final score could quite easily of been 8 -1
As Rich Suggested Villa had a championship side out last week
01 Given
04 Vlaar
06 Clark
32 Baker
34 Lowton
08 El Ahmadi
10 N'Zogbia
25 Bannan
31 Herd
09 Bent
23 Delfouneso
So the coming weekend...I could make a case for Fulham away at West Ham or Everton to beat West Brom but the stand out bet has to be
Newcastle to beat Villa at 4-6 at Stan James or Betfair Newcastle beat Spurs on the first day of the season and went down with a fight to an in form Chelsea, so with a fanatical 60000 Geordie home support and the very strong strike force of Ba ,Cisse and Ben Arthur they will make mincemeat of a very poor Villa side .
I make Newcastle at least a 1 - 2 shot and know this price will shorten between now and kick off on Sunday, so recomend getting on as soon as possible.
