All Football Tips w/c 26th August

Arsenal v Tottenham

A very early post as Ive heard some interesting stuff from yesterdays game. I spoke to a mate who went up yesterday and he said that there were rumours going around before the game that Eriksen and Vertonghen had a maajor falling out with Poch. Most people took it with a pinch of salt as there is the transfer issue with Eriksen and fitness issue with Jan, so it was assumed it was gossip. Now, I dont know what was shown on tv ( I couldnt watch, thank god ) but Eriksen had zero interest warming up, Jan had a black eye, Poch literally sat through the whole game and, maybe the most worrying thing, Kane refused to go and applaud the fans after the game and walked straight down the tunnel. This might not even be a major issue but moral looks low and the defence without Jan looks diabolical ( Walker-Peters is injured so there is no rb for next game, probably play an unfit Dier ). Based on that, I think Arsenal look like a great bet at home and you can still get them at 6/4. I can see there pace giving Spurs massive problems.

Arsenal to beat Spurs @ 6/4 ( always a slight risk getting on early but I can see it shortening )

Thanks Stokes. Could not find any 6/4 at my books so settled for the 29/20 at BetX. As mentioned in my pre-season outrights I suspect Poch will not make the end of this season with Spurs. Just too many clubs with too much money who could run into early season trouble and come calling - my ManU being a prime example.

Will catch some local footie after the Vuelta this evening. Have not watched Chiefs yet this season but see they have scored 5 in their three outings. Watched Cape Town play Sundowns last week and they should have had 2 or 3. Look like a good attacking side and coached by a forward. Not a bet I would normally consider on a local PL match but swayed by the odds
CT City v Chiefs
Over 2.5 match goals @ 15/10

Red Star vs Young Boys

Red Star -0.25 @2.10

Champions League

Slavia vs CFR

Slavia won the away fixture 1-0.
CFR scored in their away matches in the previous rounds, at Maccabi (2 goals) and Celtic (4 goals).
They will fight for qualification.

Bet: BTTS Yes @1.90

Two local footie matches in a week
Bloem Celtic v Sundowns
Bloem C one goal exactly @ 16/10

This evenings TV sport will be the Championship. Cardiff's two home matches have produced three goals so who am I to argue
Cardiff v Fulham
Three goals exactly @ 63/20

Good choice - made the match 2-1 Cardiff - 2-1 or 3-0 Fulham hence the 3 goal pick. ( Also they shared seven goals in the EPL last season so three looked good )

Agree Mackem. Red card and goals tend to dry up.
Just when I think ManU have run out of stupid ideas we come up with another one. Farmed out Sanchez to Inter today and Solskjaer confirms this deal with the Lukaku sale leaves ManU with a goal scoring problem - go figure.
Southampton v Man Utd
Southampton to win either half - yes @ 27/20
and a few beers have quite a good chance on
BTTS - yes and Southampton @ 6/1

Saturday acca
Rotherham
Sheffield Wed
Luton
Newcastle
Liverpool
All to win @ 23/1

Chelsea v Sheffield
Chelsea should win but their defense has not impressed and Sheff have scored in all three their matches
BTTS - yes and Chelsea win @ 43/20
Leicester v Bournemouth
Always fancy goals in this match-up and occasionally they do produce them
Match goals 4-5 @ 2/1
Newcastle v Watford
Newcastle must be confident after last week so they should sneak past pointless Watford. Steve Bruce sides do not run up big totals
Newcastle win by 1 goal exactly @ 63/20
West Ham v Norwich
Fancied the draw here especially at the 29/10 mark but seems these boards and the books expect a West Ham win. Will scale down to a few beers on
Draw 2-2 @ 10/1

Lecister
Leeds
Rotherham
Swindon
Newcastle / Watford draw

20/1

Eish Acca just missed, and was one of the shorter odds.

Liverpool over 2.5 goals @ 1.35.

Stiffs South
Burnley v Liverpool
BTTS - yes and Liverpool win @ 37/20
and a few beers on
Liverpool 3-1 @ 19/2

Liverpool overs ATM continues to pay out. Bookies just don’t learn on this one. Long may they continue.

Taking a few beers on van Dijk Mark11 across Stanley park
Everton v Wolves
ATGS Coleman @ 10/1

Arsenal v Tottenham

Can't back the Goons and both teams should go for it. 11 or more shots on target @ 6/4

Shots on target flew in. Got the Tottenham decline a bit wrong, apologies to any backers as I was strong on that. Also, great call by Mackem on the 2-2. Shame the International break has come round again.
