Week 03 Day 01

EPL Manchester United-vs-Aston Villa : Aston Villa 1-0 Win a dangerous bet.. cos villa missing Lausen and Philips... will be looking to run during live match... Blackburn Rovers-vs-Fulham : Fulham 2-1 Lost Blackburn was very disappointing last week.. and with paul dickov suspecded and a off form bellamy.. Fulham looks good for a 0.25 goal handicap...

Week 02 Day 04

EPL Arsenal-vs-Newcastle United : Arsenal 2-0 Win With MU winning... Arsenal will go for a win for this match... before their Euro match starts... they will try to win every match in the league with 100% effort.. a 3-0 win... Wigan Athletic-vs-Chelsea : Chelsea 0-1 Lose 1/2 Same reason as Arsenal... Chelsea will be gunning for a win ... and as competition for places in the starting lineup so fierce... player will give 100% to score... a 4-0 win! Italy Spain GBL VfB Stuttgart-vs-FC Koln : FC Koln 2-3 Win Stuttgart looks disjointed in attack last week.. and Trappatoni is famous for his conservative approach... a -1 goal handicap is too high for them... i go for Koln.. FSV Mainz 05-vs-Werder Bremen Europe Review Chelsea and Arsenal look really rusty... need to get back their match fitness fast.. Wigan seems to be very fit but lacks depth... will struggle mid-season... Newcastle have a strong midfield... especially Emre and Parker... they just need to get a top striker to finish their chance off.. Shearer is no longer young...

Week 02 Day 03

EPL Everton-vs-Manchester United : Manchester United 0-2 Win With Man Utd getting a good midweek Europe Result and not Everton ... there is a good chance Everton might just concentrate on the coming return leg and concede this match easily to Man Utd... Aston Villa-vs-Bolton Wanderers Really hard to pick... so no bet... Fulham-vs-Birmingham City : Draw 0-0 Win Fulham will be missing Papa Bouba Diop and have a inexperience keeper in goal.. but they still have the likes of Malbranque and Boa Morte in attack... with Birmingham parading Heskey and Forsell in attack... i am looking at a 1-1 draw... Manchester City-vs-W.B.A Portsmouth-vs-Tottenham Hotspur : Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Win Spurs is playing well in their pre-season ... while Portsmouth has been struggling to bring in a good replacement for the departed Yakubu... Sunderland-vs-Charlton Athletic : Draw 1-3 Lost I going for the draw again.. both side will be cautious not to lose rather playing to win... West Ham United-vs-Blackburn Rovers : Draw 3-1 Lost The last of my 3-legged draw... watch out for Craig Bellammy... Middlesbrough-vs-Liverpool Italy Spain GBL Bayer Leverkusen-vs-Bayern Muenchen : Bayern Muenchen 2-5 Win Bayern look impressive last week... especially their striker... a high scoring win expected..... B. Monchengladbach-vs-VfL Wolfsburg Borussia Dortmund-vs-FC Schalke 04 : Over 2.5 goal 1-2 Win Both side line up strong strike force in this derby... i expect a high scoring match.... Hertha Berlin-vs-Eintracht Frankfurt FC Kaiserslautern-vs-MSV Duisburg FC Nurnberg-vs-Hannover 96 Arminia Bielefeld-vs-Hamburger SV Europe Review Good start but ends disappointly... especially the liverpool match when Gerrard miss so many golder chance... and PSV lost to a cross goal... this 2 match wipe out all my winning of the night... Liverpool... as expected ... passing is sharper due to their earlier involvement in Euro Competition.. but their not their finishing of the nite.... Middlesboro... quite a "bochi" team... playing at home and looking for a draw... overall a well-organize team.. but with their striker coming back... must keep a close watch in the future... it will be hard to score against them if their 2 experience centre back is playing... Man U .. sign of weakness in their new formation... expecially the tracking back of their 2 supporting striker... and put lots of pressure of their own full backs.. but still... their attack play is still one of the best in EPL... Everton ... they play better than i expected... but they look really tired towards the end... they should be the team to watch out for after their Euro advantage... playing in 2 front is too big a task for a small squad... West Ham ... can attack but cannot defence... i dun look them too high.. can always try total goal over for their match... Blackburn ... very disappointing game for them... and bellamy looks unlike his oldselfs.. can bet against them in the future until bellamy found his form...

EPL Italy Spain GBL Europe Malmo Vs Thun : Thun 0-1 Won Thun impress while playing against Dynamo Kiev... i think they will carry on their good form... Brondby vs Ajax : Brondby 2-2 Draw Laudrup led Brondby will get a result against Ajax ... who's pre-season is a mess...Brondby should be more match fit than Ajax... Sporting vs Udinese : Sporting 0-1 Lost Udinese did not sign a good replacement for their influential midfielder David Pizzarro.. and they will struggle... Steaua Bucuresti vs Rosenborg : Under 2.5 goal 1-1 Won With both Steaua striker suspended and Rosenborg just sack their manager... i expect Rosenborg approach this match defensively... a low scoring game... Review Inter is very impressive... with Adriano and Pizzarro the livewire.. Liverpool continue their pre-season good form...

Tuesday, August 09, 2005

Week 02 Day 01

EPL Italy Spain GBL Europe Manchester United vs Debrecen : Debrecen 3-0 Lost Small bet on Debrecen cos Man Utd might not be match fit and not clear the handicap.. their preperation was distrupted by $$ tour at far east ... so i expect Debrecen who had played more games to give them a match... i will run total goal at 2.5 too... cos i expect Debrecen to score too... Everton vs Villareal : Over 2.25 goal 1-2 Win yes... i do know everton got problem in attack... but villareal keeper is very suspectful and they are a attacking team too... high scoring... Betis vs Monaco : Monaco 1-0 Lost simple reason... Monaco had played 2 league match and betis has yet play one... its the matter of match fitness and sharpness... Wisla vs Panathinaikos : Wisla 3-1 Win based on the odds movement... seems like lots of big punter look up on wisla... possibly kelong or just banking on panathinaikos lack of match fitness...

Week 01 Day 03

EPL Chelsea vs Arsenal : Chelsea 2-1 Win Normal bet on Chlesea... after vierra left arsenal... there is a big gap in the midfield for arsenal... and they can only rely on Henry's pace in the play now... Chelsea should control the midfield for tonite's match... Italy Spain GBL Schalke04 vs Kaiserlautern : Schalke04 2-1 Draw Small bet on Schalke ... i am quite impress by Kurayi... at most this match lose 1/2... Europe Review Chelsea play an efficient match... when Drogba strength and power is the highlight.. pther not quite 100% fit but still a very good performance by them... Arsenal still suffered the lost of vierra .. only clips of brillian from Henry.. but they are a attacking force to be reckon with... Schalke is another attacking team... but their defence is suspectful... good to bet total goal over... Kaiserlautern surprise me with their passing and movement... veteran Casten Janker played well in his deeper role... controlling and passing the ball well... as well as using his strength to hold the ball... a team to watch...
