Week 1 results: 1 win, 0 loss, 1 draw
Total: 1 win, 0 loss, 1 draw

Mid PK(-135) v NewC (extremely lucky draw, should have lost) 2-2
Ars -.5 (-160) @ Eve 4-1

All my wagers are done at the Palms, LV - Generally goal lines instead of money lines. ...lots of bets draw and that's fine by me..

Only one that i like today is Chelsea to beat Birmingham, it is around for 1.85 ( -116 ). Their first match against ManU wasn't
too impressive but they won 1-0. This game will show what direction Chelsky is going this year.

Good luck

Nice call on Chelsea, Pet. I saw a 1-1 draw for some reason. I think Birmingham definitely was missing Forsell.

Only picks I took were:

Liverpool -1 (they won 2-1, so the bet was a draw)
Aston Villa PK(-125) over WestBrom (we'll see....)

Nice call on Charlton, beast. Sorry about Palace and Blackburn. Hard to trust those sub-par teams.

This game will show what direction Chelsky is going this year.

Looks like their going in the RIGHT direction. They will have many shutouts this season. Hopefully the new coach won't tinker with the lineup so much. That really threw them off sometimes last year.

Wans't too impressed by chelsea, just 1-0 win with lucky own goal, they still lack that solidness that Arsenal has. Agreed about
keeping same lineup, thats the way to go.
I thought about playing chelsky that in the start of the season they get higher lines against medium teams and later i'm looking opportunity to play against them.

Forssel had fever and flu starting from last wednesday when he didn't play for Finlands national team against Romania.

Unlucky day as both Blackburn and Crystal Palace led before blowing their leads.

Todays plays

Arsenal-Middlesborough OVER 2? 1.67 (~ -149 )
Thierry Henry to score YES 2.00 8 +100 )

Middlesborough allowed and scored two goals against Newcastle week ago, Arsenal scored 4 and allowed one when winning Everton. Four goal scorers and Theirry Henry didn't score.
I hope that Middlesboroughs form isn't ready for Arsenals systematic domination with ball. As i said Thierry didn't score, but gave good passes and i think others will play a goal for him, he allso
shoots Arsenal penalties.

Good luck

1-0 +.85 so far.

Arsenal 5 - M'boro 3, shocking mistakes from Lehmann and Cygan led M'boro to take 1-3 lead early in the second period but 10 minutes later it was 4-3.... Entertaining game that gave good picture about Arsenals fire power and will to score, M'boro wasn't bad either but they run out of breth at the end. Thierry scored first and last goals of the game, now they have scored nine goals in just two games. Reyes. Henry, Pires and Bergkamp have scored twice. Defenetly OVER team as is M'boro.

Good call on that AV-WB draw Craig.

3-0 +2.52
