Lovely Pompey!

Pompey deserve everything positive that they can get right now and I don't think anyone can say otherwise after the way the club has been handled and the way that the players and fans have responded.

How or why somebody offered up 29/1 for Portsmouth to win in extra time I will never understand...Pompey had plenty of decent chances even before they scored and for most of the game it looked pretty even...

ยท

So Pompey, who were backed at around 500/1 for a tenner to win the FA Cup, find themselves in the final....again. Fairlytale stuff from the South Coast. Chelsea will pose a different challenge though and Pompey's record against the Blues is frankly abysmal. Still, miracles have happened...and either way it will be another deserved day out for Pompey's superb fans.

Champions League

I didn't 'dip in' to the Bayern v United game in the end. My last thoughts on the previous post are the thoughts that stayed with me and I decided not to bet - disappointing really because one should not bet 'hunches' even if in this case my fears did come to fruition - then again Utd. may have held on had Rooney not been injured.

Couldn't help but lay Arsenal early on in the Barcelona game and had a nervous last quarter as the Gunners piled on the pressure - a real credit to them. At 2 - 0 up Barca were traded at 1.04! What a lay that would have been...

Good luck over the weekend.

Bayern Munich vs Man Utd.

I love Utd. tonight for the win - they have been treating the first leg of Champions League games as 'must win' second legs of late and their attacking attitude reflects their style of play in the Premier League - so there is no reason to think that they will change things tonight.

Rooney and Ferdinand are fit while Bayern look like they will be without Arjen Robben. Add to that the fact the German side have not played well recently while Man Utd. have been on fire and the 6/4 available on Betfair looks generous indeed.

Bayern were also fortunate to get through against Fiorentina with a tie winning goal that should have been ruled offside.

In Bayern's favour ?

Well it's a home tie in a fantastic futuristic arena - the Allianz Stadium - I am not sure that that will be enough though.

Some are saying that Rooney is carrying the team - but I am not sure I buy that. He has been scoring all the goals but the supply has to come from somewhere!

The other thing I kind of worry about as a bettor is 'streaks' and it could be that the Red Devils are due a 'loss' or are soon to be on the end of an upset. That will probably come at the weekend against Chelsea!

Odds:
Man Utd. Win: 2.46.
Scoreline 1-2: 10.0

Good luck.

Weekend In Play Odds on Betfair...

Blogger is no longer allowing FTP hosting - if all goes well this blog will simply transfer to the new 'set up' and I will continue as normal. If it all goes horribly wrong - this blog won't be here after May 1 :(

Anyway -

Manchester Utd. did the usual at home with a 3-0 win to leapfrog them back to the top of the Premier Leauge. United had drifted to 1.42 on Betfair going in at half-time. In the second half there wasn't really any time to take stock as goals went flying in. Some backers picked up prices of around 70/1 for the 3-0 final score!


Fulham's recent Europa League opposition, Juventus, were on the wrong end of an incredible comeback. Juventus were 3-0 up at home to seemingly 'hopeless' Siena and were matched at Betfair's minimum price of 1.01 - with the draw at about 160.00 - when three goals from the away team then left Juve fans and players in shock. Juventus were 3-0 up in the first 10 minutes of the game which gave Siena time enough, but it was still a miraculous comeback for them away from home.


Another big comeback came from Birmingham City who were 2-0 down at home to Everton. The Toffees were just 1.09 to win before Birmingham found their feet and scored twice to end the game level.


Manchester City's visit to Sunderland ended in a draw. Sunderland scored early but made the mistake of sitting on their lead but did well enough trading as low as 1.13 - but City equalised through Adam Johnson to grab a point.


Bolton took a huge step towards safety by hammering Wigan.

Chelsea were as high as 1.55 to beat West Ham after a Hammers equaliser took the game to 1-1, not great odds! But it ended up thoroughly reflective of Chelsea's eventual dominance as the Blues put another three past their London rivals for a 4-1 final score.

Scrap the Offside Rule in Football?

Sepp Blatter has recently been analysing hockey and how they got rid of their offside rule - amid rumours that football could follow suit.

Imagine, no offside, what would the effect be? Would teams load up the penalty area when in possession and play a long ball game? Would pace be sacrificed for strength? Would the effect be negligible but a lot less complicated for referees?

Hockey abolished its offside rule in 1998 and it has had a positive effect on the game.

I really believe that it will go one day - I think I even heard that great sage of football, Andy Gray, once saying that the rule should be scrapped.

Roll on a trial.

It will be interesting to see if this rule is ever abolished. It would certainly be a turning point in football history.

Everton Do It Again..

Well those of you who thought Everton could pull off another remarkable comeback against Manchester Utd. as they did against Chelsea a few weeks ago, could have got odds of 22.0 on an Everton win and around 150.0 for the 3-1 score line.


Not sure that the 22.0 was that generous actually but I did not see the game so can't really comment. It puts Chelsea in a strong position with eleven games to go until the end of the season - as they took advantage at Wolves.


I think Chelsea have much the harder run-in though, so the league positions could well change again.

Champions League

Happy with the results last night. I layed AC Milan for my seventh consecutive in running football profit. Basically I do nothing more than to watch a game and take a view as to which team is getting on top or looks less likely to win - obvious really - but your judgement needs to be right!

Manchester United were matched at odds as high as 9.0 on Betfair last night - don't forget they went down to a fortuitous deflected goal. I just couldn't bring myself to take that price as they were looking a little shaky at that point.

You could have picked up odds of 65 for a 2-3 score-line! So much for it being a cautious game.


In the top scorer market, Wayne Rooney has had his odds cut to 9.0 after being matched as high as 75.0.


In the other game Real Madrid are still strong favourites to turn the tie around. I for one won't be backing them at 1.6 to win the return leg.
