[UEFA Cup matches - Thu 19th Oct]

Re: UEFA Cup matches - Thu 19th Oct I stated it befor I will state it now-Osasuna do not care about Uefa cup.Their main goal was CL and when they finally received this chance they wasted it in the most foolish way.I typically fancy them as they always relky on collectvie style of play but this game is doomed to DRAW.

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 If a team other than the top4 in premiership is to finish 4th that will be Aston Villa,according to me.

Re: UEFA Cup matches - Thu 19th Oct Osasuna started... come on DRAW:))))

[Champions League 17/18 October 2006]

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 Why can't bolton finish 4th??Everton did it two years ago but Liverpool replaced them as they were the European champions.Tottenham also did it but spoiled everythin on the last matches and let Arsenal replace them(actually I smell a conspiracy,based on this pattern).

[UEFA Cup matches - Thu 19th Oct]

Re: UEFA Cup matches - Thu 19th Oct Osasuna DRAW is a value.I described my logic earlier.

[Champions League 17/18 October 2006]

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 I don't let emotions guide me when betting.But emotions made my view more profound as I remember all their matches and I know them very well.Being a fan means knowing your team's behaviour more than supporting it in every situations.It is clear to me that they won't win every game.No team does(The "best" tema of the last season was Bacelona,but even they lost about 10 games.That means they are humans right.Espanyol hammered them 4-2,2-0.Valencia 1-0,Atheltico 3-1 on Kamp Nou.).But being their fan helps me recognize every detail of their style and their every infirmity.I am sure it is the same with you.Bolton are decent team I wish them finishing in top 4.

[Champions League Winner 2006/7]

Re: Champions League Winner 2006/7 TheKing I guess we are one party.I think Valencia finally foun their optimal selection and a coach.Ranieri interrupted the serie of successive CL finals but this year the participation on the final is under no questions.With a seasoned striker like Morientes(who actually scored against valencia on the first final Valencia v Real Madrid and who led Monaco to the CL final in 2004) and Ayala,Albelda,Torres,and Vicente from the previous generation and the talent and vigor of Villa,Valencia will not make the mistakes they made in the previous finals(actually the game against Bayern Munich was a gameof luck and only the unconfidentiality of valencia players at that time prevented them from winning on the penalties).I don't say it just because I am their biggest fan.I know them very well(see my posts about their game against Shachtar).I put 10 k @21 as soon as the odds were issued.Now the odds are still a value.The odds vary around 13 I think.

[UEFA Cup matches - Thu 19th Oct]

Re: UEFA Cup matches - Thu 19th Oct Osasuna play Valencia on Mestalla on Sunday so they won't play at their full potential.Primera is more important for them as their ambition was CL actually and Uefa cup was like a consolation for their elimination.Heerenveen play offensive football and Osasuna will try to close in their half to prevent losing the game.Heerenveen will eventually give up as Osasuna's strongest weapon is their deffence(That is what helped them finish 4th in the primera).Actually they were eliminated from CL without a defeat(1-1,0-0).Although Osasuna will be hammered by Valencia on Sunday,their focus is on this match rather than on Uefa cup.A DRAW seems reasonable here.

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006

Barca' were well below parr tonight! their get up and go has got up and gone - if you ask me! that's all tonights profits wiped out! - ah well!

TOP 3(The teams I hate most) ----------------------------- 1.Barcelona 2.Juventus(I was very happy to learn that they were isolated from the football elite) 3.Manchester United Although my extensive analysis (in which I was trying not to include my bias toward Chelsea) screwed up I am happy to learn that they got the 3 pts.Ronaldinho is the most overrated player in history of football(and it is the player I hate most for his magic trick have no pragmatic value and actually sometimes have a negative impact on the team's performance as many team's score after Ronaldinho's spoiled attempt for a trick.

[Champions League 17/18 October 2006]

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 I admit my yesterday's predictions were subjective cause the teams I hate most are MIlan and Man utd so I hoped they finally lose a game.BUt when it comes to my three favorite teams I am in no doubt about the scenario TOP 3 1.Valencia 2.LIverpool 3.INter (Roma are on their way to enter my top list and I plan to extend it to top 5 including Zaragoza as former Valencia's player Aimar plays there)

[Champions League 17/18 October 2006]

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 Prediction Valencia will win 3-0(I guess I overestimated Juaquin) David Villa will score two(flawless prediction) Red card in the game(flawless prediction) There is no bigger fan than me.Go Valencia Go.I will support you to the final as I always do

[Champions League 17/18 October 2006]

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006

great write up for Chelsea v Barca :ok btw, how can you be so sure Valencia will win 3-0? Why not 2-0 or 4-0? :\

I've been their fan since 7 -year-old.(now I am 20).My mind is a huge database for their behavior toward different teams in different situations.David Villa will score two(probably there will be a penalty as our Ukranian mates are not very friendly) and I think that Joaquin will finally score for his new team.Red card for Shachtar is a good value as it is their last chance and when the goals start pouring their team will get more aggressive.Referees typically watch over Morientes so hispersonal keeper is most likely to be sent off as Morientes is a favorite player(remember how many absurd penalties were given to Spanish national team and Athletico because of another such player Torres).I am not saying that Morientes will feign like Torres but he is a popular striker and referees keep an eye on the defenders' behavior toward his actions.While David Villa is not worse than Fernando,he is younger and referees still don't expect him to cause opponent's unallowed reactions.Plus we all know what Morientes did in CL with his former teams Real M and Monaco.So ucranians will be extra cautious(and respectively aggressive) with him.

[Champions League 17/18 October 2006]

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 Barcelona-Chelsea extensive analysis ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ We all remember their last two meetings in CL.THe first battle was won by Chelsea.The second was won by a mishap(the goal that sent Barcelona to quarter finals was John Terry's own goal).A question arises -What if Bracelona don't possess this luck anymore and mishaps do not occur. Second,Gudjonsen made his way to world-class soccer in Chelsea(He was a part from the old generation).If it weren't Chelsea's coach and directors he would probably be an alcoholic in a local pub.The most sentimental moments in his life,and respectively in his career,belong to Chelsea.Having in mind Eto'o's injury he will certainly be Reacard's main weapon,but sentiments will preclude him from showing his full potential. Third,Chelsea have some problems with their goalkeepers.Hilario will be the goalkeeper for Chelsea tonight.History shows that new goalkeepers tend to perform better in such games in order to show the coach that they deserve a place in the squad.What if this Hilario is not hilarious at all and shows a talent.Also,Drogba said that the goalkeepers' injuries is an extra motivation for their team to hammer Bracelona.But there is one thing we know for sure-even if Hilario performs well Mourinho doesn't know about his probable behaviour in advance so he will resort to more defensive style.And actually the draw is satisfying for them on the background of the current problems in the club and their current standing in the group. Bracelona won their first game and drew against Werder.That doesn't automatically mean that they don't have a chance,but they will try to delay the culmination of the battle for Kamp Nou,having in mind the emotional link between Gudjonsen and his former colleagues and the unseasoned Saviolla.If pressed by Chelsea(as they will be) they will close in their own half and produce fewer scoring situations but will eventually keep the draw. Taking into account all these factors a DRAW seems to be the most plausible outcome.Correct score 0-0. -------------------------------------------------------------------- p.s. Valencia will win tonight but the price is too low.However,if you want to make money on this game Valencia will win 3-0.

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006

No' date=' actually German football is the best. Proof? Watch Werder spank Levski 6:0 tomorrow after Barca managed 5:0 and Chelsea 3:1 ;)[/quote'] You are right.As I live in Bulgaria I know a lot about bulgarian football's quality.I agree Levski will be hammered tomorrow I am thinking of putting all my bank on Werder as 1.22 is a huge gift from bookies.

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006

I think you have gone too far with your agressiveness and arrogance just because you won something sometime with Liverpool while others didn't. Please stop this premature commenting job. I would appreciate your comments if you make profits and share your views BEFORE the matches so that others can win as well.

See my tips about Manchester UTD-FCK Steaua-Real Madrid If you all want to win as well

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006

ok, enough with this, you are really acting like Nostradamus now :lol interesting reasoning for Man Utd game :ok , but all of us would apreciate if you could give us reasoning for 1-0 exact score in Steaua v Real match.

Romanians are a well qualified team with high expectations from European tournaments this season.All of you know their last year's performance in UEFA cup.All their games relied on aggressiveness from the first minute.However,years have proven that no matter the current form of a fromal CL winner,traditions in the tournament play a major role and such clubs tend to get what they want no matter the cost.Fabio Capello's approach is very pragmatical with less emphasis on beauty and more stress on the points.Juventus's stadium was always half empty last season even when they played CL matches due to this fact.Taking into account that the game is played in Romania Capello will be even more cautious having seen Steaua's previous games.However,if Real lose points in Romania they face the challenge of beating Lyon in order to qualify for the knock-out stages.So I expect an early goal and a VERY boring second half.That means Steaua-Real Madrid 0-1. Hope you are all contend now with this analysis.Real M backers good luck!:ok

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 I don't know when will people realize that english football=rubbish spanish & italian football=world-class football the only exception from the above equalities are liverpool partly because currently it is mostly constituted of spanish players

Re: Champions League 17/18 October 2006 ADYTHOM ---------- ANOTHER TIP-anderlecht-ac milan-anderlecht. FC copenhagen play typical scandinavian football and if you check the statisticks it is just the football Brits fear.Also Man utd are not top-class team as most bookies estimate.Last year they were rubbish(since 1999 they have shown nothing).Plus this is the last chance for copenhagen(who actually have a decent squad and play AS A TEAM) to reach the knock-out stages.As illogical as Besiktas win in Stamford Bridge two years ago,this match will surprise many of you.I personally put 1k @ 15.00.I don't urge you to do the same but you will be surprised tomorrow. Another of nostradamus' predictions is valencia wins the champion's league. ADYTHOM my friend I may be a Nostradamus but 2005 I won big money on Liverpool and other punters like you lost their fortune on AC Milan.So we shall watch the game tonight and decide who is better after the last whistle
