[NFL Week 7]

Re: NFL Week 7 Arizona Cardinals Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Selection: Pittsburgh - 6.5 @ 2.29 Centrebet Stake: 9/10 This bet really jumped out to me in this weekends NFL fixture list as being good value. I really don't rate the 1-4 Cardinals and feel that the 4-2 Steelers should win this clash by at least a touchdown. The Cardinals behind QB Kevin Kolb are coming off a bye week but lost miserably last time out to the lowly Minnesota Vikings (1-5) 34-10. Kolb threw 2 interceptions in that game and was benched with a QB rating of 46.9. Other than star receiver Larry Fitzgerald the Arizona Cardinals do not have that many offensive weapons. Running back Beanie Wells is being projected as potentially having a good game but I think the Steelers defence will be able to shut him down. Arizona's stats for the year are: 16th in passing, 21st in rushing, 20th in opponents passing, and 20th in opponents rushing. The Steelers are coming off a subdued 17-13 against Jacksonville where they failed to beat the handicap. After rushing to 17-0 lead the Steelers took their foot off the gas and they ended up just scraping through with the victory. A potential reason for this is that QB Ben Roethlisberger was carrying a foot injury into the game and was not was not fully healthy. The Pittsburgh offense has have the both ability to pass and run the ball with RB Rashard Mendenhall putting up some good numbers this year. The best part of the Pittsburgh game however is their notorious defense which is one of the best in the NFL. Pittsburgh numbers for the year are: 12th in passing, 11th in rushing, 1st in opponents passing, and 15th in opponents rushing. With Pittsburgh being the better team and having more to play for I see them winning this game comfortably by at least a TD. Good luck :hope

[England » Barclays Premier League » Oct 22/23]

Re: England » Barclays Premier League » Oct 22/23 Liverpool Vs. Norwich City Selection: Norwich City +1.5 @ 2.04 Pinnacle Stake: 8/10 As has previously been mentioned by AIDYMAC and H1 I too think Liverpool are looking short this weekend and will be backing Norwich on the handicap. Norwich have been a solid outfit so far this season and gave Chelsea a fright in the season opener at Stamford Bridge before going down 3-1 after having their keeper sent off. Norwich also were unlucky to lose by a couple when they missed some good chances against Man Utd at Old Trafford. These are the only 2 losses where Norwich have gone down by a 2 goal margin in this season's EPL. The Canaries are coming off a convincing 3-1 over Swansea and I think they geninuely will believe they can get something out of this game. Liverpool are certainly a better team then they were last season but I think there has been an overreaction in the market after they were the marginally better team against Man Utd last weekend. In my opinion Man Utd fielded a weakened team and did not look sharp against Liverpool. Steven Gerrard's return may have boosted spirits among Liverpool fans but I don't think he automatically comes in and becomes a match winner. His free kick goal against Man Utd was actually very poor and Stevie G even admitted that he was trying to lift it over the wall not put it through. Liverpool have yet to beat any team by more than a couple this season and are 2-2-1 in recent form in the EPL. Last season Liverpool struggled greatly against the newly promoted teams going 2-4! Another factor for me wanting to take Norwich on the handicap is the fact Liverpool played a midweek friendly against Rangers. Now admittedly this was mostly a B team fielded but I really don't understand why Liverpool are playing friendlies during the regular season. If Liverpool have taken their eye off the ball then I hope Norwich under the excellent leadership of Paul Lambert will be able to capitalize. Norwich to give Liverpool a real fight, good luck. :hope

[England » Barclays Premier League » Oct 22/23]

Re: England » Barclays Premier League » Oct 22/23 Blackburn Rovers Vs. Tottenham Hotspurs Selection: Tottenham Hotspurs @ 1.95 Stan James Stake: 9/10 I fancy Tottenham to take all 3 points this weekend against Blackburn and at odds of 1.95 I will be taking Stan James on. The odds for the Tottenham victory have been dropping so I have decided to put my money on before the value drops out of this bet. I would have expected the odds for the away win to be closer to 1.85 and the market seems to be pushing the price towards that line. Tottenham have one of the best starting XI's in the Premiership and are playing well. They are in good form going 4-0-1 in their last 5 EPL games. I watched their performance last weekend away at Newcastle and while they only came away with a 2-2 draw I feel that both teams played very well. Tottenham were also in action this Thursday in the Europa league but fielded a B team so I don't think fatigue will be a problem come Sunday. The only real negative for Spurs at the moment is their defensive worries with King, Gallas, Dawson, and Corluka all set to miss out. Harry Redknap may have to play a midfielder in defense but I don't think it will be a huge issue. Blackburn have really struggled this season and on current evaluation I think they are set for the drop this year. They were able to muster a determined draw last weekend with a 1-1 draw at QPR but were also tonked the week before 4-0 by Man City at home. The week before that they lost 3-1 at Newcastle who Spurs were able to draw 2-2 with. While Blackburn may traditionally have been tough to beat at home I think the tide may have turned. The home advantage for Blackburn may be nullified by a fan protest of Steve Keen's reign as manager. While the players have publicly given their backing of the manager I feel that confidence after recent results (1-2-2 EPL) must be low. With odds close to evens I think the away win looks promising. Good luck :hope

[Champions League > Wednesday 19th October]

Re: Champions League > Wednesday 19th October Hmmm looked through all of Wednesday's CL fixtures and there's nothing that takes my fancy. Looks like a tough night of football to predict. Good luck to those who do take the plunge. :hope

[Champions League > Tuesday 18th October]

Re: Champions League > Tuesday 18th October Very disappointing night for me with both bets losing. :cryI watched the Basle game and while both teams wanted to get forward only Benfica was able create the clear cut chances. If some of the half chances were taking by either team then it was possible for overs but ultimately 2-0 to Benfica was a pretty fair result. Took a look at the highlights of the Madrid game and reviewed the stats after the game. What is clear is that Lyon got what they deserved, a real thumping (pun intended)! If Madrid play like that when it really matters in the knockout stages then they are going to be a really hard outfit to beat. Anyways congrats to those who did make good on their bets tonight. :clap

[Champions League > Tuesday 18th October]

Re: Champions League > Tuesday 18th October Basel Vs. Benfica Selection: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.80 Stan James Stake: 8/10 I really like the look of overs in this match as both teams are attack minded and will be gunning for a victory. Basel nearly caused a big upset last time out in the CL when they drew 3-3 with Man Utd. Their other game in the CL finished in overs as well with a 2-1 victory over Otelul Galati. In the domestic league Basel have been ripping teams apart with 4/5 of their last games finishing in overs with an average of 3.6 goals per game. Despite this Benfica come into this game as favorites given the superiority of the Portuguese league. Benfica have drawn 1-1 with Man Utd and won 1-0 against Otelul Galati in this years CL group stages. Their domestic games have been much higher scoring affairs with their last 4/5 finishing in overs with an average of 3.8 goals per game. With the favourite Man Utd drawing their first 2 games group C is wide open. I see both teams being eager to secure 3 points to propel themselves towards group qualification. Good luck :hope

[Champions League > Tuesday 18th October]

Re: Champions League > Tuesday 18th October Real Madrid Vs. Olympique Lyon Selection: Under 3.25 Goals @ 1.90 Pinnacle Stake: 8/10 The market has priced this game as an extremely high scoring match. So high scoring infact that I think the value now lies in backing unders. Real Madrid are in a rich vein of form domestically and unquestionable have the talent to net a fistful of goals. Higuain has been especially hot scoring a hat-trick in 3 of his last 4 games. With that being said their performance in the Champions league has been slightly subdued. Madrids last 2 CL games have been 3-0 and 1-0 wins against Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb. I rate Lyon as being better than both of those teams so I don't think they will be a pushover tonight at the Bernabeu. Lyon's CL games have both ended in unders with a 2-0 over DZ and 0-0 against Ajax away. I believe Remi Garde will set his team out to try and stifle Real Madrid's midfield creativity. With Lyon only looking for a point I believe the 3.25 goal line offers enough value to take in on @ 1.90. Good luck :hope

[NFL Week 6]

Re: NFL Week 6 New York Jets 24 - 6 Miami Dolphins This was a strange game indeed. The Dolphins could have been up big in the first quarter where they were in the redzone 3 times against the Jets. Instead of taking a big lead though Miami ended up with 2 field goals and throwing an interception returned for a touchdown by Revis. Feel a bit sorry for Matt Moore the Dolphins QB because the pick 6 could have easily been called as pass interference. On the other side of the ball the Jets offense started off atrociously going 3 and out 4 times in a row first quarter. Second half though was all Jets with the Miami team crumbling. Sanchez came up with some nice throws and Miami had nothing going the other way. Overall very happy that the bet won after a shaky start. :cigar

[NFL Week 6]

Re: NFL Week 6 New York Jets Vs. Miami Dolphins Selection: New York Jets -7 @ 2.00 Boylesports Stake: 9/10 Tonight's Monday night football consists of two fierce divisional rivals who have both failed to impress this year. The 2-3 New York Jets have been struggling offensively this season being ranked 22nd in passing and 31st in rushing yards behind QB Mark Sanchez. In defense the Jets have failed to stop the run (28th in rushing yards allowed per game) but have a shutdown secondary (5th in opposition passing yards pg). For a team with playoff ambitions this game is a must win against the 0-4 Miami Dolphins. I look for the New York Jets to finally get their offense going against a very poor Miami dolphins secondary (ranked 31st in passing yards given up pg). While the Jets have been mediocre at best this season the Dolphins look like they may have become this seasons whipping boys. They have lost their starting QB Chad Henne for the season and will be relying on a very inexperienced Matt Moore to pick up the offense. With an unsettled team and discontent from the fans the Dolphins look like they could tank. I think the lack of leadership and cohesiveness in the team will be too much to overcome against the Jets who player for player are the better team. The price has been dropping on the Jets but Boylesports has not changed their handicap line. I am therefore confident about taking them on at evens for the Jets to cover a -7 line at home. Good luck :hope

[NFL Week 6]

Re: NFL Week 6

Green Bay -20.5 @ 2.95 centrebet Green Bay averages 330 passing yards per game while St Louis allows 225 passing yards as well as 180 rushing yards per game. They have yet to face an offence like this, even though Philly had 197 passing yards and 236 rushing yards in the 31-13 win over them, and Baltimore had 389 passing yards and 168 rushing yards in the 37-7 win over St Louis. Rodgers should have another big day as St Louis are missing quite a few of their secondary due to injuries while Grant and Starks should also do well on the ground. On offence, St Louis struggle to get much going as they average 187 passing yards and 93 rushing yards per game. While the Packer ahave given up huge passing plays, like them to do well and improve their figures while the rush defence, that allows just 76 yards per game, should limit St Louis' round game. Huge mismatch here, and even though St Louis is off a bye and Green Bay is in a sandwich game with Atlanta last week and Minnesota next week, they have been playing far too well to suggest that they do not do it here, and especially at home. NY Giants - Buffalo over 50.5 @ 1.96 pinnacle Manning had a shocker last week, and he usually bounce back after a poor performance. They average 275 passing yards a game and go up against a Buffalo secondary that allows 282 passing yards per game. Also they should do well on the ground as Buffalo allows 138 rushing yards per game. The Giants defence has been poor this year and have given up some big plays. Buffalo averages 241 passing yards per game while the injury hit Giants secondary allows 251 yards per game but the real concern is on the ground as Jackson for Buffalo is the 4th ranked rush offence with 138 yards per game, but the Giants have allowed 177, 156 and 145 rushing yards in their last 3 games. Both offences can score while both defences has given up points in recent weeks. Cincinnati -9.5 @ 2.37 centrebet Cincinnati have scored 23 points on Buffalo and 30 points on beating Jacksonville as they look to make a hat trick of wins. They average 213 passing yards and and 108 rushing yards per game as Dalton has done pretty well at QB but face a Colts defence that allows 254 passing yards and 145 rushing yards per game. Indy also have a rookie QB but will have a tough time on the road trying to beat a Bengals defence that averages 191 passing yards and 89 rushing yards per game. They average 205 passing yards per game and their ground game averages 82 yards per game, so hard to see them doing much on this defence Baltimore - Houston under 44.5 @ 2.01 pinnacle Baltimore are off a bye and should be refreshed but hard to be confident on Flacco as they average 235 passing yards per game. The run game does well to average 124 rushing yards per game but face an underrated Houston defence that allows 208 passing yards and 106 rushing yards per game. Houston average 266 passing yards per game and with WR Johnson out, they will look to keep the ball in the and run it more, as they average a good 133 rushing yards per game. However this Baltimore defence is very good and they allow 212 passing yards and 73 rushing yards per game. Both defences are very good and expect them to keep the other offence in check, who will lok to run the ball as that is where their strengths are. Record: 13-22 (-3.46)

Looks like fortune favors the brave. 3 x 0.5 handicap wins on your aggressive lines with a game to play! Somebody is having a good day, congrats :cigar

[England > Weekend > Premier League > 15-16 Oct]

Re: England > Weekend > Premier League > 15-16 Oct Newcastle United Vs. Tottenham Hotspurs Selection: Tottenham Hotspurs DNB @ 1.86 Pinnacle Stake: 7/10 Not too much more to be said about this fixture that hasn't already been said on the forums. However, I wanted to take this line last night but hesitated as the price on Tottenham was down to around 1.77. When checking on the odds again a moment ago I was pleasantly surprised to see that the line had shifted back offering better value on the away win DNB. I feel this is the type of game Tottenham will be expecting to win if they are going to finish again in the top 6 this season. While it could be argued that the international break may have more of a negative impact on the Tottenham squad I still feel they have the strength and depth to cope. I am hopefully that Adebayor does get the nod to play but even without him I think Spurs have the firepower to grab a couple goals. Newcastle has played well this season especially in defense. Demba Ba is also currently on fire for them up front and this is no doubt a tough game for both sides. For me though Tottenham just have that added bit of quality so I am happy to back them with the cover for a draw. Good luck :hope

I was about to comment on Cinci -7 into 6.5 being one of those funky lines...but I see the majority of people (59%) on the Colts!! :eek WTF? Good luck guys. :cheers Oh, just a quick quiz...(no cheating :lol)...name the QB with the 3rd highest QB Rating on the season so far... :ok

Curtis Painter? I think his QB rating is 100+ with 4TD's with no picks (haven't checked, this is what I remember seeing somewhere). He has been better than Kerry Collin that's for sure. Colts are still going to receive a :spank from the Bengals tho! :lol

[NFL Week 6]

Re: NFL Week 6 Baltimore Ravens Vs. Houston Texans Selection: Under 45 Points @ 1.97 Pinnacle Stake: 8/10 I think unders looks like a solid value bet in the match up between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans. The Ravens are a team that has its best players on the defensive side of the ball. With the help of the home support and the legend that is Ray Rice (He is a murderer :P) I feel that the Ravens will be able to contain the potentially explosive Texas offense. Meanwhile both teams will probably have a decent amount of run attempts that should help to take time off the clock without as many points being scored. Joe Flacco has looked a bit shaky as QB of the ravens so I am expecting RB Ray Rice to get plenty of carries and short yard passes. I think it will be a tight game with Baltimore just edging it. The value however I feel is in betting on under 45 points at close to evens. :hope

[NFL Week 6]

Re: NFL Week 6 Cincinnati Bengals Vs. Indianapolis Colts Selection: Cincinnati Bengals -6.5 @ 2.02 Pinnacle Stake: 7/10 I've got the 0-5 Indianapolis Colts losing again here to an improved Cincinnati team. Indianapolis just haven't been the same team without Payton Manning. The loss this week of Joseph Addai, their main running back, is just going to make things worse for them offensively. The Colts Offensive line is seriously banged up too and currently I just don't see them being able to protect Curtis Painter enough to get the passing game started. The overall stats this year for Indianapolis are not a pretty sight. 25th in passing, 30th in rushing, 19th in passing yards allowed, and 31st in rushing yards allowed. The Bengals on the other side are 24th in passing, 18th in rushing, 3rd in passing yards allowed, and 7th in rushing yards allowed. The Bengals are 3-2 and will have hopes of making the playoffs coming off 2 successive wins. With the Colts at rock bottom I feel they will make it 3 on the spin winning by at least a TD. :hope

Re: England > Weekend > Premier League > 15-16 Oct

Wigan Vs. Bolton Correct Score: 0-3 @ 50/1 £4 SBOBET 0-4 @ 180/1 £1 SBOBET Here is a cheeky £5 wager I have made on a game that hasn't seen much attention yet in the premiership forum. It features two struggling sides in what could be considered an early season 6 pointer. The game has been priced by the bookies as a closely fought, either team can win it contest. However, I think there is a possibility of Bolton really giving Wigan a thumping here. Bolton were much the better team last season and I have a lot of faith in their manager Owen Coyle. While Bolton are on a dismal run in the Premiership I think the stats are a bit misleading. Bolton who are on the foot of the table with 3 points have had the hardest starting schedule of any Premiership club. 5 of their 6 losses this season have come against: Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool. There other loss being a 2-1 loss to Norwich where they had Klasnic wrongly dismissed IMO. With the likes of Klasnic returning from his suspension, Juski coming back from injury, and Kakuta being now eligible I think Bolton will really be raring for a win to kick start their season. Wigan are a team that have been well organised by Roberto Martinez. However their play is usually that of being the spoiler against the bigger clubs. Against Bolton at home I think the fans will expect a more attacking style of play. I just don't think Wigan have the same firepower as Bolton with N'Zogbia being sold in the summer and Rodallega being injured. France Di Santo has been the Lactics main attacking threat but TBH it seems most of his goals have been deflected shots from outside of the box. The price on Bolton seems to be dropping so I have decided to go for a high risk strategy of backing a big away result on Bolton. I will probably also back Bolton DNB before the prices drop anymore. Anyways here’s me hoping Bolton can upset the odds with a big away win. :moon :lol

Close but no cigar. :lol The Wigan goal by Diame was quality but their defense was atrocious!

[NFL Week 6]

Re: NFL Week 6 Detroit Lions Vs. San Francisco 49ers Selection: Detroit Lions -4 @ 1.93 Pinnacle Stake: 8/10 I like the Lions to continue their perfect start to the season (5-0) and beat the 49ers on the handicap line of -4. It looks like San Francisco will pose quite a challenge though as they too have had a flying start to the season going 4-1 and last week thrashing the Tampa Bay Bucs 48-3. My belief though is that the better overall team here are the Detroit Lions. In Stafford they have a solid QB who is able to run a no huddle offense for some serious passing yards (7th in overall passing yards). They also have the perfect addition of Calvin Johnson who has been the premier wide receiver this season catching with 9 TDS! Detroit will look to punish the weak secondary of the 49ers (23rd overall in passing yards allowed) and allow their quality defense and home town support to limit San Francisco's run heavy offense. Detroit to stay unbeaten and clear a -4 line :hope

Re: England > Weekend > League 1 > 15-16 October

Walsall v Preston North End Preston - 2.2 William Hill Walsall are pretty shocking, they have not won in 2 months which is 8 games. They struggle to score goals having only scored 12 since the start of the season. They seem to be lacking in flair and pace, their main striker Jon Macken is out tommorow nursing a hamstring injury which is a massive blow as he makes things happen for them. The players are completely lacking in confidence also. Walsall seem to like playing the long ball game and without any target man playing upfront for them tommorow I can see Clarke Carlisle sweeping them balls up all day long. Preston have bags of ability all over the park for this division. They did lose last time out at Leyton Orient, however I feel that is a one stop gap as they have too much quality to go 2 deafeated. They had been on their best run since 1964. I just feel Walsall will not be able to cope with PNE's technicallity.

Looks like a solid bet to me. Stuck the £20 returns from the Astra game back on to this. Good luck :hope

[Romania > Liga 1 > 2011/12]

Re: Romania Liga 1 2011/12 Interesting spot that is! I decided to lump on £20 with William Hill at 3.40 as the other bookies are offering an average of 2.86 (oddsportal.com). I know nothing about Romanian football but this seems like its a big fixture as WH are going to be offering live betting. Otelul Galati are in the CL this season so they must have some quality about them. Astra are in very good form (results wise) in the domestic league. Seems strange that WH are offering 4.2 on the away win and 3.4 on the away win DNB. Anyways, lets hope lady luck works her charm and Astra Ploiesti are victorious. :hope

Re: England > Weekend > Npower Football League Two > 3 September Torquay Vs. Macclesfield 03/09/11 15:00 GMT Selection: Macclesfield @ 4.46 Pinnacle Sports Stake: 10/10 I think Macclesfield Town offer good value this weekend when they face Torquay at Plainmoor. Macclesfield are coming off a 4-0 thumping of AFC Wimbledon in their last league 2 fixture. Macclesfield also gave Bolton a stern test away from home in the Carling Cup in their previous fixture before eventually losing 2-1. Macclesfield will be feeling confident with their good run of form that sees them positioned 13th in a tight league 2 table. Torquay are positioned 12th, 1 place above Macclesfield in the league 2 table with 1 point more than their opponents. With that being said they have a goal difference that is 5 goals worse than Macclesfield. Torquay have gone 0-1-1 this season at home in league 2 so are currently not showing good home form. I think that all 3 results are possible in this match. However, at 4.46 for the Macclesfield away win I will be taken a punt as I think this price represents goodvalue. Goodluck :hope

[NFL Week Fourteen Picks]

Re: NFL Week Fourteen Picks Just took the Colts -6.5 @ 2.57 Centrebet. The Titans season seems to be in disarray after the Vince Young Fiasco. Tennessee need a serious change in form if there are going to get anything from this game. Payton Manning is still one of the best and most realiable QB's in the NFL. Seeing as it is the most important and potentially dominating position on the field I see him being the game winner here. Colts to win by atleast a touchdown @ 2.57 (38.91% IP) seems generous to me.

[UEFA Champions League > Wednesday 24th November]

Re: UEFA Champions League > Wednesday 24th November Tottenham - Werder Bremen Pick: Over 3.5 @ 2.38 Stan James Stake: 10/10 units Tottenham will take on Werder Bremen in an important CL Group A clash Wednesday night. The hosts will be full of confidence after their 3-2 comeback victory over Arsenal last weekend and their previous 3-1 victory over Inter in the CL. Conversely Werder Bremen are facing a confidence crisis. Werder sit bottom in Group A with 2 points and a -6 goal difference, while also suffering miserably in the Budesliga table lying 12th. Werder lost 4-0 to Schalke last weekend and 6-0 to Stuttgart a couple weeks before! Despite Werder's lack of form, both teams will be looking for 3 points in this clash. Tottenham will want to secure CL qualification, while Werder need the points to try and stay in touch in Group A. Tottenham have a very offensive style of football and their EPL games have averaged 2.86 goals per game. Werder also play very open football and their games are averaging 3.85 goals per game in the Budesliga. This game looks like it could be a real goal fest and I am hoping that it lives up to expectation. My biggest concern for this game is the late fitness tests that both Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart will face before the game. That being said, Tottenham have a fit again Jermain Defoe and a good bench if needs be. Stan James have decided to offer superior odds to other bookies in this game for the +3.5 goals market. At odds of 2.38 I think its a great value bet seeing as most bookies have it priced ~2.20 with the odds dropping. Good luck :hope

Re: Israel Premier League (Ligat Toto) 2010/2011

Not Setup, mate. But you might make use of this: Of course Maccabi can win, but is it any value at 1.57? There's value only if you're willing to take Hapoel Haifa +1 2.05 SBOBET/2.02 Pinnacle. Hot favourites matches usually make even +1 bets too risky, but Hapoel are a stubborn side and a one goal difference is plausible.

[UEFA Champions League > Tuesday 23rd November]

Re: UEFA Champions League > Tuesday 23rd November Sporting Braga - Arsenal Pick: Arsenal @ 1.97 5Dimes Stake: 10/10 Units I like the look of Arsenal midweek in the CL at odds of 1.97 against Sporting Braga. My opinion is taking into consideration that Arsene Wenger may not choose his normal starting XI and rest a few players for the weekend. I think Wenger will put a lot emphasis into a good performance and victory to lift spirits after a demoralizing loss to Tottenham. The Braga game should prove an excellent platform to do so with squad players eager to impress. That being said Arsenal are bringing a strong squad to Braga with the notable absentees being: Walcott, Van Persie, Diaby, & Vermaelen. Another reason I'm backing an Arsenal victory is that I believe they match up well to Braga stylistically. Braga play a similar open football game to Arsenal but lack the same technical ability. This type of game can only help Arsenal's chances and I expect them to have a good amount of scoring opportunities. Remember Arsenal thrashed Braga 6-0 in the reverse of this fixture so I am surprised the market hasn't made them stronger favourites. While Arsenal have lost some form as of late domestically, Braga have been faring far worse in the Portuguese league. They currently occupy 10th position and have lost their last 2 games. Arsenal to show their gulf in class @ 1.97 5Dimes Good luck :hope
