adam sandler not nominated once upon a time in hollywood nominated and currently 6/4 favourite

sheff utd v west ham pablo fornals has scored 2 goals in the last 3 games (including the cup game when he came on as sub) i will try a bet on him as first goalscorer at around 22/1 betfair exchange i feel west ham are the value here but will stick with this as a low stakes fun bet

arsenal v leeds alioski is likely to be playing as a winger tonight instead of full back so i have bought his goal minutes at 6 with spreadex which looks a bit low.

Best actor As i said previously joaquin phoenix should win this and has shortened up to 1/6 after winning the golden globe. I watched uncut gems last night and adam sandler gives a tremendous performance. At 25/1 i have had a bet on him as sometimes the oscars throw up a shock winner (witness green book as best film last year). skybet have just gone 100/1 on Adam Sandler so i've topped up

bournemouth v luton Eddie howe often rotates his team in cup competitions and with the relegation threat and injury problems i'm hoping the fa cup has a low priority for him. Luton are no great shakes but at the prices i will chance them . There are often plenty of goals in Luton games also so a small sell of the time of the second luton goal is my second pick. Bets: luton at 7/1 (bet 365) sell time of second luton goal at 84 (spreadex)

Liverpool v sheff utd jack O'Connell has not scored yet this season but had a goal disallowed v brighton. He is a threat at set pieces and I will try him at 40/1 anytime scorer (William hill)

Best film i recently watched : the irishman 3/1, joker 8/1 and once upon a time in hollywood 5/1-3 films toward the head of the market. The favourite is a korean film called parasite. This is from the director of okja. I was disappointed with the irishman and thought it overlong, stodgy and that the ageing backwards was not believable. Joker was better imo with i think an oscar winning performance by Joaquin Phoenix in the title role. The price is very short though at 4/9.Once upon a time in hollywood was the best film for me of this trio and worth support at 5/1.

sheff wed v hull (new years day) I am going to back against my own team again. Fletcher's absence is having a detrimental effect on the team as none of the other strikers can play as a target man. Borner's inclusion would help the defence but I suspect Monk will leave him on the bench again. Bets: hull city win and btts 7/1skybet 2 scorecasts jarrod bowen first/last scorer and hull 2-1 both 50/1 William hill

Very happy with that (especially the spread bet) couldn't have gone much better. I suspect fletcher will be sold in jan and that is why he is not playing .

sheff wed v cardiff Wednesdays last 2 games have been pretty unimpressive without centre forward steven fletcher. If he is missing again then I think Cardiff are overpriced to beat Wednesday at around 4/1 Wednesday were poor v Bristol City but got out of jail with a very soft penalty. Against stoke they conceded 3 and it could have been 6. Dominic Iorfa looked very shaky . I would bring in Borner at centre back and play Iorfa at right back. Luongo may be missing through injury but Hutchinson can step back in. Bets: Cardiff to win at 17/4 (Ladbrokes boosted), sell time of second Cardiff goal at 83 (spreadex/sporting index)

i will try a sell of the first and second colchester goals at 69 and 86 with spreadex in the hope that solskjaer picks the kids

you can back ruiz anytime winner at 9/4- i'll stick with that (betfred) betfair also go 9/4 but I want to put more than a fiver on

alex neil was moaning about missing players after they were hammered by hull-don't know if this is still the case

-just to add to this you are allowed to lose £39m in 3 years our losses were approx £10m £20m in the 2 prior years and a profit of £2.5m up to july 18 so a total of approx £27.5m. However the £2.5m profit included a profit of £38m on the sale of the stadium to Chansiri so if this was excluded then there is a 3 yr loss of £65.5m The accounts were delayed by 2 months to july 18 and filed late i think . The land registry entry for the sale was july 19 so this throws up doubts about the timing of the sale. There is no note in the accounts detailing the sale or its timing. The sale proceeds were £60m. The inference to me is that the sales proceeds may have been inflated and the sale backdated for inclusion into the accounts purely as a means of not breaching ffp rules. If this is so it makes you wonder about the advice the club received from its lawyers and auditors.

EFL have stated that Wednesday have breached financial rules so a points deduction seems likely. Relegation is 66/1 with Ladbrokes so I will have a little bit of that.
