sheffield wednesday v rotherham george byers has 2 goals in his last 3 games for wednesday. Unibet's prices are out of line- Bets: Byers to score anytime 15/1 2 points byers first goalscorer 33/1 1/2 point

Barring matches involving minnows every team batting second has won. This apparently is to do with the dew making it hard for the bowlers to grip. The toss is therefore crucial. I'm sure the bookies will be aware and adjusting the odds post toss.

i'm going to try a relegation treble again i got this wrong last year by selecting villa instead of sheffield united The four obvious candidates to me (and four shortest in the betting) are watford norwich brentford and crystal palace. Patrick Vieira was obviously a top class player but that might not translate into management. He had a spell in the USA and then for Nice, where he was sacked after a 5 game losing run. He does not come across as particularly insightful in his tv appearances and i think he will take Palace down. I'll add watford (who look the weakest) and Norwich on the basis that Brentford may just surprise people but this is probably a coin toss. Relegation Treble watford, norwich, palace 25/1 skybet

this one looks a bit optimistic @StevieDay1983 vieira a big risk, eze out til december

Time to cash out of this i think. Wednesday have signed recently; Peacock-Farrell and Lewis Wing. Also theo corbeanu from Wolves a 19 year old Canadian international. Florian Kamberi on loan from St Gallen and George Byers from Swansea. It may take a while for them to gel but i have changed my mind on relegation prospects.

The heats for the womens 100m were run yesterday morning and it looks like it is a fast track. Ta lou broke her personal best in 10.78 and was fastest but she always seems to run hard. Fraser-pryce and thompson herah ran 10.84 and 10.82 and were running within themselves. Visually Elaine thompson was most impressive of the trio but she is a more elegant runner than fraser-pryce. Asher smith ran over 11 seconds and came second after 12 staright victories this year so i wonder if she has an injury worry- (she pulled out of a meeting at gateshead with a tight hamstring). Fraser-pryce was also not wearing the latest nike spikes and was talking about running 10.5 or 10.6 in the final. I will try a straight forecast with skybet fraser-pryce gold thompson silver at 9/4

hi @harry_rag just had a quick look josh dasilva a possible buy at 3.5 for brentford kieran tierney 1.3 to buy for arsenal if playing wing back, (rather than centre back in a three) would be of interest

he's a good player also signed bailey peacock farrell not seen much of him but remember some clangers for leeds before bielsa got rid to counter that burnley fairly canny in the transfer market

I heard a story today which gives an indication of the way the club has been run. Carlos Carvahal has revealed that when he was appointed the person who had the final say was Chansiri's son Att, then aged 11 or 12.

its all highly speculative at this stage @StevieDay1983-i just thought the price was wrong. We do have some decent players-Bannan (rumoured to be off) Windass (injured already) Luongo and Iorfa (injured for most of last season) but i think we'll have a poor start as we have not recruited many (4) and lost 15. Also we have 2 poor goalkeepers and no obvious forward.

womens 100m shelly ann fraser pryce ran 10.63 in june and says she is looking forward to going even faster in tokyo. The world record is 10.49 to drug cheat florence griffith joyner . She is best priced 11/10 but i will take evens with skybet . Barring injury or disqualification she should win this.

paddy let me have £5

that's still too big imo betfair let me have £3.80 on ?

i seem to do this every year but following a car crash of a club seems like an opportunity sheffield wednesday have lost 15 players and signed 3 the wages were not paid for many months and a suspended points deduction looms 6 points the next time the idiot of a chairman fails to pay 13/1 with betfair but you wont get more than 38 on why do they call themselves book makers when they won't take a bet

one final bet for me: England to win in extra time 10/1 skybet with the defensive line up from England i can see a draw at 90 mins and grealish making the difference in extra time

i'm expecting rioting if england lose, i drove past 2 italian restaurants close to me and thought will they have their windows put in tomorrow ? i expect the midfield battle to be critical. we have 2 defensive dogs who i think will be outplayed by italys midfield.

lets hope for a more competent referee and use of var this time

mark langdon in the racing post has tipped the following: maguire first goalscorer 33/1 emerson first goalscorer 80/1 emerson anytime goalscorer 40/1 all hills reasoning is the left back for italy is encouraged to get forward (spinazzola until injured) emerson not as good but hit the bar in the semi final from 3 attempts on goal only kane and sterling have had more attempts on target than maguire who had 3 v denmark

skybet have a boost England to win in 90 mins 3/1 (£10 max) Following the 2+ headed shots on target theme (i'm assuming @harry_rag2+ means 2 or more) maguire 2+ headers on target 40/1 stones 2+ headers on target 250/1 chiellini 2+ headers on target 350/1 bonucci 2+ headers on target 350/1 all to low stakes obviously

i also favour Italy but think that England have the best squad in the competition. The problem is he refuses to use any flair players like foden or grealish other than off the bench. The decision to sub grealish last night was ridiculous as Denmark were there to be killed off and Southgate took him off , sat back and invited pressure. Mancini is a much better coach and i think this will be the defining factor. That said i had a decent bet on Italy and have laid half of it off.

Headed shots what does that mean ? Headers?

some bookies like paddy and betfair wont take my bets (or they will let me have a fiver) so i get someone else to put the bet on do you have many like that @harry_rag

skybet have Kane anytime boosted at 3/1 but £10 max they also have maguire to score an anytime header at 16/1 which looks better value than my suggested fgs at 25/1

England v Denmark In the racing post when asked to nominate a first goalscorer 3 of 6 panelists have picked harry maguire. This is based on value terms and also the fact that he scored in the last game and has looked a threat at set pieces. Harry Maguire fgs 25/1 b365

i have to say i've been underwhelmed by him -speed but not much nouse
