  4. Re: £10,000 for £10 (10 bets) Have taken a bit of interest in this thread to the extent I started trying it last night but with slight variation. 1) I'm not just doing any 10 games - i'm doing the best 10 as they come along 2) I'm not looking at evens and above - i'm doing around 1/2 and above 3) I'm not aiming for £10,000 (although it would be nice) - I've not decided yet but thinking of cashing in when i get to 3 lines left from 10 - will decide later. 4) after a round of betting, I'll skim a little off the top and spread the rest evenly on the next round Picked 3 and they came in last night (England u21 4/9, Bradford 5/6 and Grays 11/10) so confidence is stupidly good (as it always is after a win!) :D todays picks to continue will be; HONEFOSS v sogndal evs hinckley v NORTHWICH evs HIK v skold 8/13 STAFFORD v moor green 8/15 this will take my line to 7 out of 10 - will post end of round results if I haven't nose-dived completely! thanks to the non-league guys (yet again) for pointing out some potential good bets. Friskyfitz - looks like a really good system:clap but I did cringe when I saw your latest picks:unsure . Hope you prove me wrong:hope .

  5. Re: World Cup > Qualifying Matches > ( 3 September 2005) Probable team news for wales; keeper - unimportant - none are special at int. level defence - Duffy and Ricketts at full back, Gabbidon-Page-Partridge centre backs. midfield - Fletcher and Robinson centre, Giggs and Davies on wings. Forward - Hartson Again, nothing confirmed as yet, but if this is the team then IMO it pushes forward a small England victory. I really cannot see Wales scoring with a defensive line-up unless it is gifted (but David James is not playing!). Duffy is ex-swansea - moved to Portsmouth and sent on loan to Coventry. Ricketts currently plays for Swansea. Gabbidon is easily our best defender and has fitted in well at the Hammers as they have a good start to the season. Page is past his best and I've seen many errors between him and Gabbidon whilst at the City and with Wales - has never been the best of partnerships. They are joined by Partridge of Bristol City (formerly Motherwell). A decent defender but ? his abilty at this level. Thus the defence includes x1 from Premier, x2 from Championship and x2 from division 1! Those of you crying about Young being in the England side - if you don't want him, WE DO!!!

  6. Re: World Cup > Qualifying Matches > ( 3 September 2005) Well, I'm pleased to see a few people having some belief in the mighty Welsh Dragon (even if it's cos confidence in England is low). Sadly, I think the dragon is a little short of coal at the moment. Most of you will have good knowledge and strong opinions re the english team, but here's my thoughts re the Welsh side. The first negative that jumps out at me is the keepers spot... David James would certainly be OUR first choice (yes it is THAT bad)!!! Jones was reasonable at his best but is now ready to hang up his boots. Our other choices are Coyne and Price. Coyne is inexperienced (with good reason) and Lewis is errr.... inexperienced!!! Both are reasonable Championship keepers, but nothing more at this point in time. The second thing that jumps out at me is the central midfield role. People have spoken of the 'injury crisis' England have. Yeah, that's nice for you! Our BEST centre midfield is... Carl Robinson and Carl Fletcher! How much of an injury crisis will England need to field an equally weak midfield? Our FULL list of strikers is.... Hartson and Earnshaw. No Bellamy and no-one else. Both have done well in the games that they have played for Wales, but standards will be high in this game. Creatively, on paper Wales could have a decent attack including both strikers, Giggs and Davies. However, as pointed out earlier, Earny has not had any kind of run at WBA under Robson. Whilst at The City, his fitness may not have been Premiership standard (which Robson has criticised him for in the past), but he was at least playing regular football. Noticably whilst at the City and his early Wales days, it is obvious that a good defender can easily mark him out of the game (as QPR did with ease in the play-off final). It's when defenders stand off him that he can do damage. Hartson is the target man but not the goal poacher. Giggs (who I hate with a burning passion) is likely to pull his finger out simply because it is a big game. His best performances have come against big teams but he tends to usually play like he does with United - however, with Wales, the players around him tend not to know what is expected of them and the link-up play is often missing. This is not helped by Giggs consistent broken fingernails stopping him playing in friendlies (i think he's played 5 out of a potential 34 friendlies since his first Welsh cap) - this not allowing him to gel with other players. Mark Hughes played a number of times with Hartson leading the attack and Giggs playing off him - I'm a little sceptical to the real success of this formation compared to other options, but it is not really known what formation Toshack will run with. Our defence is mainly a mixture of average Premiership players and Championship players - nothing that a certain Mr Rooney cannot breeze past with ease (I'm fearing his form at the moment {? possibilty of first goalscorer?}). Overall, I feel that regardless of quality in most positions, the Welsh team will be up for this game like English players can never know. Sadly, I don't feel that this will be enough. Without the passion and leadership of Savage in midfield, Toshack has thrown away a chance of a memorable game (in Welsh eyes) by not healing the rift - we don't have a rich vein of depth in any area of our squad. Furthermore, reports from the Welsh camp suggest that we are already focussing upon the next Euro 2008. I was in Denmark and watched the game there - a lot has been said about the game, much negative. However, people quickly forget that, barring injuries, the first half was just about the team that was likely to start against Wales (before talk of 4-5-1) and England weren't really that bad for a friendly (start of season and unimportant game). It was the second half and David James that people remember as the whole game. All this serves to do is fire up the England players and give them a kick up the jacksy - not a bad thing (for them!). The press are jumping on the we-hate-Sven bandwagon as they do at every oppportunity - Sven is not the most attack minded manager but he has a very good track record with England in the qualifiers. Overall, I think England should win this comfortably statistically but not by too many goals - they will keep some energy for the Irish. An early goal for England would not surprise me and a good defensive display. If Wales score, it should only be the once at most. My bets; England to win - 8/10 points England/England - half/full time - 5/10 points Rooney to score at any time - 2/10 points any thoughts from other Welshmen?
