Aldershot v Yeovil Aldershot aren't great as one win in 9 would suggest, but Yeovil are worse and with a new manager in place at Aldershot they really ought to be beating a Yeovil side who look to have given up. They showed little fight against Southend last week and then showed even less against Gateshead on Tuesday night as they loss 4-0, a result which was fully deserved. Mark Cooper basically had a pop at everyone in his interview after the game and even if he does leave before this game the new person doesn't have the players at his disposal to make much of a difference for me. I wouldn't want to chase the price down too much, but it ought to be a home win.   Gloucester v Banbury We were very unlucky not to get paid out on the Under 2.5 goals and draw bet in the Southport v Banbury game on Tuesday. Having seen the Banbury 2nd goal I have no idea what the Southport defender was doing as the shot was going wide with no danger of a Banbury player getting to the ball before it goes out. Instead of leaving it he decides to pass it into the goal. Anyway, I don't think Banbury will give Gloucester too many issues on Friday. This is a must win for Gloucester if they are to get into the play-offs and they really ought to win this. Gloucester have still to lose at home this year. Banbury's win on Tuesday meant they got up to 50 points and that should be enough to see them safe so there isn't so much riding on it for them.   Kidderminster v Buxton Yet again we get to a Kidderminster game where the odds make little sense. Buxton are a huge price here to win this given the run of form they have been on which has seen them enter play-off contention. Kidderminster's home performance's have been embarrassing all season with them only getting 19 points at home and only relegated Telford have done worse. Scoring goals has been the big problem and they have only scored 16 at home. Blyth are the only side they have beaten at home in their last 10 home games and how on earth they can be odds on to beat a side on such a good run of form is just stupid, but then Kidderminster have been stupidly priced for most of the season.   Slough v Chippenham A few weeks back I was backing Chippenham without success as they kept drawing, but their win against Farnborough on Tuesday night made it 15 games unbeaten and they are now well clear of the relegation zone. Farnborough did have an xG of 3.57 in that game and they did crash the bar from about 5 yards before the same player headed it over from the same place about 5 seconds later which was a fair portion of that number. Slough aren't as good as Farnborough and often don't create a great deal. Chippenham are the better side for me and look a fair bet here.   Aldershot 2pts @ Evs with Betfred (take up to 4/5) Gloucester 3pts @ Evs with Betfred and William Hill (Skybet are 11/10) Buxton 3pts @ 13/5 with Betfred (William Hill are a huge stand out at 3/1 and take up to 7/4) Chippenham 1pt @ 9/5 with Skybet, Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 6/4)

Stevenage to win @1.67
Napoli to win @1.65
Ac Milan to win @1.36
 
10 pts in this Treble please
 
Happy Eastern to all

I chased up again yesterday as I wanted them through by Easter, hoping they are on it today.  Really sorry for the wait everyone.

Altrincham v Southend I'm keen on the home side here who are usually much better at home than they are away, indeed they have beaten Woking 3-1 and Solihull 4-1 in their last two home games. They were a little unfortunate not to get something out of the game at Eastleigh last week and a gift of an own goal for Eastleigh's opener didn't help. Southend are on a shocking run of form at the moment having lost 5 on the bounce and their last win was against Torquay. I nearly opposed them last Saturday, but wasn't sure Aldershot would be good enough to beat them, but in the end they totally outplayed them and fully deserved the 2-1 win. I'm always slightly loathed to call a team a one man side, but losing Lopata at the back has been a huge reason for me as to why they have started losing games. I'd make Altrincham clear favs for this game so they look a nice bet.   Kettering v Darlington Happy to carry on with the backing Kettering at home theory especially as Darlington's form is not good at the moment. Darlington did deserve to beat Hereford last Saturday, but they then went and lost 3-1 to Farsley on Tuesday night and that Hereford win is their only victory in 8 games. There isn't a huge amount in it, but enough to make me back the home side.   Kidderminster v Alfreton Kidderminster have managed to draw 4 of their last 5 games, but as you know by now I am always happy to oppose them at home. Gloucester were poor last week, but Kidderminster still managed to only score 1 goal against us and conceded late on to blow the victory. 5 goals in their last 10 games tells the story. Alfreton have only lost to Fylde and Scarborough in their last 8 games are right in the play-off picture so look a big price to pick up 3 points here.   Chippenham v Eastbourne It has been 11 games since Chippenham last lost a game which started with a 0-0 draw against champions elect Ebbsfleet. They drew 6 games on the bounce and then have followed that up with 5 wins on the bounce. Eastbourne as we know aren't the most consistent side in the division and with Chippenham in the form they are I think they can win this.   Hampton & Richmond v Farnborough As I mentioned last week Hampton have really improved for a change of manager and whilst Farnborough are a good side they have only managed 3 wins in their last 10 games and their good form prior to that has left them a bit. I would make Hampton slight favs for this to continue their superb form.   Welling v Bath Bath let us down last weekend, but I will take them to win at Welling tomorrow afternoon. Welling started off the season well, but it has been pretty dire for a while now and they find themselves just 5 points about the relegation zone. Bath's away form has been better than their home form and they have basically had the opposite season to Welling's with them being just 2 points outside the play-offs. Welling have not won in 8 games now and I with Bath only losing 4 times on the road I fancy an away win.   Hitchin v Stratford (Southern Premier Central) Just the one bet in Step 3 this week and I like Stratford to beat Hitchin here. Bizarrely Stratford's last defeat came to bottom side Rushden, but since then they have been unbeaten in 7 games which included two 1-1 draws against title chasing Leiston. They look like they will be capable of staying outside of the relegation zone now they have got themselves out of it. They travel to a Hitchin side who haven't managed to win in 9 games and whilst they have drawn 5 times they did lose to Hednesford last Saturday.   Altrincham 2pts @ 17/10 with William Hill, Ladbrokes and Coral (small bit of money at 2 on Betfair take up to 5/4) Kettering 1pt @ 2/1 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 13/8) Alfreton 2pts @ 11/4 with Skybet, Paddy Power, Betfair and BetVictor (take up to 15/8) Chippenham 1pt @ 8/5 with Bet365 (take up to 11/8) Hampton & Richmond 1pt @ 15/8 with Betfred (take up to 6/4) Bath 1pt @ 7/5 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 6/5) Stratford 1pt @ 7/4 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 6/4 and Skybet are 15/8)

Not interested in anything today personally.

Good luck Division 3

Torquay v Wealdstone Wealdstone had a nightmare of a night in their last away game when they lost 5-0 at Halifax, but they have bounced back with two home wins since then. Torquay keep struggling for points and it feels like because it is Wealdstone they are a bigger price than they should be here.   Banbury v Buxton Buxton kept their unbeaten run going on Tuesday by getting a late penalty to equalize against Fylde who they mainly kept to very minor chances. Banbury are struggling for form and with Buxton playing well at the moment I am happy to back them again.   Kettering v Chorley Kettering were awful on Tuesday night, but at home it is a different story on their dreadful pitch and so I will give them chance to bounce back as teams just struggle to beat them at home.   Kidderminster v Kings Lynn It was a bit of a smash of grab for Farsley as they beat Kings Lynn on Tuesday as they won 2-1 with a 94th minute winner despite having a low xG. Kings Lynn are recording some high xG's at the moment and we know how bad Kidderminster are at home and how few goals they score. If Kings Lynn can keep up their high xG here then that should be enough to see them score at least once and thus I expect that to be enough to win the game.   Braintree v Weymouth The home side are still undefeated at home and I am happy to back them against a Weymouth side who whilst are improving did lose to Chippenham on Tuesday night when failing to score whilst recording a high xG.   Wealdstone 1pt @ 9/5 with Paddy Power, Betfair, William Hill and Ladbrokes (take up to 6/4) Buxton 1pt @ 15/8 with Paddy Power, Betfair and William Hill (take up to 6/4) Kettering 1pt @ 21/10 with Bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair and William Hill (take up to 15/8) Kings Lynn 3pts @ 7/5 with Paddy Power, William Hill and Betfair (take up to 6/5) Braintree 1pt @ 13/10 with Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 11/10)

Finishing positions 20/21.

Division 3 here i go

Division 3 here i go

Thank you for all the input, it's been really helpful.  I think we all deserve a week's rest so we will restart on weekend of 17/18/19/20 March. 
We'll have to take a 1 week break the week after due to the unfortunate timing of the International Break, but it looks like we can then run through to end of May and have another 10 week competition.  We will lose the Scottish Prem league half way in, but I can put the Championship in for a couple of weeks after that.   We'll have 7 weeks of EFL and then presumably a few weekend play off matches at least.  I'll add in Portuguese Primeira Liga from May.

120 started, only 102 made it to the final week, 243 winning bets achieved with 89 of us having at least one winner.  36 players completed 10 weeks in profit. 
As usual in final week we had some massive bets which resulted in a few M A S S I V E wins, lots of losses and only 17 winners overall.  The top 4 Divisions came good in the end and made an overall profit with Division 8 joining in too, and creditable efforts by the other 3 means we jointly ended up for the season.
Top of the overall after an emormous final week gamble is @Marek76   followed by @1945harry, both jumping up the table with 4 figure final banks . @Procalc and @Budgie 65 keep their places amongst the top 5 having been there for several weeks and @dj.orange leaps up the table in between them with a final week big win.   Well done to our top 5 overall, but creditable mention also to @silver fox and @Cuko who finished behind on £500+ banks.
@Procalc managed an amazing 8 winning weeks with @Gray306 on 7 and @buga00 on 6.
Here's the overall table,  Divisions to follow shortly.
