Premier League Round 31 Roundup

April 15th, 2012 by Christopher Kisby

Alex Ferguson’s decision to bring Paul Scholes out of retirement may have wreaked desperation at the time but hands must be held up now to salute an absolute masterstroke from the Red Devils boss.

The 37-year-old’s addition has been crucial towards United’s Premier League recovery and subsequent extension over rivals City by a whopping eight points.

Betting suggested it was City’s title to lose just a few weeks ago and that has indeed been the case as Roberto Mancini’s set up has fallen to the ground.

United were already long odds-on to defend their crown after beating QPR 2-0 at Old Trafford but the blue half of Manchester still had a glimmer of hope heading into their match against Arsenal at the Emirates.

But ill-discipline and a wonder-strike from Mikel Arteta sealed City’s fate for the season and the forthcoming, highly anticipated derby clash at the Etihad is now more or less immaterial in terms of its influence on the Premier League overall.

Mancini verbally transfer listed the dismissed Mario Balotelli immediately after proceedings in North London and the unrest within City’s camp is plain and clear for all to see.

Most vitally perhaps, in regards to where the title has been won and lost, is the contrast between Ferguson and Mancini and how both men have handled certain issues with the media.

After exiting the Champions League, Ferguson removed all pressure from his squad and kept reasonably tight lipped in the face of the public.

Mancini, on the other hand, has been far from quiet and relaxed, continuously talking up his team and readily discussing important and influential subjects with the people behind the microphones and cameras.

And so it is, the race for Champions League qualification takes over between now and the end of the campaign, with the betting completely wide open for a top four slot.

Newcastle and Chelsea still trail Arsenal and Spurs, but both the Magpies and the Blues will be delighted to have closed the gap over the weekend courtesy of wins against Swansea and Wigan respectively.

The Geordies could well be the team to spoil the party – especially if Chelsea manage to prolong their run in Europe this season.

But with Barcelona up next for Roberto Di Matteo’s side, a place in the Munich final surely looks more of a pipe dream than a realistic possibility.

Down at the bottom, Bolton and Blackburn were both stuffed 3-0 meaning no progress was made by any of the teams looking to close in on Aston Villa who sit precariously in 15th.

The Villains turned in a spirited performance against Liverpool at Anfield, but Luis Suarez struck late in the day to claim a draw and leave Alex McLeish’s men still very much in the thick of things.

Liverpool are engaged in the F.A Cup semi-finals next weekend – and half of Merseyside will be invading Wembley for the Reds eagerly awaited tie against Everton, with the winner going on to face either Spurs or Chelsea in the final.

Premier League Round 30 Roundup

March 27th, 2012 by Christopher Kisby

Speak the name of Peter Crouch and most football fans will probably tell you he is a ‘good old fashioned’ English centre forward – and a lanky one at that.

It also wouldn’t be out of place to term the 31-year-old international as a bit of a journeyman, considering that he has played for a whole host of clubs up and down the country.

But on Saturday evening at the Britannia Stadium, Crouch made the entire nation sit up and take note with an absolute wonder strike against title chasing Manchester City.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the footballing weekend, the usually awkward looking striker teed himself up perfectly before lashing a scintillating 30 yard effort past a hapless Joe Hart.

A goal worthy of winning any game for sure – but Stoke were to be denied thanks to a late Yaya Toure goal which kept Roberto Mancini’s side in contention, but only just.

Indeed, it probably wasn’t such a great weekend in terms of football betting and City were just one of a handful of ‘top teams’ who failed to land the odds for backers.

Resurgent Chelsea looked a sure thing at home to Spurs who have slumped beyond all proportions in recent weeks.

But Harry Redknapp worked wonders to galvanise his side who in truth were probably a little unlucky to only come away with a point.

Liverpool were perhaps the biggest disappointment of the weekend – the Reds carried absolute banker status heading into their fixture with basement boys Wigan Athletic at Anfield, but another dire display meant the visitors were able to claim a vital three points in their quest for survival.

Newcastle maintained their solid season to net a decent touch for punters at West Brom, whilst Arsenal continued to fire all guns blazing with a consummate 3-0 success over lowly Aston Villa.

The battle to beat the drop is really intensifying – and Alex McLeish’s Villains could indeed find themselves dragged into the mire unless they can turn the form around fast.

QPR were unable to build on a fine midweek comeback against Liverpool as they lost to Sunderland, whilst Wolves’ heads dropped once again after losing 2-1 on the road at Norwich.

Bolton Wanderers were unquestionably the main beneficiaries at the wrong end of the table as they completed a league double over Blackburn Rovers to move out of the drop zone.

The relegation battle as it stands looks completely wide open and punters should now be able to obtain decent prices about whichever team they fancy to lose Premier League status next season.

But the main focus will of course be matters at the summit of the table and both Manchester clubs are now on level points after the weekend’s action.

The betting should, nonetheless, heavily favour United who will be ready to pounce on Monday evening and win their game in hand against Fulham to extend three points clear.

Premier League Round 29 Roundup

March 21st, 2012 by Christopher Kisby

It certainly takes a lot to make the business of football second nature and the results inconsequential.

The devastating events which took place on Saturday evening at White Hart Lane are proof enough that there is more to life than football, as supporters across England and indeed the rest of the world became united in shock and hope that everything would be alright.

Sunday’s action was, quite rightly overshadowed, but Manchester United’s victory at Wolves was still nothing short of emphatic.

Sir Alex Ferguson deservedly continues to reap the plaudits as the best reaction manager on the planet and it still beggars belief how the Scot can create and instil such an effective ‘bouncebackability’ quality in his squad.

Battered in Bilbao, the Red Devils turned out like a refreshed and reformed side at Molineux and put struggling Wolves to the axe with optimum efficiency and class.

Questions were asked following the defeat in Spain and punters up and down the country were dubious as to whether United warranted such heavy favouritism on the back of their travels.

The outcome was never in doubt and the champions will now take all the beating as they seek to defend their title.

Newcastle have developed a reputation for being everyone’s second favourite team following their gutsy displays throughout the campaign.

Tough and relentless, the Geordies also have a touch of class and a manager who has grown significantly into the position.

The Toon Army had to survive a few scares, but a 1-0 success against a decent Norwich side left the Magpies still on course for European qualification.

Pardew, arguably for the first time in his career, carries a real aura of confidence and strength on the touchline – attributes which are undoubtedly cursing through the veins of the players as well.

The F.A Cup contributed to the reduced Premier League roster over the weekend and for the first time in a while; teams appear to be treating the competition with the highest importance.

Chelsea fell out of the title race a long time ago and the F.A Cup represents the most realistic chance of silverware for the Blues.

A 5-2 trouncing of Leicester City prolonged an excellent start for interim boss Roberto Di Matteo at the Bridge – and the Italian also inspired what was a tremendous performance from Fernando Torres who quenched his goal drought with a brace.

Liverpool and Stoke fought out a real battle of a quarter-final on Sunday – and the Reds did well to come out on top.

Teams have to play with 100% intensity to overcome the Potters and Liverpool certainly marked that criteria led by influential captain Steven Gerrard and the tireless Dirk Kuyt who increasingly looks like he would be an asset to any Premier League side.

With crucial midweek fixtures to come, the campaign really feels like it is gathering pace and English football’s most eventful season for years looks set to spring even more surprises yet.

Let us just hope that each and every one of them is positive and supporters and punters can fully enjoy the remainder of what is left to come.

Premier League Round 28 Roundup

March 13th, 2012 by Christopher Kisby

Long-time Premier League leaders Manchester City now face a real test of their mettle after surrendering top spot to arch rivals United with just ten games to go in the 2011/2012 campaign.

An unexpected defeat at Swansea has left Roberto Mancini’s men chasing for the first time and the Red Devils have now assumed odds-on favouritism to retain their top flight crown.

And with a likely ‘winner takes all’ derby fixture still to come, the head to head battle between the champions and great pretenders can only intensify further.

After a major wobble at the turn of the year, it is United who now look the real deal once again – and their solid if unspectacular victory over West Brom was a hark back to the days when they consistently rolled teams over with ruthless efficiency.

All of City’s excellent work, including the tremendous 1-6 rout of United at Old Trafford, could ultimately mean nothing if they cannot hold their form at the most vital time of the year and the doubters will now be readying to stick the boot in should they fail to overcome a difficult run in.

City will swiftly require an Arsenal like riposte and the Gunners continued to impress on Monday night against Newcastle United at the Emirates.

It wasn’t exactly the most fluent Gunners performance in memory, however it was refreshing, even for the neutral spectator, to see a once toothless side battle tenaciously for ninety minutes and earn a tough three points through sheer persistence.

Toon boss Alan Pardew was rubbing his hands together fifteen minutes in after Hatem Ben Arfa opened the scoring, but the hosts levelled almost instantly and proved much the better outfit for the remainder of the contest.

The Magpies now have it all to do if they are to qualify for Europe and the same can also be said for Liverpool who turned in yet another inept display on the road against Sunderland.

Sunderland were good value for their hard fought 1-0 success and Reds boss Kenny Dalgleish must now be tearing his hair out with his side still failing to muster any kind of rhythm even on the back of a Carling Cup win.

One manager intent on making an instant impact is interim Chelsea No.1 Roberto Di Matteo and the Italian will have been pleased to see the Blues scrap out a narrow 1-0 victory over Stoke at the Bridge.

Didier Drogba showed a glimpse of his very best to turn in the decisive goal which keeps the club well in the hunt for a fourth place finish.

Elsewhere, Bolton came out on top in what was a massive relegation ‘six-pointer’ against QPR at the Reebok Stadium, whilst Wolves’ demise showed no signs of stopping as Blackburn carried out another successful raid on Molineux.

Another loss for ailing Tottenham Hotspur at Everton pushed Harry Redknapp a step closer to the vacant England hot seat and Villa fans enjoyed a rare moment of cheer and excitement as Andreas Weimann’s first top flight strike earned them a last gasp result over Stoke to quell any lingering relegation fears.

Premier League Round 27 Roundup

March 6th, 2012 by Christopher Kisby

It certainly didn’t take long for the inevitable to happen.

Barely six months after his controversial appointment as Chelsea manager, 33-year-old Andre Villas-Boas was sent packing from his post at Stamford Bridge after the Blues were condemned to yet another league defeat by West Brom at the Hawthorns.

Gareth McCauley’s late strike finally sealed the pressured Portuguese’s fate and he will leave the club lying fifth in the table and on the brink of a premature Champions League exit.

But the beleaguered boss will surely be wondering how he could have ever been a success after such intense media focus and a lack of time and resources afforded to rebuild Chelsea’s ageing squad – which now appears to be cracked beyond repair.

Rafa Benitez and ‘Special One’ Jose Mourinho lead the race for the hot seat.

Meanwhile, Manchester United took the sting out of Spurs with a fabulous 1-3 triumph at White Hart Lane as Ashley Young lashed in a brace to add to his recent goal for England against the Dutch.

Wayne Rooney also netted in what was a must win game for the Red Devils following Manchester City’s comfortable 2-0 result over Bolton Wanderers at the Etihad.

The gap between the cross-city rivals remains at just two points heading into the final eleven games of the campaign with Tottenham now beaten off in third.

And Harry Redknapp’s men could struggle to hold that position as Arsenal continue to press for the best possible finish to a difficult and indifferent season.

Buoyant from their 5-2 victory in the North London derby last week, the Gunners landed decent odds at Anfield against a flat looking Liverpool, courtesy of a double haul from star man Robin Van Persie.

Demba Ba fluffed a penalty for Newcastle but still managed to force an equaliser in a heated Tyne and Wear exchange at St James’ Park.

Nicolas Bendtner’s first half spot kick appeared to have been enough for Sunderland when keeper Simone Mignolet superbly parried away the Senegalese’s effort from twelve yards.

But the Magpies continued to dominate proceedings and Ba was on hand late in the day to bundle the ball home for a point – and reward the many punters who had anticipated a stalemate prior to the kick-off.

Elsewhere, new Fulham sensation Pavel Pogrebnyiak kept his shooting boots on as the Cottagers destroyed a woeful Wolves outfit 5-0, whilst Swansea City maintained their solid season with a cosy 0-2 away win at Wigan Athletic.

With the bottom five clubs separated by just two points, the battle to beat the drop is going to be just as frantic as the chase for Premier League glory.

Blackburn had the chance to suck Aston Villa into the equation at Ewood Park; however a 1-1 final score meant that the Villains retain adequate breathing space in 15th – with Rovers still up to their necks in trouble three places below.

Taylor made for another PDC World Championship?

December 15th, 2011 by Christopher Kisby

The PDC World Championships get under way at Alexandra Place in London today. 64 players will lock horns to try and win one of dart’s most prestigious titles as well as the first-place prize money of £200,000.

Adrian Lewis will be looking to defend the title he claimed at the beginning of 2011, when he defeated Gary Anderson in only the second ever final not to involve Phil Taylor. His first-round meeting is against Nigel Heydon. Apart from Taylor, no other player has appeared in consecutive finals but, as the second seed, Lewis will be a popular choice for online betting punters particularly as he can’t face the Power until the final.

Taylor is of course the one to beat.  He is the number one seed and on a high after just winning the Grand Slam of Darts. There have been 18 PDC World Championships to date and he has won 13 of them and finished second in another three. Taylor’s opening opponent will be the winner of the contest between Haruki Muramatsu and Dennis Nilsson. Following Taylor is Gary Anderson, who is the fourth seed and will begin his 2012 campaign against Jyhan Artut.

The first round is the best of five sets, the next two are best of seven. From there it increases by two set per round and culminates in the best of 13 final. The last final to go the distance was in 2007, when Taylor was defeated by Raymond van Barneveld and another meeting between the two is likely to provide lots of entertainment for live betting fans. This year the Dutchman is the 8th seed and starts his campaign with a tie against James Richardson.

There is one other previous champion who is participating in this event; Canadian John Part has won the PDC World Championships twice and is the only person apart from Taylor to win it twice. His last win was in 2003 but he hasn’t appeared in the final since. He is the 27th seed and will play John Henderson in the opening round.

Bottom Line: The 2012 PDC World Championships is once again expected to be the Phil Taylor show but, as last year proved, it doesn’t always work out that way.

What’s Next for David Beckham?

What’s Next for David Beckham?

November 30th, 2011 by Christopher Kisby

He came; He saw; But after five seasons of hype and fanfare, did he conquer? Interesting as his off-field life may be, Beckham must ultimately be judged by what he’s accomplished on the pitch.  If he can’t still deliver as a footballer, none of the off-field stuff matters.

Defining David Beckham’s time in Los Angeles primarily depends on expectations that were set before he crossed the Atlantic. He was never going to make “soccer” a major sport in America, nor put it on a level similar to basketball or football.  He did, how

ever, succeed in generating increased public interest in the MLS and bringing the MLS Cup to Los Angeles.

Looking ahead, Beckham’s sights seem to be headed eastward to the

hosted in London.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and Beckham desperately wants to be part of Team GB.  Recent rumours questioning whether or not the team would come together have all been dispelled, and football should prove to be one of the most exciting events to happen at the 2012 Games.

On the club scene, a number of high-profile outfits from around the world are desperately clamoring for Beckham’s signature. While his price tag runs very high, signing Beckham guarantees increased revenues through sold out games, soaring television ratings, and jersey and other marketing-related paraphernalia sales that would go through the roof.

The two clubs believed to be the current frontrunners are Tottenham and PSG. Tottenham are having a great season and have firmly entrenched themselves in the top quarter of the Premier League. Adding Beckham would be a massive cherry on top.

PSG haven’t won Ligue 1 since 1993-94 and are desperate to bulk up their trophy cabinet. The once glamour club of France isn’t as shiny as it used to be and Beckham would change that overnight. President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is determined to bring PSG their third title.

At 37, Beckham has only a few precious years of his career left so he will want to choose carefully.

What We Learned from the First Leg of the Euro Playoff

November 21st, 2011 by Christopher Kisby

It would appear as though three of the four Euro playoff matches have already been settled following the anticlimactic ending of the first leg. Croatia played in Turkey and returned home with a three-goal lead. Thanks to Ivica Olic, they managed to score in the first two minutes, taking the wind out of the sails of the Turks, who just couldn’t seem to get into the match with no shot-on goals. Should Croatia score once in Zagreb, Turkey will need to score 4.

Guus Hiddink may have taken Russia to the semi-finals of Euro 2008, but his outlook for Euro 2012 is not as bright, and he will now be turning his attention to qualifying for the 2014 World Cup instead.  Alongside the Netherlands, Hungary, Romania, Estonia and Andorra in Group D, Turkey’s future looms tense as Estonia and Hungary have upped their respective games significantly.

The Czech Republic had a 2-0 win over Montenegro. The visitors would have been devastated to give up a second goal deep into injury time. A 1-0 loss wouldn’t have been a disaster but their job is infinitely more difficult now.

Ireland look like they will be returning to tournament football following a 4-0 win in Estonia. Keith Andrews set the pace, scoring an early goal shortly before Andrei Stepanov was sent off. Ireland scored two more in the second half, following which another Estonian player was sent off.  A Robbie Keane penalty brought home a fourth goal, pushing the Irish through to victory.
The Bosnia Herzegovina – Portugal match ended in a disappointing tie of 0-0, as Vedad Ibišević missed a great opportunity to break the deadlock in the final minutes of the game. The return leg in Portugal is finely poised, with Portugal having home-field advantage and Bosnia hoping for an away-goal to break their spirits. On paper, the Portuguese should have been far stronger with the likes of Ronaldo, Nani, Pepe, Joao Moutinho, Raul Meireles and Helder Postiga at their disposal, but the Bosnians held firm.

2011 Fed Cup Final

November 7th, 2011 by Dan S

The Fed Cup represents the ultimate in women’s team tennis. Will it be the Czech Republic or Russia who stand triumphant?

Russia has won four times all within a five year spurt between 2004 and 2008. Czech Republic has never won, though the former Czechoslovakia won five times, the last of which was in 1988.

Russia began with a hard fought 3-2 win over France, followed by a 5-0 win over defending champions Italy. All of their ties in 2011, including the final, will be played in Russia.

The Russians are strong and have four players in the top 30. Vera Zvonareva, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Maria Kirilenko. This all around depth is why betting has loved the Russian side all year.

The Czech Republic is playing all of their ties in 2011 on the road. They won 3-2 over Slovakia before getting by Belgium with the same score. The tie was level at 2-2 with Belgium before the Czechs won in the fifth rubber.

The Czech side boasts Petra Kvitova and Lucie Safarova who are number 3 and 24 in the rankings. Then there is doubles specialist Kveta Peschke who has a doubles ranking of 2.
Kvitova who is fresh off her win in the WTA Tour championships and who won Wimbledon this year is in great form and is spearheading the Czech’s hopes. In the WTA Tour Championships she played and defeated Zvonareva in straight sets. This will fill her with confidence ahead of the Fed Cup Final.

Not much separates the two sides so for the tie is tight. The Czechs have the form but the Russians have the experience. Expect live betting to fluctuate throughout the course of the tie.

Tennis Betting – what you need to know:


●      Petra Kvitova has won all four of the Fed Cup matches she has played in 2011.

●      Russia has hosted the Fed Cup final twice and won both times.

●      USA in 2000 was the last non-European winner.

Five of the last seven finals have been all-European ties.

The Biggest Manchester Derby Ever

October 25th, 2011 by Dan S

The two Manchester sides sit on top of the Premier League table. Has there ever been a bigger more significant Manchester Derby? The Denis Law game in the 1970s is as close as it gets, but this game will surpass it.

For a while City has been trying to establish itself as a legitimate contender, a claim that Sir Alex Ferguson and United have been quick to dismiss. Eight games into the season, they need to respect the credentials of their rivals, especially as a win will give City a five point lead over United.

The blotch on City’s season has been the Champions League where they have failed to make their mark after two group games. They host Villarreal during the week while United travel to Romania. The only consolation for United is that their game should be a cakewalk and this will allow them to rest most of their players ahead of the Derby.

As far as the League go, City have been just about perfect. A 2-2 draw to Fulham prevented them from making it 8 wins from 8 matches.

The Carlos Tevez saga has been a massive distraction and while they may not need him on the pitch, it still has made for a messy incident. Against Aston Villa they could afford having the likes of Samir Nasri, David Silva, Kolo Toure and Edin Dzeko on the bench. Notwithstanding this, they still scored four goals and not one of them came from Dzeko or Sergio Aguero who have 14 goals between them.

United have their own distractions, with Wayne Rooney’s sending off in a EURO 2012 qualifier creating a lot of unwanted discussion. Because of this, Rooney didn’t start against Liverpool and couldn’t add to his tally of nine Premier League goals. Javier Hernandez made a welcome return scoring five minutes after stepping onto the field.

The anticipation for this match has been brewing for weeks and the hype is expected to reach fever pitch once the weekend comes. There are so many storylines and sub-plots that give the match extra dimensions. United will be looking for revenge after losing to City in the FA Cup semi-finals, while City would still be licking their wounds after the Community Shield.

Like any game, there are only three points up for grabs, but for both sides there is a lot more to it than that.
