    Hello Nathan it’s a bit late to flag this up on a Saturday, but have you noticed the number of Friday night championship matches that end up in 1-1 draws?
    I noticed this last season.
    Either players are hugely reluctant to play on Friday nights or their training regimes mean they are simply not conditioned to do so.
    Whatever the reason, it is a very consistent result over the course of the season.
    Result last night
    Hull 1 Bristol city 1
    Previous week
    Leeds 1 West Brom 1
    Previous
    Southampton won 2-1 with an 87th minute winner.

    Interesting Sam… I hadn’t noticed
    I know some PL teams sometimes suffer when playing the early Saturday kick offs.. I know Liverpool have a poor record on those. So their might be something in it for the Friday night kick offs
    Strange stuff but a very good spot

    Skybet have Boosted Son to have a shot on target
    Spurs have bossed possession in their first two games and are likely to do the same here. Son can shoot from long range. Bournemouth being home may take the game to Spurs which will leave space
    Either way I expect Son to be shooting

    1/1 Son 1+ shot on target £10.00

    +£32.00

    West Ham have started the season very well. However they did draw with Bournemouth. I think the Hammers will be better against the better sides on the whole as they tactically sit deep and counter. Luton’s first home game I expect them to give the hammers a game of it.
    Bowen 1/1 for a shot on target played at half stake

    4/1 Luton win £2.00
    1/1 Bowen 1 shot on target min £5.00

    +£25.00

    Bowen returned £10.00

    Both teams will be all out to win this game. I can’t see either settling for a draw
    Everton’s new guy looked good in midweek and he’ll provide the toffees with their best chance
    but I favour Sheff Utd. Home advantage and will be confident after a gutsy display against City last weekend

    11/5 Sheff Utd £4.00
    11/1 Sheff Utd 2-1 c/s £1.00
    9/1 Everton 2-1 c/s £1.00
    13/2 Beto 1st scorer £1.00

    +£28.00

    Ireland don’t score or concede many.. Can see that being the case again

    Ireland v Holland under 2.5 goals £8.00

    Game of the weekend is in the FA Cup 2nd Qualifying round
    Merthyr Town v Taunton
    Taunton are a league above started strong and are taking a decent crowd up with them
    However Merthyr have started their season strong and have home advantage
    The Welsh side have won all their home games whereas Taunton’s away record isn’t as strong as their home
    My head is telling goals, both can defend but this is the FA Cup and one goal will ope the game up

    10/1 2-2 draw £2.00
    20/1 3-2 Taunton £1.00

    +£17.00

    A couple of boost for the early game
    Paddy are doing the keeper 1 save minimum.. Wolves at home and L’pool with a disjointed defence to a degree
    Salah likes a shot… :bye:

    1/1 Jose Sa & Alisson to make 1 or more saves each £10.00
    1/1 Salah 1 or more shots on target £10.00

    -£3.00

    I find myself agreeing with Sam again on his “This Sporting Life” thread
    The way United are put under pressure from the home fans to dominate the ball and attack will suit Brighton perfectly… They are at their best way hitting teams on the break

    21/10 Brighton £7.00

    -£10.00

    Awful half from Liverpool and I’m surprised to say I’ve been paid out on both bets
    Alisson must have had that long range pass back by the Wolves player classed as a save
    Salah had a shot blocked by a defender which doesn’t always count as a shot on target but did here
    I’m not complaining
    only the performance sucks

    Salah returned £20.00
    keepers returned £20.00

    Paddy boosting Salah for 2nd half

    13/10 Salah shot on target 2nd half £5.00

    +£25.00

    “”Reading are in the doldrums
    I collected on them going down last season with the help of a points deduction
    This isn’t Ted Lasso.. What goes down must go down again… :rose:
    The finance situation has yet to get any better and they only have 15 players on their books. Its a long hard season in league 1 and injuries could set them back as a transfer embargo which may get lifted/ may not, will not help them bolster the playing staff

    11/4 Reading to get relegated £6.00″”

    Above from page 1

    I see this week Reading had points deducted
    2 wins in 7
    Not looking great
    Early days though

    The last two races I’ve had a bet in were the Irish Champion and Leger.
    Had the second and third in both.

    Had my first bet on football for ages today.

    Brighton to beat Man U @ 2.3/1.

    Good to see you did the same bet. :good:

    Maybe without Timeform I should concentrate on football, Nathan. LOL

    Taking Chelsea on until they settle, especially away from home and starting favourites
    Bournemouth will be in their faces so they will need to move the ball quickly and be awake early on otherwise they could get punished early

    10/3 Bournemouth Half Time £3.00
    3/1 Bournemouth £3.00
    17/2 Solanke 1st scorer £2.00

    +£34.00

    Burnley have had a tough start to the season having lost to Villa, Spurs and Manchester City in the league
    tonight we will find out a bit more about them but I think they will suffer a defeat away at Forest who I was expecting to be a shade of odds on

    6/5 Forest £5.00

    +£29.00
