Fulham v Tottenham O2.5 heavy

**Smogs** · 12-24-09, 05:05 AM

Both plays look very good. I also like fulham draw no bet

**mihaita666** · 12-24-09, 06:22 AM

fulham is very solid at home, smogs's right

jw · 12-24-09, 04:24 PM

Guess I should start capping these games now .... wife just left for work & we have a blizzard warning for tonight - rain just starting to turn to snow here ... expecting up to 10 inches of snow in the next 16 hours and 30-50mph winds ...

**vyomguy** · 12-24-09, 04:40 PM

Burnley PK is also a very strong pick. Burnley almost never looses at home. At PK, I would take them easily over Bolton.

**ClydeFontaine** · 12-24-09, 05:04 PM

Imagine the free money train on Man City Overs has ended with Mancini taking charge.

Sunderland versus Everton Take Everton on the asian handicap(pointspread) +1/4 ball. I am betting big on this , confidence level is very high!

Everton has lot of injuries going into this game against Sunderland. On the other hand, sunderland is really desperate for a win after going through a crappy patch for the past 5 weeks. This is the same team that beat arsenal at home. I would actually take sunderland PK or -0.5 here.

I agree. Fulham is very good at home. At +109, it has good line value as well

tailing on everton... good luck

**rfr3sh** · 12-24-09, 10:43 PM

cant back everton on the road only 2 away wins all season!
11 GS 16 GA
Sunderland at home 5-2-2 17 gf 12 ga

also there two away wins against West ham and portsmouth
what are the reasons to lean everton?

**mihaita666** · 12-25-09, 05:25 AM

I like the over in man city....like a lot

**Ace_of_Spades** · 12-25-09, 06:07 AM

I can see Stoke holding City out for a 1-0 loss. Mancini will give Cities defesne a shakeup and he is a defensive minded coach.

**mihaita666** · 12-25-09, 06:24 AM

aos, i will say exactly what you say about city in a few months...u cant change things over night

,

**hedgejob** · 12-25-09, 09:58 AM

I wouldn't touch Man City for this fixture. Many variables we don't know yet... eg coach tactics, formation, player mood, there's talk of player revolt. Also Stoke have shown they not easy to break down:

05-12-2009 Premier League Arsenal 2 - 0 Stoke City
05-19-2009 Premier League Aston Villa 1 - 0 Stoke City

YES! damnit.

If anything, I would lean on the under for the City match, Mancini has been focusing on their defence. :O

**rfr3sh** · 12-25-09, 10:46 AM

theyre defense is in shambles one week wont fix theyre problems .. maybe a possiblity of a stoke upset...new coach..new system..might not look good at first anyone with me?

**mew6789** · 12-25-09, 10:51 AM

Possible, but unlikely i think. Man City have too much quality.

**Yamidee** · 12-25-09, 05:14 PM

Hard to predict a winner in Fulham: Tottenham match since both teams are "on fire" lately. Both teams have ability to score on every game, and yes Fulham at home is different team as they are on the road. So for me the best option in this game is: both teams to score.

**Naz Sports** · 12-25-09, 05:28 PM

David James

I agree with you that it is going to be hard to pick a winner,but im going to have to go with Fulham in this one. As we saw last week Fulham can compete with the tops teams (at home.) The difference from the Fulham team last year and this year is that they dont sit back on there one goal leads. Last week they beat Man U 3-0 quite comfortably I must say. They surprised Man U with the first goal of the game and played some very good defence, and most importantly they played the counter attack very well which is key for "middle table" teams. I think Fulham will score the opening goal against Totenham which will open the game up, therefore leading for the same outcome as last week.

**Wilforth** · 12-25-09, 08:13 PM

Leans:

Burnley ML
Sunderland/Everton OVER 2.5

**ClydeFontaine** · 12-26-09, 12:15 AM

Think that Man City will come out with a high line on defense (a Mancini trademark) and slow the game down giving their strikers a few gilt-edged opportunities. They will also value possession and short passes more than under Hughes. May take some time but do think they stark contrast will be noticeable immediately.

**EaglesPhan36** · 12-26-09, 02:22 AM

Good day to pass on IMO. Draws might be the best option for a handful of those if anything.

**Domestic** · 12-26-09, 03:35 AM

I am not touching today's EPL with a ten foot pole.

**Kav** · 12-26-09, 03:52 AM

Burnley PK is the play, there unreal at home!

Are you familiar with the EPL or you're just tailing someone because you want to? Everton have 4 wins all season, while Sunderland's only 2 home losses have come against Chelsea and Aston Villa. Losing to Chelsea and Aston Villa is perfectly forgivable as they're currently among the top 4 teams in the league. Sure, Everton are 4-0-0 at Sunderland but the Everton with that record are by far a better team than the one of Dec 26, 2009. I'm not trying to discourage you but putting money on a team with only 4 wins in 17 games, more so on the road, isn't the best way to grow your account as a gambler.

**LinWin** · 12-26-09, 06:46 AM

Well said Wilforth

**Ace_of_Spades** · 12-26-09, 07:40 AM

Chelsea won't have it easy at Bormingham.

**Karayilan9** · 12-26-09, 09:42 AM

Stoke +1 @ +120
Man City v Stoke City Under 2.5 @ +120
Manc City v Stoke Under 1.5 @ +380

**MichaelC** · 12-26-09, 09:44 AM

Wow...Birmingham holds Chelsea

**rfr3sh** · 12-26-09, 11:42 AM

Birmingham is playing good football right now they could have even won against chelsea..jsut wait a few more weeks near the end of the season and they will start declining. They've played the first starting 11 for the past 7 games..they dont have depth and will be tired near the end of the season be careful with them!

Well unfortunatelly we were both wrong, but since almost all the games today finished with a draw we can blame a wierd weekend in PL

**ACoochy** · 12-26-09, 06:36 PM

Me thinks that all that christmas food made players too slow for games to go over....All 7 games went under today, an interesting angle at this time of the season.....

same deal with U.S. sports around thanksgiving.......

**Ace_of_Spades** · 12-26-09, 07:30 PM

If any game will go over, its the Arsenal match.
