Stoke +0.5,+1

[rfr3sh]

Anyone like this?
Im liking it a lot, stoke is hot right now, hard to beat at home, Arsenal lacking a lot of strike force, arshavin still out.

Whats everyones opinions

The odds are worth a shot, but Stoke just played vs City midweek. If that wasn't the case I'd even go for a Stoke ML here, but I think Arsenal should go in wanting this game badly especially being back in the title race.

I think Arsenal has more to play for at the moment. Stoke is fairly safe from relegation at this stage and they have the FA Cup to look forward to. For Arsenal, they've still got an outside shot at the league title so they'll be desperate to pick up 3 league points today.

But if Stoke to plays to their maximum, they've got the ability to get a result against Arsenal so even though I'm leaning towards Arsenal, I'm staying away from this game. No play for me.

Good luck with your bets.

I think Stoke gets something from this...Tony Pulis has his side playing some of the best football right now. Haven't lost yet in 2010...the Brit is a tough place to play, full house or not, and Stoke have a huge advantage in the air. Arsenal can't afford to lose though so I think a draw here.

I think worst case here is a push loss..atleast in my opinion
but arsenal never fail to surprise is some way

I like to over in this match. nothing else tempts me.

that was my initial take but now looking at stoke 1H +425

I like Stoke to win this straight up, the +0.5 is a nice bonus, Arsenal hate playing teams like Stoke it counters their style and is just horrible for technical sides to play against. Stoke play hard, they will knock Arsenals soft boys around, expect a physical game, alot of fouls, barges, pushes. Stoke will want to disrupt play and are a force at home, Fuller and Tuncay are turning into a real handful. Could be an upset today, everybody expecting an easy Arsenal win but it may not be that simple.

I was thinking the same thing, but consider this...

Arsenal have had 7 days of rest and preparation.
Stoke have had a 2.

If there was ever an away game Arsenal would win this season against a team like Stoke this would be it IMO.

Their rest will be key today. They are slowly getting back in form and I think they will be able to get the win today.


Just took the ML at -133 for 2 units.

[pronk]

Last night I had prophetic dream about Manchester City beating Chelsea 4-2!!!!!!! And would you know, Chelsea lost 4-2!
The gunners are very pleased with above result and they will destroy lowly Stoke this afternoon. 4-1 sounds just right.

I'm glad I followed my own advice and not the general opinion on the EPL which has been a jinx marathon. I said it before, the team that is more prepared/desperate for a win will almost always win in the EPL these days even if it's a top 4 vs bottom 4 team.
