I saw the UNDER in the Man City game at +125. I found it tempting but passed on it. I doubt there'll be 3 goals in the 2H of that game. So that's +125 unutilized!

Tell me about it, I wanted to wait till last moment to bet City HC and Atletic Bilbao HW and missed both bets by a second. Really knocking myself right now

woke up to see 0-0 what the hell?

Wilforth · 04-11-10, 11:13 AM

Wow! So many goals within a few minutes in the Man City game.

Domestic · 04-11-10, 11:14 AM

Boring night of EPL, FA Cup will be interesting if it stays 0-0 and goes to a shoot out.
Good news is my Fulham +1.5 cashed.

I'm so happy Liverpool didn't win, it's about time they dealt with realities and left the top 4 to teams who are progressing and improving. Liverpool hopefully will go backwards and have to sell their good players. I'm not biased, but i'm sick of teams doing poorly and still getting CL just because the rest of the league is weak. Come on Man City!!

Who do you guys think can make a bigger impact in the CL, Man City or Spurs?

Man City!!!
Man City's road form can improve, but I doubt Tottenham can ever play well on the road.

Never thought I would say it, but hope City makes the top 4 if that means Liverpool is out. Got to say it, City deserve it. btw...hope Capello is watching the City match...Adam Johnson is having a blinder of a game.

I eagerly want to see these players playing in the Champions League next year:

Tevex
Adebayo
Robinho (when he's back)

'Money' City. They'll definitely be drawing more attention now in the transfer market if they qualify. Surely, they will buy more players with their endless bankroll.

Did you ever see those watches City players received from Sheik Mansour when he took over the club??? here's the article: who wouldn't want to come now?

Now Tottenham/P`mouth are joining the score drought
Whats going on

Smogs · 04-11-10, 11:55 AM

Slam the overs midweek

LostBankroll · 04-11-10, 11:56 AM

This shit was crazy. 2 games go scoreless and Man City puts up 3 goals in 10 minutes. Unreal.

Tommy_de1st · 04-11-10, 12:14 PM

4 games went scoreless incl Tott/Port 90 mins

shantymoon · 04-11-10, 12:37 PM

I'll watch out for that. There has to be a scoring correction at some point.

Smogs · 04-11-10, 01:02 PM

The epl weekend ended 2 overs and 4 unders, both overs went wayyyy over

Exactly.

Smogs,

I feel like knocking a hammer on my head right now. TBH, I contemplated doing the Blackburn/Man Utd draw. It was to be my "England special" play. Somehow, I was afraid to call it.

After what?

Torres plays for Liverpool

JOHON8 · 04-11-10, 02:26 PM

I think it's fair to say Man City are going to be a real force for the title next season.

Still too early imo, 2 years yes, but not next year. It is so hard to jump from 70 to 85 points, it means beating the likes of spurs and villa away to keep up the points, and City are not there yet

mygooglik · 04-11-10, 03:51 PM

very boring evening in general EPL (except **)

I wouldn't rule it out. No one had them pegged for the top 4 this season either. Let's say they pick up 10 more points from their remaining games..would give them 72pts. That would be 22pts from the previous season so they've already shown that such a jump isn't out of the question. They've only lost 5 matches this year (same as Chelsea) and alot of their dropped points were the result of poor defending. You have to figure with their kind of resources they'll sort out their back 4 and some of those draws they had will turn into a few more victories. Their attacking game is already second to none. Plus, if Mancini sticks around, then there should be a little more familiarity and confidence than when they had Hughes running the show. Can't really see the top 3 clubs right now improving that much more. Abramhovich has already cut down in spending, Arsenal will continue to develop their own, and we are pretty much in transition (£30M on Smalling and Chicarito...not sure if that was money well spent)

Can't wait for the derby next weekend....but we're definitely in tough.

killawookie · 04-11-10, 07:37 PM

I took UNDER 4.5 goals in all four games today for a parlay paying out 75 to my 100 .. was a perfect parlay until the 11am est game with man city ..

ClydeFontaine · 04-11-10, 09:31 PM

Other EPL teams are working on a secret Tevez cloning project to increase the scoring.

Domestic · 04-11-10, 09:53 PM

Probably one of the most boring EPL days of the season. I'm sure Chelsea/Arsenal fans aren't complaining though.
