Everton/Man Utd - this weekend

[chopstick88]

Hard to predict, but 60% goes to MAN-U, the rest 40% is for Everton as somehow i have feeling this will be a tough game beause Everton is not an easy to beat team to MAN U.

[LostBankroll]

Im off this game. Much better plays out there than this one. Got a full slate of CFB and soccer on saturday no need in playing this game.

[Glada Tartan]

Im with you Lostbankroll... cant see a reason why this uncertain game should be betted on...

[venhitman]

there are not good matches for me in premiership tomorrow may be watford in championship, very strange coef on coventry- leicester, can be a trap, because cov are good at home

[paciophobia]

you don't really have to go that far on this one, think manU wins this one, you don't have to go thinking "this is a trap" game cause its really not.

[Tommy_de1st]

Last year doesn't matter

[TT22]

Premier League is tough. Books can't afford the get slaughtered there.

[NuNo]

ill stick with MU

[jram68]

i'm putting a very small bet on Man U, but I have not been impressed with them at all this season. Nani and Rooney need to get their shit together!!

[RedDevil11]

Exactly. Everton might not be in good form right now but they owned United last year and don't bend over similar to a team like West Ham would.

How did Everton exactly 'own' us last year? Yes, they beat us at Goodison 3-1 (late goal by Rodwell put it to bed) but we absolutely ran them off the pitch at Old Trafford earlier in the season. That was their first victory against us in the last 5 years (only 2nd in last 32 games excluding cup comps).

I know what you're trying to say though....I'm expecting a very difficult match as the Toffees have alot of quality on their side and I wouldn't be surprised if it did end in a draw. I'm definitely not one of those disillusional 'homer' fans that thinks our team will easily roll over every side we play. I'm just not convinced the way the Toffees have started (worst in over 10 years I believe) and possible mindframe of the players, that they'll be able to kickstart their season against United. Not because United are a good 'FIFA 10' side, but because they're actually playing better football at the moment (compared to the start of last season and compared to Everton right now). Berbatov has finally figured out how to play within United's system and to link up with Rooney, and Scholes is playing like he did for us 10 years ago. We were a bit unlucky to draw at the Cottage...Nani's missed penalty would have sealed it, but it's better than how we did last season there. I don't know how you can say Scholesy's goal wasn't a 'proper' goal. It was a brilliant hit from distance imo.
I really think the loss of Rodwell and Saha are hurting the Toffees and those were key players for them when they beat us at Goodison. They suffered a similar problem last season with all those early injuries and they didn't really turn it around until they got healthier.
With Chelsea likely to beat the Hammers, United will be desperate not to drop points and seeing that they are the earlier match they'll want to make an early statement (so I hope!)

good luck.

There's a lot of things to be said about the United-Fulham match. Nani missing the penalty is a show of character inside the team, character which wins or loses you games. Fulham deserved a clear penalty in that game as well which was ignored by the referee so in terms of who deserved to win the game, IMO it was Fulham. Anyways, United are desperate for points, that's right but so is Everton. I think both will be playing to win, and if there is a winner it will be a tight win, otherwise I think there's more value in the draw/Everton handicap.

good analysis overall from a United fan, GL

and that's what i said earlier the classy team doesn't play like they did at fulham week in week out

[Tommy_de1st]

Some facts:

This is the 184th meeting between these sides. Manchester United lead by 79 wins to 64, with 40 draws.
Everton beat United for the first time in 10 matches last season, winning 3-1 at Goodison Park in February.

Man U: Manchester United have not lost away from home in the league since their 3-1 defeat at Everton in February.
Everton: Everton have not lost a league match at home since November, when Liverpool won 2-0.
Everton have scored just one league goal this season, but Tim Cahill has created 11 scoring chances from open play - more than any other player in the Premier League.

It might end up in a draw looking at those two sentences I bolded

[Smogs]

Everton have had 3 unders, United have had 3 overs - i'm leaning under in this one

[d1m@]

I took M.U to win and over

[diggnation+TRS]

i think im gonna take MU -0.5

[VLR100]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1311081/Wayne-Rooney-dropped-Manchester-United-trip-Everton.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Looks like fat wayne forgot to get on the bus

[RockyS]

Rooney is out, my money goes to Everton ML and Everton +1/2

[WillC]

No Rooney, all the value is with Everton. They have missed so many chances lately so don't be fooled by the standings and you can see with the Villa game that they are playing significantly better now. 1-1 would be my guess and I would not rule out an upset at goodison

Take the +0.5

[althelegend]

This could be one of those forgettable encounters. Nothing by either side. team composition can make a big difference.

[TBone101]

I know the games already started but i just found this thread now..

I Picked Everton

this is why.

Quote;



Okay incase someone had not heard it yet Wayne Rooney is the latest Sports figure to be Cheating on his Wife with a bunch of Whores. It came out early this week with the Prostitute coming forward and word has it that another 1 who was linked with the first Hooker and Wayne in a threesome is going to soon spill some more beans on The MNU star. Will this effect Man United this weekend I answer that with a BIG YES!!! I think Sir Alex Is going to be fuming over this and his team mates will not be 100% focused against Everton. Oh and to top it off Everton Fans say there are going to give Wayne Rooney a "special" welcome back. Manchester United is the type of team that Wins hard games and dont get me wrong its not like they cant beat Everton home and away,But I really do think that Everton is in prime position to take advantage of this latest scandal at Manchester United and Not to mention that Everton plays "Extra Hard" when they host MNU at Goodison. I think A Nasty Score Draw could be in the cards this weekend. Wayne did score playing the Swiss on Intl duty this week but make no mistake about it after coming home to see all the tabloids and having to talk to Sir Alex and his possible Ex-Wife over this crap is sure to impact Wayne alot more then the Swiss game would have people think.

BOL to everyone

[acestreet]

i bet on everton +0.5 at -120 .good luck everyone

[Glada Tartan]

Amazing save!!

[WillC]

Everton came to play.

1-0 after 40 mins

[WillC]

Not half time yet Everton

[Tommy_de1st]

Couple of amazing saves by Howard

[LostBankroll]

Dreadful defense by Everton and they cant finish. THe set up by Everton is great but no quality up front. Nani made the difference with those two crosses after he damn near bled to death. Great game tho its over now.

[Puda]

3-3

[belvedere86]

thought it was over after 1-3. got everton +0.5

[nulldah]

how did that happen?? Unbeliveable..

[kaliboyz]

fu*king bitchassss, went back to sleep when MU was 2-1, wake up and saw the last 2 goals, really pissed right now!!

[Arsenal]

I am thinking 1-0 , 2-0 Man U

I was not even close with this prediction.

[JOHON8]

draw +240 United are playing great, but against sides like West Ham. They couldn't score a proper goal vs Fulham (Scholes long shot and Fulham own goal). Both Everton and United in need of a win desperately so it's either a last minute winner or it ends in a draw IMO.

Have you seen what Everton did to United last season at home? 1 look at their last game vs Villa and you think losing 1-0 was a horrible result for them, but if you actually watched the game you'd see why Friedal was man of the match.

Exactly. Everton might not be in good form right now but they owned United last year and don't bend over similar to a team like West Ham would.

I got my prediction right at least.

[hedgejob]

MU are fade material away from OT simple as that.

[Tommy_de1st]

Johon, you got it right but that was pure luck. Undeserved draw for Everton. United controlled the game and should won it. A moment of deconcentration cost them badly
