Overall:7-1-3

Very much liking the start the this season, we've already turned a 5 unit profit in 2 weeks of play, and let's hope we can continue this!

Can I add, I think Manchester City will be very strong this season, and they are my tip for the title.

[Tom Jane]

City helped me out today, too. I like the squad in the long run; Joe Hart piqued my interest a couple of years ago and he just keeps getting better and better. Looks like I found someone to tail for the EPL, which is the bane of my existence in football. And love "Sweden's Own" Zlatan.

Any tips on Spurs-United? Friends with some Spurs fans who say they have it, but I sincerely doubt that. Want to make a play, but at the moment I would just stand pat.

[SiMON2g]

I'll be honest, i looked at the game, but I didn't want to make a play, so I stayed clear from it.

If I myself don't make a play on the game, I can't really assure you of a pick, but if I was to throw a half unit on it to make the game interesting or something, I would take both to score, with united's defense lacking at the moment with injurys and the way spurs play, I think spurs can score, and you are almost guaranteed that united will be on the scoresheet with the likes of young and rooney working together.

[Tom Jane]

More or less how I feel. Will be fun to watch sans wagering.

[SiMON2g]

Let's hope for a good game

[SiMON2g]

3-0 to united, they looked very strong, luckily i didn't play it, and that's the reason i don't play games when i have doubts about games.

[Tom Jane]

Yeah, I made the mistake of playing the over 2.5. Bit my nails until that piss-poor defensive coverage led to Rooney's goal. The first half was an exciting match. But the great players of United's bench led the injury-depleted squad to a solid victory in the second. I don't watch too many EPL games, but guys like Welbeck, Cleverly, and Young have a new fan.

All great talents, I think both Cleverly and Welbeck are great players to lay the foundation for the future.

Jones and Evans both played superbly in defence, which would give massive confidence to United supporters that when the likes of Vidic and Ferdinand are out, they have the depth to cover the gaps.

I had some picks ready for the Serie A opening weekend, but the AIC, FIGC and Lega Calcio have failed to reach an agreement regarding the strike, so the fixtures for this weekend will not be played.

[PickApprentice]

West Bromich Albion vs Stoke City - Stoke City ML @ 3.75

Is there a strong reason to go with Stoke here?

[SiMON2g]

Stoke have won 4/5 previous games against West Brom, two of these victories being 2-0 and 3-0 wins away from home. I had to take the value that this game offered, I really can see Stoke getting a 1-0 win here.

[Blue_Chips]

Do you play any overs?

[SiMON2g]

Do you play any overs?

I do, just didn't find any overs that I wanted to pick for the weekend.

ok, I see. you are favouring the stats. I think West Brom will get at least a point here.

Good luck!!!!

Yeah I see where you are coming from, and I think it's possible for West Brom, but I liked the value for Stoke so I took it, I'm all about profit, not just hitting a high percentage.

Wouldn't Man City to win to nil be a better priced bet???
Just so you know, neither Chelsea or Sunderland have scored or conceded too many to start the season.

[SiMON2g]

It was priced at an extra 0.03 cents at my book, but yeah, totally overlooked that. Thanks for pointing it out!
Yeah I have been impressed with Sunderland's defense thus far, but I like Chelsea to score a few here, while Sunderland are more than capable at picking up a goal at home for themselves.

[PickApprentice]

They have bendtner who suit more of Sunderland style of play, just like Jones. It is going to be a good game.
