I actually think Villa can win against QPR. Only game I really like at this stage.

MatI · 02-01-12, 08:14 AM

Slim pickings tonight to be honest.

Aston Villa to WIN @ 1.901
Marseille to WIN/Valencia vs Barcalona, Over 2.0 @ 1.80

QPR terrible on the road. They have some brought in some talented new recruits at the end of the Jan transfer but I think this team will need time to jell together so I don't see any change for QPR at this stage. Aston Villa put up a huge fight against the gunners a few nights ago, and will not want to let this one slip away.

Marseille have 9 wins out of their last 10 and Nice have been shocking on the road. Should be a comfortable win for Marseille. Parlaying the Marseille ML with the Over 2.0 in Copa Del Ray match between Valencia & Barca. Hoepfully we see a goal fest in this one.

I like this one, may tail. GL

I really like Norwich at this point. Cats were useless against Boro and they are missing key players. I don't think Sunderland will be able control the game. Canaries +0 or +0.5 is a great pick imo

I will say good selection but one of my system base on variance select Q.P.R tonight base on that i will say bad selection, sorry......

Semper Fidelis · 02-01-12, 11:36 AM

That's interesting, I really like cats in this spot-both teams are in good form and have been playing well lately. Canaries have only lost one game in their past 8 games, and cats have only conceded 5 total goals during their past 6 games. Norwich only has one clean sheet this entire season, and I belive Sunderland's defense is better. I see black cats taking this one. Very interested in what others may have to say. Perhaps a total play would be safer?

Shame about the Fulham result, another late heart breaker. Draw for Villa/QPR was paying pretty good so you shouldnt be down too much yeah?

I feel like Villa were the moral victors though, after getting 3 of the 4 goals!

I got a push on half of the parlay which helped a lot, so im only down very small juice from the night. I'll take that any time on such a brutal night.

1-2 at HT. Both scored at 12' mark.

I took over 2.5 at crazy odds 2,15

any opinion on tonight games ? is berisha back for brisbane? I smell a draw here even though brisbane has been in bad shape recently. maybe 1-1 FT

yeah im thinking an MV win, im prob going to get sucked in again here by MV but Heart without Fred is not the same Heart.

I have checked yet, but I dont see Leijer playing, but i think Harry will be in. Who went off early for Victory in the last game was it Kemp or Broxham? Whoever it was I dont think will play either.

Brisbane AH is mighty tempting here...but need to think more...

Bluedragon · 02-03-12, 11:43 PM

I can't get a read at all on tonights games, especially the late one. I can see a draw in CCM but don't know if it will be high scoring or not. What if this is one of those matches that roar just come out firing and take down a well-clear at the top CCM...fack.

MatI · 02-04-12, 12:28 AM

CCM vs Roar - Over 2.5 @ 1.96 - 1u

I like Brisbane Roar in this spot a lot, but I cannot take the ML here against CCM and I see more security in the total.

For me, the biggest factor in this game will be that CCM will be without 4 regular starters. Their goalkeeper, Mat Ryan is out on Olympic duty and he is joined by team mates, Amini & Bozanic. John Hutchinson will also be out on suspension. All have been big factors in CCM's success this year.

Roar also have 3 players on Olympic duty; Visconte, Jurman & Mitch Nichols. Matt Jurman will be missed as he has been solid in defence and could open some holes in the Brisbane defence. Berisha is back which means Henrique can get back to his regular spot in the midfield alongside Broich. Berisha has actually been playing pretty well the last month or so, despite a lack of goals and he should get plenty of opportunities from Broich & Henrique with CCM's key mid-fielders missing.

Roar have normally had the wood over CCM, except for the last match, but that was at the beginning of Roar's down-swing. It will be interesting to see how this plays out but I expect we will see goals tonight and a narrow Roar victory.

BigTimeWinner · 02-04-12, 01:21 AM

wow amini bozanic and ryan out, who else is left in the team :O looks like brisbane are gonna win this one. I'm taking the over though, my fav

AllTimeHigh · 02-04-12, 01:22 AM

I like Mariners +0 a lot

But I'm going to wait and bet live if it looks good, will have good time to pick up a great odds because of the drop.

Jerm3462 · 02-04-12, 01:24 AM

I tailed you guys on the Brisbane/CC o2.5

Chasing NBA losses.

Let's get it!

Sol · 02-04-12, 01:32 AM

I have a small bet on the Roar. GL on the over

MatI · 02-04-12, 01:41 AM

That is the start I like!

0-1 after 5'

Keep going boys!!!

BigTimeWinner · 02-04-12, 01:49 AM

yay, but game not looking good now, mariners are surely gonna find it very very hard to get a goal here, and brisbane is all in defence now ... lets hope for two more goals though

MatI · 02-04-12, 01:52 AM

Brisbane are not the team to settle for one goal. And I havent seen them move players back. They are far from parking the bus yet, that isnt Ange's style.

BigTimeWinner · 02-04-12, 01:55 AM

holy cow, they hit the post !!! argh, wish that was a goal ... looks like i was wrong, both teams still attacking

BigTimeWinner · 02-04-12, 02:13 AM

BERISHAAAAAAA yeah baby, my Albanian hommie

AllTimeHigh · 02-04-12, 02:13 AM

Hearfield is killing me, should have scored two times

He should have had that last one in no problems. Stage fright!

Come on fellas...one more and let's cash the over!!

MatI · 02-04-12, 02:59 AM

Brisbane pulling players back now, which has me worried. Still time though....

BigTimeWinner · 02-04-12, 03:09 AM

oh my that was some lucky ass goal keeping there

lets hope we have some luck on the over ...
WTH are mariners doing right now, they need to go all in attack

MatI · 02-04-12, 03:25 AM

That hurts. So many clear chances at goal but the one that rolled across the goal line prob the most. Could easily have been 4-5 goals tonight.

Teams for next game - both Harry & Leijer starting.

BigTimeWinner · 02-04-12, 03:25 AM

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

MatI · 02-04-12, 03:26 AM

Barisha fighting with his own teammates now.

gotov · 02-04-12, 03:32 AM

unlucky couldve been overs
cant understand wtf hernandez on the bench, want to pull the trigger on the Victory
covic was in good form against GC, bolton quite opposite...
