Can Arsenal or Chelsea catch up with Manchester United in the Premier League table?

December 22, 2010

The last match for both teams saw the terrible British weather being the only winner, when it forced the Arsenal v Stoke and Chelsea v Manchester United Premier Leagues games (amongst others) to be cancelled. Hopefully by Sunday the weather will have sorted itself out and it will let the busy Christmas fixture list go ahead. The only team in the top four to get a game in the last week was Chelsea and they failed to capitalise on the cancelled matches and lost at home to the mighty Everton (who are currently 14th in the table).

Both managers will be desperate for a win as Manchester United are still a game in hand and top of the Premier League table, failure to claim all of the 3 points available will mean that they will have to wait for Sir Alex’s side to make a slip up.

Newcastle v Spurs Betting Offer

September 24, 2008

Two Premiership clubs both suffering from something of an early season crisis meet at St James’ Park on Wednesday night in the Carling Cup third round clash between Newcastle and Spurs, which is live on Sky Sports. Newcastle and Spurs have had nothing short of disasterous starts to the Premier League season, with both clubs occupying the bottom two places in the league table with only one win in ten games between them. Spurs are probably the bigger surprise to be languishing at the foot of the table given several big summer signings they made, which result them being the bookmakers favourites to finish highest in the betting without the big four, with many pundits even tipping them to finish in a Champions League place. However, things haven’t gone quite according to plan for Juande Ramos and there is already talk of him leaving the club less than twelve months in to his tenure. In contrast, it is off the field activities that have impacted on Newcastle’s on field performances. Current owner, Mike Ashley, has alredy made it clear that he intends to sell the club and former boss, Kevin Keegan left following his concerns over the club’s transfer policy. As a result, the Newcastle fans have undertaken fierce demonstration against the current state of affairs.

Both clubs will be looking upon Wednesday’s Carling Cup tie as an opportunity to get back to winning ways with Spurs the favourites to do just that at odds of 6/4 to win the match with bookmaker Paddypower. Newcastle are 13/8 and the draw is 12/5. Spurs should be the more likely winners given their players should be good enough to capitalise on Newcastle’s current plight, which shows no sign of ending soon.

If you are planning to have a bet on this game, Paddypower are offering a ‘tongue in cheek’ special offer “can’t win, won’t win” where they will be refunding any first or last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets is either side leads at half time but fails to win in 90 minutes

Joe Cole and Wayne Rooney Betting Offer

September 19, 2008

The Betfred offer for Sunday’s Chelsea v Man Utd betting is a refund on all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets place on the game if either Wayne Rooney or Joe Cole scores the last goal of the game.

Both players head into the game in good form, having netted whilst on International duty last week but it is Cole of the two that has already scored in the Premiership this season with Rooney still waiting to get his tally up and running. Rooney is a 15/2 chance to score the last goal with Betfred.com whilst Joe Cole is 10/1 to do the same. With so much talent on the pitch for both teams, the goals could come from just about any of the 20 outfield players but if you do plan to have a bet on this game then such an offer is worth considering as it does provide a certain amount of insurance. Although the Paddypower Offer on this game, where they will be refunding bets if a player is sent off is more appealing.

Man City v Chelsea Odds and Money Back Offer

September 11, 2008

Man City v Chelsea is the clash of the Premier League’s two richest clubs and until transfer deadline day, this would have just been another game. However, events at the City of Manchester Stadium last week meant that Chelsea and owner Roman Abramovich, were knocked off their perch as the wealthiest club in the Premiership. Man City are now the richest team in the league thanks to the take over from new owners Abu Dhabi United, the owner of which, Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, is reported to be worth ten times more than Chelsea’s Abramovich. The news of the takeover was still breaking before the cheque book was out in the blue half of Manchester and City had hijakced Chelsea’s bid to sign Robinho from Real Madrid – for a British transfer record, £32 million. Leaving Chelsea without their man!

In an ironic twist, Saturday’s game will be the first for Man City under its new ownership as well as being Robinho’s debut. Thus it is no surprise that the game is on TV and bookmakers are competiting for the increased business as a result of the huge interest in this game. Paddypower will be refunding first goalscorer, last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets on this game if Robinho scores at any time during the game (for either team!).

Chelsea are favourites to win the game with Paddypower at odds of 4/5, whilst Man City are 7/2 with the draw available at 23/10. The odds are sure to split opinions with Chelsea much bigger than normal for this game but equally, plenty of punters will be eager to back City if they believe that the renaissance can begin immediately. All eyes will be Roninho, who is 10/1 to score the first goal or 4/1 to score at any time. Shaun Wright Phillips recently left Stamford Bridge for Manchester and is 14/1 to score the first goal after netting a brace on his debut last time out. Chelsea’s biggest threat comes in the form of a former Man City player, Nicolas Anelka, who is currently up front on his own, whilst Didier Drogba recovers from injury; the French striker is sure to attract plenty of backers at 11/2.
