Will Villa suprise Sir Alex in the Carling Cup Final
February 25, 2010
Earlier this month Aston Villa met Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League in a game that pretty much decided in the first half, with the game ending 1-1, but we did get to see a sending off for United and Villa scoring an own goal. Nani’s sending off unfortunately it means he will be serving a three match and be ineligible for this fixture.
Now the two teams must meet again for the second time this month for the Carling Cup final (well the Football League Cup Final is its real name!) on Sunday 28th February from Wembley Stadium. Odds look like a win for Sir Alex’s side as the current holders of the trophy, but cup finals can bring out the best and worst in teams!
The bookmakers Victor Chandler are running a cash back betting offer on this game. If the match goes to the dreaded penalties then they will refund all losing first goal scorer bets and correct score bets as a free bet.

Can Chelsea beat their former boss in the Champions League last 16?
February 23, 2010
The first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League starts for Chelsea on Wednesday and they must travel to the imposing San Siro stadium in Italy to take on Inter Milan. The press and fans will be very excited with this fixture as ex Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and his current side will meet up in what is sure to be an exciting game.
Chelsea players will be looking for the headlines to be on what happens on the pitch and not on the sex scandals of John Terry and Ashley Cole that are currently dominating the press. It has been reported that they have cost Ashley Cole 2 weeks wage, quite a hit when you are on £100,000 a week!
Both teams look quite evenly matched and that is what the bookies are thinking with no side having the advantage, Chelsea should have Frank Lampard back on board following his recovery from a virus infection that kept him out of the Chelsea win at the weekend over Wolves.

True to form the bookmakers Paddy Power are running a cash back offer on this Champions League game. If the game ends in a disappointing 0-0 then Paddypower will refund all losing first and last goal scorer bets as well as correct score and scorecast singles that are made on the match.

Revitalised Bolton ready to take on Arsenal at the weekend
January 15, 2010
Owen Coyle starts his managerial career with his first game in charge for Bolton on Sunday (hopefully he will stay longer than Paul Hart managed at QPR) and it will be a baptism of fire as his first match in charge is against Premiership title hopefuls Arsenal. Bolton are still hanging around the bottom of the table with just 18 points compared to Arsenal who are in third place with an impressive 42 points.
Since arriving at Bolton it looks as if Coyle has made a positive impact on the side as replacement for the sacked Gary Megson, several players including Bolton skipper Kevin Davies have publicly said that the arrival of Owen Coyle has helped to lift the spirits of the Bolton squad, but will this be enough for them to defeat a strong Arsenal team?

Paddy Power are running one of their famous cash back offers on this fixture. If Owen Coyle’s Bolton side manage to pull off the improbable a record a win and claim all 3 points then they will refund all losing first and last goal scorers as well as correct score and scorecast single bets made on the game.

Liverpool keen to progress to FA Cup 4th round as bookies make them 1/5 odds on to win
January 12, 2010
Liverpool will take on Coca Cola Championship side Reading on Wednesday night at Anfield in their 3rd round FA Cup replay. The two teams met previously at the beginning of January with a 1-1 draw, Reading had opened up the score sheet with a close range shot from Simon Church in the 24th minute, this was later cancelled out by Steven Gerard’s goal on 36 minutes, Reading had a valid penalty appeal turned down after Skrtel tugged Gylfi Sigurdsson’s shirt which could have avoided the fixture.
However with Liverpool playing at home it looks as if Rafael Benitez’s team will make full use of the home advantage and Readings form of late does little to increase their odds of progressing through to the next round where they would face Burnley with their likely new manager Sean O’Driscoll.
Liverpool V Reading Match odds
In the spirit of fair play Paddy Power will, if the game goes into extra time refund all losing first and last goal scorer bets as well as correct score and scorecast singles made on the game.

Odds are that Benitez could be on his way out of Liverpool
October 22, 2009
This weekend could see one of the biggest games of Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez’s Anfield career, he has received the deadly public backing that his position is safe from Liverpool co-owner George Gillett, in footballing terms this usually only means one thing, time to start reading the situations vacant and wondering what Grimsby is like this time of year, he is currently at odds of just 3/1 to be the next manager to lose his job but with him having just recently signed a 5 year contract it would be a costly affair for Liverpool.
Liverpool have suffered an unfortunate time in recent games, losing in the Champions League at home against Lyon mid week and last weekends beach ball goal that cost them the game sees them languishing in 8th place in the Barclays Premier League. This weekend they take on the league leaders Manchester United, a win for Liverpool would lift team spirits, save Rafa (for now) and dependant on results put them back in the top four.
