Thats the only UK betting site I can view obviously because cant sign up and bet. But some tasty odds there which I would be taking a punt on. I would take a few of the draw odds straight away. Rangers draw no bet would be worth a heavy punt.

Brighton win away at QPR and take another step to the Premier League. Chris Hughton doing a great job there and is under rated. They are 12 clear of Huddersfield now but have played 2 games extra but only 5 games to go after that and they have probably done enough, another win would seal it as I dont think Huddersfield will win 7 games. Huddersfield away to Forest today, thats a game I'll keep my eye on. Leeds v Preston and Norwich v Reading are the other 2 big play off chasing games. You'd expect Derby (away to Birmingham) and Fulham (home to Ipswich) to pick up 3 points.

It would be good to see Bournemouth get something if Spurs win earlier in the day to make a title race out of it as Chelsea go to Old Trafford next weekend. But I see a comfortable Chelsea win on the south coast. Huge blow for Liverpool with Mane being out for the rest of the season. He is their key player IMO. Coutinho is a class act on his day but Mane is unplayable when he is in full flow and looks as good going forward as any player in the league. With Stoke on a bad run despite not being a bad team I think they will dog out a draw today which could swing the CL places as I see Arsenal going to Selhurst and putting on a show on Monday night. If West Ham dont win v Swansea then its panic stations and with a tough run in they could easily go down - Everton, Liverpool and Spurs still to come. I just dont fancy West Ham at home at all against anyone at the moment but they will go on the accumulator today.

I dont even want to guess what team PC will play. But is there an argument to play Hodson at LB so Tav can go to RB meaning another natural midfielder in the centre of the park? McInnes has got Aberdeen punching above their weight, they are on a good run but its confidence that is making them second in the league and not a much better ability IMO.

Neil Lennon to demand SFA chiefs postpone disciplinary hearing
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
He is great in the Championship. Hopefully Falkirk beat them tomorrow and either they or Morton can overhaul them. Even though Hibs go up they will find it very difficult next season. -
If he is implementing a new system that will take at least 8 games but professionals should be able to adapt when working with each other all week. So the players have to step up. But they wouldn't have been use to a plan B as Warburton never had one therefore it would have been very repetitive under him so you would think the players would welcome different options. Sunday is a big test and we will learn a lot about the players and the manager - this is where he will need the local assistant applicants to make him aware of the size and intensity of this fixture plus its importance this time around.

I think I will get at least 7 out of 10 right this weekend. Sat Tottenham 2-0 Watford Man City 2-0 Hull Middlesboro 1-0 Burnley Stoke 1-1 Liverpool West Brom 1-1 Southampton West Ham 2-1 Swansea Bournemouth 0-2 Chelsea Sun Sunderland 0-3 Man Utd Everton 2-1 Leicester Mon Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal

Sheff Wed v Newcastle this weekend - Huge match and likely a 41000 sell out at Hillsborough. Fulham could still pip Sheff Wed but this is the sort of game Newcastle have to win to get the title, it will go to the wire as to who goes up first. Huddersfield won again last night v Norwich but the games are running out for them to go up automatically. All 3 have a few tough games but Huddersfield have the toughest run in, but they were tipped to get relegated so to even be in with a sniff is remarkable.
-
I was Channel hoping between the game and all the English matches but wasn't impressed at all and we need a big overhaul in the summer and considering our best midfielder is a loanee its worrying. I didn't think there was such gap between the Championship and Premier but despite our league position the matches and opposition has been much closer. And now St Johnstone are creeping up behind us for 3rd which would be a disaster.
-
Liverpool let me down for a tidy profit, whats worse was I originally had Spurs on the 4 fold but switch to Liverpool as I thought Spurs may drop points. Had Arsenal, Hull, Southampton and Liverpool. But that draw opens the top 4 race up again for Arsenal as if they win their 2 games in hand they are level with Liverpool. City are on a poor run but I still think they will get their. Man Utd have had too many draws and they will qualify for the CL via the Europa. Happy for Southampton to comeback and beat Palace, and the latters fixture list is a nightmare. West Ham in real trouble, massive game against Swansea at the weekend.
-
Good wins for Burnley and Watford, the latter up to 9th. Leicester on a great run into the top half. Man Utd - another draw, unlucky for Everton.
-
Windass also. Totally gone off the boil.
-
This is interesting and Im sure the two young lads will do there best. Having Halliday (albeit not in great form) in the side will keep them steady. Bar those 2 its a good looking side. Wes Foderingham is fast becoming the new David James BTW.
-
This is on one hand worrying but on another exciting and promising. Agree with Rousseau sentiments that bring younger players in when filling positions rather than players out of position - something we have slaughtered managers on in the past. Lets give these guys a chance. 3rd place is probably done and dusted so its good to experiment against poorer opposition. And no point risking further injuries for Sunday - which is a massive game and a statement has to be made at Pittodrie that we are better than them.
-
So move them to January 1st or 2nd when they should be played.

David Goodwillie signs for Clyde until end of season
Gribz replied to BrahimHemdani's topic in General Football Chat
Goodwillie is obviously a bit of a nutter. Moyes comments are something anyone can say in the street and it means nothing, it sarcasm. The only stupid line he said was "be careful next time you are here" that is actually stupid. -
Miller still has a year left in him, he looks after himself and is a model professional. Personally Id like to sign for another year and as he is capable of playing id rather he be on our books then elsewhere because a few clubs would want him for a season. After that Id like to see him become a coach within the club. Its funny how some players split the crowd and Miller is one of them but Id been a fan since his first spell. And then you get Boyd who I was never a fan of.
-
A back 3 of Kiernan, Senderos, Toral?? Tav has a slight injury, a big risk to lose him aswell, maybe give him an hour of the last 30 mins.
-
Not point risking them with a trip to Aberdeen on Sunday. Pretty sure we can cope at Rugby Park but we are down tot he bare bones and the defence needs improved in the summer.
-
It will be interesting to see who Pedro targets in the summer. IIRC only Hill, Miller, Senderos are out of contract so he will be selling a few if he plans on changing. Our defence is too thin and has been all season - which I said months ago. To have 3 full backs is worrying and Saturdays game is lucky its taken until April for it to show. Of course this isnt Pedro's fault, it lays with the previous management not addressing it yet overloading in midfield. Only Crooks is the other one who can supposedly play centre half yet he is punted to Scunthorpe and there is rumours he is actually an attacking midfielder. So no doubt Pedro will buy a few defenders.
-
Didnt have a good weekend again. 3 results out of 10. Ive been having nightmare bets this year. I did predict Man Utd to win here but bet them to draw on Saturday unfortunately I also put Spurs to draw on the same coupon. Lets try again though for midweek. Tues: Burnley 0-0 Stoke Leicester 2-0 Sunderland Watford 1-1 West Brom Man Utd 1-0 Everton Wed: Arsenal 2-0 West Ham Hull 1-0 Middlesboro Southampton 2-1 Crystal Palace Swansea 0-1 Tottenham Chelsea 2-1 Man City Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth
-
Looks like Senderos and Wilson may need some game time in midweek against Kilmarnock, get the main players back and fit for Pittodrie next weekend.
-
Was the first have a case of a different approach that the players arent use to yet? It is refreshing if PC wants to play an attacking way but he will need to get use to playing opposition who raise their games 20% against Rangers and be more physical. Obviously we had fitness issues in defence prior.
-
Liverpool was the only scoop. Hull and Stoke at home should be wins for Champions plus a win at West Ham who are in awful form in a stadium they cant play in. Players should be ashamed though, switching off on purpose for Ranieri by the looks of things. But makes you wonder what happened as they all loved him last season and played the same system - why did Ranieri want to change the tactics. Im pleased for Kante getting out that team but no time for the likes of Vardy. Players should be ashamed.
-
Koeman made a selection error playing young players in a new system. They only started playing at 2-1 and then changed it to 4 at the back then Liverpool scored straight away which ended it. Chelsea take unexpected hit and it blows the title race open. If Man City get something from Stamford Bridge on Wednesday and Spurs win at Swansea its 4 or 5 points with Chelsea still having to go to Man Utd. Not surprised WBA got a draw at Old Trafford. Leicester and Palace 4 wins in a row each and moving up the table. Hull beating West Ham brings another 3 clubs into the relegation battle especially if Swansea beat Middlesboro today and then Hull beat Middlesboro in midweek.
