Right folks, I need to get a few quid in the bank before I head to Las Vegas at the end of the month so it’s essential to deliver a winning soccer bet before I head off for my well-deserved winter break.
Punters GUIDE FIVEHIT
We start with our odds-on fivehit and begin with our weekend banker.
Arsenal (4/6) travel to Hull in the live Saturday evening game with one thing in mind – revenge.
The Gunners went down 2-1 to Phil Brown’s side at the Emirates Stadium at the end of September and they will be hoping to put that right come Saturday night.
We have opted for new Arsenal captain KOLO TOURE (right) for first/last goal at 33/1.
Big-spending MAN CITY (4/5) are starting to feel the heat and manager Mark Hughes knows they need a win and we think they will get three precious points at home to Wigan.
ROCHDALE (5/6) have only lost two games at home this season and they look a good punt to beat Lincoln who have lost seven out 10 games on the road this season.
Chris Coleman is doing a good job at Coventry (5/6) on a low budget and we think the Sky Blues will get the points at home to Blackpool that will put a gap between them and the relegation spots.
We have to wait to Sunday and hopefully by that stage we will be waiting on in-form DUNDEE UTD (8/13) who tackle Motherwell at Tannadice.
The Tangerines are third in the SPL and are a tough team to beat, losing only once at home all season.
Punters GUIDE QUAD
On to this weekend’s quad and we start with our weekend choices and DERBY (11//8) need to start getting points on the board and we can see them doing just that at the expense of QPR.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST (6/5) at last are starting to go on a bit of a run and we can see that continuing against Plymouth.
SOUTHAMPTON (11/10) got a priceless win at Barnsley last weekend and can build on that with a win over fellow strugglers Doncaster at St Marys.
We end this weekend’s quad in League Two and we have gone for DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE (5/4) who travel to Barnet – a win could see the former Conference side jump into the top three.
Barnet have already lost SEVEN at home this season.
Punters GUIDE XXX
We end with our draw treble and they are all in the Championship.
We are taking second-placed READING to grab a draw at SWANSEA while table-topping WOLVES should take a point at BRISTOL CITY.
SHEFFIELD UTD travel to Vicarage Road and we are banking on them taking a point off WATFORD.
All draws priced at 11/5.
The rest, folks, is up to you, as it always is!

Going back to that horse race yesterday were Topless unseated her jockey about 50 yards from the winning line when 5 lengths in front. 2 punters were waiting on Topless to complete their Tote Scoop 7 picks and if she had won it would have got them.......£194,000 EACH!!!!!
That is sickening!!!!!

Spurs offer to sign Wigan's Wilson Palacios has been "virtually agreed" according to Wigan boss Steve Bruce. The fee is thought to be around £14m which I personally think is a bit steep but that's the way the transfer market is these days. Palacios looks like a super player though and has attracted interest from Man Utd and Real Madrid.
What a deal for Wigan though, they paid £1m for this guy last year and they're selling him on for £14m.
Liam
racing looks quite dire today.
Going to have a go on David Pipe's PRINCE GEENO in the first at Chepstow. E/w bet probably, currently 10/1
Barstool
Yeah, the racing is poor today.
I'm going to have a few quid on FALCONS TRIBUTE in the 3.20 at Catterick at 14/1. Not a great race and won't take much winning.
Liam
Below is the apparent transcript that has been leaked of the telephone negotiations between Kaka and Manchester City. Unfortunately the transcript is only from the City end of the call.....
"Hello, is that Kaka? How do you fancy becoming the supply line to Craig
Bellamy and Darius Vassell this winter?
"No, your fellow countryman doesn't like the cold and will be out until mid
April - but you will play alongside Stephen Ireland"
"No, Kaka, Ireland is a person not a country"
"yes, I fully appreciate that he is not Ronaldinho, Pirlo or even Beckham
but many fans have him in their fantasy football"
"I know you are currently the richest man in Italy but we can double it!"
"erm, well, we have had a bit of a slide recently and we are currently 15th"
"erm, out of 20...... but Mark Hughes once won the double for our
neighbours"
"Hughes"
"Ex Blackburn boss"
"Blackburn, Blackburn Rovers"
"No, Blackburn......Black.....Burn"
"HUGHES man, HUGHES!!!"
"He once scored a good goal against Spain"
"No, that's Gerry Armstrong..... anyway, are you coming or not?"
"Usually about two thirds full but if we play a big team it really rocks"
"yes I know, but we don't even have a car park cos all the fans walk to the
ground they are so local"
"Relevance? well, I suppose its all they have to brag about whether its true
or not"
"Only the one to be fair but its called 'blue moon' you will love it"
"Blue"
"yes, definitely blue, always has been"
"No, no, no, they are in Trafford"
"yes they are, steeped in it in fact but what good is history to you my
ambitious friend?"
"erm, 1976 I think"
"it was the er, the er League cup if memory serves me right"
"Well, the plan was to get in the top 4 this season and then....."
"yes, I realise that but....."
"Aston Villa? What's it got to do with them?"
"Yes, I know but we have been down this history route already"
"How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know about Nottingham
Forest?"
"Yes, yes, and Leeds United also made a final but you are missing my point,
this is all about the future"
"Give me strength......HUGHES!!!!"
"yes I know he did and he was a legend there but he is a changed man"
"forget them, they are falling apart"
"But all those trophies were won last year! They have won nothing in 2009"
"I have told you.... 1976!!!!"
"How the heck does a Brazilian playing in Italy know that Virginia Wade has
won Wimbledon since then?"
"Yes she probably is in her 60's"
"I don't know, probably about 10 league titles, 2 European cups and countless
domestic cups what has that got to do with it?"
"76,000 why?"
"yes, every game, even minor cups I suppose, but where is this getting us?"
"Yes, the league cup is considered a minor cup over here why?"
"I know, I know, I know, ok perhaps they won the FA Cup in 1970 or something
does it really matter?"
"look, Kaka, we will treble whatever you are on now, buy you a mansion in
Alderley Edge and give you a helicopter for your front lawn....are you
joining us?"
"NO!, its owned by the council - what has the ground got to do with
anything"
"well, officially its the City of Manchester Stadium but most people call it
Eastlands"
"EAST!, not Waste"
"You will be adored there"
"No, not there, here I meant"
"No, that's Old Trafford, I meant adored here at Waste....erm, Eastlands"
"Anderson??? what does he know?"
"Ok I hear what you say, but other than Pride, Ambition, Achievement,
History, Passion and a large car park - what can they offer you?"
"what do you mean no credit left in your phone.....I phoned you"
"Hello, Mr Kaka,...... Mr Kaka are you there?............................

Football weekend NAP.....
Sunderland to draw with Villa - 11/5
Liam
3 Horses to watch very closely today.....
MISS MITCH 9/1 - 3.25 Ascot
BUNDLE OF FUN 33/1 - 3.05 Naas
BALSAFLOUR 12/1 - 3.40 Naas
All have great chances
Liam
Bundle of Fun 3rd at 20/1. Very nearly got up, hope you were on each-way.
Liam
Miss Mitch wins at 8/1. Hope you were on that too.
2 out of 3 so far!!
Liam
spurs bottom of the league
utd top
what a week
raffo
£240 up after them horse bets. I also doubled Miss Mitch up with Calgary Bay who was unlucky at Ascot.
I've stuck £40 on a treble in Sunday's football. West Ham to draw, Spurs and Liverpool on Monday night.
I'm starting to think about Cheltenham bets now and Clagary Bay is my pick for the Arkle. He definitely looks better over further than 2m but they always go off like scalded cats at Cheltenham and I can see him picking them off one by one and storming up the hill. I'm trying to find another horse to double him up with, possibly Denman, but I want to see how well he is IF he has a run beforehand.
Come on you Spurs!!
Liam
Poor punter in the Roddy's on Saturday night was waiting on Wolves to draw - what a sickener! 2-0 up and cruising! 2-2 it ended £500 they beat him out off.
Jim Sloan was waiting on Spurs for £800 and is still cursing BENT - what a miss!
any luck out there at the weekend?
I know Fred the Red had a tenner on Vidic last week at 33/1!!!!
Liverpool to win tonight?? Pressure's on for the Reds.
Greedy Bellamy will sign for City today for £15 million - the world's gone mad
I've been nibbling away at Kauto Star ante-post for a couple of months now ranging from 5/1 - 11/4
Barstool
The one to beat in my book !
Haven't seen Bent's miss yet, was it worse than Zaki's on saturday?
Barstool
Barstool
I haven't had a Gold Cup bet yet simply because I want to see how Denman goes if he has a prep run. If Denman turns up fit and well then it's him all the way for me. Why would Kauto reverse last years run?? In my opinion he hasn't improved any since then. Kauto is a super horse but as the great Adrian Maguire said, Denman will always beat Kauto over 3m 2f at Cheltenham if they both stand up!!
Master Minded looks to be the young pretender and he has the Champion Chase all but won and he is scaring off the opposition.
Liam
Bent's miss was horrific but Zaki's was worse because he had an open goal to aim at.
Spurs created enough chances to win 3 games yesterday but the combination of David James pulling of great saves and bad finishing we were never able to kill Pompey off.
Liam
Today's horse NAP.....
SWORDS 12/1 - 4.30 Wolverhampton
This horse looks way overpriced today and his trainer is "very confident of a big run" judging by his interview on ATR.
Liam
My oul favourite BRIDGEWATER BOYS is in the same race Liam so I will be backing it e/w.
My 'NAP' of today is PENNEK in the 2.50 @ Hereford. Had been looking at it with the obvious danger being Little Shilling who is on a winning run of 6/6, but is now a non-runner so unsure what price my selection currently is
Barstool
good to see spurs still joint bottom of the league.
it would be great to see them relegated to see if harry"bung" redknapp would desert the sinking ship.
Another season ans spurs in bottom half of league again--brilliant
micky ginge
Little Shilling - non-runner! I have opted for OFFICER DE RESERVE (9/2) in this one top weight burden but looks the class act.
The Thornton/King partnership should be/hopefully on the mark with Parlesotho (1.50) and Cracboumwiz (2.20) 10/1 double?
Barstool
PENNEK ran a great race last time out and he has a great chance today. I'm actually backing The Very Man in that race, I selected him even before Little Shilling was withdrawn but hopefully I can get around 6/1 for him.
Liam
Liam,great club?????????????
MY ARSE!!!!!
Going down like the titanic my son
JIM ROYALE

Of course its a great club, thats why you lot love talking about us.
Like I said, there is no chance of us going down!!
Come back in May when I'll prove you all wrong.....AGAIN!!
Liam
Parlesotho wins 2/1 - on at 5/2
ditto.
2 x £10 singles Parlesotho & Pennek
& £10 double.
5/2 & 4/1
Barstool
I'm on The Very Man at 5/1 and Swords at 12/1, £10 on each and a £10 each-way double.
Liam
BINNOCULAR has been given a 12/1 quote by Sky Bet to win the Champion Hurdle by more than 10 lengths. Personally I wouldn't touch this bet. The mighty Istabraq won it in his first year by 12 lengths but Binnocular, although very talented, is no Istabraq. I still think Katchit is a great price. He hasn't run at all well so far this season but the horses Cheltenham record reads 6 runs 5 wins and one 2nd, I believe he is a half a stone better at Cheltenham than at any other course.
Liam
Agreed. Aintree will suit him better so may wait & back him there should he race. no denying his ability howver.
Barstool
Result of the 2.50 Hereford....
1st. Maktu
2nd. The Very Man
3rd. Penneck
Distance - Head, Short Head
What a finish.
At least my each way double is still on, plus my £10 straight on Swords.

and its brilliant to see!
anyone think old red nose ferguson has got to rafa and liverpool?

petrot chelly
liverpool have buckled.They have too many average players on their team.Look at Utd team and Liverpools.Pool have stevie g and torres who would get on for the champions and that is it.They are not strong enough ! simple!
barny boatman
To be honest it's no surprise to see Liverpool fold. I expected it and I'm sure many others did.
Barny
So Alonso, Mascherano, Carragher and Reina aren't Champions League quality???
B*****ks!!!
Liam
Looking ahead to the weekends FA Cup games I think the bet of the weekend is Man Utd -1 against Spurs.
Boylesports have Utd at 4/9 so -1 would be slightly worse than Evs and that looks tasty.
I think Harry Redknapp wants out of the FA Cup a.s.a.p so that he can concentrate on the League, the Carling Cup and Europe, in that order of importance and he has already said that he will not be fielding a full strength squad at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Liam
Fergie has also stated that he field a weakened team if Utd have a weak team!
Liam,no one said they were not champions league quality if you read my original post a chara.
barny boatman
just a quick question that is buzzing around work this morning.
Why will none of the big so called 4 not take the gamble and sign Tim Cahill.Great player,scores important goals and what a header of the ball
Fred The Red
MOZAYADA, who i've posted up here alot of times runs again today in the 2.30 Southwell. Competitive race but horse owes me nothing so I will have a punt. Majuro/Nightjar the other 2 big dangers
Barstool
Also hope you got on Bridgewater Boys (e/w) as I advised yesterday. 3rd @ 16/1
Barstool
Tim Cahill--Excellent player---would thrive in a bigger team
Mackers
Arteta is far better than Cahill but I agree that he would do well in a top 4 team.
Liam
I would take Cahill any day before Arteta purely for his goal scoring ability which in any team for a midfielder is priceless
petrot chelly
Arteta finds the net at times too! I think it's 3 in his last 3 or 4 matches.
He is an all round better player than Cahill though which is why he's linked with the likes of Arsenal and bigger clubs abroad.
Liam
Cahill was always the 'bigger name' & supposed better player at Everton but his injuries over past couple of seasons gave Arteta the chance to 'shine' & take headlines, which he has done.
If I had to pick one over the other I'd still stick with Cahill
Barstool
Terrible racing today - one horse that might pop up is Tastes Like More in the 2.50 but that will still not tempt to leave my warm seat in work for a punt!
Cahill for me too.His allround game and engine is worth far more to everton than arteta
mackers
John 3:16
Had £10 on Scholes to score first and Man Utd to win 2-0 tonight.

Spurs have signed Wilson Palacios subject to him gaining a work permit. This is a great signing for us as the guy was wanted by Man U, Man City and a few foreign clubs too.
We are also interested in bringing Italian hot-head Marco Matterazzi in from Inter Milan. He can be a bit of a bad boy but I think Spurs need a fiery player at present which is why Craig Bellamy would have been a decent signing.
Liam
Listen Liam,if man u come calling as well as spurs the only reason you go to spurs is because you dont want to sit on the bench at the theatre of dreams.
As said before on this blog,Spurs are just one of Man Utds many feeder clubs.Any good players only play for a few years at 3 point lane then leave to join a big club
Raffo
Liam i have 4 answers for you
1.World club champions
2.Premier league champions
3.Champions league winners
4.Charity Shield winners
Put that along with your millions Spurs are spending and are still joint bottom of the league---man u's feeder club Liam...remember that!!!
Good Luck

That's the funny thing, Man Utd fans sleg Spurs fans for going on about winning the Carling Cup yet they yap on about winning the Charity Shield!!

Best of luck but if I had a right few quid I would lay the both of them all day for you!!

Listen folks the language on here today was out of line - taking no sides, but I prefer bloggers on here to voice an opinion.. respect each others views and try and get on a wee bit more..
Close enough call with my double last night.
Can I ask why you would have so confidently laid my bet last night Liam?
Barstool
Watching that match last night I must admit that Spurs did not deserve the result. Burnley just simply wanted it more and after supporting Spurs all my life and watching them for over 20 years I must say that last night was one of, if not the worst performance I have ever seen.
I'm happy that we're in the final but I must say that we probably don't deserve to be there.
Liam
Barstool
Simply because I thought Spurs and the Glens wouldn't be beaten.
Like you said, it was a close call.
Liam
Well Burnley, if they had any ambition left to get to the final had to go at spurs & the 3-0 scoreline in 90mins suggested they did, didn't see the match. Thats why I backed them, too big a price.
As for Portadown, everybody seems to have forgotten about them just because they are in the championship. People dont realise they have kept their entire first team from last season, which has been a match for Blues & Glens in recent times, so were hugely overpriced IMO.
Close but not just close enough!
Good racing at Naas today...
Barstool
Barstool
I think you mean Gowran Park!
I'm still trying to pick a bet for Sunday's Irish Champion Hurdle on Sunday. With the ground forecast to be soft at least Brave Inca has been backed from 8/1 into 5/2 fav and previous fav Sublimity has drifted.
At the minute it looks as though I'm gonna give SIZING EUROPE one more chance. He has won on soft and finished a close 2nd on heavy so I just think that if he handles the ground he will have too much speed for Brave Inca who needs further than 2m these days. Muirhead is the danger I reckon.
Liam

If he scores a second goal you get back £100.00
If he scores a third you get back £145.00
Apologies....have Naas in my head as have a word for a horse running there in couple of weeks time....
I also think I will be backing Sizing Europe. Casting my mind back to this race last year (also on soft/yielding ground), ya couldn't have not been impressed with his win, hence all the hull-a-baloo come Cheltenham about him followed by the disappointment (a trend which has continued).
Gamble on Brave Inca cannot be ignored however...
Barstool
Brave Inca has a heart like a lion and will battle on all day but he is a better horse over further than 2m these days, in saying that I wouldn't be surprised if he wins. But I just think that if Sizing Europe handles the ground he will be too quick for Brave Inca. The worry though is that Sizing Europe is similar to Harchibald were he looks to be tanking along towards the end of a race yet when push comes to shove he folds.
Liam
good oul plug for sean grahams there...

2 horses that I must mention today. All I can say is that the guy who is supplying these is the guy who gave me the 2 winners (Paddy Joe 4/1 and Nataani 8/1) on New Years Eve that netted me over £300. He's also the guy that tipped me Miss Mitch (won 8/1, I got 9's) on Saturday and Bundle of Fun (3rd at 20's, I got 33's) also on Saturday.

what a mess spurs are in and its great to see.
old harry "bung" redknapp is now blaming the previos manager in a mad rant on tv.
hopefully the football gods will look down on the rest of us and spurs will be relegated.
Their players are all nancy boys and are worried more about their cars and money than playing for their shirt.defoe,woodgate,lennon and bentley are 4 perfect examples.They are mercenaries and are not worried about spurs only about their cars...look at man u...rooney,neville,vidic all play for their shirt and team..
spurs for relegation!
connor h.
French Ties is 25/1 outsider for the 3.45 at Gowran, hopefully he can run into a place!!
Liam
No joy. Hopefully Fabulous Fred can end the day for me with a winner.
Liam
Fabulous Fred 2nd at 4/1. Was backed from 4/1 into 11/4 fav but drifted out again.
Liam
Right folks, this is my last post on the blog. I've found a better one where the bloggers actually talk sport and talk sense. Apart from Barstool and the blog creator I can't think of another person who talks sense on here.
Anyway, I said a couple of days ago that Man U were a free one against Spurs on Saturday and that I was going to back them -1 because they were 4/9. They have now benn cut to 1/3 so that has ruined that bet.
Liam
apologies lads....just spat he dummy out earlier ...
everyone is entitled to their opinion.I am just in a mood because spurs are in a mess
Liam
just came across the blog.
best sports blog around i must say but some people seem to take it a little bit too seriously and are falling out with other bloggers.I think all that is said is mostly tongue in cheek and is mostly a windup so calm down Liam and dont take it too seriously.
