Euro League Weekly.

[ENGLISH]

Awaiting team news on Ipswich, and i will post a piece on the cup games, as i had a good day on them yesterday, 100%. Balls to Watford.

Singapore.
Super Reds, 54-24+18+16=64. Geylang, 37-38-2+10=7-, Gap 57+, Home win, F17 M24.

It is make or break time for the Super Reds today, as they face Geylang in a match they cannot afford to lose.
Even though the Koreans can mathematically catch up with the league leaders should they lose this game, any three points that are lost at this late stage of the season will be a big blow to the title contenders.
Any thought of losing, though, is something which the Super Reds’ coach is not considering. A full squad, able to score and defend as well as any top world team, exept perhaps Chelsea.
The Geylang manager has no illusions, he expects to lose and is likely to rest key players in readyness for the next game, of which, with 3 points he may climb the table by a spot to secure a little more prize money.
The Super Reds are on a roll at the moment and they have a proud home record, With a home advantage they are tough opponents, for any team.

[ENGLISH]

Southampton v Ipswich.
Southampton, without midfielders Holmes, Euall, defenders Lancashire, Svensson, are crossing their fingers tonight in the hope that Top players, Striker Walters and midfielder Quinn will be sidelined along with defending duo, Mcauley and Thatcher, both the key men are carrying knocks but I am sure they will feature at all cost, if not then Ipswich will go home empty handed.

Norwich v QPR.
Both teams will be unchanged from the weekend wins, tho Norwich could not improve if they had to make changes, QPR on the other hand have a whole host of talent to call upon, Blackstock to score is a forgone conclusion?
The strongest teams are the aways in these two matches.

Champions League.

As I mentioned earlier, I did very well yesterday tho normally I am hit and miss in most Cup games, I have gone into all Web sites and expect another win.
Dynamo Kiev v Arsenal.
D Kiev, strong at home and have had the pleasure of beating Arsenal in the past, they have a full squad and are on top of their game. Arsenal, with Nasri and Silvestrie out are fielding a starting line up that should, at the moment beat anyone, had they not been so strong I would have given Kiev, but. Away win.

Steaue v Bayern.
Defender and skipper Radoi along with defenders Emeghara, Golanski, Midfield, Petre, Plesan. Nicolita are all out for Steaue. Bayern, without midfielders Ribery, Altintop, and Sognal. Just enough for Bayern to get the result.

Celtic v Aalborg.
Both have full squads, but with McDonald and Hesserlink playing in tandem I will see a heavy defeat for Aalborg.

Real Madrid v Bate, No surprises.

Man Utd v Villareal.
Midfielders Carrick and Scoles are out, but Golden balls is on the bench, the whole stadium will erupt when he comes on, that is of coarse if he doesn’t start, Tevez and him on the score sheet. These two have drawn games prior 0-0 and 1-1 I think. Villareal have strengthened up front, but sods law, the two new strikers Nihat and Rossi are out. Home win.

[ENGLISH]

Bray wanderers v Bohemians. Ireland.

Make a list of all the games, today just one. Check Wsn or whoever that their information is up to date, today i am using SV.
Go to Tables, from the full table take goals scored and goals conceded for both teams, Bray, 12-23. Bohemians, 20-7. Go to the home table, deduct goals conceded from goals scored, Bray, 12-23-3, now the away table, Bohems 20-7+6, Now to results, take the last 2 home games for Bray, give 3 points per goal scored, deduct 3 for conceded, give 5 points per win and 2 point per draw, then do the same for Bohemians aways, Bray, 12-23-3-1=-15. Bohems, 20-7+6+16=35. Basic Gap 50 away win.
Go now to Gap 2.
Visit team web sites or whatever and find the key players, deduct points as follows for missing key's. No1 Goalie 10 points, Skipper 5 points, Talisman( usually top scorer) 15 points, every goal scored for the season 1 point, every goal assist 2 points.
Bray have no missing players, so their rating, 12-23-3-1-0=-15.
Bohemians have 6 key players missing = -55, so, 20-7+6+16-55=-20. Gap 5 home win.

Commentary.
Bray have had a rough time of late but are set to regain some earlier form as they have strengthened midfield and back line the new players will feature today. Bohemians have 3 games in hand due to the Intertoto of which they had a blow to moral when being dumped out by Riga, worse news is the amount of key players that are out for tonight. Central defender Oman, striker Byrne, midfielders Cronin, Rossiter, Kelly, and top scorer and Talisman Brennan. A 55 point deduction is an estimate as team info is poor, but my guess in British football is on par with Spock. Home win, Take 1X if it suits.

Lovely !

If after this analysis Home team won't win (or draw at least) then they should stop playing soccer and go to Casino !!!

Thank you John !

Sorry but I don't see this game at the bookies for today. The only Irish game is Dundalk-Shelbourne.

[ENGLISH]

Sorry boys and girls, this game was played months ago, the reason its posted? Someone asked how to work the Gap. But not to disapoint, a few more weeks and every post by me will be full Gap comentaries.

Blagged by draws yesterday, when the selected teams had every chance to win. My confidence is growing for the weekend, the teams are selected, research complete, just putting things into prespective befor i post. Tonight, another crack at Cup games, awaiting team news.

[ENGLISH]

I am only covering the English side of things re team news, tho I am proficient at any league study, noting key players is a problem, so it may appear that I am Bias, Any person wishing to comment on opposing sides is more than welcome, tho I am mind set on Villa and City to win away, team news on Everton, Spurs, Pompey has yet to materialize.

Lovech v Aston Villa.
Striker Carew is out, with Midfielder Young a serious doubt, Abhonlahor will be alone up front with Barry behind and Milner on the far left. These are the three keys. Aston Villa travel to Bulgaria to win. Away win.

Omonia v Man City.
Strikers Benjani, Bojinov, Winger Petrov are out, a whole host of strikers are available and will be serviced by the wingers Robinho and Wright- Philips. 7,ooo,ooo is the big prize, but its peanuts to the new owners, but they want silver wear and this cup is the only one likely this season. Away win.

[ENGLISH]

Everton v Standard.
Just 3 players out of the squad see Everton present a clear intent to their supporters, a team capable of beating anyone. 2 strikers up, including Top man Yakubu, behind in midfield are Arteta and Cahill, unlike Man City at the moment having hit the post twice, Everton's strike force will not miss chances, i dont expect to many goals as Standard are tight, but a home win is for me.
A result with Aston Villa, and City must surley hit the inside netting soon.
Postings tomorrow will be for the weekend.

[ENGLISH]

I have recieved no losses thus far this week and only QPR went under 2.5 goals, which leeds me to today, I was only going to post weekenders but i do see a pattern, and i intend to capitulate. I am playing every game to win plus over 2.5. I am confident of getting a return on all.

Holland 2.
Haarlem v Den Bosch, Gap 25, Home win, F5 M6.

Austria 1.
Rapid v Ried, Gap 53, Home win, F7 M8.

Austria 2.
Gratkorn v Tyrol, Gap 30, Away win, F6 M7.

Germany 2.
Mainze v Nurnberg, Gap 19, Home win, F4 M4.
St, Pauli v 1860, Gap 25, Home win, F4 M4.

Ireland 2.
Limerick v Monaghan, Gap34, Home win, F19 M26.

[ENGLISH]

A long night ahead as i await team news, if i do not get the news i want i will drop games out of hand. So much for tonights Overs, 3 flops. Both the German picks won so, only profit to come.

Birmingham v Blackpool.
Without loss and no points dropped at home, one key missing, defender Parnaby, sees Birmingham brimming with confidence, tho the boss will not allow complacency among his players, dropping a point away is acceptable in this league but to drop points at home is unthinkable for this premiership side.
Blackpool have players with knocks and key players at that, strikers Kabba, Nordello, have late tests, midfielder Wright is out, as importantly as any to be missed the weak defense is weaker with top defender Crainey out. Blackpool know what to expect, a full stadium and a Brum side prepared to show the supporters whats on offer. Home win.
