Euro League Weekly.

[ENGLISH]

The Ipswich boss is focused on the Championship but would love to get a result here, if nothing else to give his squad a jab in the arm, he knows Wigan are tough and I think he will rest keys along with his injured striker, We shall see. Wigan have one doubt, striker Zaki on a late test, they made it clear in beating Rovers 4-0 that they do not expect silverwear from the primo league, but only to survive in the premiership. A cup run will be good for morale and as the Rovers, game you can expect a first choice Eleven. Away win.

[ENGLISH]

Aston Villa are resting several keys, but the squad is small and full of talent, I see nothing less than a home win against a QPR who have lots of money but are not spending.

Brighton with a capacity crowd, have a tactic of kick and hope, no goals here. City want cups, and can more or less buy them, no chances to be taken with the new owners looking over everyone’s shoulder, Away win with away goals.

Paul Ince has injuries with the midfield very depleted; he has 6 keys missing and will rest more. Everton see an opportunity to progress, I bet Everton to nick it.

Toons v Spurs. Lots of players out and with knocks for theToons, means the caretaker manager will play the best at his disposal in the hope of giving someone something to cheer about. Spurs have the players to go far, but they are all firing blanks, Defending their crown may bring them out of their misery, Ramos will throw all in to win this, a win will be the kick up the arse, as needed. Away win.

No losses.

[ENGLISH]

Ok some losses but 50% is ok for cup games, I love Chelsea.

A few for today with top ratings and reasonable prices.

Russia.
Nosta Novo v Salut Belgorad, Gap 67, Home win @ 1.65.

Finland.
Vaasa v Honka, Gap 67, Away win @ 1.72.
Lahti v Rops, Gap 69, Home win @ 1.5.

Belarus.
Smorgon v Ripo, Gap 80, Away win @ 1.66.

One for the telly, Spain.
Malaga v Valencia.
One place of the bottom table with just one point and one goal from 3 outings, Malaga greet the league leaders Valencia, who without loss thus far, look to strengthen their hold over probable champions Real Madrid. Away win.

[ENGLISH]

Sod Ripo, but a good day, just Valencia to go, A long list of worries for the Valencia coach but he will field his best strike force and hope as i do, that goals for, will weigh heavier than goals conceded 75% of todays profit on the Away win, with the remainder on over 2.5.

For tomorrow my work is done, tho i may look at a Gap 1 game or two, my focus will be mainly on the weekend.

Southend’s Talisman, midfielder McCormack and Moussa are ready for the return, giving the boss a headache in team selection, tho with the Talisman in the dressing room or on the bench will lift the squad dramatically, The top man’s spot has been filled of late by loanee Sawyer who has done ok, but no where near as well as McCormack will do, I am 95% certain that the Jock will play. Leyton, do have the basic Gap advantage and will be pleased to see striker Dawkins return, but now striker Jeffery joins Grey, S, Granville, D, Mkandiwire, D, on the injury list. The biggest disappointment to the fans has been to see Skipper Thornton go out on loan? A home advantage of one goal, Home win.



Tranmere, going 0-2 up at Rotherham with a brace from Greenacre, had a lapse in concentration in the second half, allowing the game to finish 2-2. The striker Greenacre has found his boots and I expect him to score at every outing. Poor defending for Colchester has seen them secure an emergency loan of a defender, Going down 0-2 and 0-3 in the last two homes, has seen a big influential change, The manager is sacked, The caretaker boss hopes his loan will improve his prospects of a full time job, but I think Denis Wise has a better chance. Again a home advantage of one goal with Greenacre making his mark. Home win.

Morning lads, am back ashore now. Got called away to cover for some guy needing compassionate leave. Will be coverin some games in Scotland the morra, am a wee bit rusty!

[ENGLISH]

Welcome back Dan.

A pleasing day yesterday, don’t forget the UK games tonight as posted. A few more games for today, starting with the early Singapore kick off, more will follow as the afternoon ticks on.

KSR at the top of the table and want to stay their, tho showing complacency last week with Geylang it changed after the half time talk and a different outlook ensued, a narrow win but a lesson learnt, a full squad is up a ready today with only victory on the mind. Mid table dwellers Gombak have a weakness in the back line and with a farther key suspended today it bodes well for the KSR strikers. Home win. @ 1.6.

[ENGLISH]

A shakey start with draw.

France.
Nimes v Ajaccio, Gap 37, Away win. 2.6.

Ireland.
Shamrck v Bohemian, Gap 51, Away win.

Cork v UCD, Cork are hot favs but what do they have to play for? granted they look to have improved financially but have sold a couple of keys, including Irelands top striker. UCD are fighting to remain in this league and travel with a full squad, X2 for me.

Drogheda have a long list of missing players and are down to just one striker. Again the visitors, Galway are fighting for their lives, but fancy getting something here with a full first eleven. X2.

Germany.
Koln v Shalke. The away side are strong and are getting the disired results, tho got pegged back to a draw last week after going 0-3 in the first half. No mistakes tonight, Away win.

Austria.
FC Lust v Tirol, F8 M10.

Romania.
Pol Lasi v Poli T, F6 M8.
Already in sorry. Bistrita v Bucharest F6 M8.

Well lads, another day another round of Jock games!
Celtic v Aberdeen : Put simply Celtic are currently too strong for Aberdeen. Although they always raise their game against the Old Firm, Aberdeen come off the back off a 4-2 trouncing by Killy in the cup. There is very little confidence in the team, and Miller has had to come out in support of manager Calderwood. A poor start to the season that will continue here
Hibernian v Rangers : I'll be backing the Gers here, although we made heavy going of Partick Thistle in the cup. While a lot of chances were missed, as long as Mendes and Boyd continue their form we should nick it by the odd goal. With top scorer Nish out for Hibs, i think they will lack the firepower required although they welcome back favourite son Riordan. Not an easy game but Rangers class should see them through
Motherwell v St.Mirren : Nice odds for Motherwell here, around the 2 mark. Motherwells position is terrible and stats look very poor until you check who they have played. Last 2 games were against the Old FIrm (Rangers and Celtic) and prior to that they beat Hibs. They had a very tough fixture list to start the season and they should start the ball rolling here. Manager McGhee has said he has one eye on Europe before this game so he wont risk players, but go for the early goals and defend. Far from a foregone conclusion but i fancy Motherwell at those odds!

Good luck lads,
Danny

A great result already, i have won a bucket load on Motherwell. I cant see why out of all our readers you have not been accordingly complimented. Obviously there are to many posts of matches in this thread for people to apprieciate the work hours gone in, I am at fault, and i appologise to you, Croatia, and whomever. I will in future streamline, in the hope that this thread will work as intended. If not,....
