The Beer Hunter

The Beer Hunter

Weekly EPL Betting.

At the start of the season, one firm offered odds on which was more likely to occur, Charlton will play Chelsea in a top of the table encounter or Robbie Savage will win ‘Player’s player of the year’. After last season’s end of season collapse by Charlton, my cash went on the hairy Welshman receiving a new trophy for the caravan.

Unusually; my choice has proved to be incorrect.

The Champions head to the Valley knowing that a two goal reversal would knock them from the Premiership summit, but as they are yet to concede a single goal this term, Chelsea are the team we’ll build the accer around, get on at 1/2.

A Manchester United victory at Anfield is very much like a London bus, you can go two years without seeing one, then three come along in a row. The United manager can also be compared to a London bus; he’s big, red and can’t be relied upon for time-keeping.

Man U face Liverpool in the game of the week, and United are the pick at 11/8.

Van Nistelrooy has netted in every league match this season, and when Wayne Rooney isn’t fighting with David Beckham or making donations to the elderly, he’s banging in goals. Get on Man U to win, and take an interest at 5/4 about Van the man getting on the score-sheet.

Sunderland are as pointless as a step-ladder in the Crouch residence, but will face West Brom with real confidence. The Baggies have won only 1 of their last 23 on the road, and continue to play Horsfield and Campbell instead of the goal-machine that is Robbie Earnshaw. Back Sunderland at 5/4 to leave the Albion fans more distraught than an Australian cricketer / convict.

Graeme Souness and Craig Bellamy will go face to face for the first time since the Scottish nutcase had the Welsh wrong-un removed. The Geordies have the better players, and must be backed at 9/5; what a way to make a living.

I’ve come to a shocking conclusion; I believe that advertisers do not always tell the complete truth. Half way through a disappointing documentary on water conservation entitled ‘Great Dikes of the 20th Century’, I saw Steve Bruce’s mug on an advert looking very bored by a 0-0 draw at home to Tottenham. As City have lost three out of three at St Andrew’s, the prospect of a goalless draw would have the Birmingham manager sitting on the edge of his seat. That’s fiction, this is fact; the following movie related specials are available at Super Soccer.

“Bruce Almighty” – Any Birmingham substitute to score 4/1
“The Great Heskape” – Heskey to score, and Birmingham to win from behind 25/1
“Speed II” – Gary Speed to score two or more goals 40/1
“Mission Impossible” – Sunderland to win 5/4
“A few dollars more” – Rio Ferdinand to score the last goal 40/1
“Be Tall Juice” – Crouch to score with a header 4/1
“Jarosik Park” – Jiri Jarosik and Park Ji-Sung both to score 22/1
“12 Angry Men” – Blackburn to have a player sent off 11/2
“The Usual Suspects” – Savage and Diouf to be booked 6/1
“Al is in Wonderland” – Shearer to score a hat-trick 25/1
“The Incredible Bulk” – Rooney to score two or more goals 7/1
“Look Who’s Talking” – Rooney to be booked for dissent 8/1
“Shrek” – Rooney to be sent off 20/1
“American Pie” – McBride and Rooney both to score 11/2
“Fatman and Robben” – Rooney and Robben both to score 13/2
“The Old Dear Hunter” – Rooney to score a hat-trick 25/1

Quote of the week:

“F*** o**, you flash c***”

Wayne Rooney makes a fair point…
