Hate that. Were you aware of the history? I wasn't.

Chucky the tree

that he played for luton, or his recent goalscoring record?

Yeah I mean his Luton history; his recent record was reflected in the price; it was a logical lay.

Not too disappoint in it. He did nothing all game and only scored after Jeromne sliced his shot and then it rebounded of the defender.

The joys of football.

I meant to back Wolves today, what with Barnsley's terrible home defeat to Wednesday, but funds didn't allow.

I really dont like betting on or against Wolves, very difficult team to work out. Home form is usually decent.

Another good few suprises today, lucky i was to hungover to get out of bed.

very impressive start Chucky, keep em coming!!

A few Ante post selections here. Hoping to either let them ride or get a good chance to trade out.

Birmingham City to win tehe championship - Lay @ 2.16 for 50pts(liability 58pts) - Great strikers, **** manager. I'll take the risk.

Derby to win the Championship - Back @ 7.2 for 100pts


Now on to this weekends game. Some tough ties here, so wont be risking too much.

WBA vs Luton
Over 2.5 @ 1.84 - Back 7pts @ 1.83
Correct score 2-0 - Back 1 pts @ 8.6

Hull vs QPR
Hull to win @ 2.24 - 5 pts

Barnsley vs Preston
Preston to win @ 2.32 - 5pts

Will concentrate on home wins this week;

Colchester v Leicester @ 4/5 - Col have won their last 11 games at home in this league - amazing stuff. Leicester will not stop this run.
Southampton v Burnley @ 4/6 - Burnley were v poor last week in the FA Cup against a Reading second strength outfit and haven't won away since Oct. The home team are going in the opposite direction, home record is good, unbeaten in last 8 in this league at home, winning 6 of these.
Sunderland v Ipswich @ 4/5 - Keano will not be happy losing to Preston twice in a week and will have his troops up for this one to get their promotion to the premiership back on track. They are still a little inconsistent but will have the measure of Ipswich who are at best average away from home.

Odds a little skinny @ 4.4 to 1 at PP.
