Hello

West Ham - Wolves

Game of the month at least

Pick: Home win

Apart from 'off the pitch' reasons - some people want proof of their FA connections or bought games - maybe you want VAT invoice think a bit! - West Ham are collecting points like crazy in last games and they play attractive football and squad is interesting - this team definitely does not deserve relegation.

First game of these teams draw 1-1 at Wolves West Ham were much better and did not get 100% penalty in injury time - West Ham must win games now before Chelsea or Man Utd or Arsenal will arrive - no time and space to lose any points especially in home games with oppositionof that kind. Wolves won away at Liverpool so the pressure is relieved a bit and they played pathetic game at Anfield but I said never play on the Reds this seaslon and Wolves play good games with top or so called top teams.

West Ham will win this game no time and space for other results 

Stoke - Everton Stoke DNB
Home team very good and extremely unconvenient at home. OK last time they lost to Fulham but it could be reciprocating for points given to West Ham three days earlier by people steering this league and Stoke had much better stats in game against Fulham - just Chris Baird scored twice out of the blue and after two games lost it's time to strike back.
One or two seasons ago I would play on Everton but this team has no future with this policy: they did not buy quality striker all the games rely on wingers and midfield - they are one of the best in league but team must score and WIN GAMES to be high in standings. Everton usually wins unexpectadly or in Merseyside derby however they have a lot of draws and pla better away than at home so let's cover it with DNB ption but to be honest I see Stoke winnig this game
Stoke - Everton 1-0 not many goals also playable

Birmingham - Arsenal Birmingham DNB
A lot depends here o Arsenal lineup but Birmingham will create a hell lot of resistace you and me can be sure. Home team lost only one home game in about last 25! With Arsenal they have additional motivation, I don't know why but they even break legs like Eduardo had. A lot of good results with Arsenal for team from St Andrews in last years. Many people sees as game with United Blues did not deserve to take point - maybe but they played with a lot of respect - this will be more open game and I dare say Birmingham will rather win tha lose this game but of course another draw is not excluded at all. Arsenal very strange policy in Wigan game lineup experiments - do thy care about the title? I don't think so this team will never win anything this started five years ago and will last another 25 at least
Birmingham - Arsenal 2-1 1-0

Let's continue run of happiness 
And - Agata - Always remember - you are the winner ;)
See you everyone
 

Always Remember you are the winner Agata

140. Chelsea - Bolton Bolton + 2 @ 1,66 Canbet

141. Wigan - Arsenal Wigan + 1 @ 2 Stan James

142. Liverpool - Wolves Wolves DNB @ 9,55 Betfair

Hello

more interesting things to do this evening than writing a long story and West Ham does not play today ;)

In normal circumstances no way Chelsea wins by more than one goal - team is in slump and there is no way out possibly players are against manager Ancelotti. Bolton has good position in table and plays attacking football hopefully they will not be scared

Wigan a lot of easy games until end of February apart from two games with Arsenal. One of them should be won like last year

Wolves plays with teeth grit with top teams. Won over City and lost in last minutes with Chelsea or MU away. Reds are a joke team this season top players have identity crisis - Wolves has no other choice than go for a win here

That's it for today have a nice evening AGATA

Hello

Today's picks are mostly against the public. Everyone thinks that Blackburn or Fulham are rubbish because of last time's pathetic display. I told you West Ham and Stoke went for a win there especially first heroes because of 'off the pitch reasons' - time for balloon t explode and teams like WBA or Stoke will explode very soon

City should win game with Villa please read Boxing Day comment what is going on in Villa but I have a sneaky feeling handicap is way too high on guests which will be irritated by second home defeat on Saturday. Team still has some quality and may surprise one time or another especially if City struggle at home many times this season. Handicap + 1.25 means we are cashing in even if City will win by one goal which also will not be easy - Newcastle game was won in first five minutes thanks to giveaway day by Tim Krul City is also not 100% team

After Fulham - West Ham result majority of people think Fulham is near the bottom and lose this game easily or not but lose - I don't think so. I will write special post about situation with West Ham in free time but tragic team wo game in Craven Cottage and Stoke won away - this is potential trap  - Stoke is not quality team to take such games easily remember game with Blackpool. Fulham not to lose this game

Sunderland will win today. Some miracles happened and half of the city is healthy one day after game with Man United. Fit Sunderland is way too strong for anonymous newcomers and will cook them. Handicap options also playable but straight home win we have nice odds and I'm on it.

I see Tottenham - Newcastle game as a potential landmine. Those are friendly teams at least as far as owners are concerned. Mike Ashley is pure Londoner and fan of Tottenham (bought northern team because bigger power bought Tottenham) but 'Cockney fatman' is still in good relations with Tottenham management. He shipped them already Sebastian Bassong and big transfer may be done in January: swap Andy Carroll - Robbie Keane + Peter Crouch + money is possible and may bring a lot of beefits for every side apart from Newcastle fans side. Great display of Andy Carroll today may only increase the price. Other reasons are: Defoe red card, Van Der Vaart still not 100% fit after what I saw on Villa park and Newcastle result with City deludes everyone. This team can afford epic performances as proven many times this season already. Even away win is possible today!

I can write a long story about West Ham in my opinion they will win game over Everton and don't believe 'Experts' West Ham is tired after Fulham game. This team will be winning and safe because of 'far from the pitch' reasons the question is only which games they will select to win. Everton is a partner to talk in this case like in 2007.

What can I say about West Ham roster? From what I saw yesterday I would not risk a single penny on this team if I did not study their connections. Victor Obinna should be back to reinforce forward yesterday's forward was tragic players like Ben Haim means someone has big laudry in this club

Nevertheless West Ham at least not to lose this game is my pick of the day yet again

Good luck for today let's go for clean sweep again

A lot of games today and I have an early view which is I admit based more on weather and behind the scenes action than on sport based factor. Many positive handicaps as I think it will be hard to break theoretically weaker teams and in Christmas period we generally not see many goals.

First game is ne of the most obvious for me as West Ham has no choice must start collecting points now, before games with Chelsea or Arsenal come again. This team has a lot of FA connections and gets a helping hand many times should be relegated many times but still treading above the water. This seasoon thy just have to stay in league pressure is huge. Team has no manager I mean no manager hired on content-related basics just on national basics and results are poor. Team has interesting squad and plays better than results indicate and has no other choice tha go for a win in every match every point is priceless. Fulham trip they definitely treat as opportunity to make some points up and know this rival very well. West Ham were so close many times to away win (hit the post last week in Blackburn and being much better in second half) so they will go for point(s) on Craven Cottage. I think West Ham has squad able to get at least draw from this game.

Blackburn new manager without experience and I wonder who gives ideas to new club owners - they hired manager delivering constatntly certain level of services and entertainment and hired Mr Nobody. I bet they will pay for this team will struggle players like chris Samba will leave - Stoke are vultures in such situations and will go for a win here.

Liverpool woeful away form and another game they seem to gt nothing away because of Hodgson policy nothing more to talk about here as game could be called off - regardless of absences and rivals Liverpool should be naver favourite in away games

Bolton - WBA is a bit suspiciously high odds on home win taht's why I will not choose straight home win which in normal cirrcumstaces is the most obvious pick. 70% chances home team will win here but they already stumbled with Blackpool so the handicap -0.25 seems to be logical conclusion

Everton - Birmingham after away win with City where they had 4 shots and zero corners in whole game they have to face defensive-minded team quite hard to beat although rarely winning. I am sure Everton in home games where they seem to be clear favourite will be in trouble to break the opponent. They lost ad drew many 'easy' home games this season and I will never trust this team without quality strikers anymore. Birmingham should not even lose this game but + 1 handicap is so large it is hard not to take. One of the two most obvious picks for today

MU nearly always struggling this season winning the most games with one goal margin scoring often in injury time but they still win a lot and are clear leaders (with two games in hand). Sudderland for this game has suddenly seven absentees (which I thing will be fully back for next game) and I think what is going one. The fact is both managers are friends but for Steve Bruce duels with Ferguson are prestigious and he gives a hard fight. Even if United will winwith one goal margin handicap is on our side - playing Rooney means relax for Sunderland goalkeeper it should not be MU - Blackburn repeat

Man City will meet definitely hard resistance in Newcastle - home team has big firepower: Carroll, Nolan and will give a fight like in the game with Chelsea about month ago. City is a bit better team and last home defeat should help them to put things together and go for a win if they still want to be in contention. They won clearly a lot away games this season and in my opinion have slight but edge here. Away win DNB is also option because to be honest draw is more realistic result than away win - City will not have an easy life in that game

Wolves is a 'sheam'  and odds for home win in Wigan game are far too short. It could have a point if it would be an arranged home win which will not be a case. Relegation battle and away team will give a desperate fight. They have 'striker killer' Al Habsi on goal which already denied many teams from scoring in last months. Wigan is not rival you can win 4-0 or 6-0 anymore for some time. They have players which can have a bright moments out of the blue and experience from rescuing themselves from relegation. They have to fight today.

Aston Villa is youngster's selling club according to Randy Lerner and club will be in huge trouble this and maybe next season. It is their choice I only regret beguiled fans which are 90% of them very nice and friendly people. Some power is steering from above and behind and club with heart and tradition is a business tool in last fourteen games they won only two with surrounding clubs (WBA and Wolves) I see no way they win today with wide developed and rostered guests. Away win DNB

GL and cheers

20th December City - Everton game

123. Man City - Everton 1 @ 1,83 Pinnacle 

Only one result for me here. Everton can give sometimes hard resistance against top teams but this will not be the time to get anything in my opinion. Tevez will play and has to play and when he plays he always gives 100%. Unles big striker signings or Donovan will arrive Everton will sink in the table they are already deep. Too big quality difference, too big opportunity for leading the table efor Christmas. In my opinion Citizens will beat Everton. Good luck

18th December only one game today

122. Blackburn - West Ham West Ham DNB 3.66 Pinnacle


1. Blackburn sacked manager Allardyce on Monday
2. There is a big rumour Allardyce will be new West Ham manager
3. Blackburn play West Ham tomorrow at home
4. Blackburn paid Allardyce compensation for breaching contract few millions => hole in budget - new Blackburn owners are not too generous
5. West Ham has to stay in the league just has
6. For an away win theoretically West Ham may cover budget hole for West Ham and three points are won - I am considering away win very strong at delicious odds
7. 'Great escape' in 2007 started from away win at Blackburn - this was a big circus
From WHU website
Jonathan Spector knows a thing or two about Hammers survival battles.
The US defender was a big part of the West Ham United squad that won seven of the last nine matches in the 2006/07 to stay up against all the odds. The first match of that memorable magnificent seven? Blackburn Rovers away on 17 March 2007.
8. This club should be relegated years ago and struggling nearly every season after Curbishley departure but has very good relations with FA and in my opinion club has special treatment
9. I am not saying West Ham has bought three points tomorrow but there are some strange moves around this game
10. There is also contradiction: if West Ham wins away Grant will be safe (I believe Jew will never give a Jew bad treatment so Grant is safe) and Allardyce will not come to West Ham - so in my opinion even if spread well rumour is still a rumour

11. Blackburn new owners are under heavy fire from British media and sport people but I believe they know what they are doing and will be OK - in my opinion they will lose today and appoint new manager next week and fans and media will be calmed down

I m going for away win in this game never would risk a pence in club on artificially triggered turmoil. Away win

17th December Carlos Tevez situation

Hi let me write about Carlos Tevez's dispute wit Man City management - my point of view.

He is a little child crying but cashing big money to play for Man City - he is to play football not comment situation - if I was manager I would never let him go but placed on a bench and break his career - with this approach he has nothing to search for in a world of professional football. He is good but his behaviour outside the pitch is childish and adolescent. The same if I was a manager of any club I would never hire him this is potential ticking bomb.
I repeat Teves should focus on playing football nothing more as he has in contract - conflicts have nothing to do in adult life you have to sort it out he is not six years old come on be a man.
e is a very simple man from Argentinian village on etime missing for his home and family another one wants transfer request - this is ridiculous and for me City board should put him in reserves or in a bench if after talk he will still criticise club. They have all the cards contract until 2014 and the lub is side which set rules here.
Probably it's all aboutth money (like Rooney but I still believe Rooney will go out) some misterious agents (Kia Joorabchian) are around Tevez (and Macherano) and they adviced him to argue  - anyway club's  way of dealing all this  may be man to man talk and radical action. Carlos  Tevez has little (if nothing) to say

See you tomorrow another Premiership day
