Wednesday Treble
by Wakuba on Aug.19, 2009, under News
There are four interesting fixtures in the Premier League tonight – and we’re picking results from three of them. The one we’re ignoring is Liverpool Stoke, as 1/4 is just too short.
Hull v Spurs
Spurs started excellently and will be keen to maintain that form. Hull were unlucky against Chelsea, but it was a poor performance from the Londoners. Spurs are a cut above quality wise and playing well, and should get something from the game.
Burnley v Man Utd
United are 1/3 in this one, which although clearly a short price is still decent for them. They are always strong against the weaker sides, especially those that try and play football against them. Burnley could struggle.
Birmingham v Portsmouth
Birmingham looked solid against United first up, and could have nicked a draw on another day. Portsmouth are in disarray at the moment, and their deflated players will struggle to get anything from St Andrews.
The treble on these three is 5.21/1 with Paddy Power, and worth a small interest.
Spurs, Man Utd, Birmingham treble @ 5.21/1 (Paddy Power) – 1 point

Second batch of Carling Cup games
by Matt on Dec.03, 2008, under Selections
Watford play Spurs tonight, and Man Utd host Blackburn.
With the demise of the Premiership sides last night, we think Harry Redknapp will have one eye on the trophy, and will field a close-to-full strength side. Spurs should have too much for Watford; and we would go for a Spurs win, despite the short odds… as we always say, any winning bet is better than any loser.
Spurs @ 1.74 (Betfair)
The other game is more difficult to call. Utd are obviously, all things being equal, favourites – but this will not be top of their priorities and there is a strong chance they will field a weakened side. Blackburn, however, will see this as welcome release from their Premiership travails – and half a chance for some sliverware. Win tonight and only Spurs can stand in their way.
Our advice is to wait for the team news… if Utd field a strong team their odds will be prohibitive, but if they go with a weakened line up the value may be with Blackburn who are currently trading at 6.4.
Depending on team news; Blackburn @ 6.4 (Betfair)
