English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend Wager

Sporting predictions by Chris Clegg - Putting your money where your mouth is!

A Bridge too far?

Wayne Bridge thought he would show his beloved lady just how much he loved her by sending her a Cadbury's chocolate replica of his private parts. Unfortunately for Wayne, she said she preferred Terry's.

John and his teammates entertain fellow Londoners, Arsenal, on Sunday at the Bridge and the North Londoners will want to bounce back from their drubbing at the feet of Manchester United last week.

John Terry had to put up with lots of unpleasant boos last week at Burnley, but it will be different booze flowing this weekend as Chelsea up their title challenge and inflict more misery on their red rivals. Chelsea to win by a goal and all is forgiven, JT? Well, for the home contingent maybe. Apparently, Terry's planning on stealing a bottle of Champers from the Bridge if they win. Better than what he stole from the Bridge last time, I suppose. (Chelsea 4/5; Arsenal 19/5; 23/10 the draw)

Derby days

It's derby days all round this weekend and another one on Sunday is in the west Midlands as Birmingham welcome the pack of Wolves. McCarthy's men had a good result up in Hull last time out. They didn't win... but they rarely do nowadays and they won't win on Sunday either. To put it simply, Birmingham are better than Wolves and they will prove this with aplomb on Sunday. Trust me, I almost became a doctor; the Wolves will be sent packing this weekend by the 'Bowy'-er, Lee, and co, just as they were at mighty Crystal Palace on Tuesday. Who will score for Birmingham, though? I hear you ask. Probably no-one but the Wolves are that bad they'll probably put a couple through their own net and hand the points on a plate with some cream to the Blues. (Brum 4/5; Wolves 19/5; 23/10 the draw)

All square on Merseyside

It's red versus blue up on Merseyside as the Scousers fight it out. No change there then. I've got a feeling (woooooooooohoooooooooooo!) that the Blues might just steal something from their 'stealy' rivals and my money's on a point apiece. That's right, Scousers, you have to share the spoils. Share and share alike. 1-1. (Liverpool 5/6; Everton 7/2; 12/5 the draw)

No Miracle Granted for Avram

Manchester United play host to pappy Pompey on Saturday and it won't be a pleasant trip for the Southerners. Apparently, Avram's hoping for a miracle but Fergie won't Grant him one. Wayne Rooney's annoying me at the moment as he's scoring too much and it is hurting my fantasy league chances. I preferred him when he scored with grannies in houses of ill repute and couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo on the pitch. Oh well, I suppose it's good for the national team's World Cup chances if he's bagging up (on the pitch that is, not with the grannies). Big win for the reds, methinks. (1/8 United; 22/1 Pompey; 13/2 the draw)

Will Spurs miss Robbie?

Is the Pope Jewish?
No.

I laughed so hard I think I wet myself on Tuesday as a Chavvy, drunken (well, it was 6 in the evening) Celtic fan gloated to Sky Sports News: "That's just won us the league!" He slurred.

"What a signing! One of the best players in the werrrald (world)," he continued. Three hours later and the Hoops were well on their way to a demoralising defeat at Kilmarnock. I'm not being funny but my Nan could beat Kilmarnock. Good debut, Robbie. Still ten-points behind then.

The Spurs will prove that they don't need Mr Keane when Villa come to town on Saturday. Don't get me wrong, the Villa are a tough proposition, or opposition these days and it will be a cracker. Gabbi Abangedawhore has started notching up (about time) and he might just score again this week; Crouch and co will Defoe score more, though. Jermain already has three hat-tricks this season and he might add one or two to those this weekend. Narrow victory for the Londoners here. (Spurs 21/20; Villa 13/5; 23/10 the draw)

Spraying in Hull

City, Manchester thereof, travel across the country to the armpit of the UK, Hull. I'm only kidding, you Humbersiders, armpits can be quite nice if sprayed with a pleasant scent. There is lots of spraying going on in Hull at the moment, from the graffiti artists on the streets; the tomcats down the alleys, and of course in Tan-fastic, which Brown-Orange Phil frequents. If City's players' attitudes are right on Saturday they will batter Brown's men....but will super City turn up, or will they be half asleep? Difficult to predict but I predict a rampant Manchester this weekend, from both teams in the city...and the Saturday night crowd. Big win for the Blues. (Hull 4/1; City 8/11; 5/2 the draw)

Stoke v Blackburn

I don't think this match will entertain so I won't write much about it. Home win. Just. (Stoke 5/4; Blackburn 23/10; 11/5 the draw)

Sunderland v Wigan

Wigan are very inconsistent, as indeed are the black cats these days. I'm not sure what to expect from this encounter but, again, I don't feel that it will be the most enthralling encounter. I think Sunderland are the most likely to get back to winning ways and Bent, Darren, may just get back to his scoring ways. 1-0 Sunderland, Bent to score will get you at least 25/1 at most booookies. Get on it. (Sunderland 1/1; Wigan 14/5; 23/10 the draw)

Bolton wondering: why can't we win?

Up at the Reebok Bolton take on Fulham in what is probably the nailed on draw of the day. There won't be as many draws as I usually predict this week but this one will be. B Z is back for Fulham and I fancy him to get a few more this season but I thought I heard someone tip him for an England call up to South Africa. As they say in the texting world: LOOOOOOOOOOL. Is that right? Or is it LMAO? Well, here's what I think of his chances of getting the nod: NAFC - I'll let you work that one out. Clue: it starts with Not and ends with Chance. Bore draw in Bolton. (Bolton 5/4; Fulham 9/4; 9/4 the draw)

Wager of the Weekend

Bolton Fulham draw (9/4); Stoke to beat Blackburn (5/4); Sunderland to beat Wigan (1/1) and Liverpool Everton draw (12/5). The four-timer at Hills pays nearly 50/1. That's right, almost £500 for your Ayrton Senna - RESULT!

Rooney to pay for your 'Saturday neet in t'club'?

Any hat-trick in the United Pompey encounter is around 7/1 on Betfair. It pains me to say that Rooney will probably get two hat-tricks. A fiver on the 7/1 shot pays for your Saturday night out... well, it does if you go out in Swinton. Ale's still less than £1.80 a pint in the working men's club. GET IN!
