English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend Wager

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

Weekend Wager - Get your heads and tails on these!

It appears that JT's tail-wagging is over for now and he's gone back to the missus, where the only WAG he'll be doing is her...for now anyway. I'm disappointed in him - he'd done the 'hard' work with all the others and now he's back with his tail between his legs. He's a 'tail' of woe, that lad.
Anyway, on to this week's predictions from me, psychic Clegg - Mystic Meg's 'nowt to come' on me, tha knows! Here goes:

Blackcats' Asses havin' a kickin'?

Arsenal entertain Sunderland at The Emirates on Saturday and there will be no bonus for Brucey et al as my crystal football is showing that there 'ars'es will be 'havin' a kicking at the feet of Andre and co, if he's fit again, that is. I made the mistake of backing him to score first last night against Porto... my crystal football was on the blink. Big up da Wenger boys on Sat, ya get me, blads? At least threes up (calm down, JT) for the reds of London town.

Closer than close at Goodison?

Up in the North West it's red against blue as the devils of Manchester visit the toffee men of Everton. I feel that this one will be close, or as Rosie Gaines once sang 'closer than close'. She always looked as if she'd eaten too much toffee and United will empathise on Saturday as the toffees will provide too much resistance for them. 1-1 draw here, methinks, no scratch that, me knows!

Cheesy Hammers

Back to London now and East Ham, where West Ham play Hull. I like Ham, usually with branston pickle and always with cheese. The cheese will be hard on Phil's Brown bread this Saturday as Hull are hammered into shape by Zola's resurgent boys. The man named Diamante may flourish in his team's one or two goal victory and the bubble-blowers will utter a resounding 'Yes'. Any readers younger than their twenties will wonder what I'm on about. Tough luck, you shouldn't be so young.

Dogs better than Wolves?

The Chelsea pensioners (it's got to be said that JT looks at least fifty since all the shenanigans) head to the Midlands to contend with some wolves. Now, JT knows more than anyone that bitches bite hard when they are riled. Fortunately for the Blues, Wolves' bark is bigger than their bite. I fully expect Chelsea to come away with three points on Saturday with the Drog-dog proving far more lethal than the Wolves-woosies. Alotti goals for Carlo's lot this week.

The Crystal football fails

The other game on Saturday is down on the South coast as Pompey entertain Stoke. Oh dear, my crystal football has just fallen off the table and smashed into pieces...therefore I'm struggling to predict this one. Second draw of the day, perhaps? I would ring Avram for a prediction but he's having a masseuse...I mean a massage. Respect is Granted to his wife, who says she's going with him next time. What was I mentioned about threesomes?

Midday Sun-day

It will be fun on the Sunday this week as there are five, yes five, premiership matches. We start proceedings at Ewood park as the Lancashire derby between Blackbuuuurn and Booowwwlton takes place. A midday kick off is to reduce the amount of drunks entering the ground. Do they not realise that the 12 o clock kick-off simply gives them less time to sober up from their Saturday night antics? Moreover, some pubs in the North West are open 24 hours. Expect a bit of trouble, which will be the most exciting thing taking place. 0-0 on the pitch (the crystal football is fixed).

Not close and no cigar for the Clarets

Burnley travel southwards to the Villa this week and they will be heading back with no cigar. Villa are doing well at the moment and will brush their Brummie rival aside as they push for the European places. Big victory for Gabbi and co. Three or four zip, one predicts.

Harrods' Price

Fulham host Birmingham down at the cottage and both teams are on good form so expect this to be a good game. Birmingham are best priced at around 3/1 which is pretty decent to say they've hardly lost a game in the last ten (I'm afraid I can't be bothered to look up the actual statistic). 21/20 about Fulham is Harrods' price - terrible. I'd get on the draw if I was a betting man (11/5).

A shock

We will finish up in the North West with two matches, the first of which is at Wigan as the blues take on Houdini's Spurs. Even Harry would rather disappear than back his team at horrendously priced evens. Stay clear of that one. You can get Wigan as big as 3/1 which is where the value is in this encounter. The draw is also tempting if you are contemplating the irrepressible 3 draw treble but I predict an upset here as Harry's Champions league ambitions are dirtied.

I've saved the best game of the weekend until last this week as Liverpool head to Eastlands to face their Champions league-chasing rivals, Manchester City. After their minor slip up at Stoke on Tuesday and with the possible return of terrific Tevez from compassionate leave to the football fray, my crystal football is predicting a victory for Mancini's men. At 6/4 the blues are great value. The Scousers won't steal anything this weekend...makes a change.

Wager of the weekend

City to beat Liverpool (6/4), Wigan to whip Spurs (3/1) and Birmingham to batter Fulham (3/1). £400 for your tenner. WOW! - wicked old wager!

Three draw treble for dough

Everton (v Man U) at 5/2, Pompey (v Stoke) at 9/4 and Blackburn (v Bolton) at 23/10. £375 for your Ayrton. Hello you.
