English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend WagerSporting predictions by Chris Clegg - A bit of Punditry: putting your money where your mouth i! Weekend Wager - Heaven and HellThe Devil was constantly challenging God to a game of footy, but God refused, until one day while walking around heaven he discovered that quite a number of international footballers had entered the 'pearly gates'. "I think I'll arrange to play that footy game," said God to the Devil. "We have a great number of international soccer stars in heaven at the moment from which to select a winning team." "You'll lose, you'll lose!" taunted the Devil. "What makes you so sure we'll lose?" enquired the good Lord. "Because," laughed the Devil, "we have all the referees down here." Only five games to cover this weekend with only three fixtures to be played on Saturday as it's a FA (Fanny Adams) cup weekend. Now, as an avid Barnsley fan, I love the FA cup. Indeed, in 2008 I travelled to Anfield to watch the super Reds take on the mighty Liverpool on their own turf for only the second time…and for the second time, we won (the first time being a 1-0 Premier league victory in our only Premiership season of 97/98). In the same season (2008) Barnsley beat Liverpool, we also scalped the mighty Chelsea in the quarter final (where previously in our premiership season we lost 6-0 at Oakwell)…However, the magic came to an abrupt end as we lost to Cardiff City in the semi-final. Like many o'man, we peaked too soon. I hate it when that happens, as does the missus. Don't worry, I won't ramble on about Super Barnsley's FA cup exploits, but it says a lot that Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all out by the quarter final stage. Unfortunately for the magic-loving punter, the big boys have their fingers in other pies…ahem…where is John Terry today by the way? Anyway, on to the premiership! Spring Clean at Upton ParkDown in East Ham, The Hammers entertain Boowwwwlton and the Lancashire outfit will be Wandering what's hit them as Zola's claret clad collection clean up on Coyle's dodgy springer spaniels. At least, playing in white, the Bolton boys will have cleaner clothes (sorry, neither team has a player named Daz) than their opposition but it will be the happy Hammers who March towards the equinox the happiest with a spring in their step. Bolton Mustapha bit of Riga if they are going to compete away from home; alas at the moment they are struggling and it's all a bit Shittu, Daaan at the Reebok. 2-0 to WHam. Get on the home win at 8/11. United to keep the wolf from the door?As (dirty) Leeds put pay to Manchester United's Fanny Adams chances this year, Fergie's angels travel to Mccarthy's Molineux on Saturday for the late kick off (5.30pm). United have spent the last couple of years trying to keep the wolf from the door, so to speak, and it will be no different on Saturday. This is potentially a great opportunity for United to take the top spot from Ance's lotti but the wolves will be up for this one and they will make it difficult for United. Wayne Rooney has been red hot recently, firing in from all angles with all parts of the body - you would think with a head his size he would have been netting with it all along. Alas, he couldn't hit a cow's arse with his head prior to this season. However, opposition all over the world, never mind the UK are quaking in their boots as Roondog's big head has started to do what his body wants. Well, I say it has, it ignores private requests from down below these days...he lives an all together 'Coleaner' life and it's paying off on the pitch. Respect to the Roon. Bring on the World Cup. I fancy Wolves to get something out of this clash, though, and I'm backing a score draw and Rooney NOT to score, for a change. 1-1 at Molineux. 10/3 the draw; 1-1 is around 10/1.
North v SouthAt the Emirates Arsenal face Burnley and if I am right about United failing to take advantage against Wolves, this is the Wenger Boys' chance to go to town on their Northern rivals. It's not often the southerners come out on top against the (much harder) Northerners but they will on Saturday. Arsenal will go above Chelsea when they win on Saturday and their goal difference will be ably assisted by three or four goals with none in reply. Big week for the Gooners: 4-0 here, methinks. Mind you, Arsenal are awfully priced at 1/8; Burnley are 20/1 - pretty good in a two horse race. Burnley may as well stay in the stables on Saturday though. SundayOn Merseyside, Everton face Hull on Sunday and the blues are back on form so expect the obvious here. It's Hull who will be blue on Sunday as they are eaten up by the toffee men. Comfortable for Moyes et al. Get on at 4/11. MondayMonday's match-up is up in the North West as the Wiganers entertain the scousers and it will be Wigan who will be doing the stealing: a point apiece up in Lancashire. The draw is 13/5; Wigan 5/1 (worth a look) and Liverpool are disgracefully priced at 8/13 - are you having a laugh, Mr Turf Accountant?
Cheap Gag What have David Beckham and a very expensive watch got in common? Wager of the weekendPut your tenner on West Ham to win 2-0 in the 3 o clock kick off against Bolton at 11/2...then collect your winnings (£65 including stake) and whack them on Wolves 1-1 Manchester United at 9/1 (typically) in the late kick-off. At 7.30 on Saturday night you'll be over £600 richer... just in time for some ale and a boogie. As Marc Bolan once sang: "I like to boogie." Fancy a Double for dough? Get on Wolves/Man Utd and Wigan/Liverpool both to draw and you'll scoop £150 for your tenner.
