English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend WagerSporting predictions by Chris Clegg - Putting your money where your mouth is! Top GunI'm going to start on Sunday this week as it's the clash of the (not-so-much) titans at Anfield as the Reds take on the (not-so) Top-Gunners. Well, I say they're 'not-so-top gunners' but they do have Tom Cruise himself playing for them now. Having said that, he was about as influential in midweek against Olympiakos as Goose was to Maverick in the film. If you don't know what happened in Top Gun, sadly the Goose is no longer with us. "I'll hit the brakes he'll fly right by", Mav (Cruise) insisted in the film. Unfortunately for Arsenal and Liverpool, they've hit the brakes and Chelsea/Manchester United have disappeared northwards. Like the Iceman in the film, they're out of reach - cruise control, one might say" Oh yes I'm supposed to predict who will win Sunday's match"erm Liverpool, just. 11/10's "very nice price", thank you, please. 2/1 Arsenal, also 'very nice'; the draw? 21/10 - "I liiiiike!" the teams? "Not-so-much". From footy to films"Cruise to Borat and back again. Only on Soccerphile! Saturday...I said to the Gym instructor "Can you teach me to do the splits?" He said "How flexible are you?" I said "I can't make Saturdays." Will Stoke take a Beattie-ng?Fresh from his own 'beating' at the hands, or head, of his boss, JB is expected to be included for Saturday's encounter with the Wiganers. Both sides (that's Stoke and Wigan, not Pulis and Beattie - only Beattie was bruised in that match) had bruising encounters last week, at the heads, or feet, of Arsenal and Birmingham, respectively, and they'll both be hoping to bounce back against each other on Saturday. Stoke are excellent value at 11/10; Wigan are 2/1 and it's 11/5 the draw - which is the same price as is the re-match between the 'badman-ager' and his fighting apprentice to take place pitch side on Saturday. Get on it.
Last ChristmasThe exact same prices are on the table for the encounter between Birmingham (11/10) and West Ham (2/1). I can't see past Birmingham - there are too many high buildings there. Wham are way too inconsistent. 'Last Christmas' they were better placed and finished the season 9th. "I'm your man!" claims Zola. I'm not too sure about that. They'll be lucky to clamber up towards mid-table mediocrity this year. As for the Brum, they seem to be on the way up. A blues victory here, I feel, and quite possibly a comfortable one. Lancashire derbyNow, I'm sure you discerning punters are aware that last week I correctly predicted that Manchester City would break their drawing sequence with a delightful double over Arsenal (Pointless cup) and Chelsea (lucrative league). They are 4/5 to continue their winning ways at Bolton and no wanderers are backing their team at 11/4. 23/10 the draw. City to win. And some. More LancastriansBurnley meet Fulham at Turf Moor and Coyle's boys might just spring into action this week. 6/4 is a generous price: Burnley can be dangerous at home - as indeed can Fulham - alas they're away this week so another loss then. 6/4's a joke about Fulham. It's 21/10 the draw.
Never back the Toffees at the BridgeAs much as I like the taste of toffee, it tastes terrible when it's only 9/1 at Stamford Bridge. The way the Merseysiders are playing at the moment they should be 99-1 and then I'd struggle to justify backing them. Chelsea are bigger certainties than they were against Apoel in midweek. Oh yes, I forgot, they didn't win that one. They will win on Saturday. Trust me. 2/9 is great value - £2 back for a £9 stake. It's a rare occasion I'll advocate such a long odds-on bet but it really is like printing money. Everton are woeful. Chelsea are awesome. Rout - no doubt. At least three or four zip to the blues of Laaaaandon. Sports PersonalityAt Old Trafford, Villa are visiting and will probably be hoping United will still be without some of their key players. Mind you, with half a squad missing they still fried the wolfburgers to a frazzle in Germany with Michael Owen the head chef in the kitchen. Owen wants an England call-up; as does Villa's Abangedlewhore. I'm not sure which one I would prefer but I think United will be victorious on Saturday and soon-to-be-crowned sports personality of the year, Ryan Giggs will be instrumental on his return from his well earned rest. Get on United at 1/2. Villa are 6/1 and it's 3/1 the draw. The odds on Giggs to score AND win BBC's coveted award? I'm not sure but it's tempting, isn't it? Gone fishing?As one would expect, or as they say in Hull, "Az tha'd expect." It's a different betting market as Brown's boys entertain the Rovers of Blackburn. It will be close up in East Yorkshire, despite the weathermen insisting it will be freezing. 9/5 against a Hull victory; 6/4 Blackburn and 23/10 the draw. That's close, Michael Fish, I don't care what you think. There are lots of fish in Hull and Jimmy Bullard's got plenty of time to catch some; I think I'll join him as it will be much more entertaining than this match. Bore draw? Two to goAt the Stadium of Light, Sunderland host Pompey and down at the lane in London, Spurs entertain Wolves. Two home wins to finish, methinks. The black cats are 4/5 (Pompey 7/2; 5/2 draw); Spurs are 1/4 which isn't good value; 11/1 Wolves and 9/2 the draw - niiiiice priiiiice. Weekend WagerHull/Blackburn draw (23/10), Sunderland to beat Pompey (4/5), Burnley to beat Fulham (6/4) and Chelsea to nail Everton (2/9). Over £130 for your tenner. Thank you, please. A Couple of TemptersGiggsy is 11/4 to score on Saturday and he's about the same price (second favourite) to win on Sunday night. That's about an 8/1 double. You could make it more lucrative and have him to score first @ 8/1 and double it up with the 11/4 to win Sports Personality - well over 20/1 - that's more like it!
