Spurs @ 9.4

Surely very hard to fancy the Spurs away poor travelers but Mourhino wont want to give up a goal at home so if you must have a bet maybe plus one goal or+1.5 goals probably be tight all through....when you say "one of the best 9.4 shots you will see"...  true if you collect wit a big my outright fancy is Chelski but Torres can't buy a goal so have had no bet yet,,,,think Barca are short with 3games to go..goon luck wit your bet

how often does mourinho get beaten at home?

3 days ago

first time since 002 though ....

fecking laptop doing my head in 2002 is what i ment...

Charlton beat Chelsea in the Carling Cup at Stamford Bridge in 2005.

That defeat 3 days ago will only serve to fuel up Madrid and Mourinho if you ask me, they know the league is gone.

I couldn't back spurs at all, the strikers are all badly out of form and Bale hasn't shown much since coming back from injury. Comfortable home win for me.

Price is round about right, actually if anything i think could be a little value on Real madrid. Spurs are surely no better than Sevilla, Valencia or Villarreal and all longer odds than what Spurs are for tonight (At the moment) when they have played away to Real away this season. Valencia went off pretty much the same price Spurs are at the moment.

Benzema is a big loss. 12 goals in 12 games prior to getting injured for France. No coincidence that they lost on Sat.
If Spurs have a go and take their chances then they could win, but I would think `Arrys mindset is to get them back to WHL, so a handicap punt would be more advisable imo.

Not according to UEFA.com:

Real Madrid CF coach José Mourinho, buoyed by Cristiano Ronaldo's availability, said a goalless home draw against Tottenham Hotspur FC would represent a "good result".

Team news
• Madrid
Gonzalo Higuaín was a substitute against Real Sporting de Gijón on Saturday, his first appearance since suffering a slipped disc on 20 November. Ronaldo (hamstring) and Marcelo (bruised rib) trained on Monday, and though Ángel di María did not, the winger has been included in the squad along with Kaká (knee). Definitely out, however, are the in-form Karim Benzema (hamstring), Fernando Gago (adductors) and Pedro León (knee).

• Tottenham
Bale has recovered from a hamstring problem and should play, while William Gallas (knee) will undergo a late fitness test. Right-back Alan Hutton is not expected to feature again this season after knee surgery, with defensive trio Ledley King (groin), Jonathan Woodgate (calf) and Younes Kaboul (thigh) also certain to miss out. Midfielder Steven Pienaar is absent with a groin injury.

tempted by a draw double on both games tonight.

Serious money for Schalke, to be honest seen Inter and thought they were poor on Saturday night but it think they are value here to get something of the germans. Schalke have issues up front one of their best midfielders is injured another plays with a mask and they have big problems at left back. Huge value Inter are but they have drifted like a barge all day.

COYS

modric fgs 16/1

Whats not according to UEFA.com BJG?

44 on here, for a bit of interest.

Was a c+p and left in dat line by mistake only GS [;)]

Goals galore tonight and both ties well and truly done and dusted already

Ah I see! Cheers BJG.
Our Arry got found out tonight.
Sign him up for England I say!

Hopefully be some better fare tomorrow night - first half of Inter game was good - thats about it in 2 matches tonight though

Barca at 1/5 should win but anyone takin that price is a lot braver than me

Chelsea 6/5 favs to beat Utd???? Seems too short in my eyes

I am amazed no one has acknowledged Newmanix original post featured yet another big priced winner,a couple of weeks ago i saw other football threads again with big priced winners,not a huge football fan but i might start having an odd bet if this continues.

What?

Oh, Shalke. Right.

Yes that was a great call to be fair, well in Newmanix ! i have to admit i fancied Inter when i seen the drift Backed Madrid -1.25 so got some of my money back but finished well down on the night.

I like these threads !

Sure you do aftertimer.

Ha ha ha Giant, well i admit i did not make anymoney and had a lot more on Inter than Real, great call Newmanix. Giant me and NEwman seem to be the only ones able to put up good soccer bets, don't be shy in future

Chelsea v United price seems spot on unless there is very big team news i can't see why the price would change. Might be a little bit of value in the unders price, Chelsea won't want to concede an away goal reckon it won't be as open as the league game a few weeks ago.

Shyness is nice!
Well done winners.
I prefer the Europa league for betting tbh.
How good was Stankovics opener in Milan? Shame the rest of the Nerazzurri didn`t read the script!

Surely Barcelona are a way too short at 6/5 to win out especially with Mourinho still in with a strong outfit and then Chelski and Manu strong enuff too,,,what is it must win3 games.. could someone throw up the paths to final who plays who in next and so on...

Barca V Real
ManU/Chelsea v Schalke

Thanks GS two big games for Barca to get their hands on the CUP and not through to semi yet..that guy that is regular on SAT ATR gave Barca as a lay in their qt. final...thinks they cud go out..i think steve is his name Steve Freeth of bet 65 maybe?

Thanks lads.  Pity Crouch pressed the self destruct button and Arron Lennon getting injured before hand but thats the game.  I got on schalke @8.0.  Fancy chelsea tonight but @2.18 is far to short.  Might wait ten minutes into the game.  Barcelona to win 3-1 @ 11.5 might trade a lot shorter after 70 mins and is the value in that game.

Rocketfingers, BJG is right more times than he is wrong and worth noting

I appreciate that Newman but i'm just going on the prices when both teams met last time, basically i would view it that the last price of the recent league match would be the correct price i.e. the price both went off at. I suppose if you take the view Chelsea were lucky that time it is fair to say that you probably also take the view that the price is too short on them this time.

wd Newmanix[;)]

Looks like the 4 semi finalists have booked their places already

utd were lucky to escape with the win. they probably will go thru but i wouldnt write off chelsea by any means.

Chelsea 6/5 favs to beat Utd???? Seems too short in my eyes

Good advice as usual BJG.
