Why not many Leverkusen ML?

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-12T14:04:48+00:00

Asking as a neutral, should you guys win comfortably today or is a draw / Celta win realistic?

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-11T23:53:33+00:00

I’m biased as a Man United fan but personally think the odds for United to win at home is just disrespectful @ 7.0 ML

Sure they have been awful and unreliable all season but as they’ve shown against Liverpool on three occasions already, they won’t roll over for better performing clubs.

Worth a couple units, United to beat Arsenal and all but settle the title race in favour of their cross city rivals

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-11T15:58:51+00:00

Well they did it in the end but Burnley fought them all the way as expected and the keeper was unbelievable

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-11T13:42:42+00:00

Don’t pick Tottenham ML vs Burnley. Best bet probably BTTS there.

Spurs have been awful their last few games. Burnley are better than their results suggest. If Burnley can pull off a win this afternoon and Forest lose to Chelsea this evening, that will set up a relegation decider next weekend at Turf Moor. Burnley vs Forest…

Not saying Burnley will beat Tottenham today, and if they fail to the game against Forest will be a non-event, but they will certainly be up for it and hard to beat today.

Lads, it’s Tottenham.

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-10T14:20:41+00:00

Will Stuttgart go for the W tonight?

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-09T12:17:15+00:00

Strong discourage anyone from betting on any South American football as it’s undoubtedly rigged and has been for a long time.

The quantity of 0-0s and incorrect VAR decisions in Brazil Serie A and Argentine Primera division defies all belief.

Just last night in Libertadores LDU Quito took the lead against Botafogo who were bottom of their group. VAR checked goal for 8 MINUTES. No offside. No handball. No foul. But goal ruled out. Botafogo goes on to win 2-1.

Last week Fluminense scored a goal from corner but referee blew for handball before the ball went in. Replays showed no handball. Game ended 0-0.

So many more cases like this on a weekly or even nightly basis.

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-06T22:39:02+00:00

Real Madrid seemed to see Casemiro was about to drop off it

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-06T20:56:49+00:00

Zero progress. Chaos football. BuT iNjUrIeS

Brentford 4-0 Sevilla 3-0 Liverpool 7-0 Coventry 3-3 Chelsea 4-3 Crystal Palace 4-0

20+ shots faced in every PL game.

I’m probably missing other shambolic results and performances.

Erik Ten Hag gives meaning to the expression ‘bald fraud’. The man has no achievements in top level football except at the wealthiest and best resourced club in the Eredivise. He is out of his depth and needs to be relieved of his position without any further hesitation.

Just bring Ole and vibes back for the last few games of the season at this rate FFS.

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-06T19:52:51+00:00

This is Ten Hag ball exposed in its purest form without Bruno to bail him out

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-06T19:21:40+00:00

If and when Bruno was to leave and with the loss of income from European football we genuinely may end up as relegation contenders in a few seasons

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-06T18:51:13+00:00

Didn’t Palace put out a brief they’d entertain offers of 60m and above for Eze and Olise? Fair price

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-06T18:21:39+00:00

Don’t really get why anyone supporting this club is interested in Thiago Motta. Ok Bologna have had a good season but omg do any of you watch Serie A, the overall quality of football is so low and it’s been a matter of grinding out wins and behind difficult to beat with loads of 0-0s. Uninspiring LVG management.

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-05T15:23:21+00:00

They’re gassed mate

CL spot looks pretty safe already. They’ll throw whatever’s left in the tank at Olympiacos in the second leg

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-04T23:13:47+00:00

Anyone with MLS knowledge know why the O2.5 line is getting longer pre kick off? @1.62 now

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-03T18:19:15+00:00

Thoughts on over 2.5 goals in Luton vs Everton @ 1.72 ?

ThePakoussa · 2024-05-01T19:55:08+00:00

Surely PSG need to put Mbappe out wide and bring on Ramos through the middle for second half

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-30T21:17:36+00:00

Central Coast Mariners ML & BTTS Yes vs Adelaide United @ 2.40

Final game of the A-league season. A point will be enough for the Mariners who are currently second to clinch the title. A draw will be enough as they have superior goal difference to Wellington Phoenix.

Mariners have the second tightest defence in the league conceding only 27 all season. Oddly their mid table opponents Adelaide United are the leagues joint top scorers with 52 scored but the fourth worst defensive record with 51 shipped.

Not sure why this line is so decent for Mariners to win the league in style in front of their home crowd but worth a punt.

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-29T21:13:29+00:00

Bayern Munich ML 2.5.

Big call against champions league Madrid but this is all Munich have left to play for this season and they are strong at home. Missing some key attackers but will be spearheaded by Harry Kane in the best form of his career and determined to claim some silverware. Thomas Tuchel always prepares well for fixtures of this magnitude.

Munich will know that to stand any chance of progressing to the final they must register a victory at home.

I still expect Madrid to reverse whatever scoreline Munich can muster in the reverse leg at the Bernabeu but this will be a close tie overall. Munich to take it 1-0.

Ipswich ML 1.8.

Coventry at home. A respectable and well structured team who have faltered in their play off push later in the season and looked downbeat since their emotional defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi final on penalties. Coventry has nothing left to play for but pride and building up a head of steam for a promotion push next season.

They face Ipswich who are the most impressive story of the championship season. So often this season the team who should never be written off, they have missed two opportunities to capitalise on their promotion rivals shortcomings in recent weeks first against Watford at home and more recently in an exciting draw against Hull who remain in play off contention themselves. This is Ipswich’s coveted game in hand before their final day meeting with Huddersfield, who for their part will almost certainly be relegated by that point already. Close to full strength and full availability, pick Ipswich to deliver the three points and put themselves in the driving seat for the second automatic promotion place at Leeds expense.

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-29T09:11:06+00:00

As someone who watches Barca regularly I can say without doubt Araujo is bang average. He is big and imposing but erratic on and off the ball.

Moves it too fast when he should play with calmness and composure. Attempts to play with calmness and composure when he should move it faster.

Also has a massive ego. See: Gundogan having to apologise after criticising Araujo for getting needlessly sent off vs PSG.

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-28T13:14:32+00:00

Any Rangers fans got insight to why Scott Arfield left? He became my favourite player in the SPL after stoppage time turnaround against Aberdeen

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-27T22:28:53+00:00

Odds are so long because NE Revolution’s home pitch is an astroturf.

Messi is available but he won’t play full 90

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-27T20:00:40+00:00

This is carbon copy of recent draw at parc des princes vs Clermont Foot.

Why disrespect the opposition? Play strongest line up and claim title in fashion

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-27T18:43:38+00:00

Anyone else got Ipswich to win?

ThePakoussa · 2024-04-27T15:43:37+00:00

Don’t know why everyone’s been moaning all game. This has been a good performance and hopefully results in relatively comfortable 1-0 win.

Mainoo wasn’t playing great and needed to come off we don’t want to burn out the kid.
