Premier league write ups have become a bit of a chore already, mainly due to how dull and predictable the top end of the league has become over the years and this year more than ever. City have become the team Liverpool would have become if Benitez had been given half decent backing in the summer of 2008, boring to watch but bloody effective. Man Utd are their usual rubbish selves but predictably still win every home game despite being outplayed and Chelsea seem to be back in the groove and Torres is beginning to look like a footballer again. I think they're being a touch underrated and 3/1 could be a decent bit of interest for the season.
Onto this week which sees 5 games on Saturday and 5 on Sunday (another reason why the league is losing its appeal to me) due to TV and Europa league on Thursday, why the fixtures are not doctored to minimise the number of Sunday games not televised i don't know, eg There are 3 Premier League teams in the Europa League, match them up to ensure no more than 2 games not on TV being played Sundays. Could even force sky to pick some of these games for TV , eg Spurs @ Stoke or Fulham seems a lot more interesting to me than QPR being torn a new one by Chelsea ED. drifted off track a bit here.
It's hard to spot real value in the 1X2 markets on Premier League games so i'm going for 4 trebles and a 4 timer on 4 jollies. totalling a 5 points stake.
Newcastle 8/13
Arsenal 4/7
Man Utd 11/10
Chelsea 2/5
Unbeaten Newcastle face Wigan who look DOOMED. Arsenal take on Stoke who have been smashed after their first 2 Europa games by Sunderland and Swansea so if Arsenal can't get a win there's something wrong. Man Utd just win at home as stated above and Chelsea go to QPR who have only scored 2 goals in their first 4 home games. They'll have to double that to have a chance of anything this week.
