The 2016/2017 football season predictor thread

Fulham do us every bloody year :mad:

It's been like this for as long as I can remember.....add to that the massive expectation at St.James's and that we're getting nervous with so few games to go I can see us clinging on for 2nd if I'm being honest :eek:

Don't think we'll have a problem scoring in the Prem but boy, that defence!

I think that Huddersfield are the best team in the league so we really do have to worry about gaining auto promotion. I can't see Brighton slipping up.

Next week I am going to bet on the opposite team that I think will win.

If you could replace 6 teams in the premier with 6 from the championship/lower leagues who would you swap? Mine would be to swap Sunderland,Middlesbrough,Bournmouth,Burnley,Watford and Swansea and replace them with Millwall,both Sheffields ,Leeds,Wolves and Newcastle.
I chose Millwall just to see them get relegated with no points at all.

I'd pluck Watford, Burnley, Swansea, Middlesbrough, Leicester and Sunderland and replace them with:

Newcastle, Fulham, Sheff Wed, Leeds, Forest and Blackburn. I'm old-school like that :cool:

Honourable mentions: Villa, Wolves, Reading
 
I chose mine by their great support as well as their historic pedigrees. Millwall just to see their fans suffer when they get their arses kicked by cricket scores every week :D

Why not really go for it and revise the Premier League?

Here's my 20 teams:

1 Macclesfield

2 Shrewsbury

3 Blackpool

4 Crawley Town

5 Plymouth Argyle

6 Stanley

7 Charlton

8 Bromley (10 minutes by 126 bus)

9 Boreham Wood

10 FC United of Manchester

11 Whitehawk

12 Barnet

13 Margate (would make for a nice day out)

14 Hungerford Town

15 Blackheath (used to live there)

16 Bognor Regis

17 Metropolitan Police

18 Vauxhall Motors

19 Newcastle Utd

20 Barcelona
 
^^^^ Ha ha. I live in Crawley.
I'm all for equality in most regards but I would add the England Ladies team just so as to shut those deluded folk up who insist that Women's sports stars deserve equality in every sport that they compete in.
And just for shits and giggles I would shoe in the England Ladies Rugby team into the Premier Football League too :D
 
Huddersfield should be entered at crufts and not be playing football.
Newcastle should be in the Scottish leagues.
Manchester United should move down South so their fans can save money watching the home games.
Reading should just cease to Exist.


And.......

17155738_795109250646960_8733568932165592711_n.webp


Seriously though....

Villa, Leeds, Newcastle and Forest should be in Prem where they belong.

Burnley, Bournemouth, Watford and Hull should never be in the Premiership.
 
Pains me to say it, but Huddershite has got a very good chance of nicking one of the 2 top spots.
Also pains me to say that I think Leeds are still going to be in the Championship next season.

I think we will still be in the play offs, although Fulham could nick a place at the expense of either the piggies or (yawn) Reading.
But a game like yesterday at home and not a single shot on target was ridiculous.
Now Ayling is banned for 2 matches due to yellow cards.

Leeds should have put their hands in thier pockets in January as other teams were strengthening, well except Newcastle but they have a good squad, but would need to spend some money if they went up, we would need to spend a hell of a lot if we went up, cant rely on Wood.
Teams are now coming to Elland road with a Plan and have sussed our game out (Cardiff, QPR)

Still Brighton and Newcastle to play :eek2:

Newcastle players need a rocket up their arses. They are on premier league wages and we have a very big squad. I am getting a bit worried about gaining auto promotion because,for me,Huddersfeild are playing some very good football.
Still, if we miss promotion then we can look forward to the local derbies against the cheesy chip munchers and Middesbrough

If Huddersfield do go up, I think they will struggle.
All the town fans were happy yesterday as it was the last day of Crufts.

BTW Colin, can you bet on Brighton this weekend please :laugh:

Here's my tips for tomorrow at Cheltenham

1:30 Beyond Conceit EW

2:10 Altior Win

2:50 Noble Endeivor EW

3:30 The New One EW

4:10 Colin's Sister EW


4:50 Beware of The Bear EW

5:30 Its a Freebee EW

I will probably skip betting on the 2:10 and have a Canadian and a yankee on

I would imagine that after all of their troubles in the past they are keeping an eye on balancing their books
 
ok, so todays racing, I love Cheltenham, and never win, but hey ho lol. I do have a small ante post bet on that I did last week which hopefully all will run in, 3 at chelt and 1 in grand national (cause of causes)

Today I like

2.50 Holywell, can't see this being out the 1st 3
4.10 Apple's Jade, same as above
4.50 Beware the Bear
5.30 Gold Present

40p EW Lucky 15, would have been 50p but won £12 from paddy power free spins so used that lol.

Also got a few doubles on from various £5 free bets I had with Coral and Skybet.

A longshot in the opener is Labaik at 40-1, it will either run very well or refuse to race in my view. I've done £20 win with Skybet as you get it back as a free bet if it loses. I think Melon is the worst priced horse I have seen for ages, it 'might' win, but so might 10 others and 3-1 is ridiculously short. River Wylde is another I like in that race, may do a small rfc on them. Good luck today everyone.

Also been told darvie in the 1.45 Southwell is expected to win

I have settled on an EW Canadian. Colin's Sister is a none runner so I have taken 130 beyond conceit 250 Noble Endervor 330 The New One 410 Lifeboat Mona and 450 beware the bear.
Good luck old chap :thumbsup:

Nevermind that Colin, looking at Newcastle's next two home games I fancy a cheeky punt on Burton for a sneaky 2-1 away win and Wigan to do us 3-0.

You know it's true :eek::eek2:

I wonder if Raffa is planning a mass clear out even if we do get promoted? I honestly think that quite a few are only there for the money and are just doing enough. At the moment I don't think we are playing well enough to deserve go up.
 
Fecking hell! That is sick. Congrats mate. Got any tips for this week?

---> Col being :barf:

Well it was a speculative bet. I was convinced if it ran it would run well, and was a bet to nothing as was money back, had a fiver rfc with River Wylde too, if it had got 2nd instead of third would have doubled the winnings, if it wasn't money back if didn't win I wouldn't have had a penny on it though so :thumbsup: to skybet for that promo :D

My main bet today is Holywell, and just stuck another £25 EW on it and a tenner RFC with Singlefarmpayment, the EW in store and RFC online. Still over £700 up on the day if I get nothing back, and if not I won't have another bet. :thumbsup:

I quite fancy Forest Bihan EW in the next. Win or lose,once I have placed my bets for the day I rarely bother betting any more for the day. I recall too well standing in the bookies all day until I was skint. But sometimes I'll stick a bet on in the evenings races too if i've done well
 
Thats pretty much me too, I used to do exactly the same, thats why now, win or lose i stop with what I decided to back earlier in the day, only exceptions are times if I win a lot and I can pt a little more on something I really fancy, or if I get a bit of info on something later in the day that I trust.

Nice racing to watch today, not as sure about the betting side, but here goes.

In the 1.30 I really don't like Neon Wolf, I don't think he will like the ground, and the price is, like Melon's yesterday, too short. That said a lot have it as a banker for the meeting so will be betting with Skybet again for the moneyback as a free bet if you back a loser. I do like Consul De Thaix, trainer is in decent form and the owner is shrewd enough to have lined this up for this race. Also probably do a £5 RFC with the favourite just in case. £20 win on it as my first bet of the day.

I'll be doing a 50p EW Lucky 15 on these

2.10, I really like Might Bite, but the price is too short for my L15, so my second choice would be Whisper which is the one going in.

2.50 Modus should be involved in the finish, I have Old Guard in ante post bets at 25-1 and 40-1.

3.30 Douvan should win this without breaking sweat, but I'm not sure about Mullins horses at the moment, but regardless, Gods Own I feel should get a place in this without any trouble.

5.30 I have Someday in a couple of ante post bets at much higher prices than the 8-1 generally available at the moment, so going to go for Irish Roe in this bet, at around 20-1. Depending on how the day has gone at this point I will likely have a forecast with the 2 too.

I've also got 2 x £5 free bets with Coral, which one is going on a double with Might Bite and Neon Wolf just in case they do scoot up, they win I win, they lose, costs me nothing :)

Also have an ante post position on Prospectus in the Fred Winter, which I'm starting to regret.
 
The 17 year old Jack Kennedy will be the next big thing after Ruby Walsh I think and his two bookings today will get my money.Hes picked up a ride today on Brelade and Icario.
Todays EW Canadian is

130 Brelade

210 Whisper

330 Tin Soldier

410 Cantlow

450 Icario

I thought about taking two EW Canadians to include 250 Tombstone and 530 Next Destination but as I'm already own on the meeting I opted not to bother
Good luck :thumbsup:
 
Not great results so far, Whisper beaten a nose, the double let down the Neon Wold being beaten a head, Modus and Old Guard 6th and 7th, Douvan beaten and not getting a place on Gods own, but Cause of Causes was an excellent result, put £40 on it last week at 33-1 for the National, now into 14's, so will lay it off to get a free bet on it now, which is what I hoped for.

Free £20 bet from Skybet is going on Divin Bere in the next and Fayonagh in the last as a 50-1 double
 
No all or nothing :(

YORKHILL in the opener was going to be my strongest bet of the festival, but Mullin's form has put a stop to that. I am still having a big bet on it but not as big as I was going to, as the only one I can see beating him is Top Notch, but after Douvan etc, it is a possibility.

EMPIRE OF DIRT is the one in the 2.50 for me, and I don't know how anyone can bet against UNOWHATIMEANHARRY in the 3.30, with Shaneshill to come 2nd.

Not sure how to stake on them yet, I was going to have £100 on Yorkhill but the Mullins form has put me off, Hills are going 2-1 in store at 9am tomorrow, which is good, but puts me off even more, bookies don't give money away, so will probably do a £30 or so treble and see after the first race if my view on the rest of the day changes.

Congrats on Yorkhill. I had it too in a double with Un De Sceaux in the 2.50

My EW Canadian for today is 210 Tobefair 330 Nicols Canyon 410 Thomas Crapper 450 Airlie Beach and 530 Potters Legend

Good luck :)

I didn't have time to update this this morning, so at the risk of aftertiming, I did a £30 treble on my 3 main selections, and £20 with Skybet on Top Notch. Reasoning being, I thought TN would be the only one that could beat YH (and if it wasn't for that mistake think he would have) so if it won I would get about £100 that I could put on a double for the next 2, if YH won then I would get the £20 back as a free bet, which I could reinvest on the other 2 and probably tobefair in the 2.10.

I have heard good things about Tobefair this morning, also about Golden Doyen

I get the impression,given that tobefair was up with the running 3 out and was said to be "unfortunately last -Tobefair" that the horse is in a bad way :(

How did your betting work out today? I got a great touch with the Yorkhill and Un De Sceaux double and the Canadian gave a slight profit.
 
Good luck with those today, the doubles looking good :) done the same 2 but with Djakadam for a fiver treble.

Battleford and No Comment are both really well fancied in the 4.50, doing a £20 SFC in that order and a £10 RFC as a saver.

Apart from a small EW Lucky 15 on all Walsh's ride except Djakadam (Minella Rocco in that race) not doing anything else as yet.

I am not confident that Death Duty will win the 2:50 and thats why I took the each way double with Defi Du Seuil.

I strongly fancy Cue Card to win against Djakadam. In this race last year Cue Card was going very well until he fell and I can't see him falling this time.
Good luck today Col :lolup:

I'm not confident about any of them, my free £20 bet from skybet has gone on

2.50 Augusta Kate
4.10 Wonderful Charm
4.50 Battleford

£10 EW treble, I'll be very surprised if at least 2 of the 3 don't get placed, and all 3 have good chances of winning in my view.
 
I ended being slightly up for the week with the gee gees but I enjoyed it regardless :D

With my profit for the season standing at £60.92 my £5 football accumulator today is on Palace,Burnley,Leicester,Brentford,Ipswich and Norwich which gives a return of £1627.38 at Paddypower.

My EW Canadian today is on Uttoxeter 1:50 Broughtons Rhythm 3:00 Aengus 3:35 Final Nudge and at Kempton 2:40 Casper King 3:15 Sir Note
 
I didn't have time to post before the racing, or even put a football bet on, but had a good day, a treble up, shown below so I don't get accused of aftertiming :D and just cashed out a £5 in play treble for £300+, shown below again :). How have yours got on, haven't had a chance to check results properly, I did have another £20 treble that lost and an EW Lucky 15 that gave stake back.

Congrats on your winnings :thumbsup:

My bets today bombed but I didn't lose much as a few each ways came in. Its squeaky bum time for Newcastle now after that draw,but the brum keeper had a blinding game so I hear :(
 
cheers mate, I think Newcastle will be ok, even if they come second its still promotion, and while top is better the aim surely is to get back in the premiership.

I was surprised to get a decent cashout, usually coral are awful, had to wait 20 mins for it to be available as the first game had over 10 mins injury time, and the market is suspended from about the 88th minute, was expecting to be offered £100 or so, especially as the team in the ss had already been pegged back to 2-2 a few mins before, which they took the lead again from quickly, so quickly took the £300+, one goal in both games with almost 20 mins left wasn't worth the risk.
 
My bet for the forthcoming internationals are Holland,Cyprus, N.Ireland,the bloody Scots,Poland and Denmark. £5 accumulator returns £414.04 at Paddy Power.

My racing bets for today are.
EW Yankee- Maydan. 12:50 Beautiful Romance. 1:25 Epicharis 2:00 Ertijaal 2:35 Morawij

And my EW Canadian is on Newbury 1:50 Coolking 2:25 Gurkha Brave 3:00 Tara View 3:35 Don Bersy and Kelso 3:15 Baywing
 
My £5 accumulator for todays football from my £50.92 profit for the season is Spurs,Hull,Leicester,Watford,Villa and Ipswich for a return of £385.

I have took 2 yankees.
Kempton 205 Fire Fighting 240 Dutch Golden 315 Noble Gift and Stratford Goodnight Charlie

And at Doncaster
225 Nimr 300 Dawn of hope 335 George Cing and 550 Glorious asset
 
With a £45.92 profit my £5 accumulator for today is on a win for Chelsea,Man City,Liverpool,Spurs,West Brom and West Ham for a return of £139.11


For the National I have taken Vieux Lion Roughe and Wonderful Charm,both each way. And a E W Canadian with:-

1:45 Fountains windfall 2:25 Finians Oscar 3:40 I Just Know 5:15 Vieux Lion Roughe and 6:15 So Celebre

Just added in a small E W Yankee with Lingfield 3:10 Ruby Wednesday 4:15 Take The Helm and Chepstow 2:50 Bletchley Castle and 4:05 Thundering Home.
 
Big day today. All small bets but I have a lot of "chances" all which will probably fall flat on their faces :mad: :o , We'll see,,,,,

Footy Acca: Man City, West Ham, Cardiff, Leeds, Cambridge, Exeter, Portsmouth (£61 from a £2 stake)

BTTS: Midd/ Burn, Card/Brent, Bury/Brad, North/Sheff, Scunth/Bolton, Colch/Steven 9Just under £30 from £1 stake)

GN:

Causes or Causes / More of that - got 14/1 on both - £2 straight wins

Thunder n Roses for my poor long suffering Mom :p

Kids chose La Vatican (100-1, can have a tenner each if that wins :p) and The Young Master!

Something I got 'talked into' which I've not done for years is 2 x £1 Hotpicks on tonight's Lotto, lets hope it a sign of a good omen.
