Inter, Roma and Juve to win + Barca/Espanyol game over 2.5 goals works out at 7-1 with PP. 11-1 for over 3.5 but think I'll back 2.5 to play it safe. Roma are the only team I fear slipping up.

I'd advise backing Shaktar as soon as you find any odds for the return leg next week. Harry's going to put out an even less experienced team with the Carling Cup final 4 days later.
Martin O'Neill has announced a shadow squad for the game against CSKA on Thursday. CSKA down from even money this morning to 8/11 now.
Carling Cup Final
Manchester United -V- Tottenham Hotspurs
I can see this being a very exciting game with plenty of goals. Fergie has promised to give his youngsters a run out once again in this competition. United's defence has been rock solid all season but they have conceded a few goals in the cup this year. Over 2.5 goals looks good to me today. Both sides have been involved in high scoring games throughout this seasons cup run. Between them they have played 10 games, witnessing a whopping 42 goals! An average of 4.2 goals a game. Only two of those games failed to reach above the 2.5 mark. These sides have met twice already this season, Fa Cup and League. The league game was 0-0 but in their last meeting it finished 2-1, a scoreline which this punter will be hoping for. History could also be on our side. Since the turn of the Century, the League Cup final has witness 6 games having more than 2.5 goals scored in normal time.
United's run:
Man Utd 4-2 Derby
Derby 1-0 Man Utd
Man Utd 5-3 Blackburn
Man Utd 1-0 QPR
Man Utd 3-1 Middlesbrough
Spurs run:
Burnley 3 - 2 Tottenham*
Tottenham 4-1 Burnley
Watford 1-2 Tottenham
Tottenham 4-2 Liverpool
Newcastle 1-2 Tottenham
*Spurs nicked 2 goals in ET
Meetings between the sides this season:

Backing Over 2.5 goals @ 2.2 (Betfair)
Finally replaced the hamster on the wheel in the computer. Arsenal look a good bet against Roma 21/10. Roma have to attack (without Totti) should play into Arsenals hands.
Lord Rathvinden, 17:45 Limerick.
Twas placed anyhoo for a small profit :)
Yeah I had a very small little each way bet on it. I thought Dman seemed like a man who wouldn't just throw out any old tips!.
Is that a tip or a point of information? :)
Right. Backed it each way again. If it doesn't come in your name is mud on here Dman. Mud.
Nice one Dman. It did the business.
Running again today in the 14:45 at Naas. 3/1 best price with Ladbrokes.
Woohoo, he did it again :)
Good man Dman!
had a small punt on an Arsenal win and Bogdanovic an anytime scorer for Barnsley yesterday. Was dancin round the office here for all of 2 minutes... :mad: :(
