Football

Steady first week this month but we need to get back in the black. A bit more football around tonight of course, so we'll see what we can pick up, but one winning bet a day is better than a handful of losers. Don't forget your Masters homework tonight!

7.45 Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal 11/2 (LOST 4-2 -2.80 - What a game! Whatever you may think about the 'Big 4' and the Champions League, when they meet in that competition you get the best games. I'm just surprised you can't yet buy Arsene Wenger endorsed toys for your children to throw out the pram!)
Its amazing how often when you get this type of run of three games between two teams, there ends up with a symmetry about the results. Often by way of one win for each team and a draw. But with two 1-1 draws so far, in games of largely differing players, quality and pace, who would bet against another tonight? Particularly when the other league game this season was 1-1 too. Arsenal on paper are probably slightly the better side, but haven't been 100% since that night in Milan. But Liverpool have a thing about the Champions League and are at home. Gun to head, I think Liverpool will get through, but extra time and or penalties may just add to the drama. I wouldn't put anyone off taking Bet365's 22/1 about the Reds winning on penalties, but I'll be prudent and stick with the 1-1 draw.
