Football

Just a quick Saturday post today. Cant get involved in the big game at the Bridge, but there are a couple of others worth a double.

3.00 Liverpool beat Birmingham 17/10 (LOST +15.77 - the real Birmingham showed up too late and Liverpool could only get it back to 2-2)
Yes Liverpool will put a 'weakened' side out, but it isnt that weak! Birmingham had a huge embarrassing setback losing 5-1 at Villa last week and have only won 1 in the last 7, and Liverpool reserves will be keen to push for places in the Champions League side should Rafa fancy any changes. In the 5 games before knockout games in the European Cup they have won 3 and drawn 2, so they are hardly underperfoming, and so 17/10 seems too good to miss.

3.00 Montrose beat East Stirling 8/5 (LOST +14.77 - this looked good when Montrose went ahead but the Shire stormed back and won't finish bottom for the first time in 6 years! Crack open the champagne!)
And then to Scottish Div 3! The second best away record meets the worst home record, and East Stirling have only won 1 in their last 7 home games. Add in Montrose beating them 2-0 a couple of weeks ago and you see why I fancy them today.

3.00 Montrose & Liverpool Double 6/1 (LOST +13.77)
