A winner at evens and a loser mean there’s no change at all this weekend in our total. Exeter really let us down as they were also the losing leg in an accumulator I had but despite leading 1-0 they went down 2-1. Man United convincingly beat Chelsea who were a disappointment. Between them they shared 9 corners so the big 4 game corner stat held up and we sneaked a winner.

Be an interesting month ahead for Chelsea and they must be regretting ever getting rid of the special one. In Spain Valencia and Villarreal played out a corker on Saturday night but the it’s quite hard to know who is the best of the chasing pack. Messi won Barcelona another game but Madrid looked very solid against Mallorca and the price of 1.8 looks very big now. Sevilla had only 10 men but managed to come back from 1 down in Depor which was a massive result. They have a solid team, don’t concede many and I am a big fan of Jesus Navas on the wing, and I avoided any saviour jokes there. Betis were the hot team a couple of months back but lost again after being down to 9 men and next game will be without Emana who was one of those sent off and he has impressed me all season and would not be surprised to see him move somewhere bigger.

73 Bets (68.5 points staked) :: 27 won – 39 lost – 6 void – 1 half void :: -3.22 points

A few midweek games around so I’ll have a look at that. In terms of the antepost bets Carew’s injury means that is pretty much dead in the water and Adebayor needs a hatrick or two to make a dent in the leaders for us. In France Rennes won again and Lyon drew so just 2 points separate Lyon, Bordeaux and Rennes at the top.

* This does not include the 3 antepost bets.
