Last weekends roundup wasn’t nice to write but this one is a joy. A full house on the weekend and a bit gutted as last season I always did an accumulator on all the selections but hadn’t done that yet this season. I think it would have been around 12.5 on Bet365 (can only bet Chelsea once so would have only got Leeds from the double)! I watched Sporting Gijón lose to Villareal on Saturday night but was really pleased with how well they played and they deserved much more from the game. They missed some good chances and the goal was a clear handball but they are out of the crazy set of games now so hopefully can start to accumulate some points. It’s no coincidence that them and racing sit at the bottom and they were the first two teams to run the Sevilla-Barcelona-Real Madrid-Villareal gauntlet.

Sevilla won at Atletico Madrid and I got that game wrong and glad I didn’t bet on it. Atletico now have a tough 3 games and have to get at least a couple of wins to prove they are real challengers and sadly are missing a few players like Forlan, Maniche and Simao. I was not sure about Valencia but they have kept up their good start and look to have shaken off all the bad effects of Koemen’s time there. I think Edu is a fantastic player and would like to see him go a bit of time injury free and with Villa and the impressive 20 year old Mata adding goals they coulddo well.

Back to the weekend andChelsea won 2-0 away and with the bookies pricing that score up at 6 it shows how they don’t miss a trick as those were seriously low odds. We won the AH bet andLeeds winning 1-0 against Hereford meant the double was landed as well. Spurs beat Pompey 6-3 in the corner count and very pleased with that one and then Millwall won 2-1 against Swindon and keep up their good start. Wiped out last weekends losses and back into the positive again.

14 bets (13 points staked) :: 7 win – 1 void – 6 losses :: +2.08

* This does not include the 2 antepost selections a Carew scored again and is now as low as 16/1 with Stan James

A full set in the championship this midweek so will have a look around but unlikely to find any bets so probably back next weekend.
