There was little movement financially last week with two of the four selections going in, though it needed a late, late goal at Selhurst Park to net Palace all three points against Stoke. As I say, I doubt that Roy … Read More »

It is always good to see one solid bet go in and Bournemouth were the only fancies last week for 50 units. They accounted for a modest Huddersfield team 4-0 despite playing the second half with ten men and I … Read More »

We pick up again this weekend after a rest last week – the correct decision as Plymouth showed yet again that they are not a team to back or oppose without very careful analysis. Over the years, and I’m sure … Read More »
