iBet: Manchester City look unlikely winners against Juventus

Europa League: Juventus V Man City (Kick off 6pm, Live on ESPN)

Lay Man City at 2 to 1 with Betfair

Tonights Europa Cup games are a bit of a minefield. With the fate of most of the teams already decided, its impossible to know what teams the managers will be putting out. Man City are through to the next phase whatever happens, and you have to wonder about their motivation for the midweek trip to Italy. Juventus must hope that bottom-of-the-group SV Saltzberg beat second placed Lech Poznan. But if they do (and they are 5-4 favourites to do so) then Juventus can go through on goal difference if they beat Man City. Given that Juventus are on a fantastic run in Serie A, have not lost a game in 16, have scored more at home than any other team in the division and have only lost one game at home all season, you have to fancy them to at least get a draw. Put it like this, how hard are Man City and Mancini going to try if they are drawing or even losing? That logic makes Man City a lay at the available odds of just under two to one . If its a draw or Juventus triumph, we win.

Im slightly embarrassed to admit that darts is one of my favourite TV sports, and for once Phil Taylor might be vulnerable in the Ladbrokes PDC World Darts Championships. A couple of months ago he was 1-3 to win but after a series of defeats hes drifted to 4-6. The mans either lost his luster or the 15x champion is now the bet of the century. However, Taylor has been experimenting with wearing glasses and has lost his Grand Prix crown to Jeremy Wade and his Grand Slam title to Scott Waites in recent weeks, so the value must lie elsewhere. You can back Wade at 9-1 and Van Barneveld at 14-1 and both are worth a small stakes bet. The drama starts today. Bring it on!

Blackburn 3 - Liverpool 1 - Roy Hodgson: They think it's all Rover

Blackburn 3 - Liverpool 1 LIVERPOOL boss Roy Hodgsons job was left hanging by a thread last light after this bashing at Blackburn. Blackburn heaped the pressure on former manager Hodgson as they raced into a deserved 2-0 half-time lead. Speculation has been rife about the 63-year-olds future for weeks and goals from Martin Olsson and a double from Benjani did little to help. Steven Gerrard scored what proved to be just a late consolation with nine minutes to go when he fired in from the edge of the box. But the Liverpool skipper blazed a penalty over the bar fi ve minutes from time after he had been clipped in the area by Michel Salgado. Liverpool midfi elder Joe Cole made his ...

Did Steven Gerrard Miss His Penalty Kick On Purpose?

Image
Video: PL Highlights: Blackburn/Liverpool Watching Steven Gerrard walk up to the spot to take the penalty late in the game against Blackburn Rovers, I was confident he would score for Liverpool. When faced with adversity, Gerrard often rises to the occasion. Earlier in the season, Gerrard cooly slotted home a penalty against fiercest rivals Manchester United even though the vast majority at Old Trafford was begging him to miss. Except Gerrards penalty against Blackburn didnt go according to script. After Gerrard pulled one back for Liverpool and then won a penalty, the Reds had a chance with five minutes left to find an equalizer. That is, if Gerrard could first slot the penalty away. But he didnt and the ball sailed over the bar. Usually I dont question a players character, but in this particular instance with a chance to put Liverpool in the ascendency, Gerrard flubbed his shot. Now whether he did this on purpose or not, well probably never know. I respect the man as a footballer, ...

Magath Looks Up As Schalke Slump Comes To An End

Felix Magath Is The Man To Lead Schalke To Success This Season Despite An Awful Start. Schalke ended a five-match losing streak on Wednesday evening after they pulled off a last-minute win away to Freiburg. Few could see, after so many disappointing defeats, how Magaths side would be able to pick themselves up with morale seemingly in the dumps throughout the squad. Despite that, Felix Magaths side grabbed their first win of the season and will now have their eyes on a push towards the Bundesliga summit. While its unlikely, Schalke have an x-factor that makes them a real dark-horse for the Bundesliga title this season. That x-factor is Felix Magath. In the 20082009 season, Magath was head coach at VfL Wolfsburg, a side who had never before won the Bundesliga. Magath changed that. In the most unlikely way, Felix Magath led Wolfsburg to their very first Bundesliga title which is definitely an achievement that will make Magath a massive part of history with Die Wolfe. The year after, in t...
