Dial Square's 2012-13 Thread

[DialSquares]

for the bigger clubs (and some smaller ones) i tend to check their twitter feed....a lot of times you will get the lineups 30-45 mins before kickoff. Team's official sites is where i get team news but most of the time you have to use google translate and the wording is off. I can read a few languages so that helps. If you only use it for lineups and skip the reading the fake drama soccernet.com is a good place to get team news and lineups. or goal.com as well. There are some good soccer forums with guys that post local team news throughout europe too....

but i think twitter is your best bet for lineups...for instance FSV Frankfurt just tweeted a photo of the two starting lineups....and that was almost 1 hr before kickoff

Excellent, Thanks
and BOL

i saw that jahn goal coming...kaiser -1.5 was a bad pick - it fit well but a big fav. midweek....dumb. Still early though and thanks sheriff...

 

[DialSquares]

paderborn pretty much controlled the whole 2nd half but couldn't manage a goal...1-2 in the earliers...1-1 if you were smart to skip the kaiser bet....why midweek games fool me so much i will never know....

EPL
Sunderland v QPR
Over 2 and 2.5 -104 -1.04 to win 1 unit
sticking with the over....i guess the over 2.5 is okay if you don't have the 2.25...1-1 very possible though.

England Championship
Derby v Cardiff
Over 2.5 and 3 -103 -1.03 to win 1 unit

millwall pk over wolves fits nicely but i skipped it.

Gun to your head who do you like side in Sunderland vs QPR

 

[DialSquares]

sunderland won 5 straight vs QPR (home and away) and 10 straight without defeat. QPR yet to win so if you can get sunderland pk perhaps a good bet. Neither team is very good so either winning wouldn't surprise me. I doubt i'd bet sunderland straight win though...

 

[TheSheriff]

Ya, I like your 1-1 final comment in the over play....I think I toss a little on the draw.

Thanks again

thanks to the cold weather my hand is so f&^%ed up i am on a couple of medications and will be typing with one hand for awhile....and probably not so coherent....hahaha...

anyway - all signs point to an early chelsea win despite being a road side before a CL must win game...they are only playing nordsjaelland (or whatever) and they have a good h2h vs West Ham. At even odds you should probably question the odds a little bit..certainly no system play....but german II yielded no real picks (how union berlin don't win is beyond me)......but we will see
as i said - this cold weather has me all fuc(ked up again so maybe i am off but i like (despite acutally hating them) chelski in the early morno.....gl if you do play...maybe more but probably not.

your right about the meds...they are fucking with your judgement...you have to be nuts to bet that chelsea squad right now...that ship is sinking quick....and west ham minus the first minute brain fart to utd were in that game throughout and should have beat city...at home i give them every chance to take this game outright...

 

[DialSquares]

yeah - early road goals kill me....i really didn't look close at it...just as close as i can.....i'm actually done probably til the new year.....it is just too frustrating to try and type and read news on the internet....and 0-2 swansea and the gunners 2 points clear of liverpool....no more point to look at anymore soccer....dumb pick for sure.

i saw 0-1 everton and thought there was a chance of the invincibles title stayed in london.....who knows now. It will be interesting dec 9th....

for the 2nd time this soccer year and probably the 5th time in 4 years I am betting on the arsenal gunners to win a match. Worked the first time so as the scamdicappers would say 1-0 on all arsenal to win bets in 20112-13 season. Now most books probably have the juice -1 too high so i would take the -1, 1.5 but it could be a 1 goal win and 1/2 money back 1/2 loser.

England Capitol One Cup..might still be Carling Cup
Bradford v Arsenal
Arsenal -1 -139 - 1.39 to win 1 unit
no question we are missing a few key players and will rest some others with knocks but i think this is one of those matches were the youth guys really shine and make names for themselves. The reading match caught us by surprise but this should go more like coventry. Arsene has promised a strong side with a small mix of fringe younger players. Some of these guys are ready to take it to the next level and although bradford are having a good year and at home it is still a league two side. Usually we clean up in matches like this but this time yet to prove itself enough to trust the -1.5 line. With Chelski honestly only being in our road for silverware and the team not deep enough for a CL run perhaps we will finally get something out of arsene's last 6 years.....

i like norwich and sunderland (EPL) today too but based on gut and no reading or looking at the numbers so just the one gooner bet.
