English Premier League - Friday Dec 30, 2011 ***TRIPLE PLAY***

[ARUKIDNME]

This rarely happens but the stars have lined up and we must strike when the opportunity presents itself.

Liverpool cannot score goals!!!

Liverpool vs. Newcastle UNDER 2.5 (-118)
Liverpool vs. Newcastle DRAW (+290)
Newcastle United +1 (-110)

Now the Reds best goal scorer is suspended. When I say best I am referring to Suarez who has an EYE POPPING 5 goals. Now lets add insult to injury with Andy Carroll who has been uneventful and the critics are asking for Dalglish's head. Gerrard is back and I don't expect him to start but who knows. The pressure is squarely on Carroll and I don't think he will handle it well.

The Magpies know that lesser teams have come away with a draw at Anfield so I am certain that he is banking on the home field DRAW woes to continue and I think he's right.

I expect this game to be a toss up. The Reds can't score, they have no confidence, home field advantage is a Myth at Anfield and The Magpies are really not that terrifying offensively. Newcastle will be playing for the draw hoping they catch Liverpool on their heels and score a winner.

It's a perfect storm for the Trifecta!!! I hope I'm right!!! LOL

Sorry I should have given the weight of each selection in terms of units. However you can pick your own poison, I fancy the under 2.5 the most. Here it is:

Draw = 0.5 Units
+1 = 1.0 Units
Under = 2.0 Units

I agree with everything you said but it's worth remembering, Newcastle's CB is in shambles with so many injuries and they were even playing Danny Simpson and James Perch in the center of defense two weeks ago. Defensively, they are vulnerable right about now and can concede silly goals. But with Liverpool struggling to score and NO Suarez, that bet still looks good to me.

I am on both newcastle +1 and the under. Just read a preview on the game which said santon and gosling are back for newcastle which should help the d. Good combo for the under:newcastle hasn't scored in last 6 trips to anfielld and liverpool has trouble scoring of late

 

[ARUKIDNME]

Great info and it certainly makes me feel better about the under which is my primary wager.

Let's get this one!

 

[ARUKIDNME]

I hate to sound redundant but WTF; more fuel to the fire. It makes us feel good about laying cash before the game.

Let me focus on Newcastle's Demba Ba who has scored 4 goals in his last 4 games and is 2nd place in scoring in the EPL this year (14 Goals). I don't expect the Magpie's have missed Carroll one bit this season and it would be sweet if they kept him off the score board tonight.

During their 6 game winless streak NU faced Man City, Man U and Chelsea. Some stiff competition. But they won their last time out and before the City match they were unbeaten in 11. I'm not worried one bit about their defensive capabilities; in fact I am certain they can keep a clean sheet today.

Feeling confident that we will hit all three today.

weak lineup for pool and castle setting up with 5 mids should only help that total...cheers

 

[tk2wndw]

god terrible goal keeping

 

[ARUKIDNME]

Well that was a kick in the NUTZ!!!

Liverpoll is Jekyl/Hyde and I am not about to waste any further money on a match involving them for quite some time.

Moving on!!!

Currently eyeing up the Fulham/NC draw @ +225. Wigan/Stoke DRAW +250. Tottenham -160. All straight up bets and then doing a 5 team parlay for a small amount which also includes City -190 (pays 43/1)...

 

[lastguyoffthabench]

Damn you Tottenham... You crushed my hopes today.
