I took a week off from soccer to regroup for this match.

I believe that this match is considered a tossup by most neutral observers; but we won’t see a draw today. Arsenal has a terrible away record and Swansea have a decent home record and is tough to beat on home soil. The Gunners have lost five matches on the road this year and today will be number six.

Swansea ML (+400)

I’m keeping this preview quite compact and to the point.

The Gunners are Shit, are missing players, can’t win on the road, looked disgusting last match and Swansea have only lost 1 game this season at home a 0-1 decision to Man U. Arsenal will be missing 10 players in total for this game and I don’t give a dam if that old geezer Henry is back .......... I hope he starts!

The only people who feel Arsenal will win today are the Punters who support them. The Welshmen will prevail.


On a side note, I plan to make a point.......Football is The Greatest Fixed Sport in the World.

I suggest you read The Fix by Declan Hill. I met him a few years ago at his publisher’s office the same month his book went for sale. I had to set up a phone interview with a FIFA media official in Ecuador who is a friend of mine. Ecuadorian radio wanted to question Declan on some damaging information published in his book involving Ecuador. Please read it, you will be shocked. He told me that the fix in soccer is a cancer that affects every league, every nation and at every level. It will never be abolished. That remark changed my approach to soccer wagering.

I even asked Les (my FIFA friend) what he thought of the book. He told me that he personally knows some sources that Declan spoke to and commented in the book. He said they are credible football people and their word is legit.

ive seen a youtube clip with declan, he mentions how it goes on in international competitions such as the world cup with teams that dont stand a chance manipulate how many goals they lose by. he also says the large wagers placed are rigging it on the asian markets, whereas betfair or any large book will publicize any irregular betting patterns. match fixing is rampant, and going on across the board.. just look @ the serie a , juventus and milan got popped. its widespread,all sports im convinced, even look at the nba ref donaghy, even wayne rooneys dad and uncle!!!. then there was that tennis player davydenko in tennis..and in college bball, there are enough occurrences.if the fix is in for this match i sure hope itsin ur favor. everyone is a prostitute, just with a different price.bol.

arsenal missing: Marouane Chamakh and Gervinho (African Cup), Coquelin, Vermaelen, Sagna, Jenkinson, Andre Santos and longtime injuried Diaby and Jack Wilshere. Henry and RVP could produce something great but it is hard to imagine they will gel together this early. Even Rosicky and Mertesacker have the flu....Arsenal left a message on my voice mail asking me to play defense for them today. They way Swansea can control the ball and create chances - Arsenal's defense just won't be able to keep in together for 90 mins. I do think we have a goal in us today though...for reasons unknown I think Arshavin plays his best game since the 4 goals he got a couple of years ago...no reason to think it because he is terrible.

The draw no bet pays +200 and to me that would be high enough odds but i do like bold gambling and great price for a home win. I do not bet for or against my club and i will admit cheering against this one - but a home win wouldn't shock me.

i did like the writeup minus the old geezer henry remark...he deserves more respect than that...esp while wearing a Gunner's shirt. But i'm probably bias because he's better than messi in my mind....well.....maybe not anymore :)

SORRY Dial!!!

I thought about you when I wrote it and please don't take it personal. It's the heat of the moment and with injuries and the CAN taking players they are wounded.

I like Henry don't get me wrong its just there is so much chatter about him. For example: Some are saying he will be the second leading scorer at Arsenal before he's done. Next to Van Persie the second best scorer has 5 goals. I know the love for this chap is eternal. He is a bit of a legend and I regret the comment.

balidaplex,

Declan is an intense guy. Match fixing is everywhere but greatest in soccer. I was told FIFA is investigating 100's of matches at any given time.

LOL. I wouldn't go around slamming Wenger. I had a feeling it would be a wide open game but never expected that many goals. I thought it would be 1-0, 2-1.

We got the gunners at the right time.

Moving on!

post 17 or age 17? my guess same thing...anyway no offense about henry - i know he is pretty washed up but guys like him and even the original rinaldo should be treated differently because of what they contributed to the beautiful game. Very nice call on swansea...great payday. I was right about arshavin making a difference but as normal - for the other team. I do wish we would just drop him and move on...i'd rather play with 10 than 11 with arshavin.

Great call - i know utd have issues and arsenal can step it up at home vs top clubs but +163 looks like a great shot next game - hard not to see citeh win by a few tomorrow too.

GL

Dial I am looking at that match. May post if I can find something.

Looking even further at the Arsenal vs Man U next week.

Early thoughts is Over 2.5.

As for your Arshavin comment ....I feel the same way about Drogba and a few others the Blues are hanging on to. They need to move on as well. I don't support any EPL teams just a neutral.
