2. <br />
3. Hardly surprising; all those football bettors need something to while away the time until next season. That is also a possible reason why so many football themed slots games have appeared over recent years.<br />
4. <br />
5. Slots are the most popular online casino games, football is the most popular sport, so why not combine the two?
6. That is precisely what Microgaming did when they developed the highly entertaining football slot called Shoot, a full 5 reel 50 pay-liner. The name Shoot is derived from the football magazine with that name and some of the game’s features are based on aspects of the magazine.<br />
7. <br />
8. Just as highly collectable old editions of Shoot the magazine show footballers from as long ago as the 1960s, so too does the slots game, which gives it a great retro feel.
9. The regular spin top prize is 50,000 coins and if you spin three scatter symbols you trigger the bonus round. This is a game called Trade ‘Em Bonus in which you are shown 12 cards and you choose four of them. Each card reveals a prize which can be an entry to the Magazine Bonus game or the Free Spins bonus. In the Magazine Bonus game you are shown 12 Shoot magazines and you select four of them which might reveal prizes.<br />
10. <br />
11. There is also a free spins bonus where you can receive from 10 to 35 free spins. These have a multiplayer applied to your winnings and there is a chance to make some very good wins if you are lucky.<br />
12. <br />
13. Shoot is not a slot game for everyone but there are many choices at your average &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.luckynuggetcasino.com/&quot;&gt;online casino&lt;/a&gt;. If was developed for football fans and is a favourite amongst them, but if football is not your scene then you are unlikely to enjoy playing this slot which is entirely focussed on the sport. </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/feeds/2426993778427219127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/06/review-of-football-slots-game-shoot.html#comment-form' title='76 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/2426993778427219127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/2426993778427219127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/06/review-of-football-slots-game-shoot.html' title='Review of football slots game Shoot'/><author><name>Tom Mallows</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421603400914983366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>76</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864492135715651952.post-3608653979886666628</id><published>2013-05-23T13:20:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2013-05-31T13:21:53.877+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Neymar must still Impress at Conf. Cup</title><content type='html'>News that Neymar has agreed in principle to join Barcelona after the 2013 Confederations Cup this summer means even more pressure is on the striker to perform in a Brazil shirt.&lt;br /&gt;
14. <br />
15. Neymar reportedly agreed to join Barcelona last Wednesday after much resistance, with many surprised sports betting fans assuming he would stay in South America until after the 2014 World Cup before transferring to Europe.<br />
16. <br />
17. Well, a year early and with Barcelona in slight dire straights following a disappointing Champions League campaign the move has gone through – but now Neymar must show his worth for his national side.<br />
18. <br />
19. Brazil kick off this summer’s eight-team tournament on 15 June and the majority of Confederations Cup punters expect the Samba Boys to make the final come the end of the month.<br />
20. <br />
21. Neymar is part of a strong attacking unit that also includes Chelsea’s Oscar, Hulk of Zenit and Fred, who has recently found good form at Brazilian club side Fluminense.<br />
22. <br />
23. Yet it is the small 21-year-old that is expected to get the goals this summer and the eyes of the world will be watching him now he’s joined Barcelona.<br />
24. <br />
25. Neymar has impressed many over his blossoming career. Three years ago he was not part of the Brazil World Cup side that travelled to South Africa but since then he’s become the main forward outlet of the team, playing every game of the 2012 Olympics last summer and bagging three goals.<br />
26. <br />
27. What most inspired the watching fans over that two-week tournament was the player’s confidence to go for goal. Neymar forced 26 shots in just six games, proving why he is such an exciting player to watch and why Brazilian fans expect so much from him.<br />
28. <br />
29. Well, this summer he must replicate that form and justify why Barcelona are set to spend millions bringing him to Spain. The youngster has handled pressure before but this is a whole new ball game.<br />
30. <br />
31. &lt;i&gt;Neymar may get his chance on Sunday against England. Hodgson&#39;s men &lt;a href=&quot;http://betting.betfair.com/football/internationals/england-reaction-hodgson-must-keep-brazil-guessing-300513-579.html&quot;&gt;need to keep the Samba Boys guessing&lt;/a&gt;.

32. <br />
33. The Hammers finished off their season in fine style on Sunday, with skipper Kevin Nolan netting a hat-trick as they beat relegated Reading 4-2 at Upton Park, to confirm their position in the top half of the table.<br />
34. <br />
35. Having been promoted via the play-offs last season, it’s been a highly successful campaign for the East Londoners and with Allardyce recently signing a new two-year contract, the future certainly looks bright for West Ham.<br />
36. <br />
37. However, the boss is certainly not looking to rest on his laurels and knows he has to continue to build his squad if they are to develop.<br />
38. <br />
39. Key to their chances will be keeping Carroll, who after arriving on loan from Liverpool last summer, has established himself as a key member of the starting line-up.<br />
40. <br />
41. The two clubs are currently locked in negotiations over a permanent deal, with the player’s wages thought to be one of the main stumbling blocks.<br />
42. <br />
43. Allardyce knows just how important the 24-year-old's signing could be to his side’s chances and has made hammering out a deal for the player his main priority for the summer.<br />
44. <br />
45. "If we can start with Andy Carroll that would be a great achievement for us as he can only get better and better," the experienced boss said. "Then we build around that in terms of how we want to improve next year, with better quality. It is our target to make it a permanent situation."<br />
46. <br />
47. "Hopefully we can get somewhere in the near future to do that.  It’s our main priority.  There are negotiations between the club and Liverpool.”<br />

They have won a trophy, qualified for the Champions League, and miraculously kept a squad together over 69 competitive fixtures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their only major downfall was in the Champions League, where Roberto Di Matteo failed to inspire the same guile and courage that steered the Blues to the final just a few months earlier, despite heavy support in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://betting.betfair.com/football/champions-league/&quot;&gt;odds on Champions League&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chelsea crashed out of a group they really should have won, coming third behind Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk. But Wednesday’s Europa triumph was adequate silver lining for that dark cloud on their season and at least they’ve earned a trophy – unlike Arsenal, Spurs, Manchester City, and Liverpool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Premier League, the remit was to stay in the title race but Manchester United’s dominance meant that was impossible, so Rafael Benitez gets a B+ for finishing third (assuming they win on Sunday).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The League Cup was by no means a priority yet they still made the semi-finals: an achievement replicated in the FA Cup, where they came up against a City side desperate to make something of their own season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, Chelsea also had a jet-lagging trip to Japan for the FIFA Club World Cup, which they lost in the final, suffered defeat in the UEFA Super Cup and lost a start-of-season Community Shield clash with City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the final whistle blows at Stamford Bridge this weekend, the Blues will have completed their 69th game of the season, almost fitting two Premier League campaigns into one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact they continued to battle hard against Benfica right to the end is a credit to the coaching staff, Benitez, and the players themselves, who proved last season’s success was no fluke and that hard work really does pay off in the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://betting.betfair.com/football/premier-league/end-of-season-report-chelsea-200513-579.html&quot;&gt;End of Season Report on Betfair&lt;/a&gt; for more insight into the Blues’ most recent campaign.&lt;/i&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/feeds/1518634907581911023/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/05/charting-chelseas-long-season.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/1518634907581911023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/1518634907581911023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/05/charting-chelseas-long-season.html' title='Charting Chelsea’s Long Season'/><author><name>Tom Mallows</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421603400914983366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864492135715651952.post-4440273760292701032</id><published>2013-05-07T11:41:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2013-05-07T11:41:07.840+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Champions Across Europe</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

1206. After a brilliant start to the campaign, the Toffees have struggled for results in recent months and the defeat at the Stadium of Light means they have now won just once in their last four league outings.<br />
1207. The defeat on Wearside has left them sitting sixth in the table, six points behind Chelsea with just four games left and with both Liverpool and the Blues still to come, it now looks highly unlikely that they will finish in the top four.<br />
1208. This will be even more disappointing to Toffees fans as with him yet to sign a new contract, it looks like this could be the final year with Moyes at the helm, while the likes of Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines being rumoured to be on their way out of Goodison Park in the summer.<br />
1209. The Scot has been on Merseyside since 2002 and his achievements in turning Everton from relegation candidates to European contenders have not gone unnoticed, with him recently being linked with moves to both Chelsea and Schalke.<br />
1210. The 49-year-old is yet to make a decision on his career, but admits his side’s chances of finishing in the top four this time around are probably now all but over.<br />
1211. "I don't think we can qualify now," Moyes admitted. "We had to keep winning and keep on going, and even if we did keep on winning we would still have been outsiders.<br />
1212. "This defeat means we have to put an end to all that.<br />
1213. "We can just keep winning games and who knows. We will try and finish in a Europa League position," he added.<br />

1542. Manchester United have joined rivals, Arsenal, in preparing
1543. for new Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations after agreeing a deal to sell the
1544. naming rights of their training ground for a whopping £120m.</div>
1545. <div class="MsoNormal">
1546. <br /></div>
1547. <div class="MsoNormal">
1548. The deal breaks down to a £15m, eight-year agreement with
1549. current shirt sponsor AON to display the insurance firm’s name on training
1550. kits, pre-season tour campaigns and the name of United’s Carrington training
1551. facility.</div>
1552. <div class="MsoNormal">
1553. <br /></div>
1554. <div class="MsoNormal">
1555. For the pundits on <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/champions-league/">Betfair</a>,
1556. the move is seen as a clear effort to increase revenue streams before FFP kicks
1557. in, for United may struggle to live within their means unless more income is
1558. generated through sponsorship and merchandising.</div>
1559. <div class="MsoNormal">
1560. <br /></div>
1561. <div class="MsoNormal">
1562. Much like Arsenal, the club lives off its own back and is
1563. aware the FFP rules could cut their spending if the books aren’t balanced. The
1564. Gunners run a tight ship, have paid off the cost of their £390m Emirates
1565. Stadium and, with over £3m of revenue coming in each home game, they are
1566. starting to make money in football.</div>
1567. <div class="MsoNormal">
1568. <br /></div>
1569. <div class="MsoNormal">
1570. They recently signed a new £150m sponsorship agreement with
1571. Emirates until 2019 – bagging them a cool £30m a year from this one source
1572. alone.</div>
1573. <div class="MsoNormal">
1574. <br /></div>
1575. <div class="MsoNormal">
1576. That kind of deal is what United have also begun to strike
1577. and with the fans reluctant to see Old Trafford change its name, Carrington is
1578. the next best thing.</div>
1579. <div class="MsoNormal">
1580. <br /></div>
1581. <div class="MsoNormal">
1582. Although United’s debt is theoretically safe – locked as it
1583. is with current owners, the Glazers – any addition to the club’s income makes
1584. strong financial sense and selling rights to training facilities and kits is an
1585. impressive move.</div>
1586. <div class="MsoNormal">
1587. <br /></div>
1588. <div class="MsoNormal">
1589. They were the first club to sell training kit sponsorship in
1590. August 2011 when they signed a contract with DHL worth £40m for the privilege
1591. and with Chevrolet primed to begin its main shirt sponsorship in 2014 United’s
1592. income is only set to increase.</div>
1593. <div class="MsoNormal">
1594. <br /></div>
1595. <div class="MsoNormal">
1596. Unlike <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/premier-league/premier-league-back-newcastle-to-keep-a-clean-sheet-as-sunderland-tumble-further-towards-the-trapdoo-110413-184.html">Premier League</a> rivals, Manchester City and Chelsea –
1597. who may struggle to cope with FFP when their owners cannot simply pump money
1598. into the club – United and Arsenal are doing the right thing in selling their
1599. assets for all they’re worth.</div>

2693. Leeds United are to begin their search for a new manager
2694. after current boss, Neil Warnock, confirmed at the weekend that he won’t stay
2695. at the club unless they achieve a miraculous promotion to the Premier League.</div>
2696. <div class="MsoNormal">
2697. <br /></div>
2698. <div class="MsoNormal">
2699. With Leeds currently languishing 10<sup>th</sup> in the
2700. Championship and without a win in four games, the chances of them clawing back a
2701. seven-point deficit over sixth-place Leicester to make the playoffs is highly
2702. unlikely and the new owners are already looking at next season for the big
2703. push.</div>
2704. <div class="MsoNormal">
2705. <br /></div>
2706. <div class="MsoNormal">
2707. Now Warnock is leaving, many Leeds fans in the betting world
2708. are wondering who will be the new man in charge and, as luck would have it, a
2709. fresh name has just become available that would be perfect for the Yorkshire
2710. club.</div>
2711. <div class="MsoNormal">
2712. <br /></div>
2713. <div class="MsoNormal">
2714. Michael Appleton was this week sacked by Blackburn Rovers
2715. after just 15 games and 67 days in charge. His reign was nothing compared to
2716. previous Rovers boss Henning Berg (who lasted a mere 57 days) but nevertheless the
2717. departure has shocked fans in the betting world.</div>
2718. <div class="MsoNormal">
2719. <br /></div>
2720. <div class="MsoNormal">
2721. For Appleton is one of the best young bosses currently
2722. without a job having made a success out of stints at both Portsmouth and
2723. Blackpool before Rovers came calling.</div>
2724. <div class="MsoNormal">
2725. <br /></div>
2726. <div class="MsoNormal">
2727. Evidently that career move was a mistake but there is
2728. currently no disgrace in failing at Blackburn – a club completely rudderless in
2729. its direction and going nowhere fast.</div>
2730. <div class="MsoNormal">
2731. <br /></div>
2732. <div class="MsoNormal">
2733. Leeds, on the other hand, have owners who want to move the
2734. club forward sensibly and strategically; and one cannot help thinking Appleton
2735. needs managerial stability to fully implement his footballing ethos.</div>
2736. <div class="MsoNormal">
2737. <br /></div>
2738. <div class="MsoNormal">
2739. He would get time and reasonable resources at Leeds next
2740. season and should relish the challenge of automatic promotion. What United fans
2741. crave more than anything else is a return to the Premier League and with Appleton
2742. at the helm that dream can be realised come May 2014.</div>

3125. <br />
3126. This apparent saint of the English game, who somehow miraculously keeps afloat poor little Everton despite the frugal, conservative financial restrictions of their owner, ranks among one of the biggest sob stories of the modern game.<br />
3127. <br />
3128. Moyes himself is tipped for greatness in future seasons. People keep saying he has outgrown Everton and is set for a major job in European football very soon, with Manchester United still the favourite destination over at <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/daily-tipping/">Betfair</a>.<br />
3129. <br />
3130. Yet why would United appoint a man who hasn’t won a trophy in 11 years at the club?<br />
3131. <br />
3132. Moyes proved on Saturday afternoon he is not a manager capable of handling expectations, for this quarter-final clash was huge. Everton are not a relegation threatened side any more and without a trophy in over a decade the fans crave their successful return to a bygone age.<br />
3133. <br />
3134. Plenty of pundits, including the writer of this <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/fa-cup/everton-v-wigan-a-tighter-game-than-league-positions-suggest-080313-629.html">Everton v Wigan preview</a>, suggested the game would be tighter than many people had predicted, but the Toffees simply collapsed in the face of minimal resistance from Roberto Martinez’s well drilled – if wildly unpredictable – Wigan outfit.<br />
3135. <br />
3136. Fans may argue he got Everton to Wembley in ‘09 – well Harry Redknapp won the Cup with Portsmouth while Tony Pulis, Dave Jones, Dennis Wise and Gordon Strachan have all reached the final during Moyes’ tenure. None of that quintet are managing elite European clubs.<br />
3137. <br />
3138. For some reason there appears to be this belief that Moyes deserves to win a cup as reward for all his hard work on Merseyside. Well, he will be the first to say that is not how football works and Everton’s two cup exits this season proves he is incapable of steering them to a domestic trophy.<br />
3139. <br />
3140. Their meek performance against Wigan was worse than that versus Leeds United in the Capital One Cup, where the Toffees limped out 2-1 at Elland Road. Everton had a real chance of winning this trophy – especially with a number of big guns already out the competition – but failed tactically and inspirationally when it really mattered.<br />
3141. <br />
3142. It might sound cold and of course it would be nice if Everton did win something for once, but praising Moyes as this managerial mogul without much to prove for it is just nonsense.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/feeds/897175462692706262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/03/cup-exit-proves-moyes-limitations.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/897175462692706262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/897175462692706262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/03/cup-exit-proves-moyes-limitations.html' title='Cup Exit Proves Moyes Limitations'/><author><name>Tom Mallows</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421603400914983366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864492135715651952.post-4317006757178617372</id><published>2013-02-26T13:24:00.000+00:00</published><updated>2013-03-05T13:24:49.576+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Spurs should easily see off Inter</title><content type='html'>Tottenham’s reward for their stoppage-time win over Lyon in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 is a two-legged tie with Internazionale, which begins this week at White Hart Lane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andre Villas-Boas’ side are in good form of late and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bet365.com/news/en/betting/football&quot;&gt;football betting news&lt;/a&gt; pundits believe that they can make the top four this season, earn safe passage to the Champions League group stage and do battle with the best teams Europe has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before then, however, there is the small matter of winning the Europa League – a genuine prospect for AVB’s men who have taken Europe by storm this season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having successfully navigated through a tough group stage, Spurs slipped past the Ligue 1 outfit thanks to Moussa Dembele’s late strike in the Stade Gerland. All great teams need a slice of luck like this, yet, up against Inter, they may not need quite as much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Inter are currently in a real slump in Serie A and many fans who &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bet365.com/news/en/betting&quot;&gt;bet on football&lt;/a&gt; expect manager, Andrea Stramaccioni, to restrict players from European action in order to concentrate on the league. Two weeks ago they were lucky to come away with a home 1-1 draw against city rivals AC Milan and in mid February lost 4-1 to fellow-Euro chasers Fiorentina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Inter still pack a punch, with Rodrigo Palacio likely to pop up with a goal at any time, while Javier Zanetti is more than capable of structuring their midfield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet Spurs should not be too worried about Inter this week. Three years ago, the teams met in Champions League competition and the Italian giants’ experience was just enough to topple Tottenham’s youthful exuberance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three years on and Spurs have grown from a team new to Europe to one capable of challenging for trophies and with Gareth Bale, Emmanuel Adebayor, Dembele and young Lewis Holtby they have a mix of talent, experience and determination that should see them through to the quarters. &lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/feeds/4317006757178617372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/02/spurs-should-easily-see-off-inter.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/4317006757178617372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/4317006757178617372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/02/spurs-should-easily-see-off-inter.html' title='Spurs should easily see off Inter'/><author><name>Tom Mallows</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421603400914983366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864492135715651952.post-5130142552540721798</id><published>2013-02-24T14:08:00.000+00:00</published><updated>2013-03-04T14:08:22.896+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Bradford’s Adventure comes to an Uncomfortable End</title><content type='html'>Bradford City fans had dared to dream the impossible dream; they believed that after a remarkable run to Wembley, the Bantams could overhaul one more giant and lift the League Cup.&lt;br /&gt;
3143. <br />
3144. Given they had already dumped Wigan, Aston Villa and Arsenal out of the competition, the idea of Yorkshire club beating Swansea was suddenly not such a fanciful one.<br />
3145. <br />
3146. Sadly for the 32,000 fans that travelled down from West Yorkshire, the yawning gap between League Two and the Premier League was ruthlessly exposed, though that only served to show how impressive Bradford’s achievements were in making it to the final in the first place.<br />
3147. <br />
3148. What made this year’s final special, however, was that whoever won, there would be a fantastic story behind it.<br />
3149. <br />
3150. Ten years ago Swansea were battling to stay in the football league, but their remarkable rise – done without a billionaire benefactor yet still playing attractive, highly skilled football – was capped with their first major trophy in 100 years.<br />
3151. <br />
3152. Michael Laudrup can rightly take credit for what the team has done this season, but so can Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers, visionary managers whose philosophy re-built and re-moulded the football club into something the fans would have scarcely imagined a decade ago.<br />
3153. <br />
3154. The big question is now - just how far can they go? They already have a European place in the bag and are on course for their highest top-flight finish for more than 30 years.<br />
3155. <br />
3156. Keeping Laudrup at the helm could be their first challenge given apparent interest from Real Madrid. But looking at how they seamlessly moved on from Martinez and Rodgers, I highly doubt the Dane’s departure would stop the Swansea fairytale from continuing on a while yet.<br />
3157. <br />
3158. &lt;i&gt;While Swansea may be on their way to the Europa League, fans of the competition will need to find an alternative club to bet on this season.

3159. <br />
3160. "I want to see how we do in the cups, I want to see how we do in the league, and it's more than likely I won't make a decision until the end of the season," Moyes was quoted as saying on  <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/europa-league/">Betfair Football</a> last week.<br />
3161. <br /> Chairman Bill Kenwright has been open in his desire to sell the club, saying he simply does not have any spare cash, with any the club does have all going to the manager.<br /><br />However, he has been saying that for more than five years now and with no new buyer on the horizon, it seems unlikely Moyes will receive the assurances he needs in order to commit himself to the club once more.<br /><br />It isn’t just a case of Moyes jumping ship, however, as his potential new sides also come with caveats. <br />
3162. <br />
3163. Chelsea and Manchester United are two names frequently mentioned in <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/capital-one-cup/">Betfair</a> markets, but would the Red Devils go for Moyes, a boss who has never managed in the Champions League? And would Moyes want to make the move to Chelsea, despite all the extra financial backing he would get, given the job insecurity it would bring? Moyes calls all the shots at Goodison Park with no interference from the board, something he would certainly not get at Stamford Bridge.<br />
3164. <br />
3165. Rumours over the weekend suggested Arsenal may be a destination, with the pressure growing on Arsene Wenger.<br />
3166. <br />
3167. Given we are entering the final three months of the season, we won’t have to wait long to find out whether Moyes&#39; time on Merseyside is coming to an end. But speak to plenty of Everton fans and they are already bracing themselves for his departure.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/feeds/5739593885819889195/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/02/moyes-contract-adds-to-uncertainty.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/5739593885819889195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/5739593885819889195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/02/moyes-contract-adds-to-uncertainty.html' title='Moyes contract adds to uncertainty'/><author><name>Tom Mallows</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421603400914983366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864492135715651952.post-6883879163910791900</id><published>2013-02-13T09:49:00.000+00:00</published><updated>2013-02-13T09:49:08.231+00:00</updated><title type='text'>The Bull Versus the Artist</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

3495. Among the numerous one-on-one battles in Glasgow, as Celtic
3496. entertained <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/champions-league/">Champions League betting</a> favourites, Juventus, on Tuesday night,
3497. one stood out as maybe the most captivating midfield duel of the season.</div>
3498. <div class="MsoNormal">
3499. <br /></div>
3500. <div class="MsoNormal">
3501. While Gary Hooper and Stephan Lichtsteiner wrestled each
3502. other in the penalty area and Gigi Buffon handled Kris Commons’ long-range
3503. efforts with ease, in the middle of the park, Scott Brown and Andrea Pirlo,
3504. were going hell for leather.</div>
3505. <div class="MsoNormal">
3506. <br /></div>
3507. <div class="MsoNormal">
3508. Brown, the Hoops captain that leads by example, used Celtic
3509. Park’s atmosphere to his advantage. He looked focussed and energised in the
3510. tunnel before kick off and brought that passion onto the field – his
3511. instructions evidently to mark Pirlo out the game.</div>
3512. <div class="MsoNormal">
3513. <br /></div>
3514. <div class="MsoNormal">
3515. While Brown was positively frothing at the mouth, Pirlo
3516. looked his cool, calm self. He’s seen this all before: the crowd, the
3517. animosity, the occasion. He knew what would be coming his way and prepared for
3518. it as he has prepared for uncountable one-on-one battles over the years.</div>
3519. <div class="MsoNormal">
3520. <br /></div>
3521. <div class="MsoNormal">
3522. Early in the first half the bull and the matador collided,
3523. and it was the bull that got the first dig. Brown left Pirlo dispossessed after
3524. the Italian slipped and a minute later the pair clashed again, this time Pirlo
3525. almost losing his rag.</div>
3526. <div class="MsoNormal">
3527. <br /></div>
3528. <div class="MsoNormal">
3529. However, in the next play, Juve’s defenders passed into the
3530. centre to Pirlo. The bull charged head on, about to implant a challenge that
3531. would put his adversary out the game. Pirlo had other ideas, dropping a
3532. shoulder before turning away with the ball, the matador away and free as the
3533. bull fell to the ground.</div>
3534. <div class="MsoNormal">
3535. <br /></div>
3536. <div class="MsoNormal">
3537. That one deft move set the tone for the game, and, when
3538. Claudio Marchisio made it 2-0 late on, the Celtic beast died. Pundits on <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/fa-cup/">Betfair.com</a>
3539. felt that the Hoops certainly deserved more for their troubles and they had
3540. plenty of chances to score, but that is the fate of the bull, and, as always in
3541. the bullring, the matador comes out on top.</div>

Much credit must go to Hoffenheim’s new stopper, for Gomes proved why he has 11 international caps for Brazil with a string of saves as Freiburg’s attack battled in vain to encroach his goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Gomes wouldn’t be Gomes without a little misfortune – the Brazilian stopped Max Kruse’s initial effort just four minutes in but parried the ball straight back to the striker to tap home the opener – yet when Kevin Vollard set the scores level on 10 minutes the goalkeeper appeared to settle between the sticks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heading into another round of Bundesliga fixtures this weekend, Hoffenheim sit nervously in 16th place and seven points behind Wolfsburg in 15th. They face Hannover next week before welcoming Stuttgart to the Rhein Neckar Arena, two games that fans&lt;a href=&quot;http://betting.betfair.com/football/&quot;&gt; football betting online&lt;/a&gt; have earmarked as potential upsets in Hoffenheim’s favour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The importance of these three points from last Saturday can therefore not go unnoticed. With their first win since 3 November, Hoffenheim should now have confidence to go forward and attack both Hannover and Stuttgart, who have been largely unimpressive this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Gomes behind them, they have a competent goalkeeper with Premier League experience that has settled in well at the club: an invaluable figure for a relegation-threatened side heading into the back-end of the season.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/feeds/4809714299179963230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/02/gomes-arrival-sparks-immediate-success.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/4809714299179963230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/4809714299179963230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/02/gomes-arrival-sparks-immediate-success.html' title='Gomes Arrival Sparks Immediate Success at Hoffenheim'/><author><name>Tom Mallows</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421603400914983366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864492135715651952.post-4489196245642207239</id><published>2013-02-04T09:47:00.003+00:00</published><updated>2013-02-04T09:47:27.208+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Golden Generation Fails Again</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

3874. The Ivory Coast’s so-called Golden Generation has once again
3875. failed to live up to the <a href="http://www.bet365.com/news/en/betting/football">expectations of football betting news pundits</a> after
3876. crashing out of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations to unfancied Nigeria.</div>

3879. <div class="MsoNormal">
3880. The Elephants, spearheaded by legendary striker, Didier
3881. Drogba, struggled to puncture a resolute Nigerian defence that held off Ivory
3882. Coast’s formidable strike force just enough to earn a 2-1 victory in the Afcon
3883. quarter-finals.</div>
3884. <div class="MsoNormal">
3885. <br /></div>
3886. <div class="MsoNormal">
3887. The result has shocked fans who <a href="http://www.bet365.com/news/en/betting/football/international-football">wasted an in-play bet offer on the side</a>, many of whom expected Ivory Coast to finally get over their heavy
3888. name tag of ‘favourites’ and claim the continent’s greatest international
3889. football trophy for the first time in 21 years (they won the Afcon 11-10 on
3890. penalties in 1992). <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">      </span></div>
3891. <div class="MsoNormal">
3892. <br /></div>
3893. <div class="MsoNormal">
3894. Indeed, the pain will be felt ever more so in the Ivorian
3895. dressing room, for this defeat ends an era of the so-called Golden Generation,
3896. a group of players destined to win trophy after trophy and put African football
3897. on the map.</div>
3898. <div class="MsoNormal">
3899. <br /></div>
3900. <div class="MsoNormal">
3901. Yet after five Afcon tournaments and two World Cups since
3902. 2006, this Ivorian generation leaves with nothing to boast of. Drogba and
3903. midfielder, Didier Zakora, have both played their last tournament for the
3904. Elephants, while even the formidable Yaya Toure suggested recently he will soon
3905. hang up his international boots.</div>
3906. <div class="MsoNormal">
3907. <br /></div>
3908. <div class="MsoNormal">
3909. It is disappointing yet not too surprising this team failed
3910. to win the 2013 Afcon, for they have never coped well under the pressure of
3911. being favourites and, despite boasting a large number of top-flight players in
3912. their midst, have struggled for consistency when major tournaments begin.</div>
3913. <div class="MsoNormal">
3914. <br /></div>
3915. <div class="MsoNormal">
3916. While Ivory Coast have stuttered on the big stage, Nigeria,
3917. Ghana and Cameroon have taken the baton of Africa’s major footballing force in

3922. Sadly, we should expect no different should the Elephants

3926. <br />
3927. No doubt Derby v Blackburn, Hull v Barnsley and Huddersfield v Leicester will see little air time on Match of the Day Saturday evening, but just ask fans of this Championship sextuple if they care about progressing or not. The answer will overwhelmingly be positive, and up against opponents from the same league all six teams will fancy their chances on Saturday.<br />
3928. <br />
3929. Looking at the <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/fa-cup/">FA Cup betting</a>, as well as the form guide, Leicester appear favourites to progress, sitting as they do second in the league against 18th placed Huddersfield. They beat the Terriers 6-1 at the Walkers Stadium on New Year’s day and have won both ties ever played between the two at the John Smiths (formerly the Galpharm) Stadium.<br />
3930. <br />
3931. Derby and Blackburn must both fancy their chances between each other: just one point separating the pair in the league and equal on +1 goal difference. These sides have played more than 100 competitive fixtures over the years and in October shared a 1-1 draw at Pride Park. Expect another close encounter with neither side showing good form of late.<br />
3932. <br />
3933. Possibly the most enticing Championship tie of the fourth round is relegation-threatened Barnsley’s trip east, where a Hull side stuck in a rut awaits. This cross-Yorkshire derby saw Hull sneak a 1-0 win earlier in the season but under new boss David Flitcroft the Tykes have begun to turn things around. They have won two of their last three matches and rose off the bottom of the table – a feat few fans in the thought would happen.The best value <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/daily-tipping/">tips football</a> -wise this weekend could well be with the Tykes.<br />
3934. <br />
3935. Hull are without a win in five matches (excluding their extra-time exploits over Leyton Orient in round three) and harbour hopes of gaining promotion this season, so Steve Bruce’s side may waver their Cup efforts and not prove the formidable opponents their league position suggests.

4643. The look on Fernando Torres’ face as he took his seat on the
4644. Chelsea substitutes bench before kick-off against Stoke City on Saturday
4645. afternoon said it all.</div>
4646. <div class="MsoNormal">
4647. <br /></div>
4648. <div class="MsoNormal">
4649. New boy, Demba Ba, who joined the club for just 14% of
4650. Torres’ transfer fee a week ago, was given the nod for a second time in three
4651. games and proved a competent lone striker against two of the Premier League’s
4652. toughest and most robust centre-halves.</div>
4653. <div class="MsoNormal">
4654. <br /></div>
4655. <div class="MsoNormal">
4656. Granted, Ba did not score but that does not matter: he did
4657. his job, was instrumental in Chelsea’s forward plays and looked a constant
4658. threat up front.</div>
4659. <div class="MsoNormal">
4660. <br /></div>
4661. <div class="MsoNormal">
4662. Indeed, he may not have found the net but his ability to
4663. hold the ball up, distribute to an oncoming midfield, and get into space in the
4664. box proved just what an asset Rafael Benitez now has in his arsenal. </div>
4665. <div class="MsoNormal">
4666. <br /></div>
4667. <div class="MsoNormal">
4668. Chelsea have lacked someone of Ba’s stature and physical
4669. presence since Didier Drogba left in the summer and have struggled because of
4670. it – and we all know how good he was.</div>
4671. <div class="MsoNormal">
4672. <br /></div>
4673. <div class="MsoNormal">
4674. Benitez was brought in to try to inspire more out of Torres
4675. but that effort has not really paid off – the striker has not scored in five
4676. games since Christmas. Chelsea have no other recognised striker after selling
4677. Daniel Sturridge and so Ba’s arrival is pivotal to their efforts to get back
4678. into the title race.</div>
4679. <div class="MsoNormal">
4680. <br /></div>
4681. <div class="MsoNormal">
4682. All this means that when Benitez brings in a £7m signing and
4683. immediately feels the benefit in his two-goal debut against Southampton, it is
4684. clear the boss will start that new arrival for the next couple of games. Torres
4685. looked furious on the bench but there is no real way he can complain if his new
4686. strike partner continually puts in good performances.</div>

4695. <br />
4696. Jagielka signed the new deal on the day <a href="http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/01/03/annual-report-and-accounts-2012">the club released financial results</a> that show a steep increase in net loss from £5.4m in 2010/11 to £9.1m in 2011/12 – a rise mainly down to higher wage demands as David Moyes builds a more competitive squad.<br />
4697. <br />
4698. Indeed, the club now reportedly spend £63.4m on player salaries per year, around 75% of its turnover. In 2010/11 Everton were the 15th highest spenders in the league yet finished in 7th place, a result that raised this patronising adulation for Moyes of having ‘done oh so well on such little resources’.<br />
4699. <br />
4700. Well, with the news Jagielka has signed a new deal and <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2255207/Seamus-Coleman-signs-new-Everton-contract.html">Seamus Coleman extended his contract until 2018</a>, it appears the club are ready to move forward and speculate more with their finances – securing the long-term services of their players so they can stage an attack on the upper echelons of the Premier League, something punters over at <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/premier-league/">Betfair</a>  have taken note of.<br />
4701. <br />
4702. Everton have already looked healthy this season and sit in fifth place below the cavalier Tottenham and an unpredictable Chelsea side. Although income is scarce they have invested in the squad with Steven Pienaar (£4.5m), Kevin Mirallas (£6m) and Nikica Jelavic (£6m) all arriving over the past 12 months and their top four <a href="http://betting.betfair.com/football/">Premier League odds</a> are the lowest they have been for years.<br />
4703. <br />
4704. Moyes was ‘lucky’ <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/aug/31/mikel-arteta-everton-arsenal">to sell Mikel Arteta</a> and <a href="http://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/team-news/2012/august/jack-rodwell-signs-for-manchester-city">Jack Rodwell for £25m combined</a>, two transfers that have probably instigated a new policy of anchoring stalwart players to big contracts.<br />
4705. <br />
4706. For that is where Everton will find success in the future: not in big-name signings but from a team of players together over a number of seasons battling for the same cause. In Jagielka they have a leader in defence for four more years and Coleman an exciting talent for the midfield.<br />
4707. <br />
4708. Darron Gibson, Pienaar and Marouane Fellaini are all tied down until 2016, while Jelavic will stay with the Toffees a year later, meaning Moyes now has a settled squad ready to take on more difficult challenges in the league and in Europe.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/feeds/543646148663349594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/01/everton-begin-policy-to-keep-stars-at.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/543646148663349594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2864492135715651952/posts/default/543646148663349594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://postmatchpint.blogspot.com/2013/01/everton-begin-policy-to-keep-stars-at.html' title='Everton begin policy to keep stars at club'/><author><name>Tom Mallows</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421603400914983366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864492135715651952.post-5961986095218365778</id><published>2012-12-31T11:03:00.002+00:00</published><updated>2012-12-31T11:03:56.535+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Bebe Proven Fergie’s Ultimate Flop with Loan Move</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

5035. <div class="MsoNormal">
5036. Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is often
5037. praised for his shrewd transfer dealings that have brought so much success to
5038. Old Trafford over his 26-year tenure.</div>
5039. <div class="MsoNormal">
5040. <br /></div>
5041. <div class="MsoNormal">
5042. Rio Ferdinand, Eric Cantona, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and a
5043. young Cristiano Ronaldo all arrived under various levels of scrutiny but rose
5044. to become title winners for Ferguson and his Red Devils. Yet, there have been
5045. some duds in the Scotsman’s transfer dealings, with Bebe quite possibly his
5046. biggest ever mistake.</div>
5047. <div class="MsoNormal">
5048. <br /></div>
5049. <div class="MsoNormal">
5050. Bebe, the infamous Portuguese striker brought to Old
5051. Trafford for £7.4m, despite Ferguson having never even seen him play, is the
5052. manager’s ultimate flop after playing just six games, scoring twice, since
5053. arriving in 2010. That is £1.2m a game and £3.7m a goal.</div>
5054. <div class="MsoNormal">
5055. <br /></div>
5056. <div class="MsoNormal">
5057. A stint at Besiktas over the 2011/12 season did little to
5058. convince Ferguson he was ready for the big time at Old Trafford, and after six
5059. months sat on the bench of the reserves, Bebe has finally been moved on –
5060. possibly for the last time.</div>
5061. <div class="MsoNormal">
5062. <br /></div>
5063. <div class="MsoNormal">
5064. The striker has gone out on loan to Portuguese mid-table
5065. side, Rio Ave, and is unlikely ever to return. He will go down as Ferguson’s worst
5066. value-for-money signing: worse then Juan Veron, Kleberson, Eric Djemba Djemba,
5067. and Diego Forlan. These flops at least showed some signs of ability and
5068. flourished outside the Premier League, but Bebe has done nothing, it seems, in
5069. his entire career.</div>
5070. <div class="MsoNormal">
5071. <br /></div>
5072. <div class="MsoNormal">
5073. So, when United fans in the betting world see their ultimate
5074. reserve striker go out on loan this January, they can breathe a huge sigh of
5075. relief and good riddance to a real embarrassment to the club. </div>
5076. <div class="MsoNormal">
5077. <br /></div>
5078. <div class="MsoNormal">
5079. Ferguson was made to look a mug by the entire Bebe affair
5080. and will have learned his lesson from this. It was a PR disaster and proved the
5081. manager does not have control over everything at Old Trafford, something
5082. Ferguson has stringently resurrected since then.</div>
