Wigan Athletic v Arsenal, Saturday 11th April

My Thoughts

Interesting match-up, this. Arsenal are resurgent right now, their vavavoom seems to have been rediscovered. The return of Fabregas has been integral, although credit must be given also to Arshavin, who has made a smooth transition into the team (Arshavin? Smooth? Geddit? hehehe), and the continuing excellence of Robin van Rapefac...I mean van Persie, although the Dutchman will be missing through injury for the trip to whatever Dave Whelan is calling Wigan's home ground these days. By all accounts, Wigan were dreadful away at Everton on Sunday, although their home form is still fairly decent (7-4-4). Arsenal have the 3rd highest total of away goals in the league (26), and the return of Adebayor and Walcott to their front line should give them a real chance to add to that total.

The Verdict
Arsenal should have too much for a Wigan side who may just be losing their way a little. They have already passed the magic 40-point mark which should keep them up, but don't seem to have enough to make a serious bid for a Europa League place. Away win

The Bet
Emmanuel Adebayor to score anytime (best price 5/4 with Coral)

  1. This blog is freaking awesome, thanks for listening to the sound advice to start one. Even though most of your predictions are going to be wrong you are a million times better than that lifeless, soul devoid fuckwit Mark Lawerson. Gamble away boys.
