some thoughts

Interesting start to the seasons in Spain and England. A few big favourites winning as planned, while som really bombed. Liverpool showed once again why they won´t be a team for the fans to be joyful about this season either. Even a man down they shouldnt lose 0-3 at WBA, useless team and the season is already over for Liverpool fans.

Two games ended 5-0 in the PL. Not too common and most interesting is that QPR, who are one of my relegation teams, lost at home to Swansea by that result. The start of a really poor season for QPR is my guess. Best thing in England was Everton´s win. Not only did man Utd lose but it made me money.

In Spain, Real drew 1-1 at home to Valencia in a really dull game. Valencia are really interested in challenging the top 2 teams this season and couldn´t have asked for a better start. They should actually have won as they had a goal wrongly disallowed, so this must have been really good for the Valenciano confidence. barcelona won big but IMO they met a team that had given up before the game started. They didn´t care and probably consider next week the start of the season for them. Bilbao lost 3-5 to Betis. A shock result, but Betis played really well and scored some great goals. But Bilbao´s defence was awful though.

I have a feeling that Malaga will go well this season and they started with an awaywin to Celta and next week they play at home to another team that played well in the first round, Mallorca. The most interesting game of the next round IMO.

In segunda Barcelona B lost 4-5 at home to Almeria and they did not play well. Real Madrid Castilla were even worse when losing to Villareal. My thoughts on them heaving a tough season might become true, even though they got a penalty in this game.

Elche and Xerez won in good ways and both have tough games next week as Elche play a derby against Alicante-based Hercules and Xerez travel to Almeria. las Palmas and Lugo both won and they meet each other next time, an interesting game, especially as Las palmas were really good away to Racing.

But the game of the round next time is offcourse the minor classico when Real Madrid castilla take on barcelona B.

Now Segunda B starts too with my Cartagena trying to get back to Segunda. Last season they were really poor but the season before they were in a promotion spot in Segunda all of the first half of the season. They are too good for Segunda B and I have hopes for s good season. In Tercera I one agian will support Mar Menor as they are from San Javier.

Also this week the leagues in Italy and Germany start. Not any leagues I can claim to have much knowledge in. But I have followed a bet that I think Pete from william Hill inplay radio put up. No, not in Germany, that usually is the league he is awesome in, but in Italy. I think I heard him talk about Viola winning Serie A and looking at the prices I had a bet on that.

I was a bit unlucky with some bets this weekend but still had a good weekend.

Everton, Newcastle, Deportivo, Villareal, Malaga all won.

Will be back in a few days with new bets
