This weekends English Football

Well don't the weeks just fly by!

It seems like only yesterday I was celebrating my 'small' Goal-Rush bet coming in, and yet here we are ready for another weekend of topsy-turvey football action.

Having studied fixtures and form sheets I have decided to once again to select my 'Big Four' (as I shall refer to them as from here on) as the backbone of my selection for this weekends coupon.  The 'Big Four' in question are Leeds, Doncaster, Watford & Peterborough.

Therefore, my two Goal-Rush coupons will consist of the following matches;
Leeds United v Scunthorpe *
Doncaster v Reading *
Watford v Derby County *
Brighton Hove Albion v Peterborough United*
Stoke City v Bolton Wanderers
Tottenham Hotspurs v Manchester United
Norwich City v Cardiff City
Rochdale v Leyton Orient

Assuming odds are constant, I should see odds of 8/1 for the small bet and 90/1 for the big bet.  I will place £2 on each line when I visit my friends at Ladbrokes this morning.

Sunday will also be the Second City derby between Aston Villa and Birmingham City.  I must be crazy to back Aston Villa at the moment, but perhaps all this transfer talk has clouded my thinking and i'm going to have a couple of pounds on Aston Villa to win 2-1 with Gabby Agbonlahor to score the first goal.  Ladbrokes are offering 45/1, but William Hill will currently return 60/1!  I am about to investigate their online service and see quite how their free £25 bet works.
