Dunk could be worth a punt as well today, also due a goal

Good to see Steve Martin back as the 4th official........

Big game today, but I guess they're all big from here on in. Potential to finish the day 2nd or 4th.

Best scenarion: We could potentially end the day 2nd and a massive 12 points clear of 7th place.
Worst scenario: We could potentially end the day 4th with Sheffield Wednesday only a point behind.

 

[Tarpon]

Knock 2 goals or more 50/1

Grey day but not too wet just yet. Setting off over the bridge in an hour or so.
Odds all saying 0-0 so I fancy a five goal thriller.
3-2 to the guys in dayglo yellow!

Download aceplayer on to your computer. You don't have to sign up for anything. It's just a media player program. Like your already installed windows media player. Has a blue traffic cone as a logo.

Then go to www.livefootballol.com and have a look in the streaming section. There should be one today. Click on the aceplayer link for that game and it will open aceplayer automatically so you can watch it. No ads and no clicking them away or signing up to anything. Should be good quality too.
