TALKING TACTICS
- MIDDLESBROUGH v WEST HAM UNITED 31-10-08
Ian Gill
It's nice to start an article with us in the top half of the table.
As we expected Citeh were good at passing the ball, showed good movement but gave us the chance to play. They are not the powerhouses of Liverpool and Chelsea nor are they the thoroughbreds represented by Manchester United.
The formation was much as we expected so as an advocate of a bit of stability - no complaints. Digard and O’Neil did better than previously in midfield so that is a plus point. We still look a bit open in the centre but there is hope we can tighten up a touch. I think we will shelve my thoughts of Shawky paired with Digard for now but Arca coming on as a replacement for Digard was a bit scary.
Column continues below...

There are still some issues to address but it was pleasing to see an improvement in passing and hence giving our attack more opportunities.
The first goal was crucial and it was important we resisted the Citeh attacks – a special mention in despatches for Turnbull.
We need no lessons about not scoring when you have the chance so scant sympathy for Mark Hughes (miserable sod) and his team.
Was it a penalty? It was on Wednesday when Alves placed it past the keeper and oddly it was in my paper this morning. I double checked and it says Alves 53 (pen). As the papers always tell the truth that is the end of that debate. O’Neill didn’t look unhappy about scoring so that is another monkey off a back.
The ref had a shocker. More Lee Evans than Lee Mason.
Moving on to West Ham, they are a club in strife but we do not want to show any charity.
The team picks itself and hopefully we won't have picked up any injuries. It is important to build some momentum and allow the players to form understandings.
Listening to pundits talking about Spurs a couple of weeks ago was illuminating.
The view was that the players needed to look at themselves and see if they and their partners were doing their bit.
Centre backs should be making sure they did their jobs and did it for each other. They should also be making sure they work with the keeper. Same for the right back and right side midfield player and throughout the team for other pairs.
Work in pairs to make sure you were doing the best you could. Then as people covered each other it would spread through the team as the pairs worked as larger units to become an effective team.
The logical extension is that any players coming into the team would know the role they were to adopt and play to a pattern. The wonderful football that Manchester United and Arsenal can play isn’t an accident, it is a result of hard graft and teamwork.
The final thought is what a gem we have in Tuncay - no wonder he is a hero in Turkey. He plays with a smile on his face and with such a wholehearted attitude.
A short article this week but it comes with a simple message - more of the same please.

A GUARANTEED PROFIT OF AT LEAST £45.20 ON SPAIN U21 v GERMANY U21
The European U-21 Championship kicks off on Monday and did you know that it is possible to win money on Monday evening's clash between Spain U21 and Germany U21, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 7.45pm UK Time and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £45.20, whatever the result of the match. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time, you will be at least £45.20 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If
they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
Also, please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using,
you won't be able to do this. If that is the case, mail
us or phone us on 01642 223229 as we have alternative bets written and ready to mail out to you using different bookies.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match and we will collect £134.20 if Spain U21 win, £136.50 if Germany U21 win and £135.00 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Paddy Power.
Open an account with Bet On Bet.
Open an account with Bet 24.
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £25.00 into your new Paddy Power account.
Deposit £36.00 into your Bet On Bet account.
Deposit £28.00 into your new Bet 24 account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Back the draw with £25.00 at 11/5 with Paddy Power.
Paddy Power will now add a £25.00 bonus to your account. Place this on the draw as well. You will now have £50.00 riding on the draw.
Back Spain U21 with £36.00 at odds of 2.20 (6/5) with Bet On Bet.
Bet On Bet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £61.00 riding on Spain U21.
The £25.00 matched bet will not show in your account but you can read all about how it works on the Bet On Bet site.
Place £28.00 on Germany U21 at odds of 3.25 with Bet 24.
Bet 24 will now add a £14.00 bonus to your account. Place this on Germany U21 as well. You will now have £42.00 riding on Germany U21.
If you are unsure about placing these bets, please feel free to mail us or call us on 01642 223229 and we will talk you through it, no problem at all. There is no such thing as a stupid
question.
You have temporarily laid out a total of £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game. All winnings are paid out on the ninety minute result.
If it's a draw, you collect £135.00 from Paddy Power.
If Spain U21 win, you collect £134.20 from Bet On Bet.
If Germany U21 win, you collect £136.50 from Bet 24.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match is Spain U21 win and you make £45.20 profit. However, if Germany U21 win you make £47.50 profit and if it is a draw you make £46.00 profit. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, a much better rate of interest than you would get at any high street bank or building society.
6. It is absolutely vital that you click on the links on this page to open the accounts with the three bookies or you may not qualify for the
bonuses/free bets.
Also, before you place your bets, you should check that the odds haven't changed. If they have, let us know by mail or phone us on 01642 223229 and we will rework the bet
for you.
There is a wagering requirement at Bet 24. You have to roll your winnings over before we can withdraw them but it is very easy to do this risk-free. If Germany U21 win, please contact us and we'll show you exactly how to do this. Winnings from the other two bookies are immediately withdrawable.
Please feel free to contact us or phone us on 01642 223229 if you have any questions at all about this bet and we will help you as much as we can.
Please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using, you

This method of betting was used very successfully during the 2006 World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.
We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that
question is that this is the fifth season that we have been publishing these kind of bets and literally hundreds of people have profited from
following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our
advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers, which is highly unlikely.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to
claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these next season.
