4/19 Recap: A bit of a technological mishap kept me out of the picks game over the weekend, but after Friday’s results that wasn’t entirely a bad thing. First-half props did not help end my spell of bad betting form. Kevin Long’s awkward own goal was a gut punch for both myself and Burnley. Ajax’s first… Continue reading Playing Out The String – Picks From Across The Pond for April 23, 2018

You Don’t Win The Game At Halftime – Picks From Across The Pond for April 19, 2018
4/18 Recap: I left work at halftime of yesterday’s Serie A games. I was feeling pretty good as I headed home. Juventus was up 1-0 and making a surefire bid for a second. Udinese was level with Napoli and giving them all they could handle. The lone update I checked while in traffic even saw… Continue reading You Don’t Win The Game At Halftime – Picks From Across The Pond for April 19, 2018
Let’s Make Up – Picks From Across The Pond for April 17, 2018
4/16 Recap: If only I could just flip-flop yesterday’s scorelines for my picks. The battle of those who cannot score ended with two goals in Germany. The first one is the talking point though. VAR took its nuttiest turn yet when a penalty was called AT HALFTIME. Pablo de Blasis slotted home the spot kick… Continue reading Let’s Make Up – Picks From Across The Pond for April 17, 2018
Keeping Up Appearances – Picks From Across The Pond for April 16, 2018
4/15 Recap: So much for putting your best foot forward. Roma and Real Madrid were able to get beneficial results for themselves, but in the process screw me over. Roma and Lazio, eternal enemies, put forth maybe the most boring match of 2018 not involving Atletico Madrid with a lead. Two whole shots made it… Continue reading Keeping Up Appearances – Picks From Across The Pond for April 16, 2018
Back From Sabbatical – Picks From Across The Pond for April 14, 2018
4/8 Recap: It has been an eventful week indeed. But being shacked up in a hotel in Secaucus made me more of a spectator than a betting participant. That is the perils of potato wi-fi. Nevertheless, my last picks before my little work sabbatical didn’t do half bad. For the amount of pressure Espanyol absorbed… Continue reading Back From Sabbatical – Picks From Across The Pond for April 14, 2018
Title Deciders – Picks From Across The Pond for April 7, 2018
4/5 Recap: It seems the Europa League has surpassed its big brother in terms of unpredictability. Arsenal ran riot in the first half, scoring 4 in 35 minutes. CSKA got an away goal, but that won’t matter heading back to Russia. In my other pick, I thought I was golden when Salzburg netted an equalizer in… Continue reading Title Deciders – Picks From Across The Pond for April 7, 2018
The All-England Club – Picks From Across The Pond for March 17, 2018
3/16 Recap: After my highs of Thursday, I knew I was going to be brought back down to Earth. To be honest it could have been worse. Monaco looked the team battling relegation against Lille before Stevan Jovetic saved their blushes at the hour mark. Eibar carried the lion’s share of possession and chances against… Continue reading The All-England Club – Picks From Across The Pond for March 17, 2018
United We Stand- Picks From Across The Pond for March 5, 2018
3/2 Recap: I was on my way to a banner start to this series. Gladbach was up 2-0 on Werder Bremen and Middlesbrough led by the same margin against Leeds United. Only one team completed the task at hand though. Patrick Bamford completed his hat trick for Boro and secured me my first result, even though… Continue reading United We Stand- Picks From Across The Pond for March 5, 2018

EPL Predictions That’ll Surely Go Awry
The English Premier League season is nearly upon us. This weekend is one I’ve been waiting for since the last kick of last season. Sure, the footballing calendar never ends. But with the Premier League being the one that indoctrinated me to European football as a whole, the start of their season is extra special… Continue reading EPL Predictions That’ll Surely Go Awry
