Playing Out The String - Picks From Across The Pond for April 23, 2018

Playing Out The String – Picks From Across The Pond for April 23, 2018

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

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

Semi-Final Preparation – Picks From Across The Pond for April 15, 2018

4/14 Recap: It seems taking some time off didn’t do anything to help my picks.  Both the teams I backed yesterday fell completely flat.  Spurs were ransacked on their home ground by Manchester City, meaning anything less than a victory for Manchester United today will crown the Citizens champions of England.  Harry Kane was kept… Continue reading Semi-Final Preparation – Picks From Across The Pond for April 15, 2018

Running Out Of Time – Picks From Across The Pond for April 8, 2018

4/7 Recap: Congratulations to Bayern Munich on winning the Bundesliga.  Even though you took care of business against Augsburg, Schalke crapping their pants against Hamburg would have done the trick anyway.  Conceding three to a team with twenty total goals up to that point isn’t a good look.  Speaking of teams not looking good at… Continue reading Running Out Of Time – Picks From Across The Pond for April 8, 2018

Friday Got Me Like – Picks From Across The Pond for April 6, 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… Continue reading Friday Got Me Like – Picks From Across The Pond for April 6, 2018

Monday Afternoon Football – Picks From Across The Pond for April 2, 2018

4/1 Recap: April Fool’s Day doubled as opposite day for me.  The results I needed were flip-flopped in Spain and France.  I stated that I was fearful of Atletico Madrid getting a lead and then shutting it down.  That is exactly what happened after Kevin Gameiro’s penalty before halftime.  There may not be a more… Continue reading Monday Afternoon Football – Picks From Across The Pond for April 2, 2018

A Better Saturday – Picks From Across The Pond for March 31, 2018

3/30 Recap: Good Friday did not live up to the adjective here on Picks From Across The Pond.  Derby County continued their miserable run of form, laying an absolute egg at home against bottom club Sunderland.  They were fairly unlucky with a deflection for the Black Cats’ first goal, but they crossed their own path on… Continue reading A Better Saturday – Picks From Across The Pond for March 31, 2018

The Relegation Struggle Is Real – Picks From Across The Pond for March 16, 2018

3/15 Recap: I’m still in disbelief.  Yesterday I picked two Europa League matches and didn’t lose my shirt.  In fact, I actually came out in the positives for the first time ever picking European competitions.  Red Bull Salzburg and Marseille both advanced.  I hit on all but one of my props.  Other than Athletic Bilbao… Continue reading The Relegation Struggle Is Real – Picks From Across The Pond for March 16, 2018

Saturday Hangover – Picks From Across The Pond for March 10, 2018

3/9 Recap: While I was watching yesterday’s games unfold, I came to a realization.  I harkened back to when I was doing my research and the lights that were clicking in my head.  Gee, that line on Bielefeld/Nurenberg looks really off.  How is Schalke not heavier favorites against a team they seemingly own?  My main… Continue reading Saturday Hangover – Picks From Across The Pond for March 10, 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
