4/17 Recap: The games may have both ended up as draws, but for once I’m OK with that. That is because, for the first time in way too long, both my props hit yesterday. Granted, taking Both Teams Score props in games destined to have goals isn’t going out on a limb. But I’ll take… Continue reading Serie A’s Last Chance Saloon – Picks From Across The Pond for April 18, 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
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
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
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
Non-Champions League Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 14, 2018
3/13 Recap- The second verse, and third in this case, is the same as the first. I can not pick the Champions League to save my life. Shakhtar squandered every chance they had before going down to ten men. Roma’s away goal proved the difference in the end as the Giallorossi advanced on a 2-2… Continue reading Non-Champions League Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 14, 2018
Serie A Showdown – Picks From Across The Pond for March 11, 2018
3/10 Recap: My initial foray into Serie A had many a chance to go perfect, but Chievo Verona fired 70% of their shots off target. Half of those attempts came after Hellas took the lead, making for a very frustrating recap reading. As for my other pick, Barcelona and Malaga defied the bookmakers leaving me… Continue reading Serie A Showdown – Picks From Across The Pond for March 11, 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
Blaise Matuidi Is The Bargain Of The Summer
Transfer spending in Europe is out of control. The fees paid for even the most marginal of players were astronomical this summer. Manchester City broke the defender price scale. Club and world record fees fell with great regularity. But from the ashes of countless Euros, dollars, and pounds being lit on fire, Juventus emerges with… Continue reading Blaise Matuidi Is The Bargain Of The Summer
AC Milan Wants Serie A Back
Italy’s Serie A has been a one team league as of late. Sure, Roma and Napoli have made valiant attempts at securing the Scudetto, but it has been Juventus’ kingdom. They’ve ruled over their territory maniacally, sucking up the division’s best players and laying waste to Italy’s best. However, one storied team has been left… Continue reading AC Milan Wants Serie A Back
