Should Man United and Liverpool battle it out for the title as they did in 2008-9 then these bitter rivals will be striving to be the first team to reach 19 titles.

Last season saw United knock Liverpool off “their f*****g perch” as Sir Alex Ferguson so succinctly put it, to become English football’s most successful club in domestic league football.

Now, United can make it four in a row for the first time ever, while Liverpool can end 20 years without a league championship.

Before the other members of the league’s elite are brought into the picture it must be said that both of last season’s top two have suffered troubled close seasons.

United have lost World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina striker Carlos Tevez. On the face of it, neither have been replaced like for like.

In their place have arrived Antonio Valencia, Gabriel Obertan and, infamously, Michael Owen, none of them big names, apart from the injury plagued Owen.

Either unwilling or unable to spend the £90m banked for Ronaldo, Ferguson claims to have withdrawn from the transfer market in protest at the high prices.

That seems somewhat rich considering the amount he received for just one player.

Rafael Benitez, now Fergusons sworn enemy, has his own worries on transfer business. Having done well to remove Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry from the boardroom and be in control of buying and selling, he has expressed his frustration at their being no funds available.

Glen Johnson arrived for a sizeable sum as did Alberto Aquilani, for £20m of the £30m paid for Xabi Alonso by Real Madrid. Many Liverpool fans would have been happy with snagging Owen for themselves as a back-up for Fernando Torres as once again it seems that the availability and fitness of Gerrard and Torres will be pivotal to Liverpools campaign.

The Mighty reds don’t seem to have the strength in depth when it comes to striking options, unlike Mark Hughes at Manchester City who’s gone mental in the transfer market, buying Adebayor, Tevez and Santa Cruz, all strikers.

In fact the only clubs who’ve gone crazy this summer is Man City and Real Madrid in Spain, the former are backed by billions of pounds worth of Arab oil while Madrid are partly subsidised by the Spanish government.

Before the Arabs arrived in Manchester, Chelsea were the richest club in the world but it seems even Roman Abramhovic has been effected by the global financial crisis and of course Arsenal have been as prudent as ever when it comes to spending.

The new Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti has been able to add just Yuri Zhirkov of note to a highly experienced and still very powerful squad while Arsene Wenger has been flogging off his African stars to Manchester City as youth continues to be favoured at the Emirates, although these youngsters have been developing over the 5 years it’s been since the Gunners last won the league and Wenger is due another surprise success but personally I’m not sure this will come till next season.

Arsene has only added the Belgian centre-back Thomas Vermalen to his squad while many inside the game feel they are crying out for strong central midfielder.

Chelsea may look like old stagers, yet the spending of years gone by leaves them with a tightknit squad who are still hungry for success, especially in the champions league, the Holy Grail for Abrahmovic and something he knows Ancellotti can provide considering his two triumphs with Milan.

It is City who provide the burning question of the pre-season; can their free spending bridge what looked to be the great divide in the Premier League?

A cool £78m says they might just do it. And, despite the failure to tempt John Terry, much of that cash has been spent on capturing players from what look to be their immediate competitors.

Tevez’s arrival at Eastlands has already been used to antagonize United (a giant poster of Tevez which reads, Welcome to Manchester has been placed by the Sky Blues on the outskirts of the city) while Arsenal have received £41m for two African players who may or may not have seen better days while Aston Villa’s Gareth Barry has been prised away.

City also have the advantage of not being involved in any European competition this season and so can focus solely on the league without any distractions.

The same can’t be said for their nearest rivals and Europa league debutants, Everton Spurs and Villa.

Everton may have resisted several City overtures for Joleon Lescott but David Moyes has not been able to add to a squad that last season made the best of threadbare resources. At Tottenham , wheeler-dealer Harry Redknapp may be looking longingly at City’s spending as his own squad looks top-heavy. He posseses a wealth of attacking options yet has an injury-prone backline. That said, his transfer business may not yet be complete.

Aston Villa are the other club that gets mentioned when it comes to breaking the glass ceiling that is the top 4 of the Premier league but personally I can see it remaining the same again.

Martin O’Neil has only added Stewart Downing from relegated Middlesboro but he’s out injured till December and the Villa boss has admitted he needs 5 players to “give them a chance”, a chance of finishing 6th again, I presume. Even Everton, who have finished 5th the last 2 seasons stand almost no chance of barging their way into the champions league qualification promised land. Their limited resources means they’ve
managed to get Brazilian Jo on loan from Man City for another season with no other transfer targets on the horizon. As for Tottenham, well they’re just Tottenham aren’t they?

Enjoy wactching the exciting EPL matches this weekend!

Odds and Predictions

Here are some useful soccer betting tips. The 18 competitions since the inaugural event have produced just 7 different winners. Brazil have been the most successful nation, lifting the Cup 5 times, Italy have won 4 times, Germany 3 times, Argentina and Uruguay twice apiece, with England and France each boasting a single victory. Additionally, only 9 different nations have been losing finalists, Germany 4 times, Argentina, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Hungary and Italy twice each, while France and Sweden have been runners-up on one occasion. With the breakup of Czechoslovakia this leaves a shortlist of 10 sides that have contested a World Cup final. Much has been made of the fact that no European team has won a World Cup hosted outside Europe. However, in the 8 non-European hosted tournaments, European teams have made the last 6 six finals. Furthermore, the June-July tournament will be played in the South African winter, so temperatures will at least be bearable for European players. However, it should be noted that Spain (a best-priced 6/1 to win the 2010 World Cup), Portugal (40/1), Russia (33/1) and Croatia (66/1) have never contested a World Cup final. Euro 2008 champions Spain seem very short considering a best finish of 4th place in 1950, while the others seem likely to qualify only via the playoffs. England have impressed in their qualification campaign to date, but also look short at 9/1. Germany (12/1), Italy (12/1) and Holland (14/1) offer better value than Spain or England.

The main competition seems likely to come from South America which has provided 9 of 18 World Cup winners. 5-times winners Brazil look worthy favourites at 5/1, but Argentina, who have made just 2 quarter-finals in the last 4 tournaments look woefully underpriced at 11/2.

Elsewhere, it is difficult to enthuse about CONCACAF and Oceania, with only the USA (125/1) and Mexico (150/1) likely to make any impact at all. Africa provides 6 teams, Ivory Coast (40/1), Nigeria (80/1), Ghana (80/1), Cameroon (100/1), hosts South Africa (150/1) and Egypt (200/1). It is surely too big an ask to expect South Africa to become the 6th hosts to lift the World Cup, but, as South Korea proved in 2002, experience of conditions and vocal home support may lead to better performances than expected. The Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Egypt, winners of the last two African Cup of Nations, all merit respect.

Asian sides seem up against it, though Japan (300/1) and South Korea (500/1) have reached the knockout phase in recent tournaments and look set to qualify for the 2010 finals. Its useful to look for soccer betting tips online before placing any bets.

The seasoned European campaigners look the best value, with Germany, 3-times winners and 4-times runners-up, the recommended bet at 12/1.

1. Hurry, time is running out… For you who haven’t joined GoTipsters Cash Competition and collected...
2. $50 Plus Prizes With My GoTipsters Cash Competition! After 3 weeks running my new soccer tips website...

Yes, you’re reading it right, you can always become a Winner no matter how bad your winning rate is, what sports you bet on, or what bookmakers you join.

Are you saying, “It’s IMPOSSIBLE!!” ??

Ok, here is the reality…

You may end up with some really bad losing strike one day. Every tipster, even the professional ones have their own terrible day when every single bets they placed are going to the wrong side. However, surprisingly, they still manage to collect some profits at the end of the day.

Here are the 7 secrets that will open your horizon in sports betting:

1. Knowledge is power!

Read the form statistics, past records, head to head, injury lists, team fixtures, psychological situation of the players or even tradition each team has. Analyse every single aspects of a team carefully before placing your bets and keep yourself updated with the latest news. That’s the key to successful betting. Sports Betting Champ has done all of the dirty statistics for you. They have spent untold hours of researches to present all of the required information for you… Now it’s your part to follow them and learn from them!

2. Keep your winning…

Once you hit your winning goal, cash them in! Do not be greedy! Withdraw your winnings before placing anymore bets is always a good idea. Enjoy your hard earned winnings! Don’t keep spending your winning money on subsequent bets just because it’s your luckiest day in your life. That will prevent you from losing some of them (if not ALL) back to the bookmakers.

3. Budgeting…

A good money management is important. Set your daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly budget, which is maximum amount of money you are prepared to lose. Take control of your finances and that will make your loses will not become a big problem because you have budgeted them in advance.

4. Avoid Difficult Bet…

Try to avoid such bets like “Man of the Match”, “First Goal Scorer”, “To Win Premier League”, “Exact Scores”, and some sort of things. You may say that the odds look really tempting, but, it’s almost impossible to grab a long-term winning with this kind of play.

5. Follow the game Closely…

Most of bookmakers offer what we call “In Running” or “Live” bets. That means, you can place bets whilst a match is in progress. Use this feature to make your bet a “risk free” bet.

See this example: You placed a $100 bet at -1/4 for a Chelsea to win over Liverpool. During the game, the odds change drastically and now the odds become -1/4 for Liverpool. This means, something is happening on the pitch which gives Liverpool a greater chance to win. With In-running bets, you can place an opposite bet to back up Liverpool.

With this simple example, you can NOT lose (even though you will also not win big), but the important point is you manage to save your $100 for a better match with higher winning chance.

6. Search for the Hottie!

This may lead a controversy for some of you, since looking for this ‘Hottie’ will make your betting life even more difficult. However, if you carefully follow your favourite sports or betting forum, you must be having an idea someone who currently has a fortune goddess walking around him. Bookie Buster and Sports Betting Champ are the hottest you can find! Their forms are absolutely amazing!

7. Finally… Engage A WINNING SYSTEM

The last one is the most important secret to make money at sports betting, you need a good system. Without a proven betting system, all of above points will become less usable and that means you can not maximise your winning. This is where Bookie Buster is specializing in. Bookie Buster’s system tells you exactly how to ALWAYS WIN in sports betting. Even with disappointing 33% winning rate (which means only 3 wins in 10 bets), you will end up with a huge profits in your bankroll! Something that you WILL NOT find in traditional betting system. Imagine how much you can win if you have a better soccer tipsters who can give you free tips to follow with, or you follow your favourite sports closely enough to consistently pick over 50% winners.

After reading the overall 7 secrets above, hopefully your approach to sports betting should be enormously improved. Combined with powerful knowledge that Sports Betting Champ provides and accurate strategies that Bookie Buster offers, you should NEVER lose any cents in sports betting anymore.

The key to playing responsibly is to manage your money well. Here are some tips on playing responsibly:

• Play within your means.
• Set yourself a limit and stick to it. Stop playing if you exceed that limit.
• Do not borrow money to bet.
• Never spend more to win back losses.
• Treat any loss as part of your entertainment/leisure cost.
• Do not be pressurized or influenced by others to bet.
• Betting should be your own choice.
• Stop playing if you think you are beginning to spend more money and playing more frequently.

Do not be a Casualty of Gambling
Remember, your loved ones would suffer if your playing affects your family lifestyle and finances. You should not let yourself and your loved ones become casualties of gambling.

Guard Against Problem Gambling (Source: Gamblers Anonymous)
Monitor your playing behaviour regularly to see if you are playing excessively. Here’s a quiz to see if you are facing a problem:

• Did you ever lose time from work due to gambling?
• Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
• Did gambling affect your reputation?
• Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
• Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
• Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
• After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
• After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
• Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?
• Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
• Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
• Were you reluctant to use “gambling money” for normal expenditures?
• Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
• Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
• Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
• Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
• Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
• Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to gamble?
• Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
• Have you ever considered self destruction or suicide as a result of your gambling?

Most problem gamblers will answer yes to at least seven of these questions. Seek family support and professional help if you think you are experiencing problem gambling.

When Not to Gamble
When you are emotionally affected, betting may seem like an attractive distraction. However, you are also more susceptible to playing beyond your control. Do not gamble:

• When feeling lonely, depressed or under stress
• When coping with the death or loss of a loved one
• When trying to solve a personal or family problem
• When trying to impress others

Betting should be fun. It should be under your control. Do not let it control you or your life instead.
