Andy's Monday tips - Man Utd will stroll it
Newcastle have an extremely tough game on their hands. Not only are they playing one of the league's favourites but they're going to a ground where they have struggled to get anything at over the years.
The exciting thing for United fans this season are the options upfront at Sir Alex Ferguson's disposal. Wayne Rooney is obviously still the main man, and this could be the season that Dimitar Berbatov finally shows the Old Trafford faithful what he's all about.
Then there's their brand new signing Bebe, the impressive Javier Hernandez, Federico Macheda and let's not forget about a certain Michael Owen. It's likely to be Rooney plus one from that list of players I've just mentioned on Monday night, and I think that will be the story for most of the season, at least as far as the league goes.
Newcastle have a big task ahead of them this season to stay in this division and a defeat first up is hardly the best way to kick things off, but I'd be absolutely amazed if Newcastle get anything from this match and I'll be betting accordingly.

I believe Chicharito will prove to be by far more dangerous than Wazza, he's far quicker, more level headed, clearly a better eye for goal, doesn't ball hog, a bigger menace to defenders and better at making room for himself or a team mate. Chicharito seemingly has more skill than Wazza and knows how to use it to advantage, he out score Rooney. Expect Javier to be first man on team sheet come the new year and Wazza to be fighting it out with the others.
We want our title back. (August 15, 2010 7:08 PM) said:
Chicharito will bang goals in for fun and I bet he gets 20+ goals as he is world class and an awesome signing by the greatest manager in the game, Sir Alex Ferguson. Wazza will do well again now he's back at the biggest club in the game and our world class superstars, I tip Wazza for 30 goals. Bebe is an attacking midfielder/winger who can play forward but isnt one. Berbatov will finally deliver this season. Giggs, Scholes and Neville will be awesome again. Sir Alex will lead us back to the top.

Everyone saying Man Utd would face a tough game.
Well, I don't know whether it would be a tough game for man united or not. I can't see the future exactly.
What I know is Fergie side outclass newcastle side by very big margin.
I think the best bet for this game should be first half goals over 1.5. With odds of 2.76.
It really a value bets worth considering.

But not as good as andy. I really admire him.
I was a punter back 3 years ago. And then I stop when I learn about the odds and statistics also the financial market.
Then, I learnt about betfair, and bet on world cup matches.
I read andy's advices, and I realised, I was a loser back 3 years ago. Bet on gut feelings not rational thinking.
I want to say, you are great andy!
