Goals, goals, everywhere, but not a sniff for the "Total Goals Guys", who had a nightmare weekend

The bore draw at Stamford Bridge yesterday was a disappointment to more than just us two goal backers. Two of the so called top four played their part in what was a really dull encounter. After Manchester United's home derby defeat on Sunday Carlos Queiroz told BBC Sport that he reckoned the toll of International Football was to blame for his sides defeat. Maybe he is right, and maybe the International matches also contributed to the match in London, packed with stars, throwing up such a poor spectacle. Either way, two goals or more at [1.46] was a bad call; but such occurrences are unavoidable over the course of a whole season and it's important to put it down to experience as everyone in the football world expected more from the two sides.

We refuse to be as philosophical with regards to events at Ibrox however in an attacking duel that took a late Steven Naismith strike to seal a 2-0 home victory. The scoreline fails to illustrate the fact that Falkirk were as much of an attacking threat as any provincial club visiting Ibrox this season and their play probably deserved a goal. Conversely, Rangers could have made things much more comfortable for themselves on the hour mark, but Barry Ferguson managed to graze the post with an unorthodox effort four yards from an open goal. It was a sweaty one for the 2.5 goal layers. Was [1.69] worth the perspiration?

Barcelona drew yet another Primera Division away fixture on Saturday evening, this time at Sevilla. We predicted that both sides would find the net and advised a back of 2 goals or more at [1.31]. While we couldn't have got it more wrong at Stamford Bridge, we were right on the money here as Xavi's strike cancelled out the home side's opener courtesy of Diego Capel.

We questioned whether lightning could strike twice referring to Rangers knocking 7 past Falkirk again. Well it struck twice in Madrid where league leaders Real bounced back emphatically from last weekend's defeat at Almeria with a 7-0 trouncing of Valladolid. It was the second consecutive game at the Santiago Bernabeu where the visitors had conceded 7 goals. The back of 3 or more @ [1.71] was done and dusted as early as the 32nd minute when Arjen Robben scored to put the home side 3 nil to the good.

After two decent weeks the balance has taken another hit and a 20% loss means we now stand at £13.23. The most important thing is that even in a week where lady luck wasn't on our side (and we made a stinking call) we are still in a position to carry on our interest and hopefully make a full recovery.
