ystday, reminded me of something taught years ago:
"Those whom have been unsuccessful, focus on the losses. and quite often.... its OTHER peoples. Those whom have found a modicum of success (at whatever level, for whatever amount)...... understand that losing is a part of the equation."
Coppa Italia: Olimpico Stadium,Rome
(taking off tinted glasses)
Juve/Milan - with Scudetto in our pockets, Allegri going with a full strength lineup to get the 'double' (from whom is available to play), which includes Gigi, whom will be making his first start in the final since god knows when. Gattuso treating this as their "game of the year". Though we have thumped them in the H2H's winning 10 of the past 11 during domestic season, the Coppa is a different animal & every meeting this decade has been decided by a single goal (Juve with the slight advantage 2W-3D-1L).
We make two trips down to our little House of Horrors this week, between Coppa & Roma (lazio doesnt really count. lol) my guys have 2W-6L-4D @Olimpico of late. and as mentioned a few weeks ago, without Giorgio out there our defense will be un-Juve like, and like clockwork, we've now conceded in 4 straight. on the other end, Milan has had no answer for Dybala whom has scored in 3 of the last 4 H2H's. Cuadrado inserted as an attacking midfielder & Pjanic back; so that gives a good idea of where our 'priorities/approach' lies.
I hope we blow them away, but get the feeling this is gonna be a lot closer than people expect.
Juve/Milan BTTS @+106
EPL: (disclaimer: im now 3-18 with all wagers involving Arsenal this year)
Leicester/Arsenal - Leicester thinking about warm weather, Arsenal coming off a big win for Wenger. Was planning to stay away with a 10-foot pole for this one but.......since Foxes re-joined the EPL in 14/15 theyve never beaten Arsenal (0-2D-5L). as matter of fact, if you even want to go waaay back, Leicester is on a 22 match winless streak in their H2H's; and theyre in terrible form playing out the string. Arse brutal on the road in EPL this year, so sort of banking on the chances they will want to continue giving Wenger a good send-off vs an opponent whom theyve had success against.
Arsenal to win @-115
Copa Sud:
Botafogo + over 2.5 @+110 - Brazilians won first leg 2-1 on road. coach apparently putting out his regular lineup; Chilean team is in a mess with a bunch of off-field problems as well. dont like the juice on the outright so tossed in the 'over' as well for a decent price.
Temuco(Chi)/Merida(Ven) - 1st leg 1-1. taking a chance with this one as love the prices. backing a Venezuelan club on the road historically hasnt been a good idea but Merida is playing well domestically, unbeaten in 6 in a country whom overall is still weak have improved a lot the past few years. But this is basically a play against the Chileans. though I rate Chile higher than Venezuela, Temuco is dead last scoring just 9 times in 12 matches, and playing poorly having won just once in their 13 games this calendar year. on top of that one of their players left the club this week and a midfielder suspended.
Merida +1/2 @+125
Temuco/Merida over 2.5 @+110 - a goal by visitors - which they need to try to do anyways - and one of these hits.
GL to all

i dont like it when Giorgio isnt around. in my eyes, and a few of my friends here, he is the one irreplaceable player on our roster. not the fastest, not the most skilled but thats a gaping hole right smack in the middle backbone of our formation.
