Andy Hillman

Winners so far:

NAP - Norwich vs QPR - Both teams to score @ 4/6, 24/8/12

LONGSHOT - Tottenham vs West Brom - Lay Tottenham @ 2/1, 24/8/12

NOTEBOOK - Stoke vs Arsenal, Liverpool vs Man City, draw double, 7/1, 24/07/12

QPR related Bet - Zamora to score anytime v Man City at 11/2, 30/08/12

Longshot - Tottenham vs Norwich - lay Spurs @ 1.4, 30/08/12

Notebook - Roma to beat Inter @ 3/1 30/08/12

Nap – Man Utd to win to nil v Wigan, 11/10, 13/09/12

Longshot – double as part of a Premiership Yankee at 10/1, 13/09/12

A shorter column than usual due to operation ‘work-every-day-in-September’ currently in full flow, but the good times continue to roll in the Hillman Household, with my NAP of Man U to win to nil coming in, and I even got the score right in my throwaway 4-0 remark. Also landed a 10/1 double in my draw-Yankee, which would have seen you more than even over the other legs of the Yankee.

NAP- Chelsea vs Stoke - Chelsea to win to nil @ 11/8

I steadfastly refuse to offer a 2/5 shot (straight Chelsea win) as my NAP of the week - who, apart from the very large betters are going to back Chelsea at those odds? Chelsea at home to win to nil at better than evens though, that’s a much better proposition, and they should see off Stoke with little difficulty.

QPR related bet - Lay the Spurs win @ 2/1

I’m not sure whether we will get our first league win of the season against Spurs on Sunday, but I’m confident we’ll pick up at least a point. Hopefully the Europa game against Lazio will tire Spurs out a little, but I’ve seen enough from our recent performances to see that we’re going in the right direction.

Longshot - Premiership Away win treble @ 27/1 and double @ 9/1 Last week I looked down the list and saw plenty of draws, this week I look down the list and I see plenty of away wins. Away wins for Villa, Fulham and Man U against Saints, Wigan and Liverpool respectively, pays 9/1 for any double, and around 27/1 for the treble.

What to read next:

Swans confirm who is staying and congratulations Abdulai !
As we stated this morning Swansea City have released their retained list and also confirmed the signing of Joe Allen for another year. The midfielder has been sitting on an offer for some weeks but indicated via a third party to us he would sign.

Swans retained list and Owain Tudur Jones on Paul Watson
We understand that the Swans retained list will be announced today or at the latest on Saturday. And of course that includes players that will be released by the club from the academy and first team squad. So, the Swans plans and immediate future regards players coming in will become much clearer. Or at least the areas they need to target.

Swansea City : Where are the Swans today on all their player business ?
Bar the Macaulay Langstaff news there has been little of any concrete info in the offing this week. Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.

Swansea City : Top striker target in the Swans sights, the full lowdown
There’s a lot more to Notts County’s prolific goalscorer than meets the eye. Not least his excellent injury record and the fact at twenty seven he is now in his prime as a professional footballer.

Swansea City : Nathan Wood knows he is available for transfer
Swansea City centre back Nathan Wood is aware that the Swans will listen to offers for his transfer away from the club this summer. His contract was extended recently with the Swans triggering a one year option on the player.

Joe Allen to stay at Swansea as retained list is imminent. Ogbeta to leave ?
It seems Joe Allen’s immediate future will continue to be at Swansea City as an agreement in principle has been reached between the two parties.

Swansea City : The real value will be the players who stay at the club
With the Swans retained list about to be named, generally around the 18th of the month, we take a look at those who stay, and their value to the club. The players who have the determination to turn next season in to more than a passing parade and a dismal home loss record.

Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season
It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.

Swansea City 0 - 1 Millwall - Player Ratings and Reports
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report.

Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways
An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
