Just a quick one today as the only game of the evening is the match up at Burton, which, at time of writing, looks highly doubtful due to fresh snowfall.
Everton v Liverpool went very much as predicted, dull, dour and lacking in any kind of attacking imagination. Anyone who backed the draw or Everton with a handicap headstart as reccommended will have done just fine. Well done to ITV too who managed to heap yet more disdain and ineptitude on themselves and their live sport coverage.
Nottm Forest v Derby started off terribly for anyone who followed the advice to back the away side. Forest took a 2-0 early lead which they thankfully squandered, before Derby completed an amazing comeback to win 3-2. It was a tentative selection but the value was certainly there.
Blackburn v Sunderland looked like the banker to me yesterday but the Ewood Park side just couldn't get the job done in normal time. For all their chances and posession, it required a late Extra Time winner from Benni McCarthy to seal their progress. Frustrating for the punter who took some of the home win in 90 minutes, but, this is often the risk with betting on cup replays.
I hope some of you managed to capitalise on two good results at decent prices.
Tomorrow: A double domestic preview on this Saturday's Premiership and Football League action.
