The tips are all based on the Premier
League clubs as a little safety strap for us.
Treble
QPR (H)
Arsenal (A) @3.5/1 2 points
Double
Grant Holt to
score ANYTIME @ 2/1 2 points
The Logic?
Bet 1 – The treble
QPR
A treble accumulator in the FA Cup is
always a bit risky but I don’t believe too much in upsets when the quality for
the favourites is there in abundance.
QPR may be struggling and Harry Redknapp
may have other things on his mind than the FA Cup at the moment but the players
he has at his disposal, throughout the squad, is good, far too good for where
they sit in the Premier League.
This is the riskier pick for me based on
the approach of the home side but I’m hoping Harry Redknapp lives up to my
thoughts on him. If he does, I reckon QPR will romp it.
Harry is old school and he’ll respect the
Cup. After all it’s his only major honour in football management and if QPR
make it another stage and get another nice home draw he might start thinking,
‘hey, why not?’.
I do expect QPR to make changes but like I said previously, the quality will still be there and it should be far too much for a visiting MK Dons side.
The Don’s are writing their own history
with every season they play and they’ll fancy upsetting QPR for a big chapter
in their story. I can’t see it though and I fancy QPR to give them a bit of a
hiding too.
If QPR approach this in the right way, which I expect them too under Redknapp, 5-0 is my prediction. Come
on Harry, don’t let me down here.
Now this should be as straight forward as
you like.
I fancy they’ll put up a right good scrap
but Norwich are
steady and Chris Hughton will not tolerate any inconsistencies or cockiness
around his camp for this potential banana skin.
I reckon the home side will live up to
their billing as hot favourites and smash Luton
right out of the cup. 4-1 home win I say.
Arsenal
Arsenal, away at Championship Brighton. Risky
one of the three many will think. Well I don’t.
Arsene Wenger is having a tough time this
year and the FA Cup has probably become about ten times more significant to him
after the League Cup shock at Bradford and
their inconsistent league form.
Their recent thumping of West Ham though
has just reaffirmed that the quality is there and when Arsenal want to turn it
on, fuck me they can.
Arsenal have the players and they’ll be up
against a team that will have a go at them in the right way, by playing
football. Gus Poyet has got Brighton playing
some attractive stuff and they’ll want to impose their game against a very good
footballing side.
I think this will allow more room for
Arsenal and the likes of Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla can murder teams at
will with a bit of room.
I strongly fancy the gunners to turn
Poyet’s men over on the south coast and give them a little footballing lesson at
the same time.
Brighton are a good side and will be
confident after dumping out Newcastle in the last round but Arsenal, on their
day, can be devastating. I expect a strong Arsenal team and a strong
performance. 1-3 is my prediction.
And there it is, your FA Cup treble @3.5/1
Bet 2 – The double
Now this was going to be Manchester United
to win with Wayne Rooney to score anytime but the England striker has some fresh
injury concerns so without knowing the extent of it I’ve had to bin the bet.
I’ll replace it by throwing some more eggs
in the Norwich City basket.
I think Norwich will have a real rough ride in 2013 in terms of the
Premier League and I reckon Chris Hughton will have some concerns over his
side’s current decline in form.
This weekend will bring him a welcomed
distraction. FA Cup fourth round at home to non league Luton Town .
Let the hand rubbing commence. Now Hughton
will respect the challenge and like I’ve stated in bet 1, he’ll rid any
overconfidence in his camp in order to win this one.
It’s a huge opportunity for Norwich to put a good cup
run together and I fancy them to take it handsomely.
Added to that, if there’s anyone that won’t
under estimate an opponent its skipper Grant Holt. He’s worked his way through
the ranks on the football ladder and he’s just the bloke you want for a non
league ding dong.
Back Norwich
to win (@3/10) and double it up with Holt to score ANYTIME (8/11). I like the
sound of this double @2/1.
Good luck, look out for free bet offers and
bet responsibly!
