THE big winners on the final day of the Premier League were Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs and Aston Villa as a day that promised much drama never really materialised.
As expected, Chelsea and United secured the remaining Champions League places which left the door open for Spurs to nick in front of Wolves for a place in the Europa League.
Villa went in to the final round of fixtures in pole position to retain their Premier League place and a 1-1 draw at West Ham was enough to cement that position.
And so all that remains to be decided in England is where the FA Cup is destined and which of the four teams vying for promotion to from the Championship will make their return to the top flight. Swansea boosted their chances with a 1-0 win over Brentford in the first leg of their Play-Off and on Monday it's their rivals Cardiff City who will be in the spotlight as they host Fulham in the other tie.
Eight points separated the two sides in the final standings but as Swansea proved, anything can happen in these matches and often it's the team hitting form at the right time that prevails. The bookies make the Bluebirds slight favourites at 17/10 to win with Fulham at 7/4.

Thommo’s Tips
Thommo's NAP won again on Sunday at 9/2. He called it right with Danny Tudhope at the helm and a favourable draw for Frimament who won by short head at Ascot.
His star bet on Monday is a 9/2 chance at Windsor's evening meeting.
Keep an eye out for MrFixit's Tips in the comments section as he continues his recovery. Best of luck for your bets on Monday!

Being a bit of I night owl, I’ve only missed a handful of the 52 MLS Is Back Tournament games. I know, how sad…
Anyway, down to the round of 16 now, and I’m having a wee punt on the Toronto v New York City FC game, that kicks off at 1.30am UK time.
Toronto won their group, but only recorded one win and two draws, scoring 6 and conceding 5 over all 3 games.
NYCFC qualified and third best placed from their group, winning just the one game, whilst losing the other two. They only managed to score 2 goals in three games, and conceded 4.
Personally, Toronto are the better team from what I’ve seen, and with Jozy Altidore due to return from injury, I expect them to win.
I can’t see there being a lot of goals, so rather than just take what I find to be generous odds of 11/8, I’m doubling it up with bet365’s Bet Builder for under 4 goals, a nice 12/5….
Let’s just put this one in the absolute keech cupboard!
Don’t know where NYC were hiding in the group stages, but they never played anywhere near this level.
The early 5th minute goal seemed to catch Toronto cold, and they never recovered from there.
Final score 3-1 to NYC 😡

Central Coast Mariners v Western Sydney Wanderers (A-League)
Tonight sees the Mariners host the Wanderers. Both sides have been under performing all season, although Mariners are far and away the worst side in the competition this year. Since the season’s return, Mariners have played 2 games already in the last 6 days, so I would expect some rotation tonight, as there’ll be tired legs in this squad, as playing 3 times in a week is unheard of here.
Wanderers haven’t played a game yet since the season’s return, so it will be interesting to see how they go. In the break, they’ve lost their number one goalie Lopar, as well as coach Babbel, and Janjetovic is unavailable through injury. However the majority of their side remains intact, with de Marigny as their new coach. Wanderers are still in the hunt for a top 6 finals position, as they are 5 points adrift of Adelaide, but have two games in hand.
All the motivation tonight is with the Wanderers, and they are a much higher quality side than the Mariners. I think we’ll see that here. My only niggling concern is their lack of games since the season stopped. I think a Wanderers win is the most likely outcome, but I also don’t think they’ll have it all their own way, with some Mariners players likely being blooded here and looking to prove themselves.
Tips:
Over 2.5 goals & btts @ evens (NAP)
Bet Builder: Over 1 card (Mariners); Over 0 cards (Wanderers); Over 7 corners; 2nd half highest scoring @ 4.33
Just letting punters know for the Aussie central coast game it has been chucking it down for 2 days straight and still is.
1 corner each team each half and 1+ booking each team @ evens. Add a goal apiece for 5/2 (Skybet)
No joy on the wdw yesterday,Man Utd awarded yet another dubious penalty and then a red card for Leicester to put tin lid on it😂😂over 3.5 landed in the Everton game,nice to see my team sign off with some cracking goals.

No joy for me tonight. Btts landed, but no extra goal for the NAP, and everything went the way of the bet builder, except almost all the cards were for Wanderers, and only the 1 for the Mariners. Close but no cigar on both. Sorry guys!

Just looking at the early prices for Aberdeen v Rangers the Dons are as big as 13/2 to win . Am I the only one who thinks these odds are massive ?
lol hudson…………..
ooops donno how that happened……….
pit the can doon sasa……………
No I think it’s big too especially if Rangers are without Defoe and Morelos.
Having no fans won’t suit Aberdeen and that will give Rangers ab advantage.

Hassania Agadir v Raja Beni Mellal
Raja Beni Mellal to score 6-4 (skybet) NAP.
Agadir seen Btts in last 7 league games.
Agadir conceded in last 17 league games.
Agadir conceded in last 8 home league games.
Reverse fixture finished 1-3.
This is based purely on agadirs habit of conceding because
Raja Beni Mellal are rubbish and not scored in 7 aways.
Hoping the enforced break has helped them find the way to the onion bag away from their home comforts.
Due to the uncertain nature of teams performance after such a long break this is a half stake bet.
The 6-4 will be compensation if they score .
Heading to Iceland tonight
