AFTER a quiet few days the football card sparks to life with a Boxing Day extravaganza.
It's the start of a hectic period, especially for clubs in England, and over the festive spell the advice is to bet carefully as teams are hit with game after game.
Saturday shouldn't be too bad as it's the first games and here is my SS shortlist from my first look at the coupon. I haven't checked team news but will do so tomorrow before the top tips are posted.
Let's hear your thoughts on these or any sides that are on your radar.
Super Single Shortlist
Bournemouth v C PALACE
Liverpool v LEICESTER
STOKE v Man Utd (12.45pm)
Southampton v ARSENAL (7.45pm)
Blackburn v MIDDLESBROUGH
BLACKPOOL v Oldham
Wimbledon v BRISTOL ROVERS
York v NORTHAMPTON
Dundee Utd v MOTHERWELL
ST MIRREN v Livingston
Airdrie v PETERHEAD
STIRLING v East Fife
The treble I’ve placed for boxing day are all on your shortlist, hard to pick the best bet of of the three but the treble pays a little under 12/1 at skybet
Arsenal, Northampton & Motherwell
Ive gone for reading,burnley,walsall&kortrijk at 127/1 for my long long shot lol
I’m on Liverpool,
Got a feeling Leicester s bubble will burst on Boxing Day, been playing really good stuff, but liverpool will play better against a team that attach, not sit 10 men behind the ball, plus anfield will be bouncing, really good atmosphere over Christmas,
25179866, not sure where the confidence in Liverpool – also now without Skrtel.
Don’t think they’ve had one good Anfield display under Klopp.
Mr Fixit,, With you if Leicester can go to Everton and take 3 off them don’t see too many probs here.Liverpool have been rotten since that League Cup win at Soton !
I agree with 25179866 on this one, I think Liverpool will be well up for it at Anfield!
BTTS on the following
Treble 1
Colchester United Southend United
York City Northampton Town
Swindon Town Gillingham
Treble 2
Accrington Stanley Carlisle United
Barnet Newport County
Bromley Eastleigh
I agree with list and for what its worth i will add swindon and spurs and derby . Good luck to everyone and have a great christmas. Will post my bets later if i get tome.
archie, I also like Swindon, Spurs and Derby but the last two are too short to qualify for a Super Single.
thinking derby and spurs as ss , just over evens.
Mr F how do you factor in which teams are likely to have eaten too many pies on Christmas day?
Also known as the Tomas Brolin factor
Blackpool V Oldham best draw on the card

What do u guys think about these options ? )
Leicester to win at 3/1 is a steal, also on btts/win at 5/1 in a few longshots along with Mahrez anytime
Alves defo but not sure Liverpool will even score ! Am doubling them with Stoke and its a Nap double for me.
Like the look of Brentford to win an btts on saturday.
Bury vs Barnsley also looks nailed on for goals. Over 2.5 is a decent 4/5 with 365.
Think im going to double with the brentford game.
Mau win
liverpool btts
bournemouth btts
everton win
man c win&btts
arsenal win
65/1
Man u win that is meant to be
silly bonkers bet all 1st gs
giroud
kane
ageuro
mahrez
armautovic
50p gets you £2,618 like I said bonkers bet.
spurs
Swindon
arsenal
boro
derby
26/1 .
Bonkers bet for me…
Man City v SUNDERLAND
Tottenham v NORWICH
Sevilla v ESPANYOL
£10 away treble returns £12,000.
Anything can happen in this season’s league. Norwich won at Old Trafford last week, Sunderland have sprung the occasional big result away at the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal before. You never know!
Lol very funny
Arsenal
Northampton
Carlisle
Watford
Leicester
Everton
Over 1.5 team goals 6fold
197/1 bet365
Definitely worth a punt (perm any 5)
Good luck
Have to back it now I’ve posted….

Boxing day madness:
Gone for horses this year but having £4.95 on 33p 4 way accumulators from following 6 games
CHELSEA vs watford win BTTS
BRENTFORD vs brighton win BTTS
liverpool vs LEICESTER win BTTS
blackburn vs MIDDLESBROUGH win BTTS
colchester vs SOUTHEND win BTTS
bournmouth vs CRYSTAL PALACE win BTTS
33p on each line pays around £2600
fancy the horses a lot more this year but nice to leave a finger in the pie so to speak all the best guys.
Blackpool have won their last 3 without conceding, beating Fleetwood, Wigan, & Peterborough. PP go 17/10 for them at home to Oldham who have 1 draw and 3 defeats in their last 4. That looks a good price. Motherwell at 2/1 looks a great bet, and Nap of the day is Southend at Colchester. Last 5 games the Shrimpers are 3-2-0 whilst Colchester are 0-0-5. Take the 7/5 on offer. Thats my Boxing Day Trixie.
Leicester way way too big to ignore, I’m looking at the 3/1 coral are offering and thinking what do they know that we don’t? Liverpool ordinary at best, Leicester on fire, scoring for fun. definitely having some of that, and Leicester win/over 2.5 too.
other night fancies
Swindon
Middlesborough
Ipswich
Northampton
arsenal
fiver sixfold pays £1115.
goals again in league two, been very close to both overs and btts in all games last two times out, will be doing a quid on both bets tomor and Monday
good luck and happy Christmas!
Wolves fan here so here goes my thoughts on my team.
Why were favourites I will never know. Both wolves and reading are in indifferent form but reading did get a win last game against Blackburn.
Not sure I’d back either to win but may have a little bet on the following
Reading to come from behind and win is a ridiculous 16/1 on skybet. Wolves have lost leads in the last 3 games and in the last 2 have lost after leading. It’s worth a small stake in my opinion.
I think BTTS is a fairly likely one so for tomorrow it will be my NB
richb20806, I don’t fancy Wolves either but it’s one I’ve decided to leave alone.
I’d agree with you to be fair. I’ll be having a good crack at BTTS as it’s likely and I’ll go for reading to come from behind to win as the odds are excellent for low stakes.
