Welcome to the ninth edition of the weekly gambling feature ‘The Eagles Punt’.
This week we begin with the usual introductions and an update from last week.
Introductions
- @cpfcpatriot – The Eagles Beak tipster
- @Andy_Bloss – Andy, now of @FYPFanzine, formerly of the local Guardian
- @HLTCO – Dan, the man behind the HLTCO blog
- @RedNBlueArmy1 – Terence, who runs the RedNBlueArmy fan site
- @EagleGolfTips – Tony, who gives excellent golf tips on his Twitter page

The Winning Bets
Dan picks up a winner with his “Chelsea to win and Over 2.5 goals” bet thanks to Frazier Campbell’s late goal giving him £22 (and an overall weekly profit of £2! Woohoo!)
Everyone (bar me) picks up a tenner from non-runners!
Dan still leads the group by a distance of £131.50 with Chris still stuck at the bottom of the pile.
Preview
This week, I hope that Palace can get back to their old away style of counter attacking with whichever of the 3 wingers they choose to use, hopefully with Chamakh in there to allow us to hold up the ball more to stop attack after attack coming at what is a makeshift defence. If WBA are allowed to attack at will like they were last season, then Berahino will take one of his chances. West Brom are one of our few rivals for the 3rd relegation place, this is not quite a “must not lose” game, but it is a game that we should really hope not to be losing, and a game we should hope to nick at least a point from it, or a smash and grab win like Aston Villa away last season.
