Sundays first attempt started off really well, with the draw no bet, Aston Villa had created and missed chances in the first half, leaving me to think the second half would bring more of the same.
Unfortunately Villa didn't come out for the second half with anything like the same confidence, which took a further knock with the substitute appearance of Cesc Fabregas, who stayed on the pitch, rather remarkably, for just 28 minutes, scoring twice and taking every breath of wind out of Villa's already sagging sails.
I'd cooked and served a lovely roast pork joint as the second Premier League game of the day was kicking off, Manchester United v Hull City at the K.C Stadium (Hull).
With United trading at around 1/4, there was little value to be had so I plumped for Wayne Rooney to score at anytime at around 10/11.
The food and wine consumed earlier in the day led to me falling asleep after 15 minutes only to be awoken by the sound of Utd fans cheering Rooney's opener, after a which I slept a little sounder.
Having slept right through the second half I'd missed placing a handicap accumulator on the ealy evening NFL games.
I currently follow two U.S sports gurus for my NFL and NBA picks.

Foolishly and slightly drunkenly, without checking out these two guys picks, I attempted a four team handicap rollup. Needless to say 2 or maybe 3 of the selections let me down, although if I had backed halftime handicaps, I may well have collected.
Bank Holiday Monday held another full set of soccer fixtures to get involved with and after sleeping in to allow the wine and rum to stop swinging my stomach round, arose just in time for Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham Utd.
Spurs were home bankers and their price reflected it so I stuck them in a televised double with Man City, who were away at the Dinglefuckers later that evening.
Not satisfied with that, I stuck a single on Jermaine Defoe to score at anytime.
With the score stuck at 1-0 to Spurs 75 minutes gone, I began to worry that West Ham couldn't be this poor for the full 90 minutes and that Harry Redknapp (spurs manager) may start changing strikers to try and finish the game off.
Five minutes later little Jermaine stuck away Tottenhams second to leave me clear of mind for the 3 o'clock kickoffs.
Not much to brag about with those, backed Blackburn to beat Sunderland which finished 2-2 and a four team acca which included Nottingham Forest, Everton, Rochdale and Swansea. Swansea had a man sent off after 10 minutes and held on for a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace and obviously the other 3 won.
Spent this morning and early afternoon watching England's cricket side gallop through the South African batting order and setup a nice early finish to the second test match, leaving England 1 up with 2 to play. I will say in a previous blog I forecast an England win. Didn't bet it!!
Couple of Premier fixtures tonight Aston Villa at home to Liverpool and Bolton at home to struggling Hull.
Aston Villa's recent home record against Liverpool holds a couple of defeats and quite a few draws.
Having seen Liverpool a few times recently and Aston Villa's good home form and the way they played for 60 minutes against Arsenal at the Emirates and the fact they owe me a few quid.
ASTON VILLA DRAW NO BET v Liverpool (7:45p.m k.o)
In the other game (not televised but extended highlights after the live match) we have what is turning into a relegation battle.
Bolton Wanderers have averaged 4.2 yellow cards in their last 5 home games.
Hull City have averaged 4.6 yellow cards in their last 5 away games.
OVER 3.5 CARDS IN BOLTON WANDERERS V HULL CITY GAME (7:45p.m k.o)
C'MON!!
