MCLEISH THE PUNTERS FAVOURITE
There are plenty of soccer betting sites out there that are currently offering great odds for managers getting sacked over the remaining few months of the season.
The Premier league 2012-13 season is coming to an end. Even though there are still a few months to go before the end of the season, it is going to be a busy period for the chairman's of each club because there are plenty of managers, whose future needs to be sorted out before the end of the season.
One of the managers in danger of being sacked before the end of the season is Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish.
BARTON WARNED ON PREDICTING RESULTS
The English football Association has said that QPR midfielder Joey Barton should not be predicting the outcome of football matches on Twitter and various other social networking sites. This move comes as a major development in the fight against illegal football betting.
There have been various cases of illegal soccer betting in recent years, and it seems that social networking is only adding to the fuel.
LEEDS KNOCKED OUT
Leeds United lost out to Arsenal in the FA Cup after Arsenal legend Thierry Henry scored the goal that knocked the Championship team out, in a game that saw Leeds United at odds of over 20/1.
Leeds United were drawn against Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup and it was always going to be a tough encounter.
It was made even tough by the fact that it was a home match for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger confirmed before the match that Thierry Henry has indeed signed for Arsenal on a short-term loan, which will see him stay at the club just for over two months.

READING VERSUS SWANSEA BETTING PREVIEW
Reading are set to take on Swansea city in the playoff final that is thought to be the biggest game of their season. Reading FC can remember what it’s like to be a top flight side, with the Royals having been relegated in 2008 under Steve Coppell, although they have risen from the flames and walloped Cardiff 3-0 in the semi-finals to take a step closer to the big time.
PREVIEW - UNITED VS CRAWLEY
When Crawley Town beat Torquay to become the first non-league club to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup in 17 years, players, fans and owners would have thought it couldn’t get much better, but a glamorous trip to Manchester United was the ultimate prize.
The FA Cup is full of giant-killings and a Crawley Town victory over Manchester United would be one of the biggest in history. The soccer odds reflect this, with an incredible +2800 from Victor Chandler for the win. A draw at +1200 from Ladbrokes is a better bet, but it is difficult to see anything other than a home win.
GET ON IRELAND
For fans of international football there’s a real treat in store tonight as the Carling Nation’s Cup match between Ireland and Wales kicks off at 7.45pm. You can watch the match itself on Sky 1 and follow the action and of course to make things more interesting, the Ireland v Wales football betting is already open.
For the Carling Nation’s Cup, a football tournament between the Celtic countries it makes sense that we look at tonight’s book at Paddy Power online bookmakers.
DOUBLE UP
The first certainty of the weekend is that the 16 FA Cup fourth-round fixtures have to go down as the most uninspiring for many a year.
That's a given with the likes of Torquay matched against Crawley and Sheffield Wednesday drawn out of the hat with Hereford and the only tie that in any way floats neutral boats is the one at Goodison Park between Everton and Chelsea on Saturday dinner time.
PREVIEW - SPURS vs BOLTON
Midweek victors Bolton and Spurs clash at White Hart Lane
Spurs and Bolton meet at White Hart Lane on Saturday with both sides looking to bounce back from a mid season dip in form and push on towards qualification for European football next year. Spurs will be looking to keep pressure on fourth placed Chelsea and can join their London rivals on 44 points with a win, whilst Bolton will be keen to complete the double over Harry Redknapp’s men after winning 4-2 at the Reebok Stadium earlier in the season.
