Talent never goes unnoticed. Sure, we’ve chuckled along to Jack Bauer‘s MLS playoff preview and Walter Mercado‘s take on the Premiership, but behind the fantasy lied a cold reality: both made pretty good guesses. Granted, gambling a mortgage on a taurot card is not recommended. But, in addition to the stock “copyright lawsuit threat letters” which fill my inbox, I recently received an interesting offer: an invitation from a football gambling website.
I cannot tell a lie – I see no problem with putting a fiver on a match or two. Basically, BetUS has asked for an ever so small slice of the limelight, I need to cover server fees, and, more importantly, Michel Foucault. Michel Foucault? Yes, Michel Foucault, the renowned French philosopher. What does Michel Foucault think of this development and the upcoming English football fixtures? Let’s find out…
Arsenal is mired in a tailspin after losing at Sunderland and at home to the diabolical, aging, but not decrepit Blues man group. The 4-3-3 without Robin Van Persie lacks a forward capable of creating his own shot, yet Stoke should offer more than a sacrificial lamb. Michel predicts that the current madness at the Emirates will calm down and the Gunners will produce a civilized and convincing victory over Stoke.
Manchester United faces West Ham at Upton Park and in unfavorable 
circumstances. After a poor start, West Ham is hitting its stride and, with only Wayne Rooney showing signs of offensive life, this could be an upset pick. Foucault believes that the United backline’s lack of discipline this season may be punished, although you may want to check the latest betting football odds at BetUS before placing a fiver.
The next marquee match up is a classic battle of new rich vs. newer rich. Chelsea may have been knocked out of a cup competition midweek, but their victory at the Emirates solidified their status as topdawg. While City has a talented roster chocked full of individual talent, Mark Hughes has failed to form a winning combination. Michel is torn when trying to place an order on the things favorable in this game. On the one hand, if Hughes packs the midfield with De Jong, Ireland, and Barry, City may continue their lovely draw streak. On the other hand, with Robinho’s return to fitness, Hughes may take an offensive gamble. One on which Chelsea would capitalize.
Lastly, Liverpool visits Blackburn whom is boosted by the return to fitness of Sam Allardyce. With neither Gerrard nor Torres at 100% fitness and a negative home side, do not expect the goals to rain from the sky. Unless the Rovers can knick a goal off a set piece, expect a dull affair with the highlight being a Dirk Kuyt half-spin and volley which does not end wit him connecting with the ball.
Foucault would disregard a priori concepts of human nature and focus how Rafa’s discourse of “my players suck and underachieve and its not my fault” constitutes the current subjective reality of the Scousers’ mediocre season. And he would put a fiver on a 0-0 draw. He would reflect on BetUS when considering bet football picks online
