Brady and the Patriots need to put on a show vs the Jets Posted: 14 Jan 2011 06:03 AM PST The New England Patriots and Tom Brady continue to deny that they have any animosity towards the New York Jets, but there can be little doubt that they would love to destroy the Jets in the same manner that they did in the regular season on December 6th, when they won 45-3. Although the defeat resulted in many ramifications, one of the biggest has been the discussion as to whether Tom Brady was guilty of overly taunting the Jets' Cromartie. However, with trash talking a common part of the NFL, this won't be the first time that Brady has been involved with a bit of banter. It may, though, be the first time that he has been left wanting subsequently to go out and show that, if he was pointing at Cromartie, then he was right to do so and that Cromartie's response is just that of a man who wishes he was a better player. However, with the Jets sure to be looking to make a point in order to prove that they are better than their regular season record would lead fans of the NFL to suggest, you can see how it's a heated scenario. Despite this, the Jets know that they will need to find a way to unsettle Tom Brady if they are to stand any chance whatsoever of beating a side that is still at the top of their game despite having had to rebuild in recent years. The American football betting shows just how hard this will be. Despite being overly reliant upon Brady, the top team of the AFC regular still boasts a decent defence, with the Jets only managing to score a field goal against them in their last match-up. Should the Jets want to get to the AFC Championship game, then they will need to show that they have answers to the questions that the Patriots posed them in their last match-up, even if that means examining why exactly fingers were pointed.

West Ham need to show Olympic Stadium is essential Posted: 14 Jan 2011 01:28 AM PST The owners of West Ham United have clearly got the club's long-term interests at heart as they look at moving the club away from Upton Park and into what would be a 60,000 all-seater stadium, but they should perhaps have spent more time looking into how they can strengthen their squad so that it is strong enough to stay in the Premier League, something the football betting tips suggest could be problematic. Spurs are a side looking to take their income up to the next level in order to compete for the Premier League title and they could fill a 60,000 seater stadium, but West Ham seem to be looking to move in the vague hope that they one day are able to fill the stadium. Despite the fact that they may be playing Championship football next season, the club's owners still seem far more interested in stadium plans rather than looking at the significant problems of the here and now that the team and manager Avram Grant currently face. The football predictions suggest they are in real trouble. The Hammers know that the effect of being relegated is primarily financial, but they will also surely realise that another effect would be far lower crowd levels, an occurrence that would be embarrassing as well as expensive if they were playing at a near empty stadium. Should they be relegated because they spent more time wondering about future troubles, then the fans that are currently disgruntled with the club may start venting their anger at the direction the club is going in, in a far more forcible way.
