Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists his side has what it takes to finish in the Champions League places, despite sitting seventh in the Premier League table. Wenger was left to rue missed chances after a frustrating goalless draw at Bolton on Wednesday evening left his side, who are 3/1 with bet365 to finish in the top four, five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. The Gunners, who had lost their last three league games, had a Robin van Persie header cleared off the line in the first half and the striker hit the bar and the post after the break. “There is a long way to go and I am confident we can come back,” said Wenger. “We have confidence but we have to produce it game by game – for us every game in the championship is a cup final for us now.”

Widnes Vikings play their first Super League game on Friday night when they welcome Wakefield Trinity Wildcats to the Stobart Stadium ( Widnes 4/6, draw 18/1, Wakefield 6/5 ). It has been 10 months since the club were awarded a place in Super League 2012 and coach Denis Betts will be hoping his team can get off to a winning start on their controversial artificial pitch. The Vikings ( 11/10 Regular Season To Finish Bottom ) will have a blend of youth and experience in their squad and Betts admits he is glad the first game is in front of their home fans as all the anticipation ahead of Super League has created a “nervous energy” around the club. Betts told the Liverpool Echo there is “real positivity” around Widnes too and he is boosted by a fully-fit squad to choose from ahead of the visit of the Wildcats ( Wakefield 7/2 Regular Season To Finish Bottom ). “We’re pretty lucky at the moment, our whole squad’s ready to play,” said the coach. “When you look around the league there are some teams who’ve already suffered knocks. “The lads here have bashed each other and been very physical but we’re in a really good state.” The new i-pitch artificial surface at the Stobart Stadium is likely to get a lot of attention and Widnes vice-captain Shaun Briscoe recently said he is hoping it will give them “a bit of an advantage” against visiting teams.

Poker, and online poker in particular, is a game that has dozens of terms and slang created for various aspects of it. One such piece of terminology that has done the rounds for a number of years now is push-botting, but what is push-botting. You will be delighted to know that there are no actual robots involved but the person push-botting will act in quite the robotic style. it is a style of play adopted in single table tournaments , and to some degree mulit-table tournaments with a turbo blind structure that sees the player begin to move in or fold when their stack drops below a certain number of big blinds, somewhere around the 10-15 mark. Weaker players will allow their stack to drop to 10-15 big blinds and still come out raising the standard 2-3 times the big blind but then fold to an all-in bet or a three-bet from another opponent. This is a massive leak in their game because more often than not when a player is down to 10-15 big blinds and someone three-bets enough to put them all in they will have the correct odds to call even so they should be calling off their stack. But if they should be calling off their stack then they should be betting it all to start with because this gives them the greatest chance of winning the hand because it could force their opponents to fold hands they would otherwise have three-bet all in with. So in short, push-botting is a style of play usually adopted by SNG player where they fold to a certain number of big blinds before moving all in or folding. An effective is slightly boring way to approach the game= of poker .

Tottenham Hotspur stars Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe are rated as “extremely doubtful” for Monday night’s Premier League game with Liverpool , according to assistant manager Kevin Bond ( Liverpool 11/10, draw 12/5, Spurs 13/5 - Match Betting ). The two both sustained hamstring injuries during the club’s FA Cup win over Watford last Friday and missed the club’s victory over Wigan on Tuesday night. While there are also injury concerns over Rafael van der Vaart’s calf ahead of the clash at Anfield, Kyle Walker ( 10/1 – Score Anytime ) is expected to be ready after a groin issue. However, Bond confirmed before Thursday’s training session at Spurs Lodge that Lennon and Defoe are likely to miss out but the club’s medical staff are “working hard” to improve the situation. “Aaron and Jermain are being treated, both are extremely doubtful for Monday but obviously we’ll give them every chance,” said Bond. “Rafa went off with a calf strain and it’s a bit early to say what his prospects are for Monday. Kyle Walker should be fine.” Meanwhile, Spurs have announced the signing of veteran defender Ryan Nelsen on a short-term deal and he is set to go straight into the squad for the Liverpool clash. The Kiwi had his contract terminated at Blackburn this week by mutual consent. Bond has stated the centre-back is “fit and eligible” for Monday and “looking forward to the challenge” ahead of him at White Hart Lane ( Spurs 14/1 - Premier League Outright ).
