LOW SCORING GAME FORECAST

Aalim was a winner for the column on Monday. A welcome winner at that !!

Man U and Real Sociedad played out what would have been a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford back on the 23rd October but for an unfortunate early own goal which gave the hosts a 1-0 win.

Man U enjoyed 55% of the possession but with home advantage to Sociedad tonight it could be a lot closer.

In the reverse leg tonight at the Anoeta Stadium in Spain Man U find themselves top of Group A with seven points from three games while Sociedad are still to score a single point and sit at the foot of the table.

Man U are without defenders Jonny Evans and Rafael and in truth it’s a game they don’t necessarily need to win. David Moyes will also have one eye on the crucial Premier League clash on Saturday against leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford.

I can’t see there being a whole bundle of goals in this one and will bet accordingly with Star Sports.

STAR FORECAST
(stake between 0.5 and 10 points)
6 points UNDER 2.5 GOALS at around 10/11

AT LAST, A QUESTION THAT CAN’T BE ANSWERED ON GOOGLE

The mystery surrounding a four-storey structure being built by Google in the heart of the San Francisco Bay is generating rumours and worries.

The company has not said what the structure is, San Francisco’s mayor says he does not know what it is, and government inspectors are sworn to secrecy.

At least one Coast Guard employee has had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the internet giant, US Coast Guard spokesman Barry Bena told Reuters.

Moored in the shadow of the Bay Bridge off Treasure Island, a former military base, the nondescript barge is built with four levels of white shipping containers, and sprouts what appear to be antennas on top.

The hulking structure, half shrouded in scaffolding, has stirred intense speculation in the Bay Area since reports of its existence surfaced late last month.

Some speculate it is a store to sell Google’s internet-connected glasses, while others believe it is a data storage centre.

Some reports have suggested it is meant to be a giant showroom for wealthy clients and VIPs, equipped with amenities such as a bar.
