Football - 14th April

More silly season prices, just hope we don't draw another blank!

Reading 5pts beat Fulham at 10/11

Sheff Utd 5pts beat West Ham at 6/4

Birmingham 5pts beat Southampton at 11/10

Coventry 5pts beat Preston at 7/4

C Palace 5pts beat Wolves at 8/5

Ipswich 5pts beat Derby at 9/4

Millwall 5pts beat Tranmere at 11/10

Grimsby (away) 5pts beat Accrington at 5/2

Barnet 5pts beat Bristol Rovers at 7/4 (6/4 OK)

Sunday: Chester 5pts beat Shrewsbury at 2/1 (7/4 OK).


Someone asked me how I felt about Chris Coleman leaving Fulham.

Here's the best players over the last few years in a Fulham shirt.
Edwin Van De Saar
Steve Finnan
Sean Davis
Steed Malbranque
Luis Boa Morte
Louis Saha

If you sell all your best players, what on earth can you expect?

Coleman was only brought in (and a lovely gamble it was - 66/1) because Mo hadn't the money to put a 'name' in place. I think he's done a great job to keep Fulham competitive with a team of declining quality. In fact he's done way better than I expected. He's very well thought of at Crystal Palace and I could see him going there soon enough, or maybe Wales will come calling. Whatever, he should get another chance.






Bournemouth 5pts beat Swansea at 9/5

    You missed John Collins Mr Toots.

    And I quote.

    'Best left foot passing seen at the Cottage since Johnny Haynes'.

    Who was it that said that?

  2. ha - yes good call.

    Not much of a re-sale value though!

  3. That late Ipswich winner may have buried my league accumulators but turned this from a poor day into an acceptable one!
