Fulham had 34% of the possession in their recent match against Liverpool. The old couple who used to sit next to me in the Stevenage Road stand would have had something to say about that. They used to have a blanket over their laps and at half-time they'd get out all manner of yummy food, presumably having decided in forty years of watching rubbish that they may as well be comfortable and replete! But they liked the occasional forays Fulham made into attractive football.
They were the first to point out that Jean Tigana had plainly commanded that Maik Taylor (then our keeper) was absolutely forbidden to kick the ball out of his hands. He had to pass it to a defender, and build-up from there. This was done solely to teach the team (Championship) to pass the ball under pressure. The pressure actually built up through the season as all the teams realised this and started to move up on our defence. Watch Steve Finnan now and you'll see how much that one season helped him.
I priced Man Utd at 1/8 tonight, anyway.
Here's a bet. Strictly Come Dancing. Will there be a perfect score this series? Personally I think the answer is, of course there will. Not only are there two blokes who have already come close, but in Aleysha there's almost certainly the best dancer there's been on the show. That, and the fact it's almost obligatory makes 2/5 with skybet look huge. Good luck getting more than tuppence on though, otherwise I'd have put it in the challenge.
For that we need to go to Fakenham of all places. Kassuta only has to repeat her performance here in a lower grade race to place again. The fact her trainer runs all his horses here, and that the jockey hasn't won should hold the price up.
£500 Challenge
12:50 Fakenham
Kassuta £15 place at Evens+ (aiming for 5/4+)
