2010/11 season preview.

The wait is over...

Premier League. No really stand out bets in the outrights tbh. I think United are about right as are Chelsea. City and Liverpool are far too short, and as for Spurs, lol. Hang on a minute, that has to mean one team must be underpriced. So despite many misgivings, I advise a token 1 point bet on Arsenal at 10-1 with Corals or Hills. Fingers crossed that Ramsey and Wilshere run the midfield following the inevitable departure of Fab.

Other bets: Robin Van Persie to be top scorer. If he stays fit, he wins, if he misses a few games, he probably wins, if he misses several games, he goes close. 3 points to win at 9/1 generally.

Arsenal to finish top 4, 5 points win at 4/5 with VC, I see this more of a 1/3 shot, as it's effectively a match bet to finish ahead of Liverpool.

Championship. 2 points ew on Middlesborough at 18-1 (Hills). Completely friendless in the betting, finished like a train last season and under Mowbray they have to be there or thereabouts. I also advise a 1 point saver on West Ham at 5/1 with Hills as they won't be far away. I can't have Leicester at all and they are ludicrously short, everyone expects all of their new players to gell straight away, I can't see it happening.

League 1. 2 points ew on Sheffield United at 10-1 (Hills). Slightly unfortunate to go down, they retain a decent number of the side from last year, and Danny Wilson is experienced enough to know what is required to get back at the first attempt.

League 2. 5 points ew on Plymouth Argyle at 28/1 (Hills). I make this as one of the best bets I've ever seen. They only went down due to the points deduction and have kept a decent number of the side, as well as some talented youngsters and have made a few notable signings. The other big plus is Peter Reid, who undoubtedly could have got a job at a much higher ranked club, the fact he chose to stay despite the finnacial chaos speaks volumes. A narrow 1-0 defeat to a first choice QPR side was a very encouraging display in pre season, and to be perfectly honest, the odds are ludicrous. Pile in now!

And just for good measure we will try a 1 point win acca on all 4 at 66,670-1 (Hills). Just £15 could make you a millionaire in 9 months. That has to be worth a go, doesn't it? :D

I have also been told by a shrewd source that Cambridge United will have a good season in the Blue Square Premier. 33/1 if you want an ew tickle. (Nothing to do with me if it goes pear shaped, if it does well, I told you so :P)

Opinions welcome. (Still waiting for the Evo Stik South Division One Central to be priced up :D) Hopefully that will happen soon...if not we will have to make do with the match odds.
