Silver Fox So how much have you put on this frimmers?


nothing yet..but i am tempted...i am not a betting man,i was just wondering what sort of odds that scenario would attract from a bookie. i was thinking of staking a hundred pounds.

I can only imagine one of the many betting websites on the internet would help you there, although you might need to request odds on your managerial propositions, I sincerely doubt there's a market for new Tottenham manager as they don't need one just now

Fvck it, I've done some of your homework for you

Tottenham are best priced 7/1 for the title
'Arry is best priced 15/8 for next England manager

That's a 22/1 double, so Mourinho to replace 'arry would have to be pretty spectacular odds (if you can get a price) if you were going to break the bookies. That's aside from Tottenham not winning the league and 'arry being unable to manage England from prison

Best priced 25/1

makes the total a groin-grabbingly good 600/1

however as many suspect I reckon Mourinho will replace Fergie if he ever leaves OT

Had a £10 acca ruined by West Brom yesterday after wins from Blackburn, Sheff Utd, West Ham. Would have returned £270.

Got another acca in the NFL tonight which is still alive after last night's matches. Was on San Francisco +3.5 and New England -13.5. On Houston +7 and Green Bay -7.5 which returns approx £133.
