No game for us but a lot of football interest in general. Need something to follow so I've just had some quick punts. West Ham had an early KO shock win over Chelsea putting the Swans deeper in the **** so I've stuck 8 quid @ 11/4 on Robson-Kanu to get a goal today. Also 8 quid @ 9/4 on Chris Coleman taking at least a point at Wolves. Finally another 8 quid @ 4/1 on a treble of Barnsley/Hull/Burton to get at least a point each from their games today. That's 24 quid so I'll sit back now with a very large Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold and watch the money roll in....
Bournmouth up against palace. If WBA win the gap starts looking huge for the swans. Interesting comments from Nathan Blake yesterday who seems to think wolves will blow up in the next month or so. Nice to think that whatever happens we'll be 2nd at the end of the day having not played. Watching a bit of rugby this afternoon as it's been snowing on and off all day so not venturing out. My daughter is sorting her animals so I can be a fair weather farmer. The cows are in the shed, horses in the stables and the sheep won' t be coming in until February. Ground too wet for any tractor work so TV it is. At this time of year I'm often glad I earn my crust sat in an office.
Good for you remote. BTW, I watched that Drexler bloke playing yesterday for Holsten Kiel against Eintracht Braunshweig streamed live in the Bundes 2. The game finished goaless and I wasn't impressed - we've got as good if not better if we can keep them all fit.
Palace 2-1 up. Swans desperately need a win. Don't see how we improve on our strikers without paying a big fee. Said before, a left back and cover on the left wing and I'd be happy. A tricky little centre mid would be a bonus. 3 or 4 off the wage bill needed as well.
Got my money back (+2 quid) thanks to Chris Coleman's fantastic effort and taking 2 points off "beautiful football" Wolves. I bet Santo is having a bloody fit.......
