Just because the odds are long doesn't make it viable. Except, of course, the Bet365 special on Rio Ferdinand (with SWP as his comedy sidekick) landing on Mars by 2016 in a spaceship powered by Steve Black's hot air - a real tempter at 250-1.
16-1 doesn't sound that generous to me but maybe I'm a pessimist. There again, I backed us at 20-1 to beat Burnley 3-0 last week and, but for Yun's failing eyesight in the closing stages, I could have won £100.
