La Liga Champions - Athletico Madrid 14/1 Sky Bet

For those who like a longer-term punt .................... I've been very impressed by Athletico Madrid in their pre-season games, particularly their 7-3 drubbing of the old enemy Real (a game in which Diego Costa struck 4 times). Costa seems to be right back to his very best and with Joao Felix and Marco Llorente added to the squad they will not be dependent upon one man to score the goals (as they were in previous seasons with Griezmann). Simeone's side will once again be difficult to break down and won't concede many, and with Real Madrid looking to be going through another phase of self-destruct it could well be their city rivals Athletico who prove the biggest challenge to Barcelona. The Catalans are 4/6 favourites with Sky Bet for good reason but their defensive frailties remain and if Athletico can avoid defeat in their 2 matches against the reigning champs I think they could just nick the title.
Not bad odds those Oddy. They look a very good outfit. Top goalkeeper as well

Keeping up with cricket whilst relaxing on the beach on Poppit Sands, marvellous. The tide is going out to reveal a lovely batting track. I shall be peppering the lad off my long run during the lunch break <cool>

Anderson gone to hospital for a scan on his calf. Bummer. With Stokes bowling like an arse this could be a big problem area for England.

Basic rule of thumb today: if the umpire says it's out, it's in; if in, then out... Another wicket under review...!!
 
If you have a day 5 ticket at the cricket id call in to the booking office and get your money back...!!!!!!

This aint gonna last the distance is it...??
 
Hard to imagine red. Having said that, it would be interesting to see how many tickets they've sold for Monday as I think many people were predicting some early finishes.
