OK Sausageman - remember, you asked for it!!!...........<laugh>

Because Monk went to Leeds in the summer after being sacked by the Swans, for a laugh I stuck just 2 quid pre-season on a double of him to take Leeds up and pass the Swans coming down the other way. At the time it was 12/1 for Leeds to go up and 4/1 for the Swans to go down giving me £130 return.

At the start, the Swans were under Guidolin and were very average but Leeds were worse crap and it looked like Monk was going to get the elbow from Cellini and the bet disappeared from the screen - and then they beat us at the CCS. <doh>

Then Leeds went on a run, the Swans ditched Guidolin and brought in that Yank as manager and bombed - the cash out option started to rise.......heaven! <laugh>

Then the Yank was elbowed, Clements brought in and it looked good down there for them for a while (not so much at the moment) whilst the autos were out for Leeds and it looks they'll have to do it through the playoffs.

The cash out figure fluxuates with every result and at the moment that 2 quid stands at £13.62. I'm not taking the option because for just 2 quid it's a great sideline entertainment through the season.

Mind you if it ever gets to something like 50 quid I'll have to have strong nerves........<laugh>
 
After Leeds draw yesterday, cash out down to £11.82.

Let's see what happens after the Swans result at Watford this afternoon.
 
Sparky. Cash the bet in. Its just not worth wanting Leeds to win the play offs.

I think id rather lose the money and watch them get beaten and see Tin Tins face of defeat.

Just can't do it Hilts.

The anguish of seeing Leeds going up is outweighed by the thought of the Jacks coming down...........<laugh>

I think the Jacks will survive. Their problem is their fans are waving the white flag. But with Sig and Llorente they have 2 quality players who should make a big difference and keep them up. Their support should look at the backing Palace are giving their team.

Next season could be a complete nightmare for them minus those 2. Could be looking at a Derby type points total.

Not so sure about that. The Clements bubble seems to have burst recently, or at least sprung a leak.

Two good players can make all the difference at Championship level and below, but in the Prem they'd have to be world class to carry an average team.

As good as Sig and Llorente are, they are going to have a hard time unless some of the others step up to the mark.

It looks like a straight choice between Hull or them to go down with the two below them. Both are away today and whoever comes away with the most points (if any) will take more than just the points in terms of a boost.
 
Aye, but will the Swans actually lose to Stoke, and will Leeds ever get back to the playoffs? - that's what makes it so interesting. <ok>
 
Leeds run in is not daunting whereas Weds & Fulham have to play each other so that unfortunately helps Leeds.

This years play off teams are so average. Reading for crying out loud and Leeds. <doh>

Hope Huddersfield win it.

........and definitely Huddersfield for me as well - especially if the Swans stay up.

If they go down, I might change my mind for financial reasons during the playoffs though.....<whistle>
 
Sorry Sparkey But im glad this has gone down.

Poor Leeds.<laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

And Tin Tin for the axe.:emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

Think the Jacks will be safe for 1 more season. They were robbed today.Rashford should get a ban.
