The joy came in the form of smashing the bookies up for the second day running (110 pts in 2 days). The pain came in the form of a crushing defeat for Middlesex, followed by a thumping win for Man City and the final nail in the coffin, Portsmouth winning in extra time. Pick up a nice Murphy bonus. Yes, I tried to buy a Spurs win by backing Portsmouth. The only good news was the draw of Manchester United which means my monster bet on Chelsea to win the Premiership looks very secure right at the minute. Will consider locking in the profit but I think might let it ride. To be honest the money will be a bonus. Don’t really enjoy locking money up for that long. I will be laying England to win the world cup along with Spain but will wait until nearer the time.
Spain 5/1 and England 6/1 to win the World Cup give me a break. Spain should be around 10/1 and England at least 20/1. Rooney or no Rooney. Naturally I will go mental if we do win.
Anyway time to bury myself in work whilst licking my wounds. Well done Portsmouth and well done Worcestershire. Fraser seriously we need some cover for when Shah and Morgan not available to play. Our batting order is very weak especially as Strauss very rarely perform for us. No strength in depth in the bowling department either. A long season ahead methinks.
