British Forum BETTING thread

Yeah i think it's the fact there a fair bit better then Blackburn/Bolton and Wigan. I was a bit disappointed by the odds myself, QPR have to spend but even doing that who will they get?. There gonna need real quality and some may not wanna go there on a permanent deal when teams struggling.

I'm considering contacting another bookmakers for this bet, add a 4th team and that will knock odds up a little.

 

I think Blackburn are down, Wigan are poor and will struggle, Bolton could still get out of it but they are selling cahill so they will be weaker.

I think they QPR need to spend a good bit to stay safe too but whereas the others don't have the money they do. I take your point on players wanting to move there though.

 

:good I agree about Bolton as well.

I personally don't see Henry scoring that many, two would be a success IMO.

 

They will IMO sadly!. It bugs me the way people wax lyrical over Martinez really does. He's actually taken the club backwards in terms of where they were with Bruce. I also don't see this great football that some say he plays, yes he was part of the foundations at Swansea but he should have this Wigan team up and at it by now but each season there atrocious yet rely on others being worse.

 

I don't see any quality with it, nothing makes me go wow (patterns of play etc) they just seem to play open football but nothing outstanding within that. There defending is atrocious like ours is at the moment. I don't rate the guy as highly as most i wanna see some improvement in a side that isn't that bad a squad. He's actually added **** to it when you look at Swansea who've added a fantastic signing in Sigurdsson. Quality is out there, lower leagues and abroad.

 

I rated the kid when he smashed us to bits in U21 game, What happened at Hoffenheim?.

I do agree with you on Martinez trying to attack being admirable. A lot better then some who've decided to go 4-5-1. I think the 3-4-3 there using is actually baffling teams .

 

They did same against us other week, i sat there and thought 'were taking our time here, maybe the players are just happy to probe and then grab a goal then wrap it up'. They were wide open with David Jones playing LWB against Sturridge and getting ripped to bits.

I'll try and get a list of transfers since he's been at club. Won't make for pretty reading i bet.

Yep Rodgers has been very smart indeed. He's worked with him IIRC :think.

Plenty of crap he's bought, when he took over Wigan finished the previous season 11th.

 

Sigurdsson got injured at the start of the season that why he wasnt in the team

 

:good Cheers mate, hope he's injured January 31st when we make way to Swansea.
