Who'd you place that with? Didn't think most bookies would allow the bet. I stacked on them last season mid way through thinking they were certs . . .:-(
I haven't yet..... you are probably right, it's unlikely they would. Worth a try though. You could always put a bit on Leeds to be the winner, then have a small bet on Charlton as an insurance policy. They seem the next best side in the division.... or MK Dons.
Marsielle over Zurich is kinda risky cause Marsielle arent playing up to thier abilities right now either. The hottest team to bet on in Ligue 1 right now is AJ Auxerre. I dunno but ill do a small parlay on that **** i guess. Ill do Marsielle, Chelsea, Porto, Man U. I put 10 to win 50.
If I was betting on it I would go with Leeds but then if Beckford goes in January it could change the spirit as well as everything else. I always look out for MK DOns when I put accumulators on at the weekends. Often a great side to back away from home
Been staying well away from my boys at the minute. Thye looked shocking against Sheff Utd last night. Bloody Hughtonatsch
To be honest I haven't heard of much interest in Beckford of late. My theory - if Leeds are, by their estimation, far enough ahead of the chasing pack come the middle of the window they might be able to sell. If they are pretty close, they won't. To me, it's no good selling your leading scorer only to end up staying in League 1, when the additional attendances and TV in the Championship will cover the 'cost' of letting him go on a free. Honestly though, I don't see him doing it at Championship level. He only played against one Championship standard centre back in the whole of last season, the kid from Millwall, in the playoffs, and was marked out of both games. His ball control is terrible, he relies on his pace too much against the journeymen and pensioners in this division. Any centreback with pace or positional sense would easily have him in their pocket.
Don't know all that much about him to be honest. Was there not some foreign side interested? Portugal or Turkey?
