Well worth a punt - but tempting fate!

only 6/1 ??
We have progressed. Tbh I see us as 8th best team in division now. Southampton have been pulled apart transfer wise and i dont see teams below us improving enough. That said, I think we have work on our hands if we are to bridge the gap to top 7.

Deffo worth a punt at 6s, we have got as good as chance as anyone else and should be top 10 at least.

I'm on:
6/1 winners w/o big seven (betvictor)
2/1 for a top 10 finish (bwin)
11/8 top midlands team (skybet)
Piece of piss.

I think 8th is the highest we could realistically finish.It will be a good season if we manage that

I like this piece, apart from the last sentence: Mark Hughes has a record for delivering top-half finishes that only the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger can rival. Six full Premier League campaigns as a manager (three for Blackburn, one for Man City, one for Fulham and one for Stoke) have concluded with six top-ten showings.
The Welshman led Blackburn to two top-seven spots in three years compared to just one in the seven years prior and was best of the rest at Fulham in 2010/11, with both of those clubs relegated within four years of his departure. |

The top midlands side would seems to me to be the best 6/4 shot I've seen for a while. The fact Villa are second favs in the market tells you all you need to know about the value.

Betting aside - and I don't bet - it is actually an excellent summary of our situation and review of the progress Hughes has made. I particularly like the phrase, ' bastion of dependability'. in relation to the club I love. I'm cautious, middle-aged and a bit boring. Such words appeal to me.

Have you bought an inappropriately large motorcycle yet old man?  No way will we finish 8th! Not with runs to the League Cup final and FA Cup Semi!  |

Actually, a motorbike never has, and never will be, my thing. I have my eye on a Triumph Vitesse soft top, though.

Stoke to win FA Cup 2015 - 40/1 Stoke to win League Cup 2015 - 40/1 Both on Bet 365. I'd put £10 on each and £30 on the highest club outside the top seven. If any came in you'd be laughing. |

I don't know where or how to start > You can bet on owt these days it seems: number of points, goals scored, own goals, red cards, throw ins, average windspeed at the Brit, the colour of Arnie's boots, how high Hughesy can launch his coat, or Brek Shea's hairdo at xmas. Loads of scope. {I'm not really knocking the current state of Gaming, after all it's helping to fill our coffers.} |
