You Do Thumb Thing To Me
In order to improve, we have to evolve. Way back in 1782,
a Judge decreed that a husband may continue to beat his
wife, as long as the stick with which he administers the
castigation is not thicker than his thumb. Some called this
political correctness gone mad, but I prefer to think of Judge
Buller as a progressive idealist.
Football has also had its fair share of forward thinkers. In
1987, the football league introduced the antidote to dull
end-of-season match-ups. It wasn't a time-machine to talk
Mrs Mourinho out of that extra glass of wine; but it was the
next best thing; the play-offs literally revolutionalised the
beautiful game.
With the possible exception of a stag-party in Amsterdam,
or a minor operation for the wife, watching the play-off finals
is as close to a perfect weekend as you're likely to find. The
only way to improve the experience is if a little profit can be
made, and as luck would have it, a pearl of a punt has brazenly
presented itself in the Championship finale.
If somebody offered you 7/5 on the outcome of a coin-toss,
you'd rip their arm off; that's why Jackiey Goody flopped as
a bookmaker. Derby are trading at 2.40 on the exchanges to
win promotion, even though they're facing a West Brom side
who finished a distant eight points behind them in the league.
It's time to stand up and bet like a man; I'm asking the wife
for a few quid to get on.
Michael Jackson and Robbie Williams should both start for
Blackpool against Yeovil; the league one play-off will either
be a thriller or a camp useless sorry excuse for entertainment.
The red-hot Seasiders are on a nine match winning streak;
I'll be getting involved at a balcony-dangling 13/10.
Saying goodbye to the Gay Meadow may sound like a sequel
to Brokeback Mountain, but it's a reality for fans of Shrewsbury
Town. All Bristol Rovers are interested in is the taming of the
Shrews, the Pirates will land the spoils at 7/5.
It's 1/100 that the Scottish FA cup final proves a more
entertaining spectacle than the dross served up in the English
showpiece. A young lady actually fell asleep in the boozer where
I watched the ?action', although that was my fault.
I normally avoid taking an interest in a match with a heavy
Scottish contingent; you just can't trust a footballer whose idea
of lean cuisine is to lightly dip a Mars bar in a deep-fat fryer.
Celtic have lost three of their four matches though, the 10/1
for a Dunfermline upset is sitting on the verge of appealing.
The Republic of Ireland look a great bet in their International
friendly. It's been alleged that the Bolivian team are dismayed
with this fixture; they were hoping to meet Scotland to get a
little bit of business done on the side. Get your green on the
Irish at 5/4.
The Welsh are also in action against New Zealand, and somewhat
surprisingly, there's not a rugby ball or a nervous farm animal to
be seen. The following few words are rarer than a Robbie Savage
appearance on QI; Wales should win this match. The 1/2 for a
Welsh win is the prize lamb in the paddock.
I asked the wife if there was anything she would change about
my body; she said there was just one little thing. Personally, I
just want wider thumbs. This week's accer is the actual definition
of perfection; Derby, Blackpool, Real Madrid and Seville will all
oblige at an impeccable 12/1.Labels: Betting, Football, Play-Off Final, Soccer
