MIDDLESBROUGH v FC BASEL - ODDS PREVIEW I
I'm not too worried about the fact that Boro need to win by three clear goals tonight. We never do things the easy way and the challenge just adds to the excitement of the occasion.
Make no mistake about it - Boro are going to win tonight, whatever the team selection, whatever the tactics, whatever the opposition do, we are going to win and play in the semi-finals of the Uefa Cup.
I'll take 4-1 or even 5-2 or 6-3. I'll even settle for a penalty shoot-out if that's what it takes. It doesn't matter how we do it, just as long as we do it and do it we will.
But our old mate Victor Chandler doesn't seem to think so. Just take a look at what he's done here...
MIDDLESBROUGH TO WIN 3-0 AND JIMMY FLOYD HASSELBAINK TO SCORE FIRST ----- 60/1
Let me spell that out - a whopping SIXTY TO ONE on Boro to do the business and Jimmy to open the scoring. A fiver on that will bring you in a massive three hundred quid which means you can afford to take tomorrow off work as you nurse your victory celebration hangover.
Victor has a string of 60/1 offers as part of his sxitieth birthday celebrations but I feel as though he has gone a little too far with this one and could get taken to the cleaners instead of being taken out for a birthday drink.
I'm having a straight twenty quid on this one and I'll get a return of THREE THOUSAND QUID when/if it comes in. And I might just stake the lot on Boro to lift the Uefa Cup tomorrow morning.
You might think that is reckless but if so, you probably didn't back Boro to get past Stuttgart and Roma. Hang on to your hat. It could be a long night...
