RELEGATION ROUNDABOUT - 4-3-08
Louis Spence
Before the start of the season I predicted on these pages that the bottom six Premiership places would go to Derby, Wigan, Fulham, Birmingham, Sunderland and Bolton. As I type this I note, I have thus far got just one wrong, with Wigan currently at fourteenth and Reading at eighteenth. For now.
With ten games left to play and just two points separating five clubs desperate to avoid what appears to be the final relegation place, we are in for a fascinating shoot-out as the season closes. Swings, roundabouts and car crash defending.
If you then add the rocky horror show that masquerades as Newcastle United (just another point clear), there is bound to be a weeping and a-wailing and a gnashing of teeth as positions change by the week. Kev’s boots were made for walking, that’s just what he does…
Just like a game of pass the parcel, no-one wants to be holding the poisoned chalice when the music stops.
Incidentally, I found it hilarious that Alan ‘flop of the season’ Smith should be exhorting his fellow Allardyce inductees to dig in to ensure their safety. With sedentary family man Mark Palooka (Pop Idle) and Joey Barmpot (he’s a lad, isn’t he?) in the side, I fear this may fall on stony ground.
I still cannot see Reading going down as their team spirit and work ethic should pull them through. And being a big fan of their rather under-rated manager, I hope this is the case. Still you pay your money and place your bet.
Current odds for relegation:
Fulham 1/4
Reading 5/2
Bolton 9/4
Birmingham 3/1
Sunderland 10/3
Newcastle 7/2
Wigan 4/1
As we examine the reluctant contenders, one of the interesting points is that five of the seven clubs have already ditched one manager this season.
Naturally the favourites to bullet their second are none other than the ‘magnificently supported’ Fairs' Cup Winners of hundreds of years ago; the 'We’re behind you Kev (miles behind), Dennis, you’ll have to use KK’s old kit, we’re not made of money, you know’ rabble up the road. Taxi!! Easy, Dennis.
Of course all of the managers will be desperate to survive but surely the pressure must weigh more heavily on those brought in to replace under-performing coaches.
Amongst them we have Riveting Roy Hodgson, the insomnia cure once binned by Blackburn (aw, yeah!) and Gary Megson, of whom it must be said that failure never went to his head. It had plenty of chances.
One suspects there is more than a touch of schadenfreude being enjoyed by Senor Sanchez and wee Sammy Lee as their valium emboldened successors lurch about amongst the dead men. Oh yes and of course Al Fayed will be calling for an enquiry if yet another imagined miscarriage of justice sees the end of his squad’s top flight sojourn. Diamond Giza.
Speaking for myself I would relax and enjoy the pure theatre of it all if only Boro would finally drag themselves from the threatening morass. Yes I know the FA halfwits are determined to send you packing again but you must rise above their pathetic prejudices.
Hope they don’t read this or it’s an ASBO now for Aliadiere for more frivolity. Now just watch how hard these nameless faceless gutless jobsworths, yes that includes you, Brian ‘Nothing can be done about it' Barwick, handle glamour boy Lampard’s appeal against a far more serious incident. Cowardly lackeys.
Riverside Red loyal and true
Riverside Red I wanna be like you
Singing your songs to follow your dream
And make your voice heard for your Middlesbrough team

A GUARANTEED PROFIT OF AT LEAST £41.20 ON PORTSMOUTH v FULHAM
Did you know that it is possible to win money on Sunday afternoon's Premiership clash between Portsmouth v Fulham, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 3.00pm and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £41.20, whatever the result of the match. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time, you will be at least £41.20 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
You can still do this if you have a Betfair account but your overall profit will be reduced by £25.00 as you won't receive the £25.00 cashback as an existing account holder.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £71.00 on the Portsmouth v Fulham match and we will collect £115.00 if Portsmouth win, £112.20 if Fulham win and £114.13 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of 58%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Coral. It is really important that you enter the bonus code of CORALTD when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Betfair. It is really important that you enter the promotional code of BFB425 when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Extrabet
 .
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £20.00 into your new Coral account.
Deposit £26.00 into your new Betfair account.
Deposit £25.00 into your Extrabet
account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Place £20.00 on Portsmouth at 3.00 (2/1) with Coral.
Coral will now add a £10.00 bonus to your account. Place this on Portsmouth as well. You will now have £30.00 riding on Portsmouth.
Back the draw with £25.00 at 3.7 (11/4) (or higher if available) with Betfair.
Place £26.00 on Fulham at 2.2 (6/5) with Extrabet .
Extrabet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £51.00 riding on Fulham.
The £25.00 matched bet will not show in your account but you can read all about how it works on the Extrabet site. It's the purple box that says '£25 FREE BET FOR NEW CUSTOMERS' on the top right hand side. Click here to visit the Extrabet site.
If you are unsure about placing these bets, please feel free to mail us or call us on 01642 223229 and we will talk you through it, no problem at all. There is no such thing as a stupid question.
You have temporarily laid out a total of £71.00 on the Portsmouth v Fulham match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.
If Portsmouth win, you collect £115.00. That's £90.00 from Coral plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If it's a draw, you collect £114.13. That's £89.13 from Betfair plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If Fulham win you collect £112.20. That's £87.20 from Extrabet plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Portsmouth v Fulham match is Fulham win and you make £41.20 profit. However, if it is a draw you make £43.13 and if Portsmouth win you make £44.00. That's a minimum profit of 58%, a much better rate of interest that you would get at any high street bank or building society.
6. It is absolutely vital that you click on the links on this page to open the accounts with the two bookies and enter the correct bonus codes or you may not qualify for the bonuses.

We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for four seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
