THE WEEK ON THE TEES - THE AMBASSADOR'S RECEPTION 20-8-08
Luke Raine
Well what a start to the season for Boro fans. A full house, a couple of goals and an energetic performance from a young side. And even the sun was shining.
Boro fans are too down to earth after previous disappointments to get carried away after one performance but the signs were so encouraging that it was hard not to be.
David Wheater excelled out of position, probably gaining the man of the match award ahead of Tuncay because of this. Wheater looked like he had played right back his whole life and that is testament to his determination and ability.
Admittedly, the team did catch Tottenham on a good day. Maybe a few months down the line, once their players have gelled, they will be a different proposition. Even then, though, they certainly won't be a top four proposition.
Manchester United were the odd ones out of the quartet as they dropped two points at home to our friends on Tyneside. Newcastle did put in a good performance but they also caught their opponents at a good time, with the home side missing a number of key players.
What I don’t understand is all the fans and pundits jumping on the Chelsea bandwagon. Okay, they played well at home to Portsmouth, but didn’t United do that and more to teams last season?
Chelsea have been over-hyped in my opinion and once United have their full compliment back (plus the imminent arrival of Dimitar (the sulk) Berbatov), they will be producing performances that will eclipse what Chelsea did on Sunday.
The most impressive thing about the Stamford Bridge outfit was their new signing, Deco, who ran the show from a variety of positions. At the same time, however, it made me wonder how such a small, technical player would fare during away games during the winter months. It will be interesting.
It will be even more interesting if he becomes the fulcrum of Chelsea’s team and they start relying on him like United do with Ronaldo. None of Manchester United’s new players are new to this country and that could be in their favour come the crunch in May.
Yesterday saw the announcement of the “new” England captain as John Terry. It is clearly a ploy from Fabio Capello to keep the press thinking, as this isn’t the first time he has sprung a surprise.
All the signs pointed to Rio Ferdinand being named captain but I feel that Capello wants to be in control of the press, not the other way round, as has been the case during previous regimes.
As for the choice, I don’t think that it is the right one for a number of reasons.
Firstly, Terry led the team during an unsuccessful qualification campaign. Therefore, maybe a fresh start was needed, not only for Terry but for the other players too.
Secondly, from what I have read, I think Ferdinand would be a better ambassador off the pitch than Terry. He is known to have undertaken charity work on a number of occasions and hasn’t been pictured parking his Bentley in disabled parking bays recently.
It would take a big man to argue with Capello and maybe the captaincy isn’t such a big deal. In reality, if England qualify for the World Cup in two years time and go on to the semi-finals and beyond, no one will give a jot.

The European U-21 Championship kicks off on Monday and did you know that it is possible to win money on Monday evening's clash between Spain U21 and Germany U21, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 7.45pm UK Time and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £45.20, 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 £45.20 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.
Also, please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using,
you won't be able to do this. If that is the case, mail
us or phone us on 01642 223229 as we have alternative bets written and ready to mail out to you using different bookies.
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 £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match and we will collect £134.20 if Spain U21 win, £136.50 if Germany U21 win and £135.00 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, 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 Paddy Power.
Open an account with Bet On Bet.
Open an account with  Bet 24.
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £25.00 into your new Paddy Power account.
Deposit £36.00 into your Bet On Bet account.
Deposit £28.00 into your new Bet 24 account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Back the draw with £25.00 at 11/5 with Paddy Power.
Paddy Power will now add a £25.00 bonus to your account. Place this on the draw as well. You will now have £50.00 riding on the draw.
Back Spain U21 with £36.00 at odds of 2.20 (6/5) with Bet On Bet.
Bet On Bet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £61.00 riding on Spain U21.
The £25.00 matched bet will not show in your account but you can read all about how it works on the Bet On Bet site.
Place £28.00 on Germany U21 at odds of 3.25 with Bet 24.
Bet 24 will now add a £14.00 bonus to your account. Place this on Germany U21 as well. You will now have £42.00 riding on Germany U21.
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 £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 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. All winnings are paid out on the ninety minute result.
If it's a draw, you collect £135.00 from Paddy Power.
If Spain U21 win, you collect £134.20 from Bet On Bet.
If Germany U21 win, you collect £136.50 from Bet 24.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match is Spain U21 win and you make £45.20 profit. However, if Germany U21 win you make £47.50 profit and if it is a draw you make £46.00 profit. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, a much better rate of interest than 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 three bookies or you may not qualify for the
bonuses/free bets.
Also, before you place your bets, you should check that the odds haven't changed. If they have, let us know by mail or phone us on 01642 223229 and we will rework the bet
for you.
There is a wagering requirement at Bet 24. You have to roll your winnings over before we can withdraw them but it is very easy to do this risk-free. If Germany U21 win, please contact us and we'll show you exactly how to do this. Winnings from the other two bookies are immediately withdrawable.
Please feel free to contact us or phone us on 01642 223229 if you have any questions at all about this bet and we will help you as much as we can.
Please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using, you

This method of betting was used very successfully during the 2006 World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.
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 this is the fifth season that we have been publishing these kind of bets 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, which is highly unlikely.
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 next season.
