Even a betting genius can occasionally be perplexed by difficult questions.
If a tree fell in the middle of a forest, and my Mrs was not there to hear it, would it still be my fault?
If one hand clapping does not make a sound, is there ever any noise at St Andrews?
Why is Robbie Earnshaw left on the bench?
The Albion are fighting relegation, yet Bryan Robson leaves his only goal threat out of the starting eleven. Geoff Horsfield does have the ability to hold the ball up well, but he's not a Premiership goal scorer, he's not even a Championship goal scorer. In fact, he would find it difficult to score in Essex with a Lamborghini, which he probably owns due to the fact that managers continually play him in the Premiership ahead of quality strikers like Earnshaw.
You must back the Boro to keep a clean sheet, an 11/10 shot at Betfred.
Milan Mandaric's desire to appoint a British manager with Premiership experience led to the appointment of Alain Perrin, and surprisingly, his decision appears to be sound. The South Coast derby is the match of the weekend, and if you're thinking what I'm thinking, you'll get on the draw, a
9/4 shot at Coral.
Man United's off the field distractions continue. Rio Ferdinand and Peter Kenyon are best friends, Gary Neville tried to decapitate a Scouser with a football and Wayne Rooney could lose up to £10 million in sponsorship deals after an alleged dust up with Coleen. (Rio Ferdinand would have to work for almost three months to earn a similar amount.)
If you believe Man U could slip up as a result of these side issues, you can back the Geordies with Coral at 15/2.
