Cheers Smythy. Nice synopsis of the 70 odd pages that I read last night. Should have waited until today.

Interesting piece at the back by Kevin Pullein about his regard for the tipsters league and using their expert knowledge. May have a piece of that this year myself.

Was looking at that myself. Sky Bet are the only ones to have shown profit on each season.

With the help of the Racing post I'm going with this:

Sheffield United to finish top of the Northern group:

Newcastle 2/1

Middlesbrough 5/2

Sheffield United 9/2

Preston 9/1

Sheffield Wednesday 11/1

Doncaster 28/1

Barnsley 33/1

Blackpool 40/1

Scunthorpe 50/1


The teams ahead of them in the betting are too short. They look the strongest.Should be strong enough to bounce back from their play off final defeat. United went close last season and should be capable enough to be involved again. Ched Evans is a shrewd acquisition, he has a bright future ahead of him and can easily bag a hatful of goals this term. Sheffield have got adecent blend of youth and experience. Newcastle and Boro have lost their best players and are both involved in a transition period now. While on the other hand Sheffield United are in a different position as they are building for the future while the other pair are dismantling and counting the cost for previous mistakes. The bottom four can be disregarded really as they are the four favourites for relegation also. 9/2 looks a good price as well considering the next best price is 7/2.

Backing Sheffield United to finish top of the Northern group @ 9/1 with Totesport 3pts.

Interestingly United face Boro tonight.
