Good post Hman. I see you're a Gold member now. There's a thread called 'Reading's chances' that might interest you.

Mr Fanclub bigged up Blackburn's chances a while back. I didn't go in then but I will now. They had a bit of a blip but seem to be back on track now. McCarthy and Nonda can trouble any defence on their day, and the rest of their team look pretty solid. This market still looks wide open to me. Bolton were very shoddy defensively against Boro. Ben Haim is a big loss I think. I wouldn't read too much into that defeat though. It was one of those days where everything clicked for my team. Downing played a blinder, and Viduka and Yakubu caused no end of problems with their strength and movement. Spurs are predictably short, while Pompey seem to be struggling for goals at the moment. Everton are too inconsistent, and will miss AJ as you say. Not sure how long he's out for. Bolton are obvious favourites but it would only take a few injuries and they could easily come back to the chasing pack. It will be interesting to see if Big Sam is able to strengthen his squad, because I think fatigue could be a factor at some point. He's not really able to rotate his players at present. 20/1 is definite value. Cheers for the heads-up.
