Yesterday I popped in my local bookmaker shop and put season long treble. Staked £10 hoping to win big, just to cover my next holidays expenses. I chose three United's and will be hoping they will make me rich.
1. Manchester United - to win Premierleague, odds 2.50. They kept all players from last season, except retired Van Der Saar and Paul Scholes. But probably added not worse signings in David de Gea, Ashley Young and Phil Jones. MU had great preseason and looks like the team to win 20th league title. Doesn't feel like moneybags Man City or pensioners from Chelsea could prevent that happening.
2. West Ham United - to win Championship, odds 5.00. Sam Allardyce was busy in preseason, kept most of main players, added couple good signings and looks like the top contenders to bounce back to Premierleague, where team with such history and support belongs.
3. Newcastle United - to be relegated, odds 7.50. I can't understand what team owner is doing releasing Nolan, Jose Enrique and Joey Barton (he is still in the team, but is more than unclear about his future after Tweeting about Newcastle board). All three players were heart and soul of Geordies team. I think they will struggle this season.
This treble pays@93.75. So hopefully tenner should keep me interested in those three teams till May, when I'll grab a nice check of £937 or... will forget about this treble after few month if Hammers will be in the bottom of the table or Newcastle will be flying high:)
Still, it's nice to have a dream!
