Spurs are worth a look
I see that Spurs have shortened to 15/1 for the Barclays Premiership this year and I don’t think this is the worst bet going considering the results over the weekend.
Chelsea, Arsenal and United all dropped points this weekend and that leaves a real dogfight at the top of the table.
A quick reminder – here are the odds as supplied by Ladbrokes to win the Premiership:
- Manchester City – 17/10
- Manchester United – 5/2
- Tottenham Hotspurs – 15/1
- Arsenal – 34/1
- Chelsea – 44/1
- Liverpool – 126/1
The table looks like this: City and United are tied at the top on 45 points each. Spurs have a game in hand and are on 39 points while Chelsea have played 1 extra and are on 37.
While assumption is the mother of all evil (Especially with these bizarre results of the last week) let’s for a moment assume that Spurs get max points against WBA tomorrow. Then they are in with a serious shout especially if United get tied up in European competition.
15/1 looks generous… I also think that 44/1 is worth an outside punt on Chelsea – espcially if they spend a few bucks in the transfer window…

Spurs need learn to find the back of the net! Last night they had more than 20 shots on goal and took them until the 63rd minute to get one in the back of the net – they were running riot and still couldn’t settle it
