Fulham bring Spurs back to earth

Hope you were all on Fulham at fancy prices as advised earlier in the week..

The quotes from leading bookmakers - 9/4 generally available on Fulham - bore no relation to the real world and once again highlighted that betting on reputation and size of club is an expensive game.

I made Fulham at best a 6/4 shot to overcome an average Spurs side on Saturday, so was rubbing my hands with glee whilst reviewing the opinions of layers up and down the country.

Just backing Fulham blind in every game would have yielded a level stakes profit so far this season. Bearing in mind their away day achilles, any odds against quote on Fulham at Craven Cottage should be hoovered up immediately. (Home to Man City on Dec 6th may well pay for Christmas unless the so-called experts wake up in the next couple of weeks)

Fulham are a tough proposition at the Cottage, solid at the back and with enough flair and cutting edge to trouble far better sides than Spurs.

The Zamora - Johnson partnership is beginning to bear fruit and it is surely only a matter of time before Roy Hodgson masterminds an improvement in an embarrassing away record.

As for Spurs, they will get nowhere fast with Gomes the clown in between the sticks and the limited Darren Bent up front on his own. Don't get me wrong, Spurs are in no danger of going down despite still being in the bottom 3, but this latest defeat will do no harm to the fawning media and their deluded fanbase.
