Being a cottager hasn’t always been the most fashionable hobby, but at least - to the relief of some of my colleagues - it’s no longer illegal. And those of the Fulham persuasion could be cashing in on our Handiap betting market. Hodgson’s men are now in to 9/1 favourites for the Handicap title - probably more due to the failings of others than anything in particular they’ve done themselves.
The general malaise in the top half of the table has meant teams with big points starts are looking likely to hold on at the top. Fulham with 46 points are looking handy, whilst Hull are also fancied. A great start to the season plus a whole 56 points on the handicap means that with 63 points in the bank they probably only need another 30. They’re 11-1 and well worth considering.
Of the front runners, Man City in particular got a wake up call over the weekend and their odds drifted from 11/2 to 14/1! Liverpool look the strongest challenger from that half of the table and are 12/1. For the likes of Spurs it is surely all over - our traders were wary of them before the season but it’s been a season of dissapointment for them and they are now 40/1 to take the handicap!
Don’t forget, you can follow it all here - and betting is still open.

premiership brains = 90% of population here, give them british passports, following teams that are usually inferior in technique and skill to their continental adversaries but somehow manage to win european cups/champions leagues by default. 84, 99, 05, etc don’t mention last final! notice the relevant national team which is engerland never has or probably will back up the club sides with a world/continental final or title - italy, germany, holland did it, even spain did it ffs. real football is dead , wait a second it’s the late 70s early 80s all over again. yawn - boring.

Wtf has that got to do with the article????
Back to the point, I still quite fancy Portsmouth on the handicap but whether they can finish 26 points above Hull seems a bit doubtful thanks the Tigers’ great start.

I love fulham on handicap especially on 1/2-asian handicap (given or taken half ball).
