After two dismal resultson the football, we were prayingthat Dylan Thomas would get usout of jail. It wasn’t to be, however,as the nag’s lacklustre performancesuggested he was more concernedwith getting back into his box andaway from the appalling conditionsthan crossing the finishing line infront.We’ll be looking to the Soap Operathat is Tottenham Hotspur FootballClub for this week’s banker. All eyeswill be on Spurs’ visit to the Riversideon Saturday, and new managerRamos has publicly stated that hehopes to achieve results quickly inorder to breed confidence. In fact,Ramos’s timing couldn’t have beenmuch better, as Middlesbroughaway is the first of a series ofgames against some of the PremierLeague’s lesser lights. Boro havealready lost to Spurs in the LeagueCup, suffering the ignominy of failingto score against Tottenham’snotoriously leaky defence. Now onepoint above the bottom three, theygo into this with just one home winunder their belt. With a new managerat the helm, and the playersdesperate to impress, we’ll back Tottenhamto steal all three points.Fresh from a pulsating encounteragainst the superb Arsenal atAnfield, Liverpool travel to EwoodPark in the hope that they cankeep pace with the League leaders.It’s exactly the sort of fixture thatRafa Benitez will dread: the supporterswill be demanding victorybut Blackburn are an underratedteam in fine form. Since the 6-0rout of Derby, the Reds have lostto average European opponents inthe form of Marseille and Besiktas,and have stuttered to draws withPortsmouth, Birmingham and Tottenham.A 1-0 success at Wigan anda referee-assisted last-gasp win atGoodison Park suggests that Benitezstill has a lot of work to do, andthat Mark Hughes’ team could juststeal a point.We go all the way to Australiato try and find the value bet of theweek. The Melbourne Cup, billed as‘the race that stops a nation,’ is thetitle to win for Australian horses.However, we reckon the Irish bred‘Purple Moon’ should have the staminato see off any native rivals. Hewas unlucky not to win last time outand, with an experienced local jockeybooked for the ride, he should putin a bold run. That only two Europeanhorses have ever won the raceis a slight concern, so it might pay toback the gelding each way.THE BANKERTOTTENHAM TO BEATMIDDLESBOROUGH13/8£3PREDICTION 12/5BLACKBURN & LIVERPOOL TODRAW£3THE LONG SHOT 5/1PURPLE MOON TO WIN THEMELBBOURNE CUP £2e.w.RUNNING TOTAL £23.17Blues left kicking themselves»Disappointing loss against a side Cambridge could have beatenBLUES1COVENTRYSean BurtFootball Correspondent3As the sun set on Fenner’s Groundon Wednesday afternoon, CambridgeUniversity suffered their secondstraight defeat in the BUSA Leagueafter being soundly beaten by CoventryUniversity by three goals toone. Despite drawing in the returnfixture only three weeks ago, AnthonyMurphy’s Blues were well beatenby the stronger and better organizedaway side.The dark blues were immediatelymore aggressive both physically andmentally than the home side. Theytook the lead after only three minutesafter the Cambridge back fourfailed to clear a cross from the left.The ball was played back in fromthe right and the Coventry numbertwelve was unmarked to head insidethe near post from six yards.For the next twenty minutes neitherside could take control of thegame and both sides wasted halfchances as their defences had troubleclearing long balls into the box.As the game began to be contestedon the half way line, the bigger Coventrymidfield began to stamp theirauthority on the game in more waysthan one as tempers began to boilover.
