Beer Fund Raising : 06 - 07 Oct 2007

Well the good news is that I figured out that as long as I don't serve up Pasta ala Claypot, I should be doing ok with my bets. So I guess my mantra for this season is No Italian and No Midweek bets.

So I managed to stablised my wagers as I climbed 1-UP last weekend to keep my losses down to a manageable 1.5-DN for now. However, if all continues to go according to plan, I should be able to wipe out the deficit as early as this weekend and start generating moolah (finally!).

Anyway, all is quiet on a Saturday this week across the 3 countries as there are no midweek fixtures, following this weekend, ahead of the Euro2008 qualifiers next weekend.

All the action will be on Sunday to give all the clubs that were involved in the earlier midweek European campaigns an extra day of rest.

Meanwhile, back at the Stadium Of Light, Sunderland is still stuttering while trying to climb up the league ladder. Roy Keane must have picked up a "Miss A Turn" chance card last week as Wanker Points Index stays at 8 for another week.

The way I see it, it would probably be another week at 8 points as Sunderland travels to Arsenal on this Sunday. I expect a mauling at the Emirates Stadium.

Come to think of it, it might just be a very strong possibility that Sunderland may remained stuck at 8 for the entire October.

Think about this:

1. 07 Oct 2007 - Away to Arsenal. You seriously think Sunderland can take even a point here?
2. 13 Oct 2007 - No game due to Euro2008
3. 21 Oct 2007 - Away to West Ham United. Away game says it all.
4. 28 Oct 2007 - Home to Fulham. Perhaps their best bet to get some points this month is here but given a bad streak of 4 winless games, who is to say that this would be the game that they would turn around?
