I've had a Boxing Day Trixie
After the sacking of Pardew, i'm of the opinion that Watford can take advantage. At home and at almost 6/4 odds, on a difficult coupon, i've put them in.
Rightly or wrongly the sacking is a little sad. A good player for Palace and will forever be a fans favourite for his part in that Fa Cup, 4-3 semi final win against Liverpool. One Hundred yrs ago.
And Palace cant be up for this knowing Allardice is the front runner, surely?
Vardy has been a bit of a wanker hasn't he. Booking Christmas off like that. I keep expecting Leicester to win games like they did last season but they only seem to be interested in the CL this season, which is fair enough. All the same Everton aren't bad and will be looking to bounce back. Leicester aren't setting the Prem alight this season, 2/1 for the away, on current Prem form. In.
I fancy Sheffield Wednesday to get a draw at Newcastle too, not strongly, not strongly at all but at almost 3/1, two big Cities who have only drawn 5 between them this season, are maybe due one, i'm going lucky dip.
That's my trixie.
I haven't backed Gateshead yet (5/2), but they are away to Barrow, who are unbeaten in 24.
It's a mini north east derby and from my days of following Hereford in the Conference, these type of derby on Boxing day games, throw up plenty of away results.
