Football

Greetings from the US Immigration queue at Dallas, Texas. I saw Captain Faldo and his team check in this morning and at 8am tomorrow I'm hoping to be there to see them hit their first practice drives at Valhalla. Ryder Cup tips to follow, but just football today.


7.45 Bristol C v Birmingham <2.5gls 6/5 (LOST -6.00 - Lee Trundle's late consolation for City made it 2-1)
Bristol City were the least interesting team in the Championship last season - topping the division for some time and missing out in the playoffs, but scoring less goals than relegated Leicester! Birmingham have been efficient rather than outstanding so far, so expect a quiet affair on the goals front at Ashton Gate.

7.45 Burnley draw with Blackpool 5/2 (LOST -7.00 - 2-0 to Burnley with 2 goals in last half hour)
Blackpool were the away draw specialists last season and have continued in the same vein this season. There is little to choose between the two sides anyway, so I expect the draw run to continue.
