Brentford betting

A quickie post just ahead of this afternoon's crucial game at Brentford. We all know what's at stake - a win and we can look forward to our 6th consecutive season in League One, anything else and it will go to next week's home game against Oldham. Griffin Park is a tough place to go to get a result. The Bees haven't lost at home since last October, but on the other hand have nothing left to play for anymore this season, whereas the Glovers will surely be going all out to attack. The bookies make the home side favourites at 11/10, the draw is priced at 12/5 and the away win at 12/5. My fiver will be going on a Yeovil win. Running total: +£13.88p. Come on you greens!

Just read: A Time To Die and The Quest by Wilbur Smith: I've been on a bit of a Wilbur Smith binge lately, the first time I've read any of his novels and all I can say is how did I go go long without trying his books before now? Wonderful storytelling, high adventure and all three of the novels I've read by him have been very different. Of these two, A Time To Die is set on the border of modern day Zimbabwe and Mozambique and is a high octane thriller; The Quest is completely different, a fantasy set in ancient Egypt; both are hugely readable and immensely enjoyable. Highly recommended.
