Evil Knievil: Kicking the ball around
Footie resumes tomorrow and I understand that Everton is value to beat Liverpool. Take 3/1. Elsewhere I have put £1,000 on Aston Villa to win the premiership at 200/1. Some will say I’m mad but, although they are possibly correct, backing Aston Villa is not a sound reason. Perhaps more prosaically, I have put £5,000 on Chelsea to win at 14/1. Backing local industry and all that.

The chairman and his representative on earth, Denham Eke, have put £2m into Manx Financial (LON:MFX) on loan terms. 6% p.a. does not seem unreasonable to me and is a comfort for us equity holders. MFX is now 8p.

Serco have sharply upgraded their prospects this morning. Perhaps Capita (LON:CPI) should be similarly treated.
Finally, I sold another 50,000 Orosur (LON:OMI) this morning – this time at 36p. My earlier sales were clearly premature. But this constant rise in the absence of news is suspicious.
Good luck with Villa, one in my local is on, at 500s early doors.
I don’t back on football outside of a ‘last man standing’ competition in my local. Your Chelsea bet smacks of desperation but I wish you well’ish being a Palace man!
