It was inevitable. (It is the sort of thing that has to happen sooner or later when you are in a round-robin schedule, such as the English Premier League).
Tomorrow (which starts in just under two hours time), Southampton FC visit Portsmouth FC. The kick-off is scheduled for 12:00, and there will be over 400 police in attendance. That works out at roughly one police officer per fifty people in the football ground, and more than one police officer per steward.
Southampton, headed by the o-so-popular Mr Redknapp, who 'took a break from football' at Portsmouth FC earlier in the season only to appear a couple of weeks later just up the road, are currently sitting in twentieth position in the league table. This is bad news (for them), because there are only twenty teams in the premier league. If things stay that way, Southampton will not only go down, but go down as champion losers.
Current betting is 6/5 Portsmouth, 9/4 the Draw, and 7/4 Southampton.
Although we have stopped betting on premiership relegation now, we were showing 1/10 Norwich, 1/3 West Brom, 1/3 Southampton, 4/7 Crystal Palace. Portsmouth were 11/1 in the relegation book.
Bye bye Harry... Have fun in the fizzy league.
