For years it seemed to be true as team after team appeared to lose their next game – although I never actually put any money on it!

  • Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Preview
    I can’t say I care too much for this as a competition, unfortunately the same can be said for many of the teams taking part which makes it a bit of a minefield as a betting event. Many teams will be trying to remain focused on their League campaign, whilst others will see this as an opportunity for a Wembley final or even silverware. On current form, Leeds away to...
