Tuesday 5th January

Let it snow, let it snow… let in snow! The snow started to fall heavily from 5pm and by the time the Stoke v Fulham game started, there must have been 4 inches outside.

When Sanli scored the opener on 12 minutes (should have backed him to score first as his name is pretty close to Stanley and Tanley!), I decided to sell total goals at 3.2 for £100. When Faye and Sidibe both scored in a three minute period just after the half hour mark, I knew I was in trouble. I closed my position minutes before Duff pulled one back for the visitors by buying back at 4.2, so was thrilled when Fulham added another shortly after.

I’m not sure why I was so pleased with myself as it had all still cost me £100.
