After the poor showing in the last week of August I was pleased to see September get off to a great start.  The Premier Fund recorded a gain of 16.5%, the Championship fund contributed a gain of just over 6% and the Trading Fund made hay with a gain of just under 24%.

A large part of the gains from last weekend came from Liverpool burying Man Utd at home.  Depsite what Andy Gray might have been looking at I thought Liverpool were the better team throughout the whole match.  They may have fallen to an early goal but apart from that lapse which came in the first few minutes Liverpool were very controlled.  I think the Reds are a great bet for the title if you want to see any decent return on your money.

This weekend we have major bets on Blackburn at home to Fulham, laying Stoke at Liverpool and backing Portsmouth away at Man City.  As for the Championship, as always i’m banking on that outsider coming home.  This week it’s Blackburn away at Birmingham.
