The Joker's Bet Of The Day: Monday 9 March

A tip from the joker to get your betting day under way...

Say what you like about the French but at least they're dignified in what they have to say about others - unlike us English of course.

In a recent interview, one of Chelsea's French based players commented on Phil Scolari's surprise sacking. "Zee is a magnifique man with beautiful ideas", he said, "But just like when ze butterflies stop fluttering when you no longer love ze woman, our passion for playing football died for ze man we no longer ad faith in".

Asked to comment on the same subject, a leading English player at Chelsea simply said: "Scolari was an idiot!"

There will be a lot of respectful things said tonight also, when the top match in the French second division sees fifth place Angers SCO host league leaders RC Lens. Both teams are in decent form, with Angers being a reliable home team and Lens losing just the three games on the road all season. I for one can't split them, so back The Draw at [3.1].
