My Palace mate bet me last night that Beattie will score a minimum 25 league goals for Sheff U this season.

Now, was i taking advantage of a drunk man (20 cans of John Smiths), or does anyone actually think he will win his bet ?

    Difficult 1 to call, he's been injured quiet a lot and will be a marked man, i'd say he WON'T score 25.

    well our everton mates had a drink to toast the fact that it was the easiest money they'd made since we gave them 2.5m for Marcus

    He's a total confidence player and if he gets off to a decent start you may be in trouble but he looks heavy at the mo, so you can be the happier with the bet.

    i would say he's got a good bet if Warnock was still manager as they would play the long ball game to his strentghs. With robson I am not so sure but he will deffo get 15 easy.

    I'm with shag what's all this Palace and mate nonsense.

    As Ledge says, depends on tactics - if they expect him to run the channels he won't perform (like JFH last season).

    If they build their attacking play around him, providing good service from wide positions - he'll get enough chances to score plenty. He's a free kick and penalty taker too.

    To get 25 games he's going to have to play every league match, take the pens and have a stonking season to boot.

    I can't see it.

    A fit, confident and committed Beattie could be a right handful in this league.

    20-25 could be attainable considering that's really only a goal every other game

    Hmmm, six league goals already.

    Never bet with a drunk Palarse fan....

    No, the moral here is don't have P*larse fans as mates - particularly ones who drink shite like John Smiths!
