He's on the Quayside at the moment with the Palace squad. Hope someone gives him some abuse.

Dunno if I've ever mentioned it but I fucking love Chris Hughton.

He's right like, we love to buy players from the best teams in Holland then wonder why they disappear when we don't have the ball. I watch a canny bit of Eredivisie for betting purposes and it's a very entertaining league but it's not known for its grit and determination, which is why I like to bet on it. Sides like PSV basically don't do any defending, just make sure they keep the ball for 70% of the game, and if they do concede, no worries, they'll just get another one in a bit.

As Disco said last night, NUFC have said that we're definitely staying up so why does it matter who wins between the mackems and Palace?

Hell of a stat that at the end mind, 17 years yesterday since an all-English XI started a Premier League game.

'Key' player though Dave, be fair. Can't expect any team to win a game within three months with that sort of injury crisis.

Lyon completely dominating PSG, should be out of sight.

Absolute bellend.

Well done mate, that's why I've lost a packet this weekend.

Hope triggs didn't cash out.

Stoke to score twice is evens. Pff.

Because I had faith when I placed the bet. Rather the sorrow of losing a bet than the sorrow of missing out on more winnings if it comes in. Obviously understand the thought process would vary from person to person. Circumstances change during games though, it's pure stupidity to risk 90%+ of your winnings if your team has had a man sent off, or had their best defender go off injured, or if they're simply not playing like you thought they would. Ruling out the possibility of ever doing it is daft. My mate on the other hand will regularly cash bets out for a small profit when he only needs one goal for them to win, as he assumes it won't happen. Absolute madness.

I saw it earlier but can't now, is it Athletic Bilbao? No way would I be trusting them to beat Valencia given the respective form of both sides, but then I am having a dreadful betting weekend.

There's a time and a place for cashing out. If you've got 2-1 and that's the scoreline going into injury time, and your team's getting battered, why take the risk for an extra tiny fraction of the winnings? I rarely cash out personally but I've made some very successful ones in the past on teams that went on to concede within minutes.

Indeed. Proper one-man band they are.

Definitely my favourite image on the entire internet.

Thank fuck for that.

Commentators still wanking over him bringing their best player off the bench having left him out. "Such an impact he's made!" The only player who's made the slightest impression for Palace is Jonas Olsson.

Until he dies so hopefully another week or so.
