Honest question, how much profit/loss have you made in the last couple of months? It just seem unimaginable that you actually make any profit off it.

Find it extremely harsh to drop Mbiwa. If anything Debuch or Colo should've been dropped, but at the same time, luxury problem for Pardew. Feeling really confident about this, so we'll probably lose.

Scoring goals, would've been a better player if he was Brazilian

Get in.

£10 returns £63 if Arsenal holds on and Real Madrid beats Valladolid.

Made Lukaku captain and got Benteke in for RvP. What a shit deal this is going to be.

Hope Villa can squeeze a goal in, want the mackems 6points behind 17th.

Dortmund won 3-1. Conceded a penalty but also scored to themselves, the last one Mkitharyan wanted to take but Lewandowski took it anyways, cant say the armenian looked happy at all.

Any manager would've done what he did in his position at the time. He was dead wrong, but that doesn't make him a bad person or so. Would've loved him here and said all along with a better squad he'll make a lot more of it. Imagine if they had actually put the ball in the net in those earlier games when they were drawing, could've easily been 2nd in the league. I don't mind a manager defending their players but he went way, way OTT in doing so. He did similar at the weekend with Mirralles too. As i/you say though doing a superb job, great use of the transfer market too. To get Lukaku, Gaz Baz and Delofeu for more or less nowt is great work. I always defended his transfers policy because even if he failed a lot they all seemed like a must measure in order to improve the squad he had, obviously players as Boselli failed, but he had to throw money at them to get them. Getting bunch of averages wouldn't have helped him. He's always been an excellent footballing manager and that's why I like him. He just knows how the games supposed to be played.

Beautiful free-kick as well, Dortmund haven't been convincing though. Too much balls punted to Lewandowski at times and he's having difficulties today. Although he did just make it 2-1 through a penalty.

Any info on how he goal was or are you just acting livescore?

What a fucking goal by PEA. What a freekick. Top top quality.

Named him couple weeks back in the World Cup thread, think he might become a very good left-back if he keeps developing.

Diego and Casillas share the 99th place

Like Mole said he's average, nothing special and I don't think he is competent enough to start for a top side in any league. If anything between him and Bartra, Bartra has been the one improving every game.

I don't see the funny part Ronaldo and the other stranger is pointing towards. PSG have two of the best strikers in the world and the best central defender in the world, add that to two fullbacks playing their best football for a long while and a grafter in Lavezzi + three very good midfielder. Add the ability to have Lucas and Marquinhos on the bench as well as Rabiot who is getting better and better for every game. I guess we will see, I think they're a better team, but until they play each other you won't really know.

First one down.

I don't see how it be ridiculous to suggest that a team with two of the best strikers in the world and the best central defender in the world have a slight chance of winning the title with a bit of luck. As for Chelsea, I have them behind Arsenal and City, don't think they'll go far at all, think we might see them losing in the next round already if they get a decent team in front of them. Losing to Basel twice and dropping points in the league just won't cut it.

I'd say they're stronger than any team from England tbf. Zlatan is in great form and so is Cavani, their defense is settled and they have a decent midfield with Motta - Matuidi - Verratti. I don't think they'll win, but with a bit of a lucky draw in the latter rounds and I don't see why not. Give over, man. Which one of the points are you debating? They're not better than the English teams? Why even discuss with you when you clearly don't watch any teams outside of this league and the one below...

Rubin, Lazio, Anzhi and PAOK + NFL Green Bay + 9.5. £6.5 returns £100

Legend. I shall my wear Botafogo #6 shirt tomorrow in respect. Brazilian fans I'm led to believe are fickle as f*** at the best of the times, pricing out the majority is only exacerbating the problem. Still gentrification will always win in modern football. Weirdly the Portuguesa stadium is the only ground I saw in SP, right near the bus station. We are extremely fickle but I think that goes for anyone in any sport. The biggest problem is, the poor don't have enough money to go to every game and the rich already have all the games on the TV so they're too lazy and don't want to risk it by going all the way to a stadium to watch the games unless they have VIP section tickets. There's a lot of factors but money is definitely the main culprit. Flamengo were told to reduce tickets prices to R$250 as the cheapest for their final game against Atletico PR last night in the Copa do Brasil. That's rougly £70 for the cheapest ticket, not everyone can pay that price. The most sold tickets went for R$75 but that was only available to members who pay half the price or something. Flamengo won btw, and will be playing the Copa Libertadores.
