That would be class. I particularly like the socks. It's like a Storm Trooper gone politically correct with some black colour

Only reason would probably be because I've backed them too. Poor Valencia, you've jinxed them good now!

Tempted to go large on Valencia tonight. They're 8/15 to win at home against Getafe. The visitors have only won three away from home and their leading goal scorer Soldado (scored 12 of 30) is missing the game. Anyone here who would recommend me not to?

So over the two league games the score is Spurs - Wigan 12-1. Surely that must be a Premier League record?

Isn't this that time of the year when Villa goes from a good, solid side to a abysmal, "holy shit, they should be relegated" side? That said, I've got £20 on Villa to win...

Had Drogba as first scorer. 50p at 4-1! Barman, pints for everyone!

Yeah, what is it now again? No home domestic loss since the Porto days?

We all believe in the hype that we created on here, and with a name like Nile Ranger you cannot go wrong

FYP PS. I don't believe it would either

Maybe that's what Bolton and Wigan tried to achieve the other day but failed doing so

I miss Lovelypants already

If Berba wasn't a professional footballer he would be a mob leader, no doubt about it.

How much truth is it in this story though? I mean, it's from the Sun and what is their track record of getting things right?

Had a tenner on Bayern and us and £3 on Bayern, us and Notts but the latter was simply a waste of money..

Thank fuck for that Bayern! 2-1 Olic

Fiorentina is down to 10 men now.. Need Munich to win for my accumulator so come on Bayern! Quite interesting though how Fiorentina is only so-so in the domestic league but shines in CL

Seems to have been quite a strike as well, what a way to open your scoring account! Come on lads, get other quick!

Absolute shambles tonight, hopefully tomorrows won't be as bad. Have the same bet for tomorrow as you. Had Forest and Leeds for tonight but that didn't really work out as expected..

Hate to say this but I need a goal from Spurs and one from Inter in my eight game thingy... Come on, two lousy goals, that's all!

have you looked at those pics man.....not one but two bridges. little known fact....the tyne bridge was copied off the sydney bridge even though it was built first. Yeah, I knew that, but I only found out recently. I'd thought the Tyne Bridge had been built as a prototype for the design. I said that once to some Australians in Birtley services who were looking at postcards of Newcastle and saying "Hey, it's just like our bridge back home." This woman turned and looked at me rather scornfully and said: "Ours is bigger and better!" Another little fact, the contractors for the design and construction of the main structure for SHB was a firm from Middlesbrough...

In 1996. A new family moved in next door and they supported Newcastle and had a kid a around my age so the more time I spent hanging out with them the more hooked I got.. Bought my first shirt in 1997, saw my first game at SJP in 1999 vs Everton with Shearer missing a pen (and scoring one)...

GK-Hart LB-Evra CB-Upson CB-Dunne RB-Hughes LM-N'Zogbia CM-Fellaini CM-Fabregas RM-Lennon ST-Drogba ST-Torres

I wouldn't hold out too much hope on collecting on that scorecast... Isn't that what it's called when you bet on final score and last scorer?

For the first time in ages I finally won, no large sums but had £4 on City, WBA and Cardiff at 2.85/1 and £1 on Adebayor/2-0 scorecast at 17/1.

This. Could a injury to Bent be a blessing in disguise, I wonder? I mean, if he doesn't play other players will need to try harder because they seem to rely a bit too much on him and his goals. It's a bit like C.Ronaldo at Real. Whenever he doesn't play Real is a more playing side collectively because their saviour isn't around to bail them out.
