We don't know whether the charge includes the red card though. So it could either be 7 or 10. It doesn't. This is going to be a massive ban. 4 for the red yesterday, which should make it 5 for the next violent conduct charge and then (at least) 6 for the next one. Plus anything else they choose to add on.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is there a limit of £50 on this? Aye, just checked. Cheers. Just wanted to make Dinho aware of this before he puts hundreds on. I'm banned from using BetVictor so it's useless to me anyway!

Cut to 8/1 now, looks like a few have been getting on. Crazy price. Best price of 3/1 now. Howay Scholesy!

It is really annoying, especially when a price changes that drastically too. Just be glad it won anyway, rather than having this discussion over a loser.

How's it work? Assuming that because it was supposed to return £100 it should've originally been 6/4, and the odds were generally shortening everywhere, so how's it jumped up to 10/3? I assume the horse just drifted before the off. With guaranteed odds or best price as some call it, say you back a horse at 2/1 but it goes off at 5/1, you'd get paid out at 5/1 because it's better than what you backed it at. Seems like a big jump, do they guarantee that they'll have the best price anywhere before they go off or something? Strange considering the odds had come down from about 5/1 to evens for it to then drift back to higher than 3/1. Also, you can fuck off with your 'Rule #1', it was you who suggested SportingBet! They were the best price at the time! Plus I didn't know they didn't do guaranteed odds. I'd personally never back a horse on there unless it was right before the off, always go with guaranteed odds. Don't often see a big price discrepancy like that with a horse that's so short though. The majority of bookies do guaranteed odds now. I looked at the market for this horse earlier, it was very strange. It opened at 4s this morning then was the most backed horse of the day with the biggest percentage shift taking it into 5/4, then it seems absolutely nobody wanted anything to do with it before the off and it's drifted like a barge, going off nearer the price it opened at than its shortest price. Very odd. Probably the Irish fiddling again.

Rule #1 of horse racing betting: Always use a bookie that offers guaranteed odds.

Not sure about that, he's been pretty much ever present under Pardew. That's more by default than anything. I'm 100% certain we'll sign a right back during this coming window, whether Simpson stays or not.

Was a great listen that - loved his honesty and humour. Think some people are reading too much into his comments about Simpson though. Although he opened up on a lot of subjects, I get the impression that Simpson isn't rated within the club and Pardew's hardly going to come out and say he's shite, regardless of what he actually thinks.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me.

What a fucking dickhead this guy is.

Rather than all of that shite, he should have just asked why do we use the same wank routine from every single free-kick.

When I scrolled down on Neil's post then, I fully expected that to say "fuck off". http://i50.tinypic.com/2i92d8w.png

Nope.

Just got a free £100 bet from BetFred.

Where did you hear this? Fergie can fuck off. My mate who's a Man Utd fan - has some good contacts. He thinks Scholes will end up going should Hodgson tell him what he wants to hear and although it isn't what he wants, Fergie accepts he'll probably want to go too knowing it's his last chance for England.

Hodgson has apparently been begging Scholes to go. Scholes has asked for assurances on the shape of the team and what role he'd be deployed in. Ferguson doesn't want Scholes to go.

Kind of in the same boat as Rich. I think he's a decent player but just think we can do better. If we go with the 4-2-3-1 next season, I'd want someone better to be filling in should Cabaye be out.

I was thinking more for depth tbh, taking Guthrie or Goslings place.... Still wouldn't be thrilled with him. Don't think he'd be an upgrade on Guthrie.

We can do a lot better than Diame. We should certainly be aiming a lot higher too.

Priced at 5/4, I'd fully expect it to win easily anyway, with or without a tip. Odds plummeted. Just had a look, priced up mainly at EVS. Can still get 15/8 on SportingBet though.
