"How much you got on Man Utd?" "Fucking loads."

Mata anytime was naturally the only one I didn't put money on.

Literally as I said that...

Thrilling day of football.

Scrappy 0-0 on the way.

I'm on all of the below. Just thought I'd ensure a good Newcastle performance. Man Utd Man Utd -1 Man Utd over 1.5 goals Man Utd over 2.5 goals

Right. When we having the next one? End of season extravaganza?

Man Utd -1 @ 13/5 with Betvictor.

As far as I can see, it once again highlights how biased/corrupt/incompetent/wilfully blind the FA is if they don't enforce a points deduction. Protect the top league because that's where the money is. Shit on the rest.

Ouch. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26852466

Fair play to Man Utd tonight. Played for their fans, played for their manager, mind you have to ask why they've failed to show such resilience in other 'big' games this year. Fair play also to Rooney for a blatant act of cheating to ensure Schweinsteiger was sent off, which was comically defended by various ITV 'analysts' and will no doubt be swept under the carpet in this country because it's Wazza Rooney getting that nasty German sent off. Not that it'll make a massive difference next week, but at least from a neutral's perspective Man Utd did enough to suggest it won't be an entirely foregone conclusion.

For some reason I've played out in my head a scenario where the start of Football Focus is Lawro trying his hand at live stand-up, and making several jokes about 'Alan Anson' to, at best, a mixed response. Neil for BBC Controller.

That'd be a new look for Moyes.

Live from the Anson. The scenes.

Was thinking that. Could well just be from general Wallsend which has scope for much hilarity.

Football Focus this Saturday is live from Wallsend Boys Club.

It's so obvious what he's doing. Consciously acting like a bellend to take away the attention from his players and what a pathetic performance it was. When it works it's amazing management. When it doesn't, he's still a bellend.

They drew 2-2 last at home last night you'll be pleased to know. If only they were high scoring like high flying Estudiantes (3rd, 7 goals in 10 games) or top of the league Colon (9 goals in 10 games) If I didn't know better, I'd say you were making a point about the general lack of goals in Argentinian football despite the technical ability on show.

Noticed a stat when watching the Superclasico earlier. Tigre, 2nd bottom, have been treating fans this year. In 4 home games, there has been a total of.... zero goals. This amuses me a lot more than it should. Anyway, I'm fully supporting Tigre in their quest for goals. Also on the theme of random worldwide football, I notice Bradley Wright Phillips is tearing it up in New York. I say tearing it up, I mean abjectly failing, but still.

Superclasico just kicked off as Disco mentioned earlier. Fucking love Larry David.

About to put a bet on Nacional to score 1st vs Porto. Bet's loading as they score. Today is not my day.

Villarreal to score in the 2nd half is 1/2, yet them to score before 80:00 is evens. I get there'll be increased pressure in the last 10 minutes if they're needing a goal but I don't think there should be quite such a disparity in the odds. So, what I'm saying is I'm setting up a Villarreal winner in the last 10 minutes.

Even in the height of my betting form 2-3 years back, I'm not sure I held as much cursing power as the mere act of posting a bet in this place does.
