True, but we're also without a few others tonight. Most crucially, Lennon, so we have almost no width in midfield/up front. Next season I expect us to have Townsend in the squad, and to pick up another forward capable of playing wide. I remember the game at our place as well without Bale. Would have been fuming if we'd lost that, thought you were there for the taking. I dunno about Lennon. He looks pretty sound one game, causing a lot of problems, then ineffectual the next.

Got Benfica at 10/1 for the Waffa Cup before their first leg. Not a bet I expect to come off but Chelsea were horribly short value and I didn't fancy either Zenit or Anzhi whatsoever. 10/1 for a quality side like Benfica seemed big. I realise they'll probably go out tonight now I've said this. Tbh, they weren't impressive at all in the 1st leg. Also: Cisse to score in a Newcastle win is 5/1 with Will Hill. --------------- On an unrelated note, Paddy Power are paying 5 places on the County Hurdle if anyone's interested.

No surprises, but Spurs really are massively reliant on Bale. Great to have such a great player in your side but not being able to play well without him is going to cost them longer-term. If he stays, anyway.

Basel through. Herb they do well.

Adebayor. :lol: What an absolute donkey.

Ref is spot on here, tbf. Not having any of Spurs' shit antics.

Zanetti. Still outrunning players 10, 15 years younger than him.

Boom boom.

And a Llandudno to you too.

Fucking Spurs, not playing a suspended player.

Thoughts on Dynaste tomorrow?

It's hard not to be frustrated watching Arsenal play. Such a disappointing team.

And? Who are they? I hate it when the BBC does this. It's really irritating, they always do this. They clearly know the teams, just put the bloody teams up instead of giving us some nondescript "headline".

I reckon they'll have lengthened the odds in a reaction to Ribery and Schweinsteiger being out. Think they've made a mistake, though. We already knew those 2 were out. 10/1 is great value.

Nope, bet365.

Bayern to win 2-1 is 10/1. Great value IMO.

Paddy Power doing live bets on the next Pope.

Watched the Porto Malaga 1st leg. Malaga were awful and Porto really should have more than a 1 goal advantage. Porto themselves I can't see seriously troubling the top sides, but they should go through.

Quality wins Ash. Bookies must have taken a fair hit this week so far. Coral's site is currently down. Wouldn't like to be going through their figures this month. Sprinter Sacre at evens, man. Easiest £20 profit I've ever made, shame they weren't more stupid and allowed bigger stakes.

25/1 for "impossible" strikes me as somewhat shit value.

While Bayern will definitely qualify and will probably win tonight, Walcott anytime 4/1 (FGS 12/1) seems decent value to me. Sure as hell prefer backing that than Mandzukic anytime at an absolutely horrendous 2/5 with Paddy.

Definitely nothing to do with your disdain towards Bayern, I assume?

No particularly strong fancies for tomorrow's racing. So, bit of fun with a small stakes patent (E/W) of Taquin Du Seuil, Godsmejudge and Houblon Des Obeaux.

Very good day rounded off by a little win on Gala to win with a few minutes plus injury time left @ 12/1. That 50 grand win is real, right? If so, fuck me.

Brilliant.
