Wow.

Welbeck has played a big part so far with his marking of Alonso. Whether he can keep it up will be vital as to whether Real will dominate.

Great finish Ramos.

In play bet on the draw.

"oh no di maria is red inj kaka hi"

Varane is going to be the best defender in the world in a few years.

Dortmund 1-0.

Blimey.

Real Madrid comfortably the better team thus far.

Nope, which is the beauty of it. What you've said is exactly what I'm doing though, so you've been warned. All aboard the 0-0.

I'm more surprised that Rooney is benched, rather than it making me think Real will definitely win. That team is still easily good enough to win, let alone the strong bench.

Well Fergie has screwed up your bets!

Wow.

Got a free bet as well from Skybet. I like the timing. If you're looking for "value" bets, a few that look decent enough: Ronaldo to score a header @ 10/1 2-2 @ 12/1 Ronaldo to score from outside the area @ 6/1

Couldn't emphasise this enough. Take advantage, people.

Thing is, been saying for a while QPR were never really completely cut adrift. They're still much more likely to go down than they are to stay up, but the win vs Southampton hammers home the point about them still being in contention. I think it'll be very close, and ultimately I wouldn't be shocked if they do somehow stay up. 4 points can easily be made up, even if you're shit and indeed have performed like shit for the first 27, 28 games.

I see your preparation for the Reds/Blues game is going as well as mine.

Yup. If we get something half as good as the 4-3, I'll be happy. Really hope this doesn't disappoint. Neither team will be interested in defending, surely there'll be plenty of goals? I would of thought both teams will be overly occupied with defending. Can see it being quite cagey. At home in this game, I really can't see Man Utd actively thinking the best way to get through is to keep a clean sheet. Real obviously need a goal - I can perhaps see them being a bit cagey if they go 1-0 up. But then again that would bring Man Utd out. There's the danger of having inflated expectations about this game but although I don't think we'll get another 4-3 for example, I'd be surprised if we don't see a few goals and some class play.

The astronauts were great. The general absurdity of the situation with a fairly crap sign greatly amused me.

Certainly clubs I dislike more than Spurs. I honestly think they're a couple of quality players away from a title challenge, and that's no bad thing really. Whether they'll have the funds to do so, and/or the general ability to attract the required level of player is a different matter, but I really don't think they're a million miles away.

... 3-3

Real Sociedad from 0-2 to 3-2 vs Betis within 10 minutes.

bet365 doing the in-play offer again on Man Utd v Real.
