  1. Getafe have now failed to score against Atleti for 18 games in a row, spanning 9 years. Remarkable.
  2. A tad harsh that at the same time. Since we lost to Arsenal two months ago we've went unbeaten and picked up 23 points from 27 available. Played 9, won 7 and scored 22 goals. We have started some games poorly but have come into them and blew the opposition away with fantastic attacking play. I think people have been spoiled because of just how good Liverpool and City have been the last couple of years. Liverpool are sitting top of the table after 15 games having won 9, drawn 5 and losing only once. That's not poor at all IMO. Not specifically talking about yous. We've been shite for a lot of games this season and are 3pts off top. just think it's been a poor standard generally this season, perhaps understandably.
  3. Don't have any other stats to provide more context but thought it was interesting that was the latest winning goal for Man Utd at Old Trafford for 11 years. Maybe don't score as many late goals as made out. Generally speaking this just again demonstrates what a poor league it is so far. Can play shite for large parts of a lot of games and be a couple of points off top.
  4. Dallas @ 11/2 Tierney @ 13/2 Double @ 47/1
  5. Agree with this. It's a consequence of having such an open league this year (i.e. fairly poor quality). 1 or 2 good results and you go up 7 or 8 positions, and likewise for losses which leads to sensationalist tripe like that from Sutton. As for Lampard/Chelsea I think they have the potential to be really, really good. Most of that hinges on whether Havertz and Werner improve though. They've had their 3-4 month 'settling in' period, they need to start performing ASAP. I certainly don't think Lampard is doing a terrible job by any means currently.
  6. Over 1 card for Stoke and Birmingham 3.5/1, both teams like a card and they are refereed tomorrow by card happy officials. Which bookies mate? Seems good that.
  7. Post it now. If others agree with you, the price will have gone by tomorrow.
  8. The only general 'rule' I'd say is if you've not posted a bet, don't post afterwards to say you've won. Exception being if you've won a particularly crazy bet, fair enough. That's not aimed at you gdm in particular, I'd say it's a fair enough thing for everyone to stick to. People naturally will have some losing bets so of course it's frustrating if someone pops up afterwards to say "oh I won this and that." That's also not to say what you do and don't post beforehand. Post everything, post less, post nothing. Just be conscious piping up you've won something after the event is inevitably going to wind some people up. Again, that's me speaking generally. As for amount of bets, it's completely up to the individual. £1 stake to one person might be £20 to someone else. £10 might be £50 to someone else. It's all relative to the person to budget accordingly and only bet what they can afford to lose. The details of that are, as you say gdm, no-one's business.
  9. This is fucking outrageous. when your luck is out
  10. Very frustrating. Wolves starting to pick up cards but wrong players.
  11. Going to copy that double with 50p on, Adama's been picking up a few recently, stupid price. Tracking Reguilon too who loves getting forward.
  12. Adama 10/1 Moutinho 11/2 Double 70/1
  13. Odd game that. Absolutely shite yet 2-2.
  14. Had a really good few months but last week or so has been shocking. Funny old game. Sticking to the same sort of bets though which have previously gone so well. Sawyers card 5/1 (Sky) Jones card 8/1 (PP) Double 70/1 (PP)
  15. Thats one of those which in hindsight looks a ridiculous price. Fingers crossed for you.
  16. I'm probably more exaggerated in my distaste of him than most of our fans. But I dunno, he's one of those players who isn't particularly good at anything. If he had especially good technical ability and kept it simple in that sense I'd be fine with it, but he doesn't. Think he gets by on "working hard" and "keeping things ticking over". I got told in Year 9 I was really good at keeping things ticking over and I knew at that point my football career was over. Genuinely think he only looked good tonight due to playing one of the worst PL teams in history. We've got about 25 of them. I once thought Li Tie looked promising so tbf my opinion on everything is utterly worthless. I remember him quote fondly, although the recollection is blurry. Kante-esque man, ruined by injuries We can all agree he was no Alex Nyarko.
  17. Shearer seemed to do a half-arsed "no fan wants the club to just merely exist..." then didn't follow up on it. Danny Murphy looks like an angry egg so I don't listen to his opinion.
  18. Looks like Pep is trying to Lahm him a bit too. Few managers/coaches better at gradually moulding players into different positions than Pep too.
  19. Was going to mention before Shearer started wanking over him but Joao Cancelo does look a cracking player.
