He reckoned his season has been "up and down". Haven't seen the former.

No bets today. Lying drunken in some hotel room.... Back tomorrow sometime... David is enjoying his winnings from last night. Any strippers about? Coke?

Do elaborate. In gdm style, while I also had 2-1 Schalke, I also had the draw at a pretty insane (imo) 5/1. Admittedly contradictory bets but there you go.

Schalke vs 10 man Plzen goes to extra time.

"haha lol wud b mint, see ya campbell you fucker lol"

A Jacks score.

Put some money on Schalke to win 2-1.

I'm betting on what David's betting on.

Isn't it a murder of magpies? Seriously. Also: Intrusion of cockroaches Mischief of mice Caravan of camels are some of my favourites.

How do you think I felt?

It was funny, actually, because at dinner I had a look and I noticed the entirety of central Newcastle had gone a distinct shade of green.

Calls up Theo Walcott but not Oxlade-Chamberlain is my issue. I like that he's got rid of the old cunts, but at least bring in some fun new players, not just man utd youth who've barely played. Theo Walcott is so disappointing it hurts. That's the best word to use, really. He SHOULD be so much better. But he isn't.

Calls up Frazier Campbell but not Oxlade-Chamberlain. Righto.

Oh dear Pulis. This is either a) a rather cynical analysis of the quality of his own players in that he's given up hope at just 1-0 down (albeit to an infinitely superior side to Stoke), or: b) he's completely deluded and seriously think his 2nd string can turn the deficit over. Your first team is brimmed full of footballing horror shows, Tony, let alone the 2nd string. Either way, a depressing decision. I'm sure those who've paid hundreds of pounds of their own money to go out there will be delighted to see how he's treating one of the biggest games in their modern history.

After the infamous 6-6, Motherwell and Hibernian retire to more calm surroundings, with a boring 4-3.

I get this image of a massive wad of 20 euro notes piled up on David's desk, but he's not bothered about that, he's just got a picture of Bastian Schweinsteiger on his laptop and he's pointing, laughing, cackling.

Deserved tbh. Inter blunted their own attack hoying the jap and obi on. Did you have Obi next goalscorer or something?

Well, that's funnier than it probably should be.

David ffs, do you have any idea how bitterly jealous I am of your betting exploits? Class win, how many hundred did you rinse the bookies for tonight?

General Bayern hatred, or do you think they actually will slip up? 0-0 against Freiburg was hardly the best preparation.

Been thinking all day about putting a decent wedge on Aguero FGS. Yes, you guessed it, didn't know it was a 5pm kick off. Mind, guess I didn't really deserve to win if I didn't think to check when it kicked off.

Haha, it's funny because it's true.

Great post.

Don't tell me you're referring to Wilkins' commentary in the Chelsea v Man City game as the worst? That was unintentionally class. I was thinking of our game v QPR. Well, my word, Cabaye should have just got up and got on with it.
