The rules don't matter for the good teams, man.

That pass was offensively bad from Arshavin.

That's it Arsene, bring on someone who'll contrive to play worse.

In case of attacking danger, give it to Walcott.

Wow, very close. Lush finish like.

3-1 suits us both.

think it goes to show that the teams immediately below us look crap. dropping any lower than 7th should be classed as failure now. Only Stoke are currently looking like overtaking you at the moment. Which says just as much about the rest of the league's current quality as it does about Stoke's good form. tbh finishing 7th this season on account of everyone else being rubbish would do me just fine, we've proved we can play a bit. if obertan's still starting next season and playing like this though, hell fire. "This is great stuff, 7th last season, opening day of the 2012/13 season, let's push for top 6 this season and then...... Wait. Just. A minute. Is that.... is that... Gabriel.... Gabriel Obertan?"

Done a couple of lay bets to ensure a profit, which will probably be lost later on.

Promising. Was until you said it. I'll bet on all other scores to ensure Nut wins.

Surely put a couple of other scores on?

Promising.

Well, surprised my bet is still alive. Juve 2-0 and Inter 1-0, but surprised Liverpool didn't score again. Howay Man City/Arsenal, disregard your defences.

Dunne's defending.

Ole-ing passes from the Villa fans, they have a sense of humour I'll give them that.

The crowd cheering Heskey's skill.

This bet's going to be over in record time. Rarely do "under" bets but I thought this game shouted a lack of goals. Shows what I know.

Villa-Liverpool under 2.5 not looking good already, Liverpool could win big here if they go for it.

Fucking kick it and stuff.

I was starting to get worried about David. Not sure he's had 3 bets in a row he hasn't won, so I'm thankful Man Utd did the business for him. Got Juve -1, Inter DNB, Villa-L'pool under 2.5 goals, and MC-Arsenal both teams to score.

Souness seemingly thinking Liverpool are the same as Man Utd. I'll have what he's drinking.

Love this "work in progress" mystique that Dogleash is insistent on maintaining. Aye, not like you've spent a fuckload of money or anything, and pretend you shouldn't be challenging strongly for the top 4 this season.

I'm expecting some quality creative play from Heskey here.

Bent and Agbonlahor out - Liverpool win here.
