Couple of boring musings for consideration: Mane seems long to score in 90 mins at 9/4. 365 doing a "super boost" on Salah, 3/1. Hawkins card for Mansfield later looks comfortably too long on 365 and PP at 15/2 and 7/1. Most carded player in the game, averaged just less than 1 in 3 this season and played plenty, seems to be a weird utility player who can go CB or striker. Also potential scum bet tomorrow. Insigne's last home game vs lowly Genoa. He's 9/1 for a booking, 22/1 for that famous scummy goal/card double. (Napoli stuck 6 past a better team in Sassuolo last home game).

I think Vieira's definitely done a good job, I thought he'd struggle. But pepple are exaggerating how much he has done, youd think they were going to challenge top 6 the way people are going on. To be honest I think it's a fairly weak selection this year, or should I say I can't really see a clear winner. No one really has outstanding claims to be honest. IMO, anyway.

Same. Every single decision contrives to go spectacularly wrong.

Sense the ref is having a night off.

Yeah quality research Wullie, worth a tickle on a few of them. Even if they lose they're good value, don't mind losing* bets like that as long term you're going to land a few and be well up at those sort of prices. *this will change if the ref fails to give a nailed on card which would have won one of them.

Doesn't seem to score many but Dewsbury Hall playing more advanced today, it appears. Looks like he's in the number 10 role. 10/1 PP, 9/1 Sky for anytime. Surely way too big, at home to us with our away record?

Absolutely vintage.

Davies does same thing Fabinhos done several times. Immediately booked. Haven't even got a bet on Fabinho, it's just incredibly frustrating to watch.

Spurs defended as well as can be expected tbf. So they'll concede next 5 mins.

Honestly, sounds much better than BT's.

The usual nonsense performance from Oliver to let anything go early just because it's early. He'll end up booking some randomers like Son and FLETCH! in the 2nd half.

Heresy. Martin Tyler will haunt you.

I take it back. This outdoes even us.

Know I've said it before but to me it's worth repeating. Man Utd are simply us most of the season, with better players. Such a lack of any desire or professionalism, passive beyond belief.

I will do mate. Probably about zero pounds, but your logic once again is extraordinarily flawed.

That is such a misunderstanding of how odds work that I can't rationalise a response, but we'll leave it there.

I'm very aware they're almost certainly not. But it's not "1 time in 250" unlikely, therefore is a good bet.

Yeah, if you were to go for a mad one, it's Southampton. They legitimately may not get another point. Huge amount of things need to happen, yes, but all 3 teams below them are either showing momentum or have shown ability to pick up points. There are plenty crazier 250/1 shots out there.

Feels like that was a sliding doors moment for them and they've missed the opportunity to kick on.

And good thing too. About time we were cunts to play against as opposed to pathetic pushovers. We're still shite mind and got a lot of work to do stay up, could all be for nought.

But, do your research.

I really like him. Genuine all round player.

Yeah, if he makes loads of appearances, wins cups, cures world hunger and gets today's Wordle in one we end up eventually paying top whack. Unfortunately very little of it is likely.

Weve already bought him, for nothing. Gradually pay more based on appearances, achievements etc. I'm not sure there will be too many of either..... It's grossly misreported, that deal. It's actually one of the few times we haven't chucked loads of money up front at total mediocrity.

Probably true. Chelsea at home looks more winnable than it did a few weeks ago mind, or at least get something from it. We'll probably win that and lose to Brentford and Palace.
