Messi beat me to it by seconds. I have heard though that he's hard to Marco.

Careful. You'll get more blood on your breakfast cereal of choice.

Feck orf. I've won 2 out of my last 3 bets - this constitutes a roll for me. I'd copy Beren's bets, but I can't afford to stick £100 on something like that.

Because I bet on them to score 4.

I refused to bet on Porto to win out of principle - 1/4 was an offensively bad price.

Not exactly - more that they've done brilliantly on a tight budget to have progressed so much in a short period of time and play an exciting brand of football. Hardly expecting them to take the CL by storm or romp to another Bundesliga success.

IT'S ON! Fucking score goals and shit!

Try 3 more needed from Barca, 1 for Milan and 1 for Porto.

3 in a row was too much to ask for really.

Barca over 3.5 goals Porto over 1.5 Milan over 1.5

1/9 for a Chelsea team without Terry, and Mata and Sturridge on the bench.

They're representative of 90% of pundits in this country. Absolutely and utterly clueless and not an ounce of research beyond looking at a couple of recent results.

As I say, think some of the odds tonight are absolutely abysmal. Yes, on paper you'd expect Chelsea, Milan, Porto to all win their games but the bookies are being right Scrooges.

The, er, last League Cup match you had.

Do I report them to the Magedia?

You've got to have a fair pile on that to get a decent sort of profit?

0-1. R. Taylor (og)

The odds tomorrow are so shit. 1/25 Barca, 1/9 Chelsea, 1/6 Milan, 1/3 Porto. All wank.

Made £23 profit on Man Utd -1 (lucky that, like - Man Utd were fucking rubbish for the most part) and Man City (last kick of the game) double.

Seen loads of positive articles about your team and how you're doing.

One of the OG defenders: "I hope we don't make a laughing stock of ourselves."

Betting thread on Page 2, what's going on? Man Utd -1 I guess is the main bet tonight. Strong squad (Rooney set to start), know they could really do with a win, Galati seem shite (12 points from 10 games in their season so far) and if the 'i' is anything to go by, they haven't even sold that many tickets for it. Should be a very comfortable night for Man Utd. 0-0 it is then.

Hey, Sewelly. Fuck you.

What the fucking hell is this crock of shit?
