Conisdering they have had more money to spend than most clubs in the league, can the season so far be called a failure for them? IIRC, a £30m-ish net spend last summer. Poor.

I may well be living in 2009 still but re: Sevilla - no Fabiano? Renato? Adriano?

Any team news, VI?

Not entirely sure why but I strongly fancy Bolton to score first tomorow but Arsenal to win.

Best day of football I've enjoyed in quite some time. Surely even Liverpool supporters are now in disbelief at the length Benitez will go to express his pathetic petulance?

Tom, please don't tell me you were stupid enough to back City?

And again, 2 bar hits in 5 minutes.

So close to a 3rd.

Got good odds on that? 3-2 works for me. Won a small amount earlier so fancied sticking a quid on it. 28/1.

VI - do me a favour and win 3-2 tonight.

Fucking hell ref, play the advantage.

Hour mark and SWP is on for Robinho, I expect the former to do twice as much in 30 minutes as the latter did in 60.

It'll just get taken out of your accumulator, thus creating a 4-fold.

That 2nd goal could prove pivotal. We had much the better of the games vs Brum, Sunderland and Arsenal recently, but drew all 3.

Early days yet but he is giving every indication he can more than cut it in this league. Hope he keeps it up, LA Galaxy wouldn't consider a permanent move, would they?

GOAL! 2-0! GET IN!

PENALTY!

HT couldn't come soon enough for City. We've been in this position all too often recently, had much the better of the game (granted, good start by them today) but not gone on to win.

£5 returned £17 plus the stake off Swindon, Huddersfield and Chesterfield. Nope, didn't post beforehand, but you can have a look at my procession of previously losing bets for your own amusement. Stuck a daft quid on Barca to win 3-2 tonight @ 28/1.

GET IN!!!

Last time I bet against Gillingham away, they decided to get their 2nd point in 11 away games. Dare I risk it again today? Swindon have usually been canny for me.

Please do. Don't leave me here on my own.

According to Overlord Gray, you can count the mistakes he's made in his career on 2 hands.

Because their long-suffering fans are really knowledgeable about football. Remember, there is officially nothing better than a European night in front of the Kop.

Any eagle-eared viewers hear Willie Thorne in the snooker? Williams had a difficult job of getting to the red on the cushion, and back down to the black - apparently the bookies gave temporary odds of 100/1 for him to do it. He duly did. This is why I ought to get an online betting account so I can bet in play...
