You had me trailing through past posts there Enrique damn you. Predicted 2-2 apparently. Anyway, you'll definitely get beat 4-0 tomorrow.

Do I? I predicted Swansea to get something last weekend. Make of that accuracy what you will.

2-1.

Can't wait to have more money to play with, going to be sticking rigidly to less teams, and bigger stakes. But for the moment... £1 on Bristol City v Ipswich Peterborough v Swansea Gillingham v Carlisle Norwich v Oldham Swindon v Leyton Orient gives £26.12. and 50p on Blackpool v Barnsley draw Charlton v Southend Colchester v Bristol Rovers Exeter v Brighton draw MK Dons v Yeovil Rotherham v Burton gives £34.25. 1) I'll probably end up putting a couple of more combinations (without the draws) of those games to give me the maximum chance of winning 2) That said I'll contrive to get 1 wrong on each line probably.

Looking forward to this like. So go on, who are we going to get? My guess is: Serbia, Uruguay, Mexico.

Would like to see a Villa-City final, and probably Villa to win it. And then the period of bitterness kicks in that a team at a similar standing to us (ok, not literally right at the moment) has won a trophy and we haven't for 14 years.

Probably odds on to leave next summer.

Pulling my leg, surely?

Blackburn through!

Kalinic misses.

3-2.

Penalty to Blackburn.

Blackburn equalise, via a bit of a fluke.

Your luck's in, Chris.

Just when Chelsea look in trouble, they casually score 2 in 5 minutes.

What a fucking amazing result. Decimated by injuries, Baxter, Coleman and Duffy all playing, and we not only win in Athens but quite frankly they didn't look like scoring apart from a couple of dangerous moments. After the woe of the past few weeks, that's a brilliant relief. Also means we're through, and we can rotate (ha) against BATE.

And that's a hatrick of injuries. Truly shocked.

FUCK OFF REF! Trying to give them the best bloody opportunity to get back into the game.

This ref is a cunt, now booking Howard for not instantly taking the goal kick, ffs, hardly constant time-wasting.

Benfica go ahead, decent news I'd say.

Quite incredible really - Gosling and Distin injured within the first 16 minutes.

Fuck's sake, this could well not finish. Would sum up our luck atm.

Also, I'll wait until how the 2 games in the group are unfolding to blabber on about permutations. Suffice to say, avoid defeat and we're in a very strong position.

11/5 is a ludicrous price. But you have to wonder, there must be a reason they're not clear favourites?
