Must say, confused as to why so many people have backed Arsenal, particularly at such awful value (4/7 in my local Coral shop). A few injuries, not great away from home in Europe recently, against a Liege side with an impressive home record (I thought so, anyway), and unbeaten in the league so far. Easy to say that at the moment but 4/7, or 1/2, they're fucking abysmal odds imo.

Stuttgart 1-0. Poyreybenyeniak.

2-0 Liege!!!

1-0 Liege, and now a pen to Liege!!!

Blimey. Living the high (student) life! Loan hasn't even come through yet, that's how rich I am Aye. Mine comes through on Monday, I'll end up blowing my first week's food on some bizarre bet. Argh!

50p on: Lyon draw Kiev draw Cardiff AZ returns £50. And £5 on Liverpool (-1) Sevilla (-1) Stuttgart. Something like £18-£19 at a guess.

It's safe to say in terms of winning, Holloway won't be fussed about getting a stunning lady, but as long as he gets the bird into the taxi, he'll see it as a job done.

as are atletico madrid. My go. Juventus.

I love Phil K. Whenever I feel angry and argumentative, I realise someone else is angrier and feeling more argumentative than me. This settles me.

Writing's on the wall for CSKA.

Juve, get your arses into gear.

... but the best player in the world No. Afraid so. Nope, not imo. He is of course fantastic, but he isn't the best.

Kiss of un-death! 0-1 Real, 0-1 Milan

Doesn't look like anyone in the CL is intending on doing anything.

NOFC MANAGER IN OUTRAGEOUS OUTBURST The head of the fledgling Newcastle-Online football team has delivered an ASTONISHING attack on the infant population, by endorsing Golden Glory's SCATHING assessment that Watford "will rape you, like I could do to a baby with a stick". Pilko defended his actions, saying, "Look, I've had a tough day. I didn't mean to agree with GG but when you wonder who out of Wullie or Nixon is best to play around in the hole, your mind plays tricks on you." Fellow team members have remained TIGHT-LIPPED. More as we GET it.

£2 on Juve, Real, Bayern, Man Utd and Chelsea. £1 on Milan draw, Leicester and WBA. Fairly conservative on this occasion. Will be somewhat more rash for Wednesday CL games/Europa League like.

Is Warnock a top ITK or something? I didn't know he was a SPurs fan. And so, the picture unravels.

I still don't know why Jose Baxter hasn't been loaned to someone. Exciting young talent, high hopes surrounding him and unlikely to get that many appearances for the first team at Goodison. Surely worth a punt?

5 English players? That is utterly nothing. Most clubs will change not one bit.

I shouldn't complain after winning 65 yesterday, but, I was for some reason positive it would end 2-1 MK Dons tonight, but didn't put a bet on. Ah well!

It's only Phil Neville, mate. His quality isn't much but imo he's absolutely vital for us, at least for the foreseeable future. Yakubu quite a way from match fitness, Jagielka late November, and Arteta this week has been ruled out for another 6 weeks. Pretty damn annoying. Yet, call it arrogance, but I still think we'll finish top 7. Chris:

Fuck's sake. ANOTHER long-term injury to a key player.

Is it just me who finds it easier to bet on the Italian and German leagues? Of course anything can happen but as a rule of thumb, I've found these leagues to be generally more 'predictable', overall.
