paddypower ‏@paddypower #PRICEGASM Iniesta OR Pirlo to win the UEFA MOTM in the #Euro2012 Final 9/4!! Max bet £20! When it's gone, it's gone!

I meant win the whole thing.

No IT'S not.

Just remembered, I get £30 back if Spain win tonight, I fancy Italy though so I'll be sticking that much on them, so it'll essentially be a free bet.

Tonight? I think I'll have a tenner on both 0-0 and Italy to win on pens. Hopefully end a torrid tournament on a high note.

I think he just has to stay at Twente until August to gain Dutch nationality. Could be wrong though. As for our pool of CBs, weren't we planning on trying to give Streete a bit more exposure this season in the way of training with the first team and possibly the odd cup game? Has something happened with him as I've seen people mentioning doing that with Good but no word of Streete, or did I just completely imagine this? He's only got a year left on his contract too, doesn't he? Or am I making that up. If so I wouldn't be surprised to see us bide our time until Jan.

It's not that bad like.

Doesn't Douglas need to stick around in Holland for a while longer to gain Dutch nationality? Maybe the plan's to stick with what we have until January before going back for him?

Ben Arfa in a midfield three.

Thread of the year.

No.

In the past decade Villa have never been out the top flight and played in Europe a few times. Meanwhile Sunderland twice set the record for the PL's lowest points total and have achieved a best place finish of 10th (I think).

The way I see it: 'Big' clubs - ManU, Arsenal, Liverpool Rich clubs - Man City, Chelsea Biggish clubs - Spurs, Us, Everton, Villa ...with the rest of the stable PL clubs being much of a muchness.

I wouldn't say it's sewn up just yet. If I had Mad Mario as captain yesterday it would've been, but I never even considered that. I did pick Gomez over Ozil though, which has cost me 5 points.

Worth it? No. Tempted to back him again at the Olympics with my freebet though.

I was so confident of a German win tonight that I was going to transfer him out if Muller had started.

0-0, Italy on pens. Heard it here first.

All those chances, be hilarious if Italy chuck it away.

Drama!

Unlucky. Standard procedure. Should have two.

Balotelli will be gutted he couldn't stay on, would've had the golden boot wrapped up by now.

Germany choking in the semis is becoming as predictable as England doing it at the quarters.

I might have been tempted to try my luck with Germany to qualify if I'd not already pissed away so much on this tournament.

Useless German bastards.

Wrong Mario as captain. Got four Germans and one transfer, which doesn't bode well for the final.
