The odds on favourite, really sticking your head out there.

There's a split decision... Hoof It.....or.....The Cheka.... I don't want to sway your decision but Hoof It will win. But The Cheka is worth a cheeky E/W punt alongside Valery Borzov at 20/1 at the 2:00. 20? 28/1 on BetVictor. Is it worth a couple quid EW?

Ah. Hmm... might be a bit of a loose cannon and put a double on Hoof it/Hoofalong.

I've broken off into my own stable and taken Menomena and Stu with me to Cheka. Do it. In English...

So who's N-O's horsey representative of the day, Hoof It?

Has no one questioned what James Milner has done to deserve his place?

What a fantastic tip. I got 5/2 on betfair for Adelaide. Top bombing. Have we missed the boat on this one?

Also, to top off an atrocious days betting yesterday, after signing up to that Euro Fantasy League on Sky I had £3 in my account, thought I'd chuck it on a random odds-on to try and get the £2 entrance fee back. Went for NY Yankees, the cunts lost. Honestly, I reckon if I'd put a bet on the sky being blue yesterday I'd have somehow lost.

So, where am I blindly placing money I don't really have today?

There's an exception to every rule.

Looks like Joe Cole is in.

Aye, as a collective we probably lost hundreds of billions today. It's a dark day in N-O's history.

Right, I'm in.

Eh, Fulham were in the Europa league last season? Thought the last time they were in it was under Roy.

I must've missed this bit like.

Is Malcolm the bloke who runs the Europa League, the one who was on holiday a couple weeks back?

Where the fuck's Hatem? I'm out.

Chelsea. Spurs have already got a job on their hands trying to find an Adebayor replacement, no CL will obviously make that harder and also probably see Bale and/or Modric on the way out.

Hmm, midfield is a problem. Piled the defence full of geet hard Russians and Croatians, stuck the big-guns up front, now need to find Yo a +2 in the middle. I believe my thorough and logical selection process will bring me the gold.

Fuck it, I'm in. How much is Gotze likely to feature, I'm guessing not a lot due to the fact he's only £4.9m?

I wish I had.

Maybe Hodgson's sat up and took notice to Shola's 20 minute cameos this season. Howay Roy, get him on the plane.

Wow. Not taking Richards is ridiculous, would be silly even if Walker was fit.

Was always going to be another goal. In hindsight, I should've stuck a fiver on MK Dons once it hit 4s which would've my original £20 stake back. All in all, been a bad day. Thankfully a couple tips from last week more than cover the losses.
