Risked it and put Lamela as captain. Hoping for Spurs to thump Pardews boys! My midfield is looking very good: Lamela, Coutinho, Martial, Hazard with Redmond on the bench. Hopefully I can keep it similar all season, swapping one for the likes of Eriksen/Lallana/De Bruyne/Mahrez when fixtures are good or injuries creep in. Took a hit on strikers to have all them, though.

N'Zogbia will be next...hopefully

Kone turns down contract offer and reports a "back problem" so he's not playing on Sunday

It's a brilliant read today is RTG. They are going into meltdown more than ever! Not often a Championship club could sit back and laugh at the state of a PL club. Their finances are awful, their squad is awful, any decent player wants out and they replace them with garbage. A win for them on Sunday will paint over the cracks, but a defeat will send a few of them over the edge!

It is pretty good, aye! I'm going tonight but stopping at my lasses parents. Going to head to a bar around 12 tomorrow looking for other Newcastle fans. Anybody with a name/rough location of a bar for away fans it's appreciated.

With any luck he will pull his hammy and screw them over so they're on the relegation zone and under severe pressure before he's back.

Turned £150 from my last night winnings into £245 on the Kent v Yorkshire cricket match. Was never in doubt I let the first 15 overs pass to see how they were playing then lumped on under 324.5 runs. Seemed too easy! Curse of the Europa is back tonight, though. It's a nightmare so just small stakes on: £2 over 2.5 goals Midtjylland v Osmanlispor, Shakhtar, West Ham, AZ and R.Vienna to win returns £70 £1.80 Larnaca, Tel Aviv, Fenerbahce, West Ham, Gent, Sassuolo, Olympiakos to win returns £68

Anything but a loss. Need to build momentum, plus the in-laws are from Bristol and my lass is in the home end...I can't face defeat.

Get in. 93rd minute Legia Warsaw Great day of betting.

Nobody is safe in this squad, which is nice to see within reason. However, Dummett being captain is up there with the worst things to see in a starting line-up for years he's garbage. How can you expect somebody who is up there with the worst player in our starting team and always makes mistakes to try and tell the others what to do/motivate them. Ah well...in Rafa we trust. Must win game already!

I've got Redmond on the bench with Amat starting. So do the opposite and play him with my record!

A corner market may be decent value at HT for odds of 1/5 or so. Usually get decent value on them but that's a big risk if you don't want to lay it off. Or a card to be awarded by a specific time in the match if Betfair offer this?

Finally allowed to withdraw money on B365 with their 25% bonus. Withdrew my £100 original deposit and stuck the remaining £100 I got up to on: £75 Newcastle win either half, Celtic win either half, over 1.5 goals Dundalk v Legia returns £200 £15 Newcastle, Celtic, Legia returns £99 £5 Newcastle, Celtic, Legia all HT/FT returns £136 £3 Newcastle, QPR, Celtic, Legia returns £48 £2 Gayle, Griffiths FGS returns £49 A great night or a s*** night ahead...

Wish I did the same, already regretting putting Sheff Wed in mine. Still 45 to go but they aren't filling me with confidence. Edit: 2-1 Burton. Fuck off.

Already placed my bet on Villa, Norwich, Sheff Wed, Newcastle @ 16/1. Three teams all mentioned by others on here = cursed.

Wildcard played

People say the best time to use triple captain is a double game week, but surely the best time to use your bench boost is then? The chances of four players (give or take as they might not all be playing twice) scoring more than your captain x3 must be higher probability?

Thanks. Kick a man when he's down n all that

Dortmund v Bayern - 3+ goals, 3+ cards, 9+ corners 11/4 Barca v Sevilla - 3+ goals, less than 8 cards, 10+ corners 6/4 Double.

Shouldn't change my mind...but I will anyway. Going for Liverpool to win 2-1.

Always opted for guaranteed profit but I'm going for it (slightly) today. Going to stick my £50 in play on Liverpool BTTS whatever the odds may be on that. In work now and got s*** signal so will pretend I need the toilet at 15:55 to have time to log in and get it ready.
