Figures 1-0 Football

This is seriously bad, we look as clueless as we have all season.

What do you have to do to be a gold customer and what can of offers and bonus' do you get? Lose a lot of money No it's based on your stakes, as I stake quite a bit on football I got an email to say I'd be enrolled into it. You get really good customer service, when you go on the live chat you get shoved straight to the front and any issues and you'll end up with a free bet. They'll email occasionally with personalised offers, for example I got one last week of 'stake £50 or more on England v Holland and get a matched bet up to £300'. I believe they have a silver and platinum service too, no idea on the difference of the three of them. They'll chuck in a random bonus every now and again too, I got £400 on my birthday this year for example with only needing to stake it once before it is withdrawable.

West Ham @ 19/20 - £250 West Ham -1 @ 12/5 - £150 West Ham -2 @ 13/2 - £100

It's that time of the week again where we have false optimism

Joe Hart is massively overrated, he's good but he's just not as good as the English media portray him to be.

"My future? I still have to finish the season, and after I shall have four-year contract with Newcastle. It's a goal for me to stay and impose myself in England, although it's been difficult with my old coach. "I wanted to take the opportunity of returning to OM to better prepare for the next season."

If he's s*** (and he hasn't shown anything in the time he has been on the field to suggest he isn't) then he probably doesn't warrant a chance. He came on when we were about 12-0 down against Chelsea and apart from that he's played about 12 minutes of football. How on Earth anyone can judge him on that is unreal. EDIT - he's played a grand total of 29 minutes. How shocking that he's not made such a good impression!

Frustrates me because as expected, he will be another player who leaves the club without being given a decent chance. Clearly we operate as a club who carry out "favours", as too many of our transfers are suspect and never even step foot on the field. Yet we have chancers like Williamson and Gouffran on the books for years and consistently in the squad.

Ultimately, nobody forces him to relapse other than himself. Addiction is an illness, but also one that can be cured/beaten with the acceptance and self-motivation. I have great credit for any addict (drugs, gambling, alcoholic, smoking) who can beat it and stay off it. I have less and less sympathy for people if they continuously relapse and go through cycle after cycle of addiction as once you are 'clean' then you have the opportunity to stay clean by keeping with your support methods. If you know you've had history of an addition to gambling, the only person to blame is yourself if you're stood in a bookies. The same goes for alcohol, Gazza has nobody else to blame apart from himself for picking up the next drink and relapsing. I appreciate mental health conditions can influence and complicate matters, but nobody can say Gazza is blameless in this situation.

Are you available for relationship coaching? 'cause I've got lifestyle envy (wife style envy?). It's an expensive lifestyle! She'll be delighted if we lose and I spend the entire weekend looking for stones to put into my shoes so I can walk out into the North Sea.

"I've got great relegation experience, I kept Newcastle up"

Starting to get pre-game nerves now! Realisation at how big this game is. My away game partner in crime cant go tomorrow, so I booked a weekend away for me and the Mrs... conveniently and totally coincidentally Norwich is on the route to the hotel so I surprised her last night with the fact that if she wants to go away for the weekend then she has to come to this first

I had a similar issue once with an online casino account (Casino.com), they offered me a matched bonus up to £50 which I took. The terms were that I needed to stake 50x the bonus before I could withdraw it and my winnings (£2,500). After playing for a while I had managed to stake the required amount and had won £600, so I withdrew it. One week later and no money in my bank, I phoned customer services and was fobbed off with an excuse about it processing. Within an hour of that call I received an email with a similar clause to the one in that article, saying I had abused the bonus and they would refund my initial £50 but not pay out my winnings. I phoned them and kicked off, they then sent me a further email advising that this bonus is classed as "abused" if you spin stakes of £1 or more. So effectively, you need to stake £2,500 with 50p spins or less (5,000 spins). My argument was the same as what you just said, if I wasn't allowed to stake £1 or more, then why did it let me? I complained to IBAS (independent complaints for gambling) who sent me a letter 6 weeks later saying there is nothing they can do. Absolutely ridiculous, basically makes the sign up bonuses unwinnable and irrelevant, I've not used any other gambling account since other than William Hill (who I'm a "gold customer" with and receive great service/bonuses).

Palace will keep dropping and dropping and dropping and dropping. Norwich is a massive game, but the Palace game will be even bigger by the time we play them. Must not lose on Saturday, a lose would be disastrous whereas a draw we could cope with (especially if the mackems lost). A win would be nice, but we support Newcastle so we may as well plan for the worst

I think people are underestimating just how poor Norwich are. I've seen steady improvements in the two games under Rafa, both of which were within a short period of him taking over. He's now had a good period with most of the players to get their heads down and organised.

They seem to be in a similar situation to us, I'd have sympathy for them but their fans are cunts.

Elliot is just too likeable, almost like he should be an Ameobi.

"Footie & Fags"

Fucking Drinkwater the man of the match? Fucking ITV trying to milk him into the squad.

This is the man we are entrusting with keeping the nets in our most vital relegation fight ever http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Karl+Darlow+Y5IzpSKC4LLm.jpg

Has the same do as buzz from home alone and I hate him for it http://i.imgur.com/6shN3BC.png please save us, buzz.

Mitro conceded a foul against the mackems for a sneeze in comparison to that

Willems has looked absolutely dreadful tonight, he'd fit in perfectly with us.

What did Villa/Garde expect when he took over? They were shit then and are shit now.

Saw more movement from Gini in his celebration with his team mate than I have in his last 6 appearances
