Rickie Lambert scored 38 pens in a row. He was at a slight advantage due to drinking crystal water mind.

I'd be very surprised if it happened much at the top level at all. The average punter will probably drop a tenner or so on a card bet. If there's suddenly large amounts being placed on a specific player who then happens to be booked it will stand out like a sore thumb. Unless the accounts have a history of regularly betting similar amounts on the same markets and taking big losses you're pretty much done for. To make multiple new accounts and bet the maximum amount allowed is about as blatant as you can get Online bookies have so much data to go on that anything that is even slightly above the norm is flagged up instantly. There was around 10 Chinese snooker players banned recently for throwing specific frames that was uncovered quite easily for what was relatively low amounts compared to what Paqueta is being accused of. With how much his odds changed pre game the bookies knew they were getting done before he even stepped onto the pitch.

You'd deservedly get snapped off your own team mates if you turned up to a Sunday league game rocking a pair of Skechers boots.

Liverpool refusing to pay £50m for Lavia and then going for Caceido only for Chelsea to overpay for both out of spite has probably led to them having FFP worries and having to sell someone they don't really want to Makes that whole saga even funnier if we're benefitting from it.

Thought they were holding state executions at SJP judging by some of the reactions I've seen. It's a couple of international friendlies that will get a load of kids and families into the ground for those prices who either can't afford or have access to tickets otherwise. Was more annoyed when we had the Rugby and Ed Sheeran there.

Just necked his pitcher, off to Mushroom to get on the Skittles now.

Find it quite funny how rattled Klopp is by Newcastle. Glad Eddie only focuses on us and doesn't get drawn into any of that shite discussing other teams in press conferences.

We got dominated of Villa and Brighton away last season. Next time we played them it was a completely different story. Same with Man United after the final loss. He's absolutely brilliant at recognising where things have gone wrong and being able to implement the necessary changes to fix things. Don't think I've ever had this level of confidence in a manager here, ever.

Was like vIlla were playing with 10 men when Tielemans came on What was that about Italians not adapting to the league well? Tonali was the best player on the pitch on his debut. Gordon absolutely brilliant too, his fitness levels and confidence are a world apart from what we saw last season. Barnes totally ruthless as you'd expect.

How have Arsenal got 3 blokes on the touchline like that?

That's awful

Genuinely can't work out if that lineup is a windup or not

The average last season was 55 minutes. Newcastle second lowest with 51 minutes. Don't think you'll ever get close to 80 minutes actual football, even the stopwatch suggestion is to make games 60 minutes.

Don't think Pep is a bad guy he's just really weird and intense. The type of person you're just constantly on edge around.

Presumably it's in the same way I'm now considering walking away from Ana de Armas.

Fuck off Goofy

Be hilarious if Chelsea outbid them and the scousers have to go back to Southampton pretending their skint again.

Surely would have been better sorting this deal out ages ago though even if it was for slightly less money? To do it on the first day of the season when Kane seemed to have agreed terms with Bayern ages ago seems a bit mad. The only reason it's probably not dragged out to deadline day is due to Kane saying he'd not be leaving if he's a Spurs player come the first game of the season. Levy seems to be someone who has to be seen as 'winning' or having the power even if it's to the detriment of the club. Same reason he put Ryan Mason in charge of a cup final over the possibility of Mourinho winning it.

Bit gutting Conte isn't there anymore, like. Reckon his stress levels would have got so high even his wig would start balding.

Hilarious start to the first day of the season to be fair. Levy is an absolute clown. Probably seen the Caecido price overnight and wants a simialir fee all of a sudden.

It's basically impossible to define what a player is 'worth' now when the top sides will happily overpay if they want the player.

That's what LFEE was arguing for, no? 75-80 minutes of actual football. The average match right now is only 55 minutes of football. 75-80 minutes is a massive increase. You won't even get that in games that go to ET.

Fair play to Brighton, like. Thought they were mad to knock back £80m and ask for 100. Somehow they've ended up with even more Hopefully he turns into the next Keita for Liverpool.

An extra 20 minutes of actual playing time would be crazy, like When was the last good ET? It's usually two teams knackered strolling around and constantly going down with cramp. Imagine that twice a week over the course of a season. You'd just end up with a worst product overall, games would have to be played with less tempo and intensity and half the players would be out injured come the 2nd half of the season.

Brother must be getting a canny payday out of it.
