And Bayern lost. At home. To a team that haven't won away all season. Who were 27-1 to win today Fuck...

Forgot to bet yesterday which is annoying as Coventry were 6/5 to win at Wednesday and would have been one of the selections along with probably Portsmouth. Not much around but i'll go with this. Bayern and over 3.5 goals 4/6 Juventus to win 4/5 £10 wins £30 dead on. Might even do that on Paddy P.

Things you love to see. Cheating bastards. This will taste so much sweeter if we go back up on merit.

I've missed the weekend's stuff but I'll place a late £10 bet on the following. Milan to beat Roma BTTS 15/4 PSG to beat Lens BTTS 5/2 £10 wins £166.25

Got to say, I generslly try to think the first two players thst come to mind. Not always the best, but generslly good, probably more iconic. When I think of Brazil, it's 100% Fat Ronaldo. Absolute phenominan. And that's even over Rivaldo and Ronaldinho. Pure magic. He'd always be my pick over Garrincha. Chile for me has to contain one of either Marcelo Salas or Ivan Zamorano, maybe even both? Germany would contain Jurgen Klinsmann or Lother Matthaus over Kroos, easy. England would contain either Gary Lineker or Alan Shearer instead of Keegan for me. France would be Zinedine Zidane over Mbappe, easily. Italy I'd swap Baggio for Dino Zoff or Buffon I think, as much as I love Baggio. The other two are just more iconic, especially for the position they play too. A few I've not seen mentioned that spring to mind for me... Belgium Enzo Scifo and Kevin De Bruyne. Czech Republic Karel Poborsky and Paolo Nedved Romania Georghi Hagi and Gheorghe Popescu Bulgaria Hristo Stoichkov and Dimitar Berbatov Denmark Michael Laudrup and Peter Schmeichel Sweden Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrick Larsson Switzerland Xerdhan Shaqiri and Stephane Chapuisat Cameroon Roger Milla and Samuel Eto'o Senegal El-Hadji Diouf and Papa Bouba Diop Ghana Tony Yeboah and Sammy Kuffour

I wouldn't want to see him go as I think he's developing and it's not been easy for him to establish a position whilst Summerville, James and Rutter have been on it. He's got a lot to offer for sure. Equally if he goes, he goes. It would be different if it was Summerville. Long as we get a replacement of course though and the price is right.

From what I've read, Spence was liked at the club but Farke on a few occasions had to tell him he wanted to see a change in his attitude towards training and a matchday. It's obviously wore thin and Farke see's it as detrimental to the team spirit if Spence isn't busting a gut. Shame, he has the talent but fair enough in my book.

Ah, would you look at that... I'd just like to take this moment to announce my (temporary) retirement from the game, it's been a pleasure and good luck catching me lads (Don't worry, I'll still bet. My next challenge is to lose it all)

17th 25th

I'd rather have Harvey Price mate.

Blimey, its came in

Can I use my £25 bet please? Going to put it on the Skybet boost. Salah and Gordon 1 Shot on Target each and each to win 1 Foul. 6-1. £25 wins £175.

12th 27th

Granted, we've had some absolute fruitcakes on here that are remembered for being absolute twats, and they will always stick in people's minds for the wrong reasons. But it's a bit sad how easy people that were actually genuinely nice and class posters that contributed to making the community what it's really about, get lost and forgot about amongst the controversy. I couldn't give a flying fuck about half those names mentioned, they were daft and on the wind up. But I'd genuinely have loved a beer with half that never get mentioned, so here's to them.

Actually I did see a Twitter rumour on that, but I'd be very surprised if it happened. Pretty sure he was linked to us, Leicester and Southampton before we all made different appointments in the Summer, so can't see how a 20th placed Stoke get him in. As much a disaster as the Chelsea situation was, and it probably tainted his profile, he's got enough credit in the bank for me to have another PL job. He was touted as a potential England manager at one point. He's definitely got a mid-table club vibe to him.

If Cooper does inevitably go, I can't help but feel they go Potter. He's sitting there waiting for the right opportunity and you feel that will come from any club that fits in around that 10th to 17th mark. Just seems the perfect move on paper to me. The panic would be if someone like a Palace parted ways with Hodgson and it forced Forest to act quick or face competition. I see it a bit like the Dyche situation last year. You knew Saints, Everton, Leeds and Leicester were all going to change manager at some point and Dyche was the one out of work you'd most likely turn to. Everton were the one's that took that chance.

Don't worry mate, we are in no rush to see it

Ah man, really? Marseille coasted in. Thought when Barca got it back to 1-1 they'd go on and win that way the game was going. Even Second half they had so much of the play but that third Girona goal killed it. Gotta love this game haven't you.

19th 16th

I've missed most the games but I'll still have a punt on this double tonight please. Never know, might come in, worth a go for the sake of minus £10 again. Barca to win, BTTS 6/4 Marseille to win, BTTS 5/2 £10 wins £87.50.
