Certainly do. They won the league on a pitch of sand.

God was in charge, that's why.

Speaking of religion, I'm praying that Steve Cotterill gets sacked tomorrow morning else my beloved Forest will go down to League One, again. If anyone watched ESPN tonight and wondered if the team playing against Leicester in red were a collection of seriously disabled children from local schools then no, those were paid professionals you were watching.

^Adrian Chiles just showed "the miss" on ITV there. Players should have to donate money to Charity when things like that happen. Shocking!

Always get good odds on those bets n their is a reason , fair play though mate you certainly don't fuk about i'd not put more than £2 on one of those bets .
Mind i'm starting to get an idea of your gambling habbits from ypour posts n i must admit you have got some serious balls !
Although i was disapointed for ya t'other day when you got sucked in by the nastyt Roulette on the way out after getting a nice touch on the Man U Wigan game .

Yeah steering away from the casino is the best thing, every time I go on there I end up pissing it away, ive joined a "proffesional gambling advice" group on facebook, like £5ver a month but some pro tips get posted in there daily. Some serious big boys in there aswell, some lads about £40k up he posts his dog bets now and again they always come in. I had a tenner on madrid - madrid @ 5/1 and barca - madrid at 28/1 also, always try and cover.

Theres some people with more balls than me though, i only ever gamble what I can afford to lose.

NSFW:

This is the lad who runs it

These from just the past few weeks of the bigger wins lol, Ive seen like 5x 14 fold accumulators come in recently, he only ever uses "Asian Handicaps" if youve ever heard of it, never really anything else.

 

[brimz]

i used to be a big Horse racing fan n would go to the races at Bath sometimes n always have a lucky 15 every week .

My gambling partner passed last year n since then i haven't really done much it don't feel the same without him we used to go every Sat. for about 18years .

Still have the odd flutter n have had some pretty spectacualr long odds footy wins in the past .

Another guy who i stayed in a hostel with had a gambling problem , he is also dead now but he taught me how to read the form n many of the tricks .

They were both really special people n i miss em dearly .

@Mattnotrik Some insane stakes there. 2 grand on Fenerbahce away.

I needed Fenerbahce to win for a 5 team accumulator for about 150 quid lol! 1-1 going into 4 mins injury time, and the ball hits the back of a Maniaspor defenders head and flies into the opposite corner of the net, bizzare OG.

Then i see this guy has 2 grand on it, fuck!

 

[brimz]

I saw Fenerbache get ripped a new one in the Champions League a few years back by FC Porto @ Estadio Dragao

Roberto Carlos was playing for Fenerbache n got an absolute roasting he should of retired from that level by then .

 

[suburu]

Hes still playing, in Russia now along with Etoo for the super rich Anzhi Makackala club earning about 10 million a year.

Guess we'll see a few more leeches going over there. Spain are introducing 50% high tax rate soon like in the UK. Tax rate in Russia is 13%.

 

[brimz]

yeah they aren't even doing that well a strange one that. I can see why Carlos is their as he is finished at a high level.

Eto is still only 30 and should be playing for atop team in the champions league every year. I understand he's on £300,000 a week but he would still get plenty playing in Spain or Italy .

I remember watching him playing alongside Patrick Mboma for Real Mallorca in about 2002/3 season they had a cracking partnership.
Ironically Eto was released by Real Madrid as a kid for about 2.5 mil

Spectacular collapse by Newcastle today, great news for Liverpool if they can capitalise against Bolton.

Watched the Swansea game online today - they lost but continued with their wonderful pass-and-move footy. So refreshing to see a promoted team play like that

 

[brimz]

Top of the League yeah

Yeah hes quality, an out and out goal machine, but undoubtedly a greedy man. Guardiola must have had a big falling out cos he scored hatfuls for Barca.

I could never understand Guardiola made selling him to Inter. Etoo + 45 million = Ibrahimovic. Not a chance.

 

[brimz]

Haha Liverpool

 

[ageingpartyfiend]

Downing, Carroll and Adam - never were/are going to fit at Anfield...mediocre players...wrong system for them etc etc

Carroll needs a partner and a barrage of crosses (and a first touch), Adam must be part of a 3 man midfield and Downing needs to fucking grow a pair.

The worst transfer window I can remember, on a par with Houllier's disaster with Diao, Diouf and Cheyrou.

 

[bogman]

Liverpool sign a new striker from Nigeria.on his first day of traning Kenny Dogleash picks up a ball and says "BALL".

Then he does a kicking motion and says "KICK".

then he points to the goal and says "GOAL"-understand ?

"KICK - BALL - GOAL...GOOAAL

the striker says "excuse me mr Dogleash but i speak perfeck english.

Dogleash says "sit down you black b.....d im speaking to Andy Carroll.

re the above

There's banter, there's humour, and there's utter fuckwittery.

You seem so keen on 'jokes' with racist overtones that I am actually worried about you...absolutely can't be arsed to explain why this kind of shite is harmful and incredibly offensive, primarily as I doubt you would comprehend given your metality.

How you got to be a mod on a forum within an intelligent site like this is beyond me.

Anyway, won't be in this thread anymore as you make me feel quite ill, thanks
