But in cycling they are supposed to be all taking it. Makes it a far more level playing field than any other sport

Dont start that blar blar its disgusting because they whip them in a race regardless of the high quality of care from stables to exercise to food its disgusting, disgusting I tell you DISGUSTING!!!

It's okay Z3.

As Viva is getting older I've noticed he doesn't go through a day with at least one post where he has a rant at someone or something. He has become so grumpy and like an old man, that I think Fan has hacked his account

zeb i downloaded it from the playstation store. Got a £5 PSN card and bought it for £4. Its an awesome game. You can play online co-op aswell.

Cycling is a heck of a lot cleaner than it used to be. And at least they are actually finding the cheats in there sport now...

Afro, is Viva the new Fan?

Damn it, I might get it. We can play cp-op then OOOSH

Zidane would you like to be forced to run? No don't think so.
Nadeem stop running away from me on fifa you coward.
Afro I'm not grumpy
Olly that don't mean its good.

He definately posts a lot more posts that start "I don't like it when..." or "It annoys me when..." than anyone else.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:26 pm

Bit of news emerging from Hughton's press conference for the game on Saturday Afro is a very good chance that Holt and Becchio will start together on Saturday!

Likely Tettey will be injured, so imagine we will go 4-4-2 with Howson and Johnson CM. Hoolahan has gone off the boil a little recently, so maybe a spell on the bench will buck his game up

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:28 pm

Wow, thats...really something olly. thanks for sharing

by sodhat Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:28 pm

Tactics sent Afro, shan't be here tomorrow

Which means no sheep by me...

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:30 pm

Which means Premier League teams send tactics to me then I guess

by sodhat Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:30 pm

I will be back in the evening, but yes send them to us both anyway. That way we can cover each other.

by **Afro** Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:30 pm

Holt and Becchio. I can imagine Distin and Jags will be delighted.

We are possibly going to give one of our youngsters a game. Talk is that either Stones will start at RB, or Jags will be at RB again and Duffy will play CB. At 6'4, Duffy will probably prefer facing a target man more than a smaller forward

Would say that last year at the Carra, Holt and Wilbraham (when he came on) caused problems for your defence and this season the only time we looked like scoring (and eventually did) was from set pieces, so I presume we will be going by that logic again.

I'd like to see Stones play, he looked decent for Barnsley when I saw him play on TV earlier in the season.

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:13 pm

Got Trebs tactics.

Nando, send your RL tactics to me also since you play Azzy this week

by Marky Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:15 pm

Gonna send my tactics now, which means any offers I have made will have to be for next week.

by Trebs Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:17 pm

Yep, sent them Soddy before but forgot to send some to you as well until now GSC.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:18 pm

Zidane would you like to be forced to run? No don't think so.

Viva, they are trained to run! Hence there great living.

In the horsie world they are the posh, born with a silver spoon in their mouth horsies.
All the chav & working class horsies envy them as they dont have to work for what they get. They get a lovely house given to them, the yummiest Waitrose esq foods not some poopie Netto rubbish, acres of land to run around in & all the best medical care all handed to them on a silver platter.
Normal horsie's are like Pirlo & Scholes, mere mortals. The racing horsie's are like Andrea Scholes+, Omnipotent !!!

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:22 pm

Got Markys also

by Marky Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:26 pm

That's all my tactics for the week sent. Enjoy yourselves, i'm off tomorrow and may be on over the weekend, but if not, see you Monday.

by Guest Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:27 pm

Horses naturally run in herds, but why let facts like that get in the way of an old man's rant.

Shadowfax would disagree Affers.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:33 pm

Laters Marky, make sure you watch Zenit win tonight

by Marky Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:39 pm

Isn't happening. I'd bet you something but bets are forbidden. If I win, I get Jack Cork, if you win you get Moussa Dembele. Shame.

by nadeem2099 Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:42 pm

Viva i'd play you but if the rumors of you being a horsemeat consumer are true i'm gonna have to respectfully decline your invitation untill you are cleared of all charges of breeding horses and eating little baby pony meat.

by Guest Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:43 pm

lol im suprised everyone is sending tactics today...i thought we could send them tomorrow??

Gandalf's horse or the band?

If it's the horse, he lives in a land with wizards, hobbits, elves and orcs amongst other things. He has far more interesting things to occupy his time and running becomes a distraction.

The horses on Normal Earth don't have that, so enjoy running for it's simplicity (plus they love the feel of the wind in their hair)

Marky, its not a bet. You said if I win I get Moussa Dembele. Well I have new for you Marky, I won. Now gimmie Dembele.

Oh poop, its thursday tactics tomorrow. Being out the office on Monday im a day behind

We don't need to send them until tomorrow, but i'm not around tomorrow so i've sent them today. Same with Sodhat.

by Guest Thu 21 Feb 2013, 3:59 pm

marky i confirmed the Gnabry deal and put him in my squad Smile

by Marky Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:00 pm

Cheers, have updated my squad. Just a couple more Germans by next week Wink

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:03 pm

BOOM Keeper signed. Dont care what you say hes defo better than Mannone

by Guest Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:04 pm

Indeed, though I hear he's in the running for the Papacy due to being so old.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:11 pm

[quote]Indeed, though I hear he's in the running for the Papacy due to being so old.[/quote] Not bothered, cheap, Italian & better than Mannone. does the job for now.

Just had the following bet:
Chelsea v Sparta Prague - Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/11
Lyon v Tottenham - Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 8/13
Metalist Kharkov v Newcastle - Full Time Result - Metalist Kharkov @ 5/6
Liverpool v Zenit St.Petersburg - Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 8/11
£2 on the 4fold could pay out a profit of £15.67.
Thoughts??

by Marky Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:12 pm

Surprised you didn't back Zenit at 4/1 Whistle

by Fernando Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:13 pm

Your fail on the Lyon game thumbsup

by Guest Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:15 pm

Chelsea v Sparta Prague - Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/11

I'd have had the under myself.

Lyon v Tottenham - Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 8/13

A 50/50 choice, but I don't think Spurs will score.

Metalist Kharkov v Newcastle - Full Time Result - Metalist Kharkov @ 5/6

A draw or away win for me.

Liverpool v Zenit St.Petersburg - Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 8/11

Yep.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:17 pm

Surprised you didn't back Zenit at 4/1

I have in my next bet:
Lyon to Win @ 11/8
Metalist Kharkov to Win @ 5/6
Zenit St.Petersburg to Win @ 4/1
£1 treble pays £19.77 profit

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:20 pm

Metalist Kharkov have strong home form so thats why im backing them. I was thinking of doing a double chance bet to cover myself.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:22 pm

Azzy, your predictions above are at the odds of 13.51/1
I may stick a quid on it

by Marky Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:27 pm

Just signed Ronaldinho from releases for £900k. Still a Brazilian international so worth a punt surely?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:36 pm

Newcastle suck away from home as well

by Guest Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:38 pm

When it comes to Europe I've lost count of the times home/away form has screwed me, I discount it from my thoughts now.

Hope they all go out tonight though, so we can concentrate on the race for 4th Euro Division Homepage L - Page 3 3559488474

I've just backed Rubin Kazan to win both half's @ 8/1. £2 on it.

On skybet Rubin to win Half Time/Full Time is 3/1 but to win both half's is 8/1. Where's the sense in that? lol so obviously I went with the bigger odds

If they score all their goals in the first half and win the game, the first bet comes in but the second doesn't.

There are more scenarios where you are winning at half time and full time, than there is on scoring the most goals in both halves

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:52 pm

Oh yeah I know that Afro but the difference in odds is a lot more then I would of expected.
They win first half both bets are on, only way the second messes up is by draw or loss at full time or no Rubin goal in 2nd half, 3 changing outcomes increase's the odds by 5/1.
Edit: actually yes it makes more sense after thinking about it logically. Well done Afro

You seen the line up? Atletico resting a few regulars. Defensively there is some inexperience there.
