2010/2011 English Premier League Discussion Thread

I turned it on for a few minutes, saw him messing with his gadgets while staring down the lens of the camera so quickly turned over.

I turned over pre-match where i saw him pressing all these buttons and drawing arrows everywhere. I nearly got sick for the brief moment i listened to him. I turned over and turned back in time for kick off.

anyone notice thierry henry at the arsenal game at the weekend? Pretty sure he was close enough to the sideline when they zoomed in on him, wearing his arsenal scarf with some a list celebs like that guy from lost and others.

no but I have noticed you have given up on your weekly EPL tips, no harm really

yes i must apologise to the forum - nothing tickled my fancy last weekend. On a bit of a losing streak but still up a profit of 80. The EPL is a bit of a mess at the moment betting wise but at least Chelsea have drifted out from 1/2 to 5/4. the relegation market is very interesting too. No way Fulham should be 7/1 to go down and Bham 4/1 for example.

By all means Puke if you want to tot up the many - ive heard word for a ‘insert random tony martin/donie hassett etc horse here’ tips you pop up be our guest. Would be interesting to see your win/loss ratio. Betting on minority sports friendlies :rolleyes: , give over mate

post up one time I have tipped up a tony martin/donie hassett horse and i will gladly go back through all my bets and tot up the win/loss ratio…should be easy seeing as you say there are many

tony martin/donie hassett etc :rolleyes: - random horse trainers, they were just two that came to mind. In any case feel free to go through all tips posted up for the last 6 months. Last weekend seems to have been a bloodbath for you, no more than usual I guess you pockmarked coont, start there and work back.

That 9/4 tip on Norway to beat Ireland was the start of the bloodbath alright :rolleyes:

I have a tip for tomorrow night. Spurs -1, currently 13/10 with Powers, won’t be for long I’d say.

So if they lose by a goal then the bet is a winner or is refunded?

No they need to win by one goal. If they win by 2 you get double the odds, win by 3 treble the odds, etc, etc.
If they draw you get your bet refunded
and if they lose by only 1 goal you get half your stake back.

Does the Gareth Bale hattrick quadruple the odds bonus apply?

as original as ever I see :rolleyes:

Looks like Adebayor is displaying his willingness to fight for a place by jumping ship to Juventus in January

I’ve a prediction to make. Almost all KIB’s tips are around the even money mark. Given that I would expect the bookmakers odds compilers to know more about the sports they are laying than a (very) average punter, I’d be willing to predict that he’s almost guaranteed to break in or around even if you tot up all his tips over a fairly long period of time, say a year. He’ll have wins, followed by losses and this cycle will continue ad nauseum. Get on it at 10/11.

I’d say you are spot on Gola.

:pint:

:clap:

Got to love Carlos, he’s pretty bang on.

[size=“6”]Tevez: Football’s now full of bad people[/size]
Friday, November 26, 2010
MANCHESTER CITY captain Carlos Tevez has stunned the club by admitting he has fallen out of love with football and will quit the game in his prime.

The Argentine forward has been City’s key player this season but admits he has been struggling to motivate himself since his country’s disappointment at the World Cup.

And now Tevez has delivered the bombshell that Eastlands fans will have been dreading.

“I don’t want to play anymore,” he said last night. “I’m tired of football, but also tired of people who work in football. I don’t want to play anymore, and I’m talking seriously.”

Tevez who is the Premier League top scorer with nine goals (almost half of Manchester City’s total of 19), has been central to his team’s success this season.

In a stinging attack on the nature of the game today, he blasted: "Football is only about money, and I don’t like it. There are so many agents with really young footballers… it’s awful, as these young players are not interesting in winning titles, they only want money. The young players think that they have won something in football because they have two cell phones and a house. Today, there are many bad people in the football business, and you have to fight with them all the time. I’m tired of that too.

"Today, the young players have no education at all, and I don’t want to listen to them. When I played in Boca, when (Martin) Palermo or (Juan Roman) Riquelme talked, I listened to them. So I don’t want a young player to tell me ‘why did you do that?’ in the dressing-room. I would punch him, as I have won 13 titles in my career.

“I’m going to play football for three or four years in Europe, then I will quit. I would play for Boca again only if my father asks me to do it, but I don’t want to play in Argentina again. If you ask me, I would love to have my old life back in my neighbourhood of Fuerte Apache as I don’t like my way of life today.”

Last month, Tevez was involved in a furious row with coach Roberto Mancini and he admitted that he had been playing under a cloud from which he is struggling to escape. “The World Cup still hurts me and I’m afraid it is going to hurt me for a long time,” he said back then.

Winning the league title in his first season at Manchester United appears to have dampened his desire to repeat that success with City.

“I have won all the titles for the clubs I have played with, but I have won nothing with the national team yet. So, when you have won so many titles, it is really hard to find a new motivation,” he told TyC Sports.

“I don’t want to suffer anymore, I just want to be calm, I want some peace. But at the moment, football feels like a job for me.”

Tevez is s good player certainly but talking about how the game is only about money when he joined Man City is a bit rich (pun intended).
