Alex de Souza:
yup. fener's chairman gets convicted of match-fixing and corruption, given 6 years in jail, banned from everything football related, still sitting on the board and walking around like a free man.
now he's sacrificed the heart of the team in favour of a tactically senile incompetent manager who's thrown away most of our games this season thus far.

They do it to get viewer recognition as top reporters, but I don't think the majority of the public even wants to see anything like that. A report and update on the case is acceptable, and in some cases it helps solve a case quicker with people calling in with new information, but live broadcasts of crime scenes are stupid and unnecessary since it's always disturbing images. 6 o'clock BBC news is all I watch if at all when it comes to news.
If we played like we used to in this video we'd win every cup in the world.

You didn't win shit back then, what makes you think that'd change today?
Get back in your place, you've had your 9 months in the sun

Because the teams today are pretty shit.
Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle etc of 1999 would be reeeeeeal scary today.

Classy move.
Meh free money for me may as well share the enjoyment
I was looking around for a naughty blazer and the nicest I found was one in gap, I was about to buy it and the guy on the till said if i give him my email address he will add me onto the system and ill get a 30% discount via email so I did that. I didn't get an email, maybe I pulled.
Regarding little April, the police aren't saying much more but I just hope he hasn't told them he killed her and threw her in the river as they seem to be focussing on the river

Kyoufu, our teams would be fucked these days. We'd be competing with those same teams, with the added challenge of City and Chelsea. It was hard enough when it was Man Utd alone consistently finishing in the top 2

I remember a time when Puyol and Pique played together
I remember a time when Pique was possibly the best CB in the world. Didn't last long

Way too much depressing stuff on this page
Quoting it again because BettingGAF missed it.

I believe he looked that good because of Puyol. When puyol is not around he looks unsure and makes stupid errors.

That's why I made the comment about Pique missing him
I think he needs someone to stay back and let him take risks, and someone to give him a bollocking when he takes a stupid risk. Puyol is the only strong character in the back 5 as far as I can tell, and certainly the only one willing to lay down the law

What year was that? 1983?
Luckily for us (Spain), Ramos is on his side correcting his mistakes.

Certainly helps being in close proximity to your best friend/captain.

Don't worry we gonna treat him well here! =D
Not sure what to say. Football is too unpredictable to win 200 quid a week. Success rate isn't that high.
If something is 3/1, it means if you put down $1, you get back $3. Every dollar times the fraction = your return.
5/8 = $0.63 per $1.
500/1 = $500 per $1
2/1 = $2 per $1
15/14 = $1.07 per $1
etc.
Basically, the bigger the favorite, the less you make for betting on them. Sometimes a team is such a huge favorite to win though that you're willing to potentially lose more than you can earn off a bet. (aka if you bet on a 8/15 favorite, you can only make $8 for every $15 you bet.. terrible rate of return).
You can also place bets on parlays (accumulators apparently in the UK) where you're betting on multiple results happening. I'm not sure the exact formula for what you earn -- I assume it has to do with multiplying the odds of all of the results you're betting on (but there is a little more to it than that since even if you bet on 5 favorites with less than 1:1 odds, there is a bonus in there for the number of results). Ultimately you can make a lot more money this way because your odds of winning decrease when relying on multiple outcomes. So you may spend $10 but bet on 5 things happening which could then yield you $200 while a direct $2 on each result separately might yield you $20.
There are prop bets (first yellow card will be Nigel de Jong, Ronaldo will score a FK, etc.) and Over/Under bets which means you think the teams will score 2 or 3 goals or more combined (for instance).
You can also sometimes bet on a direct winner rather than on a spread and these bets will be shown as +130 or -170, etc. which reflects the rate of return (+ means you'll make more than $1 per dollar bet, - means you won't).
I'd like to see United try out my FIFA 13 Seasons formation lol.
-------------De Gea-------------------
Rafael----Vidic----Ferdinand----Evra
Valencia--------Cleverley--------Nani
-------Kagawa-----------Rooney------
-------------Van Persie----------------
Just switch to decimal odds.
And Puyol only looks good because of who is in front of him. I refuse to believe that Puyol/Piqué are even among the best center backs in the world. Piqué couldn't even unseat Evans at United. They only look good because they have a midfield that dominates possession and is able to press the opposition and win the ball back.
Evans>Pique ∴ Evans = Best CB in world.

Evans with a dead leg=Pique

These United formations are flawed when you don't have someone in the middle of the pitch that can tackle or track runs from midfield. The back four are exposed otherwise, as you've seen many times this season.
Maybe if Fletcher gets back to his best then he can do that again.

He will be pretty vital yeah.
People will think this is hilarious and scoff, but I actually think Anderson may be able to do that job if instructed.
I would think Porto would be the underdog, so they'd probably be the +190 team rather than PSG. Sometimes the oddsmakers try and balance things out, so maybe there was a LOT of money on Dortmund at +385 so they've lowered the rate to +250 (this means they have a better chance to win than previously expected). These bets would be betting the winner rather than the spread. I've never bet on soccer/football so I'm not sure if they even do a spread like they do here in America?
If the Dolphins are -3, that means they're a 3 point favorite. You'll see the odds for the spread (typical betting) and for them to be a straight winner. If you bet on the favorite, you can usually make more by betting the spread than the winner because it's harder to cover the spread than to simply win in most scenarios. If you bet on the underdog, you can make more by betting they'll win than simply betting that the other team won't cover.
No I get why the line changes. I don't understand what the the +/- figures mean. +250 if Dortmund wins, what does that mean?
If I put 250$ I get 100?
For 90 minutes? Maybe I should send a private letter to Anderson and shame him about his weight. Would that work?

4 more hours! PSG won't even know what hit them.

It's been a little while since I've bet anything so I'm not entirely sure on the conversion rate when picking winners. If I recall, that means if they won, you'd get 2.5x every dollar spent.
