166 profit just on this 2nd half alone lol
What are you betting on?
Oh look, here comes the Spanish national team defense force.
You're a fucking suck up for them. I'm wrong in your opinion.

3 long throws from Copenhagen, 3 goals. :lol

I can't be the only one rolling his eyes when people say Iniesta is the third best player in the world?
1st bet was over 4.5 goals in the Barca game. Then put the winnings into over 5.5
It's funny seeing a Napoli fan talking shit about juve. Lol
Yep...

Easy there, you are talking about Xavi and Iniesta here. Lol
Or because Xavi and Iniesta were the heart of a team that has won two European Championships and a World Cup.
Ozil and Schweinsteiger are magnificent players and are amongst the best in the world. They fall short when compared to the Spaniards though.
You seem rather angry about this.
I'm not a bid fan of the Spanish either but I can appreciate the best in the world.
Clegg hates the Spanish hahaha
It's okay Timmy, Napoli can only run their mouths in Torino.

This is a brilliant match, so out played. After 25 min our supporters are already doing this

Look at his face when he realises he's celebrating on his own
lol

LOL, I knew you'd bring titles to it. It's quite the hypocrisy because I did the same thing with the Ibra vs Villa discussion and you talked me down.
Fuck the titles. I'm talking about individual skills and that picture clearly proves Ozil has done more than both combined.

Liverpool would have 2 points in the league had it not been for Suarez
Yeah, Juve in Turin will be extremely tough. Not a particularly exciting run of games for Chelsea if we can't boost our attack somehow. Maybe we should go with Del Bosque's all-midfielders/no Torres lineup from the Euros.
The problem is the strikers Villa vs Gomez
You're such a bad influence on me. I never usually make huge bets, but I just put £300 on Real Madrid.
Well Ozil plays more advanced than both of them. Xavi isn't the type to have assists. I would think that Iniesta has more assists then Schweinsteiger and that surely refutes your argument?

lol
Haha this is hilarious.
*looks at bets*
Fuck you Suarez!
Against Levante it's risky but I have faith. Good luck!
Then if we're talking about individual skills, Xavi and Iniesta are superior.
Their games have never been about all about assists. Xavi dictates the pace of the game and Iniesta opens up holes in the opposition defence.
Ozil plays near the front and is always looking for the assist.

Nah, we'd still have 11 players.
Makes my really eager for a fit Borini. Suarez scores when he doesn't have to do all the work himself.
Borini makes striker runs pulling defence out of position so Suarez doesn't have to try and beat 3 defenders.
Oh my fucking god hahahahah imagine if you lose. How much do you stand to win?
I put 1.50 on Levante!

May God have mercy on your soul.
well u better hope cr7 scores a hat trick or i can't see madrid winning
madrid had trouble winning vs levante last season
Which totally contradicts that saying that 'Messi wouldn't be all that without Xavi and Iniesta playing the passes behind him.'
Aren't they supposed to give him most of his goals?

Fucking hilarious. Hahah
Woah.. 300?
If you lose there will be tears.
I lost around 500 last week and had to make some questionable bets to make it all back + profit. It was a learning experience.
But who agrees with that saying :S only idiots
Even Barca fans do
So? Messi is the best player in the world and would be great regardless of who he plays with.
He's just lucky that he has the best midfielders in the world backing him up.
They don't always assist him but stretch the game in such a way that Messi always has a great chance of scoring.
Nah you'll be fine, we're shit in Europe.
You may have a point on Ozil but you're 300% wrong on Ibra vs Villa, bias aside, it's not even close.
Xavi can't be compared to Iniesta/Ozil, he plays a different role. His assists and goals are irrelevant.
Pirlo was better last year with his fancy 13 assists.
Then I'll take Ozil and Pirlo over them I guess.

Iniesta is 2nd after Messi:

oh god here come the Fry comments about Mario Gomez smh
Assist is a meaningless stat and it only takes into account the final pass, not the forty others that came before it—which make that final pass possible (especially in the case of Barcelona). Xavi and Iniesta do just fine on the international stage without Messi where they've been routing Germany every other year for some time now.
Busquets is the best at what he does. Xavi isn't. Iniesta isn't.
Overhyped, so overhyped. Fuck them and this discussion.
Yeah... no. Stats have become increasingly ignored because they are deemed unimportant. But some stats DO tell you a lot.
I've been doing well with my bets lately. It'll never last so decided to take a long hiatus from gambling. I've decided to spend my winnings on

It's got 50% off, so down to $2400. Just have to make sure they ship internationally.

Yeah but no one actually believes themselves when they say it. :lol as if Xavi and Iniesta are why he dribbles past 3 players and scores. Alves assisted Messi more than Xavi and Iniesta combined last season.
That doesn't mean Messi sucks without them and it doesn't mean they aren't important to him and Barca. They are just as important.
