Christ's sake, we've got a game tonight!

[Sir C]

It's on the telly early, I've no idea why.

Will we play a league cup side?

Shall I do my bets?

So this gambling malarkey c. One simply hands a modest sum of money over to a bookmaker is it? And he hands back a larger sum.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Have you encountered any negative aspects to this apparent golden goose activity?

[Tony C]

Provided he starts...ESR @ 3/1 to score anytime could be good.

He’s had his debut, nerves should be gone so hopefully he can get a couple decent chances. He had one really good chance very early on the other night but just rushed it.

iWobi @ 11/4 also looks good but he seems to be more about hard work and graft this season so don’t know how many chances he might get.

...

Some of the names in this Europa league though...F91 Dudelange..sounds like the Aldi version of a fighter plane, pretty sure MOL Vidi was a Star Wars character...one of them bears imo. Even Qarabag played a side call FC Sheriff whose logo is a cartoon sheriff’s badge...no jokes...look it up.

Gracious me no. I commenced with my master plan on Wednesday last, since which auspicious day I have stripped the bookmaking fraternity of a total of £148! Such a sum is not to be sniffed at, rather like your mum's suppurating crotchpiece.

7/1 Acca

FC Astana - Khazakstani Champions for the last 4 years...showed plenty of heart to score in the 5th minute of injury time to salvage a draw on match day 1 away to Dynamo Kyiv. Rennes might be in for a culture shock vs this lot.

Arsenal - Light work 4 nil

Chelsea - Even more lighter work 6nil

Ludogrets - I remember them going to PSG and beating them to help us win the group. Good side. Lost a 5 goal thriller on the opening night vs Bayer Leverkusen. They take a class drop tonight vs Zurich who needed a penalty to beat some team from Cyprus on opening night.
