Haha, that would have been glorious😀 The first six-fold was a bust on about three of the games, Palace blew the treble, the other six-fold was killed by Leipzig but the seven-fold just came in with AC Milan. Got another treble in with AC, Cluj and Man City, plus the single with Lecce. About 300 up altogether today. Going to stay away from betting this week. I've been rotten most mid-weeks recently

Saved today by an In-Play on Lecce which got me back the 100 I lost on the coupons. Last coupon not dead yet but Maribor unable to score in the first hour isn't a great start.

Yep. And Middlesborough, Norwich, Bristol City, Derby, Tranmere, and on, and on, and on

Haha. I have a list of about 25 English lower league teams I won't bet on cos they screw me repeatedly. Leicester and Barnsley actually worry me today. Wee Rino seems to have AC building up a bit of form now.

Mainly odds on stuff again today as it has worked quite well the last few weeks. Big singles have been wiping me out then coupons building me back up. Reckon I paid for today by not betting on the Bears last night. I would have lost a fortune. Too nervous to bet on us any more.

If this Shinnie rumour is based on the nonsense on Twitter and FF last week, it was a wind up of the sheep. It was not based on anything.

Strict liability is already a burst balloon. No club will back it as it is both unenforceable and a ready-made excuse. The bigger question should always be, why are we even trying to eradicate sectarianism? All societies with a social, political or religious plurality are sectarian in nature. The question should be how do you manage that within acceptable boundaries of behaviour. The problem in Scotland is the country being run by a minority who believe name-calling by the majority outweighs physical violence by the favoured minority. People prepared to stab, throw bottles and destroy property to get their way are demented arseholes who would find any justification for their violence. People shouting naughty words and singing songs are generally those trying to get their thrills without crossing that boundary. Sorry, I may have wandered onto the wrong board😉. Politics is over that way you say?

Good luck😃. There are a lot of us in the same boat as you, just betting a bit here and there for the fun of it. Without wanting to sound like yer Dad, the bit I've put in bold is the key. I put a set amount in my account at the start of each season and try and stick within that. I allow myself to re-fill it once if necessary. Through sheer luck, I'm still running on the amount I put in at the start of the 15/16 season. And please, please, please don't turn into a "Match Day Thread Arsehole", who starts bitching about how shite Rangers are cos we didn't score 5 and fucked up their bet😖. There are a few of them...... I reckon you're in with a shout on all three scores above.

Belter. I landed a not so spectacular 10.............. I also had a ton on Shrewsbury at 21/20. They scored in 92nd minute, I cashed out immediately at £195, then goal chopped off and bookie sucks my happiness back out of my account a couple of hours later😭. Edit: forgot the four-fold with three of your selections: Man U, Luton and Sunderland. I added Wolves for a nice 5/1 approx.

I still remember the glory days when Walter had to solve that problem with Edu and Jig and treated us to a midfield containing both😉. Oh, how we laughed. Walter, you old joker, you.

Necrophobic imo.

Some amount of sad-sacks in our support.

Gerrard is not the problem. Too many piss-poor and weak-willed players is the problem. He needs another 12 months, I reckon, and we will start doing some serious damage. We're four or five players short yet.

Another good day today with a lot of cashing out and a couple of injury time winners from Charlton and Standard Liege making my day. Putting money on Liverpool as soon as they go a goal down is a bit of free money as well with their current form. In Play treble with Arsenal and Dortmund already in front was a wee bonus. If Watford and MK Dons had found their shooting boots, it would have been a much better day. Sorry for the big pic below, just gives an idea that there are a shitload of misses in amongst the gold. Just had a wee change in luck this weekend😃

Landed the first two with wee cowardly cash outs before Mechelen conceded a late equaliser to 9 men. £95 in, £262 out. Not spectacular, but decent.

Random pants tonight. Tried high odds coupons with small bets, singles with big bets and now trying low odds coupons with big bets (for me, anyway). Been pretty much level all season. Something's got to give. Norwich, Mechelen, Vitesse and Getafe - 30 returns 176 Bayern Munich, Genk, Braga and Porto - 25 returns 115 Palermo, Lille, Lorient - 40 returns 140

I can see the value of loaning him out again for the remainder of this season but we either have to take a chance on him next or let him go. I really like him and hope he makes it with us. He appears to have great instincts and natural ability. Imagine the pace and counter-attacking potential in a front three of Hardie, Kent and (by some miracle) Morelos next season.

This is the repulsive cunt who famously stated that £14000 a week might be an OK salary for a homeless person but wasn't good enough for him.

I think we'll split the points in the head-to-heads, maybe come away with four. The sheep will lie down to the beasts but the rest of the teams are all showing the ability to stand up to them occasionally. If we're within a couple of points, up or down, come the split, they'll crumble. I just don't think it will mean as much to their players.

I've got a few bets on us, from 9s down to 5s. The week before Christmas, the cashout offered on one of them was about £125, after the 29th it went up to about £270, after we signed Defoe and Davis, they're offering £400. The bookies see it coming.

Wouldn't drop anyone for Davis. Not a big fan of that signing, I'm afraid. Home games I would probably drop Candeias for Defoe but you then face the problem of changing formation or who plays wide right? Seem to remember Defoe has not performed as effectively out there but Morelos is so good through the middle, do you really want to move him? Tough decision. Away from home, depends on who we are playing.

Warburton was what we needed at the time. He brought some structure to the football side of the organisation and some professionalism in the initial hiring and definition of roles. We would be much stronger today if he was an option a couple of years earlier. However, longer term he proved to be tactically weak, a poor man-manager and made a catastrophic misjudgement in McParland. He was definitely more of a Director of Football than a manager. As a few have said above, both Warburton and Caixinha brought something to the club but nowhere near enough. Gerrard feels so much more like the real thing.

If Tavernier gets sold in the summer I actually think the natural replacement is Candeias, silly as it may seem. I actually think they're in each other's positions now. Tav has a better cross and shot on him, Candeias has better positional discipline and is actually a tougher tackler. They're both shite in the air, have great engines and a decent burst of pace when required. I love them both.

I hope that wee toy cooker beside the TV is for pointing at and asking his mum for his dinner.

That is brilliant. The wee gremlin absolutely shat it. Half the crowd behind it are pishing themselves😂
