UEFA Cup

Pighead

Its been a bad week in Europe for Pighead with losses on Tuesday and Wednesday. Hopefully we can get a few quid back tonight. Uefa Cup getting down to the nitty gritty now so most teams are putting out strong sides tonight.

Fenerbache V Palermo:@5/6. After their meek surrender to Newcastle last time out I have to go against Palermo tonight. It seems they're not taking this competition too seriously. They've left some important players out of the squad for tonights match as they see Sundays match with Inter as the big game. Fenerbahce must win after losing their opening game. Their domestic form is decent as well(W4 D2). Their last 3 homes read 4-1 4-1 and 2-0. Home win for me.

Newcastle V Celta Vigo(Draw No Bet)@5/4: Celta are a decent side and in the past month they've beaten Deportivo Valencia and Real Madrid. After a bad start to the league they have risen to 11th place. Having drawn their opening match with Frankfurt they could do with a win tonight. Newcastle have an injury crisis with Damien Duff and Craig Moore (hamstring)
Stephen Carr (foot), Celestine Babayaro (groin), Olivier Bernard (hip), Shola Ameobi (hip) all out. Reckon Celta might nick this one. Taking DNB to be safe.

PSG V Hapoel Tel Aviv:@4/9--PSG have named virtually their strongest team for tonight.They lie 3rd in the group having played just 1 game, a win would put them in a great position to qualify and at the same time more or less eliminate Tel Aviv.

Thursdays Bets:
25 Points:Fenerbahce, Celta(DNB), PSG=5/1
10 Points: PSG(-1)@13/10, Celta(+1)@4/7, Fenerbahce, Maccabi Haifi@6/5=13.6/1

Good Luck to All.

PSG haven't read the scripts. Losing 2-0 after 6 minutes.

Chucky the tree

Celta 1-0 after 9.

fade2black

I've gone for ambitious bets tonight.

Rangers to draw. Newcastle to draw. Blackburn to draw. Treble.

PSG. Spurs. Parma. Treble.

I don't hold much hope.

fade2black

Rangers now losing 2-1 and I think PSG have scored....EDIT: They have...I was watching the Betfair market.

county

spurs 1 up

fade2black

Eventful night...think I better open up a bottle for myself. Rangers now drawing 2-2 and Parma having gone a goal down, are now drawing and PSG are now 2-2. It's mental how quick and on the ball the betfair punters are tonight.

Chucky the tree

managed to get psg when they were 2-1 down, just got out now.

county

just thrown a tenner on spurs and newcastle to draw,about eights with PP

fade2black

Blow the whistle now and my 3 draws bet is up. If only eh... PSG losing again. Cracker of a game.

fade2black

PSG losing 4-2. Oh well.

Oh my word, 1 out of 3! Thats kinda embarrasing. Next time I'm gonna do a Bateman and post me picks after the matches. Can't believe i didn't think of it earlier.

Shocking result for PSG tonight. Going 2 goals down once is bad enough, but twice!? Looks like PSG are gonna be joining MK Dons on Pigheads hitlist.(Although after last seasons game against Marseilles ballboys they really should have been there already)

fade2black

I was thinking the exact same thing. That's twice I've bet on PSG and twice I wished I'd watched Eastenders instead. (I think i was the omnibus episode for the last game)

Aye would have been alright, it was a bleak Sunday afternoon when they fcuked me over last time. Think it would have been circa the Mitchell Brothers returning to the square storylines. Anyway, horribly unlucky tonight fade. Damn those Newcastleonians!

fade2black

I'm well used to it Pighead. I knew one of them would score it was just a matter of which one. The typical gambler thoughts are going through my head now though...why didn't I put Fenerbache in instead of PSG.....

Pighead

We're a miserable lot, never happy and forever asking ourselves silly questions. Even when we win its "For fcuk sake why didn't I put more on it" or when our girlfriends find 6 month old dockets full of losing dockets from Ludlow and Wolverhampton its "Ah jesus, why the fcuk didn't I wash me jeans this year".

Pigheads New Year Resolution is to become The Happy Gambler.

lol

Touche, is all I'll say.
