No - he sets the odds on football games. He mainly does golf but also does football. Remember the Bellamy golf celebration in Barca - a lot of traders made a hell of a lot of money on that as they heard he was going to do it if he scored. They got odds of 100-1

AdamS - heard it from 2 different sources. First heard it from a mate who is well in with West Ham officials. Did not think anything of it - sour grapes etc. That was about 3 weeks ago. Then also heard it today from a different mate who works as a football trader in Malta.

I have heard from a few people that he is unhappy and will be off in the summer. Would hate to see him go.

My mate is working in Athens at the moment. I got him to ask if there was any accomodation left. The receptionists response - "you can still get accommodation out of the Town center in Kefecia". Not got a clue where that is but it may help.

Just had some cash on us to "win to nil" at 2/1

I have Sky HD - would not really bother to be honest with the HD. Extra tenner a month and not really worth it. Sky compared to cable is no contest. The Sky programme selector is also vastly superior. Make sure you get Sky+

Not too sure mate - I have a Northern Irish plate that cost me 600 quid. Now worth nearer £1500. Just masks how old the car is (K reg) - nothing more to it

The thing I noticed about Arsenal more than anything is that most of them are pure athletes. Toure, Gallas, Eboe etc - it is the way the Premiership has been going for a while now. Pace and power first and foremost. The days of good journeyman like Zenden are looking gone. Could you imagine Molby playing in that midfield - it would pass him by.

My game is still in a state of shock after that. First time in my life where you have to take the wind into account when chipping. Good day though

I play off 10 but after Sats game up at Southport, make that 36. Taking into account the wind for chips from 25 ft takes some beating

I really do not understand why he has to do these daily press conferences. You only see Wenger on a Friday when they are contractually bound, or before Champions League. By all means speak to journalists but there is no need to do a staged conference every day - only so much you can say.

Just cos you got up early this morning to go swimming. That will not last son. You can start by doing the gardening - wont cost you a penny and you will feel great afterwards. Yours Housemate

Weeksie - I completely agree. I normally think the Sky commentary is OK but I nearly popped a vain yesterday. And its not just the commentators. What were the video tape editors upto on the sending off? At full speed, even I saw that Bollock had the purple mist after the earlier challange a few seconds before from Momo. Not once did we see a replay far enough back to show this. And this Alan Smith says the decision was harsh. I nearly lost it at that stage.

The vast majority on this forum would not pass it around but it only takes 1 person and the whole thing would be around before you knew it. And with Daves problems about the Carragher quotes, I would say pdf is not the way forward.

Disagree with the pdf way. Think you will lose out in the long run as thieving gets will simply pass the pdf round t'Internet and all and sundry will be reading it for free. In terms of postage, definitely look at other options. Every year end, I have to send around 4000 A4 statements out to clients. We save about 50% by using an external company rather than posting them through normal Royal Mail.

Jacksonc - I will take it off your hands - I will PM you

Quite happy with that from a Liverpool viewpoint - less for Gerrard to worry about

Stu - I will be with JoeyB staying at some hotel in Cardiff. I am taking my car down - you are welcome to leave your stuff in my car if you want.

Juve fans were not that bothered when Zidane went to Real. For Shevchenko, was saying the same thing last night. A mate of mine has been staying in Milan for the last 6 months and went to a fair few games. He was a big Shevchenko fan beforehand, but was completely unimpressed by him in the games he saw. Did not think he did that much in Istanbul either.

10,15 Highlights on Sky Sports 1. Not on live though, unless you stream it of course

Jesus this boy is playing well by the sounds of it. He had better get a permit. http://football.guardian.co.uk/continentalfootball/story/0,,1760280,00.html Results: Villarreal 0 - 2 Real Sociedad [This is getting silly. Mark González does it yet again] Alavés 0 - 1 Atlético Celta 4 - 0 Zaragoza Cádiz 1 - 1 Deportivo Espanyol 2 - 0 Betis Athletic 0 - 3 Valencia [David Villa just gets better and better] Mallorca 0 - 1 Osasuna Racing 1 - 3 Getafe Madrid 2 - 1 [López Caro says Madrid were "brilliant". He needs sectioning] Sevilla - Barcelona, suspended

A decent site to check out different odds with different bookmakers is http://www.oddschecker.com/ You should really open up a few accounts and take the best price on offer

When Duff left Blackburn, he was one of the top 3 wingers in the world. You could not say that now. Lampards bird is from Barcelona is'nt she - could be putting the hammer down.

JoeyB (Bri) is the one who should be watching out as he is on a self inflicted 3 week alcohol free period whereas I am on the lash tonight and will be getting in steaming.

There are also a lot of avid readers like myself who read daily a lot of the threads but do not actually post very often. So the stats will be misleading from that point of view.
