I wish I had this kind of power for real.

Though it worked in reverse vs Dortmund I do see what you mean.

Yeh i have no idea. Just a flat performance . It was s***. I thought he was warming up to Sturridge but after today i think his days at the club might be numbered.
He better play Sturridge next week or we are out.

This makes absolutely no sense to me. Even if you think he's too quick to take himself out due to injury, you need the away goal to get closer to the final. How does he not get on against a team that was ripe for the picking?

Yep it was a real head scratcher, then he puts on Benteke just to tell me i haven't a clue how to run a football team.
In the words of the great Austin Powers "I didn't see that coming"
Seemed to me was all the game needed was some talent on the pitch. A moment of brilliance. Sturridge is that player. instead they got it in the 92nd minute

5,000-to-1 odds at the start of the season. Incredible.

Ranieri proves nice guys can finish first. What a fairy tale.

What makes their Championship even more special is that supposedly they were on the cusp of being regulated from the EPL.

Odds were 5000-1 to win the BPL. Are you kidding me? Hazard's tying goal was a beauty, the thru pass, the 1-2, the finish...

In terms of passion nothing beats a Boca-River. Here are the top Derbies according to 4-4-2.

The longest odds of any single-bet winner in history, said one of the horse racing pundits last night, and the biggest single-event loss for the bookies in 20 years. Could have been worse, though. I read the other day about someone who had that bet, then cashed out after the 4-2 win against Sunderland. On the opening day. For a loss of 42p.

Apparently Ladbrokes are trying to track the man down to award him something, though short of a good slap I'm not sure what you'd give him.

Quote of the night came from ex-Leicester player and friend of Alan Shearer, Neil Lennon. "You won't see this again. 5000/1 to win the league...I mean, what are the odds?"

How much did he have on them to bottle out like that? It must have been quite a bit I'm guessing. :mrgreen:

Evidently 47 people made the bet and 25 of them took a payout of some sort during the season. Bookies took a 11.7 million pound loss on it.

Newcastle is f*cked. The Toon deserves to go down if they can only muster one point at Villa.

Ouch. The Toon has no one to blame but itself. Yeah, Krul's injury was a killer. But there's no way a team with this talent should be relegated.

The main reason was apathy that never was quelled by the feckless McClaren. By the time Rafa arrived, it was too late to make a difference.
