The Bear

I wouldn't say Humphries is unpopular. Just a little vanilla compared to others. And the sudden emergence of Littler has taken all eyes off him right at the point he has become World Champion as well.

Chris Rock must be expensive!

I managed to login during the last race. In between races it just falls over. Obviously been hammered on that offer by punters and Matched Betters alike. Got in long enough to check all my free bets have been applied to my account. So will login late tonight once it's quiet and everyone's in bed.

I can sort of understand why. Seems quiet and understated in his demeanor and celebrations, steady player. Never that flashy seemingly. I like him personally but the drunkards that attend these events prefer someone a bit more animated.

I was doing alright last night actually. Had two Freezes in play in the Eerste Divisie with Dordechts and Top Oss. One of my bankers let me down though. I was tempted to take the cash out on them both just after half time which would have paid about £18 instead of £28 full return. But since they were all off free bets (Sky Bet Club) I let them run.

Course seems very wet. Official going of Soft/Heavy but will likely be Heavy. Opens things up a bit.

Just some horses that will all lose. Same as last year.

Correct. They are changing it to align with UEFA's FFP rules of 70% of revenue.

100% agree. I want to hear the actual actor I'm watching, not some random bloke in a room.

One of the refs already told him to get lost when he tried to go into the referee's room to speak to them at a ground last week.

I agree. I sometimes despair at the dumb comments you get back during a conversation. Or you talk about a topic and then they ask a question that's already been answered because they just weren't listening properly.

Awful weekend of results for the Acca Freeze system. Upped my stakes to £2 each but 0/16 for outsiders scoring first. Which is quite a mental statistic. Pretty much all of them conceded early and went on to lose easily/heavily. Reims managed it away at PSG but their odds were too poor for me to back them. Hopefully just a blip weekend and statistically unlikely, but big picture I only lost half my winnings from last weekend. The bookies must have lost a bundle on football this weekend with so many short priced favourites winning.

Plus they play each other a few days later.

Everybody's foot is off rhe floor when making challenges. Unless they're sliding along ploughing a furrow.

I know. A lad I know went to the Wolves game yesterday and sent me a load of videos on whatsapp when he got back. I was like, yeah I already watched everything in HD pal.

Standard.

They were first half and should have been 2-0 up easily. But we were miles better second half. Upped our tempo for the first 10 mins and pressed them into mistakes that led to the first goal. We were pretty comfortable after that. They created very little until the consolation goal at the very end.

Yes O'Neil has them playing for him and each other in a way that we haven't had since Nuno, and the team spirit is superb right now. Even with a raft of injuries other players are stepping up, particularly the unsung heroes in CM (Gomes and Lemina) and Ait-Nouri at LB. As an aside it'd be nice to see Brentford go down next season. Without Toney they could well struggle. They are a real snidey, time wasting team. Even yesterday against Arsenal they were taking 2 mins for every throw and GK. They get rightly lauded for their recruitment but Frank has them playing like a Pulis or Allardyce team, shit housing their way to results, even against the lesser teams in the division.

Leclerc does some sim racing on the side too.

I got through it all but it's one of those weird films where the director wants to be artsy for the sake of it and the characters are just too weird to be properly engaging. I can't imagine me ever watching it again.

Iwobi has an unfathomable record of scoring against us. Yet he's absolute doggo most of the time.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through it right now on Disney+. It's VERY weird. The fact I'm on my phone during it tells you what I think about it.

Personally I think dark energy is just microscopic inflation as new space-time emerges on the boundaries of the expanding universe. If it's an inherent and emergent property that new space inflates, then that would explain both the early and current inflation. Early one inflated vastly because of the amount of space packed into the tiny baby universe, and when that is smeared out over the edges of this huge universe it's just fast enough to accelerate the expansion. All pie in the sky but there you go. I think once we get a proper quantised gravitational theory then inflation/dark energy will pop out of the equations as a quantized inflational field that interacts with space, much like relativity and space-time did for Einstein, and the Higgs field did for Peter Higgs.

Nothing wrong with it IMO. Especially as he's the first Asian guy to ref a PL match.

Getting shit all luck this weekend. Of the 7 outsiders I've gone for so far EVERY single one of them has conceded in the first 10 mins I guess the probabilities make this happen on occasion. Only need one win every few weeks to wipe all the losses out though.
