Good grief, Norway made hard work of that. Made a tidy little profit with that, didn't stick a ton on though!

Just had £75 on Barca to beat Gimnastic at 5/6

Am I missing something here-surely even without their superstars they should beat Gimnastic

Any luck?

[Head Honcho]

Any luck?

Nah

.......but the two winners gave me a 36/1 double and just had another bet with first two horses winning at 8/1 and 7/4

Third runner just won at 7/2 so all I need now is Soft Morning for all four in a yankee.

Kazakhstan 2 - 2 Belgium

Another pools buster. Thnk god I didnt bother with the Belgians.

Nice one.

I have had a look through the list at http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/buildcoupo...hoice=FB1725560 and although there are some enticing so called guaranteed bets, I always come unstuck with International football and one lets me down. With that said, the gambler in me cant help but to have a go but I`ll drop the stake to a £30 win accumulator to win £107.45 back.

Ive gone for all home teams with Turkey, Lithuania, Bosnia, France and Portugal. There are some dodgy ones in there as I especially want Scotland to get at least a draw at France as well as Bosnia and Portugal being far from consistent! It would be wrong to be selfish and have money in my pocket when I can hand it over to the under privileged people at William Hill. Every little helps.

Oh Dear. Bosnia losing and Turkey drawing

Why oh why oh why dont I listen to myself and dont waste money on International football?!

Not only am I now replying to my own messages, I am also talking to myself and having a go for not listening to myself. I think I am nuts.

It's jsut too tempting isn't it win a few and think you're getting good at it, then you get robbed by some dodgy result.

Ive had 50p on Owen fgs and 2-0, and Gerrard lgs and 3-0 £13 and £15 returns respectively . Not that either of them will come off.

I think more of my selections lost than won - Thankfully I didn't bet as much as I do on domestic games but what is annoying is that these International games are all fooked up and you get a high percentage of weird results and I shouldnt have bet a penny on them. Its only the greed that kicked it that forced mw to have a gamble.

Unlucky on your bet mate. If only Russia had a half decent keeper it would have stayed at 2-0.

CHasing the bet, never a good thing, especially in international football because as you say, you get so many unexpected results, best jsut to leave well alone. Easier said than done though

And yeh I know, I was gutted when he stuck it in

[Bert]

I wonder how many people France focked over.

I had £2 on owen to score 1st at 9/2.

If Rio hadn't have scored would've been £13 more.

Same

Nice one on the Owen bet btw.

Probably a fair few would have been done by France, I was considering a bet on a draw thinking scotland might play well and grind out a draw, turns out they went one better

Is there a market open for how long Megson will be in charge. Not because I want him out already, I'm not keen on his appointment but I honestly want to give him a chance and obviously want him to do well, but It's more a case of how long I think Milan will be settled for before he decides he wants to shake things up a bit and wants a bit of media spotlight for himself!

[Head Honcho]

Had the first three at Wolverhampton tonight but may have made a boo boo as I did a 3 horse trixie instead of a 4 horse yankee for a change, so although I have £20 on Measured response in the 4th I'll still be gutted

I`ll cheer it on for you mate.

Matt, dont be daft! How can you want someone out who has at time of writing this has done nothing wrong?!

Im £110 up on poker today so have stopped. I may play a big comp somewhere online later but for now I have had enough.

Where in the following statement did I say I want him out? I was wondering about the odds because as I said in the quote below, its a case of how long Milan will let it settle until he gets bored and fancies a change around?! I mean come off it 3 years? It's almost impossible for Milan to be or let something settle especially managerial wise for that long, isn't it?! 3 fecking months is long enough for Milan.

I'm not happy with the appointment because I believe Allen should still be here but I still want Megson to do well and will give him a chance.

I did enjoy Megsons little joke about a long term contract though

Yep, I'd bet that was the first slap on the wrist from Milan.

Do you ever stop moaning?

I hope Milan turns up at your house tomorrow and gives you a slap.

South Africa to win between 21-25 points £10 at 13/2

[Fez of Mahrez]

Have put a pound on every 3pm kickoff in the Championship today ending up 2-2 at 14/1.

There were two 2-2s in the opening two rounds of games and although there have been none in the last two, there were three 2-1s and three 3-2s in the third week and two 2-1s and two 3-2s in the fourth week.
