@Craig-Greenway what have you seen my friend
-
@GREGORIOS-KARASHIALIS no not a big fan off la liga tbh. I missed the roma game. Got a few games I've got my eye on today.
-
@Mark-Maguire I agree. I’m not a city fan either but Guardiola needs a bit more respect than just saying it’s all about the money.
Liverpool and Klopp may have been more selective but they still spent vast fortunes on most of the key pillars of their team.
His influence on the league is ridiculous as well. Virtually every team tries to play out from the back now largely because of him. And a number of the next wave of highly regarded managers seem to be connected with him in some way as well (Arteta, Maresca, Alonso)

@Craig-Greenway morning mate, I missed that, I was in the gym.....
did you get involved last night with LAliga & Serie A -
@Martin hey MartIn - back after a hiatus - 100 hour weeks in a job in France .. now back at my desk and on it full time - hello to those I've crossed paths with before and those who I havent .. Im Mark, currently full time trading , working on a football project which may stop me doing so from March but hope to prove to myself that I dont need that by succeeding full time on this between now and then

@Ryan typical that I wait months to post on here for something I can argue with you about
Re Pep I think cheque book manager is too simplistic - my measure of a manager has always been how do they improve players - City spent a fortune but prior to the likes of Grealish at 100m they tended to buy players for 50 to 60 where other teams (United in particular) were paying double for worse..
My natural position is to hate City .. Shiteh as we Stockport fans call them but if you look at how he's improved players over the years .. and the work ethic he's established then you can only admire it .. De Bryne, Foden, Stones, Mahrez, Silva x 2 , etc etc look at their development under Pep .. in the same way as you can immediately say Slot is decent when you look at the difference in Gravenberg..
I think the problem at City now are down to the fact that Pep and his Mate (director of football)probably planned to leave this season and let the age of the squad drift - and brought in short term fixes like Haaland ... incredible record but when your backs against the wall how much does he work for the team ? Pep was close to taking England - changed his mind and now has to buy into the whole re build thing - but to be fair he's changed football in England and deserves some credit?

@Liam-Mcnee thanks for the heads up Liam, il take a look.

-
@Ross-Collins https://www.football-data.co.uk/data.php
I used this site for a lot of my strategies. They have the data going years back including the odds. Hope that helps mate.
-
@Craig-Greenway good pick
-
Chelmsford v Boreham wood FHG Ais my next trade.
-
Next im on Villa u21 v Norwich u21 FHG. Again odds start low so will back as odds improve.
-
Next trade im monitoring is Fenebahce v Gaziantep SHG. Odds currently low so will wait a little as usual.
-
@GREGORIOS-KARASHIALIS yeah managed to get 1.67 odds in the end. Was really confident off goal.
-
@Craig-Greenway is it coming? you still pressing? i will join you on this one, come on!
-
Evening guys. Poor evening yesterday. Got a few trades I'm liking the look off this evening.
1st is Al Wasl v Al Rayyan which is at HT at min. SHG is what I'm backing and slowly putting stake in as odds improve as always. -
That said, I wonder if they'll end up doing something special in Jan this time.
-
@Ryan I agree to an extent for but the injury crisis really isn't that bad in Manchester is it. Playing wthout Rodri has made them look not just ordinary but weak.
Amazing player but it's not like they don't have immense depth.

Just back from Disneyland Paris were my daughter was performing two shows.
Let's make some money for Christmas / New Year!
