Yeah so I saw on the news....and still not getting better for the poor ol Swans....Liverpool mullered them!
I wonder how many matches will be able to go ahead this weekend, given some of the pitches are currently snowed up!

True....and I dare say more deserving of a decent wage than these over-paid ballers!
I'll be wending my way to Swansea on Tuesday evening to see them play Spurs. As the Liberty Stadium is on the Neath Road, it'll almost be like going home.
How do you think they'll fare against the Spurs?
theDuke wrote: "How do you think they'll fare against the Spurs?"As much as I like them, Duke, I might even call them my 2nd team if one can have such a thing, I think (and hope) that they'll get a 3-0 spanking.

Hmmm. :-/
Happy New Year, everyone.Well the Christmas punt certainly shook things up a bit! It's now pretty tight at the top,
An excellent effort of 42 from one of the new boys, Graeme, earns him a "virtual" bottle of bubbly and catapults him to the top of the standings but not by much.
Runner up on 39 was Sussex who gets himself a huge pile of roast potatoes and parsnips to wade through.
Joint third were SJ and Deano on 33. They get to share a luxury Christmas Pudding.
Very well played those four.
The remaining punters get a couple of Brussels sprouts each. I'm more than happy to take them off your hands if you're not keen.

sad to see the attitude of the 'big 6' and other premier league teams toward the f.a. cup. seems like it's as valued now as the league cup has been for years. i.m.o., the premier league is killing english football. the ridiculous money involved, too many non-english players (which also harms the national team) and coaches, who have little notion of the previous history of the 2nd oldest cup competition in the world! it would appear that only league 1 and 2, and non-league teams take the competition seriously. sad. in fact, to my mind, the premier league's reputation is based on the few games where the big 6 play each other (i mean, watford v stoke? bournemouth v brighton? ain't gonna set the heather on fire, are they? rant over, carry on!

Great punting by Graeme and thanks for your hard work with the maths Sussex. Hope that you enjoyed some festive football

I got to see plenty of games over the holiday period including last Thursday's, about which you're probably a lot happier than I am.

Tech - I can't see much difference between the Premier League and any other top European league. You could argue we are lucky to have a top six, most have between 1 and 3 teams who could expect to challenge for the top spot. The difference between the top 6 and the rest of the league in terms of quality, points and goal difference does seem to be widening. However has there ever been a time when matches between teams, other than those challenging for the title, were of interest to anyone beyond supporters of the clubs involved?
Well....three weeks worth of games and I score 18 points! 6 points per week...wot a load of poo!Ah well...here's hoping things improve:

no saying it's any worse or better than anywhere else, philip, just sad the way the domestic trophies have been reduced to almost worthless side-shows to the e.p.l.. i mean, we've got a one team league up here, and they wouldn't feature in the top half of the e.p.l., and rangers would get pumped by everybody, but the cups are still a big deal, even the league cup! .......and i wouldn't wish partick thistle v hamilton on anybody! :)
you mean the harry wraggs, the maryhill magyars? - makes them sound almost exotic - they ain't! :)
Sussex is correct, my logic was that once we return to normal punting a good punt would increase the reward.
