Ipswich at 6.2 ???After yet another standard weekend of shit, with bets going down and Coventry failing to win (lucky to get a last minute draw) means it’s the usual early week update of me moaning again. Perhaps just as well that the new Credit Card didn’t arrive as I’d have managed to give it an early hammering.
There are some mid-week games this week that look tasty and I’m tempted with a decent single on Ipswich. Don’t get me wrong, they’re in disarray and have a cunt for a manager, but as one of the pre-season favourites for promotion and with some good players, then I don’t care how out of form they are, they should not be available at the quoted prices. The Championship is a league where on their day pretty much any team can beat another (I think currently there are about 14 teams separated by approx 5 points in the middle). Despite a poor start Ipswich are not that bad and having seen Sheffield United too, they’re not outstanding (Coventry beat them both!). SU have got home advantage, but Ipswich are available at over 5/1 and that price is simply wrong. Even if you think that they will lose then there is no way they should be that price and value should always be backed. I’m only a small/average punter, but has to be worth a ton in my book as there are very few games in that league (possibly Barnsley at St James) that should be quoted at those kind of odds. Don’t blame me if I’m wrong, hope you get on and we share some success.
Before I finish on football, I’m personally getting singled out and draped (it’s my new word for dreamteam rape) on my players scores. I’m actually doing ok mainly thanks to messes Rooney and Torres but each week I’m being victimised in the scoring. Fabregas keeps getting rated as a 6 (despite the scums sister paper NoTW rating him as a 7) and similar with Hart in goal. They took a goal off Turner a couple of weeks back and then this week made Keane the star player over Torres because he scored a penalty more. Torres hat-trick was far classier. I’ve got 390 points at the time of writing and second place in the works one with 60 odd people in so a few hopefully coming my way in May but if the cunts weren’t screwing me over I’m sure I would be leading. I’m being handicapped through my own fault too by selecting Walcott and he has yet to play this season. My team ‘Clingans on Ricoh’ is: Hart, Cahill, Ricketts, Turner, Bramble, Walcott, Fabregas, Gerrard, Owen, Torres and Rooney. Look out for me in May winning £100k :-)
I’ve dropped my parents and in-laws off at the airport this morning for a week away in Majorca. I’m fucking dreading it tbh. They have been away before but my M-in-law is a fucktard at the best of times (no 1970’s Les Dawson humour, she really is and I could dedicate a whole blog just to her) and I have a horrible feeling something will go tits up. If it does, then family parties back home could be a problem but we’ll worry about that if and when it happens.
Fucking robbing airport cunts even charge for a set-down now. I used to dump them outside departures and that was it, now they’ve changed it all around and I have to go into a car park and pay a quid for up to 15 minutes. I know it’s only a quid, but it’s a fucking cheek and as I had no idea and came out in shorts and tee shirt at that time of morning, I had no cash and it could have presented me with a problem. Fortunately my Dad was better prepared and knew about it and handed me a couple of coins. With the broken down charges from the budget airlines I bet the cunts would charge you for breathing oxygen if they thought it could be measured.
Anyhow at work and I guess I should probably do a bit, particularly as I was late in again. Good luck
