Fundamentally, this team doesn't have what it takes in terms of experience and leadership through the middle of the park. And that is frankly inexcusable when the problem has existed for three seasons in succession now.

It's not that you can't win anything with kids. It's that you can't win anything when you only have kids.

reviews seem good for this one.. havent read it myself

Cheers - that's the best I've seen so far. I'll check in when I get up later to see if anyone else has a recommendation before I pull the trigger on Amazon.

Sergio Ramos drops cup. Crushing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=329C1ZZff10

Ramos is renowned for being more or less retarded but to be fair to him he was fairly awesome last night.

I was in Cibeles last night but have no memory of seeing the team, let alone seeing Ramos drop the trophy. I hate Real Madrid, and I only went to Cibeles because my madrid-supporting friend said it would be good craic, but I have to say they put on a good session when they win.

Watched Game of Thrones again last night on Sky Anytime. I'd highly recommend watching it again for anyone who like me hasn't read the books and was a little confused.

SPOILER

For instance, I didn't get the relevance of the sister's letter the first time around, I didn't realise the Qeen and her twin brother had killed the King's hand. Knowing that added so much depth to the story. Also, when the King is talking to Stark about Stark's sister's death, he mentions the Targaryens were responsible. The evil exiled prince and his sister are Targaryen.

Also, I was wondering are the twins having sex to create an heir or are they simply lovers? *

*edit, hypothetical Q, don't want a spoiler

iam surprised jim corr hasn't got anything up about it yet

It really is not a series you can dip in and out of alright. I read somewhere recently that there were over 1000 named characters in the books to date, which is quite incredible really.

Just placed my bet in Boyles on the IO for interest. Blaaa @ 200/1 e/w for 10 euro. Just wondering what the payout is if he were to win/go out first on the FT?

<<<< bookies noob

I'm not sure about Boyles, but Paddy Power are just paying the top 5 at 1/4 of the odds

so if he wins..you get 5x200 = €1000 + 5x50 = €250

€1250 profit + your €10 back

if he comes 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th..you get 5x50 = €250

€250 profit + your €5 back

That's if you backed it €5 e/w , which it looks like you did.

lol same recipe....

yes they may have the same recipe but anytime i've been to tribeca there is a lack of sauce at the bottom of my wings. I like the wings because of the sauce being cheated outta sauce to dip my chips into means alot to me hense they are poor mans E&C wings. They are not the only restaurants to have the recipe. I was at Hartleys at the weekend and they had them, infact they were the poor mans Tribeca wings but their rib eye made up for it.

I've already posted in BBV the secret to the sauce, I make them myself at home all the time, i even went out and bought a deep frier when i found out the recipe to get the wings good and crispy. Its not rocket science just ask Frank.

[The C Kid]

Im safely ensconced indoors watching the Padres v Cubs baseball. And watching the snooker on the live ticker scoreboard.

Now can anyone sus what this docket is about?. Found it crushed up against my door at work and had a curious gander but cant make head nor tail of it. My best guess is its a lotto bet,maybe a dogs reverse forecast based on the time placed but i have no clue really. Maybe Careca with his union jacks and patents will know this right off.
Out of curiosity any degens able to identify or decode what this bet could be on?

I reckon it's a dog race. There was an 11:11 race at Sheffield on the 18/4. So surely some kind of forecast.

But my bookmaking mate reckons it's that rapido thing. You know the heads and tails number thing? Apparently 12 draws a day and all in morning so D 11 could be Draw 11!

The mystery is deepening.

Damn wished we could have left it at that. Rapido is now a possibility as there are 90 numbers in that but just checked and the first draw was on at 12.49

Winner (makes a change AJ) imo

Actually on second look it does look a little more like an S than a R and would make more sense in terms of the stake(not doubling as in a rfc)

Rounders you should go into the PP shop closest to where you found it and ask the cashier. If it's from one of their regs they'll know straight away.

This looks like a double on the two numbers in the lunchtime 49ers imo, watever time they are on at these days i aint sure, could be 1.11 or else 11.11

Or does Rapido still go on? It could be a double on one of those things, i think they used to go up to 80 or something

The 49s are on at 12.49 and 5.49 so no luck there either.

It's almost defo rapido

It's 100% Rapido. It's a €3 euro double on 67 and 51 in Draw 11 of rapido on the 18/4. Draw 11 took place at 11:06 that day.

Case solved at fucking last. Thanks to my mate who works for Ladbrokes for going back through the draws on the system to find the time of the draw lol!

[Dice75]

Thanks for that. No i stuck 20 on it, 10 e/w.

Did a few on Boyles, think e/w is Top 6.

[Raoul Duke III]

the degen in me is obviously receding as I have no idea what Rapido is

Was looking for that the other day, but couldn't remember who posted it - any chance you could repost recipe?

available in Superquinn and other stores I'm sure,
It will take you a few goes to get the balance and personal spicy level right but just mix with melted butter

I expect some stirring tales of epic suckouts on Tuesday

[The Situation]

It's just like an early morning lottery thing to pass the time before the Dogs/racing start. People only usually bet on heads or tails in rapido. Red numbers are heads and blacks are tails. It's pretty awful tbh. Give me a virtual race over it anyday

about

and is he having a 3 double on two single numbers out of 100

[The C Kid]

So what's the
1)
about

and is he having a 3 double on two single numbers out of 100
Degens LOL

The 1) is a D for draw, so draw 11. I think there's 80 numbers, 20 get drawn and he needs the two to come out for a 12/1 winner.

[The Situation]

I see Kenny intends on keeping Aquilani next season after his loan finishes. Clever move because he's >>>>>>>>Charlie Adam. He's had a mainly injury free season this year for the first time in about four years and he's been Juve's best player by a distance. Himself and the ever improving Lucas will make a really good central midfield partnership imo.

[tipp86]

Good man Dom. I should be there from bout 2ish tomorrow - unless anyone is heading up earlier tomorrow from Waterford that fancies giving me a spin?

Il be heading up earlier from Clashmore so if you could get somewhere like Dungarvan i could pick ya. Id prob be leaving about 9 tho so may be a bit early for ya aswell.

There is a good few Dungarvan lads going up so maybe if you said it to Anthony or Colin one of that crew might be going through the city to get to Dublin. Im personally taking the Dublin- Cork road as its a dream road.

I would love to have him back but some of that is just posturing on Kenny's part to make Juve aware we won't be playing ball on the price as they have been giving signals in the press lately that they want to negotiate the price down further. If they cough up the agreed upon price then we have no choice but to sell him as part of one of the worst deals of all time when we loaned him to them.

Where'd you see that? I'd love if we kept him, wasn't overly confident we would though. If Juve meet the agreed asking price I don't think we have any choice but to let him go.

Oh didn't know he had future buy out clause as part of the loan deal. How much is it for??

As RDIII says, it's a magnificently run club. Arsenal spent £390m on the new stadium. They made about £120m from selling the old Highbury as luxury apartments. Emirates paid upwards of £150m to have their name on the stadium for 15 years. All money was paid upfront giving us a nice fund to build the stadium the way Arsenal (and Arsene Wenger in particular) wanted. When the naming rights are up, someone is going to have to pay another £70m+ to have their name on the stadium.

It's a 60,000 seater with 50,000 seats on the ground and top tiers. The 2nd and 3rd tiers have 10,000 seats and Arsenal make more money from those seats than they did from the whole of Highbury. The 2nd tier has 7k seats and you'll pay between £2k-£4.5k for a season ticket. The 3rd tier has 3k seats and these are sold to businesses and companies in groups of 10-14 seats and they can pay up to £150k for the privilege. There's also weddings, parties etc held on these floors and there's daily events on that bring money into the club. We're also the official European home of Brazil football club and they've played 6 times there i think.

The stadium is bringing a massive amount of money into the club and once the debt is cleared off, that will largely be profit. When you add the sales from players, club shirts, the shop, restaurants etc we're in a really good financial position and don't rely on a sugar daddy like Chelsea/Man City

Does £150m for 15 years seem like a shit deal to anyone else?
Arsenal also not getting good deals for their shirts imo, Nike (£8m/pa), Emirates (£6m/pa). Compare these with other teams and they are pretty laughable. Also don't they not even get the full cut from their stores?

Liverpool - Adidas (£12m/pa) rising to £15m when the deal ends supposedly and Standard Charter (£20m/pa).

United - Nike (£25m/pa) and Aon (£20m/pa).

Chelsea - Adidas (was £10m/pa) and Samsung (was £11m/pa) but both have been renewed and the current values aren't known but I guess they've increased.

Spurs - Autonomy (£20m/pa), Investect (£5m/pa plus bonuses), Puma (£5m/pa). Spurs changing to Under Armour worth £10m/pa next season.
