[England Squad just announced for world cup qualifiers]

England Squad just announced for world cup qualifiers

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (West Ham, on loan from Manchester City), Fraser Forster (Southampton), Jack Butland (Stoke) Jordan Pickford (Everton)

Defenders: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Aaron Cresswell (West Ham), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Harry Maguire (Leicester), John Stones (Manchester City), Michael Keane (Everton), Chris Smailling (Manchester United), Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Tottenham)

Midfielders: Eric Dier (Tottenham), Fabian Delph (Manchester City), Jake Livermore (West Brom), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Dele Alli (Tottenham)

Forwards: Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Jermain Defoe (Bournemouth), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)

Jo Hart 1-7 and Livermore Evens now so value gone

Oxladie Chamberlain looks way too short at  4-7 also Lingard at Evens looks skinny

Fabian Delph included and still 8 /10 -1 could be interesting if he gets Man City game time

good luck all   ,  over and out  x

My lack of knowledge on Greek mythology has always been my Achilles Elbow..

Bravo also   

I asked my Welsh friend how many sexual partners he'd had but before he could answer he fell asleep.

Class   

The games are fucking great again though.

All the break even / low win rate mass grinders have moved to party poker to push stacks to each other for a  40% rake back reg-fest.

Replaced by people who barely know the rules or who have negraneaus 2004 small ball strategy down pat

I take it you are talking about cash games ?

As a tournament player basically there is nothing in the way of a loyalty bonus anymore just flashing lights , the treasure chest thing is ludicrously insulting

also they have made changes and set limits to transfers from dollars to £ within the bank so you get fucked twice badly on deposits /withdrawals  

When will it stop ?  unfortunately its still the best site for tournaments and software

Not content with just fucking players on the super Nova elite programme

The new " treasure chest " promotion takes away another  90% of the rake back that remained

Surprised it hasn't been highlighted more

Set of thieves

Good Performance against Man Utd

Think Newcastle will find it difficult to create many chances against a strong Stoke defence

6-4 Stoke draw no bet seems value Arb  ?

you know something unprecedented has happened when you hear singing coming from the home end at arsenal...

missed this little gem

You're about 3/4 years behind me in the queue

As Mark says Ralph I wouldn't take it personally , given the number of communications he receives not just on Blonde I would guess 90% dont get an answer ,  true Pads ?  ( silly to ask  )

hes a nice honourable geordie lad with good intentions , he just needs a PA

i can see a pattern emerging here

Care to alaborate?

The classic signs of a gamblers lifestyle , ground breaking

"Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JP Morgan, says bitcoin is a fraud that is only fit for use by drug dealers, murderers and people living in North Korea. He’s right."

It may turn out that bitcoin bombs but its just irresponsible journalism not to have a balanced argument and look at the merits of its potential success

written by Nils Pratley...surname kind of says it all

Arb...you should seriously get in touch with them and offer  a realistic view from a punters perspective ? because these writers are basically not knowledgeable on the industry

I'd be grateful for views on Watford away at Southampton.

They are 5/1 - looks a big price to me.

Any views from Southampton fans about their start to season?

Great shout. Watford were absolutely fantastic and will cause a lot of teams problems. Southampton absolutely terrible.

The Doucoure/Chalobah partnership is as good as anything outside the top 4 imo as a base.

Dung ,How about some 9-1 Watford  draw no bet against Man City at home next weekend  ? The City result against 10 man Liverpool could of been flattering

Because of my parents....

I went to the church playschool as a baby / infant

I attended church from 4 years old until the age of 13/14 and sat through numerous services and teachings

I was a member of the cubs and the scout group linked to the same church ( which was a Christian organisation with regular prayer sessions )

i attended the church Christian youth club

I was confirmed in the same Church at 14

Later in life I actually got married in the same church ( very beautiful building so like many I got married there for the wrong reasons )

As you can see from above I was exposed to a lot of church life in my youth which certainly taught me certain "values" but I can say I am not a practicing Christian or a church goer , in fact my experiences made me feel that Christianity and the bible was too intense " repent and turn to god or else " type rhetoric's  didn't sit too well with me !

My brother currently sends his 4 year old son to the local C & E school because it has the best exam results , but because he was exposed to the same childhood as myself he hasn't a problem with whatever the school teach or preach his boy.

I dont regret my church childhood because it has had more a positive than negative experiences

As a punter and poker player I wont be wearing a dog collar anytime soon ( though I do say little prayers now and again when all in )

As regards the school giving out a bible , So What ? its a C of E School thats what they do , see it as just part of lifes rich tapestry and no doubt your child will grow up drawing her own conclusions.

Got to go now and register for my next poker tournament

Peace x

I don't expect this instagram to get much media coverage as it doen't quite fit their narrative.

Fan-bloody-tastic.

The whole world knows he aint happy. every gesture on and off the field,including, oh yes, a transfer request, and Ralph thinks everyone has an agenda, and in actual fact, all is well.

Tikay must have him on a retainer.

 wibble wibble...

As per usual angst gets his facts wrong - what transfer request was that then?

Boo Hoo.

Ralphy trying to get out on a technicality.

Did he not request to leave Ralph?!! You seem to have all the inside moles and so much more info than anyone bar AW. Whatever... Im sure we all read, heard etc that he said he wanted to leave.....maybe I was dreaming, and he said he was delightfully happy at Arsenal and was keen to stay, and possibly over the next week sign a new 5 year contract??


I was going to compare you to Mel Gison in Conspiracy Theory, but he turned out to be right. You my old friend are most certainly not.

Probably best to just say you are like a dog with a bone, who growls and gets nasty when anyone comes close to threatening his cosy little set up.

 

It's actually you that turns nasty angsty and resorts to personal insults when your unresearched "facts" are exposed as being mere flatulence.

I'm not even sure why you chose to get involved as I was talking about the media re. Alexis looking happy in an Arsenal shirt and looking forward to tomorrow's game.

I guess the gun pointed at his head was photoshopped out.

Ralph , I can only admire your persistence defence of Arsene & Arsenal  even in these times of severe adversity   

I wouldn't want to be betting Man Utd @1-2 away from home at Stoke...thoughts Arb ?

Fraser millions moving markets again!

Stoke at 4-1 at home Draw no bet with VC seems far better than Man Utds skinny price
