Interesting article on wickham. Think the author rights a lot of shite but a few gems in there.

Sunderland is surely whether dick can get rid of the culture there this season.

This is a great post and is what TFT was originally all about exposing info that the market doesn't know.  Great post Horsey.  I have no idea who the blogger is but the story totally stacks up over the past few years performance wise with Johnson with under age girls and the casino £50 notes in the air nonsense from a couple of Sunderland players at the xmas party in Aspers in Newcastle (that is just what the public has seen so god knows what has happened behind closed doors).  This has just tipped me over the edge and had a max bet on Sunderland at 9/4 to go down.  I can't possibly have a soon to be retiring foreign manager with no experience of the EPL ever sorting out this kind of culture in a northern club where EPL footballers spending power locally is even more incredible than in london or the South East.  I didn't know about the drinking culture at Sunderland when i put up the to finish bottom bet earlier but we should be having £400 at 9/4 on Sunderland to go down.  £400 at the current fred bankroll is a max bet (assuming we have a circa £8k bankroll) i think fred actually has more so it is comfortably within bank roll constraints although it might raise a few eyebrows from the boss.  I nearly put up a max at 9/4 earlier before i saw Horsey's thread.

I don't think Wickham leaving is going to change the drinking culture at Sunderland.  I really can't imagine he is the 'gazza' of the team causing the problem.

in terms of working capital the bank is far smaller, and £400 is too big given requirements elsewhere

i've done what is still a sizeable bet in terms of the portfolio

 To Be Relegated - 2015/16 Sunderland (Specials - Specials) Odds: 9/4 Stake: 200.00 Possible Return:  650.00 

I think that makes sense, Rich, we need to leave room for all the other stuff that is going to come in, not to mention Lord Chomps who will doubles suggest we "flick in a few hundo" on this & that, including his reality tv nonsense.

I'm happy to top up any accounts as necessary, just let me know if need be, but we need to keep some balance & some spare lolly, especially as we'll be doing a lot of stuff that will tie up cash for 9 months.

A nice spread of stuff from as many people as possible, ideally, & that'll set us up nicely for the season.

Tighty - how are you feeling about Leicester.  I've seen quite a few tipsters now predict them to go down, but I suspect it is just anti-Ranieri sentiment as opposed to proper evaluation of the playing squad.  Will Cambiasso leave an irreplaceable hole?

I noticed since you have got engaged you no longer talk about maybe not being around in 12 months time (long term bets), feeling abit rejuvenated?

Tighty - how are you feeling about Leicester.  I've seen quite a few tipsters now predict them to go down, but I suspect it is just anti-Ranieri sentiment as opposed to proper evaluation of the playing squad.  Will Cambiasso leave an irreplaceable hole?

nervous because the squad seemed to play above itself for Pearson and we don't know if the same will apply under Ranieri. In pre-season he has tried various formations and we could be in for a slow start having to adapt to his new ideas and with new faces coming in very late   

Cambiasso is a big loss, for his leadership as much as his range of passing and nous. If we could secure Inler and/or Aranguiz as they are trying hard to do that would go a long way to replacing him.

At the end of last season we won 7 and drew 1 of the last 9 to finish on 41 points. At that point we were looking up for this year. could we get towards 50 points? challenge the top half?

A turbulent summer later we'd all take 17th right now.

I think we might be an unders team too. in those last 9 we conceded 3 to chelsea and only 4 goals in the other 8 games

In that great run at the back end Pearson played 3-4-1-2 with 3 centre backs and wing backs

Huth was a huge addition, Schmeichel was in great form and two midfielders sat in front of the back 3 and made us very difficult to break down

All the signs are that Ranieri is trying to build on that and make us difficult to beat first, Italian style and with more emphasis on nicking games than the rather gung ho counter attacking style we had at our best under Pearson

He has commented lots of times about how much better we looked with Huth in playing 3-4-1-2. Prior to that we were giving away a soft goal a game at least.

[doubleup]

The WGC Bridgestone tomorrow.  EW opportunities with Speith quite short and imo most of the fancied players have inconsistent records at the course.

Mark Leishman has played twice 45th in 2012 and 3rd last year and is in good form with his Open play-off last month.  Available @ 60-1 with bet everyday.



(Doobs has already got some money available for Fred)

I also like him @ 15/2 top australasian with sadblokes not sure whether EW is good I've gone for it anyway.

Huth is an immense player.  Still don't understand why Hughes let him go.

no exaggeration, but having watched us for nearly 40 years he was miles above the standard we would normally see in our back 4 or 5

terrific player

an absolutely huge get for us this summer. only 30 years old. £2m fee on a 3 year contract, 200 premier league games experience which is of course what any recently promoted team lacks, the experience of the league

would be much more bearish if he was injured/missing for a long spell

Weird you should say that, but I was thinking about "long-term" when I replied, but decided not to say anything, as people get emotive.

The fact is, I'm 68 next month, & don't exactly look after myself, that's the reality, so it does cross my mind, but not in a morbid way, just pragmatic. 

I'm the nut worst at keeping records of what I have in what account, & money generally. I really am totally disorganized. I must have cash in what, 10 different bookies accounts & 4 or 5 poker sites? At times, the amount invested is north of £4,000, plus the account balances, (around £2,000 to £3,000) & even more important, based on past experience with Fred, it has good equity.

Gill has zero knowledge - absolute zero - of poker or sports betting, she knows nothing about either, so she'd struggle to sort it out, how would she know what accounts I have, & what the passwords are? I've not written a Will, I suppose I ought to really. I don't keep any of it a secret, but it's just off her radar, so we don't really talk about it much. She might say "did you win?" if I watch a race with her or play poker when she's around (as in Vegas), but that's about it.

Now, given how much the regulars her loathe & despise bookmakers (as it happens, I don't, they are simply providing a service),  could there be anything worse than clog popping & leaving all that money in the bookies satchels?

What would Camel or Mr Ambo think about that?

It's something that I think about a lot, but, honestly, in a practical way, not morbid or emotive at all.

The each way normally would be bad but with Scott and Day very short and a bit inconsistent on the course, I just felt that there might be a bit of value.  Prob a bad bet (hopefully sadblokes think so as I've been a bit too lucky with them recently for account health  )

You could write all of your passwords down on a piece of paper and leave them to me in your will(when you get around to writing one) and that will ensure that you don't lose any sleep about your ill-gotten gains not going to a good home as opposed to feathering those evil bookies' "unclaimed bet" pension funds.

"I GIVE to arbboy my lolbrokes account to use as he sees fit.

I GIVE to chompy my betfair account to red and green in a way only he understands, on condition that he doesn't bet on reality tripe.

I GIVE to hector my ongoing tennis and eggchasing portfolio

I GIVE to Peter-27 £50, which will cover all liability for an entire season of F1 tips. The inevitable 25% profit to be donated to Tal's Strictly Fund.

I GIVE to Doobs my unrestricted accounts, should any remain

I GIVE to TightEnd my collection of Archibald Leitch model stadia.

I DESIRE that the rest of my betting accounts be left on a shotgun principle and first to pipe up shall get it.

And I DESIRE that MereNovice be made executor and trustee because I know he would just love sorting this mess out."
