FFS, pinged refresh like 50 times today and missed this.  I did put him in my dream team though in order to get a better strker in.   

[DungBeetle]

With Emre Can coming into the side to play alongside Hendo, Wijnaldum seems set for a far more attacking role than usual like he did at Newcastle where he scored loads of goals last season.

This is not really reflected in his FGS price - especially on betty where he's 27!

Recommend a sporty Lady Godiva at that price.

Impressive!  Well called.

[tikay]

Well done Ralph.

Good shout Ralph.

About to sign off for the evening.

Happy new year to all TfT posters, tippers and lurkers

Will have some 2016 stats tomorrow once we draw a line on the spreadsheet tonight.

In the meantime, to repeat something tikay said the other day. It would be great to see former posters (for whatever reason) pop back in 2017,  to give us some more breadth of ideas and opportunities to beat the markets. We'd love everyone to let bygones be bygones.



 

As Tighty says, it'd be great if we could all stop with the stuff which was driving, & keeping, some of our regulars away.

I've been in touch with the likes of Adzy, hector & Mere over Xmas, as well as many others who now no longer post here, & they all replied warmly to me, though they have no plans to return yet awhile. Not everyone likes everyone, but that does not mean we have to insult, harass & bully them away, we can just ignore them if we are so inclined. There are one or 2 here that I dislike, but I just ignore them, & never reply or respond to them, it's not difficult.

Fred is an amazing thing, a free resource where we can all have fun, relax, & earn a few bob, as we have again in 2017. But we need the views of everyone if Fred is to continue into it's 6th year, which starts later this month. All views help, even if they may be misguided or plain wrong, as they helps us form valid opinions. If we can make some progress in this area, Fred will continue, if not, well someone else will need to take over.

Happy New Year to all of you, past & present, lurkers & posters.

Thanks Rich, for all the work you have invested in Fred in 2016 & before, especially the extra spreadsheet workload since Mere started his sabbatical.

Financially, we had a great year again, but we lost some of the fun factor, sparkle & zing.

Amazing to see NFL was our worst sport in 2016, even though the loss was peanuts. We are better endowed with NFL experts than any other sport, so I'm sure it's just a blip & a bit of variance.

Well done to Nelly & Peter for their invaluable help with Cricket & Motorsport, & to everyone else who contributed positively. Tal & Doobs get special thanks, too, for oiling the wheels when things are quiet & a flow of well thought out suggestions, & help with getting on. To all those who helped Fred place bets, too, many thanks, we could not continue without you.

Peace & prosperity, & a few laughs along the way, in 2017.

Settlement Day

If Fred owes you anything for December bets, please let me know, & I'll get you sorted tout de suite.

Is there a conspiracy to keep my ROI down on Fred?

I know that Tighty's "signing off" post and my FGS overpriced suggestion were posted almost simultaneously yesterday and am just sorry that Fred didn't get on.

No Ralph, not at all. Don't really know how it got missed, but Tighty's just not like that, & it certainly would not have been intentional. I've barely been around all Xmas, as Gill has been down, & I've been busy with UKOPS & Blogging every day all Xmas, so have not had time to assist when Tighty is busy or otherwise engaged. His Daughter has been most unwell for some time now, so life's quite tough for him.

The main thing is not whether Fred gets on, it's putting up good suggestions, then others can decide if they want to climb aboard.

HNY Ralph, & keep the suggestions coming.

Quite possibly, Peter, but it does not really matter, it's all good, & I namechecked you earlier this morning.

The Spready is a real headache these days, & Tighty struggles with it due to time constraints, & it's complexity. Mere is a chuffing hard act to follow, too, so please bear that in mind.

That question was considerably tongue-in-cheek Tony as Tighty would need to know what suggestions were going to win in order to not place them.

I hope that makes sense.

HNY all, anyone explain why Bromley are 3/1 away to Sutton utd today, Bromley won last 5 on the bounce and above Sutton, I had a boozer on gander green lane many years ago so I look out for Sutton.
