It was 9-3 after 40 minutes, but they scored with the final kick, the sneaky Frenchies.

Mr T I was out purchasing some mince pies so I missed your query. If not too late then I am not sure of the best option anyway, it would take a sharper mind than mine to work it all out and I would rather trough a mince pie. As regards the coffee, I am a bit of a perfectionist in that there are only 2 coffees that I really like and they are both instant, Carte Noire and ordinary Nescafe, only have half a cup at a time and it must be boiling hot and in a suitable coloured/shaped mug.

Hector, from your shocking taste in coffee, leads me to believe you did not play your rugby in Italy or France!

^^^^^

Shrewd observation.

I also need to know what a "suitable coloured and shaped mug" is.

We need to know these things.

[hector62]

Carte Noire sounds frenchish at least. Plain normal shaped mug with a light colour and a white interior.

Our little interest in Astracad in the big race at Cheltenham is no more.

Had a look at weekend football.

Feels tough to find alot of value.

I like Yeovil at Walsall - they are 11/5 with Boyles.

I think they should be shorter. Yeovil have won at places like Crawley in the recent past. Walsall are struggling and have lost their captain Andy Butler who is suspended.

I'd recommend a small bet, say £15-£20.

Perhaps Tighty has a view on this ??

Looked at this, couldn't trust Yeovil enough


My two for the shortlist are as follows

1.

my bet for this weekend is Rochdale to win at Aldershot

Best price is 7/4 at Bet365 and I have £25 on

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-2/aldershot-v-rochdale/winner

Aldershot have won 1 of 10 games at home, losing 7. Lowest scorers in the League at home, 3 goals

Rochdale have won 5 of 10 away, only losing 3


Rochdale have however lost three on the trot, which probably accounts for being 7/4 in a spot. They badly need a win to stay on the coat tails of the play-offs

Last week Rochdale lost 3-2 at home to Exeter, having been 3-0 down and down to 10 men. They had 67% possession in that match.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20564884

I'll take my chances that 7/4 is a decent price here given the poor quality of the opposition.


This will be going on the Nits thread/Tips4tikay tomorrow if 7/4 remains

Moore calculates he will have just enough fit senior players to fill the team sheet on Saturday.


Look for Sheff U at Evens if they get there

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-1/sheffield-utd-v-tranmere/winner

Sorted.

The original bet on Aldershot is CANCELLED, & taken off-thread.

We now have £25 @ 9/5, Blue Square, ROCHDALE.

Please make your wishes clearer next time, you achieved the near-impossible of confusing me. It was the way you wrote "my bet is Rochdale to beat Aldershot" that caused the problem.

Utah Jazz -2 vs Memphis Grizzlies.

Jazz are phenomenal at home boasting a 9-1 record so far this year and have beaten some very good teams. The only team they have lost to was LA Clippers by 1 point. Last year they had a 25-8 record at home, one of the best in the entire NBA. Utah was actually voted the 2nd toughest place to play at by all the GM's, the fans are right on top of you and really get behind their team as its the only home team they really have in Utah (other than football) players feed off the fans energy and really put a shift in for the crowd.

Grizzlies are in the middle of a road trip and have lost their last 3 games, Utah isn't the ideal place to be playing right now for them.

Utah shoot 48% at home and hold opponents to just 37% shooting on average. Memphis play good defence though so I don't expect this to be a blow out, but if it is a really close game I expect the fans to power the Jazz home to a 5-7 point victory.

In for 4 units Utah Jazz -2

Going back to Jaffacakes Cavaliers suggestion, the line has moved to +10 BUT it looks like Carmelo is going to be rested.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/knicks-plan-sit-injured-melo-cavs-article-1.1220629

I don't know how much jaffa likes the bet, I like it a little not alot as NYK are just playing really well as a team. No Carmelo is a huge blow though of course.

Thanks Tom.

We have invested £44 @ 10/11, Blue Square, Jazz -2 over the Grizzlies (ugh at those names).

Let us hope you can get straight back into the winning enclosure.

two of the coolest names in the NBA imo

[tikay]

Early price on tomoro's Knicks game has the Cavs -11. They're playing pretty well since Kyrie came back and sounds like Melo may well be injured for NY. Know they won without Melo the other day but they're pretty ordinary without him.

Thanks Jeff.

The line moved to +10, but we now know Melo is outo, so we've had a dabble.

£22 @ 91/100, BWin, Cavs +10 over the Knicks.

Doncaster to win League 1

at the moment they are joint top with 40 points

Top play 3rd today so they could be top 5pm tonight

Robbie Blake plays poker in Gala Leeds most night and has been telling everyone to back them for a while, a few of the players have backed them at 40/1

they have played all the good sides away from home now and nobody has scared them so far

price at the moment  9/1

Thanks Big Man.

Think I need some warmth from others on that. I have no idea whasoever as to the perceived value, but one of their players saying it is a good bet sort of puts me off! Footballers generally are rarely impartial, or overly successful at punting.

I'm not against the bet at all, just need a little reassurance.

We will take some of that blokes 40/1 though, if he feels so disposed.

[tikay]

Think we are up to date now, so that's a wrap for today, I have a fish to fry. In Brighton.

Whatever you are all on, good luck.
