Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, and David Villa were all treated and respected well by the club, though do not let the media play games with your head; they will make you believe whatever they want you to believe. None of the players mentioned were kicked out of the club; they had a successful career at Barcelona and decided to try new challenges elsewhere before retirement, with the exception of Messi, who was ready to retire at Barcelona before the start of the season.


None of those players are capable of carrying a team to triumph in the same way that Messi did, and there are certain players who leave a hole that lasts decades. Well, you didn't include the key person Depay in your statement, thus Ansu Fati is the only player I trust to make an impact.

He is a replaceable player


The expression is simply a way of saying "we're screwed " in some transfer scenarios. Atletico Madrid will now dominate the league, with Real Madrid and Barcelona becoming laughingstocks.  

Pep comes from Bielsa train of thought, you have to analyse your opponent’s games, trainings and everything, you have to learn as much as you can on the team you are playing against and accordingly change your system as well, defence specially changes a lot because you are playing against teams that will have different offensive strategy, your offense could always stay the same because after all why change it based on their defence if it works against all defences, but if there is a special situation, then you can make changes according to that as well.

This led Leeds to have a lot of injuries, not so much for City but it definitely did hurt them a lot because they were playing different all the time in many games. Yet you can't say they were not great, they were in semi-finals of UCL and won premier league 3 out of last 4 times which is an insane achievement.

I dont see the game but seems like another lost season for the Arsenal

Deportivo vs Real Madrid kicks off in 30 minutes, if anybody is interested. It’ll be interesting to see how the mighty Real cope this season without their captain & talisman Sergio Ramos. Varane joined Man Utd too so I dunno if I think Real will do well this season. Could be a struggle for them to live up to expectations. I’m tempted to bet on Deportivo to win this one.

So, Gunners and Saints took a battering -- the latter I backed quite confidently -- but we've to remember both aren't quite the same teams they were last season, at least, not the ones that showed up on the pitch today.

Our Specials also took a hit:
1. Arsenal already made sure 433/1 BTTS each MD1 game wouldn't hit but Wolves also failed to score so we won't get our money back;) 2. Leicester Wolves also didn't score in 2nd half, so we're also short on the 366/1 goal in every half of each MD1 game, but we could still get money back if the remaining 2 matches tomorrow get a goal in every half!
3. As Norwich couldn't score, the Utd/Liv/City to win and all teams to score at 25/1 is also down.
4. However, 10/1 on a goal in first half just needs tomorrow's 2 games to get a goal before 45th min to take us home so that's absolutely still alive.
5. Over 15.5 goals for both Home and Away goals at 85/10 does NOT look good for the away side, while we already booked 18 goals for the home side. 7 more goals from City and West Ham tomorrow really don't look likely haha but go Soucek and Antonio!

I go to bed happy with Liverpool bagging that one. Triple save from Alisson maintained our clean sheet near the end.

Bumping an old quote here...i believe we are back with the old odds supplier, hallefuckinglujah!

Since the CL final in May we had like 30-50 markets tops per match regardless of who was playing, missing some really important and popular markets (well some were still accessible but only through the betbuilder option which is not the same) like: Halftime/Fulltime, Double Chance & Total, Anytime Goalscorer, and many more. Good to see 100+ markets per match again.

I hope Arsenal will not perform bad again as it's already that they are not in Europe competitions and besides that Arteta has a full season to finally bring this team on top where it belongs. However this road is gonna be difficult as they always have injuries and EPL seems so balanced this year.

Anyway, I'm watching live Spurs - City and this game might end in a draw .

Hi guys,

Nice little 2 leg multi here > odds of 391/1 coupling a 1st Half Correct Score market (19.0) with a full-game Correct Score market (21.0)

Requiring a 1|2 Half-Time score in the Flamengo match, the customer may well have been sweating bullets at 0|1 in the 45th minute, but goals to Barbosa in the 45th +12m (0|2) and Torres in the 45th + 14m (1|2), saw the client turn 10 BRL into 3,911 (1.60€ into 635€)

Well Played! even for a fluke!

regards,

Steve.

Well played, hats off. Balls, balls, balls.

That's crazy, 14 minutes on injury time for a FIRST HALF. Gabigol just can't stop scoring but IIRC this isn't even the first time in recent times we've seen >10 mins injury time for first half in Brazilian football, can't recall the match but it was one of the Blackjack picks. @icopress would you be the one keeping track?

Gotta be a story in there, must be a more common occurrence in Brasileiro?

How come that never happens on my tickets  Usually when I need one more goal it ends with referee showing 2 minutes additional time or like yesterday:

I only needed Rijeka to score to win my ticket on local fiat bookie, since Sportsbet did not have that market I had to go fiat, damn. They scored regular goal in the beginning of the match and it got disallowed via VAR due to offside. Later on lost 1:0 to Osijek. Chief of referees gave a statement today apologizing for that decision since they drew the lines with wrong defensive player and said it is totally unacceptable that things like that can happen. Lots of comfort for me
