Nice layout, well done. Are the old off topic threads still around? Threads like ‘grinds my gears’ etc.

Right chaps, new to your game threads, I'm interested in having a bet on this. The bet is games, over or under 9? I'll figure out the value based upon your thoughts. Thanks Shaft

What do you mean by budget mate?

Irn bru drinking, fried mars bar munching, caber tossing sweaty socks. Whatever next?

Alright, I'll do it but only cos you insist and I'll only want a score (20) a day.

It was a magnificent final, two great sporting warriors slugging it out, bravo!

So he could make more money with a different investment. I don't know the value of your club but lets say he had a hundred million in equity tied up in it and it's returning him say 15% a year without much capital growth or, more to the point, without much hope of real capital growth. Baseball is not getting any richer is it, i.e. its not opening up new markets at any real rate of knots. They also own Liverpool Football Club which is in a market that has huge growth potential with opportunities for negotiating individual tv rights in Asia which is worth billions. If you want gold you go where the gold is and right now in the world of sport thats top premier league teams in England and Liverpool desperatly need a new stadium to increase corporate revenues and that requires investment of circa half a billion dollars.

First I heard of this was reading it in the Sunday Times this morning, I'm not ashamed to say it brought a tear to my eye. It brings back memories of sneaking down the stairs when I was a kid to listen to his fights with Ali when the adults where listening on the wireless (radio). I mourn that era, c'mon smokin Joe, I know Ali is in your corner tonight too.

Well worth going along to see if you get the chance. You wont believe how hard these fellas hit each other when you're sitting in the ground.

Very good Dojji. The game is a lot faster in England than anywhere else, a lot more physical demands are placed upon you. The player you mention is Luis Suarez and is the first player FSG bought, for circa ?24m, we could sell him tomorrow for ?50m. He is going to be a world beater. I should say the ?24m came from money we got from the sale of Torres for ?50m.

Liverpool won last night by 2 goals to 1 playing away to Stoke. Luis Suarez scored the goals. It was a decent result and puts us through to the next round in the League Cup. Thought I'd let you know seeing as we're cousins now

I've just bet on you to beat the twins at a handicap of -1.5 at 5/6.Please tell me thats a good bet.I used the money I won on Liverpool tonight who won 5 - 2 away from home.

I am being offered odds of 5/7 for the sox to win tonight and I fancy a fllutter in a double with Liverpool this weekend. Do those odds represent value in your opinion when you consider your game tonight? Thanks Shaft
