Last nights game was a cracker – again we had a fair shout from the officials, now we can’t win anything, why bother to continue with the persecution; so it was a chance to see some proper football, a rare treat!
I say we can’t win anything but actually it’s mathematically slim to the point of impossible after the Manu/Chav most rigged game ever made the title race go “right to the wire”... but saying that – the string of ‘key decisions’ that went against us earlier in the season was also mathematically slim to the point of statistical impossiblility so who can tell just ‘how exciting’ the title race will get?!
Place your bets ladies and gentlemen please (you fucking mugs) - blah.
Derby, fair play to them came out and gave us a game – Fuck the pundits Derby fans, they gave you boys massive disrespect. It takes guts to come out and play – and fair fucking play to your support, you got a full house of proper fans and that’s more than most EPL clubs these days... shame you’re shit and got no fitness – but what don’t kill you makes you stronger and you’ll bounce back next season a better team.
I had an argument with QPR Dan the other day as he said that these games must be “non-events” for me – I told him that cup finals were non-events these days and an honest football match with a chance to see good football is an event in itself.
“But you can’t actually win anything” he said.
"We can win the match on the day, 90 minutes 45 each way, what more do you want? We would have won the league with this match all things being equal over the season, decisions wise."
“Oh don’t start with that shit again – Man-u are much better than you that’s why they are going to win it!”
"We’re 10 points a better team than Man-u, 20 points a better team than Chelsea – you don’t get it do you?!"
“Sour grapes mate - The trouble with whingy Wenger and you armchair supporters is...”
It was obvious - QPR Dan was on the windup - rumbled, QPR Dan loves the windup! QPR Dan has a soft underbelly though – he “loves” QPR just a little bit more than winding me up, he has a QPR tattoo and everything.
"I can imagine you not giving a shit about corruption as you boys will buy your way into the EPL next season. And what’s all this about “armchair supporter”? I go to every home game, you – as I recall – jacked in your season ticket."
“Yeah, but you KNOW I’VE SUPPORTED QPR SINCE 86!!!”
"So… why don’t you go to the games?"
“I WILL NEXT SEASON!”
"What… when you start winning you’ll support them again?"
“WHEN WE GET INTO THE PREM I’M GOING TO COME AND TAKE A SHIT ON YOUR DESK YOU FUCKER!”
QPR Dan gets angry quite easily... but it’s fair to say that he wound me up as much as I did him. We haven’t spoken since and I fully expect a desk full of faecal matter as and when QPR buy their way to glory – the definition of a “non event”.

[29/04/2008 11:39:14] dhjackal says: mental
[29/04/2008 11:39:17] dhjackal says: what a bunch of losers
[29/04/2008 11:40:15] DogFace says: Yeah well - saw it coming a mile off - Thaskin only wanted Man Shitty as a publicity vehicle to ingratiate himself with the Thai people after fucking them blind and running off with all their cash in the first place.
[29/04/2008 11:40:45] DogFace says: He don't give a shit about football... wonder who he has lined up to replace him?
[29/04/2008 11:50:20] dhjackal says: why would owning Man City ingratiate you to anyone?
[29/04/2008 11:50:31] dhjackal says: surely that's a capital offence
[29/04/2008 11:50:39] dhjackal says: they should have shot the fuckwit
[29/04/2008 11:50:42] DogFace says: They love the EPL over there... could have been any team.
[29/04/2008 11:51:01] dhjackal says: rumor is he's lining up Wenger to take over
[29/04/2008 11:51:04] DogFace says: LOL
[29/04/2008 11:51:10] DogFace says: *whatever*
[29/04/2008 11:51:24] DogFace says: He'll probably get some Thai celebrity.
[29/04/2008 11:52:14] DogFace says: He's having some bother at the moment as his puppet in charge has turned on him - thus not releasing his billion-in-the-bank of stolen funds.
[29/04/2008 11:52:45] DogFace says: So I doubt that shitty will get much of a budget in the summer for new signings.
[29/04/2008 11:53:13] DogFace says: Unless they want a few more Thai 'super stars' for photo oppertunities (chuckle)
[29/04/2008 11:54:14] DogFace says: Mind you - he still will have a bit of cash kicking around from air asia... so you never know.
[29/04/2008 11:54:54] DogFace says: Anyway - let's talk gambling... what you going for on tonights game?
[29/04/2008 11:56:05] DogFace says: It should be a good one, up for grabs! Your boys going to play football tonight or shut up shop and play for penalties?
[29/04/2008 12:10:17] dhjackal says: i don't know you tell me
[29/04/2008 12:10:26] dhjackal says: you "know" all the results nowerdays
[29/04/2008 12:10:29] DogFace says: You know your team
[29/04/2008 12:10:39] DogFace says: Ha, yes - I won more on last nights game (cash)
[29/04/2008 12:10:46] DogFace says: £30 - sweet
[29/04/2008 12:10:49] dhjackal says: nice
[29/04/2008 12:10:52] dhjackal says: you can buy lunch
[29/04/2008 12:11:07] DogFace says: HT/FT Arsenal/Arsenal @ Arse to score more than 3.
[29/04/2008 12:11:28] DogFace says: £20 down £30 profit.
[29/04/2008 12:11:53] DogFace says: I got two bets on tonights game but I am concerned by the odds at the moment...
[29/04/2008 12:12:47] DogFace says: Apparently you are the favourites... which seems wierd in my opinion i.e. your team are carrying key injuries and Barca played you off the park in the first leg?
[29/04/2008 12:12:58] DogFace says: ...so - dunno...
[29/04/2008 12:13:39] DogFace says: There isn't much money on it though... so - I reckon that the pro gamblers are steering clear as it's a flip-of-a-coin type of game.
[29/04/2008 12:14:13] DogFace says: You'll get 3 times as much cash down, for instance, on a rigged midweek Chelski game.
[29/04/2008 12:15:30] DogFace says: But - based purely on form and ability I reckon Barca by 2 goals... if you do win then you will deserve it - no way will there be anything dodgy going on - I hope!
[29/04/2008 12:17:39] DogFace says: If anything I would say that an all english final would not be desired as a pan-european spectacle... but Manu (as do Barca) have too much clout to be robbed in the CL.
[29/04/2008 12:26:18] dhjackal says: bollox
[29/04/2008 12:26:30] DogFace says: whaddup?
[29/04/2008 13:18:57] dhjackal says: nothing
[29/04/2008 13:31:04] DogFace says: Thinking about it... I reckon that SAF might come up with the old 'flood the pitch' master stroke to destroy the Barca passing game... better hope it rains! That might actually work.
[29/04/2008 13:35:15] dhjackal says: well it's what we did when we destroyed you
[29/04/2008 13:35:22] dhjackal says: so you might be right
[29/04/2008 13:35:33] DogFace says: haha... cunning
[29/04/2008 13:35:59] DogFace says: in an anti-football kind of way.
[29/04/2008 13:36:51] DogFace says: I wish I had thought about that before I put my cash down!! :-@
[29/04/2008 13:37:32] dhjackal says: never mind
[29/04/2008 13:40:29] dhjackal says: oi
[29/04/2008 13:40:37] dhjackal says: if you bet on the game tonight
[29/04/2008 13:40:44] DogFace says: uh huh?
[29/04/2008 13:40:44] dhjackal says: are you only betting on the 90 minutes?
[29/04/2008 13:40:51] DogFace says: Yeah.
[29/04/2008 13:41:03] DogFace says: Otherwise you bet on who reaches the final.
[29/04/2008 13:41:31] DogFace says: You got some tips for me bad boy? What are you getting on?
[29/04/2008 13:45:23] dhjackal says: Barcelona
[29/04/2008 13:45:37] DogFace says: Insurance bet?
[29/04/2008 13:45:38] dhjackal says: have to lay some of my bets
[29/04/2008 13:45:47] DogFace says: what other bets you got?
[29/04/2008 13:45:49] dhjackal says: have £100 riding on Man Utd
[29/04/2008 13:45:55] dhjackal says: with "mates"
[29/04/2008 13:45:58] DogFace says: bejesus!
[29/04/2008 13:46:15] DogFace says: You can get great odds on Barca....
[29/04/2008 13:46:29] DogFace says: ...but tell me - what if it's a draw 1-1?
[29/04/2008 13:46:29] dhjackal says: i can lay all that for £28
[29/04/2008 13:46:36] dhjackal says: which i can take
[29/04/2008 13:47:19] DogFace says: Not like you mate - but probably wise as you didn't get the away goal... and the odds, as you say, are favorable to that.
[29/04/2008 13:48:25] dhjackal says: exactly
