Of mice and men...

I don't know what to say really. I didn't get to see the games but by all accounts lunacy on the part of refs and goalkeepers seem to have conspired to ensure we lost all our bets last night. Offside goals, indirect free kicks 5 yds out, reckless red cards..... The worst of it is you van be sure those clowns responsible will be on the plane to South Africa with UEFA's blessing despite the fact they would be better off trying to get to know the guide-dogs they unquestionably need in order to lead a semi-functional life.



Fortunately tomorrow we get to move on to Cheltenham, probably starting with a World hurdle preview but first we are going to allow the powers that be in UEFA the opportunity to inflict even more pain on us. Due to their constant tampering with the format it is slightly harder to be confident that there are any definite anomalies in the first leg of the second round games but logic dictates that there should be. So we will walk on through the storm and get on the draws again in some of the more even games and one or 2 where the stubborn resistance of a minnow might be enough to frustrate one of the big guns.

1 pt draw on the following games:
Ajax v Juve 23/10 (Paddy Power)
Copenhagen v Marseilles 12/5 (bet365)
Hertha v Benfica 12/5 (bet365)
Liverpool v UU 9/2 (Bwin)
Pan v Roma 23/10 (Betfred)
