well we got part one down of the half/final bet....one city goal in the 2nd half and we have a Meatloaf afternoon(2out of 3 aint bad...is this what it has come to?...Meatloaf references!)....anyone think this referee looks a lil petrified for some reason :think2: maybe the camorra got to him?...prolly right after they carjacked hamsik's wife...sick part of the world Naples is....was there one time in my life about 8-9 years ago ...wouldn't go back if you paid me...clearly not a place for outsiders
god i hate italian football..we have no right to win or draw this game...we have played like a bunch of nobs....especially our backline..this lineup had no cohesion...that being said...edinson cavani was on his back more than a porn star tonite....i swear it's in italian/spanish dna to dive and cry relentlessly throughout a match.... see my team balo and silva...as prime examples..but the serie a must teach a class prior to the game on diving and pouting and how to get away with it...my rant is over...we are out of the champions league to a freaking italian squad...i am gonna be sick
well, back to league play where everything is safe...not out in the rugged world of real football(champions league)..yes i am still pissed about pissing out the cl....say whatever u want...but bayern won't roll over@the etihad and napoli would have to be on the take to drop points at villareal..that being said..the same fears i had about going to play in the camorra's backyard are the same ones i have traveling merseyside on sunday....won't shock me if they finally drop one in league play or draw(which actually wouldn't be all bad at all)..one thing i do know, is...that goals will be abundant here....and it will be one of the few times i am totally throwing my love for the sky blue in lieu of my wallet...give me the limit($2500)on the over 2'goals at -110....and my prop bet is a dime on over 6goals combined at 10-1 odds..that's right $1000 on over 6 goals...i totally think this is going to be one wide open match and possibly the match of the season thus far...martin atkinson will be refereeing..i am pretty sure he has a real hard-on for city...so a pk or 2 won't be out of the realm of possibility...and the forecast calls for some am showers and 55 degrees f.........
hey i love cavani.....i was talking about the genre of italian soccer as a whole....i am not a fan of playing defense all day long and taking 2-3 counters a match...i was disciple of dutch total football.....and i love german and english style as well...more open and flowing....italian soccer is for the birds...there is more diving than a swim meet
although this is not a classic city line-up....i could never back this arsenal team w/others money....dzeko and johnson along w/nasri is still a formidable front line...while the likes of the karate kid and kolo should take care of the midfield...meanwhile, the wop puts out a squad with 5 defenders..which must be music to kolarov's ears since he thinks he is more of a left winger than a left fullback...i am putting a hundy on him to score anytime at 5-1 odds and also putting a buck on dzeko as first goal scorer at 5-1 odds as well....and then i will take city +125 for a nickel....
anytime wegner loses and i can profit it is a lovely day....biggest bitch coach i have ever laid eyes on in my life...nothing is ever wrong on his side and it's everyone else's fault.....enjoy another year of no silverware.....ps wish there was a caveat to 'anytime scorer' that they give a lil % back if the substitute comes in and scores for him!!! thought dzeko might nick one in at the end but not to be...still +425 on the day...nothing to sneeze at...cheers
Ya Uruguayan, my mistake. I knew that I don't know why I put Argentina. I am half dutch, half italian (father italian, mother dutch), and I LOVE the Dutch team and style of play. Total Football was one of the best sports books I've ever read, love the dutch game... but Italian football gets a bad wrap. The big 4-5 teams are not defensive like this at all, people don't look past serie A... the bottom feeders all implement a defensive system, but the big 4-5 teams are plenty offensive.
Look at Naopli-Juventus today... 3-3 final
yeah...robin...i am generalizing italian football in general and over time...i am in my late 30's and it's always been the same scenario thru-out the years to me about the italian style of play...and yes i do realize some teams implement some form of attacking football...but nowhere near the aggressiveness of dutch, german, and english squads,,cheers
i think that's cuz naples have all the pressure in the world on them....this is supposed to be the cakewalk....would love to see villa steal a point(however doubtful that might be/look)...bayern squad today is not the real munich...lots of rest being doled out by the head coach....
if u wanna real bet....go for chelsea on monday afternoon.....they are 5-7 faves as we type....at stamford bridge....city are 2-1 dogs....city are obviously under no restraints today.....should be a slick surface....brother told me it was hailing out about an hour ago when i talked to him....putting in a bet thru a local today....goin with city first half -105 for a dime....if they come out like they should, and with this munich lineup, i feel confident in a win at halftime....my obvious hesitation on the whole game laying the 7 1/2-5 odds are the buzz that will be around the stadium covering the naples game....i could easily see city just chucking the game away knowing full well that naple is up 3-1 in the 70th minute....therefore, i will only play the half....as for final scores(which i can't believe how many i have hit with an abundance of outrageous luck!!!)and first goal scorers, i am sitting this one out...just wanna kick back and watch both games simultaneously and hope for a city win and naples choke.....maybe the camorra put a huge chunk on villa!!! one can dream right.....?
agree with the city HT not FT bet. If the nipples are up 2-0 HT all hope is lost
love the rumors that city have sweetened the pot for Villareal players...not sure Nilmar needs anymore money but heard he's making his return tonight.
