Inch High aka Inchy.. 405 Posted September 27, 2008 LGT pat yourself on the back for all the others you chose because there can''t be a football fan in the country who could have seen that Arsenal result coming. I should think there are a few tears dropping into a few pints tonight along with some torn up slips.[:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounded as those hull gave them a really good game, but aww well it''s all about avoiding the mines and yet again this season there have been massive almost un-avoidable ones. But we''ll be back to have another crack next week!Also, Inchy, you must be nearly be on as good a streak as I (or newyork) did last season. Can he break the record?

norfolkchance1 0 Posted September 27, 2008 Unlucky LGT, to be denied by a promoted team winning at the Emirates is the cruelest way possible to lose an accumulator with 5/5 already correct. Similar to last week with Stoke at Anfield, I guess these sides raise their game when they go to big places and are getting more joy as the big sides rotate teams to try and win more competitions.

Now hows that ? I am sure I have picked a loser there , you lovely old boy .And talking of lovely old boys , now Jim I want to talk to you about this oldies thing , I can''t imagine you were referring to me , I am sure you ment Lapp because he is very old you know.[:D]....arrdee.

arrdee 2 Posted September 28, 2008 I am still trying to get my head around that Arsenal result , that was bad luck indeed Steve , you have joined the one wrong brigade , it is getting quite large now, there always seems one for the bookmaker , never mind we will be up and at em next week when we have the wonderful Gentleman Jim in the chair , another member of the one wrong club from last season , as long as all you lovely old City fans are enjoying yourselves I am a happy man....arrdee.

arrdee 2 Posted September 28, 2008 Well done Nutty , Its great that all our lovely old Pickers can see how they are performing on the Free Bet , If you can think back talented one to when I started the Free Bet off , we would get about 5 replies and about 40 views , I use to think that no one liked me , a bit different now . Now Devon If I could just make reference to the form your old mate we8 is in, do you think he is going to sweep all before him ? credit to him he did warn you in his own words "I am coming after you Devon" Yes well done Mr Chops I did congratulate you on the opening page , sorry I cant partake in the virtual wedding cake but I will enjoy the virtual pint , you lovely old boy.[Y]....arrdee.
