Yeah, the bookies change their prices 5 minutes before the team sheets are handed out.
they are all fairly decent but as soon as it says they are fielding pretty much the A team, they are no longer worth backing.
According to bbc football, QPR will play first team, as will Swansea and West brom.
They all have 1 or 2 changes. Wolves however have around 6 changes I think, so not so sure about them who strangely are playing Northampton who put you out last year in the third round! lol
Bolton I think will play a strong team, they always tend to they play 2morro though and I have started to fancy Millwall a little bit? Lol

Thats a little sickening....
In the end I've backed -
Leicster
Forrest
Swansea
West Brom
Cardiff
Wolves
And QPR
All except Wolves went 1-0 up in the first 10 minutes...Wolves scored in the 30th...
Except QPR who went 1-0 down. Akpa Akpro with the goal.
He certainly isn't a real person. What a fix

Stoke thursday
I will be in the Terraces shouting the odds making sure my team march on to be in Europe, it's getting really exciting now and we are 80% of the way there!
Also up town last night walking to the Casino, about 10 guys stop me in a dodgy accent say 'Which team you support' I say Stoke and they are like blah Stoke we are Norwich!
They all circle me and chant at me (At the time I am with a girl which wasnt the best place for her to be) So I walk upto 1 of them and start screaming delilah in his face, they all shut up and this guy keeps getting closer to me and pulling his fist back like he's going to hit me!
So I just got closer and closer ended up chanting 'You've had a day out now *cough* off home
I said I don't care how many of you are but lets go am always game! And they walked of saying 'Stokies got some balls eh'
The girl I was with turned around and said 'That was awesome go run up and start it again' As I hurried of to the Casino lol
All in all Norwich fans are girls =D

Great win for Forest against Wycombe in the League Cup 2nd round, total domination, good football being played, the team is improving well. The most funny thing about the game though listening to the commentary with Colin Fray was that the Ground had quite a few Partridges and they kept flying into the Forest fans on suicide bombings!! Commentator was in hysterics as was the whole press office!! I must find the audio!!! lol
Will Exeter knock out Liverpool tonight...
More importantly, will Arsenal be dumped out of the Champions League.. I think they might....

God, I hope not, we need to make a big effort to do well in this competition this time around.
I expect a kids/fringe team, hope Raheem Sterling gets a bit of game time, that fella could be class.
As for Arsenal they will scrawp through me thinks. They just need to score. Hope Di Natalie knocks them out though, class player.

Barreto and Di Natale will be a force for Arsenal to cope with.
I can see Udinese scoring but not sure if Arsenal will score?
No Nasri, No Fabregas, No Wilshere, No Koscielny, No Gibbs, No Bendtner, No Diaby...
But Gervinho and Frimpong won't be suspended for this match and Van Persie will play the second leg after missing the first.
I feel really sorry for Arsenal in a way, if they don't make it through and have to play Europa league, then I dont think it will be possible to revive them. They cant attract the better players as it is.
This is the difference...
Nasri to City - £24m
Fabregas to Barca - £27m
Their two best players and the replacments ...
Chamberlen £14m from Southampton
Hazard £26m from Lille
Not being funny but there is a massive contrast in quality. I dont have a clue what Wenger is doing to be perfectly honest, is he deliberately killing off Arsenal?
He has basically straight swapped Nasri or Fabby for Hazard? Ridiculos.
Then taken £10m and Chamerlen for the other.
Nearly as frustrating for me as Chelsea. Lukaku for £18m when we dont need a striker, really dont need a striker and then Mata instead of Nasri/Modric.
Why not buy Mata and Modric/Nasri and no Lukaku.
Lukaku, if you are reading this, its nothing personal but please understand I love Dider Drogba and I want some sort of return off Torres so you can do one for now. Not to mention Sturridge is probably better than you...
Lukaku = home wrecker.

Just want to shout out for Brighton and Hove Albion again, beating Sunderland in extra time. After seeing the highlights I can strangely say, it was very much deserved. Limited Sunderland to only two decent chances as well as Brighton having more and also hitting the woodwork.
Well in Brighton.
Chelsea v Brighton is still very much on the cards!

They haven't yet but I feel this will happen. Wenger has to do something just a shame its far to late in the day.
If Fabby wanted to go and Nasri would follow him out the door...
Sell them for 30 a pop at the start. You have £60m to spend on good players.
But I feel he should of been purchasing players before he left. I'd of signed for Arsenal if they had Nasri and Fabby etc, but now Chamberlen and Diaby, nah no thanks. Lol

Just came on to throw a spanner into the champions league works.
Fenerbache were DQ'd from entering into it because of the match fixing scandal they were involved with back in Turkey.
So one team is going to be entering in their stead.
I vote Liverpool

Haha!
Surely they will pick a team that doesnt make the qualifying.
I vote Rangers!
Champions league, Rangers are champions so they should not of even had to qualify.

Something to do with UEFA coefficient.
From my understanding of the rules we could be in Europa League action quite soon, but it is all dependent on how Arsenal qualifying tonight.
Confusing tho.

Uefa will be announcing their decision at 7:30 tonight...
I now reckon the Arsenal V Udinese game becomes pointless (well for Arsenal)
Think they will qualify even if they lose tonight.
Edit: Forget all that... ^^^ this is what should happen according to the rules...
"The highest ranked country by coefficient to have their league champions go out at Qualifying Round 4" Atm it's FC Kobenhavn."
Yes, my second favourite team!

Should hand it to an Irish team, Rovers are definitely more deserving than some clubs in the running!
