Small change to me. I might just be a little late with a sore head.

AFAIK most bookies wont pay out anything more than 25,000 on football so Peadar I doubt that'll buy you a pair of shoes

PaddyPower.com quoted me those prices and it the potential returns is taken directly from their website.
They specialise in this type of betting.
Thanks for your concern but I'm covered.

There's the small print on the bottom of the pools coupon that shows their maximum payout. They don't tell you about it till you collect.

And I also see that your first game ended in a draw last night so it's work as usual for you on Mondy!

This is Internet betting and isn't subject to the same rules as far as I know.
They have a football accumulator calculator which allows up to 12 lines.

Hard luck - Good call on Aresnal - Sheff Utd though

Had the misfortune of being in attendance at that one.
Got a good giggle out of the Blades fans singing, "Engerland, Engerland, Engerland..." in response to the Arsenal starting XI.

Had a 5 line accumulator with:

2 Arsenal v Sheff Utd - BBC
FA Cup Matches, 19th of February 2005 12:30pm
Draw @ 4 - 1

7 Reading v Coventry
Coca Cola C'ship Matches, 19th of February 2005 3:00pm
Coventry @ 9 - 2

8 Wigan v Leeds
Coca Cola C'ship Matches, 19th of February 2005 3:00pm
Wigan @ 4 - 6

10 Everton v Man Utd - BBC
FA Cup Matches, 19th of February 2005 5:30pm
Man Utd @ 5 - 6

12 Tottenham v Nottm Forest
FA Cup Matches, 20th of February 2005 3:00pm
Tottenham @ 1 - 4

Only to be let down big time by the White Heartless Lane girls.

I was totally robbed last night.
As if I needed any further reason to despise ManUre!

Try this one Peader

Bet of the weekend:

A treble:

Arsenal to beat Southhampton @ 8/15
Bristol City to beat Blackpool @ 8/13
Luton to beat Port Vale @ 11/10

A modest �20 stake will return approximately �104 (I think)

I'd nearly go for a draw there.
City are having a mixed fortunes, as are Blackpool.
They were flattered against Oldham while Blackpool had a credible win at home on Tuesday night.

I have faith in the Tin man. For the last couple of seasons they've always come good in the latter part of the season. Last season they had a great run to the end of the season (and that was with the incredibly negative Danny Wilson in charge, he ruined my big day out for the play off final in Cardiff last year). Plus Lita and Brooker are going really well lately and they have Paul Heffernan to spring from the bench who plays very effectively with Brooker. I go for a 3-1 for the Robins.

Having lived there for a year and a half, the Seasiders are my League One team.
