Is Newcastle playing to win the League Cup trophy

or the series ? or perhaps both?

I'm sorry I'm not so much into English football slang, most of the words written here can be sometime difficult to understand. Every sport article regarding English football and Newcastle I get from Swedish and danish sports paper/INTERNET.

I should imagine Newcastle are simply just trying to survive atm.

I watched the game on tv and Sky only broadcast it because there were expectations a giant killing was on the cards.

Maybe he was just talking about Wenger's offer... that man seems to think inflation is a myth and still offers 1990's fees.

I don't disagree but I think Pardew was talking a bit of both.

Cabaye still has three years on his contract so I expect he'll go to Arsenal nearer the end of the transfer deadline for maybe £15 million.

Not a footy fan, but, what a shame. NOT.

Did you know that most of the people I work with prefer the English Premiership due to the fact several teams have a chance of winning it?

Scottish Premier League: Rangers or Celtic, Celtic or Rangers. Oops, there go Rangers. Celtic or Celtic?

Off to Elland Road today Leeds v QPR I think it will be a hard match but Leeds to end up 2-1 winners

[Jimbuna]

I fancy QPR to sneak it 1-0

Here's a question about betting or something that's a sort of.

In Denmark and Sweden we called it Tips

Here's a page from the Swedish play(=svenska Spel)

What you see is Stryktipset. It is in Swedish but look at the coupon

It's for next week(36) playround

Match 1 is: Bradford Vs Brentford
Match 2 is: Brist C Vs Shrewb.
and so on until match 13

You must find the correct sign(sorry I don't know the correct words Here we called it tegn=sign). Said in a long story, you have to find out if it's a home win(1) a draw(x) or a guest win(2) in every of these 13 matches.

I know I have asked about this before in one of our old NFL-thread, but I can't remember getting any answer to it( I can't find this thread)

We have lots of betting here to. We called it Oddset

Ohh by the way-my team won today-Hurray

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Here in the UK we call it 'Fixed Odds Betting' a home or away win or a draw.

Ben Arfa certainly done the business for us today

Palace as well in beating the mackems (a Brit jibe)

In this sometimes horrible world full of murderers, rapists, crooks and thieves.
With wars being fought on a daily basis and young children starving in some areas I often get really sad and depressed and to the edge of giving up.

It's at these low points that I have to take time out and thank the lord I don't support West Ham.

1-0 Liverpool
