Difficult but good thing it only costs 5€ per week.

We have the same system in Denmark and Sweden.

In Denmark it is called tips13
In Sweden Strycktips.

I use to make some row-mostly a reduced system on the Danish Tips13.

I knew Sweden had similar where it propably came to Finland. Denmark was a surprise even though I spent many summers there in late 80's and early 90's. -92 summer was wild....

In Finland it is called Vakioveikkaus (standard betting) and it started as early as 1940. Wars of course cut off few years.

We have 5 guys in our group and we have done it for decades.

U-system - This is very difficult to translate this into English-I get
Way out

The club were criticised for buying players shortly after announcing 55 redundancies - mainly affecting the commercial and administrative departments - on 5 August.

Senior staff, including manager Mikel Arteta and his players, took pay cuts.

"I would be lying if I said there had not been sleepless nights," Venkatesham said.

Nine days after announcing the redundancies, Arsenal signed Willian on a three-year deal from Chelsea, before paying Lille £23.14m for Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhaes at the beginning of September.

But Venkatesham indicated that top-level clubs are facing financial uncertainty even as they invest in players.

The European Clubs' Association - which represents professional clubs across Uefa's jurisdiction - has estimated this week that the overall losses being borne by their members will be around £3.7bn.

It's been a busy week for the Magpies so far, with three new signings through the door.

Jamal Lewis joined Monday recruits Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser on Tuesday, as Steve Bruce's squad for the coming season is closer to becoming finalised.

The United boss is still keen to bring more new faces to Tyneside, with some potential loan deals in mind, while some players could yet be moved on.

All that has been slightly overshadowed by a return to the takeover saga - Mike Ashley and NUFC delivering a strongly worded statement criticising the Premier League who responded equally as tough.

Meanwhile, the build up to Saturday's trip to West Ham continues for United, with Fraser taking part in his first training session.

Great start for the TOON last night beating West Ham 2-0 in London.

Great to see the new striker Callum Wilson opening the scoreline and free signing Jeff Hendrick scoring the other.

Plans for fans to return to watch live sport events in England from 1 October will not go ahead, says cabinet office minister Michael Gove.

TOON beat Morecambe 0-7 in EFL CUP - THIRD ROUND last night.

Only a division two side admittedly but the way we are playing atm, any winning result is to be welcomed.

[Jimbuna]

A deal for the Premier League to support lower-league clubs during the coronavirus pandemic "could be reached this coming week".

Plans for some fans to return to stadiums from 1 October will not go ahead because of the rising number of coronavirus cases, and it is feared the postponement could have a "devastating" impact on clubs.

Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said England's top division needs to "start looking after the football family as a whole" and he was hopeful an agreement could be made over the coming days.

"I've been in touch with the Premier League a lot over the past few days. They are working closely with the EFL to see how they can support them," said Dowden.

"The Prime Minister and I have been clear: the Premier League needs to start looking after the football family as a whole, and indeed they are having productive conversations.

"I am hopeful that they will reach a deal this coming week in relation to that, and then beyond that, look across at all sports."

Better late than never I suppose.

[Jimbuna]

Can't believe TOON scored a 90+7 penalty to get a point in a game where Spurs were light years ahead of them in every department.

A point is a point I suppose and Bruce will be a far happier manager than Mourinho atm

I have tried to find an English article about this story, which involve 36 years old Eoin Bradley From Ireland.

In the Swedish article it was said he peed on the grass field and got 6 days quarantine for this episode.

I think the punishment was to weak for such a behavior.

TOON play Newport in the fourth round of the league cup tonight.

[Jimbuna]

TOON equalised with a few minutes to go then won 5-4 in a penalty shootout.

Very very lucky.

[Jimbuna]

TOON climb to the dizzy heights of sixth after a 3-1 home victory over Burnley.

Joke Linton once more proved that his true value is closer to £40 and not the £40 million paid for him.

I think it is long overdue for Jacob Murphy to be given his chance and be picked ahead of Linton.
