WhatAboutTheFinish

If anybody actually knows of a more efficient way to calculate the probability of a sporting result than the betting markets….please let me know. I’d be a millionaire in week!

Of course the true Villa way will be not win the Europa Conference, finish 4th, then knocked out of Champions League qualifiers by Qarabag in mid August.

When I heard ‘long range’ the first goal I thought of was this effort from Deano… He also had a couple of other great goals that stick in my memory. This one against Wimbledon… And my personal favourite was a goal he scored against Norwich away on a Wednesday night. It might have been a little closer but it was off the back of some lovely team play. Unfortunately I can’t find a video of it…so I’ll just have to trust my memory that it was superb!

I managed to pick up 4 for the whole family yesterday so result!

Does anyone know when they usually release the unsold Terrace View/Lower Grounds seats?

For transparency, they raised 170m in revenue, that's not what they 'made'. Turnover for show, profits for dough!

About a quarter of what Harry made?!

It says something about my musical knowledge when the only one that came to me instantly was...

And then play him on the right ahead of Alexander-Arnold!

Hang on…did I just hear “Bank holiday”?!

It's so we can buy wreaths to lay in memory of the last time we saw some decent football.

Any streams available of your washing drying? Probably more entertaining than this game!

Been a long time since I've signed up to any new sites so I can't give definitive answers but as far as I think... 1. Most sites should have a button somewhere you can click to convert the odds into the format you prefer. If you can't find it you can compare on a converter site such as this. 2. Maybe...but unlikely. I think most places only award you the free bet after the first bet has been settled. You'll be able to put the bet on whatever you want (some sites have minimum odds requirements) but you'll only be able to put it on after the ENG ISR game has finished. 3. Yes, certainly it is easy to get money back from most of the more well known sites. 4. Lots of other things to consider. Be sure to know that with your free bets you won't get the stake element back. eg. If you back something at 2/1 with a free bet tenner you'll just be returned £20 not £30. Be careful of wagering requirements! Some sites offer a free bet but then insist you gamble it 5, 10 or even 20 times before you can withdraw it. Also..I like to gamble but I think there are plenty of others who could advise on you being able to guarantee money back on your free bets by laying them off on an an exchange...not my bag due to the lack of buzz but I'm sure more prudent VT'ers can help with that.

Think you may be overthinking this a little, I'm fairly sure most kids who get to "ball boy" would be thrilled to be stood next to a megastar. Hell, when I was a 15 year old boy I'd have volunteered to lick the sweat off Steffi Graf's armpits myself, never mind hand her a towel!

Don’t get my hopes up, don’t get my hopes up, don’t get my hopes up… Too late, I think we’re going to win this!

Definitely just 2 episodes remaining. The last of which has a running time of over two and half hours! Hard to see how it can top Ep7 though!!

You a classic or skate guy?

I think you may be missing the point. They want a ‘proper’ low tax, low spend, low regulation Tory at the helm. Same reason the likes of David Davies were so vocal about all this.

When did you put this bet on, half time? Never really thought about multiples mid game…but it looks like you might be on to something!

No favours for toddlers from democratic leaders!

Interesting that you’ve brought Grozny into the debate over the last page or two. Were the Russians there violent suppressors of a group seeking self determination or a sovereign nation defending it’s territory against terrorists. Does Chechnya have any greater right to independence than Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk?

Just to play devil’s advocate for a second, I am sure that Russians will claim that the Ukrainian army were storing weapons/personnel at the location in question and thus it was a legitimate target.

She began to grate in season 5? I hated her with a passion from start to finish!

I'm working off limited info here but for what limited worth my opinion holds...here it is! If she slept with someone once (drunk or at a work event etc) and immediately regretted it and tried to cover it up. My advice is to suck it up (even if its painful) and try to get over it. Particularly if all has been well between you since. People make mistakes, if you love her you can forgive her. The lies may well have been what she deemed the best course of action to protect you from the hurt as much as herself. If on the other hand she was involved in some huge long standing affair (months or years) behind your back, this may be a bigger problem as it reveals more about her true character. You have to ask yourself if this is really the type of person you want to be with. Finally, and this may be contrary to to other advice. Whatever you do, do it for yourself. Don't use the kids as a screen or reasoning for your decision making. Long term, what is best for you, will be best for the kids.

I’d have thought that 25 minutes is plenty of time to lace wor boots up!
