The second FA Cup Semi final was a real cracker. 65 minutes of City dominance followed by 25 minutes of Chelsea dominance. A fair result.

Dunno about 65/25 as a ratio TBH. I did really enjoy the game though. Very open and flowed nicely. Thought a draw would have been fairer after the late rally from Chelski. They were useless early on though.

I may follow suit and strike them off my potential punting list!

You're right tho, I do feel let down..... don't get me wrong I have missed out with a single results before (once with a potential £18k win) but this one was particularly annoying!

It's similar with the Italians. Their results often seem to be quite unpredictable.

Indeed.

Unless you listen to something like the Football Ramble podcast you generally struggle to get much knowledge of how teams are playing in 4/5/6 different leagues.

For example, at the moment you're not that likely to think Liverpool would draw at Reading if you were a Juventus fan who doesn't watch English footie.

Still, good fun to have an accy on.

Totally. I'll quite happily admit my knowledge of European domestic football other than maybe the Spanish League is rather basic.

Disagree on the LFC chat tho, even the Juve fans know Liverpool are terrible!

Agree on the acca tho, it makes my weekend!

Might have to give it a listen. The football weekly which is done by the Guardian is quite good as well.

I need something to keep me entertained driving to Abu Dhabi every day!

If any of you die hard gamblers want a flutter, how about Wigan beating Man City tomorrow night? I read somewhere that Wigan were 10/1 against despite needing all three points desperately. City may well rest at least 7-8 of the semi final starting eleven and will have bugger all to play for bearing in mind that those also chasing CL spots have to play each other in the final few weeks. Just a thought for those looking to make an easy buck.

It's good odds considering the points but I just couldn't bring myself to bet against my own club.

I cannot see them losing. They are not going to gift the title to manure.

Chelsea odds for the Liverpool game are 3.4 on Bet365..... worth a punt!

Comes in around 9.5 with United (Villa) and City (Spurs) included.
