Anyone here old enough to remember Resevoir Dogs ?

......

Double Agents:...

Green...

Whyte...

Gold...

Come On Home, Your Work Here Is Done.

Oh by the way, you guys were the three worst students in Spy School. It was all a joke in the pub one Thursday afternoon - we never thought for a moment that anyone would be daft enough to buy it.

Didn't you notice the names ? We'd had about six pints by then.

Still, while we were surprised that anyone believed your brand of outlandish nonsense; we were delighted at the élan which you have brought to this form of street theatre - too embarrassing and overdone even for the Edinburgh festival.

Still, it seems that not everyone had the wool pulled over their eyes...

Talk sport saying WHU have accepted an offer from Leeds for Matt Taylor, no other sources yet.

QPR have signed old boy colour blind (Gary O'Neill) on a one year contract.

A fine film, but I don't believe any of those people were in it

As for Green, amazed he is back at GR, the man was a nightmare at Sheff Utd, almost running them into the ground.

Phew, Celtic@scrapedthrough.com (Not a real thing). We were fcuking rubbish, fortunately so were our opponents. Celtic ought to have scored two goals in the first half - through Samaras and Ledley - both chances blown. Not too surprising as we were incapable of putting three passes together all night.

At the back we were about as together as confetti in a whirlwind. Ingramjohn, as it seems Kelvin Wilson is heading back to the City Ground - good luck, you'll need it. So long as we get our money back, I'd carry him there myself. Maybe he just likes the tattoo artists in Nottingham more than in Glasgow ?

Anyaway, My troops had better get up to speed PDQ, if we are to break into the money league this season. We lucked it against Barca, we took a pounding from Juve, but still...THREE qualifying rounds ??? THREE ??? For a team who managed to get to the last 16 ???

It seems that he desires to do the same to rangers. I'm no great fan of aunt sally {McCoist}, but I'd say he's shown a considerable level of character in a very difficult time for his club. McCoist is a PROPER rangers man, he loves his club, and will stand by them always. Good luck to him. If it comes down to fan-power, McCoist might be the man to keep rangers together.

And yet I wish...

What sort of markets do you focus on?

Me and Ing are always on the over 1.5 and both to score markets, there are a few decent leagues out there.

Don;t usually go for straight win trebles but will keep going until I hit a poor run.

First thoughts for Saturday are

WOLVES v Gillingham 4/6
WATFORD v Bournemouth 7/10
IPSWICH v Millwall evens
BURTON v Rochdale 6/5

A dead Brazilian on that lot is £124.67

Will wait until I leave for football on Saturday before settling on anythin

I'd be wary of including Wolves in anything... and I say this as a season ticket holder... We're a bit lightweight at the moment, particularly in defence, midfield and upfront...

to Lyon 2 0 agg. One more to go through CL Stage groups.

Nice for Celtic too but it seems (0 0 away) that was hard.

Ligue 1 is back on friday

.2 monthes without football ,it must be hell!

Louis Saha announces retirement

Saha said: "Want to thks all managers, all staffs, all teammates, all opponents, all fans, for all support and love towards me during my football career.
"I'm a proud man but without you all I won't be myself now. Thx for the challenges thx for the help thx for the memories thx for the passion.
"I will stop to be call a professionnel footballer and wish many young talent to enjoy as much as me my football. Love you and thx again."

A decent player that could have been a very good player had injuries not prevented him from fulfilling his potential after leaving Fulham. He just never seemed to really stay fit enough for long enough to show what he could do.

**victor meldrew** · August 8th, 2013, 01:12 PM

A league cup banana skin as we draw Cheltenham at home in the LC at least we avoided Millwall and the fisticuffs

Just seen the England squad and good news for Ricky Lambert and Zaha, other than that the usual suspects.

Brendan Rodgers has denied he or anyone at Liverpool made any promises to Suarez, which if true, make me wonder why Arsenal would wish to stain a decent reputation as a Football club, to sign a dubious character like him.

The Suarez situation with this supposed clause gets very confusing. The PFA bloke seems to be slightly confused as he says its not a buy out clause but an agreement that all sides will discuss things if the minimum figure is reached. He however then says "There is a 'good faith' clause in relation to serious discussions but I can't say it is cast-iron buy-out clause. So it is not a buy out clause as such but its arguable that the good faith clause is the same sort of thing but based on a verbal agreement. They may have agreed verbally to what Suarez is talking about and it was put into the good faith clause.

The funny thing is this is not supposed to happen. Suarez's agent cannot be that good because usually agents make sure everything is crystal clear when it comes to their clients future. Somehow this clause has been inserted into the contract and neither side knows for sure what it actually means.
