game most books would move the line a little, However the big books would just sit and even take layoffs
from the small stores, They knew even if the squares
got hot in the end the juice would eat em up.Gone are the days when Billy Walters and his crew would move the line 3 and 4
points, I'm talking sides not totals, Forget about what they did to the horseshoe with totals in the NBA, Back then you could catch small non computerized stores with bad lines to begin with, imagine a three
point move and the small store or corner bookie is off on the line a few
points to begin with, I could catch some
game with 6 and seven
point advantages, with computers today if you can catch a half or one
point advantage your lucky.Even if you know the group moving the line most of these store move the lines on air, when I say air they just watch the screen
from D.B. And move the line before they even
get hit, Hell even the big stores have the sharps on small limits per call.

games will ultimately provide a great chance for other players if we don't
get at least 4
points from Bayern.
Catching Chelsea would mean, an abundance of luck, no more injuries (When Chelsea will
get crucial ones, Fabregas, Costa, Courtois and defenders as examples), a tactical enlightenment
from Wenger (that would call for a miracle), beat Man United, Man City, Chelsea at Home and not waist
points against Liverpool and win all the odds
games against the lower teams (as well as being kicked out of the CL and not go far in the Uefa Cup as we don't have the squad to do either anyway).
You might feel Chelsea / Mourinho
get too much praise for big
games but by comparison Chelsea
got by comparison 20

game from Keef and maybe Gortat has one of those vintage 10
point 10 rebound

point from this
game after Alexis Sanchez gave us the lead on the stroke of half time is hard to take.
In all honesty the job was done we went away to united and
got a
point a valid
point I am delighted Its
games like that that we need to make a
point we marsh on the unit
gets stronger on to Wednesday where we pick it up where we left
from and move up with it
but the atmosphere at emirates is sad like terrible u look at anfield and it hurts me because we're such poorly ran club
from fans
point view we're are diehards all splits all over stadium joke we need leaders at arsenal top too bottom but this arsenal is not arsenal of old were is our Tony Adams ray palour, we're is our pride how dear man Utd
get Sanchez like how dear even ask pride is word here folks we have none as in overheads us fans are joke like boycott next
game stay away or go and stand outside stadium for full match stand together stand tall we will be heard we are arsenal we are there customers we are Gona make change but by money cause that's wat this club is money and Sanchez Utd proves it
The Gunners
got themselves together and bounced back though, winning every
game except the draw away to Chelsea and that was a big plus
point for us as well, so we were all set to come back
from the second break in fine fettle and raring to go then?
I know some gooners would want 3
points from this
game, but
getting a draw away at Stamford bridge against a strong Chelsea side is just as good as a win and it can be a confidence boost for the players.
«You look back at some of the defeats
from the beginning of the season, and some of the
points we dropped, and it is frustrating, because we would be right there or thereabouts now if we had
got something
from those
games.
I tell you
from a footballing
point of view scoring 8 goals you
got have players that know where the goal posts are it takes energy and creativity to score 8 yes I agree vikings changed their players because their league is starting i think tomorrow so yes they were not a big team team but to say that Arsenal were not strong thats a bit to much and I say it again you need energy and creativity to score 8 I was very happy they did that Arsenal are well known for creating chances yesterday they converted them chances into Goals this should be the norm and I hope this will give them a lesson on how to win a
game as they did nt dwell about with the ball it was goal after goal and that tells me that they went for the goals directly and I hope and wish the young guns all the best and to do well in the next season
The 24 - year - old
from Slovakia may be one of the most surprising finalists we've seen in awhile, but she's
got all the talent required to reach this
point and is definitely a
game opponent for Li.
Horrible 2nd half but a few years ago this is a
game we would've buckled under
from the pressure so credit to the boys for
getting the 3
points.
