Towards the end of last season I hit on a mildly rewarding betting strategy. It was never going to worry Paddy Power much, but it made football betting slightly better than the normal minuscule odds normally offered. Spread betting and exchanges just scare the crap out of me because I must confess to being something of a babe in the woods when it comes to the world of gambling.
Anyway, my beloved Arsenal, away at Everton, worried me sufficiently to avoid placing a wager of any sort. I needn't have worried, had I?
Liverpool would have rather messed things up though - which in hindsight would have made for a dead grumpy Sunday evening, made worse by Spurs winning.
So just as well I never put a bet on.
Thick and fast already. Celtic tomorrow, ECL Qualifier. Again (and this is terrible on my part - especially on the back of the video and Saturday) I'm not certain. It will be a very big game, that's for sure. If we continue our free-scoring habit (please O Footballing Gods) and bag a few at Celtic Park it will be much more comfortable back at the Grove.
It will be a fun night for anyone going. U2 are playing at Hampden and it's down as a sell out at Parkhead, so everyone will be packed into Glasgow like sardines. The Undertones are playing before the game - handy if you have a cousin called Kevin.
As Bono is alleged to be a Celtic fan, to everyone having a rubbish night at Hampden because Bono would rather be down the road, and then him getting all stroppy on account of getting the result fed through to him and being a bit under par and cutting his encores short cos he's got the hump about the result, to all of you guys, I hope you have a wonderful night. II not...
Welcome to the disappointment.

We can't both be right, it's probably me.
