^ ^  I'm celebrating f*ck City night.  Betting on the Spurs +1.5 at 2.08ish.  And I'm not stopping there.  I got Watford ML at 1.93ish vs Huddersfield, Leicester ML at 2.32ish vs Wet Ham, Newcastle ML at 2.52ish vs Southampton and Everton +0 at 2.35ish vs United.  

F*ck City and f*ck football.  

*mic drop*

Rimors have it that up 8 players wanna leave City including Sane and Jesus.  This, coming out after City failed to progress to the semi final.  Hmmm... 

^  I fear for City...  Again.  The next three matches (yup, Burnely match included) will be make or break for them if they get to win the league or not.  I think there's some value in Burnley +2 goals at 1.99 at Nitrogen.  I mean fatigue has to set in by that fixture.

Anyway just a couple of hours now...

Thanks to the Puertorican for letting me use this content.

^  Lol.  I think Woodward is def staying away from the transfer window this summer and should start looking for a sporting director anytime soon now. 

Ajax ftw!

^  Two errors by Laporte.  At least it wasn't a semi final or worse, a final.  Lol.  Something like that could cause something like PTSD for the weak minded. 

Now I reeeaally fear for City.  What if Liverpool wins the league and the CL.  Lololol.

All I can say is f*ck Laporte and f*ck VAR (twice).  I shall be supporting Ajax to win it!

That is all.

Edit:  Two guys left.

BCT's CL Pool Side Bet:  Which Club Progresses the Furthest?

buwaytress:  LFC
hahay:  Barca

Three CB's plus Walker??

Anyway I think Pep needs to mix it up.  Bring back Sane to the left and Sterling to the right with Aguero or Jesus (to really mix it up) slightly more forward in between.

Start KDB and hope Fernandinho is healthy enough to start too.

Rumors are going around that Sarri is gonna go back to Roma.  Lol.  I wonder who's gonna be his replacement at Chelsea.

Oddschecker has these lines with Simeone as the favorite:  https://www.oddschecker.com/football/manager-specials/chelsea/next-permanent-manager

I doubt he's going there tho...  Unless he's desperate. 

The most ideal, most awesomest scenario for me is a City vs Ajax semi final followed by a City vs Barca final.  I mean Liverpool would be awesome too but Pep vs his old club with CL gold up for grabs is just something much more interesting imho.

Edit:  Tottenham ML at 10.47 looks nice.  Hmmmm...  Again I fear for City.

^  Cool...  Are you planning on getting a no KYC/AML exchange online too?  That would be awesome.  Lol. 

Sorry man.    I was (half) rooting for Juve cos Ronaldo.  Would love to see him play vs Messi in the CL that isn't an El Classico match.  I really thought it was their time.

I fear for City.  The other guy who's got Pep's number besides Klopp is Poch.  I think Poch also won a derby vs Pep at La Liga.  Pep had the best assembled squad in the world that time with Barca, Poch was at Espanyol.

Anyway you get the point.

At how much do the sport betting sites usually start getting worried and request for your ID and documents?  I bet small, so I wouldn't know.

And I've never seen so much people complain about it than here at BCT.  In online poker it's like just another thing to do if you wanna start playing at some site and be able to withdraw your money.  Lol.

Against Whitaker...?  Dunno.  It feels like it's gonna be close to a coin flip.  I'd happily take Whitaker as a slight underdog.  Let's hope the bookies get the lines wrong at open.  

And still...  At a coin flip I'd still take Whitaker.

^  That usually goes without saying.  But how much did you get the -1.5 bet for?  I'd go that far if the line is close to 3 and it has to be at home. 

A part of me hopes the final will be Man City vs Liverpool.  This def would show the world that English football is back.  And with City and LFC battling it out at the EPL too...  

Edit:  Huge bragging rights for the club who wins both.

Hah!  Burnley away after playing the Spurs and United (plus the CL match vs the Spurs before that), and winning would be a miracle.  I feel that's a draw.

^  Try getting him into football.  Start them young. 

I'm not watching any of the matches, I just check the scores atm.  Sometimes I need to stay away from watching and reading about it from time to time.
