Poker - Not played much, bit more late November. Popped my calf playing Indoor Cricket OUCH. Been on crutches until yesterday !!!!!!!
Dabbled in a few MTTs, only 1 FT to write home about and a slight loss in £££.
One gripe, Crypto has changed the 11pm competition, NOT happy !!!

Villa sit 5th in the Premiership at the moment and to be realistic thats the best i am sure we can hope for. Good results against Arsenal and Man Utd mixed in with Stoke,Boro and Fulham says it all.

Had a great day out at Wembley for the 2nd International Series match.
New Orleans Saints 'Hosting' San Diego Chargers in a Week 8 Match up.
In a very entertaining and high scoring game the Saints ran out deserving winners beating the Chargers 37-32. Devery Henderson scoring the games first TD was in particular the highlight for my pocket £3 @ 22/1 very nice :)

Whilst typing next years game has been announced The Buccaneers of Tampa Bay will 'Host' The Patriots of New England on Sunday 25th October. A very good match up indeed for most ,but, i am personally disappointed. Having already seen the Pats and Tom Brady in the flesh at Dolphin Stadium a couple of years ago i was hoping to see, maybe Peyton and the Colts.
Well Simon and i will no doubt be their though ;)

The Dolphins are 7-5 right now. WOW who would have thought that after last seasons debacle !!!!!!
We sit tied with the Pats in the AFC East 1 game behind the Jets. Do i dare mention the P word ? I doubt it but Parcells and Sparano have done a mighty job to get us this far. In a funny kinda way Favre coming out of retirement was a blessing for the Fins because that allowed QB Chad Pennington to become available and we snapped him up in double quick time.
He isn't Peyton, Drew, Eli or Kurt but Chad has been solid and has got the offence doing just enough. The D headed by Joey Porter has looked above average and its all good just now.

NFL is big on SKYSPORTS and they run their Fantasy Competition every week.
In Week 10 guess what, yours truly only managed to win the Weekly Comp with 163 points :)
A Goody bag on its way but even better, each weekly winner goes into a prize draw. A trip for 2 to go to the Superbowl for the lucky person drawn out. A 1 in 17 chance to go to the Superbowl in Tampa in February would be a dream come true !!!!!!!
Winner is drawn out the first weekend of the playoffs, heres hoping :)

If you want to play go to NFLUK.COM , join (its free) go to GAMES then FANTASY FOOTBALL.
ps Simons already packed his case lol

Should be back at work Mon 8th Dec so will have to make the most of this week.
Now i can walk again i will be back at Hall Green, the regulars might have missed me ;)
So have the regulars on the £2 Betfair Forum Thread, will catch up with them very soon.

Well, finally got arsed to update.

Thx and GL
Neil
