April Review.

Sports: -£76.82. Poker: -£52.15. Total: -£128.97

What a nightmare. As mentioned in the previous post I have had a horrendous month on the fifty50s. Despite playing nearly 1000, I am somehow down even including bonuses! Over what period is it possible to run badly, is this normal? Sod it, I'm going to try the $10 ones anyway!

Sport has been no better, lost out on Nasri to win player of the year, I guess I could have laid off bits although the betfair liquidity was never really good :( It will be worse next month as I will include the ante post bets, which just like last year it looks to have cost me a packet by Arsenal not being in the top two :( Next season I will have to do one without them.

Speaking of which, I saw them against Man United today, they looked much better, maybe this was the future without Fabregas? Great to see Ramsay get the winner in his first home game back after the injury. And Arshavin running back and making important tackles, did I dream it?!?! Makes it all the more annoying as they should not just be top, but have already won the league :( :(

On the bright side, Chalfont ended with what could well be a record Premier Division total of 103 points, and we have a chance to get the double with a cup final win on Tuesday. I wore the shirt with pride today, and outside the Emirates someone asked about it and offered his congratulations, his mate is a Berkhamsted fan who have gone up from Divison One this year with even more points than we got! Best wishes to them also.

This was more enjoying than Arsenal winning the league tbh, grass roots football at it's best. I literally shuddered at the Real Madrid v Barca semi final last week. One of the worst games of football ever, both sides a disgrace to the game setting out to cheat from the start. Yes of course all sides have players that do it, (Eboue may know to whom I refer) but I have never seen a game where both teams had a single plan to dive, feign injury, and con the ref from the word go. Players carried off on stretchers only to run back on shortly after, running into others backs before going down clutching their face in agony, what a joke!

I would have liked to see bookings aplenty until 3 players were sent of from both sides to see if they got the message. I did laugh at Mourinho and his conspiracy theories, and even the fact that RM put the video on their website, showing the referees mistakes. Well all I can say is Arsenal could have produced one just about every week for the last two months.

Chelsea v Spurs again proved my point that there are corrupt officials in the premiership, it's starting to turn the game into a lottery. This is why I enjoy the non league game more!

Thanks for reading and good luck,
