Derek McGovern at it again

Over2.5, very strong words about a person you don't even know.

Kenilworth why don't you tell us all what your connection to the RP is?

Fwiw the Spurs bet is by no means the worst tip the mcgovern mug has put up. Spurs were unfortunate in some of their early games and deserve to have more points on the board than they do. The opposite can be said of manU, who have not always looked totally convincing in their last four games, all of which they have won. I have actually put up the draw in my selections this week. The thing that puts me off backing Spurs for the win is the abysmal record they have there and the unwillingness of referees to allow away wins at Old trafford in the premiership. Mcgovern may well be an ass as the OP suggests, but not for putting up this selection imo.

Rodan, I have no connection with the Racing Post.

Dirk is one small minded and jealous little boy.

Like a lot of the mancs on here.

The Mcgovern thread stopped when he was churning out winner after winner, of course that's not what the monkeys wanted. It goes back up periodically after a couple of losers.

Mcgovern bang on the money today - Spuds scream value against a very mediocre side.




>>>Lol Derek, I hate Manyoo actually. Small Minded? Mugsy has the intellect of a turnip.

Winner afetr winner???

Fair enough Ken, you're certainly keen to leap to the defense of their staff on here whenever they get some stick. The Spurs manU game is a really interesting prospect from a betting point of view. Taking the current standings of both teams into account I think it's a pity todays game isn't at WHL. That would make for a really interesting contest.

... The thing that puts me off backing Spurs for the win is the abysmal record they have there and the unwillingness of referees to allow away wins at Old trafford in the premiership.

rodan, the above statement(s) tell me that your judgement is suspect
if you allow such meaningless reasons to influence your judgement.

"Rodan, I have no connection with the Racing Post."



Then why do you leap to their defence all the time? why do you care?

dear me. A tipster occasionally goes against united and its enough to get their fans all thinskinned and butt-hurt. lol

"and the unwillingness of referees to allow away wins at Old trafford in the premiership."

What tripe

Because I don't think the criticism or villification
is justified. Is that not allowed ?

A tipster occasionally goes against united

lol freddie

Ken you may be of the opinion that past performance is no indicator towards what may happen in the future. I am not. Strange, for some reason I had you down as a stats person, perhaps I was wrong? My "suspect judgement", as you put it, gets tested each week in TMOs thread and stands up to public scrutiny. Perhaps you might like to get involved and pit your own judgement against mine?

No thank you. That type of guessing is
for juveniles.

i'm guessing a group hug for dereks out of the question

The bookmakers ignore pat history also. Are they also wrong to think that way ?

The bookmakers ignore past history? What are you on?

Bookmakers ignore past head to heads, that is a fact.
Tell me when I am wrong.

Kenilworth: You're an idiot.

ttt

Couldn't make it up

Smacks of a moneytree special here.

He's a mug, but the World is full of lucky idiots who get promoted past their abilities. Muggovern is just a lucky scouser who was probably in the right place at the right time, got some breaks, got on TV and got his awful column in the mirror.

He's just a tragically unfunny man who is bilious in the extreme, a typical scouser really. Not funny at all, and not adult enough to do a professional job without his hatred of everything Manchester getting in the way.


A pathetic little t**t.




Thanks Mr Mcgovern, all greened up @ 1.44. What a brilliant tipster that man is. I know all those seethers will ocme on and congratulate him for sourcing a 6.8 winner

No way you backed spurs you pathetic little aftertiming coward... post you bet ?? thanks in advance

There you go sir. For reasons I cannot share with you I am forbidden from posting any bets made. But I did signpost the bet for you & once again lemmings aplenty come to bash. Not going the match today IQ 2.5. Fergie to be sacked again IQ 2.5?

How come you are more concerned about an inane thread on a forum than your 'OWN' (& I use the term scoffingly!) teams match. Incredible scenes.

charwell wheres your bet ???

Lol I was laughing to myself on the way home I just knew this thread was going to be near the top

can you read IQ 2.5?

& please respond to my questions mug. ta.

Has that grin from ear to ear gone yet?

charwell = skint mug that certainly never backed spurs

Sure IQ 2.5 that must be it.

Enjoy the rest of the game.

Derek Wins Again..

He always does, but like rats on the proverbial ship they will all scuttle off and fail to applaud a magnificent 5/1 winner for Degsy.

Those rose tinted specs the mancs wear do hinder their objectivity somewhat. An improving and talented side v a crumbling & fortunate declinign side.

5/1 yum yum, who says you can't eat value.

Top tipping

Where is your bet charwell?

charwell charwell wheres your bet ?? could have swore i heard that ringing around old trafford at the end

So much for the ''head''to head stats !

Here's another good stats, concerning Chelsea and Drogba.
In the last 33 games between Arsenal and Chelsea..
WITH Drogba playing, 7 wins, 3 draws from 11
WITHOUT Drogba, 0 wins, 9 draws from 22.
No Drogba today, Chelsea win 2-1. how can
that happen?

Something to ponder on.

someone ttt the other thread ?? this forum is dead i need a laugh at derek again




You couldn't write the script.

His acca is looking nice as well - needs QPR tomorrow for a 20/1

His acca's, your acca's, everbody's acca's are the
reason why bookmakers drive around in big cars.
Something else to ponder on.

Serious q - why do you bother posting on threads like these so often kenilworth ?

''threads like these''? Could you be more specific ?

Cant knock him for this...great tip

Yeah, well done, Derek, great spot.

Derek McGovern, updated P/L: -£10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000m.

Not bought newspapers for years but from what i recall of McGovern in The Sporting Life & Mirror he was far from the worst tipster so hard to see why we have all these threads that suggest he is .

Maybe just as he usually picks out odds against tips and therefore inevitably picks more losers than winners, while most on this forum just back the odds on fav in any match they can find one

Wether he is winning over time i don't know but surely if he is so useless the people taking the p!ss could start a thread listing their picks against his and see how they compare in the results.

Love it scousers benefiting from Man U losing,well done Derek great shout lad

Oh Derek boy,done me up like a kipper with this thread lol

Tobes it's all to do with the fact he nearly always opposes Utd/Everton and nearly always backs Liverpool. As usual it's the blatant tribalism in football and its merely a Liverpool v Utd /Everton thing, his tips on the most part are usually quite poor in all honesty he is fairly amusing although some of his jokes must come out of crackers

In fairness he comes out with some serious clangers most weeks with little or no thought into his picks 'I'm not having that no way' .. I recall him Xmas last year saying put your Christmas savings on Chelsea -1 away to Wigan,it will buy all the presents you want lol ended 1-1

The last couple of posts are absolutely nonsense. McGovern is on the wind up
most of the time, his tips are just quick stabs, some win, some lose, etc,
etc, but if he mentions l'pool, ManU or Everton he reels in a few dummies.
His jokes are not very funny ? Oh, dear, perhaps the Mirror ought to tell
him to get a new joke book. LOL.

Ken its only worth posting on here when your on a thread.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think you were a bookie. I can why your not now

4/7 home, 9/2 draw, 9/2 away  !!!!!

There you are LUKE. Thought you'd left the country. Glad to see you've got a sense of humour. It's sod's law that when you put up a thread like this it nearly always goes tit$ up, ask Dawsey.

Still if nothing else you managed to lure Over2.5 into making a fool of himself again.

ok, noprogambler, the draw should have been shorter, the away
a bit longer, but for simplicity putting them together at 9/2
each equalled 7/4, with ManU at 4/7 = a 100% book and sometimes
on course you may see 4/7, 9/2,9/2 each on different boards.
Come racing !!

Charwell IS McGovern!

He sometimes makes mistakes and posts under his other forum name degsy42 (or something like that)

Amazing that nobody is onto him

Kenilworth, what I was really asking was why do you spend time on here arguing with mug punters ?

It seems like a waste of time because they aren`t teachable as all those threads about Value demonstrate..

RAPS, I don't know why I do it, it just irritates me this gratuitous
slaggging of professional journalists, commentators, pundits, etc.,
who will never come on here and lower themselves, so I feel I must
do it for them. I feel that by saying nothing I am agreeing with the
criticism in a way, and I can't help myself. GL

Fair enough, all the best

E'toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nah, that explanation seems a bit dodgy to me The mug professional pundits knight in shining armour.

I'm not a mug punter, Raps, and feel ably qualified to say McGovern is a mug of the highest standing.

No mug punter would ever accept that he was one.

The "tips" don't come from McGovern at all. The column is sponsored by Hills and the bets are chosen for him, all he does is add some poor jokes to them.

Marxist, that's interesting and not surprising when we think
about it.

Have left crystal hunt,I still listen to the willy hills podcast fri evenings for the chuckle ! Big Ron is mad for backing the draws

Fair does McGuff, you got it right and all your fans must now be rolling in it. Well Done

Only McGovern could tip Lyon tonight only for them to be thrashed by Sociedad

At least he didn't wait till the match
was over before giving his opinion.

McGovern would have only put up Lyon because he wont have heard of Real Sociedad. I'm amazed how bookies and publications still try and fund his comedy career by employing him as a tipster.

good read
Faulty Towers on Dave

20/1 ACCA 10/08/1013 - What a mug

He gets one right now and again.

Don't think it's supposed to be taken too-oo seriously.

And his newspaper column is often a bit of a giggle.

His jokes are good imo, one time he said "my gp told me to watch what I eat, so I went home and watched Racing uk" I thought that was a great one.

I think raspberry is spot on, besides I don't believe
McGovern ever claimed he would show a profit with his
picks, nor would anyone tipping one a day.

He is a typical scouser, always good for some banter. The sort Mancs love to hate. But he feels exactly the same about Mancs

He is a c r a p footie tipster though because of his hatred for Man U......

dessie, how bad IS he? do you keep
records of his tips? If not, why
throw the abuse?

Nothing abusive there kenilworth, just banter. If I were being abusive I would use the word c r a p (nor would he )

re degsy

onto him? onto what?

I think he meant sussed out his user names.....I'm sure there are more of them but hey, why you getting heated about it Kenilworth?

Hes only a comic journo who likes to throw stick out so let him take some

A 2009 quote:

"Bookies now quote Manchester United at odds-on to finish the season potless – but I doubt they’ll even do that well. Of course it’s far too early to write United off after just one defeat, but at the same time it’s terrific fun.

A year ago the Red Devils signed flop Dimitar Berbatov for £32million. Fergie publicly backs the bone-idle Bulgarian but privately must be searching everywhere for the receipt.

Fergie also picked up Michael Owen on a free but was still robbed. There’s even talk that Fergie’s job is on the line, with Hills quoting him at 9-2 not to be manager at the end of the season. But United are not a firing club. [b]United are a misfiring club."

Classic c r a p lol

Only just sent his "support suarez" tee shirt back for a refund claiming it as unsuitable......

dessie, I get irritated by people slagging of journalists
for having the audacity to tip a loser. It's not a hanging
offence!! So there!!! GL.

Its ok, his humor is great for him as there are a lot of ABUs out there love to see Man U slagged off. So dont take it to heart, if his subject matter concentrated on real journalism he might take less stick

As for his tips, well if people are foolish enough to follow him thats their business!! I suspect Mancs don't lose much where he is concerned

dessie u have probably the thinnest skin of any man u fan here. MugGovern is a shocking tipper, on football anyways. But if he tipped united at the usual crappy odds u get most days, would that make him a good tipper? Hardly. He obviously got it way wrong in 2009, which is what happens when u make judgements very early on. But when it comes to Owen and Berbatov he was pretty much spot on, Owen was one of fergie's least popular transfer punts and most of youz wanted rid of the Bulgarian in the end

Owen did his bit for us when required and not injured. His winner in the Derby will live with us forever

Berba you either loved or hated, but was hardly a poor buy when you consider Carroll and Torres!!! I didn't personally like Berba but I know a lot who did. Touch of genius, but not enough effort.

Only reason Owen was hated by you lot was he came to OT lol. Shame that

He's suggested we lump on Fenerbahce tonight,Reckons arsenal are in turmoil
But ignores the fact how shít Fenerbahce are

Hows that for after timing kenny boy

High class.

why was I not informed of this thread?

His 1 goal head start is gone, he needs Tblisi to win or draw here

must bump my old thread he hasnt picked a winner this season

Tbilisi +1 goal was his bet today,

Current state of proceedings-Tbilisi 0-5 Spurs

McGub strikes again
