Come along all you clever ones !! (MegaMug excluded) WHY is this?????

Mafia.

Only thing i can think of,  there's literally no reason their odds should be as high as that,  1.6's tops i'd have given them,  that's being generous

0-0, hope your mortgage is still ok GTFI

btw, Who is MegaMug ?

i often find if odds seem to good to be true they normally are

As i said,  the odds were way too high, and as 11kv also said,  it was an obvious mafia game,  surprising how many of htem appear in Italian games.

MegaMug,  he knows who he is,  its a nickname for him,    he'll comment sooner or later,  when his giro lands for the week/fortnight

Not sure about all this mafia nonsense - i watched some of the game and it was decent enough, not a typical 0-0, 27 goal attempts with 8 on target (evenly split between the two sides).

Do you mean mesmerised ? He doesn't seem to post on the football forum any more.

no it wasn't mesmerised,  let melook it up,  had PM's with him at point,  it was Mega something,  but he acted like a clown so called him MegaMug lol

Mega88,    altohugh denying it,  i recon he had/has a couple of other alieses too,  constantly posted cigar pics from his make believe yacht lol,   like marmte,  love him or loathe him,  take with a pinch of salt,  but he takes what he gives,  so all good with me

Don't recall seeing him lately.  Mesmerised appears to be posting on the tennis forum so hasn't completely left these hallowed pages.
It's generally pretty quiet on here now with various bans handed out, including Whispering Death who i expected to be back by now, maybe he's had enough too.

I'd be guessing Whisperingdeath is on a years ban, which really doesn't surprise me.. He was becoming more and more irate at current affairs.. Mostly to do with race..

I always thought he was a decent chap, Just misguided (Arsenal fan)

He is a decent bloke and quite knowledgeable about cricket. I got on well with him. I think he liked his local team, Gillingham, too.

WD could be a bit of a numpty at times on the politics forum but i'm not sure why having an opinion should get such a long ban. We all see things differently

Yes he is a Gills fan Foin as well as the Arsenal, just like i follow them and EFC. Although we don't actually know each other we would both have attended many of the same games when we were teenagers in the 70s so share a lot of memories. Same with cricket, we were both playing for local sides at that time. WD would have had a lot to say about our dismal efforts in the Ashes and the forum was a poorer place for his absence.

Wd was not a numpty.

Some idiots on here need calling out

I did not say he WAS a numpty , just that he could be AT TIMES. As i have often stated, we got on well even though our politics come from different places, as we had many shared experiences in the past. Unfortunately he was prone to being OTT on occasions, not a problem for people like me but evidently so with others, presumably including the mods.

And there are idiots on all sides of the political divide ( including the left ) who need "calling out". It is not just the preserve of people with WD's political leanings to do so.

We don't know he has a long ban, indeed we dont
know he has any ban.

He could have simply walked away and deactivated his
account because of all of the idiots.

Some folk are contactable elsewhere, sadly I had
no other contact with wd, so lose his input, and
do not know the circumstance of his absence.

The reporters will claim him as a scalp for their belts.

The old groovy gang reporting club on yootube are nearly
all gone too, except for the returning idiots.

He could have simply walked away and deactivated his
account because of all of the idiots.

1000/1.... and laughable.. I'm sure WD isn't happy about that suggestion. He was as game as anyone, on here..

There's plenty of opposite opinions, causing barbed insults to be thrown around on here. There's only a few going too far or taking it all too seriously... imo.

I think he liked his local team, Gillingham, too.

Fecking Gillingham!  I'm so sorry.. If true. 

I wish I could have 1000 on all those I know who
have deactivated.

It is unlikely, but possible, and a balance to the
speculation.

Sometimes I look in on the Politics and the Racing forums and on some threads I think why would anyone want to put themselves through this madness! -..

When I was a kid, I had an uncle who sat by his window, waiting for people to turn their cars on his driveway.. He'd go charging out swearing looking for trouble. That was the type of person he was.

You get proper football in League 2 Emitdeb not so much of the technical borefest of the Premiership.
Gills have a lot of loyal fans.

... My sympathies were for the fact that he lives there.. Not the football team.  (****)

No offence.

(S***Hole)

Being somewhat isolated in mid Kent (as far as the EFL goes) the Gills do indeed have loyal fans. The trips to Wembley for the play offs a few years ago bear this out with 35 to 40 thousand Gills followers attending, the catchment area is huge.  However only a hardcore 5 to 6 thousand regularly attend home games. Attempts to move to a new stadium have been thwarted over the years unfortunately. Lots of Gills fans do of course support EPL clubs as well and with London being under an hour away by train they go and watch the bigger clubs instead of their local side.

Which salubrious locale do you call home then Emit ?  I believe WD is/was actually in Brompton from memory, rather than in the town itself.

Which salubrious locale do you call home then Emit ?

Are you coming to call? Or preparing a retaliatory bomb to drop on my bunker?

It's a secret anyways...

Might be Bexleyheath..

Where's Brompton?

WD once told me that he had an enjoyable time when he visited my locale but that was when the bins used to be collected regularly.

oh.. I see now.

Doesn't surprise me Foinavon, any excuse to get out of Gillingham... I'm not keen on the place.. tbh.

Brompton is a small village between Chatham and Gillingham, basically next door to the dockyard.
The barracks there are the home of the Royal Engineers.
Medway generally is steeped in history.

New Brompton was the original name of Gillingham FC.

to answer the OPs original question, Sampdoria seem to be outperforming Catanzaro on the underlying data across the season; even more so if we narrow it down to recent months
