Sorry to hear Motherwell are doing so bad Rocket ,its a place I have a soft spot for , mate of mine was from there ,one of the nicest people you could meet ,guy called Billy Straub  .Scottish champion flyweight in the 70s ,boxed against Ireland ..I'll not be taken up that bet for sentimental reasons ,good to see a betting thread ...

Rocket, what price do you make them on a 100% book ?

I'd have them in as jollies reb, between 6/4 and 8/5, certainly no bigger than the latter number and probably closer to the first if i had to make a book on it, but they're clear value in my book at all of the prices available.

I believe Man C wouldn't be unhappy with a 0-0 draw as that would keep the tie very much alive. I'm sure Mourinho hopes they go through!

Rocket, haven't a clue about Scottish football these days but if your opinion is correct then M'well worth a bet at 2/1 or over. Don't think they are available at 15/4 anywhere though, but open to correction.

Thanks callit. I see the correction now. With Skybet though so no good to me.

Pa, it might turn out to be a better spectacle but the difference between the Champion League and the Europa League is huge in terms of importance to the club owners. Hard to believe that Inter Milan are a mid-table team in a poor Serie A now relative to the situation of both in the 1990s.

That's a real tricky match the Inter v Celtic, easier matches to pick from.

I reckon Bayern best of UCL sides and deserve to be favs.

Athletico Madrid look very big at 16-1 to me.

Quite how RM are 4 and AM are 17 is beyond me. Simeone has the hex over their great rivals at the moment. Granted Real won the CL last year, but Athletico nearly made off with that too. They have remained in fine form this year, and though a bit off the pace in La Liga, that can work to their advantage. If Barca can beat RM in The Classico in a couple of weeks, then both of them will be battling to the wire. AM will have one goal. The Champions League.

They are twice the price of Chelsea, yet I would back them at evens in a two legged affair.

PP returning as a free football bet if ends in a draw(barca/city),online only to max £50 on Win/draw/win for anyone having a smallish bet on either of the two.

as things happen Wildman you are being a little unfair on rocket.
he is spot on about motherwell being the worst team in the division at this minute in time. for the last two weekends I dipped into the weekend highlights package on bbc Scotland, and what sticks out is that motherwell are a team in crisis. barraclough, is a gent having met him, alas, not a man to handle a crisis, and I reckon the players never fancied him from day 1, in his case he never probably "had" the dressing room to lose it. last Saturday, they got beat by a freak early goal by Dundee, a cross that the goalie misjudged. the final score may have been 1-0 to Dundee, it does an injustice to the winners, Dundee were value for 3 or 4, and motherwell never looked like having a shot on target, never mind scoring...for motherwell think aston villa in the premiership. the tv analyst pat nevin said they had lost 7 on the bounce and in his words had no idea where the next point was coming from.

at 5/2 average they do look tempting for bottom, on form.  however, they remain level on points with ross county and st Mirren, and after the next 6 games, the league splits in 2, and having the largest squad of the 3, they may scramble out, possibly with a change of manager. up until 8 days ago ross county had assembled 12 points from 24 games, back to back wins may paper over their cracks, and at 6/4 given their thin squad, they would be the one to punt if you had to get involved. Inverness should beat motherwell this weekend.

if you want an easy pick up to help the Cheltenham warchest...........the irish Eurovision final is on Friday night...all 5 entries are poor......my reliable contact says that rte will be pimping song 4, nikki Kavanagh...8/11 to 1/1 depending where you shop.....should be 1/100......I have had a punt

the second fav, you might be interested to know Wildman, is what an rte insider described to me as a "west brit, left footer, private school educated, 16 year old from puckane"...........that's gives you  sense of the undertones in the background, just punt Kavanagh.

Estonia Eurovision Winner (fwiw great words to their song).

Cheers KL, i think Motherwell have been the worst side in the league for a while now although i was not able to tip it up before, i put them worst side in the SPL since they were beaten in Inverness around the time Bara came in. They've had just 19 shots on target in the 10 matches since Baraclough has been made manager, which is staggering considering they were chasing a lot of those games.

TY  Kavvie

He couldn't tip it up because the poster he plagiarised it from hadn't yet posted it.

I like the sound of that Puckane native,hope its a good song that's maybe written by Shane McGowan.

slightly unsettling that boils still evens nikki   i often seen a score move a price from evens to 4/6  with them..

paddys of terryglass...ah the memorys!!

Their women are fantastic btw

I never realised blow up dolls were made in the Baltic states.

There might be 3 good tips on it too, frank. If you're following callit's tip on Atletico Madrid, I suggest you do it each way.
Cor als are going 18/1.
