Newcastle win , Shola gets a hat trick

I only need to get off with Girls Aloud for the treble (ok well just Kimberley and maybe the Ginger one for the craic) Coz god knows the price of the first 2 would be massive.

Martins , Bassong, Beye have been sold with Duff just about gone and maybe Stephen Taylor going to Everton. Thats on top of Owen, Viduka leaving on frees and of course the likes of Given, Milner and N'Zogbia leaving during the relegation season. There is no new players being bought so its loan deals and reserves till something is sorted out.

Still a weaker team seemed to play with confidence and a smile on their face and Reading were easily took apart. No online gambling at the moment as i like to see how the footy pans out in August. QPR would have let me down surely last week and if im honest i would have probably had Aston Villa on the coupon today. I might have had a couple of first goal scorers though as i normally follow my fantasy football team and a good start with Shawcross and Drogba netting.
But someone once warned me to stay off footy betting in August and May (too many still in beach mode on the former and too many with sod all to play for in the latter)

I've hardly played any poker lately as either been out, been working weird hours or just not fancied it. Im prob going to play a couple on Sunday evening so no doubt a post soon about some badbeat after 6 hours that meant i won 3 quid instead 3 million. Well you never know.

In fact the only poker ive played recently has been live. Well half a game anyways as was totally hammered which aint big and aint clever kids. The dieting been going a bit slow and too much like a rollercoaster and i aint got the time or willpower to do it alone so decide to return to WeightWatchers. Because i want to do it properly i work out what points im allowed.
(so many a day - upto you whether you have 1 pizza or 60 apples etc but they say vary it and keep it reasonably healthy and the junk is a treat not a daily necessity)

Anyways because im going to have a decent drink at the pub poker i decide not to eat anything during the day. In hindsight not the smartest thing ever. Anyways im on the felt, the vodkas and cokes are flowing. I get dealt AA early - make quads but no one falls for the trap , although to be fair its hard for anyone else to get a hand on a board that reads A A K 7 4 as ive got the two bullets and apparantly we played without the King of diamonds for the first couple of levels !!!

Anyways never mind. i rebuy 10 mins later when JJ busted by AQ. I then get a little card rush in the next level and have JJ and QQ and both hold up. Also show a nice bluff with 52 to try and change table image or maybe it was the drink kicking in. There is a break and a chance to add on. I do that then hit the wine. Big mistake. Healthy chance of cashing becomes instant tournament over. Got too pissed so need to stick to pop next time if im still welcome to play. Maybe i should wrap it anyways and play my poker online.

Friday night was a duly quiet one with the hangover from hell. Saturday i worked and then went out for the match. Even stuck to orange and tonic water so i wasnt pissed. Shola did really score a hattrick !!!!

To wrap up for the night a warning to any facebookers out there. The story is available here
