i actually put rl money on Genk to win, and they delivered. But barca let me down! of all the teams haha!

Two losses in a row? Quite surprising, but well... Messi was their X-factor, without him they are just a decent team.

I actually won my Barça bet

Athletic is undefeated home, and they usually perform really well in these kind of matches. I think Barça has only won once there in the last 4-5 years. Given the current form both teams had, I was expecting Barça to drop points.

Betting against my hometown club!

With the service you get from the midfield, even emile heskey should be getting 30 a season! haha.



I never know who is who's hometown club, but also that part of the bet came off, so i bet smart on that front!

What were the odds on that match? curious

i think it was 1/2 for genk to win, had them on an accumulator along with sporting, psg and barca

Ah, would be surprised if it had been better odds

Betis has sacked Pepe Mel, and Juan Carlos Garrido will take over.

Dispite having achieved only 2 out of the last 24 points, having lost the derby against Sevilla by 4-0 and being last placed in La Liga, this is a pretty big surprise. Betis fans love Mel (infact there has been a huge uproar this afternoon, with the ultras trying to barge into the stadium), and the team wasn't paying that bad (they have been very unlucky though... this weekend they played well against Rayo and were winning until they conceded the draw in the 93rd minute).

Betis is regarded in Spain as a fun/nice team, so I wish them the best... but it's a bit dissapointing to see a nice guy like Mel being replaced by Garrido. Let's see what he can do... the squad is good enough for a mid table finish, although that might be a bit too much considering their current situation and the fact they are also playing EL.
