Nice price. No replays so decided tonight. Could be an entertaining evening.

How is calling a female reporter a good girl offensive? Am I missing something?

Luton 13/1 to beat Man City in the cup tonight, is surely great value? They usually put up a good game vs the top sides, and City will have their 1.5th side out.
Keep wondering if Liverpools price is right? Surely they will field a much weakened team?

They haven't come up on my rader for a 2up value bet on BET 365 at any point this week. So its marginal if they are value.

It's not offensive. It's patronising and thereby sexist.
If I had called any of my female colleagues a "good girl" as a conclusion to a conversation they would have flipped.
His defence is she has seemingly not taken any offence. Go figure!

Worst possible start for Luton! Why not say best possible start for City?

Just seen the most staggering justification for VAR. Blackburn v Newcastle 0-1 and Schar for Newcastle attempts to block a through ball over his head at arms length, he barely connects but definitely does. It would be yellow maybe red under VAR.

I'm a bit baffled why the Toon have gone to ET. They don't need the extra physical stress. But hey Eddie makes a good living from this stuff so what do I know?

As a counter one of my bosses often said "Good lad" when I did a good job. And I felt good not offended. Funny old world innit?
