I'm doing alright on it at the minute but its always good to get some others views from people who have knowledge on it. Cheers mate

Hi KIKO

No- we don't have anyone prepared to cover it yet. I watch a bit of it - and although the United States national side is improving I must say that this league is probably one of the least inspiring to watch.

All players are athletic (without being super quick), skilled (without being able to beat a players) and disciplined. The teams are over coached into a pattern and the harsh heat often reduces games to a slow-slow pace.


I've found that the low scoring draw is a big threat to my picks in this league - so the MLS doesn't appeal to me right now. I've actually turned a few games off - and that's pretty rare that I turn off footie ...


Still if you're winning then you're doing something right mate ... I'll be keen to see your tips.

Shite sorry chaps. Never got a chance to get in here. Look at that scandleous first post of mine. No vbookie up either. Trust you all to get busy on it.

If your still winning at it this time next year Kiko i'll pop by your thread Sorry ok i'm off. Gonna redem myself by having a Champions League Extravaganza tomorrow night.

Didnt you used to be into the Aussie State Leagues yourself Gooner? Arent you staying out that neck of the woods? If you are you should really think about going to bed Gooner. Its awfully late.

Not the biggest price in the world but a wins a win.

Done me homework on Valerenga and I knew liverpool would be too strong for a team 15 points behind Ekranes (cork city won 2-0 IN Ekranes last week).

Hi KOMP

1) Yes I'm lounging about in the South Pacific these days - but New Zealand not Australia. I'll be back for the 2006 World Cup.

2) It's 11 hours ahead here - so it's actually early (about 10am Wednesday)

3) No - I was never into betting in the Aussie state leagues. Look mate it's not even semi-pro most of it. If I could ever get my local pub team ( http://www.thearmsfc.com ) to train I'd fancy us to get a couple of results in there ...

I'll be back for the 2006 World Cup.

And this is my main theme

Welcome Gooner! Enjoy the TDP!

Nice set of picks Gooner, especially the Thun AH one. I must check your site more often!

When Kiev popped up with the opener so early I thought my AH bet was on its way to being landed.

Sounds like a good game with Thun goalie having a great game. Decent match report at UEFA.com

And nice double PTDSEI. Valerenga was tighter than I expected though, the 1-0 win didn't help my AH bet.
