Anyone else concerned that Five appear to have stopped showing Serie A highlights on a Saturday and are now devoting only 15 minutes of studio time prior to each live match?

I'm sure this has happened before...

maybe it's got something to do with last weeks games being on a Saturday... i hope  

I was just going to put a bet on Napoli to beat Siena tomorrow, using my on-line account at extrabet. But for some reason, extrabet are not offering odds on this match at all - nor are they offering odds on the Palermo game.

A bit suspicious?

Some places don't offer odds on Serie A games at the end of the season when its 2 teams that have nothing to play for as they nearly always end in a draw.  You'll also see some very short odds for a draw.

Aye, Liam's right. Standard practice because of the high suspicion of match-fixing when both teams have nowt to play for.

Bit inane this one, but does anyone know who the actor is in the current Citroen C5 advert (the one where it says "unmistakably German" at the end)?

He looks well familiar, and it's bugging the shite out of me as I can't find who he is on the international network (or 'internet', as it's commonly known)...

Very suspicious - both Napoli's and Palermo's home games end 0-0 and they were the two extrabet weren't taking bets on.

Unluckily for me, I found a BetFred in Cov who were happy to rob me of a few bob.

Not looked at table for a while, but I thought Napoli were still chasing a UEFA spot, and Siena were in a relegation battle?

Anyone know anything about http://www.premiershiplive.net/?

Yeah, it's a bit of a scam. They provide you with links for live games but you can get that elsewhere for free. ie. http://www3.myp2p.eu/

Basically you download a couple of programmes, they each have a couple of hundred channels., and you have to tune in at the right time. Make sure you have decent virus protection though! With it being P2P all sorts of crap gets thrown around, and was the death of my last laptop

Edit: Oh and regarding those draws, Parma-Napoli last week was apparently "scheduled" to be 2-2. Things went a bit wrong though, and that's why tempers flared. If true, then apparently no money was exchanged but it would have been a result which favoured both sides (Parma being desperate for points, Napoli crap away from home, etc). There were certainly a few dodgy decisions.

And I've just finished my dissertation, yay.

So how come they took bets on Juve matches for so long?

Have I missed something, or are ITV exempt from copyright infringement / plaguerism laws when it comes to 'drama'?

My missus has just tried to make me sit through the second part of a typical ITV train wreck called 'Flood' which, to me, is very reminiscent of The Day After Tomorrow / 28 Weeks Later.

There's some other bollocksy looking shower of shite on ITV next week with James Nesbitt that looks an awful lot like another recent cinematic pile of pish (I'll come back to you with a name as soon as I see the ad again).

Thank f**k I ain't paying a license fee for this, eh?

Does anyone else wonder why there are four ITV channels when they don't really have enough programming for one?

Because they make a mint.
