March InGame

I understand it's an issue in league standings. that article only points out England /
The top 4 in England for the past 10 years has also been very firm between the big 4. It's very very rare for another team to finish top 4, no?
so would a team rather turn down that Europa league money without a chance to attract better players that play out of England? I don't think so, no.
obviously this is just my opinion. I preferred United to finish 7th last year too so that they could make a charge back to CL in the league.
Spurs, Southampton, even Liverpool don't have the resources available to them that United do though.

in the last 5 years its

Arsenal 5
Man City 4
Man United 4
Chelsea 4
Tottenham 2
Liverpool 1
 
Europa League is not a lot of money, the table in the link shows it

Those are prize money figures. It does not take into account extra gate money for home games. How much extra does 7th place pay?

In the last 10 years, outside of Chelsea, Mancity, United and Arsenal, the number of top 4 appearances:

Everton 1
Liverpool - 5
Spurs -2

everyone else, 0.

I don't see any club turning down a europa league bid because of fear of not qualifying for the top 4 next year. Odds seem pretty significant against it.
 
Some overs with nice juicy prices in Italy today.
Probably will be all unders, but I think all games have a good shot of o2.5 today, except Inter game I avoided.

Also on o0.75 in early Argie game

one goal in the 1st min in Argie, and no more the rest of the half.
One more time, 1h over in the River plate game tho. half a bet.
 
The DC Stadium looks like it's going to be nice, although I still like the Houston stadium the best...

Intl Friendly action today....probably means I'll be betting MLB Exhibition baseball. International games are the fucking worst, friendlies are even worse.

Do see a Norway game going off here - so played o3 in the Tromso match :prayer
