Nothing serious in that thread, just a little chat over the break.

Aussie's Soccer, A-League, Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar.
I was wondering about the real probabilities on Over 3.5 here and... 8:1 in the end, WOW!

Don't you think Luton Town FC is one of the last resorts of the pure idealistic idea of the game of Soccer outside of the petrodollars flooding the game?
I enjoyed watching the quality of Luton (David) pure soccer battles against a much bigger corporate-backed Goliath super force like Arsenal, Aston Villa, Everton, Tottenham Hotspurs, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle, Man Utd etc.
It's Luton vs Chelsea at the moment.
I remembered Volos vs the Big Four in Greece in recent years….

Liverpool vs N'castle right now,
I think that Martin Dúbravka behaves like Harry Houdini, with extremely many goals saved so far, at least 10.

The most experienced player you've ever spotted at your market event?
Thanks to the Asian minotaurs we can access fantastic events across the Globe.
January 2023 was Tom Brady's last game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, NFL, at the age of 45. Fernando Alonso is still driving in F1 at the age of 42.
The most experienced contemporary player across the world I spotted is a player and also an assistant coach Ivaylo Stefanov, CSKA Sofia Volleyball, 50 years old.
Look at his shortened Stats for Autumn 2023. The cells in yellow help us understand what his role was on the pitch and what phases of the game he entered. A great statistic and reflex for a 50-year-old player who specialized in receiving balls fired at over 100km/h.

Martin Dúbravka's star rose again against Man City today. According to the Statistics, he prevented a total of 8 goals against City, against Liverpool 11 goals, against Tottenham Hotspurs 8 goals...
I remembered Arsène Wenger, his brilliant mind was not dependent on petrodollars and he built his quality teams based on meritocracy on the pitch - he selected his players based on the true sporting value of the players, based on their true soccer skills, not the players that contemporary team owners - petrol sheikhs wanted to buy to satisfy their egos.
I'm pretty sure if Martin Dúbravka had played in the era of Arsène Wenger, Anghel Iordănescu, Bora Milutinović or Otto Rehhagel, he wouldn't have been a substitute but a main player...

Will we see Sven-Göran Eriksson as a Liverpool manager against the Ajax Legends on March 23rd?

Girona vs Sevilla at the moment,
We witnessed a rare event in Statistics, four goals were scored in the interval from the 10th to the 20th minute, taking in mind the leading published pre-match probabilities for "Under 3 goals" and "AH (-0.5)". WOW!
Let's see what happens next in this match...

Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos currently in O.A.K.A. ,
The match is technically pretty OK, but those endless back-to-back missed shots by both teams midway through the second quarter reduced the enjoyment of watching that Game.

That's so weird, EuroLeague, Olympiacos vs Alba Berlin, only one point was scored in the initial 2 minutes...

Many Euroleague teams are tired since summer already.

Everton vs Hotspurs now,
The corner market is so untouched by the real thing happening right now on the pitch...

Luton Town F.C. deserves to avoid relegation. I lost my market position on N'castle vs. Luton (4:4) but I was excited to watch this amazing battle and learn plenty of new market lessons today which should be incorporated into the next Model tune-ups.

The McArthur vs Wanderers clash in the Aussie A-League has just finished. What a show, 4:3 in the end!
A second youth for Valere Germain (three goals today), I remember him in Monaco's attacking lineup with Martial and Berbatov years ago.

OFI vs Panserraikos in the SL1 right now,

From what I've seen so far on Cosmote, the Black team is irresistible.
3:0 within 30 minutes considering the pre-match offered by the agencies AH (-0.25) & O/U (2.25).

What a show!
