I normally use PaddyPower, very annoying seeing their offers for new customers.
Odds they offer are ridiculous for it.

Shiiiiit, I signed up to Paddy Power and now the deal no longer applies to me haha. Apparently it had to be done on a mobile. So now I'm no longer a new customer either. :<

He didn't have to because the journalists asking the questions did. Mourinho is the only manager who's ruled his team out of the title race among the contenders. Wenger is no fool and knew who they were referring to. He may have done it indirectly but he took a swipe at Mourinho. It's also worth mentioning that Mourinho's comment came off the back of a journo asking "What do you make of Wengers claim that managers who rule themselves out of the title race are scared of failure?" The remark didn't come out of the blue. I also don't see how one harsh comment from Mourinho is an embarrassment for Chelsea. It isn't. Have you even seen/read his quotes? It's not even close to being a 'swipe at Mourinho'. How is that in any way a dig at Mourinho? At the very worst you could say he's merely explaining, as Lineker and co did on MOTD, why he doesn't buy into Mourinho (and others, he mentions no names) saying his team aren't contenders for the title. It doesn't matter if it came out of the blue or not, it was a direct attack on Wenger from an utterly classless attention seeker that our spineless media lap up rather than challenge him on like their Spanish and Italian counterparts did. All this pining for wanting to be back 'somewhere he was loved'? Nah, what he means is somewhere his bullshit is tolerated. The supposed master of mind games got shown up at his own game. And you don't see how your manager launching a personal attack on a rivals manager, unprovoked, isn't embarassing?

Well that isn't what was shown on SSN. They showed Wenger saying that those ruling themselves out of the title race are scared of failure. He said this knowing Mourinho had recently said Chelsea are not in the title race. So he starts his own kind of 'mind game' if you will. He didn't name Mourinho personally. That way if there is some sort of war of words (which there was) he can say "I didn't name Mourinho". Even though it's obvious he was referring to him. It's worked for him because Mourinho has come out looking like a villain whereas Wenger is a squeaky clean gentleman. Is that tin foil hat you're wearing comfortable? Fucking hell, he answered a question (somewhat diplomatically), mentioned no names, merely gave his opinion generally about people ruling themselves out (again, several others have done so specifically about Mourinho, think Chamberlain asked Neville/Carragher about it, Lineker on MOTD discussed it, both said Mourinho was just trying to play down expectations) and Mourinho launched a personal attack. Mourinho IS the pantomine villain and he fucking loves it, it's why he was so desperate to come back over here.

Doubt it will be a goal-fest as most people are suggesting however I still feel Barcelona will win this. 0-2 I reckon.

I'm going with City. I reckon they'll both score, but City will outscore them and I fancy Hart will have a big game. Said since the draw City would beat them and I stick by it.
