    Anywhere from 320-400 depending on where you are.

    A dude in work bought one, a week old, unlocked, for €350.

    On Amazon new they are about 480 inc VAT. Used they are about 340 inc VAT.

    Not sure if any of ye spend much time in the Football Betting Forum but I think I'll share another one of my failed bets here too.

    Sevilla drawing at the weekend cost me close to 2k. That was bad, i did get over it though.

    Made this bet this week then to try hit back.

    I don't think i'll be sleeping much tonight.

    I know Porto have a big lead but they have already won the League and have a very good team, whereas Spartak have been very poor this season.

    Braga have also been very good at home all season and have beaten Celtic, Liverpool and Arsenal already. Kiev are also missing Sheva because of the red he got in the last leg.


    I didn't get to watch the Braga game but was looking at updates on the phone all night. I'm not a happy camper right now, gonna drink myself unfer the table this weekend i think. :(

    I will be back though.

    I am so tempted to post the video over on the Meat Loaf forum where the big man himself posts but if you have seen him attack people on that, you think twice about doing it.

    He would be perma-banned from boards with the carry on he does be at!

    Shields is 7/2 to beat GSP at UFC 129. Think I might stick a score on Shields myself.

    The Cesar Gracie gym is in tremendous form as of late with Melendez and Diaz retaining their respective titles.

    I'll take the 20 if you want? Better I keep it than the bookies!

    Shields will not take GSP down IMO. And after he gasses out trying GSP will knock him out. Shields has never faced a wrestler like GSP before. People will point at Dan Henderson but Hendo has always been liable to gassing out and has always been liable to getting taken down due to being reckless on the feet. In the Shields fight he punched himself out trying to finish early and then a combination of this and him trying to land that big shot again led to him getting blanketed for the remaining 4 rounds.

    GSP won't gas, won't punch himself out, and has mastered the art landing strikes without opening up the takedown.

    GSP has spent a lot of time over in England training with Roger Gracie (best grappler in the world bar none IMO and Braulio Estima who won the recent ADCC grappling tournament) so even if he were to be taken down, he'll be well prepared for the strongest side of Shields game, his BJJ.

    I really don't see Shields winning this fight.

    It's a very intriguing fight nonetheless but part of me would like GSP to win and maybe move up a weight class because if he beats Shields, there's nobody else for him really in that division and I'd love him to fight Silva.

    I wonder if the "under utilised" (:rolleyes:) jab will play a key role in GSP's offence.

    You're right. If he wins this one there's nobody left for him bar re-matches. Nate Marquardt has just dropped to 170 (which I doubt Martin Kampmaan is too pleased about) but the Jackson allegiance will stand in the way of that.

    LOL yea his "laser beam" jab is what I see as the platform to him winning this fight actually.

    It's strange, unlike the other Cesar Gracie fighters like Gilbert and the Diaz brothers, Shields' stand up is dire.

    I dunno about 185 for GSp. He's the optimal size for WW. He'd be a very small MW. Anderson is HUGE for MW. Hell he's even an average sized LHW!

    The sad thing is that if someone like him with real talent went on to Britains Got Talent or the likes he probably wouldn't even win it.
