Weekend Betting Tips

Vannes v Dijon

Vannes lie outside the relegation places on goal difference and realistically need a win to keep their survival hopes alive. They have a tricky game next weekend, so will be hoping to get a good result here tonight. They have put in good performances in their last two games to boost their hopes of remaining in the division, but need another one tonight.

Dijon are mathematically not safe, but to all extents and purposes, they will be. They are missing one of their first-choice central defenders, as well as their keeper, and their backup keeper is somewhat suspect. Whilst their away record isn’t too bad, they have lost the last two games and have little to play for this season.

Vannes need the points more than their opponents, and have found a little bit of form recently. It won’t be easy, which is why I am taking a little bit of cover for the draw.

Bet: Vannes -0.25AH @ 1.7

Final Result: Vannes 1 - 0 Dijon

Strasbourg v Nîmes

After a poor run of form, Strasbourg find themselves only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. Their problem has been away from home, where they haven’t won, but they have been fairly solid at home this year. They don’t have any major injury concerns ahead of this game.

Nîmes looked like they may challenge for promotion until a run of only 2 wins in 12 games. They have drawn 4 of their last 5 away game 0-0, but they know that they need to attack more if they are to have any chance of grabbing a promotion spot.

With the other relegation contenders facing tricky games, Strasbourg will know that they have a chance to secure their spot in the division against a team that has gone off the boil in the past month or so.

Bet: Strasbourg -0.5AH @ 1.82

Final Result: Strasbourg 1 - 1 Nîmes

Roda v Willem II

Roda have been in excellent form at home recently, winning 6 of their last 7 games, scoring at least 2 goals in each of those matches. They need a win to give themselves any hope of securing a place in the European playoffs and will be going all out for a big win.

Willem II have been nothing short of terrible away from home this season, with 15 defeats from 16 games. They have already qualified for the relegation playoff, so have nothing to play for in this game and will not want any injuries or cards ahead of that playoff.

Roda should win this game comfortably given their need of the three points. They should come out of the blocks quickly to try and secure the win early on.

Bet: Roda -1.5AH @ 1.65
Bet: Roda HT/FT @ 1.66


NEC v Ajax

With only 1 win in their last 10 games and no home win in 4, NEC lie in mid-table with absolutely nothing to play for whatsoever in this game, except for pride.

On the other hand, Ajax have made a dramatic late charge for the title with 13 straight league victories, scoring 46 and only conceding 2 goals in that period. They have to win and hope that Twente slip up against NAC Breda. Ajax have the easier game and will look to grab an early lead to put the pressure on Twente.

It would be a huge shock were Ajax not to win this and they will look to make a lightning quick start to put the pressure on the less experienced Twente side.

Bet: Ajax HT/FT @ 1.5

Grimsby v Barnet

Following Barnet’s defeat at Accrington, this match has become huge with respect to the relegation battle in League 2. Grimsby have nothing to lose in this game, since they know that only a win will be enough. They lie 4 points behind Barnet with 2 games left of the season and they have strung together 3 wins in their last 5 games.

Barnet have lost 5 on the bounce to drop perilously close to the drop. They have the worst away record in the division and goals have been difficult to find recently, with main striker, Paul Furlong, showing his age.

Grimsby have to win to keep any hopes of survival alive and they should be able to manage this against an out-of-form Barnet side.

Bet: Grimsby to win @ 2.0

Final Result: Grimsby 2 - 0 Barnet

MK Dons v Brighton

The MK Dons have collapsed in the second half of the season and are without a win in 9 games. They will be without 12 first team regulars through injury and suspension, having had 3 men sent off last weekend. They are set to give starts to 3 teenagers, including a striker who has been recalled from his loan spell at Forest Green.

Brighton are finishing well with 5 wins in their last 9 games and have only lost 2 of their last 13 games away from home. They play with a lot of pace and would be higher up the table if they had a more clinical striker to take the chances they create.

MK Dons cannot wait for this season to end, whist Brighton are finishing strongly, despite having nothing to play for.

Bet: Brighton -0.25AH @ 1.82

Final Result: MK Dons 0 - 0 Brighton

Blackpool v Bristol City

Blackpool squeezed into the final playoff place last weekend following a victory at already relegated Peterborough. They have won 6 of their last 7 games, only losing to champions Newcastle during that period. They are also unbeaten in 7 games at home. They know their fate is in their own hands, but must make sure of the win, otherwise Swansea could nip in and cost them a chance at the Premiership.

Bristol City are in good form with 5 wins in their last 7 games, although they have only won 3 of their previous 13 away from home. They have only lost 1 of their last 10 against Blackpool and considering Bristol City’s hatred of Blackpool manager Ian Holloway, they would love to lost them a playoff place.

Blackpool need to win this and hopefully the added motivation should give them the desire to go ahead and grab the 3 points.

Bet: Blackpool to win @ 1.5

Foto set of square watermelons

A company in Panama is hoping to join in a small niche market of the fruit export business: square watermelons. The Panama Fruit Producer company has started "rounding up" the square fruit, sending its first shipment of 120 boxy melons to New York.



The first square watermelons are thought to have been produced by a Japanese farmer and have been sold in some markets in Japan for years. Diaz said the only square watermelon production in the Americas he knows about is in Brazil and California in the U.S.

100% Sub Boy Live to Serve or Cease to Live

Boy always gives my 100% to my Sir and treat each training as my last. Because a good slave / little bro is not worth living if I can't satisfy Sir / Big bro's every dark twisted desire. Boy Always thinks of Sir / Big bro's needs before my own, his orgasm is my orgasm! boy never needs to cum to feel satisfied! helping Sir / Big Bro cum will be boy's job and give up my body and mind 100% to Sir / Big bro's use & abuse will be boy's duty. Nothing is more important than helping Sir / Big bro's cock get rock hard and shoot a good load, even if boy expired due extreme training & punishment, boy knows I serve Sir well and it's all worth it to help Sir / Big bro to cum harder!

Looking forward to hear from you Sir / Big Bro !

I am cocky, arrogant and a leader; people in the real world would never suspect that part of (the real part) that I am about describe. I need to serve and when I say that I mean 24/7 for real. Not some faggy cyber or phone thing. I need someone who can take me, break me, and re-create from scratch. I will be a challenge in the beginning... after all I have had a very fake persona up for years as a leader. That's the general foundation of me. As for you, I don't care if you sound faggy or if your straight, what I care about is that you know your a leader, you can handle a challenge and you can break a persons spirit. You need to be under 30 and while you don't have to look as good as me, don't be a fatty or disgusting looking. I hope this gives you a peek as to me and what I need.

First off I'm straight.
What I'm really looking for is for other guys to trample and crush me. Sit on me, lay on me, stomp me, jump on me, drop anvils on me.

But sorry absolutely no sex and no penis. I know I'm probably on the wrong kinda site but most girls aren't into this and I love the extra weight of guys.

I have been somewhat aroused by lets say brad pit in troy running around in that mini skirt or those guys from 300 but I think I was more attracted to the weight of them on the account of my fetish. (I don't judge but a little warning that the attached picture is of fisting would be much appreciated)

p.s. Hey. On May 15th, my blog turns five years old. I decided to mark the occasion a while back, but I wasn't sure how. Then I thought about how the only positive aspects of birthdays are getting people together for some related shebang and receiving gifts. So, here's how I want all of you distinguished locals, occasional comments, silent readers, and lurkers to celebrate the blog's birthday. Gifts. I want each of you to give the blog a birthday present. Not a store bought present, not something that requires you to spend any money. I mean a gift you found or made. I should add that the gifts are not for the blog precisely, they're for everyone. They're more like party favors, if you will. Basically, this birthday event will work like the Self-Portrait Days that we hold here occasionally, except in this case there's no theme or pressure or pretense. Anything goes. Send me a gift that can be housed/ posted/ loaded onto the blog. Your gift can address the blog in some way, if you want, or it can just be something fun, entertaining, weird, random, or whatever. Your gift can be a text, image, video, artwork, link, mp3 (if as you have some place to store the music file), or a any combination or those things, or anything else you can think of. Understand? Now, this should be a pretty easy task, even relative to the SPDs, so I really hope everyone out there, whether you comment here or visit quietly, will get in the spirit and send a present. I mean it's the blog's birthday, for fuck's sake. Give it a gift. Be a sport. No gift is too teeny weeny. Send your gift to the usual address: dcooperweb@ gmail.com. The deadline for sending in your gift is your bedtime in your time zone on next Thursday, May 6th. If you have questions, just ask. Thanks. ** Misanthrope, Or that witty Jesse Starr. Or Dakota Shine or Roxy Red or Miles Pride except they don't evince senses of humor. Shit, sorry you have to send that threatening letter, but money's money and tight and $4200 is a pretty good whopper. ** _Black_Acrylic, You're charming when you're drunk. I must admit to a fondness for karaoke. If the tech would allow, I'd do a karaoke SPD. The event sounds like a blast, in other words. ** 'Stoopid Slapped Puppies', Well, back in the queer punk/zine days, you could be straight and queer at the same time, and that was the best definition of the term if you ask me, so maybe you'll still be in like flynn or whatever. I have a theory about SK, but it's not developed enough to share quite yet. ** David Ehrenstein, Is 'His Kind of Woman' that film where Robert Mitchum rims Vincent Price? If so, I'll not only urge Christophe in that project's direction and towards your casting suggestion, I'll take a salary cut. ** Empty Frame, Which Greek isle? I vote for Santorini. ** Magick Mike, When I mention Quignard to people here, the first thing they almost always say is 'he's an editor at Gallimard', which apparently he is. Dude, 'narrative architecture day' sounds even better than it did before the word narrative slid in there, and my lips are now a leaky spigot. There's no set release date on the expanded/ paperback 'Weaklings' yet, as far as I know. It got delayed, I think due to money issues. It would be great if it comes out this year. That's basically what I'm hoping. I ordered 'Coma' yesterday, and I'm losing it with anticipation over here, and, yeah, a new Duvert, wow. Crazy exciting. Semiotext(e) is on fire. ** Tonyoneill, Hey, Tony. Wait, doesn't your novel come out any day now? I still didn't get my copy in the mail yet. I think I might have to bug Michael for a resend. I'm super excited about 'Trash Humpers'. Are people not liking it much or something? I got a vibe of that from the phrasing of your sentences. All the incredibly best to you, man. ** Bernard Welt, I was thinking David E. was just thinking that you and Burr both like -- or liked in his case, although I guess it depends on how heaven turns out -- to have 12 year-old boys piss in your mouth. I did tell you I was shown a photo of that very thing happening years and years ago, right? I mean that happening to Burr. ** Alec Niedenthal, Howdy, Alec! Justin and Amy, very nice. Hug them for me. You bet I wish I could make it a foursome. And, yeah, Eileen Myles is an old pal, comrade, and favorite writer of mine. Tell her I say hi, I miss her, and more. Awesome that your story's up and about at Night Train. You bet I'll read it asap. Hopefully later on today. Everyone, Alec Niedenthal, severely good writer, HTMLGIANT honcho, and d.l., has a new short fiction piece loaded up at the fine lit. site Night Train, and, obviously, I am hereby urging you to go read it, preferably right now. The slaves won't mind. Slaves are cool that way. I hope the visit with your ex- goes well, man. It could even be progressive in some way or other, you know. Great to see you, A., and thanks for the fiction share. ** Bill, Hey. Well, it sounds like I'll get to see you one way or another. If it's pre-Avignon, all the better. Just let me know once your schedule firms. I'm easy and around here when I'm not in Brest until July. Ha ha, lovely Maupassant squib there about Powell and Swinburne. ** Alan, Hi, man. Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that the Melville House blog ran that item at this point. The 'Rimbaud' photo was debunked a few weeks ago. It was 'all over' the news here. The guy who 'discovered' the photo turns out to be this French guy who's been responsible for a small bunch of other literary hoaxes. It's too bad. A new Rimbaud pic would have really been something, needless to say, but it wasn't a bad hoax. ** Christopher/Mark, Hi, Mark! ** Trees, I was just looking a photo of you dancing in some dark club-looking locale not fifteen minutes ago and trying to figure out what piece of music had driven you to distraction. Thanks for the link to your XLR8R writings. I'll devour it and share it too. Everyone, mighty writer Thomas Rees aka the invaluable d.l. Trees delegates some of his writing ability to penning articles for the mag XLR8R, and go here to find out how things of interest sit with him, won't you? Oh shit, Jamie Stewart and Vaginal Davis? That's a two-pronged explosion of total genius right there. Damn, I hope it ends up on Youtube. Gisele and I were going to ask JS to sing a thing for our new theater piece, but then we got sidetracked. Yeah, I do think I know where you're coming from re: the situation with Se4n quite well, and, if the accumulation of years has the wise effect people say, I do think it's going to be far more than fine. Great that you're going to go for the PANK possibility. Well, isn't KK the editor of that anthology? I'd guess a yes is a yes, but they don't call caution a byword for no reason, it's true. Yeah, things are okay novel-wise at this very moment. Thanks, T. ** Sypha, Honestly, I'm just as in the dark about the whole Subterranean Kid thing as you are. Lewis, ugh upon ugh. Oh, cool that RS got in touch. Fingers amazingly crossed, and keep us informed of what's happening, yeah? ** JW Veldhoen, I bet Ton thinks you're the real JW Veldhoen too. Me, I'm not so sure, ha ha. ** Pisycaca, Hi, pal. You probably don't need it, but if I can of any help re: figuring out lodging stuff for Avignon, let me know. If you can get a place in the old, walled city center, that's basically the ideal, although surrounding hotels can be fine, just the closer to the old city center the better. ** Wolf, Well, yeah. It's a fucking nightmare. ** Jeff, Ha ha, awesome. I hadn't seen that clip before. Everyone, if you haven't seen 'Werner Herzog reads Where's Waldo', I think you want to, right? All credit for this tip/discovery goes to our friend Jeff. ** Steven Vineis, Hey, Steven! Terrific to 'lay eyes' on you. You've been missed around here, you bet. Totally ace news about the completion of your poetry and short fiction collections! Man, don't get too down on publishing possibilities until you try. With the huge swell of new presses and writers going on in the USA right now, there's never been a better time to approach the reading public new and ultra-talented like you are, man. How do I get to your blog again? Maybe it's just my server acting weird, but when I clicked your blue name, I got 'bad request'. Can you give a link? I want to be among those who stumble upon the new goods. Glad you're back for however long, Steven. ** Stan_cz, Good news about your play going well. I think I remember you saying that looking into having the play produced/staged wasn't that interesting to you. Is that still the case, if I'm remembering correctly? I, of course, dig the idea of it being staged, for selfish reasons possibly. ** David, Hershel Gordon Lewis is a gas when you're in a certain mood. I go for 'Black Sea' as XTC's studio masterpiece with 'Drums & Wires' running second. My complete pleasure on the blog alert, of course. ** Creative Massacre, Awesome that you flew past all your trials and tests. What now? Ha ha, delicious looking ass cake. I consider myself quite a connoisseur of both asses and cakes, mind you. Does the orangey color tell me something about the taste? ** Justin, I'm no Subterranean Kid. The fact that I'm both a writer and a Russian porn star is pure coincidence. Oh, that sewing machine showed its age or something? That sucks. Don't let it hold you back, man. ** Inthemostpeculiarway, 'River of No Return' ... I can't remember if I saw it. I feel like I did. Hm. Joan Rivers is still on TV? I'm really out of it. Needless to say, she's not exactly known over here, although, if the French public were given a chance, I could imagine her getting a Jerry Lewis style welcome. Man, I hope you feel less pissed off and lonely today. That is not a good combination. My day: Well, I did get interviewed for Butt Magazine. The inquisitor was my old friend, comrade, and hero Steve Lafreniere, so it was a lot of fun. It didn't get very titillating or raunchy, I don't think. A few little Butt-like verbal thingeroonys here and there. I'll let you know when it becomes public. It's for the print magazine, but apparently there's some question as to whether the print magazine is going to continue or not, and, if not, it'll be online, I guess. Other than the interview, yesterday was pretty blaze. Did the novel work number as always. Walked around Paris semi-aimlessly for a while since the weather was perfecto. I almost bought a new video game for my DS, but I stopped myself, thank God. That's the last wonderful, distracting thing I need right now. One reason yesterday was kind of blah is because I started getting a headache at one point, and it grew into a slightly hampering thing then didn't go away until I slept. So I don't remember what I did so much as I remember feeling ugh while I did whatever I did. Okay, not a great day. I'll try again today starting as soon as I can. How's your Friday holding up? ** I'm off now to a recording session re: some vocal stuff for our theater piece, so I'd better shower myself and all that. You have slaves to tide you over until tomorrow. Please start sorting out your birthday gifts. And I think that is all. See you on May Day.
