Club Boosts Half In Lille

Soccer Betting Lines

However, the capital club failed to impress in a match that sees Lille extend its unbeaten streak to 16 games but remain two points back of the home side.

 

PSG's Kevin Gameiro had a good chance in the first half to put his team in front when he was played free by Javier Pastore, only to fire wide of the net.

 

Mathieu Debuchy's header required a sharp save from PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu to keep it out, while Sirigu was needed to make another decent stop on Ireneusz Jelen to keep the match level.

 

Bordeaux, France - Bordeaux's good form at home continued on Sunday as the club secured a 1-0 win over Sochaux at the Stade Chaban Dalmas.

 

Sochaux has now earned one of a possible 15 points from its last five matches and sits one point above the drop zone.

 

The visitors created the better chances over the course of 90 minutes but were punished in the 83rd minute when Johan Cavalli's cross was converted by Diawara, handing Rennes a defeat that keeps the club in seventh place.

 

Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Celtic is facing charges from UEFA for the second time in two months as the club is being charged with two offenses related to the Europa League match against Udinese in Italy. UEFA has confirmed that Celtic is being charged with "the displaying of a banner of an offensive nature and the setting off of fireworks by supporters."

 

Celtic had just recently been fined nearly $20,000 for "illicit chanting" involving pro-IRA songs during a Europa League match against Rennes at home when the club's fans held up a banner that insulted UEFA at the Udinese match.

 

A number of flares were also set off by Celtic fans, including one that was thrown onto the track surrounding the field.

 

Blackburn, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Blackburn saw its injury woes continue on Monday as it was revealed that defender Scott Dann will be out until February after he ruptured a testicle. The former Birmingham man scored a goal in Rovers 2-1 defeat to West Bromwich on Saturday, but he will miss the next six weeks with the injury, leaving manager Steve Kean short on options in defense.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
