Lukey the Czech
October 27 - 2006
Last week, a miscalculation of Lukey the Czech’s profit set off a firestorm of emails, phone calls, and text-messages…from Lukey the Czech. We’re not ones to stand in the way of a Bavarian and his Koruny, so we now bring you the revised numbers: Lukey is ahead $112.78 (based on $5 and $10 mythical wagers).
Let’s see if he really is back to his winning ways, after the jump.
This might sound funny, but I feel like I’m starting to hit my groove. Last week I picked 6 of the 10 and the prior week I picked 5 (4 was a mistake by the sackless fearless leader of this site). And although that’s barely batting .500, anything over that will suffice in leading to a profit.
While playing in the ocean off the coast of Maui this past week, I realized a few things: 1) Liverpool SUCK, they are decent at home and shit on the road, and overall they are shite. 2) Reading work their asses off and I like the coach. Though they may be short on talent - they will stay up. 3) Alan Pardew is potentially the worst manager in the EPL.
Having said all that, I have no choice but to go out on a limb and jump on Watford as my lock of the week. Yes, Watford. Let’s face it, Tottenham have A LOT of talent but they’re one of these teams I can’t seem to get my brain around. I mean, they have a new lineup every week, Martin Jol is a bumbling, excuse making ass, and Jermaine Defoe doesn’t play on a regular basis (is it because he’s a biter?). I just don’t get it, and I’m not sure if the players get it either. Don’t get me wrong, Watford is nothing special and will be lucky to stay up, but they’re at home this weekend and hungry after coming off a win against Hull City in the Carling Cup. Plus, they have to win a game sooner or later and I’m thinking it’s a good weekend against an unpredictable opponent. Of course, they could also get their asses handed to them…but fuck it…Watford 2 - Jolskis 1.
