TALE OF THE TAPE - MIDDLESBROUGH v STOKE CITY 29-8-08
Toby Higgins
You know when you have just had 'one of them days'? Or is it meant
to be 'one of those days'? This kind of day has included that kind of argument.
What we could just do with, right now, is eleven head-to-head battles to calm the
passion.
Seconds out, Round 3...
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
Ross Turnbull v Thomas Sorensen
Ross Turnbull looks absolutely gormless, most of the time. The kind of bloke who,
you could tell the funniest joke in the World to, and he'd just
sort of grin and nod.
Thomas Sorensen is famous for not being able to get out of 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Peter
Schmeichel's massive shadow in the Danish national side. He
is also a Mackem reject. Enough said.
Turnbull 7 - Sorensen 6
Justin Hoyte v Andy Griffin
Justin Hoyte is set to make his league debut now, despite making his debut in a back
four that let Yeovil score past them.
Andy Griffin started his career at Stoke twelve years ago and looks like he has been squashed a bit - you know what I mean - if he was a girl
people would call him 'dumpy' so
as not to hurt his feelings by calling him a fat fucking short arse.
Griffin is a Geordie reject.
Hoyfullpuff 8 - Griffindor 5
Andrew Taylor v Carl Dickinson
Who the fucking hell is Carl Dickinson? No, seriously? Who is he?
David's son?
Taylor 9 - Dicko 4
Emmanuel Pogatetz v Leon Cort
I've always thought Pogatetz would have been even more
loved by the Boro fans if he'd called himself Smogatetz. See, this is the
reason I should be allowed to get involved in the club's PR
and transfer departments.
Leon Cort is the name of the new Seat model.
Smogatetz 8 - Seat Leon Cort 5
David Wheater v Ryan Shawcross
Wheater is, finally, back in at centre half, after Robert Huth provided little in
terms of poor joke material during rounds one and two.
Shawcross is probably Stoke's most famous and recognised
player, for having once been an unused sub in Man United's
reserve team Cup semi-final.
Dave Wheater 9 - Shawcross 6
Jeremie Aliadiere v Seyi Olofinjana
A commentator's nightmare. Imagine trying to say 'Seyi Olofinjana skips past Jeremie Aliadiere' after a few pints. Actually,
it's not that difficult - the hardest
part is trying to imagine anyone skipping past Aliadiere, let alone this
mug.
Alaiedierrre 9 - Olfianiaja 5
Stewart Downing v Rory Delap
Stewy D is once again the target for a host of big clubs, such as Amnesia, Pacha and
Eden, should he out grow the pond at the Purple Onion.
Rory is the name of Boro's mascot, and Delap is German for 'The Lap'. Delap is a Mackem reject.
Stewy Downing 10 - Rory The Lap 6
Didier Digard v Abdoulaye Faye
If people whose names start with Di can have it shorted to
Didi (Such as Diemtar or Dimitar), what do you do if your name starts with Didi?
Didi-didi? And then what do you do if your surname starts with Di? Didi-didi Didi?
Anyway, the Frenchman keeps his place after he opened his Boro account against
Yeovil, albeit because their keeper had consumed one Scrumpy Jack too many on the
coach to Teesside.
I would love to be called Abdoulaye, just for a day. Still,
he's a Geordie reject too.
All the Didi's 8 - Faye 6
Gary O'Neil v Amdy Faye
Gary O'Neil is worth a place in the team for only two
reasons. Too much ankle tape (this is, afterall, tale of the tape), and the fact he is due to start repaying our faith in him by grabbing an overdue
goal any game now.
Anyone called Amdy is that kind of special, you know what I mean? Yeah, you know what I
mean.
Stoke sing a song to the tune of Happy Days about this pair of
Fayes being yours and mine. But given they are both
Senegalese, both called Faye, and both are ex-Newcastle, you can help but wonder if
they're the same person, but with two passports.
O'Neil 6 - Amdy Pamdy
6
Mido v Ricardo Fuller
Lightweight Mido has started the season like a house ablaze, though it's worth pointing out the five goals he has scored for
the Boro have all come in the month August, a word which we have
heard means 'Slim and Scoring' in Egyptian.
Fuller is, and will remain until May, Stoke's joint top
scorer, with 1.
Lightweight Mido 9 v Fuller Rice 5
Tuncay Sanli v Dave Kitson
What, no Alves? You heard.
Tuncay's turn at Liverpool was better than Bergkamp,
according to literally a few people, but while Bergkamp would have caressed the ball
gently into the corner of the net, Tuncay volleyed straight at the keeper when
unchallenged from six yards, preventing us taking an unassailable lead and
ultimately, costing us the game.
Harsh? Probably. But Tunj needs a goal or two to stop The Fonz and The Skinny One
relegating him to the bench.
Relegation is a sensation that former Reading man Kitson will not have to wait too
long to experience again.
Tuncay 8 - Kitson 7
Turns out...
Teesside 91 - Staffordshire 61
This bit has been pretty accurate so far, and this week is fairly straight forward.
Hat-tricks galore, flowing football, a repeat of the 8-1 trouncing of Man City last
season. We are playing so well, and are so watchable, that the
relegation favourites could not possibly pose a threat, like the time we played
Cardi... ah.
Boro 4-0 Stoke, or, Boro 0-1 Stoke

FILES AND TotT INDEX
A GUARANTEED PROFIT OF AT LEAST £45.20 ON SPAIN U21 v GERMANY U21
The European U-21 Championship kicks off on Monday and did you know that it is possible to win money on Monday evening's clash between Spain U21 and Germany U21, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 7.45pm UK Time and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £45.20, whatever the result of the match. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time, you will be at least £45.20 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If
they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
Also, please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using,
you won't be able to do this. If that is the case, mail
us or phone us on 01642 223229 as we have alternative bets written and ready to mail out to you using different bookies.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match and we will collect £134.20 if Spain U21 win, £136.50 if Germany U21 win and £135.00 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Paddy Power.
Open an account with Bet On Bet.
Open an account with  Bet 24.
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £25.00 into your new Paddy Power account.
Deposit £36.00 into your Bet On Bet account.
Deposit £28.00 into your new Bet 24 account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Back the draw with £25.00 at 11/5 with Paddy Power.
Paddy Power will now add a £25.00 bonus to your account. Place this on the draw as well. You will now have £50.00 riding on the draw.
Back Spain U21 with £36.00 at odds of 2.20 (6/5) with Bet On Bet.
Bet On Bet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £61.00 riding on Spain U21.
The £25.00 matched bet will not show in your account but you can read all about how it works on the Bet On Bet site.
Place £28.00 on Germany U21 at odds of 3.25 with Bet 24.
Bet 24 will now add a £14.00 bonus to your account. Place this on Germany U21 as well. You will now have £42.00 riding on Germany U21.
If you are unsure about placing these bets, please feel free to mail us or call us on 01642 223229 and we will talk you through it, no problem at all. There is no such thing as a stupid
question.
You have temporarily laid out a total of £89.00 on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game. All winnings are paid out on the ninety minute result.
If it's a draw, you collect £135.00 from Paddy Power.
If Spain U21 win, you collect £134.20 from Bet On Bet.
If Germany U21 win, you collect £136.50 from Bet 24.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Spain U21 v Germany U21 match is Spain U21 win and you make £45.20 profit. However, if Germany U21 win you make £47.50 profit and if it is a draw you make £46.00 profit. That's a minimum profit of over 50%, a much better rate of interest than you would get at any high street bank or building society.
6. It is absolutely vital that you click on the links on this page to open the accounts with the three bookies or you may not qualify for the
bonuses/free bets.
Also, before you place your bets, you should check that the odds haven't changed. If they have, let us know by mail or phone us on 01642 223229 and we will rework the bet
for you.
There is a wagering requirement at Bet 24. You have to roll your winnings over before we can withdraw them but it is very easy to do this risk-free. If Germany U21 win, please contact us and we'll show you exactly how to do this. Winnings from the other two bookies are immediately withdrawable.
Please feel free to contact us or phone us on 01642 223229 if you have any questions at all about this bet and we will help you as much as we can.
Please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using, you
won't be able to do this. If that is the case, mail
us or phone us on 01642 223229 and we'll create an alternative bet for you using different bookies.
This method of betting was used very successfully during the 2006 World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.
We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that
question is that this is the fifth season that we have been publishing these kind of bets and literally hundreds of people have profited from
following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our
advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers, which is highly unlikely.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to
claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these next season.
