Who the F@*! is Alice?
2008-02-29 19:12:00 Its a fair question and one that football fans love to sing after 10 pints of post-match falling down water. But after all these years of lyrical wondering it seems we’re close to an answer. And it seems whoever Alice is she’s leaving her hair grips all around the grounds of the Premier League football ...

?Nil Interest? never mind ?Nil Points?!
2008-02-29 15:18:00 Dustin the Turkey must have the UK feeling totally deflated. There’s been virtually nil interest in this year’s UK song choice for Eurovision, and I have to say I’m not surprised. All six acts hoping to get the UK’s vote this Saturday are brutal! Is it any wonder our neighbours are pinning their hopes and ... More About: Mind , Sportsbook , Interest , Novelty , Points
Supermarket Sweep!
2008-02-29 12:45:00 Oh dear. Momentary panic took hold as I sat on the cool porcelain.

Is Kauto Star Unbeatable?
2008-02-28 21:06:00 “If Carlsberg did racing festivals; it probably wouldn’t be the best racing festival in the world, we all know Cheltenham is!” someone has probably said this already, so I won’t claim it.

Will It Be Douze Points For Dustin?
2008-02-28 14:40:00 Some people might question the wisdom of sending a turkey out to battle for Europe’s most prestigious prize. But Dustin certainly has us running for cover: he’s in to 5/1 favourite to win the whole thing, which is pretty impressive given that we haven’t even seen what collection of tinfoil-wrapped transexuals, lesbians and goblin impersonators ...

The king is dead, long live the king
2008-02-28 12:03:00 As I?m sure most of you are aware, we launched our new Racing Pages earlier this month.

Champions League Betting Preview
2008-02-19 20:45:00 Lyon v Man Utd There was a lot of transfer speculation in the papers this week about a possible move for Karim Benzema to Man Utd, but with the way Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez are playing of late, I don’t think they need him. That quartet have been sensational of late and that’s why I ... More About: Champions League , Football , Preview , Champions , League

2008-02-19 12:01:00 The Times journalist and all round European soccer expert, Gabriele Marcotti, runs the rule over compatriot Giovanni Trapattoni I’m not sure all the talk of Giovanni Trapattoni being a defensive minded coach is fair on the man, but he is definitely a coach that believes if you are 2-1 up, your first priority is to win ...

Champions League Betting Preview
2008-02-18 19:24:00 Liverpool v Inter Milan So much depends on the fitness of Fernando Torres. If he plays, Liverpool have a chance, if he doesn’t, you’d have to be worried for them.

Why We Chose Trapattoni
2008-02-15 19:32:00 It has taken a while, but I’m certain we’ve got the right man for the job in Giovanni Trapattoni. Above all else, he will bring a winning mentality to the Irish team. Our players may have lost that to a certain extent over the last couple of years and perhaps most importantly, he will instil ... More About: Sportsbook

Quite Frankly Being Pervy
2008-02-12 18:37:00 A quick survey of the vast body of work that is the Paddy Power Blog reveals that it’s heavily biased in favour of the chaps.

Weekend Football In Review?kind of
2008-02-11 17:30:00 First off it was good to see the minute’s silence was respected at Old Trafford on Sunday. Though the idea that the Manchester City fans should be commended for not mocking people they live alongside over a tragic event which ended the lives of 23 people, including a former Man City player, is a poor ...
