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.

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

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 ...

Roll the loot over at 10/11 on the startling assertion France are a -13 handicap.

The guy hanging underneath London Bridge wasn?t the only Italian Banker
2008-02-01 12:29:00 The best value 2008 Six Nations bet of all is Italy to come in under the + 16 handicap on Saturday. The song here is nothing to do with Ireland whom we’re assuming EOS’s will play competently-to-good, improving on RWC form to around 80 per cent of last season’s Six Nations’ capability. I’m also betting Ireland start ... More About: London , Italian , Rugby , Sportsbook , Banker
