    Chelsea v Liverpool: Champions League Betting Preview
    Sit down. Make yourself comfortable. It could be a long night. There’s never usually much to separate these two teams and I don’t think tonight’s game will be any different. John Arne Riise’s injury-time own goal put a completely different complexion on this leg when he headed a Chelsea equaliser at Anfield last week. Instead of having to defend...

    Man Utd v Barcelona: Champions League Betting Preview
    For once, Fergie got it wrong at the weekend. He showed that his priority lies in landing his elusive 2nd Champions League and not yet another Premier League title. How else can you explain his team selection without the frankly irreplaceable Ronaldo? Tomorrow night he has the chance to redeem himself and show that he could indeed afford to sacrifice 3 points at Stamford...

    Free Download: Eurovision Song Contest 2008 Sweepstake Kit
    There are just two certainties in Eurovision 2008; Andorra will award Spain 12 points and Terry Wogan will take the piss out of every country. You might also want to add a final tally of ‘Nil Point’ for the UK entry from Andy Abraham. The bookies rate his as the worst entry we’ve ever had at 150/1. What? Even worse than Skoosh? or whatever they were called? The...

    Celtic Odds Shorten After Old Firm Win
    It looks like the SPL title race is going to the wire after Celtic beat Rangers for the second time in 10 days to move 5 points clear at the top of the table. Rangers have three games in hand over their Glasgow rivals but with a squad that is getting more and more depleted with each passing game they face a real struggle to win the necessary points to overhaul Celtic. Bookies...

    Has Paddy Paid Out Too Early?
    In his own inimitable style Paddy Power paid out on Manchester United retaining their Premier League crown with several games to spare, but yesterday’s defeat at challengers Chelsea has seen United’s odds almost double to win the Championship. Before the game Sir Alex’s team were widely available at 1/8 but that 2-1 defeat has seen them pushed out a bit...

    Celtic v Rangers: Betting Preview
    The games are coming thick and fast for Rangers these days and today sees the fourth and final instalment of this season’s Old Firm battles and a game that is must-win for Celtic. The heat has been turned up another notch following the SPL’s farcical announcement that there may be a league extension should Rangers reach the UEFA Cup final – a move that...

    Will Beattie’s Run Continue?
    A few weeks ago I mentioned that Sheffield United striker James Beattie has made a habit of going on scoring runs throughout his career. At that point he’d scored in his last 2 games and he’s since went to score in another 3, taking his streak to 7 goals in 5 games, including 2 penalties. His Sheffield United side are on a great run of form and today host...
