Portsmouth (1/2) will mark the historic occasion of their first ever European tie with a first leg against Portuguese outfit Guimares (5/1) at Fratton Park. Harry...
TORIES SLASHED AS POLL LEAD GROWS: BOOKMAKERS have been forced to cut the price on the Conservative Party winning an overall majority at the next General Election following new polling information suggesting their lead is growing. On the eve of the Labour Party conference in Manchester, Ladbrokes have trimmed the Tories from 1/2 to...
Betting Predictions for the 2008 Ryder Cup: This year's Ryder Cup at Valhalla promises to be a closer affair than the previous two, and I can't realistically see a repeat of the previous two resounding 18.5-9.5 wins that the Europeans have enjoyed. Having said that, the formbook doesn't lie and I think that Europe have to be clear favourites...
Sunday's Premier League Football Action: Stoke City take on Everton in Sunday's feature game in a fixture that looks to be fairly evenly matched. Both sides have taken three points in three games so far this season, with Stoke only sitting two positions above Everton by virtue of their one unit superior goal difference. Everton looked...
Noon-time Clash Between Manchester United and Liverpool: Fresh from 10 days of International duty, United and Liverpool are set to face off in the first big four match-up of the season.

Ferdinand Returns for Croatia Clash?: Rio Ferdinand is reported to be fit for the Wednesday clash against Croatia in Zagreb- scene of Steve McLaren's last stand, England were eliminated from qualifying for Euro 2008 thanks to a 3-2 loss to Slaven Bilic's men. England will need the solidity at the back if they are to get a result in...
William Hill Offers Odds on Newcastle Fans Boycott: Newcastle fans continue to congregate outside St. James Park demanding that Chairman Mike Ashley and his lapdog Dennis Wise immediately resign. Cries of "Sack the Board!" are being bellowed by those huge Geordies you see on TV with the massive beer guts and faded Toon tattoos. I'm told there's a...
Jimmy Bullard's England Take on Andorra: When I found out that Fulham's floppy-haired midfielder was handed an England call-up I was tempted to tattoo the word "Capello" on my arse. Bullard remains a throw-back to the 70s-era footballer who cared about short-shorts and long hair, not Baby Bentley's. With the last England performance being...
