Bet’s be ‘avin you: Football betting tips for 19-21 October Posted: 19 Oct 2012 06:45 AM PDT A return to great profit last weekend, with £40 staked and £83.50 returned. Our treble won with ease and England’s 5-0 also covered. In fact, a 93rd minute goal conceded by Sheffield United cost us another £46. Lovely stuff. Back to domestic action this week, and another £40 to stake. The first bet focuses on [...]

Former Liverpool striker El Hadji Diouf says ‘there’s no one more self-centred’ than Steven Gerrard Posted: 19 Oct 2012 05:45 AM PDT Mr Likeable, El Hadji Diouf, has taken a considerable swipe at former Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard in an interview with a French newspaper. Asked about criticism of him in Gerrard’s autobiography, the Leeds striker said: "Steven Gerrard's words? It is jealousy. I was the most important man at that time and I had everyone at [...]

10 years to the day: Wayne Rooney scores his first Premier League goal (Everton vs Arsenal) Posted: 19 Oct 2012 05:31 AM PDT Today marks the 10th anniversary of Wayne Rooney bursting onto the scene with a stunning first Premier League goal against Arsenal in 2002. A decade later Wazza is arguably still the most gifted player at England’s disposal but continues to attract criticism for his form and fitness. Has Rooney lived up to his early promise [...]

Ouch! Female high school player in Utah deliberately knees opponent in face Posted: 19 Oct 2012 01:57 AM PDT US women’s soccer has a reputation for being a little nasty. Last year we brought you Elizabeth Lambert, who was banned for punching, kicking and pulling the hair of opponents, but this story might just take the honour of the worst behaviour we have seen on a football field. When Makenzie Clark hit the deck [...]

Manchester United fanzine Red Issue prints controversial cover featuring Chelsea captain John Terry Posted: 19 Oct 2012 01:22 AM PDT Chelsea skipper John Terry is the cover star of this month’s Red Issue fanzine. The Manchester United publication went to press just as Terry was apologising for the language he used towards QPR defender Anton Ferdinand last year. The mocking cover image probably speaks for itself. Via 101GG

Jason Roberts will not wear ‘Kick It Out’ T-shirt this weekend Posted: 19 Oct 2012 01:02 AM PDT Reading striker Jason Roberts has announced that he will not be wearing the customary ‘Kick It Out’ this weekend, after revealing his anger and disappointment at the lack of action from all quarters in tackling racism recently. The Grenadan striker spoke about his frustration that Kick It Out, despite promising much, have not shown the [...]

GIF It: Cristiano Ronaldo wears his 100th Portugal cap in jaunty style Posted: 19 Oct 2012 01:02 AM PDT Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 100th cap for Portugal with a distinctly underwhelming performance in the 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland. In fact, his highlight of the match was actually collecting the cap before kick-off. Ever the slave to fashion, the Real Madrid man sat his new headgear at a rather jaunty angle to pose for [...]

It’s a huge weekend for… Mark Hughes, Wigan, AVB and Martin Atkinson Posted: 19 Oct 2012 12:47 AM PDT Mark Hughes This is getting silly now. Another bad results followed by a vote of confidence from Tony Fernandes. But the fact remains that QPR are failing miserably currently, and Harry Redknapp is potentially waiting in the wings. They sit bottom of the table and have lost their last four games in all competitions. Fans [...]

Serbian FA release outrageous smear video against Danny Rose Posted: 19 Oct 2012 12:31 AM PDT The fallout from the racism that overshadowed England U21′s victory in Serbia this week continues after the Serbian FA released an inflammatory video on their official YouTube account. The video is entitled: “Danny Rose is lying to whom?” It’s accompanied by a lengthy spiel, which digs further into the Serbian position that there was no [...]
