The big freeze has wrecked the weekend ahead folks and it looks like all-weather flapper meetings for punters at the weekend unless your are a expert at Millersfield and Steepledowns..
We suggest Special Cuvee today at Southwell where horses take turns in beating one another.
The weekend soccer is near a total wipeout so concentrate on the Premiership, La Liga and the championship and we will come back on later with a few weekend soccer bets.
who is your favourite judas?
ReplyDelete1. Harry Redknapp
Left his job as Portsmouth’s manager to take up the position at bitter local rivals Southampton. Happily for Pompey fans, he oversaw the Saints’ relegation from the Premiership and then returned to Fratton Park to win the 2008 FA Cup. Some, though, never forgave him.
2. Sol Campbell
The former England defender made the extremely bold decision of running down his contract at Tottenham Hotspur and then joining Arsenal on a free transfer. You may hate him for that, but you’ve got to admire the sheer brass neck of the man.
3. Nick Barmby
At the time, luvvy Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said Barmby had uttered the worst six words in the English language when he said, “I want to play for Liverpool”. His form with the Toffees had just earned him a recall to the England side when he decided in 2000 to make the daring switch across Stanley Park. To make matters worse, he scored in the Anfield derby a few months later.
4. Luis Figo
Ok, leaving Barcelona for Real Madrid is bound to stir up plenty of ill feeling, but, really, who throws a pig’s head? The answer, of course, is Barca fans when the Portuguese winger made his return to the Nou Camp in Real colours. You might say the swine flew.
5. Mo Johnston
“Celtic are the only club I want to play for,” said Scottish striker Johnson at a press conference at Celtic Park in July 1989. A few days later, he signed for Graeme Souness’ Rangers. Amazingly, he is still alive to this day.
6. Paul Ince
The former England midfielder posed for a photograph in a Manchester United shirt while he was still a West Ham United player. Later in his career, he joined United’s bitter rivals Liverpool, making him some kind of supreme Double Judas. More recently, he betrayed Blackburn Rovers by pretending to be a manager.
7. Lee Clark
The current Huddersfield Town manager played around 200 games for Newcastle United before moving to local rivals Sunderland. However, when Newcastle took on Manchester United in the 1999 FA Cup final, Clark was spotted amongst the Newcastle fans wearing a t-shirt that read “Sad Mackem Bastards”. He was still a Sunderland player at the time. D’oh!
8. Niko Kranjcar
Tottenham Hotspur’s Croatian midfielder left his hometown club Dinamo Zagreb in 2005 to join bitter rivals Hadjuk Split. He was captain at Dinamo and all. (Sport.co.uk would like to suggest that you formulate some form of drinking game based on how often the terms ‘bitter rivals’ and ‘local rivals’ crop up in this article.)
9. Alan Smith
Left his boyhood team Leeds United to join bitter rivals (and chug!) Manchester United like a rat fleeing a sinking ship. Rio Ferdinand and Eric Cantona have also moved in the same direction, but Smith’s was made worse in the eyes of Leeds fans by the fact that the club was on its way down the divisions at the time. And that he’s local. (Insert David O’Leary gag here.)
10. Carlos Tevez
Left Manchester United in the summer to sign a lucrative deal with local rivals (and chug!) Manchester City. It has to be said, though, that United fans don’t seem to be particularly bothered. Quite how they’ll feel if Tevez nets the winner in the League Cup semi-final between the two sides……well…….
2 great results for chelsea at the weekend.
ReplyDeleteas i said in a previous posting.You are now seeing the decline of man utd.What with the 600 million in debt.Losing Ronaldo and Tevez and not being able to pay the big money for the best players in the world now,with the yanks having to pay off the debt with what pennies they now have.As for arsenal,you cannot win anything with kids :-) and liverpool are just a joke.Torres should pack his bags and head for sunnier climates and i do not mean the city of manchester stadium.
Great to see the title heading back to the bridge.
I wonder did adebayor run to celebrate infront of the gunners this time...
ReplyDeleteMan City to win 4-1 tonight folks at 22/1..

ReplyDeletesurely not?
jim m
typical wenger.
ReplyDeletewould not spend christmas.you would think its his own money the way he carries on.Thats why the emirates trophy room is empty
sam.s.
yes itrs true guys.
ReplyDeletecampbell played 45 mins last night for reserves.
No wonder we have no hope of winning a trophy
good to be a gooner
have faith..mr wenger doesnt make many mistakes...campbell will b a good squad player i would rather play campbell than either senderos or djouru all day long..
ReplyDeletea4e
a4e wenger does not make many mistakes?
ReplyDelete5 names spring to mind
richard wright
francis jeffers
cygan
senderos
and now sol the snail campbell
are you on drugs my fellow gunner?
now tell me why the emirates trophy room is empty
because wenger will not compete in the transfer market nad spen money thats available
catch a grip a4e,its time to spend od good players.If he wants to admit his mistakes let wenger bring mathew upson back.
good to be a gooner
what about the 8 million on van bronkhorst and 4 million on inamoto
ReplyDeleteanother 2 terrible mistakes my wenger
sam s
and Stepanovs & luzhni
ReplyDeletethe list is endless of bad signings by wenger.
ferguson has his list of bad signings also but he has the trophies,leagues,champions league and cups to back him up.
sam.s
Liverpool to win 4-0 tonight at a misely 12/1...
ReplyDeletecome on PG they couldn't go score 4 in five matches never mind one
ReplyDeleteSamuel Lee
Gio van bronkhurst was the best player in scotland when we signed him and went on to barca and cygan got player of year at villareal year after he left us so not 2 bad signings.
ReplyDeletesayin that yes mr wenger has made some mistakes in transfer market...name me a manager who hasnt tho...
so good to b a gooner u think matthew (darren anderton) upson is the answer to our problems. wow thats brutal...
follow the sign fellow gooners 'in arsene we trust'
a4e
a4e
ReplyDeletei trust wenger too but some of his decisions are a joke.
most of all this one.
as i said we moved into a new stadium 4 years ago and we have still to get the trophy room opened.time to splash the cash.And yes upson is a class act,campbell is a disgraceful signing and because players played well before they joined arsenal and played well after they left says a lot for the man management of wenger.A good manager can get the best out of good players.
good to be a gooner
Are u 4 real mate...wengers man management is second to none...he made thierry henry and patrick vieira into 2 of the best players in the world...
ReplyDeleteread any interview with any players ever to have played under him they all rave about his man management...
wenger has the ability to make average players into world class players..the mans a genius an i know for a fact that if he left arsenal we would never replace him...
yes it would be nice if wenger would spend money...but i aint gonna complain about it if he doesnt...i trust him enough to make it good...
a4e
a4e take the arsenal glasses off.
ReplyDeletethe emirates tropht room is empty
what part of empty do you not understand empty head.
would you rather play nice attractive football and win nothing or win trophies.
because he made henry into a class act does not mean wenger is brillaint.at a top team you are judged on trophies.just ask rafa.at least he brought the european cup home,something wenger has failed to do.
sammy lee
ricky hatton has announced his comback
ReplyDeleteleft hook+
a4e is a joke.
ReplyDeletehe said he will not complain if wenger does not spend money.
whay do you think arsenal are not winning trophies?
every arsenal supporter i know are complaining that they are not spending but you and campbell signing is an absolute joke to arsenal supporters but obviously you think it is a good signing
lets all laugh at a4e
gribbies
