€œIf you’re a goalkeeper, it doesn’t matter what you save the ball with – if you keep it out, it’s not a goal.€ A pearl of wisdom from the BBC's stalwart pundit and commentator, Mr Mark Lawrenson. Depending on where you've been getting your World Cup fix, the only thing worse than the […]

Spain v Portugal – How It's Gonna Go Down
We asked Cartoon Vampire to use his supernatural skills to give us a prediction of what's going to happen when Iberian neighbours, Spain and Portugal meet. Oh, he used his supernatural ability alright €“ his supernatural ability to cram a huge array of nob gags into a fake text commentary. ================================================ 1 min: Spain […]
World Cup Camption Comp – Day 18
Pitiful, pathetic, abject, unprofessional and disappointing. Enough about the lateness of this posting; let's move on to England's ignominious World Cup exit at the hands of Germany. Aidan has dealt with the issues expertly in his irony-laden blog about rubbish England. It's worth checking out and having a good old whinge. Moving on to today's […]
England's Downfall
No, it hasn’t been photoshopped. End Of The Line For Capello? Mark Lawrenson complaining about a constant whiny drone throughout the matches. Thierry Henry appealing for handball. The Germans coming out on the right side of a very wrong goal-line decision. The football hasn’t been great, but this has hands down been the best […]
World Cup Comp- Day17
Good morning all, another guessing game is the order of the day. I want to know what will be the aggregate total of goal minutes in the Argentina v Mexico game tonight, any goals scored in extra time will count. No penalties scored in a penalty shootout will count. We'll use fifa.com to give us the […]
World Cup Comp-Day 16
Good morning Folks, we are going to run with another guessing game today. I want to know the aggregate total in minutes for each card given in the USA v Ghana match tonight. If a player gets two yellow cards both minutes will count and if the game runs into extra time the minutes will […]

Right guys, we’re heading back to a simple guessing format again today. We did this a couple of days ago, so there’s no excuses for misunderstanding! Tonight’s matches are Chile v Spain and Switzerland v Honduras – we want to know what will be the aggregate total of goal minutes across the two games combined? […]
Mahut Match Betting Refund!
Almost as drawn out as Lost but without the ridiculous plot twists, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut tore up the record books with their 11-hour marathon. In the longest game of all time, with the most aces and the highest number of neck related injuries in a tennis crowd since Martina Navratilova’s shorts split and […]
World Cup Comp Day 14 – Yesh!
Yesh, we quite like dish kind of thing. One of the highlights of the World Cup so far was the 36 Dutch women wearing orange dresses to promote some beer. Yes, it says a lot about the football so far. Anyway Robbie Earle apparently gave the group the ITV comps and lost his job over […]
World Cup comp – Day 13
We’re back again and sticking to the guessing games for today. Tonight’s 7:30 matches are: Ghana v Germany and Australia v Serbia. In a slight change to yesterday’s format, we want to know what will be the aggregate total of goal minutes across the two games combined? So if there are goals in the 5th, 61st […]

World Cup Parley with Ray Parlour
With our new shop opening up in Canary Wharf this Thursday, we signed up former Gunner Ray Parlour to do a a little ribbon cutting for us. I managed to get a few words from him on England’s World Cup so far and their hopes for the rest of the tournament. Stop laughing you Scots. […]
England v Slovenia Mailout
From the email but not an email: It’s All Just A Clever Roo-se – [maybe] You’ve got to hand it to Fabio Capello – he sure knows how to take the heat off Robert Green. Oh sure, England may have only taken a point off the 30th best team in the world, but […]

New Improved Games Site!!
The Paddy Power Games site has had a Heidi from The Hills style make-over, except of course, unlike Heidi, the site looks better than it did before and is actually pretty darn usefull. Instead of being a narcissistic waste of space. Maybe the Heidi analogy wasn’t the best way to go. Well here’s a quick […]
