Born in the cankerous imagination of my colleague Aidan, we bring you the opportunity to win a €/£50+ free bet by trying to decipher some app created nonsense. Joyous, or at least as joyous as he’s capable of getting, at watching his bet on Ivanovic to score last in the Europa League final coming good, […]

GIF: Shaun Maloney’s 25 free kick…Wigan’s last moment of hope
After the way Wigan performed at Wembley on Saturday,to win the FA Cup, the Latics fans were right to feel a least a glimmer of optimism ahead of tonight’s game away to Arsenal. Shaun Maloney’s well executed free-kick right before half-time cancelled out Lucas Podolski’s 11th minute opener and looked to have rattled a less […]
[Video] The greatest FA Cup final goals ever….according to the FA
It’s the FA Cup final between Manchester City and Wigan today and the FA have compiled what they believe is a collection of the best goals from this yearly show-piece game. There are a few noticeable absences, notably Micheal Owen’s goals against Arsenal in 2001 and Paul Scholes in 1999, amongst others. No doubt you […]
Amy Eustace: Moyes to be merrier without moody Rooney
This week @AmyEustace ponders Wayne Rooney’s Old Trafford future following David Moyes’ appointment as Alex Ferguson’s successor. If, like me, you’re one of the many football fans who have never known a world in which Fergie doesn’t stalk the Old Trafford touchline, chomping gum, chewing out referees and dictating the ebb and flow of injury […]
Paddy Power puts up controversial billboard in Liverpool. Too far or too funny?
We here at Paddy Power love a bit of controversy. Especially if it gets our name in the papers. You could say we’re the Lindsay Lohan of bookmaking. It may seem like we’re just wandering around in a stupor getting in to trouble and allowing paparazzi to take up-skirt pictures of our leafless kooch. But […]
Twitter Reaction to Sir Alex Ferguson announcing his retirement
There you are. After 26 years, 38 trophies and an eternity of added on time, Sir Alex Ferguson is retiring from his role as overlord of the Dark Empire. Otherwise known as being manager of Manchester United. It did appear as though he would hang around for a few more seasons but at 71 years […]
[VIDEO]: Goalkeeper knocks himself out on his own goalpost
We now know one thing about Belgian side Lokeren‘s Ivorian goalkeeper Boubacar Barry, he does not like conceding goals. Barry was so focused on ensuring the ball didn’t go in between the posts that he completely forgot or simply didn’t care that the posts were there. Also that they’re really hard and not made for […]
GIF: Juan Mata slightly upsets Manchester United’s title celebrations with late strike
It was an important win for Chelsea and a meaningless blemish on Manchester United’s home record. Juan Mata’s 87th minute strike took a vital deflection off the underside of Phil Jones’ right leg and found a home in the corner of the goal, beyond the reach of Anders Lindegaard. This was the deciding moment of […]
GIF: Merseyside Derby’s most entertaining moment, Enrique successfully passes to his own face
Everton look to have secured sixth place in the Premier League at the least following a subdued 0-0 draw in Merseyside Derby at Anfield. By subdued we mean rubbish. Liverpool attempted to attack a little more than their local rivals but neither goalkeeper was unduly troubled and both sets of fans were left distinctly underwhelmed. […]
[VIDEO] Is this the best Merseyside Derby goal ever?
Deep in to injury-time the 57-year old Gary McAllister held tight to his walker and he swung his right boot at the ball. Managing to retain his balance was almost impressive as the trajectory of the ball as it skimmed past the one-man wall and crept inside the left-hand post. All from 35-yards out. McAllister’s […]
GIF: Floyd Mayweather proves he’s worth the money beating Robert Guerrero
You may not be the biggest fan of the overly brash, self-promoting, arrogance of Floyd Mayweather Jnr (36) but dear lord he can fight. On Saturday night in Las Vegas the multi-weight champion defended his WBC Welterweight title against fellow-American Robert Guerrero (30) for his 44th win without loss. Dominating much of the twelve rounds […]
GIF: Gareth Bale’s winner against Southampton, he’s one to keep an eye on
It seems the only thing standing between Tottenham Hotspur and their perennial end of season collapse is one MR Gareth Bale. Having the PFA Player of the Year, PFA Young Player of the Year and Football Writers PLayer of the Year awards in his back-pocket don’t seem to have slowed him down none. As Spurs […]
[VIDEO] Three Liverpool players, three Paddy Power customers and a smashed TV
Two weeks ago we ran a competition for every Paddy Power customer with Liverpool set as their favourite team on our Team Pages. The prize was an opportunity to meet some real live, still playing, Liverpool players at the club’s training ground Melwood. It didn’t stop there because the players would also be trying to […]
Twitter reaction to Bayern thumping Barcelona 7-0 on aggregate
Who saw that one coming? Not that many people thought Barcelona were going to overturn the 4-0 deficit Bayern Munich inflicted on them in the first leg but losing 3-0 at home? Which, if my mathematics are correct, adds up to a 7-0 tonking over two legs. Bayern’s win at the Camp Nou tonight ensures […]
[VIDEO]: Linesman attacks player for no reason, confused brawl ensues
Let me introduce you to Musa Kadyrov. He’s now an ex-linesman thanks to what you’re about to see in the below video. During a Russian Premier League game between Amkar and Terek last Friday, Mr Kadyrov inexplicably lost the plot and suddenly attacked Amkar youth player Ilya Krichmara. It’s hard to see a clear reason […]
