Wigan fans! Cushion the blow of relegation with a free bet from Paddy Power
Unfortunately for Wigan fans the day has finally come where they drop down into the Championship.

GIF: Enjoy this butter calamity for a greasy fingered goalkeeper
This happened in South Korea’s second division over the weekend. I could give you more details, but they’re irrelevant. The important thing is that this goalkeeper provided us with a few seconds of GIF gold thanks to his staggeringly inept butter-fingers. I hope the laughter makes up for the lack of details. Enjoy. Have a […]

‘When it doubt, put it out’ is the mantra of Sunday Pub league coaches and dim-witted firemen the world over and it seemed to be the philosophy Israel Jimenez was trying to adopt as he and his Tigres team-mates defended a Monterrey attack in the Mexican Premier Division on Sunday. The no nonsense attitude may […]
GIF: Mark van Bommel ends career as you’d expect from Mark van Bommel
Mark van Bommel’s professional career came to an emotional end yesterday in the Dutch Eredivisie. Well ‘emotional’ in the sense that the emotion was pain and it was mostly belonging to Dusan Tadic.

How one punter turned £3 into more than £37k with a football acca
By Josh Powell | Betting news #IfWeKnewThen A car. A fortnight abroad. 7,400 pints and a couple of unbelievable nights on the town. There is a lot of stuff £37,000 can buy you, and they are all a whole lot better when it’s come off a £3 acca. That’s just 300p. For 7,400 pints of […]
GIF trilogy: The worst goalkeeping performance you’ll see today
Believe it or not but this lad is in the top-flight. OK it is the Slovenian top-flight but still he is a professional goalkeeper. The basics of his job are catching, blocking, and generally stopping the ball going into the goal. All of which he forgets in this hilarious three-part series. Alen Pasagic is the […]
Take a look at a 40/1 acca with a Money-Back Special to cover your back
By Josh Powell | Money-Back Special There are just two weekends of Premier League footy remaining of the 2012/13 season and the dreaded summer is approaching.

Ben Watson will probably never have to buy another pair of trainers from JJB again. It was his header in the dying minutes of the FA Cup Final that won the cup for Wigan in the biggest upset since Wimbledon’s win in 1988. 15/2 shots Wigan beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley to win the […]
Sir Alex? He’s got a heart bigger than Katy Perry’s forehead and saved my life
Some things are more important to recognise than a new contract of your own. @TheBig_Sam celebrates his great pal, Alex Ferguson… A blisteringly hot day in July 2011 and Big Sam is hiking around the gorgeous surroundings of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne with a friend. As tiredness begins to take its toll on my taut yet […]
Why it isn’t wise backing Tottenham to finish in the top four
By Josh Powell | Premier League betting news The fight for the Premier League title fizzled out faster than an Audley Harrison bout. Manchester United had the crown won before the second week of February, around the same time you forgot Valentines Day and spent a night in the doghouse. Luckily for punters the battle […]
