By Aidan Elder | Chief sports writer This is karma. 12 months after QPR’s pluckiness and Manchester City’s complacency contrived to make for the most exciting end to a Premier League season in history, we’ve been handed a set of fixtures which make mowing the lawn on a mild afternoon seem moderately appealing. Yes, Arsenal and Tottenham are trying […]
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. Weeks are filled with endless transfer stories, meaningless friendlies on the other side of the world, and claims that your team’s kitman has scouted the next ‘Messi’ outside a […]
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 […]
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.

Amy Eustace on Friday: Everton aren’t impressive, just plain boring
As Rebecca Black correctly points out ‘It’s Friday, Friday, got to get down on Friday’. That’s all well and good but before we ‘get down’ @AmyEustace is getting her claws out and ripping into ‘boring boring’ Everton… The Merseyside Derby is worth its attendance in column inches. Generally the majority of those inches are taken up by the […]
Double trouble: Liverpool sink Paddy in enhanced odds and last goalscorer pay-out
Paddy was well and truly caught with his pants down after a monumental rick in enhancing Liverpool from 5/4 to 5/2 at half time ‘to score next’ saw punters take him for a cool six-figure sum on Sunday afternoon. His recklessness – and Daniel Sturridge’s accuracy – means the bean counters have a ready-to-roll copy of […]
FourFourTom: Are Liverpool too dependent on Luis Suarez?
FourFourTom debates the Luis Suarez situation at Liverpool and suggests two players who could replace him IF he decides to leave… If you were to extend the question ‘Is Luis Suarez a world class footballer?’ to a room of neutral football fans, the divide would be almost inexplicable.
