A 9/1 final day dead rubber four-fold to put some spring into your step
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 […]

Twitter anarchist @TheBig_Sam recalls a sojourn to the French Riviera which is a warning for beleaguered Newcastle United… Last July, the League Managers’ Association treated some of Britain’s finest, most decorated coaches to an all-expenses-paid trip to the dazzling French town of Juan-les-Pins.

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. In the minds of half of the […]

By Josh Powell | Betting news #IfWeKnewThen The Premier League didn’t throw up too many surprises at the weekend but that didn’t stop punters crashing on some huge prices.
