The football blog for fans of all clubs
Bad news! The football season is nearly over! A few championship, promotion and relegation issues have been decided already, but in the couple of weeks remaining in the divisional races there’s still a lot for many teams to play for. There are still plenty of betting opportunities for sport betting aficionados too! Here are a […]
After a couple of weeks absence due to a vacation, I can confirm that Betting Bad is back, and hopefully better than before! Before my little mid season jaunt to America, I had written ten instalments of this soon-to-be world famous series. Of these ten instalments, only one provided a winner, way back on episode […]
I love international football. The World Cup is my one true love in life, and when the football calendar is broken up due to qualification processes, I have no issue at all. What really grinds my gears is this international break. Friendlies are a waste of time. They are full of top players conveniently picking […]
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of Betting Bad, the world renowned (maybe) series where the premise is simple – you don’t follow my Betting tips, you use them to work out who you are going to avoid betting on! I have written eight instalments of this series since the turn of the […]
Last week hurt me. If I was just a casual punter I would not have bet at all, but I made a commitment to you, valued reader, to continue my betting series in a bid to help you know who to avoid in your own accumulation selections. But why did I wish I hadn’t bet? […]
One of my cardinal rules of this betting series is that we absolutely do not cash out. It doesn’t reflect the purity of a good bet and leads to indecision and stress. That being said, if I had cashed out last weekend on the 80th minute mark, I’d have turned my £5 bet into round […]
One week ago, on a bright and chilly morning in Manchester, I found myself walking through the city centre. I didn’t know where to go or what to see, my usual overloading of Trip Advisor and Lonely Planet having evaded me on this trip. I had no time to do a stadium tour of Old […]
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Five attempts and a stupid chunk of money have been wasted through weeks 1-4, but the taste of sweet vindication was enjoyed by myself with last week’s victory. I will be honest, I so nearly cashed out, accepting a couple of pound loss, but I withheld, mainly because […]
Good morning, afternoon and evening to you all, and welcome to another addition of my substandard series – Betting Bad. To all you regular readers, I’m sure you know the drill. To all the newbies, here’s a quick refresher. Basically, I am cursed. I have a betting curse. The last accumulator that I won which […]
Well, here we go again. Lord knows I could do with a win this week. It’s been three weeks that I have been writing this series and I am yet to win. On one hand, I am happy, because it would be fairly bizarre to run an ironic betting account giving tips that I am […]
An Introduction Those who know me on a personal level know that my opinions on many things don’t tend to go along with the majority. Some say I’m just wired differently, some think it’s a subconscious reflex just to naturally be ‘contrary’. Through this occasional feature I hope to provoke some discussion by laying out […]

To kick the 2014 World Cup off, Morphsuits took football to the streets of London and flashmobbed Trafalgar Square, to predict the final score of the first of England’s matches, against Italy on Saturday 14th June. The Morphsuit cladded entourage of English and Italian players took over the square , weaving in and out of tantalised spectators, disputing offside calls, red […]
