Premiership: Commentary, cash backs and free bets

February 23rd, 2007

Knight-mare Scenario
After suffering a drubbing at the hands of Tottenham, Fulham’s Zat Knight confessed that “at the end of the game, words were exchanged.” The words ‘absolute’, ‘crap’, ‘pathetic’, ’embarrassing’, ‘shambles’ and ‘disgrace’ must have featured strongly in the exchange. Knight even went as far as to say “I would like to apologise to the fans”. With Man Utd next up, you get the feeling that Knight might just have to buy a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates for the Cottagers faithful after this game. After winning a tricky little match against Lille during the week, you’d put the house on United leaving the Cottage with all 3 points! (Sat 12.45pm Prem+)

Not A Smashing Time
You’d have to fear for the mental state of West Ham’s Anton Ferdinand. After several poor performances you would have to wonder has he taken a knock to the head recently. Anton’s car was vandalised this week but he wasn’t blaming West Ham fans. “There was no indication that it was West Ham fans. It never even occurred to me that it might be West Ham fans.” Anton its time you received some medication, it may not have been West Ham fans but they certainly weren’t fans of yours. And the way the Hammers are playing they’ll have few fans left if they go down. Charlton at home can break this one up @ 13/10.
