Running Amok: Bolton v Blackburn
Bolton v Blackburn: In the white corner we have Bolton ‘The Wreckage’ Wanderers. In the blue corner we’ve got Blackburn ‘Raw Aggression’ Rovers. It’s enough to have you looking at Over 55 Points on the Card Index @ 5/4. If you think we’re unfairly stereotyping, well we are, but listening to Rovers’ midfielder, Aaron Mokoena you can understand why. Mokoena predicts that it will be “a physical game and I’m sure Bolton will be worried knowing they are playing against the real Blackburn” – also hinting that there is a group of people posing as Blackburn players going around the countryside.

Wheely Unlikely
Juventus are managing to win without the assistance of Italian referees, so it looks like the Old Lady will back in Serie A for the start of the 2007/08 season. With that in mind, manager Didier Deschamps is already planning the additions to his squad that will ensure they return as a major force. The former World Cup winner is keen to bring Steven Gerrard to Turin saying “I would go and fetch him on a bicycle” – presumably wearing some bulbs of garlic around his neck and beret, just for the sake of the French stereotype.
Backing Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio and Dortmund all to win at just under 4/1 could be the start of a winning cycle!

You Hib To Expect That!
Hibernian v Rangers: With the winners of the SPL known for a long time and Rangers somehow scrapping enough points together to ensure that they will earn the honour of finishing as distant runners up, there is little to talk about in Scottish football. Thank God for Rob Jones. The Hibernian defender has turned up the heat on former Hibs captain Kevin Thomson for his return to Easter Road by saying “he won’t be wished all the best when he comes back.” Sensing the desperate need to fill column inches, he displayed a Steve Staunton-like knowledge of what a football match actually is by saying “it’s us against them.”
Will Jones make sure that Rangers Hib another bad day? Sun 2pm Set Irl.
Hibernian 5/2 (3.50)
Draw 23/10 (3.30)
Rangers evens (2.00)
AND: Don’t forget Paddy’s Money Back Special “Lennon on Song” on Sunday’s West Ham v Tottenham game. Will Aaron Lennon score the last goal of the game?
