Heres the latest contribution to BookieLabRat.com from the team at popular Irish Bookie BoyleSports.com.

Eduardo marked his return to Arsenal’s first team a year after the horror injury which threatened his career by scoring twice in his side’s FA Cup victory over Cardiff last night.

THE SUN: Eduardo Da Silva wept with joy as he capped an amazing comeback from his leg-break horror with a double strike. Also: Paul Collingwood hit a dazzling ton as England took command of the Third Test against the West Indies.

DAILY MIRROR: Arsenal striker Eduardo made an emotional return last night - a year after suffering a horrific broken leg. Also: Rafa Benitez has accused his Liverpool bosses of leaving him “dead” because of their agonising contract dispute. Also:

DAILY STAR: Eduardo ended a year of agony with a stunning double strike on his Arsenal return in the FA Cup last night. Also: Michael Ballack last night denied playing a key role in Big Phil Scolari’s sacking.

DAILY MAIL: Eduardo marked his return to Arsenal’s first team a year after the horror injury which threatened his career by scoring twice in his side’s FA Cup victory over Cardiff last night. Also: England centre Riki Flutey signed for French club Brive yesterday at the start of a cross-channel exodus of Premiership rugby internationals.

DAILY EXPRESS: The tears flowed for Eduardo at the Emirates last night as he marked his first Arsenal appearance in a year with the opening goal as the hosts outclassed Cardiff in their fourth-round replay. Also: Paul Collingwood’s third Test century in nine innings drove England into a position of total dominance in the third Test.

THE TIMES: England were in a dominant position after two days of the third Test at the Antigua Recreation Ground yesterday. Also: Some storylines in sport are simply meant to be.

DAILY TELEGRAPH: The Rugby Football Union are to consider setting up an emergency fund to help Premiership clubs fight off raids on elite England players by cash-rich French clubs. Also: Fifty-one weeks ago, Eduardo was lifted into a Birmingham hospital bed, his left leg mangled, his career in doubt.

THE GUARDIAN: Against strangely becalmed opponents this was the type of smooth and slick display with decisive end product that Arsenal have often struggled to find this season. Also: Manchester City are still hoping to persuade John Terry to join them in what would be one of the more astounding transfers of modern times.

THE INDEPENDENT: Last night, Arsene Wenger was given some of the evidence he needs to feel the rest of the season could be fruitful. Also: Michael Ballack has defended himself against accusations that he was part of a plot to oust Luiz Felipe Scolari, who was sacked as Chelsea manager eight days ago.

Manchester United have been shortened from 6/4 to 11/8 favourites (PaddyPower) to win the Premier League title following their hard-fought 1-0 win over Middlesbrough at Old Trafford on Monday night reports the Gooners Guide to Betting.

United dominated for most of the game and missed a host of chances before Dimitar Berbatov blasted home the winner in the 69th minute. The result means Sir Alex Ferguson’s men now trail Liverpool by seven points and Chelsea by four in the race for the title but have two games in hand.

Chelsea are 2/1 second favourites (VCBet) with Liverpool available at 9/4 (BetFred) despite being top. Arsenal are 33/1 (Bet365) shots with Aston Villa 66/1. (Bet365)
