An Expired Pizza to Enter Jordan by Gerry Mcdonnell
There is nothing more annoying than a parent who talks endlessly about how "clever" or "sporty" their child is, before whipping out a picture of some spotty two foot hooligan tucking in to the contents of his nostril.
My Goliath though, is genuinely bright for his age. The wee lad can speak about 10 words now; that's three more than Paul Merson.
The little fellow will definitely be a footballer when he grows up. The last time we had a kick around in the garden he nutmegged me twice; nobody's regretted opening their legs more on two separate occasions since Mrs Neville. You won't regret a bet on Manchester United at 3/10 to waltz past Watford in a one-sided FA Cup semi.
If the media are to be believed, and you'll never find a more honest bunch of lads, Jose Mourinho is considering managing England when his tenure expires at Stamford Bridge.
This would be the greatest result for the average Englishman since Gareth Gates wore down Jordan with a pizza and some of the longest chat-up lines in history.
Chelsea have already beaten Blackburn on three occasions this season, a fourth win at 4/7 will set up the most eagerly awaited showdown since Peter Andre narrowly defeated Gareth Gates in a bare-knuckled 15 round extravaganza.
A few people are beginning to question Arsene Wenger, but Aristotle was once mocked when he suggested the Earth was round. Rumours of Arsenal's demise have been leaked prematurely, they can return to winning ways against Bolton at a huge 8/11.
Liverpool are finishing the season with aplomb; Bellamy I think his name is. The Pool have won their last three against Manchester City by a single goal; another Liverpool victory is advised at 10/11.
Charlton's recovery in recent weeks has been nothing short of sensational. The Addicks are on a real high, they can snatch an invaluable point from Goodison Park at 5/2.
Aston Villa return to the Riverside for the first time since a 4-0 cakewalk led to a visionary Middlesbrough fan hurling his season ticket at Steve McClaren. A punt on the Villa at 12/5 will lead to a healthy prophet.
It's the Blades versus the Hammers at Bramall Lane; that's more tools than you'd find in a Peter Andre fan club. It's a must-win game for both teams; I'm siding with the rejuvenated West Ham at 2/1.
When I suggested that Wigan were a good bet for relegation in my pre-season write-up, I received more stick than a Manchester United fan in Rome. Another Tottenham win at 7/5 will place the cat well and truly amongst the pigeons.
I'm not too sure about Fulham's decision to sack Chris Coleman a mere three days before a massive match away to Reading. I guess Mohammed Al Fayed wants to guarantee at least one decent result against the Royals. The arrival of Lawrie "Dirty" Sanchez can inspire the Cottagers to a hard-fought point at 12/5.
David James is the Pauline Fowler of the football world; you wouldn't want to get involved in a conversation with him, but he's the man to see if you need a clean sheet. The fashion icon needs one more shutout to break the all-time Premiership record; a home fixture against Newcastle can land a Portsmouth win at 11/10 and a new record for Calamity at 6/4.Weekend Football Betting Accumulator Arsenal, Portsmouth, Man Utd, Tottenham and Chelsea form a 16/1 weekend accer that is so candid, Peter Andre has decided to share his life story via the medium of a new single.

QPR wide man "Wild Thing" Gareth Ainsworth has broken his leg in the 3-2 home win against Luton.
I read an Ainsworth interview at the Kilburn Times with Ben Kosky, where Gareth seems to play down the injury, which is typical of the player. Ainsworth will not play again for QPR this season and hopes to be involved in next season pre-season training.
Ainsworth Said "It's the smaller of the two bones in my leg, but I'm still going to be out for a few months and I'll have to concentrate on being back for the start of pre-season.
The guy just fell on me and I landed awkwardly, but when I got up to try and show Luton I wasn't hurt, there was a clicking in my leg and I said to a couple of the lads "I think it's broken".
When I sat down and the physio (prav mathema) took my boot off, I realised that would be the end of my season."

Alcohol is undoubtedly cool, but it can often be abused. Earlier this week, the wife was rushed to hospital after a Buckfast frenzy. I say rushed, but the ambulance took a disgraceful 35 minutes to arrive; I'd have driven myself if it wasn't a Champions League night. The wife is now in the "Soccer AM" position, she's relying on tubes to survive.
It's not all been good news this week though; I'm really struggling to find a value bet in the match between Arsenal and West Ham. If a gun was placed to my head i'd suggest a win for Arsenal at 1/2. If a gun was placed to the wife's head; i'd say that I never negotiate with terrorists.
Finding a winner in the Reading v Liverpool match is a far simpler proposition. The arrival of Mascherano has added real steel to the Scouse armoury; I'm nicking the evens for a Liverpool win.
David James has had plenty of critics over the years and I'm afraid I have to once again question his decision making. The Pompey keeper is sporting the campest beard since Wayne Rooney's little ginger effort earlier in the season. The Manchester United train to titleville is stopping off at Portsmouth; I'm boarding at 8/15.
Speaking of a little ginger effort, I've seen worse investments than the 3/1 for Paul Scholes finding the net at any time. Sir Alex believes that the refreshed day-sleeper holds the key to United winning the title; I refuse to argue with the vastly experienced Sweaty.
Newcastle United should take a leaf out of Wayne Rooney's book; the Geordies can't buy a result at the minute. The Toon Army are winless and goalless in their last four league matches; Sheffield United can snatch a draw at a game 23/10.
Life has been far from a picnic for Frank Lampard in recent weeks. The Chelsea goal machine has been attacked by a crazed supporter and dropped by England after fracturing a bone in his wrist. Now to add insult to injury, he looks a little bit like Eric Cartman. Chelsea are 4/9 to beat Tottenham, sweet.
Big Frank was understandably devastated with the news that Arjen Robben will miss the rest of the season through injury. Superman has Lois Lane, Spiderman looks to Aunt May and Fatman needs Robben. Drogba can open the scoring at a heroic 4/1.
Earlier this season, the Boro were a lot like me when I was an altar boy; they found themselves in all sorts of trouble at the Vicarage. Watford cruised to a 2-0 win on home territory; Boro can gain revenge at 8/11.
Emile Mpenza deserves plenty of credit. The Belgian striker has not only saved the Psycho from the sack; he's also made us all realise that you can be a quality footballer and still be named "Emile". I'm making a meal of the 9/4 for a draw between City and the improving Charlton.
Chris Coleman was shocked to discover that his wife had planted a listening device in his motor. The Fulham manager has it easy; my wife has been bugging me for six years. Everton can pick up the points against the Cottagers at 8/11.
Robbie Savage's ongoing recovery from a broken leg has pleased the Blackburn board. The fact that the blonde bombshell is nearing a return is secondary; they just want the caravan removed from the car park. Aston Villa will leave Ewood Park with a point at an immovable 9/4.
The wife is the most positive person I know; she says "yes" more than the man from Del Monte. Is Wigan v Bolton a stick on draw at 9/4? I too must answer in the affirmative.
Boxing & Rowing Double: I rarely stray away from the beautiful game, but a couple of excellent betting opportunities have presented themselves further afield. Joe Calzaghe will annihilate Peter Manfredo in the boxing and the beefy Cambridge crew will see off the lightweight Oxford in the rowing. The 8/13 double reminds me of the wife; it's a slapper with a dodgy boat race. Weekend Soccer Accumulator: Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Man Utd and a Blackburn draw form a 15/1 weekend accer that is so angelic, it's made me realise how much I'd miss the wife if she failed to recover. She does make a cracking scone. Weekend Betting:
