BLOODY LONG ODDS…

The new fixture lists for the 2007/2008 season for the Premiership and the lower leagues were released at 10am on Thursday 14th June 2007. Please visit the BBC Team By Team guide for fixtures (see note below).

Unfortunately I was served with the following email after posting the fixtures here which means I can no longer provide them. There you go.

The teams that went the other way, Watford, Sheffield United and Charlton are among the favourites (more…)

Now AC Milan have exacted revenge for 2005,  the footy season is almost at an end in England and there’s so little to look forward to over the summer that we’re gonna be forced into betting on Big Brother and Stone, Paper, Scissors.
