The Thriller in Camilla
William Shakespeare famously wrote, "A horse! A horse!
My kingdom for a horse! Little did Willy know that his prophecy
would one day be fulfilled. Charles would have been better
off reading the work of another great writer who famously
penned, "Why buy the cow, when the milk is free?"
But unlike the royal family, marriage
is a great institution and I can see the couple having a very
happy future together, as they both appear to be very much
in love with him. Super Soccer have created 20 Royal Wedding
specials, in honour of the Country's 13th favourite royal.

It's not surprising that Chas and Cam
chose the weekend of the Grand National to become man and
wife, as there are definite similarities between the two events.
Both have participants with plenty of form, an old mare will
receive a bit and there will definitely be a German entry.

at Super Soccer.

The National is usually won by a horse
with a topical name, so after failing in my search for a horse
called "Villa put five past Albion" I can confidently
narrow the field down to Clan Royal or Forest Gunner; have
a win on each, and a little reverse forecast.
Spooky coincidence of the week:
After the Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer
ruck last week, I thought I'd see if any anagrams could be
made from the two player's names. Imagine my surprise as I
discovered you could spell out "Two idiots fight on pitch"
if only you had a completely different set of letters.
Cliché watch: (Inspired by Rafael
Benitez)
What they say:
"We can beat anyone."
What they mean:
"Juve are gonna hammer us in the 2nd leg."
Lesson of this week:
If Lee Bowyer makes a good run, you
play him in.
Quote of the week match betting:
"Why didn't you pass it to me,
you f****** c***."
1/10 Lee Bowyer (After Kieron Dyer
wasted possession.)
5/1 Delia Smith (After a waiter walked past with a bottle
of wine.)
Straight to the Punt:
Southampton: Take advantage of 3/1
about the Saints beating Blackburn. Like Crouchy; it's simply
too big.
Acc's man:
Southampton
Chelsea
Arsenal
Aston Villa
Tottenham
The five fold pays over 30/1.
