“It was the 95th minute of their usual seven minutes of injury time,” whined the Scot, before launching a furious tirade at the blackness of a nearby kettle.  United fans will be steaming when they knock Pompey out of the Cup at 4/11. 

The FA should hang their collective hands in shame after overturning Frank Lampard’s red card against West Ham.  I can only assume that they were frightened of Lampard demanding a personal hearing, which would have led to astronomical catering overheads.  I’ll happily tuck in to the 4/11 for a Chelsea win over Barnsley. 

It appears that Lampard was let off on a technicality—he plays for one of the big four.  Jeremie Aliadiere represents Middlesbrough, so he was given a four match ban for replicating the actions of a Liverpool player—he regularly underperformed in the league.  Boro will still have enough to ease past Cardiff at 7/10. 

Last week’s accer never really got off the ground, but even Shakespeare made the occasional spelling mistake.   I’m far more confident with this week’s selections.  Reading, Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal form a 14/1 accer of such noble virtue, even Prince Harry would happily go to war to protect it—if there was a camera crew in the vicinity.
