If you stick your neck on the line all time, there are going to be occasions where you’re left looking like a right idiot. For us, the egg-on-face moment was backing AC Milan to knock out Manchester United. Still, it was only 7-2 on aggregate so we weren’t too far wrong…

Our lesson has been learned though and we are hopping back, tail between legs, in support of the three-time European champions tonight in Germany

Seven of Carlos Tevez’s 16 Premier League goals this season have been scored in Monday night games, which is a pretty emphatic stat considering he’s only played in four such matches.

The Argentine scored a hat-trick against Blackburn at Eastlands and scored twice at home to former club West Ham and away to Wolves, so bet on him

At the start of March, all the talk was about Sunderland’s 14-match winless run but a few good results later, that statistic has been replaced by one about them losing just once in eight games – and that was away to Arsenal.

Similarly, praise for Aston Villa’s status as the only Premier League team unbeaten in 2010 has diminished recently, with greater emphasis placed on

Why are we siding with the two outsiders? It’s not just because we think the

The reason Leeds have been forced to endure a third season in League One was Millwall’s unwillingness to lie down for them in last season’s play-offs, and they could yet suffer a fourth year in the wilderness because of the Lions.

Victory for Kenny Jackett’s men will take them to within three points of the freefalling Whites, who have a tricky run-in. Leeds are rarely beaten at Elland

Since Stoke’s promotion, many methods have been employed to try to nullify the threat posed by Rory Delap’s bullets into the box.

Dean Windass tried distracting him with some unusual warm-up routines, Lucas Neill attempted to engage in some towel-related mind games and, just the other day, Burnley tried pushing the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch, but still goal after Stoke goal stems from a Delap throw.

Aston Villa won’t need any fancy techniques to shield themselves from an onslaught – they’ve got Richard Dunne, while the presence of James Collins
