Usain Bolt Kicks Off UK Book Tour, Hopes to Sign with Man U
-----------------------------
Jamaica’s answer to speedy Gonzales, Usain Bolt, kicked off his UK book tour in London yesterday but it’s not the book – Usain Bolt: My Story 9.58 – that is causing as much a stir as the sprint champs’ enticing Sir Alex Fergusson to sign him with Manchester United. Fancy that.

Inter Milan Defeated in Super Cup, Bolgona Next in Serie A Action
-----------------------------
Is that large factory-farmed egg on Rafa Benitez’s face or is that my imagination running wild? Nope, it’s egg alright. Can’t say I am surprised really what with his boasting challenge to all and sundry to rival Inter Milan in silverware this season ahead of UEFA Super Cup but after his side won the Coppa Italia.
A side, I might add, that picked up a triplet of titles last...

Premier League Game Week 3 Betting – Man City and Aston Villa
-----------------------------
Sunday Premier League action serves up an eye-catching affair between Sunderland and Manchester City, as well as a prying affair between Aston Villa and Everton. The Citizens will look to keep pace at the expense of the Black Cats while Aston Villa and Everton will aim to find pace when they collide.

Premier League Game Week 3 - Liverpool vs. West Bromwich Albion
-----------------------------
After two cycles in the Premier League, predictions that had Liverpool challenging for a top four finish by season end seem now rather hopeful. Well, at least a tad.
Facts are thus: a 1-1 draw with Arsenal and a 3:0 defeat to Man City later and Liverpool are 17 th in the table, which is relegation territory.

EPL Betting Game Week 3 - Bolton Wanderers vs. Birmingham City
-----------------------------
The clash between Bolton Wanderers and Birmingham City on Sunday is rather compelling to my mind.
Both sides have had a strong-ish start to the season, collecting four points out of a possible six in the first two weeks, which puts them ahead of clubs like Aston Villa, Everton and Liverpool in the table, for now at least.

EPL Betting Tips Game Week 3 - Tottenham vs. Wigan
-----------------------------
Just as I call out Tottenham for the less than desirable start to the EPL season and high wire act on the European stage last week, don’t they go and put on a show stopper at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night – their best performance to date – and make all my nay saying nothing but a load of nonsense.
Down a goal in the UEFA Champions League tie with Young Boys and a bit of a...

Premier League Game Week 3 – Manchester United vs. West Ham United
-----------------------------
Manchester United host a hapless West Ham United at the Old Trafford in what should be a straightforward affair for Sir Alex Fergusson and his men on Saturday night.
Avram Grant, formerly at Portsmouth’s helm and singularly responsible (as far as I can see) for leading Pompey down into second-tier bliss, has now led the Hammers to two successive defeats on the new season. More likely...

Saturday Bundesliga Game Week 2 – Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen in action
-----------------------------
Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen finished the 2009~2010 Bundesliga second and third respectively, and as such, they were considered serious title threats on the current season. So you can imagine the disappointment with which they were greeted after both suffered hefty defeats in opening day action last weekend.
