An OAP has bet ?100,000 on Chelsea to win the Premiership, and is set to pocket ?6,250 if they triumph, as expected. Quite what the old dear will do if Jose Mourinho's men suffer a meltdown and throw it away, we're not sure. It was the biggest bet anyone has made on the Premiership with William Hill and their spokesman Rupert Adams said: "The lady is an occasional customer. She only tends to bet on football or tennis and has a good track record of wins. But she has not placed a bet of this size before - no woman has." Jose's mum?

If you thought Arsenal vs Man United was a grudge match, you should have been at the Roma vs Juventus clash at the Stadio Olimpico at the weekend. These two clubs REALLY hate each other and the match had 72 fouls, which made it the dirtiest Serie A game for ten years. But before the game had even started, there was trouble as Roma fans pelted the Juventus team coach with eggs. Unfortunately, it wasn't actually the Juve coach, it was the Roma squad arriving...

 

I am sure I am not the only one who wants to see Chelsea fall flat on their faces. Eff the old lady and her bet! I hope Manchester United catches them! It is gonna be tough but it is possible.
