CHEAT OF THE WEEK 15-12-06
It's that time of the week again where our panel gets together to decide who was the biggest cheat of the previous week.
Here's this week's nominations...
Daryl Murphy (Sunderland) - a cynical Van Persie-esque handball that took the edge off an otherwise excellent goal.
Didier Drogba (Chelsea) - spent the afternoon producing dive-after-dive-after-dive and also played his part in the best soccer comedy duo since Graham Taylor and Phil Neal.
Jens Lehmann (Arsenal) - the other half of the clown double act.
Bernado Corradi (Man City) - Dived but got his just desserts. Full marks to Stuart Pearce for his post-match comments though.
Juan Pablo Angel (Aston Villa) - disgraceful elbow on Chris Morgan. Should have been a definite red card.
And so to the panel...
Dave Easson
Can we not just put Drogba and Lehmann in as the worst double act since Hale and Pace?
At last somebody noticed in the media that these two are just waiting for the slightest nudge to go flying. Paul McCarthy called them "buffoons". Andy Gray called them "sad". I call them "dickheads".
Drogba's was bad enough, but Lehmann's Norman Wisdom-style flapping "Ich bin ein Mr Grimsdale!" had them rolling in the aisles. All you needed was Bruce Forsyth with a ladder and a bucket and the whole routine wrote itself!
I'm going to have to pick Drogba for the second salmon-leap where he actually injured himself twisting to make it look as if Lehmann had razor blades stuck in his gloves.
Graham Frankland
This week's vote has to go to the diving Italian Bernardo Corradi, not only to highlight his disgraceful attempt to con the referee into awarding a penalty, but also to reward his manager for doing what we all want to see in the game and that is to embarrass his own player for cheating the public.
Well done Mr Pearce you have given the game great service by highlighting the fact that Mr Corradi has done the game a great disservice.
Simon Dixon
I totally agree with Graham on this one and my vote is going to go to Corradi too. We've started to see a groundswell of feeling against diving on cheating from the fans but the idiots on the pitch haven't realised this yet. I'm still firmly in favour of the FA reviewing such incidents post-match and handing out stiffer sentences to offenders. It'll never happen though - they're far too happy to stick their head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong with the game.
Still anyway, well done to Stuart Pearce for coming out and making his feelings absolutely clear about Corradi. Let's hope 'Sir' Alex and Arsene Whinger take note.
(Blimey, you can tell it's the season of goodwill to all men when Jeff Winter compliments Graham Poll...)
Jeff Winter
Notice that as each week goes by the list just keeps growing. These divers are killing the game. The worst one this week was CORRADI for trying to win a penalty and I can't believe I am saying it but well done Graham Poll. Even bigger applause for Stuart Pearce, if only there were more managers like him.
Lehmann and Drogba are both a couple of fannies, our lass could batter them two. Mind you it should have been a penalty to Chelsea for Lehmann's push in the box.
Sorry to break the rules and add another nomination of my own, YAKUBU for cheating the Boro by taking his wages. Yes he scored the goal that got us the point, but his body language says he does not want to be here. He is turning into another Boksic, Ricketts etc etc etc.
Andrew Morgan
It's going to have to be Corradi simply because it was so blatant. Drogba and Lehmann's comedy act was more funny than anything else, albeit funny tinged with a sense of dark humour - the lamenting fan dealing with the destruction of something he loves by laughing to the gallows.
This is what makes Stuart Pearce's comments such a breath of fresh air and we can but hope that this sets a prescendence. I find that unlikely however.
So the winner is Corradi - perhaps more for his manager's reaction than for the dive itself. Pearce's actions were a credit to the man himself and to his football club and maybe, just maybe, this dive could herald a new era.
Until next week...

CHEAT OF THE WEEK INDEX PAGE
A GUARANTEED PROFIT OF AT LEAST £41.20 ON PORTSMOUTH v FULHAM
Did you know that it is possible to win money on Sunday afternoon's Premiership clash between Portsmouth v Fulham, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 3.00pm and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £41.20, whatever the result of the match. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time, you will be at least £41.20 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
You can still do this if you have a Betfair account but your overall profit will be reduced by £25.00 as you won't receive the £25.00 cashback as an existing account holder.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £71.00 on the Portsmouth v Fulham match and we will collect £115.00 if Portsmouth win, £112.20 if Fulham win and £114.13 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of 58%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Coral. It is really important that you enter the bonus code of CORALTD when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Betfair. It is really important that you enter the promotional code of BFB425 when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Extrabet
 .
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £20.00 into your new Coral account.
Deposit £26.00 into your new Betfair account.
Deposit £25.00 into your Extrabet
account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Place £20.00 on Portsmouth at 3.00 (2/1) with Coral.
Coral will now add a £10.00 bonus to your account. Place this on Portsmouth as well. You will now have £30.00 riding on Portsmouth.
Back the draw with £25.00 at 3.7 (11/4) (or higher if available) with Betfair.
Place £26.00 on Fulham at 2.2 (6/5) with Extrabet .
Extrabet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £51.00 riding on Fulham.
The £25.00 matched bet will not show in your account but you can read all about how it works on the Extrabet site. It's the purple box that says '£25 FREE BET FOR NEW CUSTOMERS' on the top right hand side. Click here to visit the Extrabet site.
If you are unsure about placing these bets, please feel free to mail us or call us on 01642 223229 and we will talk you through it, no problem at all. There is no such thing as a stupid question.
You have temporarily laid out a total of £71.00 on the Portsmouth v Fulham match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.
If Portsmouth win, you collect £115.00. That's £90.00 from Coral plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If it's a draw, you collect £114.13. That's £89.13 from Betfair plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If Fulham win you collect £112.20. That's £87.20 from Extrabet plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Portsmouth v Fulham match is Fulham win and you make £41.20 profit. However, if it is a draw you make £43.13 and if Portsmouth win you make £44.00. That's a minimum profit of 58%, a much better rate of interest that you would get at any high street bank or building society.
6. It is absolutely vital that you click on the links on this page to open the accounts with the two bookies and enter the correct bonus codes or you may not qualify for the bonuses.
Also, before you place your bets, you should check that the odds haven't changed. If they have, let us know by mail or phone us on 01642 223229 and we will rework the bet for you.
Please feel free to contact us or phone us on 01642 223229 if you have any questions at all about this bet and we will help you as much as we can.
Please note that the bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using, you won't be able to do this. If that is the case, mail us or phone us on 01642 223229 and we'll create an alternative bet for you using different bookies.
This method of betting was used very successfully during the 2006 World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.
We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for four seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
