THE PREMIERSHIP MEGASTAR - 14-1-08
Louis Spence
Since the inception of the money-laden Premier League in the 1992/93 season we have had the pleasure and privilege of watching many of the world's football superstars in the flesh. Although it has not been cheap, it has been an absolute joy to marvel at the skills of Cantona, Zola, Juninho and many, many more.
The stars just keep on coming. Now we have the mercurial talents of Berbatov, the pace and power of Drogba and of course Ronaldo (you can say diva and I can say diver), who is still a sight to behold when he is at his majestic best.
It has not given me much satisfaction, however, to watch in action the person I rate as THE Premiership Megastar.
You see I do not like the way he goes about his business. I do not like his bombastic bullying of officials nor his petulant behaviour because the media may not buckle to his command.
I also dislike the endless mind games he employs to exert mental pressure on opponents and that demented little David Pleat three hop dance he does. AAARGH!
He is not, and never was, a gifted footballer. He is however a fighter. A winner. And an outstanding manager.
Sir Alex Ferguson
When he joined Manchester United in 1986, the Reds had not won the league since 1967. He endured some tough barracking as he painstakingly went his own way building another successful dynasty.
His first trophy came in 1990 when he won the FA Cup. The tide was turning and in 1991 they won the Cup Winners' Cup, defeating Barcelona in the final. The League Cup followed in 1992 and then came the avalanche of successes that marked this special man as THE Premiership Manager.
In the fifteen seasons the Premiership has been in existence, his charges have won the title an amazing nine times, finished runners-up on three occasions and have three third places to their credit.
At the start of this season I tipped Man U for another title. Nothing I have seen from a resurgent Arsenal has swayed me from this line of thought. When the going gets tough, so does Alex. Ask Kevin Keegan.
To accompany those titles he has, in the Premiership period, won four FA Cups, one League Cup (mere bagatelle to United) and of course, on one unforgettable night in 1999, his United side captured the European Cup with two late late goals to defeat Bayern Munich.
Winning this has now put Alex alongside his hero Sir Matt Busby, who similarly triumphed back in 1968.
It is not just the countless trophies he has accrued. He has ALWAYS done it by playing teams packed with attacking flair.
He has a fearsome reputation and has on at least five occasions to my memory shipped out wonderful players whose thinking did not correspond with his. "My way or the highway"? That phrase could have been invented for the combustible little Govan Oven, whose other nicknames include Furious Fergie.
It is always debatable as to when a recognised team comes to an end but it is generally accepted that thus far he has built three outstanding Manchester sides.
Please reader do not insult my, or for that matter, your own intelligence by pointing out the riches he has had at his disposal. You may have had an argument were it not for the fact that he dragged Aberdeen from the sidelines of Scottish football and turned them into worthy three times champions. He also won a European trophy, defeating Real Madrid no less, to win the Cup Winners' Cup with the Dons. This remarkable transformation was completed with limited funds.
Not only that but wealth itself does not guarantee success in the short term let alone this seemingly endless run that Ferguson has embarked upon. You can argue with most things in football but facts are facts. Show us your medals. Victory is always the decisive repartee.
He has been and continues to be the most exceptional talent in English football today.
He is to me many things I do not like about the modern game.
He is, however, undoubtedly THE PREMIERSHIP MEGASTAR

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.

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.
