THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER 24-4-08
Louis Spence
After the first leg of the semi-finals, everything is now as clear as mud. Very little daylight has emerged and the only significant change is Chelsea’s elevation to second favourites in place of Barcelona. It’s the away goal you see. Priceless.
As before the first games, Manchester United are still favourites and arch rivals Liverpool are still the outsiders. Yet it is still anybody’s cup. One flash of brilliance from any of the many world class players on show could be enough to win both ties.
The latest betting reads:
Manchester United 7/4
Chelsea 2/1
Barcelona 3/1
Liverpool 5/1
United came away from the Nou Camp lamenting the missed penalty from Ronaldo which would surely have made them odds-on to lift their third European Cup. How satisfying it was that they were denied two other justifiable shouts for spot kicks, with Ronaldo the aggrieved party in both instances.
It was compulsive viewing watching those unhappy supporters and their ‘orrible little manager, the Purple People Eater.
They have obviously used up their quota of freebies through the years in the highly debatable penners that Winky has conned from malleable Premiership referees, with Boro having suffered more than most. How does it feel boys. Not good? Shame.
The obsession that Benitez seems to have with this competition at the expense of all else continues. It is all very well when things are going right (as in their triumph of 2005 and their near miss in 2007) but when they are the only one of England’s "Big Four" not yet to have won the Premiership title, questions are bound to be asked.
Jeez, even Blackburn have done that.
Would you pay £27million for a fantastic striker just to mothball him for much of the domestic campaign? Have a word, Senor.
When you also substitute the potent Babel for some benchwarming rabble, don’t come looking for sympathy. Your decision making is at fault. Tinker tinker.
Chelsea must now fancy their chances of contesting their first European Cup Final having played poorly (shock!) only to be gifted a corking own goal from Riise. Before any Scousers dare claim the Blues were lucky, they should first consider just how fortunate Liverpool were to be there at all after dubious refereeing decisions again went their way against the misfiring Gunners.
This was despite the fact that Grant decided that Malouda was more of a threat than Joe Cole. Maybe he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Their oh so loyal fans could be spot on.
What an awful year Arsenal have endured. Since the Eduardo injury, which happened when the brilliant Van Persie was still sidelined, their limitations have been cruelly exposed. Incompetent defenders, poor captaincy and a forward with the Championship class of Bendtner filling in for genuine big hitters proved the undoing of a team that are invariably a joy to watch.
Schadenfreude abounds. Every year the hoi palloi of the Premiership (which are the sixteen other clubs and their fans who compete on totally unfavourable terms against the "Big Four") have had to endure the gloating of their success bloated disciples. Sickbag, please.
So as an unbiased observer, it is brilliant to watch the suffering when the glory boys suddenly come unstuck. Oh the tears, it's just not fair. Mam, Mam.
They don’t like it up ‘em, Captain.
If the bookies have this one right, as I suspect they have, we will have the highly entertaining business of the Manchester and Chelsea geezers scrabbling to get their visas (‘Ere, wots one of them?) to visit Abramovich’s old stamping ground for the Final. Brilliant.
How sweet will that be for the rest of us who have suffered at the hands of these cash laden teams and the lackey officials who seemingly make their Premiership matches a tad easier for them. Not forgetting our ever obliging FA. Grovel grovel.
Truth to tell I do not care which of the four win it. I wouldn’t have a bet on any of them.
If however you fancy a punt, save your money and have a 100% guaranteed winning bet.
Reader, this one is on me (see below).

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.
