Stoke 12 - 11 Chelsea

Teams

Stoke: Begovic, Huth, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson, Pennant, Delap, Whelan, Etherington, Jones, Walters, Halsey.

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Torres, Malouda.

Notice Stoke had 12 men and Chelsea only had 11?

2 very clear penalty claims and a handful of not-given free kicks and Chelsea should have clearly won.

64% possession, many more shots on target, and Mark Halsey (ref) clearly on the side of Stoke and all Chelsea fans should feel robbed.

Mark Halsey should get at least a 3 match ban (equivalent to a straight red).

The good news for Chelsea is Torres played a great match, he's back to top form and was rewarded for his efforts with Man of the Match.

Note to Self >

NEVER bet on friendlies!

Flappy Brad just did BOB out of a £25 bet with his below-par goal keeping blunders. He didn't have the best game.

Orlando Pirates 1 - 1 Spurs

The Pirates are a good team. The first half was excellent, but because it was a friendly there were many many substitutions which ruined the game and the flow of the game in the second half.

One thing was learnt.

Don't waste money betting on friendlies, no matter how easy you think the game will be!

TIP OF THE DAY - brought to you by BOB, the Best of Betting (soon to be in association with Pokertooth).

Football Pundit Sacked (and more Ladies in Orange Dresses)...

Robbie Earle the former Jamaica football international has been sacked by ITV as one of their World Cup pundits after selling match tickets meant for his friends and family.

The 45-year-old, who had worked for the broadcaster for eight years, was dismissed when it emerged that a group of ladies involved in a marketing stunt were using tickets purchased by him.

Unlucky - you were caught out, but we don't really care, we just want to see more photos of the ladies in the orange dresses (naughty Bob!)...

...and if orange is your colour the you can currently get odds of around 8-1 on Holland to win the World Cup. Why not place your bet with Paddy Power? If you're not already a customer there's a free £10 bet in it for you. Here's a link...
