Manchester United showing best odds in Premiership clash
August 28, 2009
The first “six pointer” between Manchester United and Arsenal takes place this Saturday as Arsenal travel up the M6 to Old Trafford and can be watched live on Sky Sports 1. Although it’s far too early for the season to be mapped out in August the result of the game between these two Premiership giants will be a moral boosting affair.
Manchester Untied will be looking forward to the match after their disappointing league loss to Barnsley and can not really afford another loss so early in the season even the 5-0 drubbing of Wigan will not please Alex Ferguson’s team if they lose this important tie.

Betting list heats up on who Iceland will use instead of Kerry Katona
August 27, 2009
Due to the recent shenanigans that were shown on the News of The World website Kerry Katona has been booted off the Iceland television commercials which has thought to be costing enormously as her contract was up to £1 million a year, (not good when you are bankrupt) on top of this she has been arrested for fighting and has put on quite a bit of weight following her £10,000 spend on plastic surgery, she’s a long way gone from her days in Atomic Kitten and she’s bound to lose her crown as Mum of the year!
Katona’s Replacement
Now the frozen food company need to find a permanent replacement for the former Queen of the Jungle, the favourite for this role looks like her co-star and Loose Woman Coleen Nolan who has odds of just 6/4.
