‘The better the gambler, the worse the man’ (Publius Syrus).
In what may or may not become a weekly occurrence, here are some randomly selected fixtures, as well as two very relevant ones, complete with our predictions. The betting odds are real and our £2 bets are too. And yes, it is a competition.
1. Dagenham & Redbridge v Macclesfield Town
2. York City v AFC Wimbledon
3. Scunthorpe v Plymouth
4. Burton Albion v Chesterfield
5. Xerez v Tenerife
6. Nurnberg v TSG Hoffenheim
7. Boulogne v Lorient
8. Heracles v NAC
And in alphabetical order (somewhat pointlessly), the contenders:
Adam: Dagenham, York, Draw, Chesterfield, Tenerife, Draw, Lorient, Heracles.
Odds: 1,748-1.
Rob: Dagenham, York, Scunthorpe, Chesterfield, Draw, Nurnberg, Lorient, Heracles.
Odds: 1,039-1.
Are we bad gamblers, or bad men? I know which one I’d put money o- DAMMIT.

Literally Corner
Literally a compilation of when the word 'literally' is used to farcical effect.
Literally Corner has had to move to it's own corner of the site. So it's now LITERALLY Literally Corner.

Gratuitously Brilliant Advert Of The Week
The boy was a genius and here's a wonderful little send off by Nike for Il Fenomeno
Other, More Respectable Work
Joint effort for the ever-brilliant Run of Play on Mourinho’s narcissism
Bushby flexes his 'interviewing' muscle for the caustic and celebrated Surreal Football
A contribution to the superb In Bed With Maradona as Rob discussed Inverness Caledonian Thistle's phenomenal away record
Rob loves Macclesfield Town. There. We said it. We didn't expect anyone else to let him talk about it, but the brilliant The Seventy-Two did.
Another joint effort from Rob and Bushby for the excellent In Bed With Maradona as we put on our rose tinted glasses and pine for the 'traditional' wing wizard. Thank God for Gareth Bale...
Rob wrote about his holiday in the Portuguese Third Division and European Football Weekends were kind enough to publish it.
Before we found a niche in ranting about whatever we felt like, we wrote some stuff for very respectable publication When Saturday Comes. Here are the better ones:
Rob wrote an obituary for Keith Alexander
And on why Rafael Benitez was doomed
Bushby wrote about the death of the World Cup sticker album, and its inexplicable replacement
And on how we weren't altogether impressed with John Terry
