BBC Radio Five Live may just be regretting waking Manchester United legend Paddy Crerand up before he'd had his Weetabix this morning, with the 73-year-old erupting a little misguidedly it must be said at the presenter over his 'ludicrous' suggestion that Rio Ferdinand provoked the Man City fans with his celebrations at the end of Sunday's Manchester derby.
Champion jumps jockey AP McCoy gave Manchester United their first winner when he rode 7/2 shot
Cuban Piece to victory at Bangor yesterday. Co-owners of the nag include Michael Owen, Ryan Giggs,

visitors look bankers at 2.1 with bet365 and Paddy Power to come away with all three points.
Bookmakers make Spain the favourites at 2.2 to win in normal time, but their are plenty of
reasons to believe that Italy are worth a punt at 3.75 with bet365 and Paddy Power to come out on
top.
They put in an encouraging performance against the world champions in the opening game in the
Group stages when drawing 1-1, and since then have improved with every game.

United's record against Everton is outstanding, so it's no surprise that they are long odds-on
at 1.33 with bet365 and Paddy Power to beat the Toffees at Old Trafford on Sunday.

QPR v Arsenal: Eight in a row for the Gunners? Arsenal are on a roll and make
plenty of appeal at 1.
United travel to Molineux to take on woeful Wolves on Sunday and look bankers at 1.36 with
Betfred and Paddy Power to come away with another valuable three points.
Sir Alex's side were not at their best when getting knocked out of the Europa League in midweek,
but you can't help but feel that competition was a distraction for them.
United travel to London to take on QPR this weekend, and are a top priced 1.5 with Betfred andÂ
Paddy Power to win at a ground where they haven't lost for 22 years. They have won eight and lost
none of the last 11 meetings with the Hoops in all competitions and come into the game on the back
of thrashing Wolves 4-1 to extend their unbeaten run in the league to eight (won 5, Drawn 3).
This week on the Nearpost we take a look at the rise of the Chinese Super League and its parallels
with the Premier League, will the big name stars hurt the national team even more? We also dissect
the election of Australia's Greatest Footballer and the best eleven to pull on the green and gold.
All that and more this week from Paddy and the two Nicks.
July 1st Final Countdown by Off The Post on Mixcloud With Ben all footballed-out, he's gone to get
away from it all in the last place anyone would be talking about Euro 2012: Scotland. So it's
fallen to Alex and Paddy to wade back through the tense, swampy waters of both semi finals, and

This week's show revolves around the theme of disguises and imposters (and owls). Who are those two
suave moustachio-ed gentlemen who have kidnapped Ben and Paddy and stolen their places on the sofa?

it to blag [.
Scarborough Athletic lined up against high flying United minus Gary Hepples and Ryan Blott, who
were both serving suspensions and Paddy Miller was also absent due to food poisoning. Dean Windass replaced Blott and new signing Luke Fletcher replaced Hepples, Denny Ingram
stepped in for the unlucky Miller.
Boro were a completely different class to their West Yorkshire based opponents today, no
disrespect to Thackley who are a decent side, but today they could not live with the brilliance of
Boro. After today's performance I cannot imagine Rudy leaving Gary Hepples out of his future starting
line-up's, once again Gary was my man of the match, he rightly regained his place today at the
expense of Dean Windass, who was on the subs bench.
Sydney FC looks set to blow the return of Marcos Flores out of the water with the signature of
Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero. Holger Osieck has also selected his new squad for the matches
against Lebanon and Jordan, while the Sunshine Coast likes their chances of securing the next
A-League licence.
It's out with the AFL and in with the NRL at FFA Headquarters, with David Gallop announced as the
incoming CEO to take over from Ben Buckley once the new TV deal is negotiated. The transfer
merry-go-round also continues, with Richard Garcia set to line up in central defence for Melbourne
Heart this season.
I love RVP, and I concur with Wenger in that he is the best captain at the club since Paddy, and
like all Gooners I sincerely hope he signs up for another 4 years with us. If he decides he wants
away, that is his prerogative and as disappointed as I will be I will wish him well as the
situation is nothing like that of Cesc's or Nasri's from last Summer.

with an easy opportunity and he took his chance well striking the ball home from near the edge of
the penalty area.
