Gerry McDonnell
Gerry McDonnell was born in 1973; a result of a drunken liaison between the world's foremost football odds compiler and a super-model. Gerry now compiles odds professionally, and is the leading football expert in the world.
Weekend Preview: Bow Down To Happy Gilmore
I’m all for good-natured banter at a football match, but supporters are beginning to overstep the line. Harry Redknapp commands respect from all the major players in the game, such as Frank Lampard and Jamie Redknapp, yet the colourful manager endured a torrent of vitriolic abuse when Portsmouth travelled to Aston Villa.
Third Ruck from the Son
A great book does not necessarily make a great movie. Catch 22 is probably the seminal piece of literature of the twentieth century (if we choose to overlook Derek McGovern on Sports Betting); yet the film was a major disappointment. Somewhat conversely, I found George Orwell’s tale of Soviet totalitarianism quite heavy going, but I…
Short and fat, with a Terry on the top
Sigmund Freud was nothing but a hairy quack. My cantankerous nature is not the result of a repressed Oedipus complex; I only feel hostility towards my father because he’s really annoying. Before senility kicked in, the old fellow would try in vain to act cool around my friends. I genuinely sympathise with anyone who has…
It’s Wayne in Cats and Dogs
I’ve never really seen the point in children. I can appreciate their usefulness when they’re big enough to nip down to the off-license, but I’m not sure if that justifies the £10 a year it costs to clothe them. My little Goliath has been playing up recently. The wife has the cheek to say he…
On the third day…Heroes again
The wife is easily influenced by the mainstream media. Ever since the BBC first aired ‘Heroes’, she believes she has supernatural abilities. I’ve tried to explain that ‘sensing’ I’m not in a romantic mood does not equate to a ‘power’; she’s merely deduced that I haven’t been drinking heavily. I, however, have a genuine gift….
Weekend Preview: The Wright To Remain Silent
Advertisements rarely reflect real life. Take the long-running ad where an irritating couple attempt to arrange a £25,000 loan. When the bint turns to her slow-witted spouse and asks, “How much do we want to borrow again?” midway through the negotiations, the so-called male doesn’t even attempt to administer the appropriate response to her fundamental…
Weekend Predictions | This is the ode to Hel
I’ve never been particularly lucky in love. As a result of a severe lack of confidence, I can only approach women after a skinful of lager when the beer goggles are on. Even Kermit would have turned his nose up at some of the pigs I’ve tried my luck with. I raised the bar marginally…
Lies, Damn Lies and Jamie Redknapp
My heart goes out to supporters of Liverpool FC. The club have been rocked by Champions League failure, the validity of their Merseyside derby victory has been questioned, and they have to travel to Liverpool at least once a fortnight. Steven Gerrard probably received the brunt of the criticism after the controversial derby day win….
Cole, Frank Incensed and Meh
I’ve never been a great fan of Steve McClaren, but it’s wholly unfair to place the blame for the death of English football at the feet of one hapless individual. Personally, I hold Frank Lampard solely responsible.
