A Non-Chemical Romance: Gambling

Robert DiBlasio2
A Non-Chemical Romance: Gambling and the Unhealthy Infatuation With Pro Sports I look back on a significant chunk of my childhood with a fair amount of regret. From the ages of 11-18 playing sports, watching sports and religiously following my "favorite" teams within the four major professional leagues in the United States consumed an unhealthy amount of my time. I was among the top athletes in my very small town,

The beautiful game

Dave Middleton0
England 1 Italy 1 (Italy win 3-2 on penalties) So, England lost the Euro Championship final in a not overly thrilling match in which they took an early lead through Luke Shaw. A lead that gave them a, quite possibly, undeserved confidence as the Azurri struggled to hit the rhythm we knew they were capable of in the first half. Insigne, in particular, seemed determined to allow the English to

(After pleading to give him enough time to implement his style at the club). I am now genuinely concerned for the owners sanity and the future of my beloved Eagles. It was clear from the onset of

Crystal Palace Signs Jesus Christ

Brad0
If other reports in the press are anything to go by, it appears Crystal Palace have just signed Jesus Christ, Mother Theresa and the Dalai Lama as their new manager, such is the excitement around Selhurst Park and the expectations of the Dutchman Frank de Boer, after his arrival. With modern football being as it is, I can just hope that he is given the time which is obviously needed

It’s Getting Silly Now

Lord Fuzztone0
Manchester City are (allegedly) about to outbid Real Madrid for Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe. For those of you not up to speed on French football, he is an 18 year old striker and apparently worth £90 Mn. So the top clubs are now going to pay more for one single teenager than the total cost of buying an entire club in the same league (West Bromwich Albion, Middlesborough and Sunderland

Betting Scandal in FA Cup

Brad0
Brits love betting, football and pie in equal measure and all three were in full effect when fifth division Sutton United hosted Premiership giants Arsenal in the FA Cup (which as any self respecting football fan knows, is still the best competition in the world bar none). Sutton's second goalkeeper Wayne Shaw, is shall we say, a bit on the larger side than your usual footballer so a betting provider
