Wayne Rooney, one of the best Premier League players of all time
Posted on | September 26, 2017 | No Comments
If over 320 professional career goals it is safe to say Rooney has been one of the most prolific strikers to have played in the Premier league. Through making his way through the Everton ranks he burst onto the scene with a screamer Ending Arsenal’s unbeaten run at just 16 years of age.
He then moved over to Manchester and played 557 games for the club. He won pretty much everything there and scored a stunning 253 goals for United. He has now signed back for Everton and on August 21st scored his 200th goal in the Premier league against Manchester City.
Throughout the years Rooney has continued to score important goals for both club and country. This also meant that he surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s goal scoring records for United and England. He is also one of only two players to have scored over 200 Premier league goals; the other of course being Alan Shearer who ended up with a staggering 260 goals.
This infographic will cover all the achievements as well as the controversy that has occurred through his footballing career. You can also check out the latest football odds ahead of another huge weekend in the Premier league. The highlight being the top of the table clash between current champions Chelsea and title favourites Manchester City.

Arc Preview: UK mob-handed in Paris showpiece
Posted on | September 21, 2017 | No Comments
With less than two weeks to go until one of the key flat racing highlights of the 2017 international calendar, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe takes place at Chantilly on Sunday 1st October.
For the layman, ‘The Arc’ as its affectionately known, is a Group 1 race over one mile and four furlongs, that brings together some of the finest equine talents from all over the globe, and is widely regarded as Europe’s most prestigious horse race. The Arc offers the chance for the finest three-year-olds of the current season an opportunity to take on older rivals in a ‘battle of the ages’ to determine ultimate supremacy.
Some of the true greats of racing’s recent past have taken glory in the French capital in the last twenty years including Montjeu, Sinndar, Sea The Stars, along with home superstar, Treve being a double winner back in 2013/14. Irish raider, Found took the honours last year for Aiden O’Brien as the four-year-old claimed the event in dramatic fashion.
Red hot
The current ante post hot favourite is Enable, trained by John Gosden, who has carried all before her so far in 2017. The three-year-old filly shot to stardom at Epsom by overcoming odds-on jolly Rhododendron in the English Oaks. A five-length destruction of the O’Brien hotpot showed that owner Khalid Abdullah had a potential superstar on his hands. Enable was next seen at the Curragh in the Irish Oaks and sauntered to another victory of similar distance.
It seemed quite unlikely at the time but Gosden decided to turn out Enable just two weeks after the Curragh victory and face her elders in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. The decision was proven to be shrewd as the filly slammed the field by four and a half lengths. Enable’s last outing saw her claim the Yorkshire Oaks at York in yet another facile win. The current best price for the star filly of her generation is 11/10 for The Arc, and from what she has already shown, it would take a brave punter to back against her.
Potential rival
Recent reports have suggested that Sir Michael Stoute is aiming his star colt, Ulysses at The Arc. The four-year old was left trailing in Enable’s wake in the King George at Ascot. The good news for Stoute and connections of the horse is that Ulysses will have a six-pound weight pull for a four and a half-length defeat on their rival if they both line up at Chantilly. Ulysses has returned to the winners’ enclosure since Ascot by taking the Juddmonte International Stakes at York back in August. A two-length win over Churchill may suggest the son of Galileo is still improving – and that makes the inclusion of Ulysses a very interesting prospect at around 8/1 for the Paris showpiece.
Home hope
Leading French hope Zarak has to overcome an upcoming gallop test to prove his fitness ahead of a potential tilt at The Arc. Currently best-priced at 16/1, four-year-old colt Zarak, owned by the Aga Khan has had a break since winning the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud at the beginning of July. Trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre knows exactly what it takes to train an Arc winner, with Dalakhani (2003) and Zarkava (2008) as past proof of his talent to produce one for the big day. Zarak proved his own stamina on his latest start after stepping up in trip to The Arc distance by staying on strongly to win by two lengths, but has plenty to find on official ratings with Enable.
Others to consider
Aiden O’Brien saddled the first three home in last year’s Arc, and the Irish super-trainer is likely to have several options for this year’s race. Highland Reel and Order Of St George, second and third behind Found last year, are on course to race in the Arc again, with Winter, Seventh Heaven and recent St Leger winner, Capri all mooted as potential options. Whoever O’Brien decides to choose, you can be assured that some, if not all, will have a live chance on race day.
German hopes will surely rest on Dschingis Secret, who has recent course form at Chantilly by taking the Group 2 Prix Foy in early September, and the four-year old can be currently had at 14/1. Japanese raider, Satono Diamond finished in fourth place behind Dschingis Secret, and was pushed out by bookmakers to 20/1 for The Arc, but cannot be totally ruled out of consideration after its first run since May.

Who will replace Neymar at Barcelona?
Posted on | August 12, 2017 | No Comments
Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona to PSG surprised every football fan and not only.
PSG activated the player’s transfer release clause of €222 million and brought Neymar to Parc des Princes. The transfer represents the world record fee by far as the previous record was held by Manchester United’s Pauld Pogba(€105 million).
With those €222 millions the initial budget has increased significantly and now Ernesto Valverde has enough money to strengthen all the departments. According to latest casino betting offers Barcelona have identified four targets that would strengthen the team for the new season.
The first player on their list is central defender Inigo Martinez. Even if Real Sociedad are not willing to sell the player, Barcelona might opt to pay the release clause which is supposed to be around €32 million. The Spanish defender is one of the most important players at Sociedad and Valverde is confident that he will also became an important player at Barcelona.
The second player on Barcelona’s list is Jean Mickael Seri. The Ivory Coast midfielder has had an tremendous rise in the last year. Nice brought him in 2015 from Pacos and since then he became an important player for the French team. Nice finished 3rd in the French league last season and the Ivorian midfielder played an important part. The deal would be around €40 million a sum that is considered acceptable by the Spanish giants.
The 3rd player on their list is Ousmane Dembele. The 20 years old French attacker was a target for Barcelona also last year but in the end the player chose Dortmund as he considered that he would have more chances to play and grow his game.
After a season in which he played 49 games, scored 10 goals and 18 assists, the Catalans are considering him a player capable of replacing Neymar. Even if Dortmund are expecting around €150 millions on him it is believed that the clubs will reach an agreement before the transfer period ends.
The 4th on the list, and maybe the most important, is Brazilian Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool who is Neymar’s coleague at Brazial national squad. If Barcelona would manage to buy Coutinho that would have an impact also on the market as the Brazilian is one of the best players in Premier League and not only.
Liverpool is not willing to let their star leave the club and already refused 2 offers from Barcelona. The last offer was around €100 millions and even if Barcelona is willing to increase their offer Jurgen Klopp is determined to refuse all the offers.
There are more players of Barcelona list but these are the main names and Ernesto Valverde is confident that he can stop Real Madrid domination in Primera Division and Champions League if all these transfers would succeed.
Will Sanchez leave Arsenal this summer?
Posted on | August 5, 2017 | No Comments
Alexis Sanchez is one of the most hunted football players this summer. The Chilean international rejected the new contract offered by Arsenal and is determined to leave the club after only 3 years.
The current contract expires in 2018 and even if Arsene Wenger tried to convince him to sign a new deal numerous times he rejected all the attempts. Even more he announced the club about his intention to leave the club when the current deal expires.Gunners manager, Arsene Wenger, refused to let him go even if he might lose him for free next summer.
Last year was the biggest disappointment for Alexis when the club failed to qualify for Champions League after finishing 5th in the Premier League. The 28 years old striker declared that he wants to win trophies and feels that he cannot achieve that with Arsenal.
All major clubs are monitoring his situation but according to betfair review PSG and Manchester City are the most interested in signing him. PSG made a few bids for the Chilean but all were rejected by Arsenal board. It remains to see if the French giants are still interested on him after signing Neymar from Barcelona for €222 millions, the record fee.
Probably Manchester City have the biggest chances now and Guardiola could reunite with his former player. It remains to see if they will rise their offer in order to have him this summer or will wait until in January when the player can negotiate with any club without club permission.
