Cheat of the Week

It's that time of the week again where our panel gets together to decide who was the biggest cheat of the previous week. Here's this week's nominations...

Daryl Murphy (Sunderland) - a cynical Van Persie-esque handball that took the edge off an otherwise excellent goal.
Didier Drogba (Chelsea) - spent the afternoon producing dive-after-dive-after-dive and also played his part in the best soccer comedy duo since Graham Taylor and Phil Neal.
Jens Lehmann (Arsenal) - the other half of the clown double act.
Bernado Corradi (Man City) - Dived but got his just desserts. Full marks to Stuart Pearce for his post-match comments though.
Juan Pablo Angel (Aston Villa) - disgraceful elbow on Chris Morgan. Should have been a definite red card.
And so to the panel...
Dave Easson
Can we not just put Drogba and Lehmann in as the worst double act since Hale and Pace?
At last somebody noticed in the media that these two are just waiting for the slightest nudge to go flying. Paul McCarthy called them "buffoons". Andy Gray called them "sad". I call them "dickheads".
Drogba's was bad enough, but Lehmann's Norman Wisdom-style flapping "Ich bin ein Mr Grimsdale!" had them rolling in the aisles. All you needed was Bruce Forsyth with a ladder and a bucket and the whole routine wrote itself!
I'm going to have to pick Drogba for the second salmon-leap where he actually injured himself twisting to make it look as if Lehmann had razor blades stuck in his gloves.
Graham Frankland
This week's vote has to go to the diving Italian Bernardo Corradi, not only to highlight his disgraceful attempt to con the referee into awarding a penalty, but also to reward his manager for doing what we all want to see in the game and that is to embarrass his own player for cheating the public.
Well done Mr Pearce you have given the game great service by highlighting the fact that Mr Corradi has done the game a great disservice.
Simon Dixon
I totally agree with Graham on this one and my vote is going to go to Corradi too. We've started to see a groundswell of feeling against diving on cheating from the fans but the idiots on the pitch haven't realised this yet. I'm still firmly in favour of the FA reviewing such incidents post-match and handing out stiffer sentences to offenders. It'll never happen though - they're far too happy to stick their head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong with the game.
Still anyway, well done to Stuart Pearce for coming out and making his feelings absolutely clear about Corradi. Let's hope 'Sir' Alex and Arsene Whinger take note.
(Blimey, you can tell it's the season of goodwill to all men when Jeff Winter compliments Graham Poll...)
Jeff Winter
Notice that as each week goes by the list just keeps growing. These divers are killing the game. The worst one this week was CORRADI for trying to win a penalty and I can't believe I am saying it but well done Graham Poll. Even bigger applause for Stuart Pearce, if only there were more managers like him.
Lehmann and Drogba are both a couple of fannies, our lass could batter them two. Mind you it should have been a penalty to Chelsea for Lehmann's push in the box.
Sorry to break the rules and add another nomination of my own, YAKUBU for cheating the Boro by taking his wages. Yes he scored the goal that got us the point, but his body language says he does not want to be here. He is turning into another Boksic, Ricketts etc etc etc.
Andrew Morgan
It's going to have to be Corradi simply because it was so blatant. Drogba and Lehmann's comedy act was more funny than anything else, albeit funny tinged with a sense of dark humour - the lamenting fan dealing with the destruction of something he loves by laughing to the gallows.
This is what makes Stuart Pearce's comments such a breath of fresh air and we can but hope that this sets a prescendence. I find that unlikely however.
So the winner is Corradi - perhaps more for his manager's reaction than for the dive itself. Pearce's actions were a credit to the man himself and to his football club and maybe, just maybe, this dive could herald a new era.
Until next week...

*******************************
A GUARANTEED PROFIT ON COLCHESTER v STOKE CITY
It's a massive Championship clash between Colchester and Stoke on Saturday afternoon. Kick off is at 3.00pm UK Time and we can guarantee you a profit on the match, whatever the result.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now - don't delay! - because we expect the odds to change before kick-off which means the figures here will be invalidated.
You won't be able to do this if you already have accounts with one or more of the bookies we are using for this bet but if that is the case, mail us and let us know which accounts you have and we'll send you an alternative bet.
We're going to lay out a total of £150.00 on the match and we will collect £170.20 plus £75 in free bets if it ends in a draw. If either side win we will get all of our money back plus £75 in free bets.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open accounts with Extrabet
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts. Deposit £36.00 into your new Extrabet
3. Now make the following bets.
Place £36.00 on the draw at 11/5 with Extrabet
Place £50.00 on Stoke to win at 2/1 with Stan James.
Place £64.00 on Colchester to win at 11/8 with Victor Chandler
You have temporarily laid out a total of £150.00. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.
If it is a draw, you will collect £170.20 from Extrabet
Extrabet
£79.20 winnings, plus £55.00 winnings from your free matched bet plus your £36.00 stake back which equals £170.20.
If Stoke win, you will collect £150.00 from Stan James. This money can be withdrawn immediately.
Stan James will then credit your new account with a free £25.00 bet, whatever the result of the match.
If Colchester win, you will collect £152.00 from Victor Chandler. This money can be withdrawn immediately.
Victor Chandler will then credit your new account with a free £50.00 bet, whatever the result of the match.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Colchester v Stoke match is that either side win, when you will get £75.00 worth of free bets. But if it is a draw then you make £20.20 profit plus £75.00 in free bets.
6. It is absolutely vital that you click on the links on this page to open the accounts with the three bookies or you may not qualify for the bonuses.
Also, before you place your bets, you should check that the odds haven't changed. They rarely do but if they have, the figures here will no longer be valid.
Also, please note that the bonuses and free bets are not always paid immediately and you may have to wait until Monday before they hit your accounts.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all about this bet and we will come straight back to you.
Please note that the free bets and bonuses are valid for new customers only so if you already have an account with one or more of the bookies we are using, you won't be able to do this. If that is the case,contact us and we'll mail you an alternative bet using different bookies.
This method of betting was used very successfully during the World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for three seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
