Hopefully you all followed our advice and brought in Vidic for last week – as captain, he would have propelled you up your mini-leagues with a staggering 42 points in Fantasy Premier League (the only fantasy football game). Here are our picks for this weekend…

That may sound like a stupid question. But think about it. Personally (I’m 26) I’m glad England didn’t win the World Cup when I was younger (say 12, 16, 20). I don’t think I would have appreciated it properly, and it would have changed my perception of future tournaments; having already seen a victory, I [...]

That result was also a blow to Rafa Benitez, who desperately needed results to go his way to vindicate his outburst – they didn’t. Arsenal and Villa [...]
Here is the first in our series of ‘Heroes’ – figures from the wider world that we admire, respect, and sometimes actually love. The first is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – best known as the author of Sherlock Holmes, but also a forerunner to David James…
This is the week of the double header – with both Man Utd and Wigan playing twice, the former against Chelsea (a) and the latter against Tottenham (h) (both on Sunday, bafflingly) before they meet each other on Wednesday at Old Trafford. With 2 points for an appearence, a player from either of those sides playing in both matches will automatically gain 4 points, a solid enough week. Read on for the best options from those two sides…
Derby defied the odds to beat Man Utd 1-0 at Pride Park last night; widely available at 10-1, that was a missed trick. In all probability Utd will still qualify, with the second leg at Old Trafford; and will most likely meet Spurs, who beat Burnley 4-1 the night before.
