Arsenal and AC Milan will meet on Wednesday in what seems to be the pick of the Round of 16 matches in the Champions League. What makes it more appealing is the very light odds of 3/1 on Arsenal to win in Milan.

Redknapp 4/11 F to be England Manager

Harry Redknapp is clearly front runner to become the next England manager.

Much more concerning than an inability to get down the shops has been the cancelation of all the quality jumps racings, including a card at Towcester that I had booked a day off to watch.… Read More…
