Football FanCast columnist Mug Punter cannot understand the reaction to his Nicklas Bendtner article last week and feels the need to respond. I was wrong Bendtner is class - No he ain't - Given the vast majority of responses to last week's article I would be insane to believe that Bendtner is nothing short of a footballing genius in the making, world domination on the footballing…

Mug Punter Morris fails to understand why Wenger continually puts faith in Nicklas Bendtner. Not particularly topical as this appears to be an ongoing joke among a lot of people but why is Nicklas Bendtner an Arsenal player. Game after game in which I see him feature, I can find very little enthusiasm for making a case in his favour to continue to…

I personally don't even consider this a debate as I am so confident of the outcome my prediction make's Nostradamus's quatrain's look like the scribbling of a deluded mad man - some might legitimately argue this to be the case regardless. Has England any hope of winning the 2010 world cup? Okay in qualification so far, so good, 4 games played,…

Was all set this week to debate whether or not club's being bought out by rich 'soccer' lovers was a good thing, had reasonable arguments either way calculated in my head....then it happened. As I came out of the newsagents after buying a paper to get change for the parking ticket machine (came out of the bookies after placing a bet), this two bob,…

After another disappointing week at the bookies, Mug Punter Morris goes back to basics and is sure that this weekend's action will provide better results.   First of all, last week's bets. Draw no bet patent on West Brom, Bolton, and Stoke. Nice idea, but realistically a good payout was unlikely…

After taking a whacking at the bookies last week, after City's shock exit at the hands of Forest, Mug Punter Morris is convinced that his luck may be about to change and this week has decided to cover all bases in hope of a return.     Well that was interesting.…

Mug Punter Morris likes nothing more than the FA Cup 3rd and has picked out an accumulator that will hopefully give his coffers a much welcome boost after the bashing he received before Christmas.   The financial kicking I received from the weekend before Christmas' results unfortunately set me up for a bleak festive period I'm afraid to say. Brussel sprouts were hastily being wrapped to…

Mug Punter was back to his losing ways last week and is banking on this treble to bring some much needed festive cheer into the Morris household. Who saw that coming? All of the top 4 teams in the league drawing their respective matches last weekend. Needless to say I didn't (why do people say needless to say…

After finally wiping the smile off Willy Hill's face last week and bringing in some much needed funds to the Morris' family coffers, Mug Punter has his eyes on another win double this weekend as he aims for two in a row. Finally a winner worth celebrating! Just when I was wisely thinking about throwing in the towel the treble…

Mug Punter Morris hopes that Aston Villa and Liverpool will come up trumps so he can wipe that smile off Willy Hill's face. You ever been on a bandwagon and thought this ride is a bit too bumpy for me. In a moment of apparent clarity you dive out the open back trailor and after several Hollywood rolls you…
