Balotelli sends Italy to World Cup Final - Beddows delight!
ITALY (3) ARGENTINA (0)
Balotelli sends the Doctor back to his tardis and makes amends with the Brazilian fans after Italy destroyed the host nations hopes of winning their own tournament… 2 strikes from Balotelli (and 1 from Florenzi) did it to make in 6 goals in 5 World Cup games as the incredible Italian striker leaps to the top of the Golden Boot charts…

| Balotelli shows the World his power after his 2nd goal sent Argentina crying |
The whole world is asking one question what does Beddows feed Balotelli, how did he get 30+ goals out of him this season and then this incredible return in the World Cup... when asked normally he always pushes away and rebuffs the question but tonight Beddows finally answered...
"A Mario io lo do la cosa che si serve - amore e credenza... prima di ogni, e lo dico ogni partita lo dico a lui... oggi Mario ho un sensazione che lo fai un gol... e lui lo fa... sempre! E come magica... in piu lo do a lui la responsbilita di fare tutti, calcio di punzione, rigore, tutto e fatto da lui!"

| Greg Billington of Malaga - A man who can't speak Spanish let alone French |
Leading bookmaker FrankBet have placed the French as firm favourites at 1/1000 tomorrow with Italy at 3/1 - a fact that Beddows quickly pounced upon -
"The odds clearly go to show that Frank is trying to make up for his mistreatment of Greg in Season 3 and I will be stunned if I win as im certain many brown envelopes have already passed hands..."
"I'm only speculating but Mattia De Sciglio told me that Andrea Barzagli had told him that Giacomo Bonadventura had seen a number of dead partridge's arrive at the French hotel when there are whispers that they have already prepared the pastry for a World Cup Winning Partridge Pie to celebrate..."
One thing is for certain if Italy upset the odds and the Gods tomorrow evening there wont be any partridge in the Italian dressing room - only glorious jugs and jugs of vino (and Birra Morretti)

Dortmund Season 3 Review
The turning appeared in a 3-0 success at Old Trafford, a defining moment Reynolds says in their season. "We had just come off the back of a 2-0 home defeat to Villarreal in the Top 100 Cup and confidence was low. The players were booed off and rightly so, our home form was suffering the players were feeling the pressure", Reynolds said.
Although form picked up that elusive league home win did not happen until their 6th home league game against Atletico Madrid. This was in the middle of winning run of 7 games which included Top 100 Shield, Youth Cup and World Club Cup. Dortmund had started to looked a side capable of playing at this level, which had yielded 11 wins out of 14 league games a run which took them well into the SMFA qualification places. Dortmund bowed of the Top 100 Shield though losing at home to Lazio.
Dortmund continued to do well in both World Club Cup and Youth Cup although the Youth Cup run was brought to an abrupt end as they fell foul of the laws failing to change team for the Celta Vigo tie. The World Club Cup was ended yet again by Bayern going down 2-1 in a spirited display.
Reynolds was asked can he build on this, "we have to. The 1st team squad needs to improve in terms of depth as we have the SMFA Shield too. The youth team needs a bit more quality if we can get it, so pre-season is very important"
Reynolds has set a managerial stipulation that he will walk away if this club does not make the top 10 which based on last season should look easy but many have failed to build on such a decent season before.
Brazil diventa blu... Beddows leads Italy to historic win over hosts WORLD CUP ROUND UP
With Roy Keane out surely Mr David Senior is now one of the favourites to life the famous old trophy.
Youth Cup Draw (Season 4)
Its that brilliant time again - time to watch Beddows do the draw for the group stage of the SM Top 100 Youth Cup.
Will Beddows get another plum draw? Will Keane moan its rigged? Will Frank actually get more than 3 points this season?
All will be revealed.
This is finally correct :)

My Incredible Life by nick wheels
My Incredible Life by Nick Wheels
Seeing that article by old 'pop around 'Parfitt the other day reminded me that I'd promised to jot down a few of my amazing experiences during my incredible life so far.
Well, where to start - well there's the film & tv career, thats as good a place as any.
Many of you T100 types won't be aware of my past life as an absolute megastar of the entertainment industry - but, I assure you I am.
Coaching Trip
It all started when I was called up for Coach Trip, yes yours truly on Britains greatest reality gameshow. It started off well, got on with most of the contestants, had a bit of banter with Brendan, sweet as. However during the pottery challenge I was on my way to making an exact replica of Dubai's Burg Khalifa when Brendan only came along & stuck his thumb in it! Well I went mental, put him in hospital & got myself a one way ticket back to blighty. Little did I know that this was the start of my incredible TV career.Career Peak
One Game of Thrones At A Time
The title gives this one away really but do you know, I was only supposed to have a small part in this TV epic and I ended up playing 3 roles! Getting Narcoffed off with this
A 'Pointless' Life
A sporting chance. bem-vindo a Portugal
A sporting chance. bem-vindo a Portugal
A look back to see where Sporting Lisbon and Fiorentina failed and a look ahead to next season.
Sporting Lisbon fans were jubilant when they heard of the appointment of top manager Mrmalcolm who replaced the Good Doctor Fox.
Locally we already see ourselves as the best Lisbon side and expect to swap places with rivals Benfica soon, we would love to test ourselves vs Porto.
Youth cup. We have a real chance this year, with plenty of young talent coming in .
Olympiacos Press Conference
Round Wheels house
Linder said it was only a friendly, so it doesn’t really matter. The fact is, it does matter, and we showed that bunch of cocksure cocky cockneys how to get the job done. Beating Palace 2 – 0, easy as pie. I’ve had more strenuous evenings at home reading my book. Friendlies don’t matter my arse.
Speaking of friendlies, it reminds me of this time I was around Nick Wheels house. I was in South America on business, meeting some associates of mine in Bogota. At the time, I was looking to get into acting, and I’d been offered a role in Trainspotting. They wanted me to play Begbie.
Well you know how it is, you get asked to play a role, you need to get into character. I was told what the film was about and threw myself in at the deep end. So that’s what I was doing. I had some of my kit, but nothing to cook any skag in. Where better for some help then, than the home of the Worlds biggest spoon collection.
I popped around to Wheels museum and house of fun, and cracked on. I’ll be honest, he was a little surprised to see me there, especially with the fella’s I’d got my gear from. He also said he’d have preferred if we had called ahead, or at the very least knocked on the door and waited for him to answer rather than entering with a scousers door key through the kitchen window.
Anyhow, me and my new buds were settling in and having a great time. And to be fair to old Wheelsey, he’s a cracking host. He didn’t want to get involved with the brown, said it’s not really his bag though. Some people like fine wine, some like aged Scotch. Some people like Havana cigars, others like skag. Mr Wheels though, he’s proper hardcore. He’s into sausage rolls. Not your basic common or garden ones though, oh no. He has cheese topped ones. He doesn’t just settle for a cheese topped sausage though. He gets stuck in with some condiment action as well. He covers them in brown sauce. I shit you not. HP all over the place. The sausage roll was wearing arm bands to make sure it didn’t drown in the stuff.
Of course he eats like a bleedin’ St Bernard too. Crumbs shooting here, there and everywhere. A couple of the lads I was with ended up shooting HP rather than their own brown as well. They were going feckin’ mental. Honestly, people were being clubbed around the back of the head, and skulls caved in. Possibly the most horrendous scene I’ve witnessed since I walked in on Nuno and Balboa with a rabbit, a blow up doll with Beddows face on it and a family sized jar of lube. What a sight that was, even DP and Frank would have been ashamed to have been caught in that little predicament.
Wheels himself was getting properly involved as well. He had shaped is sausage roll into a meaty pastry weapon and was slashing like Freddie Kruger on speed. The man was like a savage animal. Honestly, he was going more mental than a scene from Game of Thrones.
Anyhow, I didn’t get the role in Trainspotting in the end. I was that close that we even had the film posters produced, but at the last minute Irvine Welsh decided like a dick that he wanted a “proper actor” to play the role.
But I’ll tell you one more thing before I go, Nick Wheels is a mad keen collector of all sorts of stuff. Apart from spoons, he collects milk bottles, old Coco Pop’s boxes, Scalextric cars and Russian Dolls. Me though, I hate Russian Dolls. They’re so full of themselves.
