Crystal Palace 2-2 Aston Villa

For those of you too busy smearing margarine into your lover’s hungry buttocks, or pushing big juicy strawberries into your naked boy/girlfriend’s mouth to find time for something as unsensual as a football match, above are the highlight’s from Villa’s Valentine date with Crystal Palace.

“Fuggedaboudit!”

If you’re planning on visiting another country - perhaps to live for a while, or just for a nice holiday - it’s a good idea to do some research. Find out the best places to eat, learn a few local phrases, read up on dress codes. And then delve into murkier waters, and have a look at the people and places to avoid.

For example, if you’re going to America, avoid bearded men in truckers caps. In Russia, look for neck tattoos, then run away. And if you’re in Italy, it’s probably a good idea to stay on the right side of the mafia. You’ll spot them, because they laugh a lot, then suddenly go silent.

All of which leads rather clumsily onto Jose Mourinho, whose Italian adventure has been rather smudged by a mafia-linked almost-robbery on his house.

Crystal Palace are 13/8 on Betfair to produce a minor upset in the FA Cup by beating Premier League Wolves a week after entering administration. Here’s why we’re backing them…

1. Wolves haven’t covered themselves in glory of late. They’ve won just one of their last seven matches and that was a slender 1-0 triumph away to League One strugglers Tranmere.
2. Mick McCarthy is likely to play a weakened team. His side were lucky

With Anderson feeling a little unloved and disgruntled, here’s Pat Benatar expressing similar feelings via the medium of both music and synchronised dance moves in some kind of brothel! At least she ”gets” his pain.

Neil Webb sells his prized possession

Midfielder Neil Webb joined Manchester Utd in 1989, and spent two-and-a-half seasons at Old Trafford before rejoining Nottingham Forest. While with the Red Devils, he won the League Cup and UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, and set up the winner in the 1990 FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.

Since hanging up his boots in 1997, the 46-year-old has worked as a programme seller at the Madejski Stadium, a postman and a forklift truck operator. He has auctioned off much of the memorabilia from his career to raise extra cash, and his FA Cup winners’ medal will go under the hammer next week with an estimated price of £8,000-£10,000.

Webb, who obviously holds little regard for nostalgia, said:

“I don’t want my lads (he has two sons) to fight over them and this way they get to enjoy the benefits of them now. It’s obviously a very hard thing for me to do as they mean a lot to me, but I have got the DVDs of all the games I was involved in. The medals are great fun to have, but it’s time to let other people get enjoyment from them as well.”

If you fancy owning a medal that you didn’t earn, head to Cameo Auctioneers in Midgham next Tuesday. You ought not to have too much competition - the same medal was expected to reach £6,000 at auction in London last year, but it failed to reach its reserve price.
