Football

Apologies for no tips yesterday, especially I would have advised you to join me in tipping Christine Ohourougu, and as we were tripped up by Lolo Jones' stumble. But with Usain easing his way to 200m victory and the crazy situation of no racing in Britain this afternoon - it is the middle of bloody August!!!!! - that only leaves me with the football tonight.

8.00 England win to nil 6/4 (LOST -3.98 - What an appalling performance. No better than under MacLaren)
Fabio Capello's England havent exactly been thrilling to watch, but they have stopped leaking goals. The last three games have been 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 and while I dont expect that series to continue, I do expect captaincy rivals Terry and Ferdinand to keep the door firmly closed to Milan Baros. Expect England to win, as they do against most middling nations at Wembley, and so 1-0 or 2-0 have to be the scores to watch. You could back them each, but just in case the Czechs give up in the second half I'll go with a win to nil with Skybet, Paddy, or Ladbrokes.
