Paddy Power Special – 4/1 for Giroud to Score Anytime or 5/1 for Podolski to Score Anytime

Paddy Power have an eye on this afternoon’s FA Cup Final at Wembley and roll out a tempting offer for those yet to register an account. As Arsenal and Hull City go head-to-head for the silverware, our bookmaker mates are offering odds of 4/1 on Olivier Giroud to score anytime or 5/1 on Lukas Podolski to score anytime for Arsene Wenger’s favourites:

Given that the regular odds on those bets are 10/11 and 6/4, the punts look decent – Giroud has scored three times, whilst Podolski has notched on four occasions over the same period. Click here for more details.

If you already have an account with Paddy, though, you can still take advantage of a Money Back Special for today’s game. Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match as a free bet if Mesut Ozil scores anytime in 90 minutes.

To clarify, both the Giroud and Podolski enhanced odds special is limited to a £10 stake, open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified. New customers can only opt for one of the two offers.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

              Don't see the issue, paddy power has always used outrageous advertising which clearly works getting people talking. But the full point of betting is beating the bookie and making money of them. If you thot u were going to lose therefore supporting the bookie, y would you bet in the first place? Strange

      what you'll need: 3 or 4 people and a woman in a stretchy top.
      pick ball out of cage and pretend you're just inspecting it, drop to floor and control berbatov style to kill it without making a bounce noise. line up people in a line towards the door, stealth backheels all round until you get to woman at he door, she chips it up and quickly put the ball under the loose fitting top feigning pregnancy. walk out like nothing happened

      Scholes obviously a better player technically.
      Gerrard with great set piece delivery and free kicks / penalties.
      I'd probably side with Scholes for title-winning pedigree, but not by too much.

          The cup final kick off used to be 3. They moved it to 5.15 to 'attract' more tv viewers, for fans this only means the travel home (especially in the North) is now a nightmare.

          Again i would love to see the tv numbers as it would be interesting to compare them with this year when there is a competitor.

When signing players they often realise, even though unreal in diff league, they can't cut it in prem. season out on loan would soon find out and give them same experience without the risk. Also if they have clause saying can't play against parent club then it strengthens opponents against ther competitors. Should be done a lot more

    Afternoon guys and gals. Now we have the details of the 'agreed settlements' reached between UEFA and Man City, Do we think that FFP has proved a worthy deterrent? No bans despite many teams breaking the rules. Or has this years increase in TV revenue, in the UK, made it less to worry about for a couple of years?

      I think that maybe it will gather a bit more pace as it goes. These are still early days of sanctions etc. as FFP grows they may look to start bring in heavier sanctions. So these next couple of seasons are probably a slap on the wrist.

      I hope anyways...

        I sure hope so too. They spent a couple of years working with teams and explaining everything so there could be no doubt. Will it stunt City's plans to push more for the CL now though? It doesn't appear so. Aside from the 21 player limit nothing looks too upsetting to them. Fioning people who overspead doesn't seem to make sense to me! It's starting to look like just a way to fill UEFA's coffers.

          Aye I do hope the sanctions will become more severe. The 21 man team doesn't matter, City only brought 23 for the CL and they only used 21 anyway. I agree, it aids UEFA big time. But maybe we'll see it develop over the next few seasons.

            The only difference that makes is about how many 'home grown' players they must have in the squad. I don't want to see anyone banned but they spent years demanding everyone meet their criteria and then letting them off easy, in my eyes at least.
