→ The 2014/15 season was Sergio Aguero's best ever for Fantasy returns. Seven of his goals/assists and 36 of his FPL points came in two meetings with which club that year?

Paddy Power Special – 8/1 for England to Win, 7/1 for Draw, 6/1 for Italy to Win

After Holland’s stunning 5-1 rout of defending champions Spain last night, Paddy Power are rolling out a tempting offer for those yet to register an account. With Roy Hodgson’s England set to face Italy in the 11pm kick-off, our bookmaker mates are offering odds of 8/1 for the Three Lions to triumph, 7/1 for a draw or 6/1 on Cesare Prandelli’s troops to open their campaign with a victory:

Given that the regular odds are 2/1, 2/1 and 7/4 respectively, this is clearly another great offer from Paddy. Click here to get involved.

Those who already have an account with Paddy can still take advantage of a Money Back Special on offer. Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match as a free bet if Italy win – found out more here.

To clarify, the England v Italy 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 three 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.

Things I learnt tonight:

1. The wing problem cost us. Rooney on the wing? Na.
2. Sterling is very exciting young player. But he needs Rodgers to work on him more. Still a little raw.
3. Paletta's mum needs to tell him to shave his hair off. He ain't kidding anyone. You're bald as a coot, mate.

  Done OK tonight - brave team selection with 4 attackers and created more than enough chances to have won the game.
  
  Problem is lack of options at the back - Baines poor, albeit decent going forward and neither CB are really enforcers or dominant.
  
  If they can attack a little quicker, reduce the touches and get ball into space v Uruguay they will win.
