2006 UK Football Betting Highlights
After an unexpectedly succesful first season in the Premiership, Wigan's dreams of capping it by lifting the Carling Cup were shattered by a 4-0 defeat in the final to Manchester United. They had lost earlier in the season at Old Trafford by the same scoreline. Smart UK football betting fans remembered that Paul Jewell, the Wigan Manager, had also lost to Manchester United away from home 4-0 during his time as manager of Bradford City. Needless to say, betting on the correct score with Blue Square gave a great return for people who bet on fooball online!
With Manchester United already out of the competition and several of the remaining big teams fielding weakened sides, who do you think will win the cup this year? Bet on foobtall and put your money where your mouth is - try UK football betting with Blue Square.
Jose Mourinho guided Roman Abramovich-powered Chelsea to their second successive Premiership title.This was largely due to their home form, winning 18 of their 19 games at Stamford Bridge. As the pre-season favourites, their title success delighted many UK football betting punters and those who bet on football with Blue Sqaure.
Manchester United's form throughout 2006 has made a third title much less of a certainty this time around, although there was less of an early season challenge from the other two of the 'big four', Arsenal and Liverpool, than had been expected.

Getting online and visiting BlueSq.com is the easiest way to keep up to date with the latest odds and bet on football your way.
Celtic won the SPL title after initial resistance from Hearts fell away, for which many blamed the antics of Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov, who sacked manager George Burley when they were top of the league. Unlike Chelsea, Celtic raced to a significant early season lead in a bid to retain their title. You are unlikely to find a price other than short odds on for Celtic to finish the job this season, even at the most generous of UK football betting bookmakers.

The 2006 FA Cup Final was one of the most entertaining ever. The underdogs West Ham went into an early 2-0 lead before Liverpool got back to 2-2; West Ham then regained the lead, only for Liverool favourite Steven Gerrard to equalise in the dying seconds of the game with a spectacular long range strike. Liverpool went on to win the match on penalties, mirroring their Champions' League Final win of the previous year.

The Community Shield gave Chelsea a chance to show off their two main summer signings, Michael Ballack and Andrey Schevchenko. While the former was substituted after less than half an hour, the latter went on to score. However Liverpool won the match 2-1, and Schevchenko failed to impress in subesquent games at the start of the season.
Will Schevchenko find his shooting boots and win the Premiership's Golden Boot this season? Will Chelsea beat Liverpool again next time they play?
