Football: The Sweeper - The price is right

SWEEPER'S PUSH FOR PROMOTION

WHAT A dilemma. It's going to be hard to know who to root for in the Uefa Cup Final in Moscow next month. Should The Price Is Right cheer on Parma (the 1-2 favourites we've backed at "Burlington Bertie" 100-30) or Marseilles (the 6-4 underdogs we've backed at 7-1)? Easy money. Things are admittedly somewhat more clear-cut in the European Cup final. Manchester United (the 4-6 favourites we've backed at 9-2) have simply got to beat Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp while, in the Cup-Winners' Cup final at Villa Park, Lazio (the 1-2 favourites we've backed at 6-4) must beat Real Mallorca. Meanwhile, despite last week's reverse, we reckon we're pulling into Draw Central again this week-end so we're going for a big trebles' spread with a fun four-timer thrown in to boot.
