The Front Room Five: five football fans with a near pathological inability to agree with each other. Follow their “debates”, their joy, their anguish and their betting strategies here, on our tv spots, on twitter and on facebook.

  • Smiley

    Smiley - @frontroomsmiley

    It was all or bust for Smiley last week, as he stuck £100 on a seven-fold in a bid to snatch the title. His brave move backfired, meaning that Robbie has a chance of sneaking past him to claim third.

  • Mike

    Mike - @frontroommike

    The Spurs fan ended a season that surpassed all expectations by winning the Betting League title. And just when he thought things couldn’t get any better, it looks like Cesc Fabregas is leaving Arsenal.

  • Robbie

    Robbie - @frontroomrobbie

    The Front Room’s Gooner has set his sights on leapfrogging Smiley for third. To do so, he is in need of another successful score punt, with his final bet being that Inter Milan will beat Bayern Munich 2-1.

  • Toby

    Toby - @frontroomtoby

    The Goliath strategy ultimately didn’t pay off for the Stokey in his bid to avoid the wooden spoon, but he won’t be too disheartened by his season’s work – he still goes home with a tidy £1550.41 profit.

  • Scouse

    Scouse - @frontroomscouse

    It’s impossible not to feel a hint of sympathy for Scouse who, after leading the Betting League title race throughout the run-in, was pipped on the final weekend by the persistent multiple king Mike.
