Mirror Football Launches iPhone App!

Fresh from launching their brand new website, Mirrorfootball.co.uk has this week entered the mobile market with the launch of it’s new iPhone app. Now all football fans can benefit from their news and views from hard hitting columnists, including respected Arsenal fan and journalist John Cross.

The launch of the app, which will have a one-off price of £1.19, will bring the Mirror’s specialist, standalone football website to a new audience of iPhone users. Building on the success of the Mirrorfootball.co.uk website, the app allows users to personalise their homepage with a bookmark for their chosen Premier League club.

It will also offer extensive photo and video-led content, club-specific news and live match-trackers for up-to-the-minute results. As well as having instant access to a 24/7 news service and a wealth of exclusive daily opinion pieces from some of the best writers and names in the game, users will also be able to comment on articles, send them on to friends and publish to Twitter and Facebook.

Rick Gleave, Head of Interactive and Mobile, Trinity Mirror, said: “We’re really excited to be launching our Mirror Football App. It condenses Mirrorfootball.co.uk’s extensive content into what will work best for consumption on iPhone or iPod touch and it offers users a level of interactivity around video, social media, comments and wealth of content that competitors’ apps simply can’t match.”

Super Bowl Betting

The Super Bowl XLIV may be a few weeks away, but that hasn’t stopped people from going nuts when it comes to precognitive Super Bowl betting action. One team that is getting some major love is the +800 Minnesota Vikings who have a first week bye, and perhaps one of the most balanced teams in the league. Ranking second in the league with 29.4 points per game, and 19th overall with 19.5 points allowed on average makes them heavy favorites. Of course, those of you that have undying faith will rally behind Brett Favre who has been a Super Bowl betting favorite in the playoffs many times.
