Magdelena Rybarikova took 7 months out from tennis as she recovered from surgery to her left wrist and right knee. She returned to competitive tennis in February ranked at number 200, slipping to 453...
Sam Querrey has the tools to upset Andy Murray a little but i expect the reigning champ to be lining up in the semi final. Gilles Muller played the best game of his life when beating Rafael Nadal in...
Marin Cilic 3-1 @ 13/5 Sam Querrey 3-1 @ 9/2 Tomas Berdych @ 7/2 Win singles, treble pays 88/1 and trixie returns almost 150/1 to unit stake - Skybet. Wouldn't be a total surprise were all 3 games to...
And before you ask, no i wouldn't bet on 2 flies walking up a wall:-) I only bet on sports i actually care about and watch. Nishikori, Tsonga and Murray should all progress to round 3 today, but they...
Not many of us would normally look to More 4 for really decent tv, but i can strongly recommend the new series 'Outlander' which begins tonight at 9pm. I have watched series 1 and 2 (series 3 is due...
It has to be said, whether you love him or hate him, Ed Milliband is making a very good fist of standing in for Jeremy Vine this week (almost typed 'Kyle' there!!). In my very humble opinion, he is as...
Sad, but absolutely brilliant. Actors must salivate when they get a part written by Jimmy McGovern. And he, in turn, must love writing for such talent.
Just read an email sent to me by an Agent Andrew G McCabe of the FBI, no less, informing me that 2 consignment boxes were intercepted at JFK Airport, NY. A scan revealed the boxes to contain large...
The format used to be quite simple to work out and plot a team's route to the final. Not now, not with this format. I mean, i have tried to work out who will probably play who in the knock-out stages...
Thought last night's episode was much better than last week's South African offering. Back on home soil, so to speak, Wallander battled his condition whilst solving yet another crime. Not the...
Whilst i thoroughly enjoyed the original Swedish version with sub-titles, i do think Ken Branagh does the role full justice. Shame this 3 part series is to be the last - but all good things come to an...
Some time ago, you posted about the view from the top of the Championship. Well, you were right! It is breath-taking. And, whilst i can't see France (as you claimed you could), now that we are...
Anyone watch the first episode of Hinterland over the weekend? Lots of people staring at other people with hardly a word spoken whilst they did. Took my pet snail, 'Slimeball', for a walk around the...
Excellent series with some great dialogue. And it is hard to remember that young Max Vento (who plays Joe) is only 6 years old. What a brilliant little actor he is.
Once again it's that time of the year when those nervous once-a-year punters descend upon the bookies with that rabbit-in-the-headlights look in their eyes, asking regular punters how to write their...
When some footballers are being bought and sold for £70m - £80m, an annual record profit of £30m may not seem a big deal. Yet to all those involved at Turf Moor, it is a massive achievement made...
Fairyhouse hosts the Irish Grand National today at 5pm and, as per usual, i have gone through the stats with a fine tooth comb. The stats range from 10/10 down to 6/10 (i.e. 10/10 winners had...
