World Cup Qualifiers
Dangerous Work
Eduardo Lara's new job as Colombia boss got off to a bad start losing to Paraguay 1 - 0, but it's a bit early to say he's heading down the Andres Escobar route. A bit too much? Well, it is Colombia! While there's no pressure on the manager yet, goalkeeper Agustin Julio received some criticism for his display when he was caught out of position to concede the only goal of the game. Although Lara insisted he was "not in a good mood" he was adamant the keeper would start against Brazil. The player had been dubbed "St. Agustin" but the coach said that the media were not "entitled to crucify him for his performance." Er...a literal warning? Smell the Colombian coffee, back Brazil to win 4 – 0! Thurs 2am SS1
Portugal Masters Betting
Putt It In Perspective
While Padraig Harrington is in Bermuda topping up his tan, lowering his cholesterol and collecting ladybirds, Robert Karlsson can give himself a healthy advantage over the Irishman in the European Order of Merit with a win at the Portugal Masters on the Algarve. The Swede's victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links has put him in contention to take the crown as Europe's best golfer, but the 6 foot 5 inch golfer would gladly swap the Harry Vardon Trophy for a Major title. "If things go my way I will still rate Padraig's year as higher than mine because he's won two Majors, so there's not much doubt who is the best player this year." Can Karlsson master the course at Vilamoura to win his third Tour title this season? Thurs 7am SS1

Right On Cue!
"At 1-0 and 2-0 everyone must be thinking I wanted to go home," Ronnie O'Sullivan accurately described what most people were thinking when he was losing to Liang Wenbo at the Royal London Watches GP. Luckily, the Englishman didn't offer "had enough of it, mate" like against Stephen Hendry at the UK Championship and fought back to beat the Chinese player 5 – 2 in the first round. Not surprisingly the world number one wasn't happy with his performance. "It was embarrassing; my shots were amazingly off target. I hate losing, I'm stubborn. It still bothers me when I play like that," he said, indicating he can only get better at the event in Scotland. Back Ronnie to beat Marco Fu 5 – 0 and you could pocket some real cash!

Budget 2009 Betting
The Economic Model
Drinking, smoking, gambling, leaving the country and earning money. With Brian Lenihan taking aim at pretty much everything we enjoy, we suppose we can be thankful that he stopped short of introducing a tax on sitting on the sofa in our pants watching Football Focus. Possibly because they think an economist is someone who spends all day between women's legs, the Irish Sun recruited their resident boobs and brains to comment on Budget 2009. Page 3 girl, Claire Tully surmises that "this country needs a Robin Hood" which proves once and for all that this economic mumbo-jumbo clearly goes way over our heads because we've no idea what Kevin Costner could do to help. Will the measures save the country from going bust? Budget Betting
China Grand Prix Odds
The Tension is Pal-pable
Who needs friends when you've got enemies like Robert Kubica? Described once as Lewis Hamilton's best mate, the Polish driver has joined a long list of people who have criticised the 23 year old for his "dangerous" driving this season. Speaking about Hamilton's overtaking manoeuvres recently, he consulted the 'Fernando Alonso Guide to Annoying the Englishman' and said, "What he does is too much and dangerous. It was a topic in the drivers' meetings and most of them had a similar view. But at the end we can only talk. If someone is convinced they're allowed to do it, then we don't have any influence." If Kubica can win the China GP, he’s in with a real chance to Rob the Drivers' Championship from Hamilton and Massa. Sun 5.30am ITV/Set.

Keeping Cuell
Taking time out from his busy schedule keeping James Milner company on the Aston Villa bench and impersonating Jaws from the James Bond movie Moonraker, defender Carlos Cuéllar is quite content at his new club. Despite his limited appearances, the former Rangers star is quite happy with life in Birmingham. "It is not only the city that has surprised me, as we Spaniards tend to think that England is a land of only rain and fog, and quite grey. Look at the women!" he said, trying to force his way into the team by complimenting the locals. It may have worked with O'Neill claiming that the player could be used against Portsmouth.

X Factor Betting
Unbearable
While it's easy to remember Leona Lewis as a winner of X-Factor due to the fact she actually has talent, identifying those who won the reality TV show only to disappear onto some Z-list celebrity programme on Bravo is a little more difficult. Possibly in coordination with the beginning of the new live show, inaugural winner Steve Brookstein decided to thank the show for turning him into a star. Ok, replace the word 'thank' with 'complain about' and 'star' with 'not even a Z list celebrity'. "It is sad that there are going to be people who are going to be publicly humiliated. X-Factor is a form of bear-baiting," 2004 contestant said, giving a polite, but very accurate description of the show. Who'll beat the opposition and win this year's X Factor?
