Saturday's Racing
We're not paying homage to today's celebrity birthday boy mainly because he's not with us anymore. And while we'd say he's pushing up the daisies somewhere in the US, Tom Cruise would probably tell us a group of aliens took him to another planet in 1986. On this day in 1911 Scientologist founder L. Ron Hubbard was born and thus began a series of events that would culminate in Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's sofa. Have faith in your selections and bet on the action from Ayr, Chepstow, Sandown, Wolverhampton and Limerick! Don't forget, we also pay out on disqualified winners and official result on all UK & Ireland races.

Hull v Arsenal Betting
By George
Possibly in attempt to take the attention away from the ridiculous hat Phil Brown wore at Goodison Park last weekend, Nicky Barmby and Jimmy Bullard have been involved in an altercation at training. The absence of Joey Barton's name from that sentence means we're not expecting a court case to ensue and their manager has apologised. Apparently some women witnessed the unsavoury fracas and Phil felt an apology was required. Midfielder George Boateng was quick to offer his apologies too. "I'm sorry because I missed it, I wasn't there. I would have paid to watch it", he said, not realising you can tune into midget wrestling on YouTube for free. Hull have a fight on their hands to stay up and a point at home to Arsenal would be priceless. Sat 5.30pm ESPN

The Future's Bleak?
As seems to be the fashion of the day, we're going to do very little talking about football in this story involving a Chelsea player. This time we're focussing on the private life of Frank Lampard. Lamps has been very coy about his budding relationship with a One Show presenter. If that presenter was Adrian Chiles, then maybe we'd understand, but as his current beau is Christine Bleakley, it's a bit harder to fathom. Only a sneaky reflection in a window revealed something was going on between the pair and after Frank described himself as single last month, Ms. Bleakley was less than impressed and demanded more commitment. Could Frank get One over on his old club by bagging 2 or more goals @ 11/2 against West Ham? Sat. 3pm Set. Irl – Premier League Betting

6 Nations Betting
Blocking Horns
Be on the lookout for Jonny Wilkinson trying any of his infamous play action fakes at Murrayfield this weekend. And watch out for encroachment on the line of scrimmage while you're at it. No, we don't know what we're talking about either, but Andy Robinson must because he's accused England of using tactics more akin to the NFL than the 6 Nations. Cheating basically. He says the Sweet Chariot has the strange habit of getting in the way and blocking opposition players from making tackles so he wants the ref to be extra vigilant. "We need the referee to be aware of those players who are casually running in front of our players, a bit like American Football," he snitched in advance. Will Scotland be the receivers of the Calcutta Cup by claiming victory? 5pm BBC1 & RTE2
6 Nations Odds
Court Wanting?
So Declan, is there anything you'd like to say to France? "Well, I wish them all the best and they do good cheese." Sadly there was no Keegan-esque "I'll tell you what, we're still fighting for this title" breakdown from Declan Kidney after he saw his Ireland side bounce back from a hammering in Paris with a pulsating win in Twickenham. He has rarely put a foot wrong since taking the helm, but Kidney's mind-games need some work because although Ireland have a chance of defending the 6 Nations Championship, the coach didn't of heap the pressure on the French. "The ball is in France's court," was the summary, not exactly making the most of the nation's history of surrender. Les Bleus haven't always been the most reliable, so is it worth giving Ireland to win the 6 Nations @ 14/1 a try?
