Wednesday's Racing
A lack of celeb birthdays – is Bruno Tonioli a celebrity? - means we're taking the unusual, possibly libellous and no doubt offensive step of looking to politics for our padding out of the horse racing story. Former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy is blowing out the candles on his cake today. We're not quite sure how he'll celebrate the fact he's reached a half a century, but we're sure his kidneys will have a say in the matter. Maybe some Wine Gums. There's some top quality action brewing at today's racing from Chepstow, Kempton, Lingfield, Wetherby and Dundalk. Don't forget, we also pay out on disqualified winners and official result on all UK & Ireland races. Naas has been abandoned
CSKA Moscow v Wolfsburg
I Mos-Go
From a man who paid £28.1m for Veron, £30m for Ferdinand, £18.6m for Carrick, £31m for Berbatov and any amount of money for Kleberson, it's a bit rich to hear Alex Ferguson having a whinge about the inflated price of players. Fergie is reported to have baulked at the £25m asking price CSKA have slapped on the head of their highly rated keeper Igor Akinfeev, who has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford. Valued closer to £14m by the Man United boss, Akinfeev might have to go a little Ben Foster to bring the price down before January. CSKA need to win at home to stay in this year's Champions League while they're looking unlikely to qualify for next year's competition. Will Akinfeev show why Fergie is interested or will he have a howler against Wolfsburg? Wed 5.30pm SS2.

Hot Air From A Gael?
After getting Peter Kenyon the sack and enduring two months of his four month ban, Gael Kakuta was repaid with a debut appearance in the Chelsea first team. While Carlo Ancelotti was quick to slap him on the back for his display against Wolves and commend Chelsea's policy of rounding up Europe's best players so no one else could have them, the young Frenchman displayed the kind of ego we come to expect from Premier League footballers. Asked whether it was easier playing in the senior side than the reserves, he said, "Yes, because the game is much quicker, you have more choice when you play, you can play one touch, two touch, so it is much better." The 18 year old could be in the squad to face Porto, but will he kut it in the Champions League? Wed 7.45pm SS2

Un-Phoceen Circumstances
As expected, Real Madrid and AC Milan occupy the top two spots in their group, unexpectedly though, with only two games remaining, both Zurich and Marseille can still qualify. "Nothing is impossible," Les Phoceens midfielder Fabrice Abriel declared ahead of their trip to the San Siro. "To win would be a good option...The key is to show the same face and self-sacrifice [as we did against PSG]....We will not pass through this event," he added in that weird esoteric way which suggests the original version of the interview has been translated by a German with little English and a dog-earred French-English dictionary. It's definitely English, just not quite as we know it. Abriel expresses himself better on the pitch but will a good performance translate into a big win for Marseille? 7.45pm SSi

A Change Of Hart
Portsmouth's position in the Premier League coupled with Kevin-Prince Boateng's inability to take a penalty has led to manager Paul Hart getting the sack. Not beating Stoke was the final straw for the board as they dismissed the man who rescued them from relegation last season. Whoever replaces Hart won't be signing Amir Zaki or any other Egyptians for that matter, we reckon; "Joining Portsmouth is no longer an option for me. After Portsmouth signed an Israeli player and also hired an Israeli football director a possible move was ruled out. On top of that, no way could I play at Portsmouth with an Algerian within in their ranks." And they're crap, Zaki forgot to add. Follow you Hart and back Avram Grant to take the reins at Fratton Park! Next Portsmouth Manager
WGC World Cup
Mission Statement
Unlike, say, baseball's World Series, this week's WGC World Cup tournament at Mission Hills in China is actually open to every golf playing nation in the world. It's just that very few top players are bothered playing in it, so much like their steroid filled, cork-filled bat wielding fellow sportsmen, the claim that the winners of this event are legitimate world champions, has all the credibility of Ian Poulter's stylist. However, most countries have at least tried to assemble a respectable pairing, and, though Padraig Harrington is absent, Ireland's McIlroy and McDowell are strongly fancied to lift the title. England, without Europe's number 1, are top of the list but unfortunately victory in this World Cup won't bring an end to 43 years of hurt....and bloody moaning about it.

Nad A Chance!!
Having been the first man to make Roger Federer cry without using physical violence, Rafael Nadal probably thought he was going to be world number one for quite some time after the Australian Open. 11 months, a shrinking left arm and a dodgy knee injury later, the Spaniard is far from his best. Pre-World Tour Finals optimism has been quickly replaced by gloom after defeat to Robin Soderling in his first match. He's apparently so weak now the 23 year old can barely pick his thong out of his bum-crack. "In the important moments I didn't have the necessary calm," Nadal said trying to explain the loss. "I'm not playing well enough to be No.1 right now." It's Nad hard to see why Davydenko is favourite to beat him! Tues. 8.45pm SS1 & & pp.com (Irl. only)– Tennis Betting

Inie' Dreams
The image most people have of Blackburn's David Dunn is of him falling on his arse while attempting a not particularly difficult trick. Cheers Sky Sports. Of course we know he's a far better player than that five second clip suggests but we're not sure he's quite as good as team-mate Ryan Nelsen would have us believe. "I am not joking about him - I know how good he is. When he is on the field and playing consistently, there is no better player to watch. He is so smooth in his movement and on the ball...He's like an Iniesta," said Nelsen, in a Brokeback Mountain kind of way. Despite his recent good form, Dunn is not expecting a call from Fabio Capello. He may get a few late night ones from Nelsen though. Will Dunn inspire Rovers or will it be Black's to the wall against Fulham? Wed 8pm
