Friday's Racing
We've quite an eclectic assortment of celebrity birthdays today and we couldn't quite decide who was deserving of Paddy Power's homage. So we'll just put them in a list to fill this space and you can make the decision on our behalf. Coleen Nolan, Pete Doherty, Tammy Duckworth (no relation to Jack), Darryl Strawberry and... er... Ron Jeremy will all be blowing out candles on cakes this afternoon. Stan Van Gundy will bet getting a few unwelcome cards too. Unless you know anything about basketball, that joke has gone about five miles over your head. Talking of big lists, we've also got a bumper day of quality racing action from Ayr, Leicester, Sandown, Wincanton, Wolverhampton and Dundalk! Don't forget, we pay out on disqualified winners and official result on all UK & Ireland races.

They Talk The Talk
It's nice to win the 6 Nations Under 20s Championship, but the main function of underage teams is to produce a generation of players who will slot easily into the senior team. We're not sure if their playing ability can live up to that, but purely in terms of uninteresting banalities, the Wales U20s wouldn't look out of place at the highest level judging by their previews of the match with the Ireland U20s. "They're going to a physical challenge, especially on their home patch. They won't want to lose," revealed Macauley Cook whilst team-mate, Morgan Allen was equally enlightening with his assertion "going over there is never easy, it should be interesting." Both sides had good wins last time out, but who'll have the final say in Athlone? Fri. 7.35pm BBC Wales/Interactive & RTE2/.ie

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

Dead and Buried?
In most cases, Jose Mourinho manages to rub people up the wrong way and we don't mean that in a 'how your dog might greet a guest in your house' kind of way. Down Fido! Italians particularly don't find him endearing and that's not very helpful given that he manages Inter Milan. Pietro Lo Monaco, a director at Catania, reckons he'll give the Portuguese coach a good send off when he leaves Europe's boot. "I must say he has attracted widespread ridicule from the people. If Mourinho leaves at the end of the season we are ready to plan his funeral," he said, with just a hint of Don Corleone in his voice, before not adding "he'll be sleeping with the fishes." For Piet's sake don't miss backing Inter to beat Catania! Fri 7.45pm ESPN/PPTV

A Puzzling Cite
Nuef-onze was an inside job! Le lune landings were faked! That's never Bruce Forsyth’s real cheveux! The conspiracy theories were flying around Perpignan thick and fast during the week after news broke that Gregory Le Corvec is to be cited for alleged eye area contact in a game last weekend. The absence of video evidence and the fact Le Corvec had his nose broken on TV from a punch early in the game has irked the Top 14 champions. Spokesperson for the club, Paul Goze went to town with his accusations. "We have the distinct impression that we are not been treated as other teams. We will use every means in our power to fight against this farce and the bias involved," he said, not holding back. Could Biarritz conspire to claim a surprise win in Catalonia? Fri. 7.45pm Set.
