Another Fine SMS ...
All the hard work had been done. After years of cultivation, months of preparation then several ingested drug-filled condoms and narrowly–avoided body cavity searches, a woman in Oklahoma was getting ready enjoy the fruits of all that illegal labour when she stuffed it all up. Possibly feeling a little hubristic/stoned, she texted a friend inviting her over to share in the stash, but some clumsy thumbwork meant Drug Task Force agent, Chris Counts received the message. After reading the SMS that went "if you want a hit of this stuff before it is all gone, you better get over here", Counts texted back to find out the address and not long after turned up at the house to arrest her.

Rangers v St. Mirren Odds
Cup There With The Greats
It's seldom that St. Mirren get to a national final and accordingly, captain John Potter is urging his team-mates to grab the rare chance to write their names in the history books. Granted those books would mainly be A Sporting History Of Renfrewshire: A Tale Of Not Much and the Minor Cups Almanac 2010, but he aspires to match the achievement of the Saints side that went all the way in the Scottish FA Cup back in 1987. "Around the stadium, the cup-winning team is always mentioned and even at dinners you always see the cup-winning team about," Potter said, playing up the local heroes carrot. Their league form wouldn't give you much hope, but if the Buddies were to shock Rangers in the CIS Cup Final, they'd become more than Mirr' mortals. Sun. 3pm BBC Scotland & Set. Irl

Dirty Treks
In the aftermath of their thumping at the hands of Fulham, all sorts of accusations and recriminations have been thrown around by Juventus players. Jonathan Zebina turned on the clubs own fans after claiming "30 thugs and racists" verbally abused him at Craven Cottage. "Some of them came to England, travelling thousands of kilometres just to chant those things," he said although that's not entirely true - some of them came for a go on the London Eye and a trip to Madame Tussauds as well. Zebina wasn't exactly zen-like in his response after giving the offenders a one finger salute as he left the field following his sending off. After that horrid night in London, Juv got to think Sampdoria have a great chance of beating the Old Lady. Sun. 7.45pm paddypower.com & ESPN – Serie A Matches

Leices Than Complimentary
Chris Coleman went to great lengths to stress how Leicester were a useful team and howthey fully deserve to be in and around the playoff places. But adopting the 'build them up just to knock them down' attitude, once the obligatory platitudes were out of the way, the Coventry manager felt the time was right to let his true opinion be known. "I don't think they are anything special in terms of playing in a special way and I mean that with no disrespect," surmised Coleman who seems to be a disciple of the 'adding a no disrespect to the end of a sentence negates the disrespect shown earlier in the sentence' school of thought. The Sky Blues are also in contention for the playoffs, but could do with a win at the Walkers’ Stadium to have a respectable chance of going up. Sun. 2pm BBC1

Defending My Hen-our
What is it about Thierry Henry's temperamental and self-centred (and while we're at it, let's not forget cheating) history that would lead to newspapers publishing stories suggesting he's unhappy at Barcelona? That's the question on the Frenchman's mind after a week in which rumours emerged about a disagreement with an unnamed colleague at the Camp Nou [N.B. the colleague has a name – it just wasn't given]. Henry refuted the claims by declaring "I have no problem with anyone here, not the coach, not with anyone. I want to stress this because sometimes I hear things that are quite painful" in that way where you know he's thinking he's all things to all men. With 7 goals scored this week, will Barca Theirr Real Zaragoza apart with ease? Sun. 8pm SS1 – La Liga Matches

Happily Ever Afters?
Why was Caroline Wozniacki's frank and open confession that she had gambled on her Indian Wells semi-final against Agnieszka Radwańska not jumped upon like every other allegation of impropriety in the sport? Well, firstly, they were betting on the match, but more specifically and crucially, betting on what time of day the match would be on at and second of all, the stakes didn't exactly bear the hallmarks of involvement from the Danish mafia. "She actually owes me an ice cream," explained the Dane who won the wager by correctly predicting a late start. If form doesn't desert her, Wozniacki has real hopes of beating Jelena Jankovic in the WTA Indian Wells final and claiming the biggest title of her career.

The Running Choke
Having had a good team for much of the naughties, the Gloucester trophy cabinet was left largely untouched for most of the decade. Their habit of getting themselves in strong positions and then not actually winning anything has seen them earn the dreaded 'chokers' label. Ahead of the LV= Cup Final against Northampton, coach Bryan Redpath is angry at the notion – angry and also in agreement. "The facts are there to show that we haven't won the big games. I agree," he said, before resorting to the classic schoolyard tactic of extending to the argument out to the point when all participants forget what they were arguing about or the school bell rings by adding "so what?". Will the Cherry and Whites show what's different about this version by beating the Saints? Sun. 3.30pm SS3
