The regular season may be still another four and half months away and the newly drafted rookies have barely been fitted into their new kits but Vegas never sleeps and the new season totals have been posted for those wanting to get in early - though not many British firms, if any, have priced up yet. Anyway, here in Conference and Division order are the totals for all 32 teams.... more

The relegation battle in the Premier League makes fascinating viewing, ramped up to the max by those media savvy lot at Sky Sports, where even the mere thought of going out of the ‘Big League’ is something to wring your hands and despair about but, lets not forget, those who will ultimately take the drop are clubs who have had millions at their disposal all season and, anyway, if they do go down they go with a huge parachute payment, ..... more

SUNDERLAND vs. NORWICH Could Sunderland be the one, there is always one club that slides from, seemingly, mid-table safety right into the relegation fight on the back of a horrible slump. The Black Cats looked to have done enough when they won five from eight in the league but since that good run they have picked up just two points from their last six games, they are still currently six points above the drop zone but they are in desperate form.... more

Football

EVERTON vs. MAN CITY The big question surrounding this game is how Everton react to last weeks mauling at home to Wigan that ended their quest for silverware for another season. It was an unexpected defeat and leaves them with just a place in the Europa League left to play for and whether that is motivation enough for Moyes and his squad remains to be seen.... more

FA CUP QUARTER FINALS EVERTON vs. WIGAN Everton are heavily favoured to reach the semi-finals and it’s not hard to see why if you take a look at their home record. Just one defeat, by Chelsea, in their last twenty-two home games in all comps. In that run they have fourteen victories with three of the last four being home wins and they have knocked in eleven goals in those last four matches.... more

Football

JUVENTUS vs. CELTIC This looks a bit of a dead duck in terms of qualification, no way will Celtic turn the 3-0 deficit around, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some value about. Juventus have won eight of their last twelve home games in all comps with only Sampdoria winning there. They are one of only three teams this season who remain unbeaten in the CL.... more

Football

BORUSSIA DORTMUND vs. SHAKHTAR DONETSK This is Dortmund’s season in all effect, Bayern Munich have seen to that, but the good news is that Dortmund are doing very nicely in this competition this season. The Germans are one of only three teams to remain unbeaten in this years CL and with a draw from the first leg and a dominant home record in front of a massive, passionate crowd they look good things to reach the quarter finals.... more

Sorry this is in two parts but circumstances and all that but hopefully we can grab a few winners along the way. STOKE vs. WEST HAM For some reason the Stoke City season has gone right off the rails of late and have now won just once in eight league games and they lost six of those matches and although they are unlikely to be sucked into the relegation dogfight their form must be a worry.... more

Football

CHELSEA vs. WEST BROM Chelsea still seem to be a club full of turmoil despite reaching the FA Cup quarter finals in midweek. They are back to the league where results have been patchy to say the least of late. They have not won back to back league games since the turn of the year and have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3 times in 2013 so far.... more

Football

AC MILAN vs. BARCELONA Milan are not what they once were its fair to say but they still find themselves in the knockout stages of the CL and face an opponent they have become familiar with of late. Milan have really picked things up in the league of late and have only been beaten twice in their last 17 Serie A games, they were victorious in 11 of those matches.... more

ARSENAL vs. BAYERN MUNICH Well, this is last chance saloon if Arsenal are going to collect any silverware for their barren trophy room this season and they look to have a huge task ahead of them. After going out of the two domestic Cups to Bradford and Blackburn respectively the prospect of facing Bayern Munich cannot be something most Arsenal fans are looking forward to.... more

SHAKHTAR DONETSK vs. BORUSSIA DORTMUND Shakhtar will be well rested if nothing else as they prepare to entertain Dortmund in their first competitive game since meeting Juventus in the final group game of the CL way back at the beginning of December, they have had to spend the time since playing a steady diet of friendlies in Spain and the UAE.... more

Football

CELTIC vs. JUVENTUS Interestingly both sides top their domestic table with 55 points and while Celtic will romp home in their league, Juve have just a 5 point lead and that tells us a lot about the relative strengths of the opposition usually faced. This is the Champions League though and much to many peoples surprise Celtic are here and ready to put the frighteners on all comers.... more

SKY SUPER SUNDAY NBA DOUBLE BILL Basketball may not be everybody’s idea of Super Sunday but come on, Aston Villa vs. West Ham or Miami against the Lakers?? Anyway, Sky’s coverage of the NFL has finished for another season and basketball takes it’s place just as the season nears the half-way point and the All-Star is nearly upon us.... more

PREMIER LEAGUE - PREVIEWS & PICKS - SATURDAY QPR vs. NORWICH Maybe not the most glamorous game to get the weekend PL football underway but it does look an intriguing little encounter nonetheless.

PREMIER LEAGUE - PREVIEWS & PICKS - SUNDAY & MONDAY CHELSEA vs ARSENAL Two high class teams but two which are struggling for consistency at the moment and maybe two managers who are under just a little bit of pressure. Chelsea have been doing fine away from home, rattling off a string of victories, but of late their home form has left a bit to be desired.... more

SUNDAYS GAMES MUNSTER vs. RACING METRO Munster will have to go for points, only a try bonus point win will be enough after Saturdays results where the French outfit Montpellier shocked Toulon and Leinster grabbed a try bonus win at Exeter. Munster have a very strong home record with just two defeats at Thomond Park so far this season.... more
