United still favourites to win Champions League

Barcelona are trying their very best to play some Ferguson-style mind games in the press, claiming they are not as boring as United, and will expose their negative tactics. Despite the big talk from the under-fire Spaniards, the bookies believe Manchester Utd will rediscover their attacking flair tonight, and they are also 15/8 favourites to win the competition outright. My advice? Get on those odds here before they get any shorter.

Sky Sports’ Avram Grant-enraging schedule tinkering means there is no Monday night game tonight, so it’s all about the snooker. The first round is still in play, and the bookies think Steve Davis will lose to Stuart Bingham, while Mark Selby will overcome Mark King.

Video: Ronnie O’Sullivan’s ‘foul-mouthed TV tirade’


The Rocket relieves interview boredom with lewd gestures and naughty words

It’s not often that a professional sportsman asks journalists if they would like to ‘nosh’ him during a press conference, but Rocket Ronnie went there at the China Open in Beijing on Wednesday.

This isn’t nearly as bad as the tabloids are making it out to be, most of the rudeness is muttered to the man sitting next to him, and would have gone over the heads of the majority of people in the room.

Skip to around (1.45) for the best bits.
