Cheese and jalapeno toasties....

Food of champions! Those and stuffed crust pizzas.
Lots to mention, little time before it starts.
Hard luck to Great Britain in the Hopman Cup down under, the sweaty sock had carried Laura Robson all the way to the final and when she finally wins a singles match, Murray throws in his first stinker of the week, losing 2-1 to Spain.
When did Spain get so good at sports?
Sticking to tennis for a mo, live televised final of the Qatar open this afternoon, live on BRITISH EUROSPORT from 3:30, Daveydenko beat Federer in the semi finals, while Rafa Nadal had a fairly easy ride through to this stage, but doing so in a commanding style. The current head to head score between the players stands at 4-4 with Daveydenko winning the last meeting at the O2 at the Tour Finals. Nadal was disappointingly poor all week, but ended the year winning the Davis Cup, giving himself a nice confidence boost coming into the new season.

This weekends football programme has been decimated by the freezing temperatures all over Britain the last few days, which only leaves a handful of fixtures being played, fortunately they are all easy winners and no shocks are expected from me.
I'm putting the two Premier fixtures in a DOUBLE and a FOURFOLD with two league one sides expected to win cosily.
The premier double is 1-1 for me in recent weeks, with the loss coming in that dodgy 3rd round of the F.A Cup.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER ARSENAL v Everton (3:00 p.m k.0)
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER MANCHESTER UNITED v Birmingham City (3:00 p.m k.o)
The parlay returns around 11/10 on BETFAIR.
Stick these two in a further rollup (parlay) with,
ENGLISH LEAGUE ONE SOCCER LEEDS UNITED v Wycombe Wanderers (3:00 p.m k.o)
ENGLISH LEAGUE ONE SOCCER NORWICH CITY v Exeter City (3:00 p.m k.o)
All four to win pays around 5/2 on BETFAIR and looks well worth following.
Global soccer was dismayed at the involvement of the TOGO national squad being involved in a terror attack en route to the AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS, which has seen them withdraw their team from the competition, commencing this Sunday.
This will offer plenty of afternoon sunshine viewing, while we're all getting chillblanes.
Before the withdrawal of togo and the suspension of the betting Ivory Coast were ante-post favourites for the tournament at 5/2. With four of the top five in the betting going to the World Cup later in the year, it may be worth backing EGYPT to compensate themselves for missing out on a trip to South Africa in June. The Egyptians have won the most Cup of Nations with six victories including the last 2 renewals.
ANTE-POST AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS 2010 EGYPT TO WIN OUTRIGHT 9/1 BETFAIR (SUN 10TH JAN)
Oval ball action, live on SKY SPORTS this afternoon comes from our frozen neck of the woods and just for something to watch
GUINNESS PREMIERSHIP LONDON WASPS +7.5 v Leicster Tigers (3:15 p.m k.o)
C'MON!!!
