"...Don't stop, believin'..."

Mark Williams beat Shaun Murphy.
Ronnie O'Sullivan made it to the semi finals.
Aston Villa won 1-0.
Two winners and an ante post improver yesterday, only the minmum stake African Nations Cup double letting us down.
Only one game in that competition today, featuring lots of Premier League talent.
Ghana v Ivory Coast.
Neither side have made great starts to the tournament and with our poor performance with picks in Angola so far and the volatile nature of the tournament up to now, I'm recommending a minimum stake win on the side with a 1-0 head to head lead.
AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS GHANA v Ivory Coast general 3/1 (6:30p.m k.o BRITISH EUROSPORT)
With a full weekend of European Rugby Union, including both Heineken Cup and Challenge Cup matches, commencing last night, I have given tonights fixtures a quick glance and may have found a decent bet.
Premiership side, Newcastle Falcons travel to France to play Top14 bottom side, Albi.
The home fixture for Newcastle finished with a resounding 43-5 victory and with an opportunity to extend their 5 point lead at the top of their group, Newcastle look strong favourites to take maximum points.
At 1/4 we have no chance of winning enough but a manageable handicap should relinquish some profit.
EURO CHALLENGE CUP RUGBY UNION NEWCASTLE FALCONS -9.5 v Albi (7:00p.m k.o non-televised)
On to the magic of the green baize!
We're trying to protect a perfect record for this tournament and with our ante post pick (RONNIE O'SULLIVAN 6/4 documented post 12/01/10) now trading at a little shorter than even money, this weeks snooker has been a real pick me up for this spot.
Todays last two quarter finals are,
Stephen Maguire v Ryan Day
Mark Selby v Mark Allen
First up, the head to head between Maguire and Day is 2-0 to the Scotsman, but both victories have been by just one frame and with Day still improving I'm siding with the Welsh again!
LONDON MASTERS SNOOKER Q-F RYAN DAY +1.5 FRAMES V Stephen Maguire 5/6 general (1:30p.m break BRITISH EUROSPORT)
Tonights match features the player to knock the world number 1 out of this competition and a world championship quarter finalist.
Mark Allen, although beating John Higgins fairly comfortably, was scratchy with his break building and Higgins was nowhere near his best.
Selby holds a 3-0 record over Allen, so the pick will be going with the "Jester from Leicester."
LONDON MASTERS SNOOKER Q-F MARK SELBY -1.5 FRAMES v Mark Allen 10/11 general (7:00p.m break BRITISH EUROSPORT)
Plenty to look at for this weekend with Premier League back in full swing, Heineken Cup Rugby UNion, NFL Playooffs, Masters Snooker semi finals and an ante post pick for the Australian Open.
C'MON!!!
