IT'S not very often that football takes a back seat here on the site but today is one such day is the first of the Cheltenham Festival. Here we go!
The long wait is over, at 1.30pm the roar will go up and we'll be on our way to four brilliant days of racing. Excitement, drama, cheers and tears are guaranteed and we've got it all covered.

After the excitement of Cheltenham we've a few fascinating Champions League games which are finely balanced, to look forward to.
Benfica came from behind twice to draw 2-2 with Ajax in Lisbon but could find things a bit more difficult in Amsterdam where the hosts are just 4/11 to win.
It could be another game that sees goals, the Dutch champions have now scored 77 in 26 Eredivise games so certainly know where the back fo the net is. Over 2.5 Goals is just 4/11 but Over 1.5 First Half Goals is backable at 10/11 and that landed comfortably in the first leg which was 1-2 at half-time. Dusan Tadic opened the scoring in that match and he's been boosted to 5/1 by Bet365 to repeat that feat.
Anthony Elanga's late goal earned Man Utd a draw at Atletico Madrid a few weeks ago to set up a blockbuster match at Old Trafford tonight.
For both sides the Champions League looks their best route to success this season and with each of them battling for a top four finish in their respective leagues winning the trophy would secure entry to the competition for next season, but there's a long way to go before either can be considered serious contenders to be crowned Champions of europe. For what it's worth Man Utd are currently 25/1 and Atletico are 33/1.
With no away goals at play, the odds on the tie going to extra-time are greatly increased. There was little to choose between the sides in the first leg, United enjoyed more possession but the La Liga champions had more shots on goal. It could take more than 90 minutes to separate the sides and the draw at 11/5 appeals.
Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the years against Spurs at the weekend with a brilliant hat-trick and the Portuguese hitman, who is no stranger to a goal against Atleti, is 7/2 to open the scoring tonight.

Unlucky with.my Dundee United corners ? they never got 1 until the 90th minute. Total rubbish from a team playing at home. I wil not be backing them again LOSERS. Well done all winners.
was just looking at Dundee Uniteds stats just before the Event finished, and to have No shots on goal and getting your solitary corner in the 90 minute is poor fare
Home tie in a Scottish Cup quarter final should produce better than that, irrespective of the opposition..
Yeah boabee . You would have thought they would have had a go mate . I think they were playing for extra time .
Morning
Obi, Sean anything for Perth – CCM game?
Just writing up a preview now, will post in a few mins.
Over 1.5 match goals in every game in the English Championship,League 1 and 2 apart from the games at Blackburn,West Brom,Plymouth and Port Vale 306/1 Taking out the Championship ones 148/1
sky prices should be better doing with bookie who have acca boost
Missed the boat on the Victory match, had written up a tip for btts/overs, but thought I had more time. If it’s any consolation, I also missed putting my own bet on… and it’s 1-1 in the first 10 mins. :(
Perth Glory v Central Coast Mariners (A-League)
Glory sit at the bottom of the table, and have been utterly terrible to date. They lost 2-0 in their last game, and barely had a sniff in the game against Sydney. They have a decent squad and really should be doing better than they have been presently. When Fornaroli and Keogh start clicking, goals will come for this side. Glory are getting Keogh, Malik and Reddy back for this one, although Sturridge is still unlikely to feature.
Mariners are 8th on the ladder, and also have been average of late, not putting away their chances. They have a full squad to select from, and have the potential to get a result, but I’m not sure they will have it all their way tonight.
I think the return of Keogh and the fact that this game is one of the few to be played in Western Australia so far this season, I can see Glory turning their fortunes around. I’m not brave enough to pick the result, but I will get on goals & goalscorer.
Over 2.5 goals @ evens (NAP)

Ajax Benfica home win
Blackburn – Derby home DNB
Plymouth Argyle Portsmouth under 3,5 match goals
Sheffield Wednesday Accrington Stanley home win
Shrewsbury Town Morecambe over 1,5 match goals
Dijon Le Havre xe
total odds 7.9 almost 8
Very probably / Main bet Dijon – Le Havre x2
A biiger odds with good chances is Le Havre to win for odds 3.5
And o very good odds, is Shrewsbury Town Morecambe over 1,5 match goals odd 1.5
I d ont undestant why it is odd 1.50 for only 2 goals to strike
It is easy peasy over 1,5 match goals here
I expect only Shrewsbury to strike 2 goals for odds 2.4
Be more inspired then me!

AFC Fylde v Telford
I have followed Fylde this season and up until Christmas they were right up at the top of league. Since then they have been struggling, so much so that they changed their manager and brought the guy who was in charge at Chesterfield until being let go for disciplinary reasons. They won at Kidderminster at weekend and l feel they will carry that forward tonight.
