Eurovision 2013: Who have you been backing?

Where the money is going – Sweden v Ireland
By Aidan Elder | Chief sports writer There are three types of lies.

Twitter reaction to England’s Six Nations win over Ireland
England gave their Six Nations Grand Slam ambitions a huge boost by beating Ireland 12-6 at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon.

Betting news on Ashley Cole, the Six Nations and today’s racing
Football Ashley Cole will receive his 100th cap for England tonight when the Three Lions take on Brazil at Wembley tonight. The Chelsea man has been England’s first choice left-back for more than a decade but to say he’s a fan favourite would be like saying that Piers Morgan is ‘well-loved’ in the UK.
