Can Manchester City go top of the Premier League tonight?
As long as the weather does not deteriorate any more, then the Premier League match tonight between Manchester City and Everton will be allowed to go ahead and it will not become another casualty of the cold weather that is ruining sporting events up and down the country.
The match will be a tough test for Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini as this time last year City replaced their last manager, currently he is at odd of 10/1 to be the next manager to join the Premier League sackrace.
Mancini has removed the captaincy from Carlos Tevez following his very public transfer request last week but he is still scheduled to take part in the game. A win for City at Eastlands tonight could see them leapfrog Arsenal and Manchester United to take the top spot of the Premier League although they will have played two more games than Sir Alex’s side.

Eastenders Star Heads Dancing On Ice Betting
Eastenders actor Sam Attwater is the early favourite for the ITV celebrity ice skating reality show Dancing On Ice with StanJames.com. The Eastender’s heart-throb is an 11/4-shot with the firm, who must be bearing in mind that his former Eastenders’ colleague Kara Tointon recently won Strictly Come Dancing.
Dancing On Ice, which is due to begin on Saturday 9th January, will feature 16 celebrities who possess varying degrees of fame. Ex-I’m A Celebrity winner and former face of Iceland frozen food Kerry Katona is among those taking part, as is former news reader Angela Rippon, and perhaps most bizarrely 1990’s rap star Vanilla Ice.
Vanilla Ice should be familiar to viewers of British reality TV shows, he joined X Factor contestants Jedward with their first single and he starred in The Farm back in 2004 when former football bad-boy Stan Collymore asked him outside for a fist fight. Vanilla Ice declined the offer, and he will presumably be hoping the likes of pint-sized TV presenter Jeff Brazier won’t be so aggressive towards him while he takes part in Dancing On Ice. StanJames.com make Vanilla Ice one of their outsiders for Dancing On Ice at odds of 33/1.
Other interesting names among the list of contestants are those of David Vitty, otherwise known as ‘Comedy Dave’ on the Radio 1 breakfast show, and Steven Arnold, who played Ashley Peacock in Coronation Street until the life of the character came to a dramatic end in the soap’s 50th Birthday multiple death extravaganza a couple of weeks ago.

Paddy Power offering cash back offer on losing accumulator bets
One of the most fun bets to make on football matches is an accumulator bet, you can quite easily make a couple of hundred pounds from a bet as small as £10, if you manage to strike it lucky and predict the outcomes of several games.
However more often than not the team that can let you down in your series of bets is often the banker, somehow teams like Manchester United manage to draw or a team at the bottom of the table choose your game to decide to make a comeback!
To help relive this stresss the bookmakers Paddy Power are now offering to refund all losing 4 folds and upwards if the bet you have made is actually winning at half time but not at full time.
With football being one of the most unpredictable games in the world there is never a “safe bet” to be made, but in the coming week games to look at and considers are Bursaspor v Kasimpasa which on paper should be an easy win for Bursapor. An away win for Arsenal at odds of 3/1 against Manchester United tonight could help boost your accumulator. Another game to look at is Liverpool’s Europa League match on Wednesday against FC Utrecht which should be a home win for Roy Hodgson’s side and finally on Thursday a home win for Juventas against Manchester City could net you over £165 from a £10 accumulator bet on these four games.
With all free bets and offers there will be terms and conditions that you will need to follow, just go to the PaddyPower site to read the full legal terms.

Master Minded the Pick of Star Studded Cheltenham International Meeting
The 2010 Cheltenham International meeting gets underway at Prestbury Park on Friday with a seven race card which is followed on Saturday by eight races including the re-arranged Grade 1 Tingle Creek Chase, featuring dual Champion Chaser, Master Minded. The Saturday card also includes the Grade 2 International Hurdle and the Vote AP Gold Cup, a race created to assist champion jockey’s Tony McCoy’s nomination to be crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Although there are no graded races on Friday there a couple of really interesting heats, particularly the CITIBANH Handicap Hurdle which will see the seasonal reappearance of 2010 Grand National winner, Don’t Push It. He will be taking on the current favourite for the Welsh National. in Synchronised as well as a host of good quality handicappers in a big field of runners.
Te Listed Majordomo Hospitality Handicap Chase over 3 miles and 1 furlong should see the Paul Nicholls trained Neptune Collonges manage to carry top weight to victory. Still being nurtured after a long lay-off, the one time Cheltenham Gold Cup third, who won the 2009 Hennessey Cognac Gold Cup at Punchestown should have enough class about him to take this, although there are a number of runners outside of the handicap who will be receiving bags of weight. These include Knowhere, trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, who could continue the run of big handicap wins for his in form trainer.
There will be several of the ‘usual suspects’ competing for top prize in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase, including the great Garde Champetre with Nina Carberry on board. Second over course and distance last time out in November, the 11 year old will be giving lots of weight away, which he managed to do in this race 12 months ago when winning by ¾ length from Sizing Australia.
As already mentioned the Saturday card includes the Grade 1 tingle Creek Chase over 2 miles, which will see the dual Champion Chaser attempting to win the race for a second time. He is certain however to go off as the odds on favourite, but even with odds of around 10/11 he is probably worth backing as there appears to be nothing in the race to beat him.
In the Vote AP Gold Cup, also known as the December Gold Cup, likely favourites will be Dave’s Dream trained by Nicky Henderson and Little Josh from the Nigel Twiston-Davies stable. The latter of course comes to the race after winning the Paddy Power Gold Cup over course and distance in November and will be ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies, while lead stable jockey, Paddy Brennan will get the ride on the stable’s outsider, Pigeon Island. Dave’s Dream also won last time out, impressively landing the odds in the Paddy Power Handicap Chase over two miles also in November. Given that he is sure to improve on that run, Dave’s Dream looks to be on a handy mark for this and looks a good thing with current odds of around 11/2.
AP McCoy himself will be riding Finger On The Pulse for Tom Taafe but he will have to improve enormously and jump more efficiently if he is to improve on his last performance when well down the field behind Little Josh in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. That said he was a good winner of the coveted Galway Plate back in the summer, which may give him a small each way chance on Saturday.
The Grade 2 International Hurdle looks to be the race of the day with several young hurdlers lining up against each other. Narrow favourite currently is 2010 Supreme Novice, menorah, trained by Phillip Hobbs and who won on his seasonal reappearance in the Grade 3 Greatwood Hurdle over course and distance in November. Hobbs is confident that improvement will be made, hence the short price being offered. To win however, Menorah will have to get the better of the massively regarded, Cue card, trained by Colin Tizzard and who won the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival earlier this year. Since then he has taken to hurdles like a duck does to water, winning two from two in breathtaking style, including an 8 length success last time in a good quality Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month.
The other leading contender is the Paul Nicholls trained Silviniaco Conti, who has won all five of his starts, including two Grade 2 hurdle events at Chepstow, before taking the Ascot Hurdle on the 20th November. The vibes about this 4 year old are equally as hot as they are about Cue Card, which makes for a fascinating race, where at this stage it is difficult to pick a winner. It certainly would be a big surprise to see anything other than these three in the frame at the finish.
