"In the town where I was born, lived a man who sailed to sea, and he told us of his life, in the land of submarines". These are of course the opening lines of the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" and I've always had a bit of a problem with this song. The "land of submarines" - where on earth can you find a place where a community of people opt to live in several submarines and more importantly isn't the whole point of living in submarines that they are under water as opposed to on dry land? The yellow submarine Villarreal are in action tonight away to Barcelona in the second leg of the Spanish Cup (first leg finished 0-0) and I feel Barca are seriously under-priced here. Villarreal won two of their last three in the league and the other one was a defeat away to Real Madrid at the weekend where they lost 3-2 after twice going behind and only lost because two-goal hero Robinho played out of his skin. It could easily finish 0-0 again tonight with Barca fancying their chances of winning in extra-time so I'm laying Barca at [1.55].

There are certain events that will probably never happen nor is there necessarily an answer to them but I'd be interested in seeing how they'd be priced up anyway: a public national vote to nominate the most annoying British sportsman out of Ian Poulter and Andy Murray and who has the most attractive wife out of Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson (Wenger once said in response to a comment made by Ferguson that "Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home"). For the record I'd go Poulter v Murray - evens the pair and [1.8] Wenger [2.1] Ferguson. Another interesting match up would be a streetfight between Graeme Smith ("Pietersen is a traitor") and KP ("Smith is an absolute muppet") and I'd go [1.7] Smith and [2.2] Pietersen. Smith has clubbed 86 and 56 in his last two ODIs against the West Indies which have set up South Africa nicely for comfortable wins and I can't see the 4th ODI going any differently. It's been a long tour for the Windies and Morton Samuels excluded, everyone just looks like they want to go home and put their feet up. Short price though it is I'm going to take the [1.27] on another South Africa win.

It's all well and good calling yourself Peter "one-dart" Manley when your form is so bad that people never actually see you get to throw at a double. It's anyone's guess whether he needs just the one dart or twenty. The Amarillo man - Manley clearly has as good a taste in music as he has a dislike for razors - is in action against PDC World Champion John Part tonight and I'm not buying the argument that the travelling from Canada is going to wear Part out. After all, they're playing darts, not running a marathon. I'm all over the [1.65] on Part.
