Gunners dig deep to go top
The conventional wisdom about Arsenal's title push is that they have the easy run-in. Compared to Chelsea and Manchester United it is apparently a piece of cake. A home game against the team above the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference was supposed to be one of the tastiest of the lot, but Arsene Wenger's team came oh-so-close to suffering a terrible dose of indigestion.
Ireland's wake-up call
Ireland's tenancy at Croke Park ended with a certain symmetry yesterday, with a defeat that cost them silverware.
Keane strikes in Bhoys stroll
Robbie Keane kept up his impressive scoring rate for Celtic as his second-half penalty helped the Parkhead men to a comfortable 3-0 victory over St Johnstone.
Colm O'Rourke: Red Hand prospects hinging on Harte's crisis of faith

Cody's break for Ballyhale
Kilkenny have decided not to call on their Ballyhale heroes for today's game against Dublin in Parnell Park. Henry Shefflin and Co have been given some time off from hurling.

Wednesday at Cheltenham and as usual the lady and the creep are monitoring the market in the betting ring.

Croke Park travesty put the boot into my afternoon
MY tolerance threshold for bullshit football is lower than ever after the St Patrick's Day travesty of the All-Ireland club final between St Gall's and Kilmurry Ibrickane.
'Pat Fanning was the most inspiring person I ever met'
A S the remains of Pat Fanning were being taken from St John's Church in Waterford city on the journey to his final resting place, The Hurlers of Mount Sion, the club anthem, stole in over the silent congregation. Its lyrics, hailing the virtues of the club's stickmen, have been invoked for 80 years on various occasions, including sad ones like this.
McCoy battered and bruised but ready for Gold Cup duel
Another blank Thursday session for the visiting contingent kept the bookmakers happy and left punters miserable as Irish riders Davy Condon and Robert Power incurred the wrath of the stewards.
Falls, friendships and fortune in the Festival's glorious mystery
If asked to nominate a favourite day of the Festival, I wouldn't hesitate in saying Monday. Because as soon as Tuesday starts, and the Supreme Novices is under way, Cheltenham is whoosh. The blink of an eye, a gasp of breath, and before you know it the Grand Annual runners are unsaddling and crowds are evacuating through the plastic champagne flutes and worn-out newspapers of Gold Cup day.
