What an end to the season with City claiming their first title in 44 years in dramatic fashion, but now is when the crazy season really starts!

Hazard a guess where Eden will go? Will King Kenny reign for another year after finishing 8th? Will Joey Barton survive the summer without reoffending? Will Di Matteo be replaced if Chelsea win the champions league final? What will Woy do without Wayne Wooney in the first two games of the Euwos?

Barcelona have suffered a major blow ahead of their Champions League Semi-Final first leg with Chelsea, David Luiz has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

This will be the ninth meeting between the two clubs in the Champions League in the Roman Abramovich era as owner of Chelsea. Barcelona are 7/10 (Boylesports) favourites to take a lead to the Nou Camp for the second-leg, whilst Chelsea are massively priced at 4/1 at home with most firms.

FLEMENSTAR is proving to be a top class performer and more than justified market leader in today’s 4.30 Fairyhouse Power Gold Cup at 4.30 at Evens. He has won the last four on soft ground but there is no doubt he will be able to handle the quicker ground today, having won the last four in emphatic style.

The first Major championship of the season tees-up in Augusta national this week with the ultimate prize on offer, a Green jacket.

I’ve never understood the tradition of the Green jacket; presumably the winner goes on to wear it whilst umpiring at Wimbledon.

One man who has more green jackets than a group of Leprechauns on an Irish stag do is Tiger Woods. The four-time winner of the Masters arrives at Augusta National fresh from his five-stroke victory at Bay Hill – which was his first on the PGA Tour in two and a half years.

I have had a bad time with my bets recently; I placed £50 in-play that Andy Carroll would score one-on-one with Tim Krul. I lost another £50 on the instant replay.

A resurgent Blackburn Rovers host title chasing Manchster United this evening in Sky Sports Monday night live match.

United start the match as 2/5 favourites as they look to increase the gap between themselves and Manchester City, but Blackburn have upset the odds against the reigning champions once already this season and are priced 8/1 by Boylesports.

Benfica boss Jesus has pledged his team will be out tonight to silence the jibes from Drogba.

Drogba feigned fear in a video on the Chelsea website when they were drew against the Portuguese side. Drogba is an expert in the art of simulation, usually on the pitch with no one near him.

Big Bucks aims for his 16th consecutive win today and it is difficult to see him stopped. At around 4/6 and the way the festival has went, it’s not really worth the bet.

Riverside Theatre who at 5/1 is the bet of the day. Although he is up against a strong field in the Ryanair chase, with horses like Somersby and Albertas Run who can not be discounted lightly, 5/1 is a good price.

Forpadydeplasterer who loves Cheltenham is worth an each way bet at 40/1 (Ryanair Chase)

Riverside Theatre doubled up with Big Buck pays around 9/1 which is worth considering.

Also worth noting that Paddypower are offering money back if your horse finishes 2nd to Big Bucks with Oscar Whiskey poised to run a big race.

Day 1 down, Sprinter Sacre sprinted and hurricane fly devastated.

Onwards and upwards for day 2 with Paddypower who are offering 5 places in the Coral Cup.

Get on Son of Flicka at 20/1 each way and take advantage of the 5 places Paddypower have on offer.

The best way to make money off these good things is to get them in an accumulator. I have went for three “certs” and threw in Riverside Threatre in the Ryanair chase to get the odds up.

Hurricane Fly, Big Bucks, Quevega and Riverside Theatre. Currently 25/1, but Paddypower offer SP or better.

If you haven’t got an account with Paddypower, get on this joining offer where when you join and bet £10, you get a free £20 bet.

Then stick the £10 on Al Ferof (refunded if Sprinter Sacre wins) and the £20 free bet on the accumulator above. (Using this £20 free bet pays out at least £500)

Cheltenham is finally upon us. Make sure you are prepared for this year’s festival by making the most of the various cashback and special promotions bookmakers are putting on.

In the Arkle on Day one, PaddyPower are offering cashback if Sprinter Sacre wins, tempting considering there are only 6 runners in this race. Using this offer, Al Ferof at 5/2 looks a great bet, who could challenge with the stamina to get up the hill.

For the Sprinter Sacre fans out there, bet with Boylesports, who are offering refunds on the first 4 races of Cheltenham if your horse finishes 2nd.
